After Concubine Xiao and Rong Yue returned to the guest house, Rong Yue asked curiously, "Why did you stop me today? Your Highness the Crown Prince was also invited by you?"
Song Zhan is busy with official duties, and Rong Yue can't think of anyone else who can take time out of his busy schedule, except Xiao Concubine.
Concubine Xiao covered her mouth and smiled, "Don't worry, just wait and see the show."
Seeing Xiao Concubine's cleverness, Rong Yue couldn't help but also smiled, and simply let Xiao Concubine do what she wanted.
After the two settled down, Concubine Xiao ordered someone to guard the yard, and no one was allowed to come in. Every meal was checked carefully, not afraid of 10,000 but just in case. If Mrs. Zhang was angry and couldn't think about it, she might do something.
Rong Yue was thinking about Mrs. Rong in her heart, but unfortunately, she couldn't see her face, and her brows were full of worry.
"Don't worry, you will be able to see Mrs. Rong in two days. Although Mrs. Rong is weak, she is not as exaggerated as the doctor Fang. As long as General Rong is willing to take care of her, she will definitely recover."
What Xiao Concubine didn't say was that Mrs. Rong was actually poisoned, and she was not weak due to extreme anger and heart attack as Zhang said.
It was deliberately made by Mrs. Zhang, otherwise they would not have stopped everyone from visiting. Firstly, it was for the power of the family, and secondly, they did not want Rong Ling to keep her filial piety.
"Ms. Zhang must not dare to do anything these few days, and she is still busy taking care of Rong Ling. What happened to the old lady, wouldn't Rong Ling's blood flow in vain? Mrs. Zhang hopes that Mrs. Rong will hurry up more than we do." Get better."
Concubine Xiao had figured out what Zhang Shi was thinking, Rong Yue would not give up if Mrs. Rong did not see her well for a day, and if something was found out by then, Zhang Shi would definitely be in trouble.
It's better to let Mrs. Rong get better as soon as possible. There will be more chances in the future. Mrs. Zhang is not stupid and won't let Mrs. Rong have an accident at this juncture.
Originally Xiao Concubine planned to take the imperial physician to visit Mrs. Rong, but later Xiao Concubine found that Zhang's eloquence was good and she was very capable of sophistry.
Even if it is involved that Mrs. Rong has suffered from chronic poisoning, she will try her best to clear it up, and even bite back that she is plotting wrongdoing. General Rong will definitely believe in Mrs. Zhang by then.
The best result would be to involve Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang could find two scapegoats, and if she cried a little more, she would definitely be picked clean.
If that was the case, Mrs. Rong's illness could only be delayed, and the root cause would not be cured, so concubine Xiao came to do whatever she could to give Zhang's mother and daughter a little bit of suffering.
There are also Imperial Physicians He and Imperial Physician Fang. Song Zhan dared to disobey an order, which is why today's release came about.
Rong Yue nodded, "I hope that's the case. If grandma recovers, I will still have to settle the debt. If something happens to grandma, I will never forgive the Zhang family!"
Xiao Yu's original intention was not only to save the old lady Rong, but also to teach Zhang's mother and daughter a lesson, but also to help Rong Yue wash away the grievances of so many years of life experience, and to give Rong Yue's mother justice!
This side of the guest house was quiet, but Rong Ling's side was not going well. Rong Ling was woken up by the pain, crying and making a fuss for the maid to remove the gauze, insisting on looking at the wound.
The maid had no choice but to do so, Rong Ling lowered her head and saw her chest. It looked like a fist-sized scar was still bleeding because the gauze was removed and the wound was involved. There was a pair of linings on both sides, one delicate and delicate, and the other strange in shape.
"Ah!" Rong Ling almost fainted from anger, yelled like crazy, and smashed the room to pieces.
"Ling'er!"
Mrs. Zhang hurried in, putting her arms around Rong Ling, "Good boy, this wound will definitely heal. Mother is trying to make a plaster to remove the scar, and it will definitely make you back to normal without leaving any traces."
After some soothing by Zhang Shi, Rong Ling finally calmed down, and as soon as her chest was involved, she felt a burning pain, and soon the blood stained her clothes.
"Bandage the young lady!" Mrs. Zhang hurriedly ordered.
