Chapter 237: Character (Part 2)
Madam Ge said, "Don't be angry, old lady. It's not worth it to get yourself hurt by anger."
"I'm wondering, how could a respectable young lady from the Duke's Mansion fall for our Pei family? It turns out the Cui family knew something was going to happen, so they came to our Pei family. Humph, I thought I was such a noble and honorable daughter!"
The old lady spoke with an expression of dissatisfaction towards Cui Qingci.
"Look at the Cui family's previous attitude, they acted so high and mighty, but they still lost everything. Now we have the final say on their granddaughter's life or death."
When Mrs. Pei thought about the arrogant attitude of the Cui family when she went to Cui Mansion before, she felt angry and dissatisfied.
Not to mention that as soon as Cui Qingci entered the mansion, the old man told her to take charge of the household chores, which made her even more dissatisfied.
She has been in charge of the household finances for so long, but she didn't even give one to her own son-in-law, so why should she give one to her grandson-in-law?
Not to mention that Cui Qingci actually blocked the way of her niece's granddaughter.
"That stupid woman, if she wasn't Nanchen's mother, she would think I would tolerate her."
The old lady said this with a sinister look on her face.
Madam Ge knew the old lady's style of doing things, "Then, old lady, will we still follow the old rules?"
"Take out all the silver, pawn the beads, and be careful. As for the clothes, burn them all."
"Yes, ma'am."
As if she had thought of something, the old lady had a sinister look on her face and murderous intent in her eyes.
"If he wasn't a quiet person, the Cui family would be gone. He would be useless and would be disposed of directly."
Nanny Ge was shocked and realized that the old lady had murderous intentions towards the young lady.
"Madam, if it's the Cui family..."
"There's a message from above. The Cui family is to be killed. Do you think they will come back alive? They can't even leave Beizhou. Our emperor will not allow these people to return to the capital alive. What are you afraid of?"
"But Nanchen..."
The old lady snorted coldly, "We were the ones who forced Nanchen to marry the Cui family girl. He sacrificed his own interests for the sake of the family. Do you think he would care about Cui Qingci?"
"Nanchen has a stubborn personality and hates being forced by his family. He was just putting on a show for our Pei Mansion before."
"Besides, he's not in the house, so I still have the final say."
"Men, I still like gentleness and consideration, so what if they are noble and elegant?"
"How much is a man's love worth? Back then, the old man was desperate for a man from outside, causing unrest in the mansion, but in the end, he was too lazy to even look at that man."
Speaking of this, we have to say that the old lady is very capable.
In fact, Madam Ge knew that the young lady had a strong character, a character that would rather break than bend, which no one else could compare to.
"That old lady..."
"Go to the farm and find the things. Give them to her when the time is right."
The old lady had murderous intentions and wanted to kill and dispose of the young lady.
…
When Jiang Zhiluo woke up, it was already dawn.
She thought of the scene in her dream and felt dazed.
So this is Cui Qingci's experience, and what Pei Mansion looks like?
That old lady is really vicious, but the lady is a good person.
But Jiang Zhiluo felt that with such an old lady in charge, the Pei Mansion could not be clean.
Could it be that the poison in Cui Qingci was put there by the old lady?
But the old lady clearly said that the higher-ups wanted Cui Qingci to die. Who were those higher-ups?
Is there someone who wants to kill the Cui family and doesn't want them to live?
Is it the emperor, or the powerful people around the emperor?
Just as Jiang Zhiluo was sitting there in a trance, Cui Hejin came into the room and saw that she had woken up. He asked, "What's wrong?"
Cui Hejin saw that she seemed to be worried.
Jiang Zhiluo turned her head slightly and met Cui Hejin's dark and sparkling eyes.
He was looking at her gently and attentively, with a look of worry in his eyes.
Jiang Zhiluo couldn't help but think of Cui Qingci. It turned out that Cui Qingci was so beautiful when she was not injured. It turned out that everyone in the Cui family was good-looking.
Jiang Zhiluo shook her head and said, "Nothing, how is my sister?"
Cui Hejin said: "Mother said it's okay, my second sister slept very soundly last night."
Jiang Zhiluo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The medicine she drank worked. She probably hasn't had a good night's sleep for a long time."
Originally, Jiang Zhiluo didn't have much feelings for Cui Qingci. At most, she thought she was familiar with Old Madam Cui, so she brought her back.
Knowing that she was Cui Hejin's sister, it was naturally because of Old Madam Cui and Cui Hejin that she wanted to cure and take good care of Cui Qingci.
But thinking of the scene in the dream, guessing what Cui Qingci might have experienced in the Pei family, and thinking of the poison in her body, Jiang Zhiluo couldn't help feeling a little distressed.
Jiang Zhiluo got off the bed and said, "I'll go over and take a look first."
As she spoke, Jiang Zhiluo went to Mrs. Cui's room first.
Old Madam Cui was standing by Cui Qingci's side, holding a wet wipe in her hand to wipe the marks on Cui Qingci's face.
She also helped change Cui Qingci's clothes last night.
Thinking of the scars on her daughter's body, Mrs. Cui's eyes were swollen from crying.
How could she not feel hatred in her heart? The Ci'er they protected in their hands had to suffer like this.
"Zhiluo!"
Whenever Mrs. Cui opened her mouth, her voice became hoarse.
She also felt a little unnatural in front of Jiang Zhiluo.
She quickly wiped the corners of her eyes.
Jiang Zhiluo didn't ask any more questions because she was afraid that Mrs. Cui would be embarrassed.
She took Cui Qingci's pulse, examined her body, and changed her medicine.
Then use wood-related abilities for acupuncture.
"Mom, don't worry. She's fine for now. After breakfast, I'll make some medicine for her."
"Okay, He Jin made breakfast and is heating it up in the pot. Let's eat together."
After breakfast, Cui Hejin was worried about his sister and wanted to go to school to ask for leave.
Jiang Zhiluo said, "Don't worry, my mother and I are at home, and my second sister will be fine."
Jiang Zhiluo said it was okay, so Cui Hejin felt relieved.
After breakfast, Jiang Zhiluo boiled some medicine for Cui Qingci to drink, while Old Madam Cui stayed by the bed to watch over her.
Jiang Zhiluo continued to busy herself with making soap.
Yesterday, the shell powder forged with wood ash water and mugwort water was mixed and left there.
It has been overnight, so add some wood ash water, also known as alkaline water, heat the lard and pour it in.
Then stir it, which is the saponification process.
Jiang Zhiluo continued to stir patiently.
As she stirred she thought about things.
From her previous medical treatments, including the money given by the Jian family and Wei Xingye, plus her previous earnings, after deducting expenses, she now has more than seventy taels of silver.
This amount of silver seems enough, but if Cui Qingci is added, it may not be enough.
Cui Qingci's injuries were very serious.
She also needs to go buy more medicinal herbs and collect precious herbs to nourish her body.
She must be taken good care of, using good medicinal herbs, and she will be completely cured in one or two years.
But all of this requires money.
Her small business of bread and chili con carne wasn't doing well at the moment.
What's more, no one knows if there is anyone else in the Cui family who needs her to save.
She owed Cui Hejin in her previous life, so in this life she must protect him and the people he cares about.
So the premise of all this is that she must be capable.
Thinking of what Mrs. Pei said, her expression became a little solemn.
While I was thinking about things, the contents of the basin had already been stirred into a paste.
Then Jiang Zhiluo scooped all the paste into bamboo tubes.
Because we made so many, we filled nine bamboo tubes at once.
