Because as the child's biological mother, she had once neglected the child, so it was simply a pipe dream to learn about the situation during that period from these close relatives. Of course, I could only ask the maids and wet nurses who served the child.
As a result, Xiaocao was told that the person who served the child was fired because the child had problems.
It is normal for the servants to be blamed when the master is not taken care of, but in this matter itself, they should know where the problem lies, and they are also angry with the servants. This... really makes me want to swear.
Xiao Cao was so angry that she laughed, "Last time I was able to coax the child and get him to communicate with me, but now, you close relatives know nothing, and those who know are no longer around. Do you know that in a child's situation, if he were surrounded by familiar people, the situation would be better, but if they all become strangers, it will only cause him to panic and become anxious, and he will not know how to reflect on himself, but will do stupid things."
The family was scolded until their faces turned red, but no matter because of their identities as herbal doctors or princesses, they didn't dare to say much at this time. They just lowered their heads and kept silent.
The child's mother, however, anxiously and carefully discussed with Xiaocao, "Princess, some of them were exiled to the manor, and some were sold. The people in the manor should be able to be recalled, but the manor is quite far away, so it may take a few days. Can you please give us some time? We will do it as soon as possible..."
The clearer the understanding of the situation, the more beneficial it would be to the condition. Xiaocao nodded in agreement.
When his father turned around to make arrangements, Xiao Cao stopped him, "You stay here and let the others go. The servants who came with you can just pass on the message. When it's time to do it yourself, you guys aren't very active."
Originally, he just felt that Princess Anguo was not easy to deal with and wanted to find a chance to avoid her, but in the end he failed.
Fortunately Xiaocao didn't know what he was thinking, otherwise he might have really taken action to deal with him.
"But can I ask what happened that made Madam ignore her own children to this extent?"
After these words were spoken, not only was the mother speechless, but the father was even more ashamed.
At this moment, Xiao Cao's mind was working very fast. She laughed, and was particularly sarcastic. "So, it's about those little things in the backyard again? You're fighting with other women for a man who doesn't care about your feelings, and you don't care about your children. He's so important, why do you have children? Oh, I forgot, women need children to consolidate their status after getting married. If you meet a man who is not good enough, it's miserable to have children, and it's even more miserable to have no children. This child is just a tool..."
What Xiaocao said is really a bit...
According to her, 90% of the people hit by this stick are within the range.
The man's face turned pale. "Princess Anguo, what you said..."
"Shut up, I don't want to listen to you." Xiao Cao was obviously a little angry now. "Some people say that I became arrogant after I became successful. It's not wrong to say that. For example, now I want to scold you, so what can you do to me?"
At this moment, it seemed as if he finally felt the benefits of his identity.
Not to mention, this kind of Xiaocao really surprised Madam Zhen and Princess Duan. In their cognition, Xiaocao was a serious person. When treating patients, he was serious, careful, thoughtful and considerate. In normal times, he was also gentle and kind. It was the first time they saw him being so sarcastic. However, seriously speaking, his original intention seemed to be for the patients, for the children, and for other women as well. It was clear that he was disappointed in his patients.
However, there are some things that, given her current status, she has to say even if they are excessive. Although the privileges granted by status and position should not be used to do whatever one wants, one should be cautious at all times and not use them. So, why should one fight for that right? Therefore, one should use it when necessary.
"Princess Anguo, why should you get angry over some irrelevant people? It's not worth it to get angry." Madam Zhen advised.
Xiao Cao exhaled, "I am being nosy. However, there is one thing I still need to say. This child's illness can be seen as a kind of 'mental illness' rather than a physical one. Over time, the body will definitely be affected, so the treatment still depends more on you. I can only provide assistance. Of course, this will be a long process, and it may not be effective if you persist. You must be mentally prepared. You can give up on him and not treat him. Just treat him as a wooden man. He will not be hungry or cold, and he will live as long as he can. Anyway, he is gone, so just keep giving birth. It's such a simple thing."
