Chapter 75 The real daughter, she quit (21)

Sure enough, news spread that Mrs. Zhao was sick and bedridden in Qingsongyuan the next day.

After having breakfast, Haiyao went to Fuyuan to pay her respects to the old lady as usual, and happened to meet Mrs. Song who had a nose that was not a nose, and eyes that were not eyes.

"Yesterday I just asked her to go to the Zhou Mansion for Sister Zhen's marriage, but she fell ill early this morning. What is her plan in mind, and who is she trying to hide?" Song said, raising her hand with a Pazi wiped away the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes: "My poor sister Zhen, such a good marriage will probably be ruined by my aunt!"

And Wu Xiucai, who was sitting on another chair, looked up and saw Haiyao who had already entered the courtyard. After coughing moderately as a reminder, he picked up the cup at hand and took a sip of tea.

"Greetings to grandma." Haiyao bowed her knees to the old lady in front of her with a normal face, and then her eyes fell on Song Shi: "What interesting things did my aunt just say to my grandmother? I heard your voice from far away!"

Mrs. Song seemed to look down on her as a junior, she curled her lips slightly and said nothing.

Seeing this, the old lady stopped holding the prayer beads in her hand, slowly opened her eyelids and asked, "I heard your mother is sick?"

"Going back to grandma, my granddaughter just stopped by Qingsongyuan on the way to Fuyuan to have a look. Mother is indeed ill." Haiyao responded respectfully.

"Yo, then you have to ask the doctor to come over and take a good look at it. The second child's body has always been delicate, so don't delay." Song continued to be sly and said: "You should often persuade your mother to relax her heart when you look back. There are nine out of ten unsatisfactory things in the world, but sister Zhen is still waiting for her aunt to recover and go to Zhou Mansion."

"The doctor has invited her a long time ago, and not only prescribed a lot of medicines, but also advised her to rest in bed." Haiyao seemed to be unable to understand the hint in the other's words, and even expressed gratitude: "Thank you for your concern, auntie, This is an old problem for mother, as long as she takes care of her for a period of time, she will naturally get better."

"A period of time? How long is that?" Song's expression changed immediately.

"It's more than a month anyway."

Before her words fell, Song Shi wailed for a while. This person was accusing Zhao Shi of disregarding the friendship of the same clan and trying to force their mother and daughter to death.

With such a crying appearance, it seems that she completely forgot that in this main hall last night, she and Wu Jinzhen once said that it doesn't matter if there is no help from Mrs. Zhao, and Zhou Zhoulang will soon ask his mother to come to propose marriage.

"Okay." The old lady frowned tightly, interrupted the woman's crying, and then stood up with the support of the old woman beside her: "Since the second child's body is unwell, my mother-in-law Naturally, I will go and have a look, old man, if you want to go, you can go there with me and talk to her."

Mrs. Song stopped the crying without tears immediately, Wen Yan stepped forward to support the old lady's other arm very attentively, looking at the expression on that face, it should be that she couldn't wait to move forward. Go to Qingsongyuan to expose Zhao's 'lie'.

After realizing the intentions of the two, Haiyao still stood where she was, and at the same time showed embarrassment: "Earlier, the doctor gave special advice, saying that since my mother is recovering from illness, too many people should not visit her, so as not to waste her mind. I'm afraid that I will blame my grandmother for my illness again, wouldn't that be a sin."

Such obviously evasive words immediately cheered up Mrs. Song, and even said that she had to take the old lady to Qingsongyuan to find out.

Seeing that they couldn't be stopped at all, Haiyao could only silently follow the two out of Fuyuan.

When everyone walked near the Qingsong Courtyard, they could vaguely smell a bitter taste in the air, and as soon as they stepped through the gate of the courtyard, what greeted their eyes was a scene of chaos.

On the ground under the porch of the main house, there are many sets of medicinal herbs drying there. The door of the small kitchen on the west side of the yard is also wide open, and two maids can be vaguely seen fanning around the stove. The fan guards the dark brown concoction boiling and tumbling in the casserole above.

