Although the maids and servants in the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion worked very quickly, the amount of Qu Ruoli's dowry was so huge that they were busy all night before they figured out Su Qing's inner room's dowry for Qu Ruoli!
In the second half of the night, the old lady was persuaded by Ji Shuyu and Yun Qianmeng to go back and rest, but Ji Shuyu insisted on waiting until the accountant handed the list to her. After seeing with her own eyes that everyone moved all the items to Yun Qianmeng's Qiluo Garden, she felt relieved!
Yun Qianmeng looked at the things piled up in the yard and suddenly felt a headache!
For a moment, he actually admired Su Qing. In order to monopolize Qu Ruoli's dowry, that woman actually opened a large secret room in her inner room. In addition to being able to hold all the dowry, there were also many other treasures!
Mi Huangma, Mu Chun and others helped the maids of the Fuguo Mansion move some of the most valuable items into the inner room. Yun Qianmeng saw Ji Shuyu busy all night for her own affairs, and she felt guilty. She took Ji Shuyu's hand and said distressedly, "Aunt, if you don't mind, you can rest in my room for a while before going back..."
Ji Shuyu knew that Yun Qianmeng was genuinely concerned about him, but the old lady must be waiting for news from him. So, she smiled and touched Yun Qianmeng's slightly pale face after staying up late, and said with a faint smile, "No, I still have to go back and report to the old lady! As for you, you should have a good rest for a day!"
As she spoke, she handed the account book to Yun Qianmeng and carefully instructed her, "Compare it carefully with the previous account book. If there's anything missing, your aunt will definitely get it back for you!"
Yun Qianmeng was deeply moved when she saw Ji Shuyu still thinking about her affairs. She took the account book with both hands and said with deep emotion, "What a pity for those two blood corals! The kindness of the Prince of Fuguo Mansion to Meng'er is something Meng'er will never be able to repay in her lifetime!"
Ji Shuyu was surprised to see her serious tone when she said this. After a while, she gently embraced the young but heart-breaking Yun Qianmeng in her arms and whispered, "You are not only my niece, but also my aunt's biological child, and even more so, the child of our Fuguo Mansion! Isn't that how a mother treats her own children? Child, stop being so reserved, or your aunt won't help you in the future! Besides, exchanging two blood corals for Ruoli's dowry is a sure win!"
Yun Qianmeng stayed quietly in Ji Shuyu's arms, feeling the motherly love that she had never experienced in two lifetimes. This soft and gentle embrace contained immeasurable power, which calmed Yun Qianmeng's restless heart for a moment!
Seeing that it was already dawn, the maid beside her gently reminded Ji Shuyu that she had to go back to the Fuguo Mansion, otherwise the old lady would be worried if she couldn't find anyone!
Seeing that he had already stayed in the Prime Minister's Residence for a whole night, Ji Shuyu could not delay any longer, so he gently let go of Yun Qianmeng and reminded her worriedly, "You must be careful in dealing with everyone these days. If you can't suppress it, feel free to bring up the Prince of Fuguo's Residence and the Queen Mother!"
Hearing this, Yun Qianmeng's calm face suddenly turned funny, as if she was so unreasonable that she had to use her power to oppress others!
However, Yun Qianmeng felt a clear knife in her heart. If it weren't for Ji Shuyu's identity last night, she would not have been able to suppress the old lady!
The reason why Su Qing was so angry that she vomited blood and fainted was because her identity was too humble. This was also the most important reason why Su Qing lost from the beginning!
She had wanted to send Ji Shuyu to the Prime Minister's residence, but she stopped Yun Qianmeng at the gate of Qiluo Garden. Then she pulled Yun Qianmeng closer and asked in a low voice with a hint of concern, "I heard that your uncle's children were all taken to the Prime Minister's residence by the old lady. Is that true?"
Since Ji Shuyu had asked this, he naturally knew the truth of the matter. Yun Qianmeng did not hide it at all. She smiled lightly and nodded, telling Ji Shuyu all the old lady's plans!
Then, seeing Ji Shuyu frown slightly, Yun Qianmeng smiled calmly and said in a gentle voice, "Aunt, don't worry too much! No matter how good they are, they are not my father's children! Meng'er knows this!"
