Shen Qiyin was shocked: "What?! You can't have children?"
As soon as they finished speaking, a large group of maids and old women around them turned to look at them.
Of course, the main focus is on Su Mengdie.
Huo Xiaoyue went even further, as if afraid that others hadn't heard her clearly, and asked with concern, "Sister-in-law, you can't have children?! How could this be? Which imperial physician made the diagnosis?"
Su Mengdie angrily explained, "I didn't! I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!"
Startled by her sudden shout, Huo Xiaoyue stammered, "Sister-in-law, don't be angry, I didn't say that..."
Su Mengdie turned and glared at Shen Qiyin.
The shock on his face had been replaced by calm. He looked at her with a smile and said, "Everyone gets sick sometimes. I'm a doctor, I've seen it all. Madam, you don't need to feel embarrassed."
"You're lying!" Su Mengdie accused sharply, "I never told you I couldn't have children."
"But what I heard you chirping in my ear was this," Shen Qiyin said innocently. "What else could it be?"
Su Mengdie was speechless for a moment.
After a moment of silence, she forced herself to explain, "Your Excellency misunderstood. I was asking if you like children?"
“Oh…” Shen Qiyin pretended to realize something: “So that’s what you were talking about. I thought you couldn’t have children and wanted me to help you get treatment so that people wouldn’t gossip about you.”
She actually repeated what she had just said.
Su Mengdie's forced smile froze.
But Shen Qiyin continued, "As for the young mistress asking me earlier whether I like children, I can't give a definite answer. Actually, whether it's a child or an adult, as long as they're not stupid or bad, they shouldn't be too annoying."
"But if it's someone who's stupid, restless, and can't say anything nice, then naturally everyone will dislike them, right, young mistress?"
Su Mengdie's temple twitched: "...Xiangjun, you have such a sharp tongue. No wonder I feel that Wanqing's tongue has become much more fluent lately. I guess she has been influenced by her surroundings."
"Young Madam, you flatter me. It's Qing'er who's clever and quick to understand." Shen Qiyin stared intently at Su Mengdie and said meaningfully, "Unlike some people, I can demonstrate to them face-to-face how to scold, and they still can't keep up. Isn't that ridiculous?"
At this point, Su Mengdie's outward politeness could no longer be maintained.
With a stern face, she said, "I have important matters to attend to at home, so I won't see you off, Lady Xiang," and then left with her entourage.
Shen Qiyin watched her angry back and smiled faintly.
Xianglan couldn't stop laughing: "Hahaha... I got sprayed so badly, hahaha..."
"But speaking of which, Miss, what exactly did she whisper in your ear just now?"
Shen Qiyin pulled her cloak tighter and walked towards Huo Wanqing's courtyard, answering Xianglan's question in her distraction: "She thinks that my leg numbness just now was faked, and that I wanted to throw myself into Huo Chenzhou's arms. She asked me if that's how I seduced Xiao Yan in the first place."
"Is she crazy?!"
"Is there even a question? Obviously." Shen Qiyin grabbed a handful of snow from the nearby hedge, rolled it into a ball, and played with it in her hand: "Hey, what was that word you told me you often used to curse people in your hometown?"
"Two arms."
"Yes, I think it is her."
"Ah..." Xianglan looked miserable. "If we had known, we wouldn't have agreed to come and treat General Huo. We would have avoided running into this two-armed young mistress."
Shen Qiyin disagreed: "Let her be, we'll make our own money."
"It's unacceptable to stop earning money just because of an idiot."
Miss Shen slightly raised her chin, looked up at the sky, and said to Xianglan earnestly, "Life is so long, and the world is so big. We are bound to encounter a few two-armed people. Are we going to give up our own lives just to avoid them?"
"She makes a move, I respond, let's play."
Anyway, she's got nothing to lose, so she'll just go for it!
After leaving the general's mansion, she made a detour to the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion.
The poison in Wei Heng's body has been completely removed, and there is no need to continue acupuncture. However, his body has been tormented by poison for so many years. Although he has been carefully treated, he is still weaker than ordinary people. Therefore, he continues to take various tonics.
Previously, Wei Zhao lived in the Marquis's residence, and with him keeping an eye on things, Shen Qiyin didn't need to make a special trip over.
But these past few days, he's been "in seclusion" practicing poison and has been staying at the clinic. She was worried that he might have overlooked something, so she thought she should go and check on him to put her mind at ease.
In no mood--
When she arrived, Wei Zhao was also there.
Originally, ever since he was recognized by Madam Wei and brought back to the Marquis's residence, he would stay here for two days and at the clinic for two days.
But he hasn't come back for the past few days. Old Madam Wei misses her grandson, so she sent someone to the clinic to pick him up early this morning.
Hearing that Shen Qiyin had arrived, they quickly summoned her as well.
Several people were sitting inside the house talking.
Jiang Jiyao suddenly picked up a plate of fruit and handed it to Wei Zhao, saying affectionately, "Ah Zhao, I heard from your aunt that you love plum blossom sugar cake the most. I made it especially for you. Try it."
Wei Zhao shifted slightly to the side: "I just had some tea, I'll eat later."
"Oh, just try one."
As Jiang Jiyao spoke, he simply picked up a plum blossom-shaped sugar cake and was about to feed it to Wei Zhao.
The latter seemed startled. He stood up abruptly, accidentally knocking not only the piece out of her hand, but also the entire plate of pastries onto the floor.
Jiang Jiyao immediately flew into a rage: "What are you doing?!"
