The old lady's hesitation made Chunfeng a little cold-hearted. Although they had not gotten along for a short time, Chunfeng always treated the old lady as his own grandmother. Faced with people's suspicion, Chunfeng was inevitably a little unhappy.
Since they don't believe it, just prove it to them. Chunfeng is not afraid of their false accusations at all. As the saying goes, a person who is upright is not afraid of a slanted shadow.
"Well, what Chunfeng girl said is that we can find a doctor to take a look to prove our innocence. If someone deliberately ruins our young lady's reputation out of thin air, don't blame me for being ruthless."
The old lady nodded slightly, agreeing with Chunfeng's suggestion, and at the same time dispelling a trace of doubt in her heart.
He turned to look at the little maid kneeling on the ground and said harshly. Hearing the sound, the little maid knelt on the ground lowered her body, motionless and did not dare to speak.
"What grandma said is that my granddaughter also hopes to prove Sister Chunfeng's innocence as soon as possible, and not to let outsiders gossip about our Duke's mansion. At this moment, Doctor Liu is probably still outside the hospital, so why not invite him?" How about coming in and checking my sister's pulse?"
He Pingting said virtuously, but those who didn't know it thought she and Chunfeng were really good sisters who were in harmony with each other!
"Well, go and invite me!" The old lady nodded, turned to look at Chunfeng and said gently and lovingly: "Come on, girl Chunfeng, come over to grandma and let grandma take a good look. Don't worry, grandma will make the decision for you. No one can I have wronged you."
Chunfeng walked towards the old lady with a smile and said respectfully: "Thank you, grandma!"
They were still respectful and courteous, but the difference was that they were no longer so intimate.
The old lady saw that Chunfeng was still so polite, so she didn't think much about it. She affectionately took Chunfeng's hand and sat next to her.
He Pingting looked at the old lady's preference for Chunfeng, and felt resentful in her heart. Hum, I'll let you be proud for a while, and you'll see something nice later.
"The grassroots people have met the old lady and heard that the old lady is in good health. They are really happy. Congratulations to the old lady."
As soon as Dr. Liu entered the door, he saluted the old lady, and the old lady smiled happily as she spoke auspicious words.
"You're welcome, Dr. Liu, but I would like to trouble you to help my granddaughter find out what's going on with her today."
"Yes, Madam." Doctor Liu put down the bag in his hand and bowed respectfully to the spring breeze in a gesture of invitation.
Because the old lady was here, Chunfeng did not return to the gauze curtain in the inner room, but sat directly at the table and stretched out his arms.
Doctor Liu has always had a good reputation in the capital. He had always treated the old lady's illness before, so Doctor Liu was an acquaintance in the house.
After many years of dealing with him, the old lady knew that Dr. Liu was also a trustworthy person.
After Dr. Liu made a diagnosis, he stood up and said respectfully to the old lady: "Back to the old lady, this young lady has lost too much blood and has some frailty and blood deficiency. It should be caused by trauma. But she should take more supplements to replenish blood and replenish qi." With the medicinal diet, you can recover after a while."
"Injured?" The old lady glanced at Chunfeng in surprise and said, "Thank you very much, Doctor Liu. Mother Li, please take Doctor Liu to the accounting room to receive the reward."
"Thank you, old lady. The common man will leave first." When Doctor Liu heard that there was a reward, his face was also happy. After bidding farewell to the old lady respectfully, he followed Mother Li out.
"Okay, now the matter is clear. Where did the rumors come from? It's clearly nonsense from this girl. Come on, pull me down and give her twenty sticks."
After sending Doctor Liu away, the old lady had doubts in her heart about how Chunfeng could be injured, but she immediately punished those who spread rumors.
Twenty lashes with the cane, the old lady was really cruel. Twenty lashes with the cane would make a little maid useless even if she was not dead.
This punishment is really a severe punishment. This also shows the old lady's love for Chunfeng, or to be precise, her love for her daughter.
In fact, the old lady just wanted to scare the monkeys and warn these servants, so that they know that the master is the master and they have no role to discuss.
At the same time, it was also for Chunfeng Niang to suppress those gossips to prevent them from uncovering the past events.
The maidservant who was kneeling on the ground was also shocked. He gave her 20 strokes of the cane, which was preparing to kill her, and she begged for mercy in a panic.
"Old madam, please forgive me, old madam, please forgive me. I didn't mean to do this. I heard from Xiaoju in Miss Chunfeng's room that she had heard some movement in Miss Chunfeng's room in the middle of the night, and Miss Chunfeng never let them keep watch every day. They all sent them out early. Therefore, when I saw this blood-tonifying decoction, my slave thought wrongly. I don't dare to do it anymore. I didn't mean it. I don't dare to talk nonsense anymore. If you dare, please ask the old lady to spare your life."
The maid Dongmei knelt on the ground, kowtowing and bouncing, and kept begging for mercy.
"Bold Dongmei, you still dare to talk nonsense. Why is there a man in sister Chunfeng's room? If you keep talking nonsense, even if grandma spares you, I won't spare you, so shut up."
He Pingting pointed at the maid Dongmei on the ground and said angrily.
"Miss, I'm not talking nonsense. What I said is the truth. Otherwise, I would have known if I had asked Xiao Ju in Miss Chunfeng's room to come out and ask. How dare I talk nonsense in front of the miss and the old lady."
Dongmei said with a pleading look on her face, as if she was grasping at a life-saving straw.
"Grandma, don't listen to this girl's nonsense. I believe that a polite person like Sister Chunfeng will never have a private meeting with others." He Pingting looked innocent and kind, but what she said was very vicious.
Obviously what the maid said was that she heard something moving in Chunfeng's room, but when it came to her mouth, it turned out to be a private meeting with the man in the room. That obviously meant that Chunfeng had a private meeting with the man. She had a baby and had to have an abortion. I want to drink that blood-tonifying medicine.
If Doctor Liu hadn't just diagnosed that Chunfeng had lost blood due to trauma, I'm afraid this lie would have come true.
The old lady looked at He Pingting with a complicated expression and said nothing, but He Pingting was immersed in her own joy and did not notice the old lady's expression.
She wanted to see how Chunfeng planned to escape today. She had already planned everything. Even if she didn't drive her out of the house in the end, she would still lose the old lady's favor.
Without the old lady's favor, she still had the final say in this mansion. She would not let it go easily if it caused her such misery.
"Sister Chunfeng, please say something. Tell grandma that you didn't have a private meeting with anyone." He Pingting looked anxious for Chunfeng to explain, as if she was really worried about Chunfeng, but she kept repeating " The word for a private meeting.
"Thank you, cousin, for trusting me. Didn't you say that Xiaoju in my room heard it? Just call her out and confront her." Chunfeng shook his head indifferently and didn't explain much.
Her style has always been to speak with evidence. Just like the police want to arrest people based on evidence, using evidence to slap these people in the face is the most powerful rebuttal.