Seeing her calm and composed look, Ji Shuyu slowly let go of the worry in his heart. He asked Yun Qianmeng to go back to the house to rest, and he hurried back to the Fuguo Mansion with the maids and servants behind him!
Yun Qianmeng returned to the inner room. Mi Mama, Mu Chun and others were taking inventory of the warehouse. Seeing her return, Mi Mama put down her work and walked over to ask, "Miss, let me serve you and take a rest!"
But Yun Qianmeng shook her head. "No, it's already daybreak. Please help me wash and change my clothes. I need to go to pay my respects to my grandmother! Shui'er and Bing'er will look after these things. We can count them when we get back!"
Nanny Mi originally wanted to persuade Yun Qianmeng to have a good rest today, but she also thought that the young lady had received such a large dowry, and the old lady was already unhappy. If she continued to rely on the support of the Prince of Fuguo Mansion and did not go to pay her respects, the old lady might make things difficult for the young lady. So she and Mu Chun, one fetched water and the other took out clean clothes, helped Yun Qianmeng wash her face and change clothes, and went to the old lady's Baishun Hall together!
At this time, it was only an hour since the old lady went to bed, so naturally she had not gotten up yet. Yun Qianmeng sat in the outer room and waited for a cup of tea. Then, led by Miao Niangma, she came to the inner room, bowed in front of the old lady's bed, and then left Baishun Hall quietly!
At this moment, a loud wailing sound was heard in Fenghe Garden. Su Qing woke up the next day and found that two-thirds of her inner room had been emptied. She panicked and fell to the door of the secret room, slapping the carpet with her hands and bursting into tears!
"Madam, madam, you can't be too sad! Don't forget that you have a little master in your belly!" Nanny Wang also felt uncomfortable. She knelt beside Su Qing, holding Su Qing's hand with one hand and gently stroking Su Qing's chest with the other hand to help her calm down!
But Su Qing couldn't listen to any of this at this moment. She really didn't expect that Yun Qianmeng, this little bitch, was so cruel that she almost emptied her Fenghe Garden!
Whenever Su Qing thought about how the huge fortune he had hidden for more than ten years was snatched away by others, he felt as if the blood in his body had been sucked out and he felt suffocated and uncomfortable!
Meanwhile, Yun Ruoxue, who had come over at this moment, was hiding at the doorway of the inner chamber, watching her mother weeping without any dignity. She felt a surge of regret in her heart! She had originally thought that Qu Ruoli's dowry was no different from that of an ordinary family, but yesterday, when she saw with her own eyes the yard filled with valuables, Yun Ruoxue wished she could just bang her head against the wall and die!
Those priceless treasures originally belonged to her, but now they were snatched away by that bitch Yun Qianmeng with a treacherous scheme. Yun Ruoxue was so angry that she wanted to rush to Qiluo Garden and fight Yun Qianmeng to the death!
However, Yun Ruoxue thought again that she had already lost such a huge fortune, and she must not offend Yun Qianmeng again at this critical juncture, otherwise the opportunity to attend the birthday banquet in exchange for her dowry would be wasted!
Yun Ruoxue huddled by the door and sorted out all the things. Although she felt extremely regretful, it was now impossible to take back the dowry from Yun Qianmeng. It would be better for her to focus on the birthday banquet and find a husband that everyone would envy. Then, let's see how she would deal with Yun Qianmeng!
Thinking of this, Yun Ruoxue couldn't help but show a hint of pride in her eyes, but was seen by Su Qing who turned back by chance. Su Qing suddenly got up from the ground, rushed in front of her before Yun Ruoxue could react, raised his right hand and swung it towards Yun Ruoxue's cheek!
...Bang! A loud bang stunned Yun Ruoxue and knocked the tears out of Su Qing's eyes!
Su Qing pointed in the direction of the door and shouted, "Get out! Get out!"
Yun Ruoxue's mind suddenly went blank. Looking at Su Qing's ferocious expression, she instantly became frightened. At this moment, she was not liked by everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion. If even Su Qing didn't want her, then her future situation could be imagined!
