"How can anyone be so extravagant? He simply doesn't treat money as money."
Chen Wei pushed Xiaoman's hand away and smiled.
The young ladies and gentlemen from official families are certainly not stupid. On the contrary, they are very smart.
But what if cake is related to something?
Just like diamonds in later generations, they have no value in themselves. It is because someone has endowed them with true love that diamonds given to each other by lovers will last a lifetime, so they have value.
Likewise,
Chen Wei will also add a layer of value to the cake at the right time and in the right way.
She believed that once this gimmick became popular, the cake would become all the rage in Beijing!
"Madam Hou's birthday party is this month, right?" Chen Wei asked casually.
"It's the end of this month, young lady. The old lady is very dissatisfied with you. She has argued with the Marquis several times because of you. Now she has moved to the Buddhist temple to meditate. You must not make her angry again."
"Is this something Miss Qin is handling?"
"Of course it was done by my wife."
"Okay, I'll go look for her then. By the way, why haven't I seen her in the last few days..." Chen Wei hadn't finished asking the question yet.
There was a knock on the door.
Aunt Zhao's personal maid ran over with a pale face and knocked hard on the door: "Bang bang bang!"
"Miss Shen? Miss Shen........"
What are you in such a hurry for?
Chen Wei opened the door, but before he could ask what was going on.
Next second.
The maid said something that made Shen Wei stunned on the spot: "Miss Shen, it's bad, my aunt committed suicide by cutting her wrists, she lost a lot of blood, what should I do?"
"Madam was punished by the Marquis's wife to copy Buddhist scriptures in the Buddhist temple. She said that the rules she learned at her mother's house were not up to standard, and she violated the ancestral teachings of the Marquisate. She almost gave up the Marquisate's child for a concubine."
"Without Madam's order, I cannot leave the house, let alone seek medical advice."
"Girl... please, save my aunt again."
The moment I heard these words.
Chen Wei’s first thought was why did he take the time to look for him?
Why did you just shout for a doctor to save the person?
But on second thought, she understood.
Aunt Zhao was originally just a lowly concubine in the Marquis's Mansion. She had lost her ability to conceive and was not liked by Xie Yuchuan. She had become a useless person with no value at all.
suicide........
Suicide is such a shameful thing for a noble family! !
There had already been such an unlucky thing as a stillbirth, and if there was another scandal such as suicide, and it became known to everyone in the Marquis's Mansion, Aunt Zhao would probably not be able to survive in this mansion.
You must die even if you don’t die!
Old Madam Hou would not tolerate a concubine like Aunt Zhao who brought disgrace upon the family!
"Xiao Man, go get Doctor Xu right away and tell him I'm not feeling well. You're my personal maid, and even without Qin Shuyu's order, the guards wouldn't dare stop you."
"Okay, okay, girl, I'll go now." Xiaoman ran out in a panic.
Chen Wei immediately followed the maid to the side courtyard.
As soon as you enter the door.
She smelled a strong smell of blood.
Aunt Zhao's face was frighteningly pale, and she lay on the bed with a weak breath, like a piece of glass that would shatter at the slightest touch. Chen Wei's brows were throbbing at the sight of her.
Aunt Zhao's body was exhausted from childbirth, and now she committed suicide by cutting her wrists and losing so much blood.
If the personal maid had not discovered it in time and quickly used gauze to stop the bleeding on Aunt Zhao's wrist, she would probably have bled to death.
"Aunt Zhao?"
"Aunt Zhao?"
Chen Wei checked Aunt Zhao's breath, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, she's still breathing."
"Where's the ginseng slice? Give it to me quickly."
Chen Wei doesn't know much about medicine, he only knows some general knowledge.
The book says that when you fall into a coma due to excessive bleeding, you can use ginseng slices to maintain your vitality. I don’t know if this was written in the book at the time, but now that the situation has become like this, I can only give it a try.
Fortunately, it didn't last long.
Xiaoman invited Doctor Xu over.
When the guard heard that Chen Wei was sick, he didn't dare to ask a single question and quickly asked Xiaoman to bring the person in.
After all, she was the Marquis's cherished jewel, fearing she would drop it. Even something as treasonous as leaving the palace to go to the martial arts gym every day was allowed by the Marquis. So, what other things that went against the rules wouldn't he allow?!
"It's not a good situation."
After taking her pulse, Doctor Xu looked at Chen Wei with a serious and complicated expression: "She was already pregnant at a late stage, and now she's committing suicide by cutting her wrists. This is too harmful to her health."
Click.
Chen Wei's heart skipped a beat.
"That's not the most important thing. The most serious thing is that she's so depressed and worried that even if I rescue her, there's no guarantee she won't commit suicide next time."
"well........"
"You women are so convoluted that it's hard to understand you."
Chen Wei understood.
This is probably postpartum depression.
It's not called postpartum, and the child is stillborn. This is probably more serious than the postpartum depression I understand.
In this huge marquisate, Aunt Zhao is just a concubine with no family background, no talent, and no beauty. She is not favored by Xie Yuchuan and has no feelings for him.
Her only value to the Marquis's Mansion is to give birth to children and raise them for their support.
Now,
The child is gone.
Moreover, it was Aunt Zhao who indirectly killed the child. She must have felt extremely guilty and painful. In this depressing and desperate environment, she had no choice but to commit suicide.
"I understand." Chen Wei frowned.
He said to Doctor Xu, "Please prescribe some medicine for Aunt Zhao to help her recover physically. As for her mental illness, we will pay attention to her and counsel her."
"And last time I had a miscarriage, thank you for that."
Chen Wei took out a handful of silver melon seeds from his waist and stuffed them into Doctor Xu's hand.
Doctor Xu looked at Chen Wei deeply.
Seriously,
He had been a doctor for decades and had seen a lot of intrigue in the wealthy families. He knew very well how vicious the women in the wealthy families were and how they all wanted to fight the other party to death.
But this was the first time he had seen Chen Wei's style of doing things.
Especially the ridiculous thing of taking abortion drugs in advance and then framing a man, Doctor Xu has only seen Chen Wei in his life.
"Sometimes, I really don't understand what you want to do..." Doctor Xu shook his head, left a prescription and left.
The fact that Aunt Zhao committed suicide was kept secret by Chen Wei.
No one else in the entire mansion knew about it except her.
Even Xie Yuchuan didn't say anything.
Because Chen Wei knew clearly that Xie Yuchuan would not be very sad when he heard the news of Aunt Zhao's suicide. It was not surprising that an ordinary woman with Aunt Zhao's personality died.
Aunt Zhao's death was like a passing cloud in the Marquis's Mansion.
It will scatter as soon as it is blown.
It won't cause any trouble.
