Madam Zheng took a deep breath before saying, "No need, go and tell my elder brother..."
Granny Liu listened with trepidation. After Madam Zheng finished speaking, she didn't dare to delay and said, "This servant will go right away!"
"Go!" Madam Zheng seemed to have vented her anger and regained her usual noble demeanor. "Don't worry about me. I'll go to the pharmacy to get the medicine. Just invite my elder brother over."

"This Bai Nuo is increasingly disrespectful to me!" As soon as Bai Nuo and the others left, Huang Haichuan was so angry that he swept everything off the table, and the vase on the table shattered and scattered on the ground.
"Master, please don't be angry!" Mingyue placed her hand on Huang Haichuan's chest to soothe him. "No matter what, the young mistress is in charge of the household now. It's normal for her to have a bit of a temper. But no matter what, you are still her elder. She can't overstep your bounds."
"I think she's about to get all high and mighty over me!" Huang Haichuan roared. "Damn Hu Mingmei, I'll make sure you're dead one day!"
Mingyue listened with surprise and doubt. What did Huang Haichuan mean by that? Did he mean that he was partly responsible for Hu Mingmei's illness becoming like this?
Although Mingyue had never met Hu Mingmei, she had spent a lot of time in those kinds of places, so she was quick-witted and had thought things through before she could even finish a sentence someone said.
While she was still quite puzzled, Huang Haichuan looked over. She quickly suppressed her thoughts and smiled charmingly at him.
Huang Haichuan pinched her chin with one hand and said coldly, "What? Do you suspect that I caused Hu Mingmei's illness?"
"How could that be?" Mingyue laughed. "Everyone in the capital knows that Second Master's illness is something he was born with. How could it have anything to do with Master?"
“That’s right!” Huang Haichuan nodded. “His illness was congenital. My eldest brother and stepmother, who were born of the same mother, did too many bad things. Heaven is going to make them die without an heir!”
She had heard that the young mistress was already pregnant, and Hu Mingmei was hardly going to be childless.
Mingyue thought this, but dared not reveal it at all. As her mind raced, she heard Huang Haichuan say, "Are you going to tell anyone what I just said?"
"How could that be?" Mingyue giggled. "Master, you care about me, you help me, and you stand up for me. How could I do such a thing? I'm so eager to please you, Master. I didn't hear anything today!"
As she spoke, her little hands began to wander. Huang Haichuan snorted softly but did not stop her.
While Huang Haichuan was enjoying his carefree life, on the other hand, Madam Zheng was summoned out of Huang Yikang's courtyard by Qian Peilan.
"I'm asking you, what exactly is going on with Kang'er? Why is it that people are only allowed to enter but not leave?" Qian Peilan couldn't find Madam Zheng in Madam Zheng's courtyard, so she had to look for her in Huang Yikang's courtyard. But as soon as she arrived at Huang Yikang's courtyard, she saw two men guarding the gate, allowing people to enter but not leave.
"It's nothing!" Madam Zheng said calmly. "It's just that Kang'er needs to study hard, and I don't want anyone to disturb him!"
"What's the use of studying hard?" Qian Peilan sneered, no longer dwelling on the matter, and turned her gaze to Madam Zheng's face. "What happened to your face? How did you get into such a mess?"
"It's nothing, he fell down on his own!" Madam Zheng's tone remained indifferent.
"I've heard about it!" Qian Peilan snorted coldly, clearly not believing Madam Zheng's words. "Zheng Pei, I've already heard that you got into a fight with Haichuan!" There are many people and many gossips in the compound. Anything that happens will quickly reach everyone's ears, even Butler Bai Nuo.
Not long after the incident, Qian Peilan, who had stayed behind to retire, heard about it and even came to Madam Zheng's place.
"I'm asking you, why did you fight with Haichuan?" Qian Peilan stared at Zheng Pei with displeasure. "He's a man, how could you hit him?"
Hearing this, Madam Zheng wanted to sneer. Only now did she realize that the most normal person in this compound was actually Bai Nuo.
"Since you've heard about it, you should know that there's another woman in his courtyard!" Madam Zheng didn't want to tell Qian Peilan the real reason. Qian Peilan hadn't mentioned Huang Yikang's illness, which meant that Qian Peilan didn't know what Huang Yikang's illness was, so Madam Zheng just made up a reason.
This reason is also true.
“So what if he has another woman?” Qian Peilan said. “Haichuan is a normal man with an excellent family background and good looks. Isn’t it normal for him to have a few women? You actually beat him up for that reason. You’re a vicious woman!”
Huang Haichuan's appearance has always been something Qian Peilan is very proud of. In her youth, she was a renowned beauty, otherwise the princess's husband would not have been willing to give up the princess and not marry her. Huang Haichuan inherited her looks and was extremely handsome. Although he is now middle-aged and not as good as he was in his youth, Huang Haichuan is still outstanding among middle-aged people in the capital.
So no matter how many women Huang Haichuan had, Qian Peilan didn't care, because in her heart, Huang Haichuan deserved so many women, and those women should be crazy about him.
"The Hu family cannot take concubines!" Madam Zheng said calmly. "This rule has existed since the Hu family began. Have you forgotten, Mother-in-law?"