Without giving it much thought, Yun Ruoxue instinctively knelt down, hugged Su Qing's legs and cried loudly, "Mother, what's wrong with you? Yun Qianmeng dug all this trap to lure me into jumping. How can you blame me? I just want to find a good family for myself so that I can help my brother in the future! Mother, you can't drive me away. I am your biological daughter. If you do this, won't it make my loved ones sad and my enemies happy? If Yun Qianmeng knew that our mother-daughter relationship was broken, she would probably laugh at us behind our backs!"
But today Su Qing was determined. No matter how Yun Ruoxue cried and begged for mercy, the determined look in her eyes never changed!
For Su Qing, Yun Qianmeng had been regarded as an enemy before she was born. Su Qing had never been merciful to this enemy and had tried to kill Yun Qianmeng several times. Therefore, regarding Yun Qianmeng's conspiracy to frame her this time, Su Qing could only admit that she was inferior to him. Apart from feeling sorry for the dowry, she did not feel much touched in her heart!
But Yun Ruoxue is different!
Ever since Su Qing became pregnant with Yun Ruoxue, she had placed all her hopes on the child in her belly! Although Yun Ruoxue later gave birth to a girl, she was Su Qing's first child after all. Su Qing naturally loved this delicate little girl very much, and the motherly love she poured into Yun Ruoxue was beyond imagination...
But now, the person who directly caused her to lose her dowry was none other than Su Qing's eldest daughter, whom she regarded as the apple of her eye. How could she not be disheartened? How could she not hate her deeply?
Yun Ruoxue was used by Yun Qianmeng for her own selfish reasons, and she ignored the kindness he had shown her in raising her for so many years. This blatant betrayal was a bigger blow to Su Qing than losing her dowry!
Now Su Qing no longer wants to see Yun Ruoxue at all. He just asks her to stay away from him and not appear in front of him again. He also hopes that Yun Ruoxue's stupidity will not hinder the future of the child in her belly!
But Yun Ruoxue refused to let go, no matter how resigned Su Qing's expression was, no matter how cold Su Qing's expression was, she knew that if she let go, she would become a child without a mother like Yun Qianmeng. She didn't want this to happen. Su Qing had planned everything for her in the past. If she was the only one left in the future, she really didn't know how to survive. What's more, there was an old lady in the mansion who disliked her. Who knew if she lost her mother's protection, would the old lady find her an ordinary family and marry her off hastily!
Thinking of this, Yun Ruoxue burst into tears. She pressed her face tightly against Su Qing's legs without caring about her image, shaking her head and shouting that she would not let go. This made Su Qing frown suddenly, and she winked at Nanny Wang, asking her to drag Yun Ruoxue out!
But after all, Yun Ruoxue was born and raised under Nanny Wang's watch. Although the second young lady was a little spoiled and unreasonable, Nanny Wang still loved Yun Ruoxue in her heart. Now Nanny Wang had to watch Su Qing and Yun Ruoxue's mother-daughter relationship break down. Wang Tangtang was extremely unwilling to do so, so she tried to plead for Yun Ruoxue, "Madam, the young lady is still young and has grown up under your care since childhood. Naturally, she doesn't have any ulterior motives! But Yun Qianmeng is different. In order to survive in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she hid herself so deeply for so many years that she deceived all of us, and only revealed her fox tail today! The second young lady's innocence is naturally at a disadvantage compared to the eldest young lady's depth! It would be easy for the eldest young lady to use the second young lady! If you sever the mother-daughter relationship with the second young lady today, do you think the eldest young lady will show mercy to the second young lady? I'm afraid that when the second young lady suffers, it will be you, madam, who will feel the pain!"
Su Qing's originally firm heart began to waver after being persuaded by Nanny Wang. He then looked down at Yun Ruoxue, who had gauze wrapped around her head, tears on her face, and her eyes were a little red and swollen. He felt a little bit sorry for her!
But Su Qing was also angry. If she was asked to forgive Yun Ruoxue immediately, it would be difficult. So she pursed her lips and lowered her eyes to think carefully about what Nanny Wang had just said!
