Yu couldn't hold back any longer. She reached out and touched her belly. She was overjoyed when she saw the prescription Hailan gave her.
She had thought of ways to deal with Qu Moying before, but her daughter was not doing well now and had not even seen Hai Lan. Because of the punishment these days, there were people at the door, so even if she wanted to let Hai Lan go, it was not convenient.
What bothered her even more was that Qu Zhizhen had been looking forward to the baby in her belly. Even if he didn't come, he would send people to deliver things to her from time to time. But in the past few days, he didn't send anything.
Although Hai Lan said that Qu Zhizhen had been very busy these days, and that the matter of the assassin outside was still under investigation and nothing could be found out for the time being, every official was working on this matter non-stop and was very busy, so the second master had not sent anyone to deliver things to Yu in the past few days.
This statement made Yu feel a little relieved.
"Hai Lan, go to the kitchen and make some soup using this recipe." Yu touched her belly again, a cold and stern look on her face.
Hailan was a little panicked: "Madam, if you really want to do this... If... If..."
Although she had helped Yu do this kind of thing many times, they were all for the concubines in the backyard. She never thought that one day she would help Yu deal with the child in her belly.
"It'll be fine. The amount added is not large. As long as there is a stomachache, it will be fine." Yu shook her head and said grimly, "That bitch has hurt me to this extent. If I don't fight back, I will never be able to get out."
"Madam... that... that's the young master." Hai Lan was still afraid.
"It's okay. Everything was fine at the beginning. The baby in my belly is lucky and blessed. Nothing will happen to him." Yu comforted herself.
"But, Madam..." Hailan was still panicking.
"No problem, just go ahead and do it." Yu gritted her teeth and said, "Apply some of the powder I prepared earlier."
"Yes, madam!" Hai Lan had no choice but to serve Yu for a while, then cleaned up the food and went inside to carefully sprinkle some of the prepared medicinal powder on the prescription and shook it vigorously. After the powder was shaken out, some of it fell off, and the rest was left, just like the original one.
But there is a hint of fragrance, not very obvious, but when you take it and look at it, you can basically smell it, a faint fragrance.
With the recipe in her arms, Hailan carried the food basket to the kitchen.
She came over here and was about to reach the door of the big kitchen. She reached out and touched the prescription in her arms. Her palms were sweating. This was not just a prescription, it was a life.
After calming down with great effort, Hailan took two steps forward. Just as she was about to turn in, she suddenly saw a man rushing towards her from inside. He was running very fast, holding something in his hand. When he saw Hailan coming in, he bumped into her straight away. Hailan saw stars and she stepped back a few steps before falling heavily to the ground.
There was a burning sensation in my chest and abdomen.
"Aunt Hailan, are you okay? How are you? Are you okay?" Yu Dong quickly pulled Aunt Hailan up and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Aunt Hailan, I didn't see you just now. Check if you are injured. Do you want to ask a doctor to take a look?"
Yudong’s soup was no longer the hottest. It was too hot to take when I took it just now. Yudong talked to others and waited until it was not so hot.
Take it when it's hot. Although it's not hot anymore, Yudong is still talking excitedly. After putting the soup in the food basket, he didn't leave and still stood aside chatting.
When seeing Aunt Hailan, Yudong suddenly remembered that the soup would get cold if he didn't go back, so he hurriedly picked it up and left. Unexpectedly, he bumped into Aunt Hailan, and the two of them bumped into each other.
Hailan was indeed scalded, but not burned. After all, the soup was not that hot. Looking at Yudong who bumped into her, Aunt Hailan endured it.
If it had happened in the past, she would have slapped him in the face a long time ago.
But right now, the Fourth Young Miss is much more powerful than the Madam, and at this critical moment, she cannot afford to slap this little maid.
"I'm fine, you can go now!" Aunt Hailan said impatiently. Her shirt was covered with oil stains, and she looked so ashamed. She had to finish her work quickly and go back immediately.
She took out the prescription from her bosom and saw a large stain on it. Aunt Hailan's face changed drastically with anger.
Pian Yudong was still there, "Aunt Hailan's recipe got wet, what should I do? The soup contains mushrooms that the young lady likes, as well as some other seasonings. The flavor is very strong. Is there some flavor on Aunt Hailan's recipe? What should I do? This is still the young lady's favorite recipe."
As Yu Dong was talking, he was still trying to reach out his hand. Aunt Hai Lan's face changed with anger. She stretched out her hand and pushed Yu Dong away. She couldn't hold back her anger any longer and said, "Get out of the way."
Yudong was confused after being pushed. He blinked and looked at Aunt Hailan, as if he didn't understand why Aunt Hailan suddenly got angry.
Hailan suppressed her anger again and waved her hand, "I'm fine, you can go down!"
