Mother Hu reported the matter to the Duke of Qin. As expected, the Duke of Qin did not object and only said: "Even if we find the medicine, Zhuang's decree should be cut off as punishment!"
Jiang Yashuang just frowned and said nothing. Firstly, he only wanted Mrs. Zhuang to recover quickly and had no time to argue with his grandfather. Secondly, the sister-in-law beat her sister-in-law to the point of death in public and even made a scene. With the city full of turmoil, this punishment cannot be said to be too harsh; Mrs. Sanlaizhuang's domineering behavior did not rely on the imperial seal. Based on the relationship between Fourth Fang and Empress Dowager Jiang, are you still worried that there will be no chance of her being sealed back in the future
So I told my servants not to spill anything in front of Mrs. Zhuang, so as not to irritate her, so I just let it go.
But something went wrong at the first house. When they learned that the fourth house was willing to take out life-extending pills to treat Mrs. Dou in order to alleviate Mrs. Zhuang's punishment, they made another request: "Mother is so seriously injured, one pill." Where are the pills? This pill should be the one that came from the Xihe Palace. Earlier, Qiu Jinglan was assassinated, King Qi was dying, Xue Nongying was dying, Qiu Jinglan was dying in Shazhou... So it's already four pills, right? Now that I can take out another one, it can be seen that it is a lie to say that it is extremely rare and there are not many of them!”
"Ask them to bring a few more! You must also promise to recall Qiu Jinglan immediately! Otherwise, this matter will never end!"
...Obviously, the fourth room's perfunctory attitude was regarded as weakness by the first room and he was determined to pursue the victory!
This was passed on to Mrs. Hu and she was reported to Mrs. Tao. Mrs. Tao was so angry that her face turned livid: "Give me something shameless!!!"
Mother Hu worriedly said: "Supposedly, this medicine is not difficult to obtain now, but Qiu Jinglan's recall...how can the fourth house be willing to do it?"
"Don't even think about whether Qiu Jinglan will recall it! Just ask for a few more pills - is this a question of whether the medicine is difficult to obtain or not?" Mrs. Tao sneered, "Didn't you listen to the big house? Nineteenth daughter-in-law Since I can take one pill after another, it can be seen that there are a lot of this medicine. If this word spreads, more people will know about it. I really think that the nineteen-year-old daughter-in-law has too many similar medicines in her hands. This is not to cause trouble for her. What is it?”
He said angrily, "The one who is in the most trouble is not the Nineteenth Daughter-in-law. She is our granddaughter-in-law after all. How many people dare to force her now? The one who is in the most trouble is her brother Qiu Jinglan! What do you think? Regardless of whether he is in Shazhou or back to the court, if other people believe this and ask for the medicine, what will he do if he is alone and does not have the power of our family? He will really offend all his colleagues! It’s over, even with the support of our family, I’m afraid it will still be strong!”
Hu's mother changed color when she heard this: "Then what should we do now?"
"Did you tell Chao Hai?"
"The old man asked the old slave to tell you that if you don't want to take care of it, then let the fourth room find a way to go!" Mother Hu sighed.
"Da Fang is simply asking for death! Why does Chao Hai think that if the Fourth Fang offers a step out, he will do it a second time?!" Mrs. Tao sneered, "Don't forget that this step is still closed in another courtyard. The two people who tried to atone for their sins brought it up, and the 19th daughter-in-law agreed on her own initiative! The fourth daughter-in-law and the 19th daughter-in-law, the ones who really made the decision, didn’t say anything! How could the eldest daughter-in-law still be so ignorant? If he doesn't mediate, he is afraid that when he closes his eyes, no nephew will follow him, right?"
Mother Hu smiled bitterly, not daring to accept this.
"Then tell the fourth room!" Mrs. Tao thought for a while, gritted her teeth and said, "I can't do this for them! Even if they can do it, I won't do it, what the hell - it's just that the longer they live, the more they go back!"
