Lady Zhao

Chapter 63

In the cold morning, the mist is pleasant, and the sun can't get through the clouds, so the icicles hang firmly on the eaves of the gray brick and red tiles.

People in Mingxu Garden came to greet one after another, but they were all told that the old lady got up early and went to the side courtyard. Because of the continuous vomiting of Rongchun pregnancy yesterday, the old lady was so worried that she couldn't sleep anymore after learning about it. Mother waited for the palace gate to open and found Aunt Ru who was beside the Empress Dowager, and asked the imperial doctor to come over and see how it was. Everyone couldn't help discussing this matter when they heard it in the morning.

"Aunt Rong is truly blessed to be loved so much by our old lady."

The other maid who was waving a broom stopped, supported the broom pole, covered her hands and let out a breath of heat, and smiled enviously, "The third master finally had an heir, the old lady is caring, if I have one too With such a good fortune, I don’t have to work in this chilly garden anymore.”

The servant girl teased her, "Hey, our third grandma's personal servant girl picked up my aunt, and there is a shortage of people around me. Why don't you go to the third grandma's side as an errand, maybe you can be like Rongchun..."

Hearing this, the maid with the broom blushed in embarrassment, and was about to call her in a bluff, "What did you say, so that grandma would not peel my skin after hearing it? I didn't mean that."

"Then you miss Brother Afu, right?"

The servant girl's face became even redder, "Also said..." That's also the age to leave the house.

Just as they were talking, a person appeared behind them, Mrs. Xu stood gloomily behind the two of them, and listened to their silly and joking words verbatim. A look of resentment and contempt.

Naturally, the hatred accumulated for several days was intended to be released on Rong Chun, but now Rong Chun is protected by the old lady, and she can't move. The funny words of the two maids just exposed Xu's scar. He slapped the maid aggressively, regardless of whether it was Mingxuyuan or not.

"Little hooves, what did you mean by that just now? Huh?" Mrs. Xu gave a light bite, her aura was fierce, and her eyes seemed to kill people.

The two servant girls were so frightened that they knelt on the ground together, especially the one who was beaten just now with a crying voice, "Third Grandma, please forgive me, this slave girl will be confused for a while, so she will speak indiscriminately." The crisp and loud sound of the fan.

Xu's resentment could not be dispelled, so she asked another servant girl to slap her own mouth, and the two servant girls knelt on the cold ground, clapping and crying.

Mother Yang brought the imperial doctor into the mansion. On the way, she happened to meet Mrs. Ye, the Duke's wife, who came to pay her respects. The two walked together, and saw this scene as soon as they came in.

The two maids slapped their cheeks so swollen that they looked like steamed buns. Mother Yang sent her side to follow the maids and take the imperial doctor to the side hospital first, while she stayed behind.

She immediately went up to ask Mrs. Xu that all the maids in the garden were under the discipline of Mama Yang. Although the two rough maids who sweep the floor are not as clever and sensible as the second-class maids in the house, they are still young after all, even if they collide. There is no need for such a harsh punishment.

Gritting her teeth, Xu explained what happened just now, and secretly accused the two maids of plotting to seduce Zhao Hongming, wanting to be like Rong Chun's aunt, and Yang's mother was dumbfounded for a while, but she didn't believe it. Yes, seeing that the tearful eyes of the two maids clearly meant something different, she couldn't help but look at Mrs. Ye. Of course, Mrs. Ye was willing to sell Yang's mother some face, so she said directly, "You two stop now. Hand, there are too many things to do in the mansion, don't delay doing things, and you must not gossip again in the future."

The maids left with great gratitude, and Mother Yang also smiled and asked Mrs. Xu to accompany her. Mrs. Xu, who was still angry, shook her face and went to the side courtyard. Mom, don't take it to heart, you and I know what kind of temper she is."

Mother Yang smiled peacefully, "How could this old slave be angry with his master?"

In the side courtyard room, the imperial doctor looked at the pulse through the gauze tent, and respectfully said to Mrs. Zhao beside her: "Don't worry, Mrs. This embarrassment varies from person to person. The third grandma is just weak and unstable. I think it is often frightened, so it is more obvious. After the old man prescribes a few anti-abortion and health-care decoctions for conditioning, it should be fine, but you must also pay attention to your emotions. Not good."

Mrs. Zhao thought that Liu Yuyi had misunderstood it. He hadn’t been in Beijing for many years and didn’t know that the third room of the Duke’s Mansion was also understandable. Before she opened her mouth, Mrs. Xu stood up angrily and accused her.

The speaker had no intention, but the listener had intentions. The old imperial doctor's words, "The third grandma is only weak", made Mrs. Xu lose face completely, and rushed in front of old Mrs. Zhao to yell, "I am the grandma of the third bedroom of the Zhao family. Are you old and dizzy, what kind of imperial doctor can you do with such eyesight!"

Hearing the words, the old imperial doctor started to slander, and then got angry when someone pointed and scolded him. He turned his eyes and glanced at Mrs. Zhao again. He straightened up and stroked his white beard, as if to say that the Zhao family's family education is like this He entered the Imperial Medical Office when he was a teenager, and he had a good reputation in the palace as the genius doctor Hua Tuo. .

Mrs. Zhao slapped the table and said angrily: "Yu doctor Liu is very old. If the queen mother hadn't been ill recently and invited her from Xingyang, how could she have time to come to our Duke's mansion? This capital sent a letter to invite Liu There are so many imperial physicians visiting the mansion, I wanted Imperial Physician Liu to take your pulse after seeing you here, to see if your body is still recovering."

