"What did the doctor say?"
After sending Doctor Tian away, Ouyang Fu asked the steward in a low voice.
The steward also lowered his voice, "Doctor Tian said that the injury is a bit serious. Whether it can recover or not depends on the healing of the injury before we can draw a conclusion. In short, it's about five or five."
Ouyang Fu said "Oh".
"Why didn't I hear the master shout?"
"Reporting to Madam, Dr. Tian gave the master an anesthetic, and the effect is very good. The master fell asleep and will not wake up until half an hour later."
Ouyang Fu walked into the bedroom and looked at the gauze-wrapped wound, feeling very disgusted.
She covered the quilt, out of sight and out of mind.
She asked the steward, "It was really badly injured? Did you see it with your own eyes?"
The steward nodded again and again, "It's bloody and bloody, it's really serious. I almost lost that hairpin... Damn the little one, the little one said something wrong, please punish me."
Halfway through the conversation, the steward realized that the hairpin was tied by his wife.
Now the whole mansion is decided by the wife, how can he make the wife unhappy.
Ouyang Fu snorted coldly, "He deserves it."
She had repacked and changed her clothes.
There is an extra wipe on the forehead, in order to cover the bruise marks on the forehead.
Gently touching her forehead made her gasp in pain.
She never expected that Liu Ping would be so vicious.
She had no doubt that at that moment Liu Ping wanted to kill her.
As long as she is dead, Liu Ping has the final say on this family.
Her dowry and the property shares she has accumulated over the years will all fall into Liu Ping's hands.
Children are suppressed because of filial piety, and there is too little room for resistance.
Coupled with the obstruction of the concubines and concubines, she dared not imagine what would happen if she died.
In any case, she must die behind him, only in this way can the interests of the children not be swallowed up by those with wolfish ambitions.
The more she thought about it, the colder and vicious Ouyang Fu became.
She glanced in the direction of the bedroom, with a gloomy gleam in her eyes, as if she was calculating something.
The steward didn't dare to look at it, let alone ask.
Ouyang Fu ordered the steward, "Take care of the master! You are not allowed to leave the room until the wound is healed. Three meals a day will be settled in the room, and I will send someone to deliver the meals on time."
The steward was miserable, but when he got into a pit, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue walking.
"Little one obeys!"
"Take good care of the master, and there will be rewards."
"Thank you ma'am!"
Ouyang Fu walked through the atrium and returned to the backyard, feeling very bad.
The thought of Liu Ping's woman still living in the backyard made her feel sick.
When Liu Ping was confiscated, all the childless women were kicked out by her.
The remaining women all gave birth to children for Liu Ping.
These people cannot be driven away no matter what.
There was no other way, Ouyang Fu could only hold her nose and bear it.
What happened today reminded her.
It seemed that she had already controlled the overall situation, but if something happened to her, the situation in the mansion would be reversed in a blink of an eye.
No, she had to prepare early.
The first thing she thought of was Xiao Qin'er, the fourth younger sibling.
She called the woman in charge, "Send a greeting card to Princess Duanjun and ask her when she is free. I want to visit."
"Concubine Xiao passed away. I heard that Princess Duanjun was very sad. Would it be inappropriate for Madam to come to visit at this time?"
"It doesn't matter, you can send the invitation directly, and you will get a reply if you can."
"The servant obeys!"
The woman in charge took the greeting card to the Duan County Prince's Mansion, and got a reply, three days later, Duan County Princess is free, so she can come to the door.
Ouyang Fu breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though Xiao Qin'er has many problems, and her mouth is ugly, she is still a kind and righteous person.
For so many years, Xiao Qin'er has never cut off contact with Ouyang Fu, and sometimes she will stand up for Ouyang Fu.
The sister-in-law has done the utmost of benevolence for this sake.
As for Princess Cui of Dunjun, Ouyang Fu is not familiar with her, and the relationship between her sister-in-law is not very harmonious.
Princess Cui of Dun County has always relied on her good background and good rules, and she doesn't like to deal with other sisters-in-law who break the rules. I always think that the sisters-in-law have brought down the royal atmosphere.
