Now is the stage when she is most in need of water and gold, and her health cannot be ignored. Almost at the same time that she was carried back to her room, Dr. Lin, who specializes in treating Qin Guogong, hurriedly arrived with the medicine boy!
A large group of people didn't bother to look at the account books, and they all waited nervously at the door.
After a while, Dr. Lin came out, wiping cold sweat as he walked. Seeing this, Mr. Dou, who was at the head of the crowd, was about to ask, but the doctor shook his sleeves and bowed, with a solemn expression: "The Duke is still waiting for me to come before you." Go and report it, I hope you will give in!"
The name of Qin Guogong was brought out, and everyone had to give way. They all asked the He family who had followed the room before: "Who are the third aunt and the fourteenth younger brother and sister?"
"I haven't recovered before, so I'm going to be tired now!" He's expression was very bad. She did not hesitate to kill He Shuijin's unborn baby, and even lost her eldest grandson who had already entered school. Why? ? Aren't you afraid that you and Shuijin will miss the time when you need her
As a result, the niece collapsed after only looking at Qingfengji's account book for a night and a half. Dr. Lin, who was there just now, didn't have the heart to say more. Looking at this, he knew that the situation was serious. Can he do anything next
Think about the Fourth Fang who just planned to use Princess Cai’s dowry to tear open the Queen Mother’s party; then think about the Dafang and Sixth Fang who will not be treated badly as long as Qin Guogong is in charge; and although they are young and not very talented, there is a person who has been till now. The eighth wife of the biological mother who was doted on by everyone... Heshi was in a complete mess!
She stayed for a while, and became more and more upset by the questioning of Xiao Dou and others. She forced herself to wave her hands and said, "Go ahead and do what Shui Jin just told you!"
He felt that he needed to calm down and think about what he could do to get enough points and benefits for Sanfang if he and Shui Jin could no longer worry about it.
She didn't know that in the room behind her at this moment, He Shuijin, who had been lying there before, opened his eyes as soon as Dr. Lin and her went out and only her confidant maid was left in the inner room. Her eyes were calm, her expression was clear, and she didn't have any illness. He looked like he was dying.
"Young Madam!" Juan'er opened her mouth, made a silent mouth gesture, and handed her a cup of hot rose water.
"I'm not in good health after all!" He Shuijin drank a few sips of rose water, and his mental strength recovered a lot. He returned the glass cup to Juan'er, listening to He's voice outside the window sending everyone back to work, he raised the corners of his mouth and revealed A smile that was both proud and sarcastic, "Although I was pretending to be dizzy, I found out when I lay down that I was really tired..."
Juan'er sat on the footrest in front of the couch and peeled oranges for her. After listening to Mr. He walking away, she whispered: "You were not well to begin with, and you stayed up all night worrying... My maid said something unlucky. : Even if you didn’t faint just now, you definitely won’t be able to hold on at night!”
He sighed, "Why didn't you drink those medicines earlier? If you drink them, you will be at least 90% better!"
"What kind of medical skills does Dr. Lin have? I am young and strong now. If the illness during my confinement is almost cured, and I faint after working like this for most of the night, do you think you can hide it from him?" He Shuijin said calmly. , "The old lady is separated from me by a generation, and there are differences between men and women. Even if he knows that I am capable of running the house, what kind of talent has the old lady never seen in his life? Will he pay much attention to me, a junior woman? If I don't take advantage of this. For what he personally paid attention to and worked hard and sacrificed his life to accomplish, the credit should go to the entire Sanfang! I can only get a few words of praise... Why?"
Her calm eyes gradually turned gloomy, "Moreover, even if I drank the last few medicines before, it was 90% better... You have also seen how much the ledger is this time. You must know that this is just what Qingfeng recorded in the capital. I haven't had time to bring more account books from other places - you said that I was a good child before and had never had a miscarriage, how could I endure being busy day and night for a few days now with so many elders staring at this matter? , If I don’t work day and night, my good aunt will definitely have something to say! Anyway, she has been hoping that I will be too busy to take a concubine or even marry again, right?”
