Hua Yuanzhao quickly stretched out his hand to stop her. It was certainly possible to let Xu Wanqing bow to him, but today was the latter's big day after all. Why should she suffer this injustice?
Prime Minister Hua frowned and grabbed Xu Wanqing's wrist, stopping her from saluting.
"You are the elder, why do you have to bow to the younger generation?" Prime Minister Hua glared at Hua Yuanzhao with a dark face. The more he looked at her, the more he disliked her.
Hua Yuanzhao responded quickly, pulled out the purse that Old Madam Hua had given her yesterday from her sleeve and opened it.
"This pair of bracelets was originally a family heirloom given by my grandmother to my mother and father when they got married." Hua Yuanzhao lied with his eyes open and handed the bracelets to Old Madam Hua with both hands.
"My mother told me to keep it well before she died, and I have kept it close to me ever since."
Hua Yuanzhao said, "Miss Xu, you are so thoughtful. Can you please pay respect to the bracelet? Just think of it as a tablet for my mother?"
The bracelet was held in the hands of Old Madam Hua, and even when Xu Wanqing bowed to the bracelet, it was Old Madam Hua who received it from behind.
Considering Madam Hua's status, it was only natural for her to accept this gift, and it would not make Xu Wanqing feel embarrassed.
Hua Yuanzhao also said that the bracelet was given by Old Madam Hua as a wedding gift, which meant that Old Madam Hua recognized the original mother as her daughter-in-law.
Old Madam Hua glanced at Hua Yuanzhao with dissatisfaction, but since it was her son's wedding day after all, she suppressed the urge to curse and did not say anything to ruin the event.
Xu Wanqing thanked her in her heart and immediately bowed to Madam Hua.
Hua Yuanzhao stood beside Old Madam Hua, watching her being sent away after the ceremony, feeling deeply saddened.
An eighteen-year-old bride and an eighty-year-old groom, an old pig only takes good cabbages.
The wedding banquet was held in a conventional and quiet manner, and the party basically ended at night.
When Hua Yuanzhao returned to Linyuan Garden, he still felt a sense of unreality and trance.
"Miss Xu is such a good person, why did she marry the master?" Fuling sighed sadly.
Hua Yuanzhao nodded in agreement and said casually, "Everyone has their own difficulties. If she has any difficulties in the future, we will help her if we can."
These days, it has become much more convenient to go in and out of the Third Prince's Mansion. She took the opportunity to find someone to tidy up the clinic.
After washing up, Hua Yuanzhao sat at the table, writing down the prescription in his mind.
According to the current situation, she certainly cannot see patients in the clinic every day. It would be better for her to open the clinic like the pharmacy in her previous life.
On the one hand, according to common symptoms, prepare a large amount of cheap over-the-counter medicines, and then hire a doctor of moderate standard to sit in the clinic and prescribe the medicines.
Just think of it as charity, so that her life will not be in vain.
On the other hand, she was the one who treated patients, but the consultation fee was set at ten taels of silver, which was considered the main source of income.
When the clinic opens, if she has time, she will go for the free consultation. If not, it won't delay anything.
She was writing intently, but suddenly she heard a rustling sound in her ears.
Hua Yuanzhao said without even looking up: "I have rat poison here. Can I give you two doses?"
The mouse gritted his teeth and pinched his throat to ask: "Ah~ Where did this little girl come from? She has a beautiful appearance but a vicious heart?"
Hua Yuanzhao's fingers gripping the pen tightened and his fist hardened.
Without waiting for her to make a move, Rong Xiu presented her treasure by holding up a gardenia that he had picked from somewhere.
"promise."
He half leaned against Hua Yuanzhao's desk, waving the flowers in front of her eyes.
Hua Yuanzhao looked disgusted and asked, "Why are you giving me flowers?"
You know what, this gardenia is quite fragrant.
"You said that when a woman is unhappy, she will become happy when she sees something beautiful." After a slight pause, he said, "For example, flowers."
"I wouldn't say such cheesy words." Hua Yuanzhao curled his lips, but a picture flashed through his mind.
It seemed to be a night like this when everything was quiet. The original body picked a bunch of beautiful wild flowers and said to the people around him without looking up: "Girls are easy to please! When she is unhappy, just take her to see something beautiful!"
Hua Yuanzhao was silent for a moment. It turned out that it was the original body who said such words...
But if my memory serves me correctly, this should have been what the original person said to Fuling?
"Let's go, I'll take you out to play." Rong Xiu waved the flower: "My young master will treat you!"
Hua Yuanzhao said with a smile: "It's my father who is getting married, not my sweetheart, why should I be unhappy?"
"Hey, don't be so stubborn!" Rong Xiu refused to give in and pouted, "The woman said she wasn't unhappy, but she is unhappy! You said that too!"
Hua Yuanzhao couldn't help but kick him: "I didn't remember saying that! Hurry up and leave! You broke into my room in the middle of the night, and I haven't settled the score with you yet!"
You are not learning your lesson day by day, and just learn to act like a flower thief and act like a hooligan!
Rong Xiu raised his eyebrows and came over shamelessly: "If you hadn't said it, I wouldn't have noticed it..."
As he leaned over, the hand holding the flower slid across her temple, and the half-opened gardenia quietly fell on Hua Yuan Zhao's hair.
Hua Yuanzhao was so startled by this sudden action that he jumped up, and the stool under him was pulled backwards and hit the ground with a loud bang.
“Puff~”
Rong Xiu couldn't help laughing when seeing this. How could she be so funny? She was just like a frightened little rabbit.
Yes! It’s a little rabbit! The kind that eats grass with its cheeks puffed up!
"Miss? What's wrong with you?" The maid's voice came from outside.
"It's okay!" Hua Yuanzhao quickly raised his voice and replied.
"Miss, I am a maid in the main courtyard. The master wants to see you." The maid continued: "Miss, can I come in?"
Hua Yuanzhao was startled and subconsciously looked around, trying to find a place for Rongxiu to hide.
Rong Xiu smiled and asked with interest, "Why are you so panicked? Do you think the way we are acting is a bitch?"
Hua Yuanzhao couldn't help but kicked him hard: "If you keep behaving like a hooligan, I'll castrate you!"
As she was speaking, the maid outside had already reached out and pushed the door, and the door made a slight click.
The maid was completely confused and patted the stuck door and shouted, "Miss, please open the door!"
Hua Yuanzhao's heart was stuck in his throat, and it fell back into his stomach when he realized the door was locked.
Rong Xiu next to her patted his chest and winked at her, meaning: I will do the job, don't worry!
Hua Yuanzhao took a deep breath and reminded himself again and again not to bother with a fool. He finally suppressed the anger in his heart.
"If you don't know how to hide, just stand here!" Hua Yuanzhao was furious: "I will shout molest and have someone beat you to death!"
Rong Xiu crossed his arms and acted like "I'm so scared", which made Hua Yuanzhao so amused that he couldn't help but kick him again.
Hua Yuanzhao did what he said and went forward to open the door.
The maid at the door held a lantern and looked into the room curiously, but the room was empty and there was nothing unusual except the fallen stool.
"What's the matter?" Hua Yuanzhao asked with a dull face.
The maid quickly came back to her senses: "Miss, Madam Xu's heart aches badly, Master asks you to go over and take a look."