Seeing someone speaking for her, Yun Ruoxue immediately let go of Su Qing and rushed to Nanny Wang, crying and snotting, "Nanny, Nanny, you love Xue'er the most besides mother! Please help me to speak for me. This time, I really didn't mean it! Grandmother and Yun Qianmeng teamed up to plot against me. How could I have known so many twists and turns! I actually dragged mother down! If I had known that Yun Qianmeng had bad intentions, I would have cut my hair and become a nun, and I would not have pestered mother to hand over the dowry! Nanny, I know I was wrong. Please speak for me. Mother is still pregnant and can't be angry on my behalf anymore! Nanny, Xue'er begs you..."
At the end of her speech, Yun Ruoxue burst into tears, hugged Wang Ma's waist tightly with both hands, and pressed herself close to Wang Ma's arms, wishing she could grow on Wang Ma's body!
Seeing her crying so sadly, Nanny Wang softened her heart and continued to persuade Su Qing, "Madam, the Second Miss is your flesh and blood. Can you really bear to ignore her? Look at how pitiful the Miss is. She's crying like this with gauze wrapped around her head. What if she develops a disease in the future?"
As he spoke, Wang Fengji carefully untied the white veil on Yun Ruoxue's head, but found that the scar on her forehead seemed to be healed, but there was a pool of yellow pus inside the wound. Nanny Wang was immediately frightened, and her hand holding the white veil trembled, and she looked at Su Qing with horror in her eyes!
Su Qing had already softened her heart after being persuaded by Nanny Wang. Seeing Nanny Wang's strange behavior, she also looked at Yun Ruoxue's forehead. Suddenly, she felt dizzy and almost fell down!
She immediately helped Yun Ruoxue up and said distressedly, "Xue'er, I was wrong just now! I shouldn't have been angry with you, but you are not allowed to act like this again in the future. Otherwise, there will be no place for us mother and daughter in this prime minister's mansion!"
When Yun Ruoxue saw that Su Qing finally forgave her, she burst into laughter and hugged Su Qing's waist coquettishly, refusing to let go!
But Su Qing looked at the boil on Yun Ruoxue's head with concern. He pulled Yun Ruoxue away and asked, "Didn't you change the dressing on the scar on your forehead on time? Why did it become so scary?"
Speaking of this, Yun Ruoxue was also full of doubts. She asked the doctor to check the cream and only applied it after confirming that it was non-toxic!
However, the scar on her forehead seemed to have healed, but the pustules inside were getting bigger and bigger, and even emitted a foul odor these days. She was so scared that she had to continue wrapping it with thick gauze to avoid being laughed at!
Su Qing listened to Yun Ruoxue's narration with doubts in his heart. He took the cream handed to him by Yun Ruoxue and examined it carefully. He did not find anything abnormal, but Xue'er's injuries became more and more serious, which made people suspect that Yun Qianmeng was the one who did it!
"Madame Wang, go and get Doctor Wei!" Seeing that Yun Ruoxue's injury could not be delayed any longer, Su Qing immediately asked Madame Wang to get a doctor who specialized in preserving her pregnancy!
Upon hearing this, Wang Huangma realized the importance of this matter and immediately turned around and left Fenghe Garden to personally invite Doctor Wei...
When Ji Shuyu returned to the Fuguo Mansion, he immediately went to Ruilin Courtyard of Old Lady Gu!
At this time, the old lady had already finished her breakfast and was sitting in the warm room anxiously waiting for Ji Shuyu!
Seeing Ji Shuyu finally came back, he even forgot to let her drink a sip of tea, and hurriedly asked her what happened last night!
Seeing how nervous the old lady was, Ji Shuyu knew that she was very concerned about Yun Qianmeng, so she didn't let the old lady wait any longer and told her everything that happened last night in detail!
After hearing this, the old lady's face turned red with anger. She slammed the rosewood table with her hand wearing a green jade bracelet, making a loud noise. The maids and servants in the warm room were so scared that they dared not speak!
