Ten Miles of Red Makeup: The Legend of Ming Yu

Chapter 249 Repayment
Not to mention the Su family, but the son-in-law, son-in-law's father, and the emperor all know about it, and he is still kept in the dark. Isn't he worthy of my daughter's trust?
There was a bad servant girl at the side, and it was hard for Ming concubine to admit his mistake, so she just asked, "Daddy is back in Beijing, why didn't mother send someone to tell my daughter?"

Dingbeihou thought that Ming Concubine and Chu Mochen knew he was back and made a special trip to greet him. After hearing Ming Concubine's words, he thought for a while and said, "Maybe your mother doesn't want you to come back."

Ming concubine was a little confused, didn't the old lady send someone to find her and come back to the door, why doesn't Mrs. Su want her to go back?

Could it be because she said that Chu Mochen was rolling on the bed with painful legs, and Su Shi was worried, fearing that the servant girl would go to the palace to report again, which would be urging her to go back, Su Shi didn't want her to embarrass her.

Sure enough, she is a mother, but she loves her daughter.

Marquis Dingbei was in a hurry to leave the mansion, but it was rare for his son-in-law to come, so he asked the manager to reply, saying that he would go back in the afternoon, and asked Chu Mochen to accompany him to the study to play chess.

Ming concubine took Xi'er to Changhui courtyard to pay her respects to the old lady.

As soon as he reached the second gate, he saw Mrs. Su walking over and said, "Why are you back?"

Ming concubine scolded, "Mother really doesn't want my daughter to come back home, my husband's legs are fine."

Su Shi said, "This time, Mother really hopes you don't come back."

Ming concubine looked at Mrs. Su, and saw that she had a serious face, not joking, but when she saw her, the joy on her face was not fake, so she asked, "What's wrong?"

Su Shi said, "Your grandmother asked you to come back because she hoped to find out the whereabouts of the charlatan and save your second uncle and aunt."

The wounds of the second master and the second wife are getting worse and worse, and the wounds are festering. After the old lady saw it, she didn’t know how many tears shed because of her distress, but the poison under the Ming concubine was overbearing. Please, all helpless.

The old lady chanted scriptures and prayed for blessings, and went to Foguang Temple to offer incense, but she didn't get better. She also learned that Chu Mochen had bought ointment for Miss Shen San of Dongning Hou Mansion, so she pinned her hopes on the quack doctor.

When I came back from looking for concubine Ming, I hoped to find a quack doctor to save the second master and second wife.

Originally, Concubine Ming was very happy to return home, but after hearing what Su said, her good mood dissipated. Fortunately, she thought that the old lady was looking for her for something, so she hurried back home, and was accused by the third wife of not treating Chu Mochen's body as a The thing turned out to be to save the second master and second wife.

She didn't kill them cruelly, she was already lenient, she was kind-hearted, and the result in exchange was nothing more than being kind and being bullied.

Yes, the second master is the flesh that fell from her body. When the eyeball hurts, I can't bear him to suffer. What about Wei Ming and Wei Minghui, aren't they the apples of the eye of the Su family?
Ming concubine turned around and wanted to leave, but after walking a few steps, she turned her head again, Su Shi looked at her and said, "Why don't you leave?"

Ming concubine took a deep breath and said, "I can't feel angry, and if I don't help, my second uncle and aunt will die of pain later, I'm afraid the old lady will blame me and my mother."

It's fine to blame her, she's married, even if she's half-pissed off, it won't hurt her at all, but complaining about Su, Su's life will not be easy, how can the flesh that fell off other people's body have their own treasure?
Su Shi smiled coldly, "You don't have to worry about mother, mother can't protect you and Minghui, how can you let you wrong yourself."

Mingyu smiled, "It's fine."

It is not certain who wronged whom.

Concubine Ming helped Mrs. Su go to Changhui Courtyard. The old lady sat on the arhat couch drinking tea. When they entered the room, the maid was telling the story in the old lady's ear.

If Ming concubine's guess is correct, the maid should be telling Su Shi to talk to her, and she was about to leave, but then turned around.

The old lady looked at her with uncomfortable eyes. After all, what the second master and the second wife have done is too much. Even a separation cannot make up for the mistakes they made, but she really can't bear them to stay in bed like this.

Putting down the teacup, the old lady looked at Ming concubine, and said with a little difficulty when she spoke, "Your mother told you why grandma came back to you, right?"

Ming concubine's mouth curled into a smile of unknown meaning, "Mother told me, but grandma thinks Ming concubine should help second uncle and aunt?"

The old lady choked, "Your second uncle is your elder after all..."

Just mentioning the second uncle, it seems that the old lady didn't want to save the second wife, or is it that the second wife is a scapegoat?

"Ming concubine really can't remember where they look like elders," Ming concubine said lightly.

