Chapter 49: The Aunt Returning to Beijing



In Linyuan Garden, in a secret corner.

Hua Yuanzhao was half-kneeling on the ground, busying himself with a small shovel in his hand. After a while, sweat appeared on his forehead.

Fuling, who was helping to mix the mud, hesitated to speak. After thinking for a long time, he asked weakly, "Miss, what are you going to plant? Why dig such a big hole?"

This pit is almost as big as her face!

"Dekta stove," Hua Yuanzhao said without raising his head.

After she finished speaking, she realized that Fuling didn't understand and was looking at her blankly with a pursed mouth.

Hua Yuanzhao rubbed his nose and explained, "It's a simple smokeless stove."

As she spoke, she gestured on the ground with a small shovel: "Dig two holes of similar size, ten centimeters apart... that's about three inches."

"After digging, we open up the middle so that when the firewood burns on one side, air can be introduced from the other side," Hua Yuanzhao said. "The flame will be stronger when it burns."

Fuling seemed to understand, but she only asked her: "Miss, what do you want the mud for?"

Hua Yuanzhao's men kept going, and he continued, "We'll use this stove for a while. For convenience, we'll build a stove with mud."

As she spoke, she glanced at the mud under Fuling's hand again.

Although this thing is a smokeless stove, the smoke from the stove cannot be dissipated, which is definitely choking.

When we build the stove later, we also need to connect a simple chimney.

This time Fuling understood. She looked at Hua Yuanzhao in confusion and asked in a low voice: "But Miss... why do we need to build a stove?"

The kitchen has never been short of food for Linyuan Garden! They always give them whatever they want!

Hua Yuanzhao took a breath and then gestured: "Put the big soup pot on the stove, and you can cook vegetables or stew porridge."

"Just take down the soup bowl and you can start the barbecue. It's also more convenient to hide it when not in use. If it rains, just cover yourself with a straw raincoat." Hua Yuanzhao was tired again and simply sat on the ground to catch his breath.

Her body has become as fat as a pile of flesh. She starts to gasp for air after the slightest movement. If she continues like this, she will surely die of obesity!

Just now, she took penicillin and other medicines, and her physical condition had improved a little, so she immediately put the weight-loss plan on the agenda.

She tinkered with Fuling for a while, and by the time they finished building the stove, their bodies were covered in mud.

The servant who came to deliver the message stared at the dishevelled Hua Yuanzhao for a long time before he could barely determine his mental state.

"Miss, the master invites you to Zezhi Cottage."

"I understand." Hua Yuanzhao replied casually, "I'll change my clothes and go."

Fuling helped her back to the inner room to change clothes, and asked worriedly, "Miss, why did the master suddenly invite you to Zezhi Cottage?"

Hua Yuanzhao saw her bitter face and comforted her: "It's okay, maybe Hua Yuanshan did something stupid again, let's wait and see."

After a slight pause, he added: "You should also clean yourself up."

Fuling sighed and then left.

The master and servant slowly cleaned up the dust and tidied up everything before going to Zezhi Cottage.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Hua Yuanshan leaning in Aunt Su's arms wiping her tears.

Prime Minister Hua, who was standing next to him, had a sullen look on his face, and when he saw Hua Yuanzhao coming in, he snorted in annoyance.

"Sister, you have such a vicious heart!" Hua Yuanshan glanced at Prime Minister Hua and suddenly burst into tears.

"If Zhao'er really doesn't want to save his sister, just say it directly! Why bother teasing us mother and daughter in this way!" Aunt Su chimed in and started crying as well.

Prime Minister Hua was troubled by the crying of these two women. He slammed the table and angrily scolded: "Evil girl! What are you doing again!"

"No matter how much you dislike your sister, you are still blood relatives!" Prime Minister Hua scolded, "You watched her die without helping her! How can you be a sister at all!"

"Did she ever consider blood ties when she repeatedly framed me and pushed me to death?" Hua Yuanzhao asked back coldly. She straightened her back and looked at everyone in the room. Her black pupils were as cold as black iron.

"Father, the first thing I learned when I studied medicine was medical ethics! I may not save her, but I will never do something like agreeing to save someone but then secretly doing something to harm her!" Hua Yuanzhao said solemnly.

She glanced at the mess in the room again, and then asked, "Why did my father call me here?"

"You didn't hurt anyone?" Hua Yuanshan yelled angrily, "Then try eating one of these white lilacs!"

Hua Yuanzhao frowned and looked over. After seeing what was in the bowl, he asked suspiciously, "This medicine... you didn't take it directly, did you?"

"What do you mean?" Hua Yuanshan asked vigilantly.

Hua Yuanzhao shook his head and looked at her helplessly: "After collecting the sparrow droppings, we must first remove the soil, sieve out the impurities, and then dry them in the sun. Only then can they become medicinal white lilac."

"White cloves need to be crushed and ground into granules before use. Take one ounce each time and mix it with warm wine before taking it." Hua Yuanzhao said, frowning in disgust: "Drinking it directly will not achieve the effect of curing the disease."

"You fat pig! You bitch! You're playing tricks on me!" Hua Yuanshan's eyes suddenly widened, and she was so angry that she cursed in front of Prime Minister Hua.

Aunt Su pinched her secretly and accused her, "Zhao'er, why didn't you say it before? Did you have to see your sister make a fool of herself?"

Hua Yuanzhao said slowly: "Every time my second sister sees me, she either insults me or calls for killing me! She is a patient now, so of course I dare not say anything!"

She paused and added, "This is just common sense. Since Auntie doesn't know, why don't you send someone to ask?"

"You!" Hua Yuanshan was so angry that she slammed the bed board: "It's obviously you——"

"Enough!" Prime Minister Hua slammed the table heavily, stopping the farce.

He glared at Hua Yuanshan with disgust, then suppressed his anger and asked Hua Yuanzhao: "After taking this medicine, Shan'er's face will be fine, right?"

Hua Yuanzhao said calmly: "The medicine is fine, but if she continues to suffer like this, even gods can't save her!"

"Then she should stay in the room and go out when she feels better!" Prime Minister Hua said impatiently.

He knew what Hua Yuanshan had done during this period. She wanted to harm people but had no brains. She would jump up and down all day long and make him lose face!

"Daddy..." Hua Yuanshan cried, "It's obviously her..."

Before she could finish her words, Prime Minister Hua stood up and walked out, not even bothering to give her a glance.

Hua Yuanzhao curled the corners of his mouth quietly and followed him away.

Hua Yuanshan was left alone, and was so angry at the two of them that she couldn't speak and kicked her legs in anxiety.

"Mom! Are we just going to watch her being so arrogant here?"

"Why are you still so impatient?" Aunt Su sighed. Seeing her angry look, she hurriedly pulled her hand to comfort her: "Don't worry, she will only be arrogant for a few days."

"The news of Yunlan's death has spread to Pinglu. I think the letter will arrive in two days." Aunt Su said.

"So what?" Hua Yuanshan was dissatisfied: "Hua Yuanzhao is not the murderer, will the Han family still embarrass her?"

Aunt Su smiled smugly: "Mother specially wrote a letter to your aunt... Your aunt loves this daughter the most. If she knew that her daughter was deflowered by someone before her death, and then her body was dissected in public after her death..."

"Then my aunt will definitely come to the capital in person!" Hua Yuanshan's eyes lit up.

"You know what kind of person your aunt is. She will definitely not let that bitch go!"
