As Xue Hanshu said, Xue Panrou and Zhao Sanlang's marriage was aborted, but her life was not much better.
Light Green House.
Through the handkerchief, the doctor's hand was on Xue Hanshu's pulse.
Aunt Chun was anxious: "Doctor, it's been seven days and the pain is still severe. Does the doctor have any solution?"
The doctor stroked his beard, thought for a moment, and then smiled. "It's not serious. I'll prescribe a prescription right away. Miss, take it internally and apply it externally. The wound will scab over in three days."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Chun breathed a sigh of relief.
But when she saw the prescription, she looked hesitant again: "Doctor...can the Cordyceps and Ganoderma lucidum mentioned in this prescription be replaced with other herbs?"
It’s not for any other reason, it’s just that these two herbs are too expensive.
This doctor often visited wealthy families and knew that unfavored concubines had a hard life. He was not surprised and wrote a new prescription.
"This recipe can also relieve pain and inflammation, but it will take a little longer to heal. It's not difficult to heal the wound, but it will leave some scars."
Aunt Chun's eyes dimmed: "...Thank you very much, doctor."
Then he sent another message: "Youlan, send the doctor out."
After sending the outsiders away, Aunt Chun nodded and said, "Shu'er, mother asked someone to boil the medicine according to the prescription. Shu'er, drink the medicine obediently, and the pain will go away."
Unexpectedly, Xue Hanshu pulled back the bed curtains, her pale lips trembling as she said, "Didn't you hear what he said? This medicine will leave scars! I'm not even married yet, are you trying to ruin my life?"
After several days of suffering from illness, Xue Hanshu no longer had the time to pretend to be gentle and virtuous, and her true character was revealed in front of her mother.
Being yelled at by her own daughter, Concubine Chun had no temper. Embarrassed, she covered her face and burst into tears: "Concubine Rong is very powerful. Shu'er offended her. Even the daily food and clothing expenses of Qinglvzhai have been cut down layer by layer. We have almost used up all our money to pay for this. We can barely eat a hot meal. How can we spare money to buy Cordyceps and Ganoderma lucidum?"
Xue Hanshu was annoyed by the crying. She said coldly, "You just cry! If you weren't so incompetent, why would I have to endure this humiliation? If you were capable of giving birth to a son, I would be the one marrying into the Zhao family. Why would I make such a fuss?"
Aunt Chun cried even louder.
Xue Hanshu was silent for a moment: "Did Jiang Xuexuan deliver anything?"
Concubine Chun came to her senses, but shook her head sadly: "The Third Young Lady has lived a life of luxury and doesn't know the difficulties of daily life. All she sent were pearl hairpins and silks, but who would dare to accept the Third Young Lady's jewelry to bribe the servants? Otherwise... I'll go and ask the Third Young Lady for help?"
"Why should I beg her? I've figured out she's useless. I begged her so much, but she refused to help me. Why should I embarrass myself again now?" Xue Hanshu gritted her teeth and said, "Let's take the jewelry and exchange it for money first."
Aunt Chun hesitated: "But... that was given by the Third Miss. If she knew..."
"This is not okay, that is not okay, do you want me to die?"
Xue Hanshu's suppressed anger flared up again, and she couldn't help but feel furious. "I must heal my wounds as soon as possible and then see Zhao Sanlang. Otherwise, he'll forget me in the future, and all my suffering will be in vain! If I don't fight this time, how can I ever get a good marriage? My life will be ruined just like mine!"
So, Youlan sent the doctor away, and as soon as she came back, she was caught by Xue Hanshu and vented her anger on him. Then she was ordered to hide a few pearl hairpins on her body and tiptoe towards the gatehouse.
It's a pity that Aunt Rong hated Xue Hanshu so much that the servants of the Xue family, who followed Aunt Rong's lead, also consciously targeted Qingluzhai in every way.
Before Youlan could leave the house, she was stopped by the doorman.
The servant blocked her path with ill intentions: "Hey, isn't this Miss Youlan from Qinglvzhai? I heard that it was the Second Young Lady who beat you up like this?"
Youlan had been coerced into telling a lie, so she felt guilty. She stopped and dared not say a word.
The second servant nudged her and said, "I thought Miss Youlan was very capable. What's wrong? You are speechless now?"
Servant No. 1 tutted his tongue: "He is indeed from the same courtyard. He is a sleazy man who hides his head and shows his tail. He is not a good person."
Another person chimed in: "He's sneaking out like that, I'm afraid he's up to something bad!"
"I'm afraid the people in this room have dirty minds and dirty hands, am I right, Miss Youlan?"
Youlan's face flushed red. Looking at these two people with bad intentions, she bit her lower lip and said in shame and anger, "You are accusing me with empty words. Be careful or I will tell my wife!"
Unexpectedly, the two servants burst into laughter: "Madam is so busy with all sorts of things, how could she have the time to care about you, young lady? I'm afraid even your master is too lazy to pay attention to her!"
This is quite true. If Madam had been willing to lend a hand, Qingluzhai would not have been suppressed to this extent by Concubine Rong's room.
"Whether it's just empty talk or not, we'll know if we search it." The servant touched his chin and smiled evilly.
"How dare you!" Youlan's voice trembled.
"Why not?" Servant No. 1 was amused by Youlan's threat.
The second servant echoed, "As the guardians of the Xue family, we naturally have the responsibility to protect their wealth. You act suspiciously. What if you secretly hid something and sold it? Wouldn't that mean we've failed in our duty?"
Youlan was indeed hiding something that she wanted to pawn, so when she heard this, she couldn't help but shrink her body and avoid looking.
The two gatekeepers had long intended to humiliate Qingluzhai, and seeing that Youlan was a timid person, they became even more arrogant.
"Come on, Miss Youlan, don't stand here anymore. Let me search you. If your pockets are clean, I'll let you go. This way, we won't be delayed."
