Chapter 9: Stunned old lady

Mother Chen took the package of medicinal materials from Cuizhu and handed it to Doctor Wang.

"Doctor Wang, please take a look, what are these medicines for?"

The old lady's uneasiness became more and more intense. She had already guessed what would happen, and still wanted to hear what the doctor said with her own ears.

Doctor Wang stroked his beard, pinched a little bit out of the paper bag, smelled it, took the whole bag over and looked at it carefully.

"Back to Madam, there are safflower, musk, and several herbs for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. If used by pregnant women, it will indeed cause miscarriage."

After Doctor Wang finished speaking, no one around him dared to say a word.

Mother Chen saw something was wrong and secretly gave him some scraps of silver.

"Doctor Wang, I really trouble you to make this trip today. I will take you back."

With that said, Mother Chen sent the man out. On the way, she quietly said to him, "Please treat the doctor as if you don't know what happened today. It's troublesome."

Doctor Wang nodded hurriedly after hearing this. He would not talk nonsense about the affairs of the Shen Family Courtyard.

In the backyard, the old lady led a group of people to find Liu Baoer's room.

Standing outside the door, I heard an unpleasant sound inside.

"Take the prince back to me!"

After saying that, the old lady fainted from anger.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Wei went to the old lady to wait on her.

As soon as the old lady opened her eyes, she saw Mrs. Wei holding medicine beside her and the prince kneeling beside the bed.I was so angry that I almost fainted again.

"You traitor! Go to the ancestral hall and kneel down!"

Wei was so angry that it was rare for him to say harsh words to him.

Seeing Xu Songchi leave, the old lady waved, and Mrs. Wei hurriedly came over and put her ear close to her mouth.

"Tie that... tie up that bitch too... tie him up and bring him back... cover his head with a black cloth so no one can see him."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wei hurriedly went to give instructions to Mother Chen.

"Old madam, don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

When the old lady heard this, she closed her eyes and refused to look at her.

idiot!If you can really get things done, how can you still watch your son become so confused?

From the bottom of her heart, the old lady felt that this daughter-in-law was stupid, unstable, and had no independent opinion.

Mrs. Wei also saw that the old lady no longer wanted to speak, twisted her handkerchief and went out angrily.

Who wants to be looked down upon by her?He served her with good intentions, but she put on a good face.

Looking at Cuizhu standing at the door, he waved her over.

"Please tell me exactly what happened last night. If you dare to miss even a word, be careful with your tongue!"

Wei Shi threatened.

Cuizhu was so frightened that she was about to kneel down. When Wei Shi glared at her, she forgot to kneel down.

He just told the whole story in one go.

"Okay, okay, Liu Baoer dares to scheme against my daughter-in-law! She is so brave! She is so brave!"

After saying this, he asked the maid next to him to reward Cuizhu with a bag of silver.

"This time I count you as meritorious. I have cleared my wife's grievances. I will give you a credit."

Cuizhu was overjoyed and hurriedly caught it. After reacting, she knelt down to thank the reward.

Compared to the hustle and bustle outside, Lan Xiaotang was actually very peaceful.

Lin Qingwu was watering the roses, and Lingying was waiting on her carefully.

"Why haven't you seen Suzulan these days? Why has she gone?" "Madam, she said that her mother was seriously ill at home and she went back to take care of her for a few days."

"Oh, I see."

Lin Qingwu continued to play with the flowers and plants, seemingly not taking this matter to heart.

Lingying opened her mouth but stopped talking.

"Just say what you want to say. Although we are master and servant, we are just like sisters. There is nothing that cannot be said."

"Madam, I heard that the prince was suddenly brought back by the old lady and was locked up in the ancestral hall to think about his past mistakes. No one was allowed to visit. But what a coincidence. As soon as the prince came back, Linglan's mother fell ill. I also heard that the prince was suddenly brought back by the old lady. , Qiaoer in the prince’s room saw Lily of the Valley in the ancestral hall.”

With everything that happened, how could she not be worried?

"Why was the Crown Prince suddenly brought back? Have you heard about this?"

Lin Qingwu put down the scissors and wiped his hands with a wet handkerchief.

"This servant doesn't know. I just heard that the prince made the old lady faint, and Cuizhu and Xiaomei also returned to the Lici Hall to serve."

"Well, then Cuizhu should have told the old lady everything. Hey, at such an old age, I still have to worry about it. Go to the warehouse to get some deer antlers and send them to the old lady to show our filial piety."

Lingying felt blessed and took the key.

In the woodshed of Wudinghou Mansion, Liu Baoer was wearing a black hood. He felt that the thing sitting under him was shaking, the smell of the room was also very unpleasant, and a rag was stuffed in his mouth.

How could she bear such grievance? She just wanted to cry for a moment, but at this time, no one was wiping her tears.

"Mom? Is that you? Mom? Are you in there?"

At the door of Chaimen, a small figure poked his head inside.

It's Engeer!

Liu Baoer wanted to call her, but his mouth was stuffed with cloth and he couldn't speak. He could only whine.

"Mom, I know it's you inside. Don't be afraid. My son will definitely find a way to rescue you."

Xu Zongen's little hands were holding the door, but he couldn't open it even though he tried his best.

This morning, when I was practicing my calligraphy, I heard a noise in front of the yard. I secretly peeked at the door, and saw the woman in a black hood wearing my mother's shoes, and I knew my mother was back.

He followed secretly all the way to the woodshed.

Only after those people left did he dare to get close.

I couldn't save my mother with my own strength, so I had to go back first.

Liu Bao'er only felt sad that his son could see his mother in such embarrassment.

This was a hundred times more uncomfortable than cutting any flesh on her body.

Why?Treating her like this all of a sudden?Why?
Didn’t the old lady say she would take good care of herself?How come this happened in just a few days?
It must be that woman Lin Qingwu who caused the trouble!

Xu Zongen returned to Aunt Mei's yard and saw her sewing shoes for herself.

"Brother Eng, where have you been? My aunt has been looking for you for a long time. Come and try on the newly made shoes for you to see if they fit you."

Aunt Mei signaled the maid to bring a small stool and asked Xu Zongen to sit down and try on the shoes.

Children his age have feet that grow very quickly, and they need larger shoes within a few months.

Originally, he was still at a noisy age, so his clothes cost a lot of money.

Xu Zongen shook his feet. The shoes were made of silk and satin, and were sewn with jade for embellishment. They looked luxurious and beautiful.

"It's really good. Our brother-in-law, it looks just right on me!"

Aunt Mei was very happy. Her mother had taught her these things when she was in the boudoir, but she had never had children and had never been able to use her skills.

I tried to do it this time. Although I am new to it, I still remember the steps.
