Chapter 753: Maybe that man won’t live for many more years!
Anjiang is a small place, and the prefect is the highest official in this small place.
Luo lived a smooth life in the small place of Anjiang, and was never disobeyed by anyone.
Even Xing Xing was very polite to her directly.
How could Luo tolerate this happening suddenly?
He immediately sneered: "What a big air!"
Pang Jinkang was startled and anxiously explained for Xingxing: "...Mother, Miss Feng is not the kind of person who puts on airs. She is also worried that she will pass on her illness to mother. Her fiancé is indeed ill..."
The more Pang Jinkang defended Xingxing, the angrier Mrs. Luo became!
The son had previously risked his life for a woman, and now he was standing on that woman's side, allowing that woman to be disrespectful to her!
"Kang'er!" Luo shouted, "You have to be clear-headed. She is a merchant's daughter, and the fact that she can marry into our house as a concubine is already a concession from mother for your sake. It is a blessing from her ancestors!... And yet she is actually picking on me?!"
Pang Jinkang nodded in agreement.
Luo suppressed her anger and said earnestly, "Besides, Kang'er, think about it, it is reasonable that my mother is the elder and the wife of an official. If she is asked to come, she should come quickly. Even if she is afraid of being sick, she should greet me outside. How can this be, I specially asked someone to invite her, but she ignored me? ... Don't speak for her, if I don't teach her a lesson, she will be even more arrogant when she marries into the mansion and becomes your concubine?"
Pang Jinkang became increasingly speechless.
Even though he saw with his own eyes how well Xingxing and her fiancé matched each other today, he still hadn't given up completely in his heart and still had a glimmer of hope that Xingxing would be his concubine.
He thought about it, and he could even promise Xingxing that as long as Xingxing nodded, he would immediately take Xingxing in, and would not let Xingxing drink contraceptive soup, and let Xingxing give birth to a illegitimate son before the main wife. This would be a guarantee he gave Xingxing.
He is willing to do this for Xingxing!
So when his mother was complaining, Pang Jinkang didn't explain too much for Xingxing - he was worried that if his mother didn't vent her anger, she would take the lead in opposing Xingxing's marriage.
Pang Jinkang lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "That's what mother said."
Seeing that his son stood on his side, Luo felt a little relieved.
She was willing to show some magnanimity and said, "Forget it. Miss Feng is a girl after all. If her fiancé is sick, I just brought a doctor here, so let the doctor check on her fiancé as well."
Pang Jinkang raised his head in surprise: "Mom!"
Mrs. Luo patted Pang Jinkang's arm and smiled meaningfully: "You don't understand? After all, they are engaged. Even if we want to make it happen, we can't be at a disadvantage in public... We are doing them a favor by asking the doctor to take a look, which means we are in an advantageous position."
There is one more thing Luo didn't say.
Knowing the physical condition of the other party's fiancé, it would be easy to tamper with the medicine.
However, if this is the case, there is naturally no need to tell my son.
Her son is a sincere person. If he knew all this, he would definitely feel guilty.
It's just a life. If it dies, it's dead.
But her son's mood cannot be affected by this.
…
Xing Xing took on the responsibility of taking care of her fiancé's health, and at this moment she was playing chess with Wei Shiyan in the house.
Yu Yonggui ran out again to check the situation and was not in the room.
The room was lit with lanterns, and the only sound was the sound of chess pieces falling. Xing Xing and Wei Shiyan were playing chess, and the fight was very intense.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
The maid who had just come to "invite" her to see Mrs. Luo came again. She was standing outside the door and whispered, "Miss Feng, I heard that your fiancé is ill and cannot go to see our prefect's wife. Our prefect's wife is kind-hearted and has specially asked the accompanying doctor to come and diagnose your fiancé's health."
Xing Xing and Wei Shiyan looked at each other.
Wei Shiyan pressed a few acupuncture points on himself and nodded slightly towards Xing Xing.
Xingxing then stood up and opened the door.
The maid outside the door was smiling and seemed polite, but in fact she did not allow any arguments. She leaned aside and stretched out her hand, asking the doctor to come into the house.
Xingxing simply didn't bother.
"Madam Magistrate, you are too polite." Xing Xing said lightly.
The doctor came into the room carrying his medicine box.
Wei Shiyan was sitting on a couch nearby. Under the candlelight, his face was slightly pale, and with the addition of the potion, he looked sickly.
The doctor took Wei Shiyan's pulse, frowned, and asked a few questions. Finally, he wrote a prescription: "...Take some nourishment first. Fortunately, I have all these herbs with me. I'll have the medicine boy bring them to you later."
Xingxing offered the medical fee, but the doctor waved his hand and said, "The prefect's wife has already paid it."
Xing Xing directly stuffed the silver into the doctor's hand and said, "What the wife of the prefect gave is her share. What I gave is my share. If the doctor doesn't accept it, we won't take this medicine."
"This……"
The doctor hesitated for a moment and subconsciously glanced at the maid who brought him here.
The maid nodded at him calmly.
The doctor then accepted it, took his medicine box and said goodbye.
The maid smiled and said to Xingxing: "Our prefect's wife misses Miss Feng very much. Please forgive me for saying so much..."
Xing Xing smiled softly, but she interrupted the maid without allowing any arguments: "Since you know you are talking too much, then there is no need to say more."
The maid wanted to say, our prefect’s wife is so good to you, even if you are afraid of passing your illness to our prefect’s wife, you should at least greet our prefect’s wife from a distance outside.
But Xingxing interrupted her so directly that she stood there in a daze, her face flushed, and she didn't know how to continue.
Xing Xing raised her eyebrows slightly: "Anything else?"
The maid could only leave with a blushing face.
But she didn't leave, she was waiting in the corner.
After the medicine boy handed the prepared medicine bag to Xingxing, Xingxing quickly went out with the medicine bag. Judging from the direction she was going, she should be going to the stove room to borrow a place to boil the medicine.
The maid returned and reported: "I saw with my own eyes that Miss Feng went to the stove room with the medicine bag."
Mrs. Luo raised her eyebrows. "In that case, I'll take a rest. It looks like the rain will continue to fall for a while. I think she'll be in the mood to come see me when her fiancé gets better."
Pang Jinkang seemed to be hesitant to speak.
The doctor came over just now and reported that Miss Feng's fiancé is in very poor health and needs to be taken care of with tonic medicine.
Pang Jinkang suddenly felt his back straighten up.
How could that man, whose health was so poor, allow Miss Feng to live a good life?
Who knows, that man won’t live for many more years!