...Qiu Yilan, who thought things would go smoothly, was stunned after hearing what Hu's mother told her. "Is there something wrong with the big room's brain?"
"The old lady said, I think they have been used to it by all the houses over the years." Hu's mother smiled bitterly, "It's also the old slave who is useless. Logically speaking, it is good for both parties - that is, for the big house. , the eldest lady was beaten to death, isn't it very shameful - the old slave didn't even do it! Please forgive me, young lady!"
These words were obviously an apology, but secretly they were revealing that Dafang's words were not so nice. Otherwise, it's not like Mother Hu didn't know that Qiu Yilan didn't like Dafang, so why bother to accuse Dafang of being ignorant again
"What kind of words did mom say?" Qiu Yilan suppressed her anger and comforted her face happily, "This is because Dafang has lost his mind! He can even say such shameless words! After something happened to Sister Eighteen, No one in the family knows that they have nothing to do with me! But have they ever made any apology? Now that I think about it, I am young and ignorant, and I have become more and more used to them. Not only do I have to worry about my grandmother and mother, but I also call them mother. I am so wronged!”
Mother Hu hurriedly said: "I can't! It's my duty for this old slave to run errands. How can I say I'm wronged?" She then comforted Qiu Yilan, "Young lady, you are also kind-hearted. I can't blame you for this! In fact, no one thought of the big house. Even the old lady was surprised that she was so reckless!
The two made peace with each other and gave the big house a bloody scolding - but the scolding continued and the problem still had to be solved. After sending Hu's mother away, Qiu Yilan rubbed her forehead and called over Zhou's mother, Qu's mother and others. Discuss countermeasures.
His mother became anxious when she heard this: "My wife and the Nineteenth Young Master have asked you to have a good pregnancy, why do you still have to worry about it?"
"My mother is sick, and I feel guilty that I can't take care of her because I'm pregnant. Seeing that Nineteen is busy all alone, I'm really worried, so I thought it would be good to share some of the work with him..." Qiu Yilan was quite surprised by her tone. , I felt unhappy, but thinking that she was the one left behind by Mrs. Zhuang, I couldn’t scold her, so I simply started wiping tears as my eyes turned red, "Grandma and Grandpa had already figured this out before me. I thought this would solve the problem." The two sides will definitely agree to the method of saving face! But who would have thought..."
"Young madam, please don't be sad. The matter has already come to this. It's better to find a way to solve it!" Mother Zhou felt extremely distressed when she saw her crying. She quickly handed over the handkerchief and persuaded softly, "You are pregnant now. Pregnant…”
His mother didn't know what to say when she saw this - after all, Qiu Yilan did this to help her mother-in-law and to be considerate of her husband. To blame, she could only blame Dafang for being too arrogant!
I also heard that Zhou’s mother and others couldn’t help but persuade Qiu Yilan about her pregnancy, and they were afraid that this young lady was already “fetal” and if something happened to her, she would be in trouble! So I followed Zhou's mother's words and gave some advice. After Qiu Yilan calmed down, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's it, young lady, don't be sad. I will go and report to the Nineteenth Young Master, please." Young Master Nineteen, please find a way to wake them up!"
"Mom, wait a minute!" Qiu Yilan stopped her, "I didn't think about this well enough, so I didn't handle it properly! But after thinking about it just now, it's not all that there is no way to deal with the aftermath! Please give me two or three Let me deal with it on my own during the day! Otherwise, I’ll look for Shijiu for everything, so don’t tire him out!”
His mother frowned and said, "I dare not stop the young lady from feeling sorry for the young master, but the young lady is pregnant, but she can't help being tired!" The most important thing is, can you really deal with the aftermath? Don't be more kind and troublesome. Later, the young master will have to step in to clean up the mess. So it is better to leave it to the young master now!
"No." Qiu Yilan did not tell her the details, but insisted that she delay for a few days before reporting.
His mother really didn't trust her, but she didn't want to save face. After being vague for a while, she found a reason to resign and quietly went to Chang's mother to ask for advice.