"These heartless beasts! I married my precious daughter to Yun Xuanzhi, but he was obsessed with Su Qing from the Su Mansion. He even brought Su Qing into the mansion the day after Li'er entered the house! Let's not talk about these things. Li'er has been gone for so many years. If we talk about these things, will they be the ones who are sad? But how did they treat my granddaughter? She lost her mother when she was young, her father was a pervert, and her grandmother was a bully who only cared about money. There was also Su Qing in the mansion who wanted to get rid of Meng'er as soon as possible. These people were so cruel to a young girl. They are really worse than beasts! I believe that if Meng'er had not been really at her wit's end, she would never have come to us yesterday. You can see to what extent these people have forced my granddaughter?" The old lady became more and more angry as she spoke. She had not shed tears for many years, but now her eyes were red when she talked about Yun Qianmeng's life experience!
Seeing the old lady like this, Ji Shuyu recalled the hypocritical and greedy look of the old lady at Fenghe Garden last night. She couldn't help but feel distressed for Wei Yun Qianmeng. As the old lady shed tears, she said, "There's something mother doesn't know! The old lady over there said yesterday that she had taken the children from Meng'er's uncle's family back to the Prime Minister's Mansion! I guess this is to plan a way out for those children! Before leaving, Meng'er told me that the old lady over there planned to take advantage of your birthday party to find a good marriage for her second son's daughter!"
... Snap! With a loud bang, the old lady smashed the teacup beside her, then cursed, "She's daydreaming! She actually uses my Fuguo Mansion as a stepping stone for her Yun family? Does she really think that Yun Xuanzhi's becoming prime minister will make her family soar to the sky? If it weren't for Ruoli's nepotism, Yun Xuanzhi, a newly crowned top scholar, would have wanted to stay in Kyoto and become an official. It was simply a foolish dream! I want to see how sophisticated her wishful thinking is! I'll pluck out all her beads one by one!"
As she spoke, the old lady exuded an aura that was different from her usual amiability, as if she had become a different person, her whole body immersed in a solemn and majestic aura. The prestige of a first-rank lady of honor instantly emanated from the old lady's bones!
Although Ji Shuyu didn't want to make the old lady angry, the Yun family was too bullying and even plotted against the Prince of Fuguo's Mansion. Even someone with such a good temper as Ji Shuyu couldn't help but get angry, not to mention the old lady who had been decisive and resolute since she was young!
At this time, the only one who could control the old lady of the Yun Mansion was the old lady!
Therefore, Ji Shuyu did not regret telling the old lady all this, so that the old lady could put down the old lady's arrogance!
When Ji Shuyu walked out of the old lady's warm room, it was already noon. He wanted to go back to his own courtyard to rest for a while, but he saw Qu Changqing and Qu Feiqing standing outside the kapok window of the warm room with angry faces. It seemed that these two children had heard everything about his conversation with the old lady just now!
When the two saw their mother coming out, they immediately went to greet her. Qu Feiqing was more straightforward. Her eyes were red at this moment. She pulled Ji Shuyu's sleeve and sobbed, "Mother, Meng'er is living like this in the Prime Minister's Mansion? How come the people there are more ferocious than jackals in the mountains, so heartless and disloyal? Fortunately, sister Meng'er is strong. If it were me, I would have to hide and cry every day!"
Seeing that Qu Feiqing had already burst into tears, Ji Shuyu suddenly felt amused. She tapped her daughter's nose with her finger and joked, "Your life is much better than your sister Meng'er's! You are surrounded by the old lady who loves you, as well as your parents and brothers. You have been living a life of luxury since childhood, but Meng'er has had to fight for survival since she was a child! Over time, the child's personality has become even stronger than we imagined. Although this is a good thing, it is also heartbreaking..."
When Ji Shuyu said this, Qu Feiqing nodded heavily, sniffing angrily and said, "The Prime Minister's Mansion is really not a place for people to stay! Mother, why don't you let my sister come to the Prince of Fuguo's Mansion! It's not like our family can't afford to support Meng'er..."
"Little sister!" But at this moment, Qu Changqing, who had been silent on the side, suddenly shouted in a low voice, frightening Qu Feiqing to hide behind her mother, patting her chest and complaining, "Brother, what are you doing? You scared me to death. Can't you just talk it out calmly? Why do you have to startle me so much?"
But this time, Ji Shuyu stood on his son's side. He pulled Qu Feiqing behind him, tapped her head, and said carefully, "Fei'er, don't talk nonsense! Your sister Meng'er has a father and a grandmother. How can she leave her home and live with her grandfather? If you do this, not only will there be speculation outside, even your uncle will not agree! You know, it may seem like a trivial matter to us, but the outside world and even the court will often escalate it into political affairs. When that happens, it will bring trouble to our Fuguo Mansion for no reason..."
