Meng Li slipped into the maid's room calmly, took out the medicine bag from the small box under the cabinet and put it in his sleeve.
As compensation, she put some broken silver, which was enough for the maid to buy several more medicines.
Then Meng Licai slowly returned to his room. The maid came back and said with some embarrassment:
"Master, they said they had already eaten..."
Meng Li's expression was a little hard to explain: "Are you so disrespectful?"
I'm obviously busy doing things when I get back, so I don't have time to eat.
The maid said nothing, and Meng Li asked again: "What did the master say?"
"The master seems very angry and can't say anything." The maid said weakly.
Meng Li: "..."
Why.
It should have been understood a long time ago that the attitude of this family is not to care about the life or death of the head mother.
Meng Li said: "Forget it if you don't come, just leave the kitchen alone. I don't want to eat."
She had nutritional supplements, but she still had other things to do. Her main purpose was not achieved, and eating was a waste of time.
Naturally, the maid began to persuade her in various ways, but Meng Li still refused to eat, and she was locked in a room alone and no one was allowed to accompany her.
The maid was very worried. What could she do if Madam didn't eat? She ran to tell the eldest young master, the second young master, and the master.
After hearing this, the three men all had the same expression, they just frowned, muttering to themselves that this man was doing it again.
Wen Yue'er didn't expect her mother-in-law to really stop eating, but she said with some worry:
"We can't let my mother-in-law go on like this. She won't be able to bear it anymore. Since she wants us to eat with her, we can just do it. It's also a filial duty."
Xu Xiuyuan said worriedly: "I'm just worried that my mother will embarrass you."
"How could it be?" Wen Yue'er smiled far-fetchedly. She couldn't figure out what medicine her mother-in-law was selling in her gourd and what it was for.
Although getting along with her mother-in-law is really embarrassing, they are still a family and cannot escape. It would be better if her mother-in-law wants to leave one day.
Xu Zhichao said: "Let's do it this way. From now on, my brother and I will go have meals with my mother when we are free. You'd better not go."
They all want to protect Wen Yue'er well.
They were discussing how to deal with Meng Li, but there were a bunch of medicinal materials placed in Meng Li's room.
She picked some out of her own medicine bag, and the medicinal materials in the maid's medicine bag were enough for her to prepare a medicine.
Medicine is so magical. Different medicines have completely different properties when combined together. It is obvious that the medicine used to save people can be easily transformed into a medicine that harms people.
Even without the tools in the pharmacy, it was still very difficult for Meng Li to grind it into powder. After tinkering in the room all afternoon, he was almost done.
It doesn't matter that her medicine is missing a lot of medicinal ingredients, since her illness is not going to be cured by these medicines anyway.
Heart disease requires a heart medicine doctor.
In the afternoon, the maid called softly at the door for the fifth time. Meng Li pretended to be asleep several times before and ignored her. Seeing that he was finished with the things at hand, she pretended to be lazy and answered. The maid opened the door and saw the lady holding her head, looking drowsy, and said:
"Even after drinking the medicine, Madam, are you still not feeling better?"
Meng Li's expression softened:
"It's getting better. How can any medicine be so effective?"
The maid added: "The master and the young master both said they would come over for dinner in the evening."
Meng Li raised his eyebrows. If you don't come at noon, will you come again at night
"Where's Yue'er?" Meng Li asked.
"The young lady seems to be feeling a little unwell and said she can't come."
Meng Li couldn't help but chuckle, it was really...
Is it a treasure? Hide and tuck.
"Where are the master and the young master?" Meng Li asked again.
The maid said: "It seems that they were playing chess in the back garden."
Meng Li stood up and said to the maid: "Then let me go and see Yue'er."
Maid: "..."
She vaguely sensed something strange about this family, but she couldn't tell exactly why.
Naturally, this maid doesn't know about the dirty things in the house. It's okay if the servants find out about these things.
Meng Li didn't wait for the maid to say anything, stood up and walked directly towards Wen Yue'er.
In fact, you can have a straightforward conversation with Wen Yue'er first.
They are playing chess, which is a perfect opportunity. The three of them are very obsessed with chess. No one is allowed to interrupt the game until it is finished, and they will only stop unless it is extremely urgent.
Meng Li also found it amazing that three people who share a woman can still get along so well and harmoniously, and they have a father-son-brother relationship.
It's really shameless.
Wen Yue'er was doing embroidery, holding the embroidery needle and feeling a little distressed. No matter what she did now, she had to do it for three people, which was very tiring.
When the maid at the door said that her mother-in-law was here, she immediately put down her embroidery needle, stood up nervously, straightened her appearance briefly, and went out to greet her.
Meng Li saw that Wen Yue'er looked better than in the morning and couldn't help but said:
"I heard that you were feeling unwell, so I came here deliberately to take a look. I didn't expect that you looked better than in the morning."
Wen Yue'er immediately panicked. Is this mother-in-law here to cause trouble
Are you going to embarrass her in another way? Taking advantage of Xiuyuan and the others' absence, taking advantage of every opportunity
Meng Li knew what Wen Yue'er was thinking and said nicely:
"Don't be too nervous. I just have something to say to you. Just listen to me and don't inform them yet, okay?"
Wen Yue'er lowered her head and said nothing. It took a long time before Meng Li heard a thin voice: "Okay."
"Mother-in-law, come inside and sit down. It's windy outside." Wen Yue'er said.
Meng Li nodded.
Seeing Wen Yue'er's body give way, Meng Li took the lead and walked in. Wen Yue'er lowered her head and followed closely, looking like a frustrated daughter-in-law. When she also stepped into the room, Meng Li said to Wen Yue'er The son said:
"Close the door, some words are not suitable for others to listen to."
Wen Yue'er became even more nervous, knowing what her mother-in-law wanted to talk to her about.
She was a little afraid of closing the door because she felt it was dangerous to be alone in a room with her mother-in-law, but seeing her mother-in-law's silent eyes, she couldn't feel disobedient.
After closing the door, Wen Yue'er's legs softened, she knelt down and said sincerely:
"Mother-in-law, it's my daughter-in-law who is guilty. You can punish her however you want, but please don't let your anger break your body."
Instead of waiting for your mother-in-law to say something unpleasant, you might as well lead the conversation and speak more beautifully.
Meng Li's expression was calm:
"You also know that I am so angry because of you?"
Wen Yue'er: "It's my daughter-in-law's fault."
Meng Li agreed and said: "You have worked hard too, and you have relieved my worries."
The subtext of these words is that Wen Yue'er also plays the role of the master's concubine. It's not that Wen Yue'er doesn't understand, it's because she understands that her face turns red.
Feeling ashamed and angry, her lips trembled and she finally said:
"Everything is as my daughter-in-law wishes. I hope my mother-in-law will understand it clearly."
"My daughter-in-law is just a housewife. She cannot control her own destiny and can only be at the mercy of others." Her voice was very bitter.