Physician Liu immediately waved his hand and said goodbye, "As the third grandma said, the old man's eyes are dim, and he can't see her illness, so I will leave now."

When Mrs. Xu heard that the empress dowager had specially invited her as an imperial physician, Wei Wei had heard about his reputation, and her sharp-mouthed aura immediately faltered, and she quickly smiled to accompany Imperial Physician Liu. The harder he got, the more he refused to pay attention to it, so he got up and resigned after writing a few strokes of the prescription.

Mrs. Xu was obviously unwilling, so she begged Mrs. Zhao in a low voice to ask Liu Yuyi to show her infertile body. The old lady is also a person who understands righteousness, and she has said so, what old face does she have? To keep people, I rewarded some silver taels, but Imperial Physician Liu refused to accept them at all. He really left the mansion with ease and refused to stay for a while.

Seeing Xu with an aggrieved expression, he snorted coldly, "You will lose the face of the Duke's Mansion sooner or later. You asked for it."

Everyone knew what the old lady meant, and Mrs. Ye hurried forward to appease the old lady's emotions. Rong Chun also got off the bed at this time, wrapped in a thick jacket, and was helped by Mama Sun who was assigned to serve in the side courtyard. Getting out of bed, although it looked like there were some dark circles under the eyes from restless sleep, but the whole face was brighter and rounder than before.

Mrs. Xu took off her handkerchief and wiped her tears. The more she thought about it, the more wronged she became. All of her resentment surged up all at once, and she blamed the person who got up on the bed strangely, "No one who serves tea and water on weekdays will see you so unwell. Now, it’s sick to eat and drink well, it’s really a golden body.”

When Rong Chun heard this, he stopped in his tracks, afraid to move, "Third Mistress... Slaves..."

Instead, Mrs. Ye smiled and said: "The third sibling has never given birth to a child, so they never knew that the pregnant body is sensitive."

Xu was dissatisfied, "I never gave birth to a child, my child let Zhao Wenwan..."

Before she finished speaking, the old lady stopped drinking, "That's enough, stop making trouble here, let Rongchun have a good rest, old lady, I will leave too."

"Mother, my daughter-in-law will take you there." Mrs. Ye said obediently.

"Ah."

Mrs. Zhao walked to the door, narrowed her eyes slightly, and turned to the motionless Mrs. Xu, "My old lady's words won't work."

Mother Yang hurriedly persuaded Xu Shi, Xu Shi gave Rong Chun a hard look, determined to go back to find Zhao Hongming, how could she be content if she didn't let out the sullen feeling in her chest.

When Mrs. Ye stepped out of the door, she glanced at Mama Sun meaningfully. Mama Sun met her gaze, nodded slightly, and stood aside calmly to send him out.

As soon as they left, Rong Chun covered his face and cried loudly. She was just a lowly maidservant, helpless, and now she had this child by her side, but in case something went wrong... just a Thinking of Xu's cold eyes, Rong Chun couldn't help shaking.

Mama Sun sighed and comforted her, "Madam has a lot of things to do, so I can't always worry about our side courtyard, and the third master... old servant, look at the situation today, only if my aunt has someone to rely on in this mansion, so as to protect this child born."

Rong Chun nodded nonchalantly, and smiled wryly again, "Rely... who in this mansion will protect me."

Mama Sun's expression changed, and she lowered her voice and said seriously, "Auntie, don't underestimate yourself. You are pregnant with the third master's son. This is different from the past. Auntie wants to find someone to rely on, but the old slave can recommend someone. The third grandma can't conceive. You also know the reason for the child, even if you hate that person to death, there is nothing you can do to let it go. If Auntie can get on well with that person, the child will be safe."

Rong Chun stopped crying, his face was confused: "You mean Miss?"

Mama Sun nodded, her eyes glinted with calculations, "Exactly." As the saying goes, the enemy of an enemy is a friend, and Zhao Wenwan's arrogance and arrogance with the third room are the best candidates. I analyzed it with Rong Chun.

"But Missy's temper..." Rong Chun was still quite jealous of Zhao Wenwan, because Zhao Wenwan's previous behavior was so deep in his memory that Xu always gritted his teeth every time he mentioned it.

"Actually, what this old slave means is that you should go to Missy's courtyard more often. When others see that you are close to Missy, they will treat you kindly and don't dare to harm you."

Rong Chun seemed to be woken up, and she planned to get up and go to Xiangzhu Garden, but she didn't think about it, the old lady treated her like this, and she was raised in Mingxu Garden, no one would dare to treat her badly except Mrs Xu, But Rong Chun was really scared, and fell into the hole dug by others in a daze as soon as he was told so.

This room Zhao Wenwan saw a rare visitor, she received them politely, prepared some tea and snacks one by one, Rong Chun was a servant after all, she cringed after a few words and wanted to go back.Zhao Wenwan smiled lightly, and ordered the careful Xueyan to send Aunt Rong out of the garden. If something happened to her at this time, it would be troublesome for anyone.

Baochan felt strange, "What is Aunt Rong doing to curry favor with Miss?"

Zhao Wenwan showed a deep smile, "Someone thinks that the fire between me and Third Aunt is not strong enough, and wants to start another one. When Aunt Rong comes, you can just find excuses, and I won't see you at all."