Qu Feiqing grew up in an environment full of love and care, and had never experienced such danger. After hearing Ji Shuyu's analysis, she realized that the tricks here were so profound, and her way of thinking was too simple. For a moment, she felt a little shy, lowered her head, stuck out her tongue, and stood aside without saying anything!
Now it was Qu Changqing's turn to speak. His deep eyes remained calm, but the slight flicker in his gaze revealed his concern for Yun Qianmeng's situation. "Is there no other way?"
Ji Shuyu looked at her son, whom she was proud of, but couldn't help but sigh in her heart!
Although Chang Qing is steady, has the talent to govern the world and the style to lead the army, he grew up in a military camp since he was a child and is not very familiar with the struggles within the mansion. Raising such questions at this moment has exposed his shortcomings!
"It's impossible to live here permanently! But it's still possible for relatives to visit. It's not a problem to let Meng'er come and stay for half a year! However, the situation in the Prime Minister's Mansion is special right now. If Meng'er leaves, I'm afraid those villains will take the opportunity to stir up trouble again!" Ji Shuyu said in a low voice, but saw that both of his children were frowning. He couldn't help but laugh, and comforted them, "With me and the old lady here, I believe they won't dare to go too far. Don't worry too much! I believe that with Meng'er's intelligence, she will handle these things!"
After saying that, Ji Shuyu changed the subject and pulled Qu Feiqing aside to talk about whether her needlework skills had improved recently. Qu Feiqing was speechless for a moment and hugged her mother coquettishly. The mother and daughter left together with smiles on their faces!
Qu Changqing, who was standing there, looked deep in thought. Looking at the deep love between his mother and sister, he thought of Yun Qianmeng who had lost her mother since childhood. He actually felt a little pity for the little cousin whom he had only met a few times!
And Qu Changqing also knows some things that his sister doesn’t know!
Presumably, the Prime Minister's Mansion is even more dangerous than what my mother just said, otherwise Meng'er would not have asked her mother to help her get rid of the assassin who was ambushing on the road!
If I hadn't happened to hear my mother talking about this when I went to Beijing to report on my work some time ago, I'm afraid Meng'er would have been killed by Su Qing long ago!
When have the people in the Fuguo Mansion ever suffered such injustice?
Qu Changqing's eyes narrowed, a look of danger etched across his face. Without even noticing, his hands, hidden beneath his long sleeves, had already clenched into fists...
At this moment, in Fenghe Garden, there were shrill screams!
Yun Ruoxue was seen holding the two armrests of the armchair tightly with both hands, with two maids holding down her body, while Doctor Wei was holding a blade, carefully cutting open the festering wound and releasing the yellow pus inside!
Although the Western Chu State already had anesthetic powder at this time, Yun Ruoxue's wound seemed to be an external injury, and happened to be on the forehead, so Doctor Wei did not dare to use the anesthetic powder that would confuse the mind. Therefore, Yun Ruoxue was doomed to suffer this time!
Su Qing stood beside Doctor Wei, watching with concern as he carefully squeezed out the yellow pus. Only when bright red blood began to flow again did he breathe a sigh of relief. However, Yun Ruoxue had already fainted from the excruciating pain. Doctor Wei carefully applied new medicine to her wound and instructed the maid to bandage it. Su Qing then had the maids help Yun Ruoxue lie down on the bed to rest.
After everything was over, Su Qing invited Doctor Wei into the side room and whispered, "How is it? How many days will it take for my daughter's forehead injury to heal?" Doctor Wei glanced at the anxious Su Qing, weighing the extent of his words in his heart, and then stood up and answered respectfully, "To answer Aunt Su, the young lady's injury can no longer be taken lightly! Otherwise, the scar will only get worse!"