Mrs. Song's originally determined expression gradually became suspicious, until several people entered the main house one after another, and saw Mrs. Zhao lying pale on the couch.

"Mother?" Mrs. Zhao opened her eyes weakly when she heard the movement in her ear, and after seeing the old lady's old face, she struggled to sit up: "Why did you startle me?" Come here? My daughter-in-law just caught cold last night, and she will be fine in two days."

The old lady sat down on a chair some distance away from the bed with a grumpy face, and then sighed heavily: "Why are you so careless? The servants in this yard should be severely punished." , even serving the master is inappropriate, so what's the use of keeping it?"

As soon as the words came out, the maids and wives who were guarding the door did not dare to raise their heads, for fear that if the master's temper was not in his favor, he would be hurt.

Song's eyes rolled, and she opened her mouth with an inexplicable expression: "But why did I just hear that girl Haiyao say that you have an old problem?"

"Wind-cold is naturally not an old problem, but it will inevitably make you feel uncomfortable. If you can't sleep well at night, you will have heart palpitations. The heart palpitations will cause shortness of breath. After walking two steps, you will be panting for a long time. This is an old problem. " As Zhao Shi said, he suddenly took two quick breaths of air as if he was having difficulty breathing, and at the end he let out a somewhat frightening 'ho ho' sound from his throat.

This scene successfully made the old lady turn her head to the side in disgust. Mrs. Song also pulled out her handkerchief, and stepped back half a step to cover her mouth and nose.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhao looked like she would roll her eyes and faint at any time, perhaps these two people also felt unlucky, so they only stayed in the main house for a while before getting up and leaving.

That night, Wu Xiuyuan returned to the mansion from the Imperial Academy. First, he went to Fuyuan and was filled with a big bowl of ecstasy soup by the old lady, but when he returned to the yard, he saw his wife, who was indeed seriously ill. After the talented person's pale face, he swallowed back the words that rushed to his lips.

It's not too late to wait until the illness is cured, Wu Xiuyuan comforted himself like this.

I didn't expect this one to be too late, half a month has passed.

During this period, Haiyao witnessed in the mansion that the mother and daughter of the Song family were relatively calm at the beginning, and gradually became irritable.

Rumors began to spread in Beijing, even if Wu Xiucai's family was not a native of Beijing, those unpleasant words would reach their ears as expected.At first, no one took these gossips to heart, until Wu Zitian, who had been sent to the academy some time ago, returned to the Wu Mansion during his break, and opened his mouth to blame Wu Jinzhen for causing him to be ridiculed behind his back by his classmates.

Mrs. Song and Wu Jinzhen didn't realize it until now, but it's a pity that Mrs. Zhao still hid in the Qingsongyuan from morning to night, and every time she showed people that she was about to lose her life, even saying a few more words would make her tired. It's a long time to ask a doctor to go to the house.

The mother and daughter had nowhere to vent their anger, making troubles between Fuyuan and Luyuan all day long, and in the end even the old lady, who had always been biased, used the excuse of migraine to directly call Fuyuan The door of the house was closed, and an out-of-sight, out-of-mind came.

But to everyone's surprise, after two days of tossing like this, Wu Jinzhen changed her previous routine and suddenly survived.

The so-called abnormal must have a demon.

"As the girl guessed, Ms. Zhen has often gone out of the house lately, and she did go to see Mr. Zhou." On a sunny afternoon, Chunxi accompanied Haiyao for a walk in the garden, sharing the story of the past. The latest news heard by Butler Wu.

Haiyao nodded as expected, presumably Zhou Zhoulang made some other promises, which temporarily calmed Wu Jinzhen's restless heart.

"It's been 24 five days now..."

"Girl, what are you talking about?" Chunxi asked curiously.

"It's nothing, I just feel that the weather is getting hotter, and my mother's illness is about to get better!" Haiyao replied lightly.

Then she casually picked off a blooming rose flower, with a very meaningful smile on her face.