Even if she mocked them again, the family just had bad faces and dared not say anything. Judging from Princess Anguo's attitude, if they really gave up the child, who knows how much they would hate them. Given her current influence, being hated by her would not be worth it. Even if they had some thoughts in their minds, they would not dare to do so.
However, the mother's body was a little shaky, and she kept mumbling, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault..."
"Okay, stop talking about these useless things." Because there are many guests at home today, if it is other diseases, it's fine, but autism is a problem that cannot be cured overnight, so Xiaocao does not plan to spend today on the child, so she directly tells them what to do. When the person who took care of the child comes back, let her understand the situation more specifically and make more detailed arrangements. In addition, she also prescribed auxiliary treatment medicine. At the end, "My second aunt's family, the Du family, originally had a child who was considered stupid. You should know about it, right? Your child has the same disease as that child, but that child was younger when he got the disease, so he was considered to be born stupid. In fact, the symptoms are milder than your child, and he still responds when guided. The Du family later actively treated him, and now the child is almost well and lively. You can go talk to them, it may be helpful."
The whole family was naturally grateful and expressed thanks profusely.
After Xiaocao sent the people away, she was still in a bad mood. Princess Duan and Madam Zhen had seen a lot of things going on in the inner house, so they comforted her and told her not to take it too seriously.
Princess Duan even joked, "Now the Prince of Pingyang still has to rely on you, Anguo. Even if you marry him in the future, you will have the emperor's support. The Prince of Pingyang will never dare to do anything excessive."
Xiao Cao smiled suddenly, "These things don't require the support of the emperor. It's just a simple matter of cleaning up one person."
Upon hearing this, Princess Duan and Madam Zhen looked at each other and felt a chill on their backs. An Guo was such a great doctor and his use of medicine was superb. It seemed that she could easily deal with him without anyone knowing. In their hearts, they silently mourned for the Prince of Pingyang. Seeing that An Guo was disgusted with this kind of thing, they hoped that he would take it easy.
So they didn't say anything.
Today is Wen Renying's wedding day, so Xiao Cao naturally won't worry about these things for too long and quickly cheers herself up.
During a wedding, the bride's family hosted a banquet at noon - this resulted in some guests leaving for the two families at noon and in the evening - Xiaocao naturally did not always accompany Princess Duan and Madam Zhen. In fact, when people from Prince Dingbei's Mansion came to visit later, they went together to greet the old concubine. It must be said that after Xiaocao came back, Prince Dingbei's Mansion came to visit the Wenren family quite frequently, and they would come for almost every larger banquet.
The old concubine seemed to be in good spirits.
After the greetings, the old concubine pulled Xiaocao and said, "You have been busy since you came back, and I have only seen you today."
Xiao Cao joked, "It's a good thing not to see me."
"Nonsense! Could it be that you are too ashamed to see anyone except your identity as a doctor?"
"Old Concubine Dowager, I was wrong. I should have paid my respects to you earlier." Xiaocao quickly begged for mercy.
The old concubine couldn't help but smile. "But Mu Bei's leg, I think I'll have to trouble you to take some time to take a look. Doctor Lin said that he has recovered well, but he also said that you were the attending physician at the beginning, so you know the specific situation better."
Xiaocao nodded, "Of course." Before she came out of the palace, her adoptive father had told her that she'd better go and see the patients she had before she left. After all, those people still trust her the most. Doctor Lin was not angry about this, but was very proud. His daughter was amazing. However, because things happened one after another, and it was related to the royal family, and other people were not in a hurry, they had to postpone it. Until now, they haven't had time. Xiaocao's plan was to go after her sister got married. "Originally, I planned to visit each family tomorrow."
"You are thoughtful girl."
He led the old concubine to the inner house.
"Come to think of it, we haven't seen the bride today. Why don't you go and take a look?" Princess Duan suggested.
Everyone knows that the most distinguished guests today actually came for Xiaocao. They were willing to go and see Wen Renying to give her a face, so even Xiaocao was willing to do so.