Ming concubine's words were very harsh, with thorns in every sentence, and she didn't seem to want to help at all. The old lady also knew that with her temper, it would be difficult to persuade her to help. The old man came here to stand up for Su Shi.

She didn't have that much trust in her grandmother.

The old lady lowered her eyes, Su Shi looked at Ming concubine, shook her head at her, "My concubine..."

It was her hope that she would not help, but if she angered the old lady like this, she would be accused of being unfilial.

Ming concubine took a deep breath and said, "Mother, you are so easy to talk, second uncle and second aunt treat you so well, you still think of your father and grandmother, and plead for them, they just hurt to death, I don't even want to burn it Incense."

Su Shi was stunned. She didn't intercede for the second master and the second wife. How could concubine Ming say that...

Mrs. Su is not stupid. In a blink of an eye, she knew that Ming concubine was putting the credit on her. Ming concubine looked at the old lady and said, "My mother is filial, but I am not so easy-going. I can help, but I have conditions!"

"What conditions?" The old lady asked hurriedly.

A gleam flashed in Ming Concubine's eyes, and she said, "Second Uncle and Second Aunt's biological daughter coaxed so many good things from my mother, I won't talk about those, and it's impossible to ask to come back, but Princess Heng is with me. On the day I returned home, she gave me a favor, and cheated me of a lot of things. I asked her to return the things to me intact. help."

The old lady looked at Su Shi and said, "The 2 taels, you didn't give it to your concubine?"

Before Su Shi could speak, Ming Concubine smiled coldly and said, "It was given to me, but it was given by the Duke, not by Princess Heng. If a biological daughter values ​​a little money more than the life of her parents If it's more important, then I, a niece and daughter who has a grudge, don't have that kindness."

Sitting aside, the fourth wife agreed, "The money should be paid back."

The third wife also nodded.

The old lady had nothing to say, and said, "I'll let the servant girl go to Prince Heng's mansion to spread the word."

Ming concubine looked at the old lady and said, "Qianghu doctor's skills are good, but no one can guarantee that he will be able to cure the second uncle and second aunt. Grandma also knows that he charges 8000 taels for a box of ointment. The consultation fee must be prepared." enough."

Although it was very angry and humiliating, but if it was sent to her door to be slaughtered, is there any reason for her not to follow?
Xi'er stood aside, the corners of her mouth curled up uncontrollably.

Her concubine is going to earn a lot of money again.

Thinking of that quack doctor, the old lady's face was full of pain. A box of ointment would cost 8000 taels, and two lives might ruin her family.

But life is gone, even if you have thousands of dollars, it's useless.

The old lady nodded and said, "Go and tell Princess Heng and the Second Master."

The maid left in a hurry, and the old lady asked Ming concubine, "When will the quack come to Beijing? Your second uncle's voice is almost hoarse from the pain."

Ming concubine didn't answer, she just looked at Su Shi and said, "Mother, can the second younger sister speak? I invited a quack doctor, just to show her."

The old lady's face froze. Although the concubine Ming didn't reply a word, the old lady felt uncomfortable. The second master's voice was hoarse and she felt sorry for her. Wei Minghui couldn't speak for ten years, so who would feel sorry for her?

Of course Su would not say that Wei Minghui was getting better day by day, but said, "It's still the same, and I don't know when it will get better."

Mingyu got up and said, "I'll go see her."

This room made her feel stuffy, and she didn't want to stay any longer, so Su Shi left with her.

After going out the door, she felt that the air was full of fragrance, and Su Shi knew that Ming concubine could not suffer, so she didn't ask about the quack doctor.

An hour later, in Hanyu's courtyard, Ming concubine watched Wei Minghui make the knots. Her hands were dexterous, and she finished every knot in a short while.

Outside, a servant girl came in and said, "Auntie, the servant girl has returned from Prince Heng's Mansion, and brought back the bank notes."

The corner of Ming Concubine's mouth turned into a cold arc, she got up and went to Changhui Courtyard.

As soon as I walked to the screen, I heard the fourth wife sigh, "It's no wonder that Ming Rou got pregnant. There were fake bank notes on the shop, and the shop was sealed up. The seal on it hasn't been removed yet, and the loss of more than [-] yuan has been lost." Two, the emperor has been unwell for the past few days, and he has time to wait, so he must hold her accountable."

No one would be happy to spit out the money she got. What's more, Wei Mingrou has always suspected that Ming concubine exchanged the fake bank notes for the real ones in her shop. I sent the bank note, and now Wei Mingrou will pay another sum...

Stealing chickens won't make you lose rice, losing your wife and losing your army, it's normal to be angry, but if you get angry again, you have to give the money, otherwise the concubine will have a reason to prevaricate the old lady and not help the second master. My wife went to a quack doctor for treatment.

After all, it was her own parents who got to where she is today to help her. She is not cold-blooded and can just sit idly by.
