Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 75 Diagnosis
The goose-feather heavy snow fell one after another, covering the earth with silver, and all things became pink and jade.Even if it was just a rotten tree stump in an old house, now it is wrapped in a snow-white quilt, and it has become a beautiful sight. How magical!Zhiruo sighed, no wonder so many great poets, writers and painters throughout the ages have praised the magnificence and charm of snow.

In the yard, Zhixuan, who was wrapped tightly like a small ball, and several little maids were happily building a snowman. The snowman had begun to take shape, with two black stones as eyes and peach petals forming a high curve. The big bright red mouth.Zhixuan took the carrot handed by the little maid and inserted it into the snowman's big head to make a nose. Then she giggled proudly. The innocent and joyful snow doll was completed in her hands.

Zhiruo also laughed. In fact, sometimes happiness is really simple and not "expensive".It's a pity that there are always so many people who do anything to plunder and possess other people's wealth, regardless of family ties, benevolence, and even face.

Just now, the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion sent a housekeeper to deliver a basket of dried seafood from the south, saying that Mrs. Qiu returned to Luo City yesterday and found out about the Yin family. She was very concerned about Zhiruo and cried with distress. It's been a long time since I had a good night's sleep.

Zhiruo said calmly: "Mrs. Fanqiu is worried! I heard that Mrs. Qiu has been traveling all the way back to Luo City for two or three months. It must have been a very hard journey, so we need to have a good rest. Our siblings are filial piety and it is not suitable for them to do so. I’m out for a visit, and the rumors about the two families are booming now. In order to avoid continuing to bring criticism to the Hou family, I won’t visit Mrs. Qiu.”

The visitor was stunned for a long time and didn't know how to respond. How did Miss Yin know that the old lady came back from a trip?Someone asked about it on the day of the prince's wedding, and the prince's answer was that the old lady had something very important to do in the south and was delayed.

Seemingly intending to clear up the old woman's doubts, Zhiruo continued: "It was also a coincidence that a shop steward of our Yin family happened to be bringing his family back from the south and met Mrs. Qiu and Miss Guifu Biao at Chunhe Temple in Quzhou. , It's just not easy to come forward and pay respects." Just at this moment, Aunt Qiang went to prepare a return gift, and Rudong was sent out by her to tell the little maid to make ginger and jujube tea. It doesn't matter if she talks nonsense.

The mother-in-law's expression turned even uglier. It felt bad to be exposed in front of her, even though it was her master who was exposed.Fortunately, Aunt Qiang came back at this time, gave her the steps, and quickly left awkwardly with a return gift.

Aunt Qiang is also a good thief, and the value of the return gift is exactly according to the basket of dry goods. It is definitely not much, but not much more.

Looking at her mother-in-law's gloomy back, Zhiruo snorted secretly, "Concerned?"Feeling distressed?If she hadn't experienced her previous life, shouldn't she be moved to tears?What a joke!Would such an old woman who talks all about Amitabha but is actually as cold as ice miss her and feel sorry for her?By the way, so far, the old woman has only seen her once ten years ago when she was only five or six years old, right?And it’s less than a quarter of an hour.

By the way, since he values ​​her so much and it's his eldest grandson's wedding day, why doesn't she rush back to watch the ceremony and drink tea with her new wife?It's been almost two months, right?When I came back and heard that they were divorced, I was "concerned" about them. Isn't it ridiculous?You know, Mrs. Qiu went to the south to take Ke Qiaoqiao to make a ten-year sacrifice for her mother (Mrs. Qiu’s daughter). It is said that she came back from a trip and visited relatives. The journey originally only took a little more than a month, which was enough. It took two or three months of walking.

Zhiruo could never forget that during the ten years she lived in the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion, Mrs. Qiu had a look of contempt and coldness on her face every time she saw her. Especially that time after Ke Qiaoqiao fell into the water, she hated her to the core.