Ouyang Fu naturally wouldn't put a hot face on a cold butt, and kept Cui's family at a respectful distance.
On the appointed day, Ouyang Fu dressed neatly and brought her daughter-in-law to Duanjun Palace.
Xiao Qin'er was very happy.
"Second sister-in-law is a rare visitor! In the past, you were invited to come, but you refused to come. What kind of wind blows you here today."
Ouyang Fu said frankly: "In the past, my self-esteem was the cause, and I was ashamed to show up in front of people. Now I have figured it out, I should go out and walk around."
By the way, introduce my daughter-in-law to Xiao Qin'er.
As soon as Xiao Qin'er raised her eyebrows, she knew that Ouyang Fu was trying to help her son and daughter-in-law.
She gave a meeting gift and praised a few words. Liu Xun's daughter-in-law flushed with shame.
"It's a shallow child."
"I came from a small family and have never seen anything in the world. Don't laugh at her fourth sibling."
"Second sister-in-law was joking. She looks at Liu Xun's daughter-in-law very well, and it's too late to like her. How could she laugh at her?"
"The fourth younger siblings are quick talkers."
Ouyang Fu gave her a look, and Liu Xun's daughter-in-law sat down neatly.
Ouyang Fu's son Liu Xun married after his father Liu Ping was deprived of his title.
The daughter-in-law he married, as Ouyang Fu said, came from a small family.
Their family is just an ordinary clan now, so naturally they can't marry a girl from a high family.
This is what Ouyang Fu deeply regrets.
If she hadn't been so picky at the beginning, she would have arranged a marriage for her son early and got married early, and her son wouldn't have to feel wronged about the marriage.
Hey…
It's too late to say anything now.
When the two sisters-in-law met, they naturally couldn't finish talking.
Xiao Qin'er was well-informed, "The third sister-in-law and the third child had a fight, it was so serious that even the palace was alarmed."
Ouyang Fu asked curiously: "Why did the third brother and his wife fight? I remember that the third sibling has a gentle temper and follows the third brother in everything."
"Naturally, it's because of the empress's words, she is very dissatisfied with the third sister-in-law."
"The empress has spoken?" Ouyang Fu was taken aback.
Her identity is not as good as it used to be, and the news has lagged behind a lot. It is inevitable that many things will be realized later.
Xiao Qin'er nodded, and said in a low voice: "The empress is dissatisfied with the third sister-in-law's life, and privately reprimanded the third sister-in-law for not being able to manage the business and not taking on the responsibility of being the mistress. When it got to the ears of the third sister-in-law, the third sister-in-law was of course anxious. No, she started a fight with the third child, and dismissed half of the women in the third wife's backyard in one go."
Wow!
Ouyang Fu exclaimed, "I didn't expect the third sibling to have a straightforward and decisive side. I thought she would be a dough for a lifetime and be kneaded by others."
Xiao Qin'er sneered, "She wants to be dough, but it depends on whether the empress agrees or not. The palace is so good that it is full of smog. The third child is a bastard, and she is too weak as the mistress. That's why she is now Get tough, even though the quarrel with the third child is not very good, but it is quite effective if you lose half of the people in the backyard of the mansion."
Ouyang Fu nodded again and again, "It's not easy to live in the capital. Now everything is rising in price, and it costs more to raise a person than before. The monthly expenses of a whole yard of women are a huge sum. Dismissing half of the people can save money." A lot of money."
"Second sister-in-law still knows how to live and calculate carefully. I can't do it, and the accounts are often miscalculated." Xiao Qin'er hid her stupidity and giggled.
Ouyang Fu held her in his arms, "The four younger siblings are princesses, so naturally they don't need to worry about food, rice, oil, salt. The huge palace naturally has no shortage of income. Unlike our family, the family's living expenses all depend on me. That's it. If I don't get a single good word, people will even secretly hold grudges, hoping that I will die soon, and they will take the opportunity to share my dowry."
"Hearing what the second sister-in-law said, could something have happened in the house? Someone dare to challenge the authority of the second sister-in-law?" Er looked gossip.
"I don't have any authority at all. I'm just a fool, raising a group of white-eyed wolves with my own money."