He lowered his eyes, "And now that I have been so sick and let so many people see it, I just fainted and struggled to wake up and still thought about things... Dr. Lin also diagnosed that I was really weak. Do you think the old man would If you don't say anything, let me take it slow. With the old man's words and the reason now, I will do things more slowly when I am sick. Who can say that I am not?"
Juaner couldn't help but shed tears: "Young madam, it's so hard! You didn't offend anyone, you tried your best to plan for the third house, why did you just -" meet such a mother-in-law? She is still her own aunt!
"Extreme wisdom will inevitably lead to injury. I never took it lightly when I read this sentence in the past. Only now do I realize how discerning my predecessors were!" He Shuijin's eyelashes trembled for a moment, but he immediately raised his sleeves to wipe them away and whispered, "What if I am mediocre?" As an ordinary lady...how could I attract the attention of my good aunt? But fortunately, I am still alive. One day, I will seek justice for myself and my poor child with my own profits! !”
She opened her eyes suddenly, and her eyes were gone with tears and weakness, and she ordered in a cold voice, "You will tell Xian'er later and quietly invite the nineteenth younger brother and sister over... I have something to entrust to her!"
... At about the same time, Dr. Lin hurried to Qin Guogong's study and carefully reported He Shuijin's situation: "The fourteenth young lady's miscarriage had hurt her body before, and she was too grieved during the confinement period. Originally, These past few months are not suitable for fatigue. I have been worrying about this since last night, and now I will... "
Qin Guogong frowned: "If grandson-in-law can't continue to worry, what about others?"
This question was not asked to Dr. Lin, but to the old servant standing behind him with his hands lowered. The old servant lowered his eyebrows and replied: "It can be done, but it may not be as foolproof as the fourteenth young lady presided over. After all, Qingfeng Ji" Since they are working for someone like the Queen Mother, how can they not be on guard? The reason why they have so many ledgers is because their business is huge, and secondly, they have to sort out the open and secret accounts one by one, and then search for them. Clues!"
"... But my granddaughter-in-law is unwell, let her rest for now." Qin Guogong was silent for a while, then said calmly, and then looked at Dr. Lin, "You can stay in the third room these days."
When these words reached the third room, Jiang Tianqi and He Shi both understood it: "If my father didn't want his grandson-in-law to take care of her illness, why did he send Dr. Lin here? It's just that the grandson-in-law fainted in full view of the public. At this time, my father It would be unkind to tell her that she puts the overall situation first! We have to do this for this difficult person. "
Heshi wished that he and Shuijin could win this honor for Sanfang, and immediately promised: "I'll tell her later!"
"Speak politely and don't let the child feel resentful!" Jiang Tianqi warned, "Speaking of which, our accountant is useless. There are so many people and none of them can match her! Now the situation cannot be alleviated, so we can only feel aggrieved. This child is dead!" He added, "Let Heng'er not run around for the next two days, especially not to go to any fireworks place, lest my wife is tired and has to worry about him!"
He felt sour in his heart when he heard this: When I first became the head of the household, wasn't it that I was extremely busy? Wouldn't I be sad if you went to hold a flower girl and drink wine with her every other day? Now that it’s your son, I feel sorry for your daughter-in-law!
However, the He family knew that Jiang Tianqi always liked capable and exquisite young daughters-in-law. She even said privately that her son should be half as smart as Shui Jin. He would not have to worry about his children in this life. Now that he needed to take advantage of his daughter-in-law's situation, he had no choice but to Suppressing his jealousy, he said: "I know. That child has always been sensible. I think she should understand if I speak a little more openly. It's not that we don't love her. This is for their own good in the future!"
Just as he was talking, a servant came in and announced: "Juan'er, the maid of the Fourteenth Young Madam, is here!"
Jiang Tianqi hurriedly said: "Call her to come in - is your wife awake?"
