The days I spend with my mother, I feel more relaxed than ever before.
Rouyao likes to be with me very much, and I am always rude to her because I know that she likes the prince just like I do.
I am always anxious, especially when I see Rouyao, this anxiety is more obvious.
Except for my face, I am inferior to her in everything.
She is better than me in talent, literary talent, character and background.
I remember a young man from a noble family once said to my brother, "Your elder sister is really pretty, but she is really boring. No matter what you say to her, she won't understand."
Rouyao scolded him for what he said, and he didn't dare to come to the mansion anymore.
I don't like Rouyao, but I am touched that she is willing to do these things for me. No one has ever been nice to me, except my wet nurse.
I had more opportunities to go out and see him occasionally.
Many people know what happened afterwards. I put a curse on him and was driven out by my grandfather. I asked my mother for help, but she didn't help me, which made me very disappointed. In a fit of anger, I put a curse on her as well.
Putting a curse on my mother was the worst thing I have ever done in my life. Even when I think about it now, I find it hard to forgive myself.
At that time, I was crazy. I had never wanted a person or a thing so badly in my life. I pursued it regardless of the consequences and by any means necessary.
After I was poisoned by the love-hate poison, he treated me well. I knew that kind of kindness was fake, but I couldn't help but fall deeply in love with it. I got everything I longed for, except for the last step.
If the Empress Dowager had not finally cured him of the poison, and I had married him, how would he and I have ended up living together because of the love-hate poison
I don’t know, but I have no regrets about having loved. I just regret that I hurt the person who truly loves me because of my love.
Later, I saw the way he looked at Xia Zian, and thinking back to the way he looked at me when I was infected with the Love and Hate Gu, it was really different. It turned out that it was not from the heart, so there was still some difference.
Full of love and hate, half of life is gone in the blink of an eye.
I am living a good life now. After all, I have someone by my side who understands me and will never betray me or plot against me. Although he is stupid, in my opinion, he is the smartest person in the world.
It is so nice to have no desires or demands.
Ever since Princess Rouyao opened a clinic in Beijing, Xia Lin and I went to help out.
Xia Lin and I were only responsible for preparing the medicine. We were in harmony with each other and lived a happy life.
In the third year after the prince and Zi'an went to the southern country, a woman came to the clinic. As soon as she entered the door, she looked around with a timid expression.
The doctors were all busy, so I went up to them and asked, "Auntie, are you here to get medicine or to see a doctor?"
The woman glanced at me quickly and asked in a low voice, "I want to ask if I can apply the medicine here?"
I was slightly stunned when I heard that, and looked at her. The clinic did sometimes provide free medicine and medical treatment, but it was only for poor people. Although this woman was not a rich person, she was neatly dressed and had a rosy complexion. She was not the kind of person who could not afford to eat.
"If you want to receive medicine, you can come on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. Alternatively, you can go to the Huimin Office for treatment. The Huimin Office charges a low fee."
The woman hesitated for a moment and said, "I've been to the Welfare Office, but they don't give medicine. The patient must come to the office."
"Then you go in person."
The woman whispered, "It's not me, it's my daughter."
"Aunt, your daughter is sick, why don't you ask her husband's family to treat her? Or maybe you think they are well-off..."
I have become more skillful in speaking in the past two years. In the past, I would have directly told them that you are not someone who can't afford to eat, so don't try to take advantage of me.
"I..." She hesitated for a moment, looking unhappy. "Never mind. I just came to ask, are the medicines administered on the first and fifteenth of the lunar month? Then I'll come back on the fifteenth."
She turned around after she finished speaking, and I heard Xia Lin calling me. I turned around and saw him holding the prescription and said, "Fang'er, did you write this prescription? Doctor Li asked me to prescribe a few more."
"I prescribed it. OK, I'll prepare a few more." I took the prescription and was about to put it into the medicine cabinet, but I saw the woman suddenly turn around and stare at Xia Lin in a daze.
Xia Lin was also a little stunned, "Is it you?"
The woman looked embarrassed. "Why...why are you here?"
"I'm the pharmacist here." Xia Lin said, and subconsciously looked back at me. I saw that he was a little nervous, so I stood there and looked at the woman. After looking carefully, I recognized her. It was Xia Lin's mother.
I had seen her before, but my memory was fuzzy. Plus, after the treatment, I tried to forget as many things from the past as possible.
"You're so capable now?" I could hear her voice trembling a little. She kept rubbing her clothes with her hands, as if she didn't believe it. "You can also dispense medicine?"
"Yes." Xia Lin had nothing to say. Although he was stupid, he was actually very clear in his mind. He knew what the man in front of him had done.
"You are very capable!" She murmured repeatedly, with some desire in her eyes.
"Thank you!" Xia Lin said politely.
I saw that it was Xia Lin's biological mother, so I stepped forward and said, "You just said that your daughter was sick. What was wrong with her? If you don't want to pay for the medicine, I can give it to you."
"I..." She looked at me with a puzzled look, "Will you help me out?"
"Yes." I took Xia Lin's arm.
She stared at us, "You guys?"
"She is my wife." Xia Lin said.
"Ah?" She was very shocked and looked at me in disbelief, as if she didn't understand why I would marry Xia Lin.
Xia Lin changed the subject, "Where's Fang Zi?"
She shivered, took out the prescription from her sleeve pocket, and handed it to Xia Lin tremblingly, "This is a prescription written by a quack doctor. I... I don't have to worry about food and drink, but money... I really don't have it."
"I'll go out." Xia Lin turned and went into the medicine cabinet.
I was the only one standing with her. I looked at this mother-in-law and thought of what she had done to Xia Lin. I said coldly, "This time, the medical expenses will be on my head. Don't come to him again in the future."
"I'm his mother." She seemed very unwilling to say so.
"It has been a relationship since the day you abandoned him. The friendship between you two has been bought out with one hundred taels."
Her lips trembled. "It's not like that. I can't bear to part with him. He's successful now. He must make several taels of silver a month, right? I heard that doctors who prescribe medicine also make several taels of silver a month."
"He has a stake in these clinics," I said.
There was ecstasy in her eyes. I took a step forward and said in a cold voice, "But you have no share. Everything he has has nothing to do with you. If I find out that you deliberately approached him, I will kill you."
She seemed to be frightened by the ferocity in my eyes and took a step back in a hurry, "Then... Wan'er is his sister. She is very ill now and is dying. After all, she is a relative..."
"His only relatives are me and Zi'an. Everyone else is irrelevant."
When Xia Lin came out with the medicine, I put on a gentle smile, took the medicine and handed it to her, "Remember what I said just now, your condition is so serious, if you don't pay attention, you will lose your life."
She stumbled away in fear.
"What's wrong with her?" Xia Lin asked me curiously.
I smiled, looking at the man with clear eyes in front of me, "Maybe you are in a hurry to go back and boil the medicine, but I asked about your condition. If you pay attention, you will be fine. But if you don't follow my instructions, your life will be in danger."
"Oh!" Xia Lin didn't care much. In his heart, those who were good to him were good people, and those who were not good to him were bad people. It was so pure.
