The ground then turned red.
Dr. Liu, who was eating hotpot in the shop, immediately came over, placed his hand on Gu Li's wrist, and shook his head slightly.
Hearing the commotion, Magistrate Hu walked over and saw Gu Li on the ground; his expression changed.
His chubby face twitched, and the previously excited, round-faced magistrate tensed up.
"What, what's going on?" His throat was dry and itchy, and his voice trembled.
The grandson I've been waiting for so long has finally appeared, but he just disappeared again after a fleeting moment in front of me, right?
"Father, please don't blame Madam Su. It was my carelessness; I lost my balance. Madam Su didn't push me. Please don't blame her." Gu Li forced herself to finish speaking, then closed her eyes and lay down on the ground.
Magistrate Hu looked at Su Jiaoniang.
Take another look at Gu Li on the ground.
His flesh trembled, and his pale face turned red: "Madam Su, I have matters to attend to at home, so I must take my leave."
He didn't dare to completely break ties with Su Jiaoniang. Zhao Han's continued presence by Su Jiaoniang's side proved that after leaving that other man, he truly cared about this woman.
If he were to seek revenge and take it out on others, and showed even the slightest sign of it, he might not just lose a grandson, but his entire family.
"Wait a minute." Doctor Liu reached out and wiped Gu Li's lips with rouge, which carried a faint scent of safflower.
He looked at Magistrate Hu and said, "You... she may have mistakenly taken safflower. You can find a doctor to re-examine her. Also, Su girl wouldn't push someone. If she gave her a light push, this weak person... might fly away."
After speaking, Doctor Liu stood up, making room for the yamen runners following behind Magistrate Hu.
The bailiffs picked up the man, their bodies slightly stiff, and looked at Magistrate Hu.
Magistrate Hu's expression was uncertain. If it really was caused by safflower, he glanced at Su Jiaoniang and said, "This humble official will investigate."
Su Jiaoniang smiled. She was still a little uncomfortable with a dignified county magistrate referring to himself as "your subordinate" in front of her.
She held no official position.
Magistrate Hu hurriedly turned around and left with his men.
Dr. Liu walked over to Su Jiaoniang and winked: "Some people love children and have high expectations for them, while others..."
"Go eat your hotpot." Su Jiaoniang pushed Doctor Liu into a booth.
Madam Wu patted her heart, still reeling from the shock. She had just witnessed Gu Li fall to the ground on her own, without Su Niangzi even touching her.
It's so cruel to lose such a healthy child like this.
The rules of wealthy families are too terrible; she's too old to bear them.
It's better to run your own small business and live a good life with your husband. You have the necessities of life, love and support, and a few children. It may be hard and tiring, but isn't that what life is all about?
“Sister Su, I saw it just now. She fell down on her own. It has nothing to do with you.” After thinking for a moment, Madam Wu leaned closer to Su Jiaoniang again and said this.
Su Jiaoniang's gaze fell on Wu Shi. She hadn't expected that this big mouth would say something so comforting: "What do you want to eat? It's all free for you today."
"Free?" Mrs. Wu smiled and walked towards one of the few empty tables in the corner.
It's free to eat, so why not eat more?
What does Magistrate Gu Lihu have to do with her?
Nothing beats what you eat.
"Madam Su, your business is booming. If it weren't for the fact that we still have a lot of cooperation, I would have used some underhanded tricks to deal with you. You'd better be careful in the future." Lucheng is not big, and its original resources have been almost divided up.
This thing called hot pot has a unique flavor, and there are various soup bases such as spicy, numbing, clear broth, pork tripe, etc.
Then look at the condiment station, there are free seasonings on it. Aren't you worried that someone might take advantage and take the minced garlic, sesame paste, cilantro, etc. home? How magnanimous and broad-minded must one be to do such a thing?
Even as a man, he couldn't do that.
His gaze fell on Su Jiaoniang, and he felt a pang of regret, regretting that he hadn't insisted back then.
If I could marry her, life would surely be full of flavor and fun. Age and social status would be worthless in comparison to her magnanimous soul.
Fortunately, it's not too late.
Fu Chuntang adjusted his clothes and looked at Su Jiaoniang: "If you need any assistance, just look for me."
"Alright, then thank you in advance, young master Fu." Su Jiaoniang smiled, unable to refuse the young man's undisguised goodwill.
Fu Tu sat down next to Doctor Liu and sighed softly when he saw Fu Chuntang's actions.
“That person must have designs on Mother!” Fu Tu said to the little girl.
Xiao Ya turned to look at Fu Chuntang, a handsome young man, a beautiful woman in a turbulent world: "Great! Xiao Ya wants a younger brother or sister."
Futu reached out and pinched the two little tufts of hair on the girl's head.
Only he knew that his biological father was still alive.
What if Mom falls in love with someone else during this time?
My father went to war and was captured by the enemy and imprisoned in a dark prison for five or six years. How can someone who has been tortured for so long still make it?
He knew of a method of punishment called waterboarding.
However, if you stay in the water for too long, you will become a eunuch.
That part of the function is gone. This is the conclusion he came to by combining his memories from his previous life with the medical skills he learned in this life.
If that's really the case, does that mean his beautiful, kind, and uniquely good mother has to live a life of widowhood?
Futu's eyes became sharp.
This is too painful.
In his dream, he was a eunuch in the palace, and he witnessed many women's loneliness and the problems that arose from it.
They might be a fake couple, or they might seduce eunuchs, or even have affairs with guards.