Immediately, a maid stepped forward to clean up Rong Ling's wound. Perhaps she was stronger and hurt Rong Ling. Without saying a word, Rong Ling shook her hand and slapped her. Face, dare not say a word.
"Clumsy, can't even take care of the master, go down!"
Mrs. Zhang waved her hand towards the little maid, and immediately asked the big maid who was close to her to help treat the wound. After tossing around, Rong Ling was already in pain and sweated, and her clothes were completely wet.
"Ling'er, you are weak now, and it's time for you to recuperate, so don't get too excited, and watch carefully for the wound to burst open."
With Zhang's soft voice persuading, Rong Ling's mood gradually stabilized, suddenly Rong Ling seemed to think of something, and grabbed Zhang's arm.
"Mother, where is Your Highness?"
Mrs. Zhang smiled, "His Royal Highness left. Before he left, he specially asked you to take good care of your body. Afterwards, he sent a lot of supplements. It can be seen that your crime today was not in vain."
When Rong Ling heard this, a smile appeared on her frail little face, her eyes were full of shyness, she lowered her head tightly, "This crime should be paid for, otherwise..."
Rong Ling hesitated to speak, the smile on her face was a little more chilly.
"Ling'er, how are you?" General Rong heard that Rong Ling had woken up, so he came over to visit him.
Rong Ling returned to her usual cuteness, bit her lips tightly and shook her head at General Rong, "Ling'er is fine, but the wound still hurts, father don't need to worry, Linger can still bear it."
Rong Ling pretended to be strong, which made General Rong even more sympathetic, wishing to send all the treasures in the world to Rong Ling.
Rong Ling looked at General Rong worriedly and obediently, "Father, how is grandma?"
"Take good care of your body. You don't have to worry about your grandmother's affairs. The doctor Fang has already given your grandmother medicine, and the results will be finished in three days."
General Rong looked relieved, the youngest daughter was well-behaved and sensible, and it was worth his pains.
Rong Ling forcefully forced a smile, "That's good, Ling'er hopes that grandma will get well soon, father can feel at ease, and eldest sister can get married with peace of mind."
When mentioning the eldest daughter Rong Yue, disappointment flashed across General Rong's eyes, Rong Ling saw it clearly, and felt more and more proud.
"Prepare some supplements for Ling'er. If you need anything, just go to the warehouse to get it. Ling'er, take a good rest, and I will visit you tomorrow for my father."
General Rong didn't want to mention Rong Yue too much, so he left after instructing Mrs. Zhang a few words.
After General Rong left, the smile on Rong Ling's little face immediately sank, "Hmph! This bitch made me suffer such a crime for nothing, I will never forgive her!"
Mrs. Zhang hurriedly comforted Rong Ling, "Don't worry, let's talk about this matter slowly. The most important thing is to take good care of your body first. Rong Yue will return to Dongming after staying for a few days. There will always be a chance when you travel all the way. .”
When Rong Ling heard this, her eyes narrowed into slits, her mood became much better, and even her injuries didn't hurt so much.
"Thank you for your mother's success. Ling'er understands that her status is not as good as before. If something happens in Rong's residence, we can't explain it."
Mrs. Zhang nodded, "That's the reason, you just need to understand it."
Rong Ling snorted, her heart was full of Song Zhan, as long as she could marry Song Zhan, she would be willing to suffer another heart-wrenching pain.
Presumably in Song Zhan's eyes, she should be the most filial and benevolent girl in the world. After this time, Song Zhan will definitely be moved by herself.
next day
Rong Ling woke up early, but the wound was still so painful that she couldn't turn over, even breathing was painful.
"cousin!"
A woman hurriedly walked in the door, looking at Rong Ling worriedly.
"After hearing about the Rong family early this morning, I couldn't wait to come here. You are so bold. You scared me to death. How are you doing? Are you feeling better?"
The woman was Zhang Xin'er who accompanied Rong Ling in the restaurant that day. She was the daughter of Zhang's eldest brother, one year older than Rong Ling.
Rong Ling was worrying about being bored, when Zhang Xiner came, she couldn't help but vomit bitterly, "The pain didn't go away overnight, the doctor said at least half a month in bed before I could get out of the ground, and it would take at least two months to recover."