When Su Qing heard what Doctor Wei said, her face turned pale. She leaned against the small coffee table and asked weakly, "What do you mean it's getting worse? Is it possible that the scar can't be removed?" Seeing her like this, Doctor Wei knew that Su Qing could not accept this reality, but he could not lie to Su Qing, otherwise if the scar was not removed in the future, the Prime Minister would probably take his life. So he could only bite the bullet and said, "Auntie Su, if the young lady had listened to me, it would not be difficult to remove the scar! But I don't know what other medicine the young lady used instead of my medicine. Although it accelerated the healing of the wound, the remaining blood stasis was not removed, causing it to slowly rot and turn into yellow pus! Now reopening the wound to release the yellow pus is equivalent to a second injury. I am afraid that even if it heals, it will leave a light scar in the future."
Upon hearing this, Su Qing's mind suddenly sank. She handed the cream from her sleeve to Nanny Wang and asked her to have it checked by Doctor Wei to see if there was anything wrong with it! Doctor Wei took the porcelain bottle, opened it and smelled its fragrance, then took out a little and put it on a piece of paper to test it for a long time. Then he cautiously replied, "This is a top-quality medicinal material! However, this medicine can only be used after the dementia has subsided. If used rashly, it may backfire! Judging from the amount left in the porcelain bottle, the second young lady must have applied a considerable amount every day. I'm afraid that this is why she has missed the best time for treatment!"
Su Qing listened carefully to Doctor Wei's explanation. The veins on her hands resting on the table were already popping out. She weakly instructed Doctor Wei, "The young lady's injury depends on you. Do your best to heal her, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the Prime Minister! Also, besides the three of us, I don't want a fourth person to know!" Doctor Wei naturally knew that this was related to the reputation of the young lady. Even if he had the courage, he would not spread the news that the Prime Minister's daughter's face was damaged. So he immediately nodded in agreement!
Nanny Wang, who was standing by, saw that Su Qing had been angry, vomiting blood, and fainting in the past few days, and had sex with Yun Xuanzhi, so she became worried about her health. Before Doctor Wei left, she asked him to check Su Qing's pulse!
As a result, there was a problem with the pulse. Doctor Wei was sweating profusely at this time, and his tone was a little unstable. "Madam Su, you must not be angry anymore! Otherwise, the fetus will be in danger!"
Su Qing didn't expect that Doctor Wei would come to such a conclusion. He slumped in the chair like a deflated ball and couldn't respond for a long time!
Nanny Wang, on the other hand, seemed much calmer at this moment. She quickly pulled Doctor Wei aside and asked, "What's the problem? You must save our Madam's child, or I'll have the Prime Minister confiscate your pharmacy!"
Doctor Wei was intimidated by Wang Wutang's aura. He swallowed hard and then replied cautiously, "Madam Su was angry and had sex before. This is taboo during the first three months of pregnancy! If you don't take good care of the fetus in the next month, even a Daluo immortal won't be able to save it! Madam Su, please cooperate with me in using the medicine. Don't ignore the fetus for the sake of temporary pleasure!"
As he said that, Doctor Wei quickly opened the medicine box, took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and began to write the prescription for Yun Ruoxue and Su Qing!
Seeing that there was still hope of saving her child, Su Qing obeyed the doctor's words with extra obedience, nodded vigorously, and asked Nanny Wang to take twenty taels of money from the room and give it to Doctor Wei!
After seeing off Doctor Wei, Wang Maji returned to the side room and saw Su Qing still sitting there. She went up to her and advised her, "Madam, you must take good care of yourself in the next month! Please let those little bitches go for now. It won't be too late to deal with them after the child is stable! We can't do something like killing three thousand enemies and losing ten thousand soldiers!"
Su Qing also knew the interests involved at this time. During this period of time, she had been thinking hard about suppressing Yun Qianmeng because of her transformation. Secondly, she was worried about Liu Hanyu's power. Over time, she damaged her own body!
Seeing Doctor Wei's serious warning today, she also knew what was more important. If she could hold it in for now, she would be able to control the entire Prime Minister's Mansion in the future. Why would she lose the watermelon just to get a moment's anger? Thinking of this, Su Qing nodded and was helped back to the inner room by Nanny Wang. Looking at Yun Ruoxue sleeping on the bed, she couldn't help but feel a headache again!
I had originally wanted to use Yun Ruoxue's scar to severely inflict damage on Yun Qianmeng, so that Yun Xuanzhi would think that it was Yun Qianmeng who had tampered with the cream!