However, what was unexpected was that at Wen Renying's place, I met a rather surprising person, Li Ruoshui, the most talented woman in the Qi Dynasty. Of course, her current identity is the daughter-in-law of Pingjin Marquis Mansion. What surprised Xiaocao was that Li Ruoshui's temperament had changed a lot. Originally, she was weak and fragile, with eyes that seemed to be always filled with mist, and she looked at everyone with deep affection. But now, the mist has dissipated a lot, and correspondingly, her presence has not weakened either. Not to mention, Xiaocao actually thinks she is more pleasing to the eye this way. Of course, that's all. Xiaocao will never have a good impression of her.
Since she was here, the wife of Pingjin Marquis must be here too. However, when the wife of Pingjin Marquis knew that Xiaocao and Wenrenying didn't like her, she still brought her here. There must be a reason. But seeing that she was standing in the corner, she definitely didn't bring her here intentionally to annoy others. Maybe she had no choice
Seeing them come in, all of them were of noble status, everyone in the room hurried to greet them, and Xiaocao was the first to be greeted.
"The servants didn't tell me when the Madam arrived."
"Ying'er is getting married today, and I, as her stepmother, should have come earlier, but something happened at home, so I was delayed for some time. When I came, the princess was entertaining guests, so I asked them not to disturb the princess and came directly to Ying'er."
The status of the wife of Marquis Pingjin is different from that of others. On this special day today, Wen Renying is naturally the main focus. Of course, the wife of Marquis Pingjin will have this sense of propriety.
Since they came to see the bride, they had to praise her a few words. This was not the first time Wen Renying had experienced this. However, compared to her previous life, the quality and quantity of the guests were completely different. Moreover, this kind of thing probably would not make one feel free to be shy just because they had "experience". In fact, because of her state of mind, Wen Renying still could not resist laughing and lowered her head with a blushing face.
Before she left, the wife of Marquis Pingyang came in. This was not her first time going out for a social event after she came out of the Buddhist temple and took charge of the household again. However, she was now the mother-in-law of the future Princess Anguo, and her status was different, so people couldn't help but look at her and Xiaocao.
The grass was quite natural and generous, and seemed unaware of some things.
Wen Renying's room was not small, but there were quite a lot of people in it, so it seemed crowded. Therefore, no one stayed there for long.
Xiao Cao stayed until the end and pinched Wen Renying's face, "I can't accompany you today."
Originally, if Xiaocao was busy here, it should be Wenren Hui's or her sister-in-law who should be here. However, one sister-in-law was away, and the eldest sister was pregnant with the other sister-in-law, so the closest people could not accompany her.
"Don't worry about this little thing, Fourth Sister. Thanks to Fourth Sister, even though they are not my sisters, there are still many people willing to accompany me today."
Xiao Cao smiled and scratched her nose again. She was about to leave, but suddenly thought of something and moved closer. "Then Li Ruoshui..."
"My stepmother said that something seemed to have happened at home, and she was worried about leaving her at home, so she brought her out. She was still worried about her going somewhere else, so she kept her by her side. After she came in, she let her stand in the corner."
Xiao Cao was also puzzled. What had Li Ruoshui done that made the wife of Pingjin Hou watch him so closely? Whoever met such a restless person would be unlucky.
However, Xiaocao would just ask and it would be over. As long as nothing happened to the Wen family, she would definitely not care.
Xiao Cao didn't stay long before following them out. To be honest, these were the ladies with the most distinguished status today. When they met, they probably just chatted with each other. Over there, Han arranged other things and hurried over to invite them to go to Old Madam Wenren.
At this moment, it seemed inappropriate to continue to let the little girl Xiaocao accompany them. They all smiled and chased her away, going to find other young people to play with.
Xiaocao did not refuse, but when she turned around, she suddenly found that Li Ruoshui was missing. Due to her extreme distrust of her, Xiaocao could not help but frowned. She called the maid and asked them to look for her quickly and confirm her whereabouts.