On the other hand, Zhang Xin'er's eyes lit up, and she looked excited, "Cousin, do you know that the outside world is spreading now, all about your deeds, it is Sheng Jinggui who allowed the second girl to be kind, pure and filial, to cut out blood to save her relatives?" A role model for women."
Rong Ling couldn't help being happy when she heard it, "That's an exaggeration, isn't my cousin looking for me?"
"I can still lie to you. You can ask any maid to go out to inquire about it. Who doesn't know the name of Miss Rong Er? Before I came, my grandmother asked me to bring you some supplements. Now it's not ordinary. Everyone is a lady."
Zhang Xiner's tone was flattering and flattering, she was always sharp-tongued, she picked out what Rong Ling liked to listen to, and Rong Ling couldn't help laughing out loud, and when the wound was involved, she gasped and didn't dare to laugh presumptuously.
If Rong Ling can soar into the sky, Zhang Xiner can also benefit from it. With Rong Ling's status, it is not a problem to marry a high-ranking official.
Zhang Xiner seemed to have thought of something, rolled her eyes, pretended to be surprised, and said, "I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also came to the Rong Mansion yesterday, and brought several imperial physicians with him, and stayed there until the afternoon before leaving the Rong Mansion. I'm busy with official duties, even if the empress is sick, I don't spend much time with her, instead I spend an afternoon with my cousin... "
Zhang Xiner hesitated to speak, but what she said made Rong Ling overjoyed, her small face was beautiful and picturesque, and she didn't look sick at all.
"Cousin, don't talk nonsense. You dare to spread rumors about His Highness. Yesterday, His Highness may have official business, but it's not what Cousin thinks."
Rong Ling said so on the lips, but she was very proud in her heart, the prince came here specially to visit her.
Zhang Xiner covered her mouth and smiled, a look of jealousy flashed in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared, "Cousin, why hide it? Cousin is very beautiful, and she is the daughter of a general, and His Royal Highness always likes generous and decent women." , coupled with the current reputation of my cousin, how can His Royal Highness not be tempted?"
As she said that, Zhang Xiner said again, "His Royal Highness is not young anymore, and the Empress is also planning to help His Highness arrange a marriage recently. Now the whole city knows Miss Rong Er's name, and some people say in private that when the Empress heard about her cousin's act, I am very touched, now everyone in the city does not know that the position of the crown princess is none other than my cousin."
Rong Ling was even more elated when she heard the words, her eyes were full of surprise and joy, "Cousin..."
"What I said is true. As long as my cousin takes good care of her body, this marriage will definitely be put on the agenda as soon as possible."
Zhang Xiner has always been good at talking, and Rong Ling was ashamed and happy to coax her. When she was in a good mood, she waved her hand and gave Zhang Xiner a whole set of newly made ruby tiaras.
Seeing this, Rong Ling's personal servant girl couldn't help curling her lips. Every time Zhang Xiner came, she would always take something with her. She had just brought back that set of ruby headgear, and Rong Ling had never worn it once.
When Zhang Xiner saw the jewelry, both of Zhang Xiner's eyes glowed green, and she worked even harder to please Rong Ling.
"My cousin will become a princess in the future, but don't forget about my cousin. My cousin has nothing else to ask for, as long as she can have a decent marriage and not be underestimated."
Zhang Xiner is shameless, a girl who talks about her marriage is not ashamed.
Rong Ling enjoyed this feeling of being praised very much, and found the long-lost sense of superiority, and felt superior to others.
"What did cousin say, you and I are sisters, who would dare to underestimate you!" Rong Ling replied shyly.
"Then I would like to thank my cousin for taking care of me." Zhang Xiner wanted to please her, so the atmosphere between the two of them was harmonious.
Zhang Xiner said a few more words with Rong Ling, and then left the Rong Mansion with the makeup box in her arms, while Rong Ling glanced at the servant girl.
"Go out and inquire about what's going on outside, and inquire carefully."
Rong Ling was still worried, she had to ask the servant girl to inquire about it herself.
"Yes, servant girl is going now."
In the afternoon, the maid came back in a hurry, with a happy face, "Miss, what Miss Biao said is true, and now everyone is praising Miss's filial piety."