After Juaner came in, she bowed and said that He Shuijin had woken up: "Young Madam has no strength now and really can't get up. But she is worried about business, so she sent her maid over to discuss with the Master and Madam whether it is okay to get up." Set up a screen in the inner room so that the stewards can talk outside the screen? "
"This child is so sick that he can't get up, so why is he still worried about the accounts?" Jiang Tianqi was very pleased that his daughter-in-law was so sensible, and he had to complain a few words, "Tell her to recover well and stop thinking too much." , it’s important to get well soon!”
Juan'er scolded the couple for being hypocritical and shameless in her heart, but said respectfully on her face: "Young Madam said she thought everyone was busy, so she couldn't do her best even when she was lying down! I hope that the Master and Madam will forgive her for being unruly!"
"What kind of unruliness is this? Follow the authority in emergencies!" As expected, Jiang Tianqi just refused symbolically, and immediately agreed, and ordered to take a few treasures, medicinal materials and water gold from his treasury - which he liked in the first place. Seeing that this daughter-in-law is still so knowledgeable, Jiang Tianqi was pleased and decided, "Where did Heng'er go today? Find him! My daughter-in-law is currently ill and is unable to write, so let him stay in the room." He is here to accompany his wife, so that the stewards can come and go. If you need to write down a note, Heng'er can do it for you!"
Juan'er was overjoyed when she heard this: "My maid, thank the master for the young lady!"
When the Jiang family is intensively searching for evidence of the Queen Mother's party, the Queen Mother's party will naturally not sit back and wait for death!
"Duan Jin has committed suicide. However, the evidence of his crime of corruption and bribery is conclusive. Now we can only try to protect his family!" Empress Dowager Gu on the Fengzuo was as sinking as water. "The Ai family has handed over this matter to Gu Yan. Go and do it... This time the Jiang family found evidence of dealings with Qingfengji from the Duan family, and took the opportunity to seal Qingfengji's accounts. They must be eager to deal with us all at once! They may not have much energy to take care of Duan Jin's family, so it shouldn't be difficult. Replace people!"
"The account books of Qingfengji in Beijing have now been transported to the Duke's Mansion, so there is nothing we can do about it." Qiu Dian suggested, "But they must not let them get the account books in the foreign semicolons smoothly! Otherwise, if they are compared with the general ledger, we will have no way to defend ourselves. !”
Political struggle requires money, which is why He Shuijin took charge of the Jiang family's accounts before she even got married - if she had waited until she got married to become the head of the family, the Queen's Party would have lost a lot of money during the delayed years! Compared to the benefits she can bring, the rules are nothing!
The most important economic pillar of the Queen Mother's Party is Qingfengji!
Now that Qingfeng Ji has been blocked by the Jiang family, not only will they be traced back to them, but it will also be a huge blow to the entire party's pocketbook!
If a party with no money wants to survive and grow, unless most people have a lofty ideal and reach the state of being sentimental and full of water - obviously the Queen Mother's Party does not follow this path! Compared with Duan Jin's downfall, the investigation of Qingfengji was a bigger blow to them!
So now regarding Duan Jin's family, Queen Mother Gu explained the outcome and it was over. Now the people in the palace are more concerned about the ending of Qingfeng Ji.
"I'm afraid it's too late for us to record the ledgers in other places!" Tang Zimo pondered for a while and shook his head, saying, "The Jiang family has clearly planned this for a long time - how could they not have sent someone to wait outside earlier? As soon as the attack is successful and Jingzhong Qingfeng is sealed, we will take action immediately. Even if we send someone to send a letter... it is too late!"
Queen Mother Gu's face changed suddenly when she heard this!
But after all, the Queen Mother has been regent for decades and is not easily defeated. After thinking for a while, Queen Mother Gu quickly made a decision: "Is it just Duan Jin who is responsible for the corruption of ink? How can the members of the Jiang family be innocent? Qing Qing We have lost the initiative to save Fengji! In this case, let’s just leave it alone! If they can impeach our people, why can’t we depose those traitors?”
Don't think that a Qingfeng story can cause chaos in the Ai family, and you will lead them by the nose! ! !