Chang's mother was the most useful person to Mrs. Zhuang after all. When she heard this, she said: "Isn't it just a matter of getting a bigger house? Even if the Nineteenth Young Madam gets into trouble when she is rehabilitating the aftermath, where can she be in trouble? She is pregnant now. The lady is very concerned about her body! And look at how young and promising our Nineteenth Young Master is, and she is the only one in the backyard after being married for two or three years. It shows that even if he has no means, it shows how much he cares about her! She's so favored... So why bother to offend her? You're only a day or two away, and you're still afraid that if you're just one or two days late, the eldest brother would dare to come to our fourth room and make a fuss!"
"But she didn't want to tell me how to deal with the aftermath. I can at least check it for her, right?"
"What's the matter!" Chang's mother laughed and scolded, "Madam arranged for you to guard the door for her over there. Do you really think that you are her confidant? You don't want to think that this young lady is a serious princess and has a full house. The dowry is available, but it has to be you? Besides, who knows who and what she needs to deal with the aftermath, and is it inappropriate to talk about it to the outside world? Have you forgotten that her natal brothers have quite a few experts who can use them? How can I talk to you if I can't do things on the stage?"
Only then did his mother feel relieved: "The old slave should just agree to her when he gets back!"
"It's better to treat the young lady with respect from now on!" Chang's mother thought for a while, and for the sake of her long-time sisters, she still mentioned it, "My lady fell ill before, and I didn't send anyone to inform that scoundrel, but the Nineteenth Young Master was not happy. You beat me up in front of the bastard couple... My wife has always relied on her biological children for everything. Although I don’t know the current temperament of the Eighth Young Master, the Nineteenth Young Master obviously doesn’t want us to be too public!”
"Is there such a thing?" His mother was startled, "Then I understand." Since Jiang Yashuang didn't even give face to Mrs. Zhuang's most respectable mother Chang, let alone his wife, for the sake of his brother-in-law and sister-in-law. If he knew that he was not respectful enough to Qiu Yilan, he might not know what to do!
Especially the eldest concubine, Mrs. Taizhuang, who dotes on her children by nature, has been separated for many years, and recently lost her biological daughter, so she feels deeply guilty for her remaining sons. If there was a conflict between Jiang Yashuang and Chang's mother, Mrs. Jiuzhuang would most likely choose to support her son.
Thinking of this, his mother decided to lower her attitude in the future and felt very angry at the same time: "We have served my wife for so many years, and there is no credit but hard work... The Nineteenth Young Master is too disrespectful to us, right?"
However, it was difficult to express her thoughts. When she returned to Qiu Yilan, she expressed her stance readily - in fact, Qiu Yilan started to take action as soon as she left.
After his mother let go, Su He quietly appeared in front of Zhuang Man: "My young lady said that the fourth lady is ill and you are a niece, and the eleventh young lady is also a niece, so they should go to the fourth room to visit! But now everyone The madam is also ill, and the eleventh young lady dare not leave without the elders’ instructions... "
When she said this, Zhuang Man asked anxiously: "Do you want me to ask my parents to send someone to pick up my sister from the first room, and then we go to the fourth room to visit my aunt? I have long said that we should do this! How about Mrs. Dou's treatment of my sister?" It’s not good at all. Now that our biological aunt is back, why can’t we visit her?”
"... The Young Madam said that she wants you to ask the Eleventh Young Madam to send a message to the Eleventh Young Master!" Su He said speechlessly, "My cousin, let me tell you the truth: the Eleventh Young Madam is the daughter-in-law of the eldest family after all. Now, The Eldest Madam’s situation is related to the Fourth Madam. The Eldest Master and the Eldest Madam haven’t spoken to each other, so it’s probably very difficult for her to visit the Fourth Madam in the future. But it’s reasonable for her family to send someone to tell her.”
"Young Madam, I have something urgent. I hope that Young Master Eleven can help me. Of course, it must be kept secret!"