Ke Qiaoqiao is Mrs. Qiu's only granddaughter. After her mother died of illness, she grew up with her grandmother, Mrs. Ke. She has plain features and naturally dark and rough skin, but she is Mrs. Qiu's beloved child.At that time, Zhiruo was always thinking, if Qiu Yiran hadn't been too interested in looks and Ke Qiaoqiao was too ugly, would Mrs. Qiu have let him marry Ke Qiaoqiao and get married?As far as Zhiruo knew, as long as Mrs. Qiu persisted, even the objections of Marquis Qingyuan and the Ji family were useless.Once the Qiu family held a banquet, Ke Qiaoqiao made fun of Zhiruo and wanted to make her look embarrassed in public. He specially asked the maid to trick Zhiruo into the garden. He suddenly jumped from behind and tried to push her into the twelfth century. An icy pond.In desperation, Zhiruo used Qinggong to dodge, but Ke Qiaoqiao couldn't hold back his strength and rushed straight into the pond.

Because there were many guests who witnessed what happened, Mrs. Qiu and Ke Qiaoqiao could not frame Zhiruo for pushing her into the water. The most they could do was scold her as a black-hearted and cold-blooded person who even saw Ke Qiaoqiao falling into the water but did not stop her.For this reason, Mrs. Qiu punished Zhiruo to kneel in the Buddhist hall for three days and three nights, with only cold and hard steamed buns and pickles to satisfy her hunger, and not even a blanket...

But having said that, Mrs. Qiu's coldness is not just for her. Except for Qiu Yiran and Ke Qiaoqiao, the old woman seems to be cold to everyone in Qingyuanhou's mansion, including Qingyuanhou, Ji, As well as two brothers and sisters, Qiu Xiran and Qiu Yanran.

Haha, that kind of person is naturally cold-hearted, right?Uh, it doesn't seem right. Zhiruo frowned, always feeling that something was wrong, but couldn't figure it out.It's like being in a snow scene, looking at the vast expanse of white. There is no way of knowing what color it is underneath, whether it is good or bad, unless the snow is peeled off layer by layer.

Just as she was sighing secretly, Gui's mother and Ruchun walked in.Ruchun took Rudong out and stood guard at the door. Gui's mother lowered her voice: "Girl, the doctor took Ruqiu's pulse and it turns out that she is more than a month pregnant." It was really..., it was obviously the first time she went out. I got pregnant when I was still in love. If I had known she would have used such good medicinal materials to replenish her body, it would be such a waste!
"Well," Zhiruo curled her lips. She was not surprised. Ruqiu also won the lottery in one go in her previous life. "No one else knows, right? Did the doctor explain it?"

Gui's mother nodded and replied: "Ruchun has sent people away beforehand. Mr. Li is near our Zhuangzi. After Uncle Qi and the others got here, they always asked him if they needed anything. He is a responsible and tight-lipped person. I tell you After making a sound, he kept saying that he knew the taboos of wealthy families, and it was common for most doctors not to be able to detect the pulse for more than a month. His skill was passed down from family." If the maid did something inappropriate, it would affect the master's family to some extent. Mr. Li used to treat many wealthy families, so he naturally knew that the master didn't want the news to spread, so he would quietly deal with such a maid.

Uncle Qi is a very cautious person. After listening to Uncle Qiang and Mo Wang talking about Ru Qiu and Zhiruo's plan, he knew that Lang Zhong would be used, so he specially sent someone to investigate Lang Zhong's experience and determined that it was reliable. Later, he specially hired Dr. Li as the exclusive doctor of Meizhuang. Regardless of whether anyone was sick or not, Mr. Li would be paid a considerable fixed consultation fee every month. This was also the practice of ordinary wealthy families.

"Did Doctor Li prescribe any medicine?" Everyone knew that the doctor came today because Ruqiu had been feeling dizzy these past few days, and Gui's mother was worried that she had contracted the cold and would spread it to others.

"It's open," Gui's mother replied, "Li Langzhong said that she did suffer from some cold, so she prescribed some mild medicine."

　At the beginning, I haven't adjusted it yet, so I made minor updates too late. Gradually, the number of minor updates will decrease.