But if you think about it carefully, since Yun Qianmeng has the courage to give the things to Ruoxue, it means that she has made complete preparations. When the time comes, she will ask the imperial physician to diagnose the problem, and maybe the problem will be escalated to the serious crime of contempt for the Queen Mother's kindness. By then, I am afraid that even the Su family will be involved!
Therefore, although Su Qing couldn't swallow this loss, he could only grit his teeth and swallow it!
"Mammy, I'll leave the matter of changing Xue'er's dressing to you. Please don't make any mistakes again!" Su Qing sat by the bed, gently stroking her daughter's tender face. Looking at Yun Ruoxue who looked so much like herself, and looking at the gauze wrapped around her forehead, she felt so distressed that she could only whisper instructions to Mammy Wang!
Nanny Wang cautiously agreed, but then, thinking of the birthday party in a few days, she stepped out and asked, "What should we do on the birthday party? Should we let the Second Young Lady enter the Prince Regent's Mansion with a bandage on her head? That would be extremely disrespectful, and the Eldest Young Lady could use this as an excuse to make trouble!"
Su Qing was also worried about this, his eyes full of impatience, and he said unhappily, "If it really doesn't work, I can only cut Xue'er's bangs to cover the wound!"
Hearing this, Nanny Wang sighed softly, but she knew there was no other way, so she could only go downstairs to prepare medicine for Su Qing and Yun Ruoxue!
March 26th of the lunar calendar is the 60th birthday of the old lady of the Fuguo Mansion. Before dawn, the ladies of each mansion began to dress up, intending to attend the old lady's birthday banquet in the best mental state!
In the Prime Minister's residence, the old lady let Yun Qianmeng and other sisters go back to their respective courtyards early the night before, and asked them to have a good rest and celebrate the old lady's birthday the next day!
It seems that the old lady really attaches great importance to this birthday party!
After all, this was her first time to attend such an important banquet outside of Kyoto since returning to the capital, and it was also her first step to gain a foothold in Kyoto's upper class society!
Therefore, just after the Yin hour on the 26th, the old lady sent Miao Mumu to the courtyards of each young lady and asked her to personally invite the young ladies to Baishun Hall!
Yun Qianmeng looked at the sisters around her. They were all dressed in brand new gorgeous clothes, which made them look more beautiful than flowers. It seemed that each of them cared about this birthday party very much!
However, compared with Yun Yiyi who has the support of the old lady, and Yun Ruoxue who has the support of Su Qing, although her mother has taken power in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yun Yan's dress is still a little behind!
It seems that Concubine Liu also had some thoughts in mind. She knew that in an occasion like today, she must not steal the limelight from Gan Jin of the Fuguo Mansion, nor from Yun Qianmeng!
Otherwise, you will end up being suppressed by others just for this one chance to win!
Yun Qianmeng felt a little sorry for Yun Yan as she was trying so carefully to please him. If it weren't for her poor background, Yun Yan would be as beautiful and talented as Yun Ruoxue and Yun Yiyi!
The old lady's attention was now entirely on Yun Yiyi. Seeing that the little girl was still half asleep, she pinched Yun Yiyi's cheek with a fierce look, startling Yun Yiyi so much that she almost jumped up. Then, while tidying up Yun Yiyi's clothes, she scolded her, "Come on! Today is an important occasion, you can't lose face for me!"
After hearing these words, Yun Ruoxue sneered in her heart. It turned out that in the old lady's heart, Yun Yiyi was the only granddaughter!
And the way Yun Qianmeng smiled faintly, although she had no good feelings towards this grandmother, she would not immediately embarrass her!
Seeing that Yun Qianmeng did not respond to her words, the old lady still gave the other three some instructions, and then asked Nanny Yin to fix her hair and jewelry. It was almost noon when the five of them finally arrived at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion in a sedan chair. At this time, the carriage sent by the Prince of the State's Mansion had been waiting for half an hour!
The old lady boarded the carriage with the attitude of the mistress of the Xiangfu Mansion, and showed off her manners in front of the maids and servants of the Fuguo Mansion. Only then did she sit in the carriage with satisfaction.
