Chapter 221 She is an illegitimate daughter

Ouyang Cong also explained: "I heard that it was a bug under the river mud, only found in deep water. Miss Mingzhu was unlucky. Her feet were entangled by water plants and she sank down, and was bitten by this black bug."

Zhuo Hongli thought that it was the poison in the river silt. He really didn't know. After all, he didn't want to touch such dirty things as silt.

The poisons he was most familiar with were those found in the rocks in the mountains and forests. That was enough for him to handle, so why would he go into the water to catch poisonous insects?

"Master Zhuo, Mingzhu is now in a coma. When she woke up, she felt so much pain all over her body that she had to faint again. Although Master Lan said he could prepare an antidote, it would take time. What can we do? We can't let her harm herself."

Fan Fengze used to look down on Zhuo Hongli, but seeing Fan Mingzhu's look, he became anxious. Thinking of his father's old face that looked as fierce as a tiger, he trembled inwardly.

No one knows his father's cruelty better than him.

The name Fan Dahu is really not an exaggeration at all.

"Is it so serious?" Zhuo Hongli was also shocked.

"She has broken her hand and said it hurts the bones and it's sore and painful. She wants to cut off her hand." Fan Fengze was really a little panicked.

Zhuo Hongli didn't expect this poison to be so powerful. When he saw the bloodstains on Fan Mingzhu's arm, he realized that this poison was not simple.

"Find Miss Mo! Her acupuncture can relieve pain. Before the antidote is prepared, we can ask her to help." Zhuo Hongli said after considering for a moment.

After all, he didn't want anything to happen to Fan Mingzhu, and he was thinking of finding time to make it a fait accompli between her and Zhuo Yu.

"Miss Mo?" Fan Fengze was stunned, then looked at Ouyang Cong and asked, "Is it the same person?"

Ouyang Cong nodded and said, "Yes, it's Miss Mo. Her medical and poison skills are not as good as Lan Yan's, but I heard that her acupuncture skills are indeed very powerful."

Zhuo Hongli also nodded immediately and said, "Yes, the pain relief is very powerful, almost immediate, this kind of acupuncture technique I have never seen before."

"Then, we have to invite her." Fan Fengze said immediately.

Ouyang Cong immediately showed an embarrassment and said: "Master Fan, Miss Mo is the eldest daughter of the general's mansion and the future princess of Lan. She is of noble status. She is not a doctor. Generally speaking, helping a friend once or twice is already very good..."

Ouyang Cong looked at Zhuo Hongli for help.

Zhuo Hongli also nodded and said, "Master Fan, if you want to invite Miss Mo, you may have to pay a price."

"What does she need?" Fan Fengze asked immediately.

"I can ask about this." Ouyang Cong thought for a moment and said, "Master Fan, if it is silver, how much can you give?"

"As long as she doesn't make my sister suffer so much, she can name any price." Fan Fengze doesn't care about money at all, he has plenty of fathers.

"It will probably take several days. Miss Mo is not an ordinary person. One hundred thousand taels of silver should be enough for the medical fee." Zhuo Hongli said after thinking about it.

But thinking about the time when he took away twenty or thirty thousand worth of medicinal materials from the pharmacy for Mr. Zhang, he was not sure if it was enough.

Ouyang Cong shook his head and said, "I had a conflict with Miss Mo in Haiguanlou and paid her 500,000 taels in compensation."

Fan Fengze and Zhuo Hongli: “……!”

This is fucking money grabbing.

"I think it will take several attempts to get Miss Mo to pay one million taels. You all know that she is short of money because she is treating Jun Huolan. She even went to the Emperor to ask for money. She has emptied the General's Mansion."

"She likes Jun Huolan so much?" Fan Fengze was shocked, "He's just a useless prince."

"Ahem, Master Fan, you don't know Miss Mo's situation. This is the second time she has been betrothed. If she breaks off the engagement again, how can a girl live with dignity? If she doesn't want to be a widow, she can only help Prince Lan treat his illness. Fortunately, after spending so much money, the effect is good. Prince Lan is in much better health now and can even work in the Ministry of Personnel."

Fan Fengze's eyebrows twitched uncontrollably as he asked, "You said Prince Lan is in good health? Wasn't he poisoned?"

"After returning from Chen State, I hired the best doctor. Later, Miss Mo and Lan Yan joined me. The poison seems to have been cured. However, my feet are still a little disabled and I walk a little lame."

Zhuo Hongli nodded and said, "I have met Prince Lan, and he indeed looks like a normal person. Moreover, his face is so handsome that it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the most handsome man in the world. It seems that Miss Mo is reluctant to let him go."

Ouyang Cong laughed and said, "Prince Lan's face would confuse men, not to mention women."

Fan Fengze sneered and said, "With a face like this, do you think he can still be clean after being in Chen State for ten years?"

Ouyang Cong's face changed, Zhuo Hongli looked at Fan Fengze and immediately said: "Master Fan, this is Qingyun, so be careful with your words. In Qingyun, Lan Wang is a hero, and the people love him very much."

Fan Fengze's expression changed slightly, and he felt that he had said something a bit too much.

Ouyang Cong felt a little uncomfortable. Could it be that Prince Lan encountered such a thing in Chen State?

The Chen people are truly beasts.

"Brother Ouyang, you go and invite her. One million is one million. My father can't bear to see Mingzhu suffer." Fan Fengze said after rubbing his brows.

"Okay, I'll go now. Miss Fan, it's not good to keep going like this. You need to eat something." Ouyang Cong sighed and left quickly.

There were other people in the room. Fan Fengze and Zhuo Hongli came to the pavilion in the yard. The more empty it was, the more private it was.

"I never thought that Mingzhu would have such a thing!" Fan Fengze was very depressed when he sat down, "Master Zhuo, what's going on with Zhuo Yu? Although Mingzhu said she didn't want to marry him, I believe you and my father must have already discussed it."

Zhuo Hongli nodded and said, "Master Fan, don't worry, there is no problem with Zhuo Yu. It's just that Miss Mingzhu is in this state now, so some plans cannot be implemented."

"What plan?" Fan Fengze frowned.

Zhuo Hongli looked at him deeply and said, "Your father and I both want to make this happen. Even though they don't like each other now, if they become husband and wife, they might get used to it."

"Do you want them to make it a done deal?" Fan Fengze's expression was calm when he said this.

I thought that my father didn’t really care about Mingzhu that much, otherwise, if Mingzhu didn’t like it, would he still force her to pair up with Zhuoyu?

Thinking of this, Fan Fengze seemed to feel better.

Zhuo Hongli nodded, then sighed and said, "But as it is now, this plan cannot be implemented."

"Detoxification is important. We must not let anything happen to Miss Fan." Zhuo Hongli said immediately.

Fan Fengze was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Zhuo Hongli's old face and said in a low voice: "Uncle Zhuo, do you know Mingzhu's life experience?"

He no longer called him Grandpa Zhuo, but Uncle Zhuo instead.

Zhuo Hongli was stunned, his old face slightly distorted. He thought Fan Fengze didn't know, but he didn't expect that this boy knew. He probably just didn't know who Fan Mingzhu's mother was.

"Uncle Zhuo, I know Mingzhu is my sister, but who is her biological mother? My father didn't tell me, but my father dotes on Mingzhu so much and wants to become your in-law. So Mingzhu's mother must not be an ordinary person, right?"