"It's like this, how can it be okay? Aunt Hailan, I really didn't mean it." Yu Dong said again, and stepped forward to lend a hand to help Aunt Hailan. Seeing that she was really annoyed, Hailan pushed her without thinking and said angrily: "Go away!"
After saying that, he went into the kitchen without looking back and gave the recipe to a maid who was making snacks: "Make a pot of soup for Madam according to the recipe above. Madam has a poor appetite and can't eat."
"Okay, I'll do it right away." The old woman nodded. These days, Yu's meals often passed through her hands. If you think about it, she can be considered as Yu's person and was promoted by Yu. It would be convenient for her to use her at this time.
"Wait a minute, the recipe is stained with soup." Hai Lan stretched out her hand to stop the old woman.
"Don't worry, Aunt Hailan, I can see it clearly." The old woman thought that Aunt Hailan was afraid that she couldn't see the recipe clearly, so she looked at it carefully and replied.
"Look carefully. The teacher is not in good health. We can't be careless." Aunt Hailan originally wanted to remind the old woman that the recipe had a smell, but when she saw the liquid soaked in the recipe, coupled with the strong smell of various ingredients on it, the faint smell from before was no longer there. Even if she put it in front of her nose, she would not be able to smell it.
Fortunately, this is only the first step. Since the recipe was given by the Fourth Young Lady, she can go to the Fourth Young Lady for any problem. Hai Lan had no choice but to say nothing. There was also a maid named Yu Dong who was eyeing her covetously. It was impossible for Hai Lan to explain too clearly, as the old lady would not understand.
"Aunt Hailan, go change your clothes first. I'll stay here to watch over you. I have to make a new pot of soup anyway." Yu Dong said with guilt and panic.
He reached out to take the prescription from the old woman.
"You're not needed." Hai Lan stretched out her hand to stop her. After glaring at her, she gave the maid a few instructions and turned to leave. She really couldn't see anyone like this. She had to change her clothes.
Yudong watched Hailan leave, turned and went into the big kitchen, and asked someone to make another bowl of soup before leaving.
When she left, Hailan had already returned. She stood beside the old woman who cooked for Yu and asked her in detail about what happened after she left. She also glanced at Yudong a few times. This situation continued until Yudong left.
Then Hailan also left.
After Qu Moying drank some soup, he took Yu Dong to the lady's yard. The lady had lunch early and her nap was over by now, so she should have woken up.
Sure enough, when we arrived at the lady's place, she had just gotten up.
Upon hearing that Qu Moying was coming, she hurriedly asked my nanny to take her in.
"Why are you here at this time?" The lady said to Qu Moying with a smile, and waved her hand to invite her to come and sit down.
"I just had some soup and ate a little too much. I couldn't sleep for a while, so I came to see grandma." Qu Moying said coquettishly and sat down next to the lady.
"You're here just in time. I do have something to tell you." The old lady said with a smile. She had not been idle these days. She had taken a fancy to a candidate, the son of her nephew from her mother's side. In other words, he was her grandson. After discussing with my nanny, she thought he was a good candidate.
She will still be in charge of her family members in the future, and her sister-in-law is still around and has good character. If she lets Ying marry into her family, she will definitely treat her well.
"Grandma, what's the matter?" Qu Moying didn't expect that the lady really wanted to talk to him about something, nor did he think about this, so he asked with a smile.
"The marriage proposal of Marquis Yongning was called off, so don't take it to heart." The lady said as she looked at Qu Moying's face. Seeing that she looked okay, she felt relieved and continued, "You are not young anymore, you have to find a marriage. Grandmother has found one for you, and he will come over in a few days. You can take a good look at him then."
When he heard about his marriage, Qu Moying lowered his head and said softly, "It's all up to grandma's orders."
"What do you mean by 'it's all up to me'? This marriage is arranged for you, and you will be the one to live your life from now on. How can you rely on grandma? Anyway, you should see her first and then decide if she is right. If she is not right, grandma will help you find someone else. You have to find someone who is suitable, with good character and good family members."
The lady said earnestly.
Qu Moying knew that the old lady was truly doing this for her own good. After thinking about it, she nodded. She couldn't explain Pei Yuanjun's situation clearly, so she would just take it one step at a time. She couldn't tell the old lady about this right now!
“Thank you, Grandma!”
Seeing Qu Moying being so docile, the old lady felt more at ease and felt that her idea was a good one. The two of them talked to each other in private and were in great harmony.
As they were talking, they suddenly heard louder noises outside, as if someone was shouting and making trouble. The lady looked at Wu Ma unhappily and said, "Go and see what's going on. It's so disgraceful to shout and scream!"
My nanny responded and went down.
Qu Moying looked outside and had an idea in his mind. It seemed that something had happened at Yu's place. It happened so quickly...
