24. The old lady changed her face
When the motorcade from Taishi's Mansion returned to the mansion, it was not yet noon, but to Gu Qianxue, it seemed like a century had passed.
As soon as I got out of the car, I heard that ghost crying like a wolf howling, "Daughter, my most beautiful, generous and lovely daughter..."
Needless to say, she is also the original mother Zhao.
Everyone said that Marshal Zhao's only daughter, Mrs. Zhao, was the most idiot, but after a few days of contact, Gu Qianxue felt that things were not that simple. Mrs. Zhao didn't seem like an incompetent idiot, but she seemed to be a sick person.
No matter what, Gu Qianxue felt unusually warm in her heart every time she saw her fat and childish cheap mother.
It seems like a century for her to be in Prince Li's Mansion, maybe it is also a century for Zhao Shi. As soon as her carriage stopped, Mrs. Zhao ran out. She must have been waiting at the door for a whole morning.
"Mother, don't worry, I'm fine." Gu Qianxue also stepped forward to greet her, and just after she finished speaking, she was hugged fiercely by Mrs. Zhao.
Mrs. Zhao was terrified, her chubby face was full of panic, she put her left arm around Gu Qianxue, and patted Gu Qianxue with her right hand in a panic, "My dear Xueer is not afraid, we have your grandfather, my dear Xueer is not afraid." Her round body was trembling.
Obviously trying to comfort others, but Mrs. Zhao was so flustered that she needed someone to comfort her.
Gu Qianxue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to stroke Zhao's huge back, "Mother, don't worry, everything is over, I am safe, everyone is safe."
With Gu Qianxue's comfort, Zhao Shi gradually calmed down and her breathing became even.
At this moment, a servant girl ran over in a hurry, kissed the mother and daughter quickly, and then said, "Miss, the old lady calls you over."
Gu Qianxue gently pushed Zhao Shi away, "The old lady is very well informed, mother, you can go back at ease, I will go to Manfuyuan."
"I'll go too." Mrs. Zhao said hastily.
Qianxue shook her head, lowered her face, "Be obedient, go back to Peony Garden and wait for me."
Seeing this, Mrs. Zhao could only nod aggrievedly, "Understood." Then, accompanied by the servant girl, she walked away reluctantly after three steps.
When approaching the Peony Courtyard, Mrs. Zhao suddenly realized, and slapped her thigh, "Oops, I made a mistake, I should have ordered Xueer to do it. Oops, I forgot what Daddy told me again, Daddy should be angry No, no, no, I have to go back and write a letter to my father to apologize."
Saying that, he lifted his skirt and ran to the room.
Manfuyuan.
As soon as she returned home, the old lady called Gu Qianxue to understand the situation, everything was as expected.
After entering the courtyard, the maids saluted and greeted Gu Qianxue respectfully, Qianxue responded lightly, and then calmly entered the hall.
Mrs. Gu Zheng was waiting for her, and she seemed very worried.
But unlike Mrs. Zhao who was worried about Gu Qianxue's safety, Mrs. Gu was worried about the Gu family. Once Gu Qianxue offended King Li, it would definitely implicate Gu Shangshu and the Gu family.
"Qianxue greets the old lady." Gu Qianxue blessed her lower body and greeted her.
Mrs. Zheng was wearing a pale blue blouse with slanted breasts and cross-necked cut silk flowers, and a dark blue winding skirt underneath, and a brocade-studded shawl of the same color as the skirt. Full of kindness. But this is only on the surface, under the mask of kindness, there is actually shrewdness and power, and Gu Shangshu has not inherited half of those sharp eyes like eagles.
"Come, sit with grandma." She pointed to her side.
The servant girl who was serving at the side had already moved a small carved stool for a girl, and placed it beside Zheng.
In the big family, the people sitting in this position are all extremely favored juniors.
"Thank you, old lady." Gu Qianxue blessed herself again, then calmly walked forward, sat down on the carved stool, nodded and lowered her eyebrows, her manner was elegant, very gentle and easy-going.
Mrs. Zheng nodded in satisfaction, "How about His Highness Li Wang, can I forgive you?" The temptation and vigilance could not be concealed in his tone.
Gu Qianxue lowered her eyes and sneered in her heart. The old lady Gu really judged the situation. Yesterday she accompanied Gu Shangshu to interrogate her three times. Seeing that she was safe and sound today, she put on a loving grandmother's appearance. She was sure that if King Ruoli really pursued it, the old lady might be the first one to kill her relatives righteously.
But when you think about it, you can understand that this kind of official family has a big business, and the old lady has only seven or eight daughters-in-law. Needless to say, the children and grandchildren, the family relationship has long been diluted. Furthermore, regardless of the old lady's character, just say that the real self, Mrs. Zhao, is childish and ridiculous, and the human self is mediocre and self-willed. If the old lady really likes her, that would be weird.
"Back to the old lady, King Li didn't say whether he would forgive me or not." Gu Qianxue said, seeing the old lady's complexion changed instantly, she didn't try to whet her appetite, and said directly, "It's just that King Li has a request from me now, and I can cure Concubine Qin My mother's illness, so King Li can't do anything to me."
Zheng was taken aback, "Cure? How can you cure?"
Gu Qianxue replied, "Yes, but it's just superficial. There was an ancient medical book in my mother's dowry back then, but because it was so tattered, it was not included in the dowry list. I looked through it a few times a few years ago, and there happened to be a disease related to Qin Fei's empress. The disease was similar, so I tried to treat it, but I didn't expect it to have some effect."
Zheng's face was full of surprise, "Concubine Qin's illness? It's a madness that can't be cured by famous doctors all over the country. Can you cure it?"
Don't blame Zheng's dog for looking down on people. In fact, the deity has never shown any medical talent in the past. In other words, apart from being as arrogant and naive as the deity's mother, he has not shown any talent. Therefore, Mrs. Zheng turned a blind eye to what Aunt Pei's mother and daughter did.
"Yes, for the time being, there are some effects." Gu Qianxue replied.
Zheng's voice was a little trembling, "It's not a joke to treat the concubine Qin's illness, maybe..." As he spoke, his old face turned pale.
Gu Qianxue smiled and said, "Qianxue knows the old lady's worries, why not, how about I give the old lady a pulse?"
Zheng Shi didn't expect Gu Qianxue to be so confident, so she nodded after thinking about it for a while. Call the servant girl, bring the pulse pillow, and put your hand on it gently.
Gu Qianxue stretched out her hand, and her snow-white slender fingers cut on Zheng's pulse. Shaoqing raised her head and said seriously, "Does the old lady have symptoms such as dizziness, headache, neck tightness, fatigue, and heart palpitations?"
Mrs. Zheng was stunned, and nodded suspiciously, "Yeah, what's the matter?"
Gu Qianxue understood, "It's not possible to make a complete diagnosis just from the pulse condition. The old lady wait a moment, and I will order Yulian to fetch my medicine box." After saying that, she turned her head and ordered.
Mrs. Zheng was terrified. You know, at her age, her family has a big business, and what she fears most is death. In other words, she hasn't had enough. "Girl Qianxue, is this old man really sick? Is it serious? Will he die? Why did the doctor in the previous mansion come to see him and only said that the hot weather caused the rising fire?"
Gu Qianxue said, "Sickness is indeed sickness. If people eat whole grains, who can be free from disease? As long as they are detected early and treated actively."
While speaking, Yulian had already brought the medicine box, and Gu Qianxue naturally used her homemade simple stethoscope for further examination.