Rong Ling was completely relieved when she heard that, and a bright smile appeared on her face.
After a while, a servant girl came over, "Miss, several matchmakers came to the house to propose marriage. Most of them are sons of Hou Menbo's house. The general is busy with them."
Rong Ling smiled even more when she heard that, "Hurry up and invite mother over here."
The little maid groaned and ran away.
After a while, Mrs. Zhang came in with a smile all over her face, "Ling'er, are you feeling better today?"
Rong Ling nodded, "Mother, don't worry, your daughter is fine. Mother, are there many marriage proposals here?"
As soon as this was mentioned, Mrs. Zhang couldn't stop smiling, and straightened her back, "Isn't that right, the matchmaker almost trampled the threshold of our house, and they came to the door one after another, and everyone wanted to marry her." You married into the family, and all of them are among the best in Shengjing City, and your father is busy receiving them."
In the past, Zhang's lack of confidence, without the support of her natal family, inevitably lacked confidence in front of those serious noble ladies, and sometimes she couldn't intervene at all.
Even for some important gatherings, Zhang's invitation was not given at all, and she was disgusted with her humble background, and even Rong Ling was wronged, and the matter of finding her husband's family was always delayed.
"My mother received a lot of invitations this morning, including those from the princess and the princess house. In the past, there was no mother's share, but now it's all thanks to you..."
Rong Ling was not in the mood to listen to this, grabbed Zhang's arm, and asked nervously, "Mother, which family will father agree to?"
Why doesn't Mrs. Zhang know what Rong Ling is thinking, and comforted her with a smile, "Don't worry, as long as it's not a marriage proposal in the palace, your father will not agree to any of them."
Rong Ling laughed when she heard this, and Mrs. Zhang pulled Rong Ling and said with a smile, "You and Your Highness are a match made in heaven, how can mother not know your thoughts, don't worry, mother has inquired about it, the empress empress treats you this way I highly appreciate this time cutting out blood to save relatives, the marriage between you and His Highness is destined."
With the jewel in front of him, no matter how good the family is, the Zhang family can't look down on him. Besides, Song Zhan has nothing to choose from in terms of appearance, status and status. He will be the only heir in the future. The more noble woman you are.
So Mrs. Zhang didn't even read the invitation, and directly declined it.
"Mother is doing things, so my daughter can rest assured." Rong Ling said shyly.
"You don't have to worry about recovering from your illness. When you recover, everything will be on the agenda."
Zhang-shi smiled to comfort Rong Ling, Rong Ling nodded obediently, and then Zhang-shi was called away by the maid to deal with the front.
Rong Ling closed her eyes contentedly, and slept peacefully and soundly.
Every move in the mansion was never hidden from Miss Xiao, and she was not in a hurry at all, instead there was a smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Look at the weather, there should be a storm, you should wear more clothes." Rong Yue said with concern.
"Yeah, the storm is coming soon." Xiao Concubine shrugged and smiled mischievously. Rong Yue looked at Xiao Concubine with a slightly doting gaze, taking care of her all the way, really looking at the child like an adult.
In the early morning of the next day, Imperial Physician Fang arrived as scheduled. General Rong, Mrs. Zhang, and Concubine Rong Yue and Xiao Concubine were waiting at the door.
Doctor Fang came back after going in for more than an hour, with a solemn expression on his face.
Zhang's inexplicable eyelids twitched, with an ominous premonition.
"Doctor Fang, how is my mother's condition?"
Doctor Fang glanced at General Rong, "I wonder if the general can take a step to speak?"
General Rong nodded, and the two went to the small pavilion, and the doctor Fang finally said with difficulty, "Mrs. Rong took the medicine Yinzi and it didn't work at all, and her body hasn't improved at all."
General Rong was very disappointed when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask, "How could this happen, what went wrong?"
The Imperial Physician Fang hesitated to speak several times, not knowing how to speak, General Rong said, "There are no outsiders here, the Imperial Physician may speak up if you have anything to say."
After a long time, the Imperial Physician Fang said, "This old man dares to guarantee with his life that there is absolutely no problem with the prescription, it's just the introduction of this medicine..."
"how?"
"The occurrence of this situation shows that the two people are very likely to have no blood relationship!"