After speaking, Ouyang Fu burst into tears.
She wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, "It's embarrassing to let the fourth sibling see the joke."
Xiao Qin'er quickly comforted her, "Second sister-in-law, don't be polite. Tell me, what's going on? I don't believe it. Someone is so courageous. The whole family is supported by you alone, yet someone even rides on your head Go wild."
"The fourth sibling underestimated someone's heartlessness, I was really blind."
Xiao Qin'er thought about this, and suddenly realized, "Second sister-in-law is saying that second brother treats you... He is so cruel? Where did he get the confidence to dare to act wildly against you."
"He not only acted wildly on me, he also wanted to kill me."
Ouyang Fu didn't hide anything, she just told the whole story.
Xiao Qin'er exclaimed again and again, "He is crazy!"
"Crazy or not, I don't know. I only know that at that time he wanted to kill me wholeheartedly. When I thought that if I died, my dowry, the property and shares I had accumulated over the years would all be taken by him." Take it away, it will take advantage of the group of concubines and the group of women in his backyard. My children will be bullied by them to the point of desperation, and even be kicked out of the mansion and live on the streets. When I think of this, my heart hurts so much that I want to die .”
Ouyang Fu cried, and her daughter-in-law cried too.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cried very sadly.
After crying enough, Ouyang Fu wiped away her tears and continued, "To tell you the truth, my fourth sibling, I came here today just to ask you something."
"Second sister-in-law, please tell me!" Xiao Qin'er was very serious at the moment.
Ouyang Fu solemnly said: "If one day I have an accident, get injured or die, please help me uphold justice and help my children guard my dowry and property. My dowry and all properties can only be Leave it to my children. Concubine and concubine, I have done my utmost to raise them. Don’t even think about taking a penny from me.”
"Why is that so!"
"The fourth younger sibling has never experienced it, so I can't understand the fear in my heart. I have the cheek to ask the fourth younger sibling to help me with this. Please don't dislike it."
After finishing speaking, he took out a land deed as a reward.
Xiao Qin'er hastily declined, "Second Sister-in-law treats me as someone, I can't accept this. The reason why I hesitate is not because I think it's troublesome, but because I'm wondering if I can ask the palace to make the decision for you?"
"After all, I hurt him, how the palace decides for me. If the palace pursues it, wouldn't it be as he wanted."
Ouyang Fu repeatedly denied that she didn't want to disturb the palace.
She was afraid that Emperor Liu Zhao would favor Liu Ping. After all, Liu Ping was injured, and it was his life that was injured.
Xiao Qin'er gave her some advice, "I know what the second sister-in-law is worried about. In fact, you can ask the empress to come forward. If there is no accident in this kind of thing, the empress will definitely be on your side."
Ouyang Fu still shook her head, "Forget it, I don't want to alarm the empress."
Xiao Qin'er hesitated for a moment, "Okay, I'll follow you. I can promise you that if something happens to you, I will stand up and uphold justice for you. But things may not be as bad as you think. The whole family is counting on Watching you eat, if you have an accident, there will always be people who will be unlucky, it is better to maintain the current situation."
Ouyang Fu laughed at herself, "I hope to maintain the current situation, because I'm afraid that some people will not be able to bear it anymore and start to use their brains. To tell the truth to my fourth siblings, he can really do anything when he becomes crazy."
"It's better to lock him up."
"I would like to! But this is not a long-term solution after all."
Xiao Qin'er also felt pain for Ouyang Fu.
It's been such a bad day.
"Second sister-in-law, if she is free, come and sit with me more often. I can't guarantee anything else, but at least it can save face for you, so that some people don't dare to act rashly."
"Thank you fourth sibling!"
Ouyang Fu was very grateful.
This solved her big problem.
Satisfied, she bid farewell and left.
Back at the mansion, she heard that Dr. Tian was coming for a follow-up visit, so she hurried to the study.
Doctor Tian is losing his temper.
"Did you follow the old man's doctor's advice? Why is the patient's condition more serious than the last inspection? What about the medicine? Take the medicine prescribed by the old man for examination."
