Red makeup against the world

Chapter 418 Good News

Imperial Physician Hu remembered very clearly that when he arrived at the princess's mansion that day, he thought it was a lady who was ill, but it turned out to be a lady from the Xu family whom he had never heard of.She was not qualified to ask the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment, but she invited him because of an accident at the banquet at the princess's mansion.

Later, he heard that this young lady of the Xu family was adopted by Mrs. Zhuang as a foster daughter.But it is not a noble status after all, since Wu Jiao wants to ask about her condition, he is not afraid to speak out.

"Returning to Madam, the lower officials did treat a young lady from the Xu family. According to the pulse, it was because of an accidental fall into the water that caused the invasion of external evils and the entry of wind and cold into the body." Imperial Physician Hu said.

Wu Jiao snorted dissatisfiedly, pushed the letter of silver placed on the table to Imperial Physician Hu's eyes, and said, "If it's just for this, I don't need to come."

Imperial Physician Hu hesitated in his heart, he naturally knew the other party's purpose.But as a doctor, there is an obligation to keep confidentiality for patients.What a tragic thing it is for a woman to be barren. If he speaks out, it may affect the life of the other party.

But the situation is stronger than others, whether it is the Zhongguo Duke's mansion or the Ministry of Rites Shangshu's mansion, he can't afford to mess with it.For a moment, Imperial Physician Hu was at war with heaven and man.

Wu Jiao smiled lightly, and said: "Physician Hu, don't worry, today's matter is out of your mouth and into my ears, and there will never be a third person to know."

Now that she had made the promise, Imperial Physician Hu did not dare to disobey again, and cupped his hands and said, "From the pulse of that young lady, she had a serious illness not long ago. It seems that although she has recovered, the root cause of the disease is still there. This time the falling into the water aggravated the condition , leading to palace cold syndrome. Even if it is recuperated, it will be difficult to conceive children."

After hearing what he said, Wu Jiao was overjoyed, and the corners of her mouth raised up uncontrollably.

Sensing her joy, Imperial Physician Hu was puzzled, this Miss Xu's family couldn't get along with Wu Jiao, why did she come to ask?However, it's better for him not to ask about the affairs of the rich and powerful.

"Okay!" Wu Jiao said cheerfully, "You mustn't reveal anything about today's matter."

"Yes, I went home to rest after I got off duty today, and I have never seen my wife before." Regarding such matters, Imperial Physician Hu is experienced.

Wu Jiao went out, hurriedly left Hu's house surrounded by servants, turned to the next alley, got on the carriage, and went straight to Duke Zhong's mansion.

Mrs. Lu greeted him, and was overjoyed at the news brought by Wu Jiao.

"Sister, from this point of view, Xu Wanzhen is indeed the only candidate."

Wu Jiao nodded. She came from a lowly background as a merchant, with little experience and bad character, and she was used to pretending.Wu Zhengxiang decided to marry such a woman, and then regretted it.

The most wonderful thing is that she can't have children, so Wu Zhengxiang's lineage will have no legitimate sons.Even if the son born in the concubine's room is recorded in her name, this status will be inferior.

Without a son-in-law, what else would Wu Zhengxiang use to compete with Wu Sheng?
Lu Shi also had the same thought in her heart, her husband loves this concubine brother very much, but she has to guard against it.

"It's just that my mother said that Xu Wanzhen is the person my second brother doesn't want to marry the most. Will he obey?" As for Wu Zhengxiang, Lu always felt that this person was not simple, and always maintained a vigilance towards him.

Wu Jiao laughed, and said: "Siblings and sisters don't have to worry. Marriage is always a matter of parents' order and matchmaker's words, and it's not up to him whether he likes it or not." I can only pinch my nose and recognize it.

"Mrs. Zhuang is still staying in the other courtyard. When she comes back, I will come and invite her to Xu's house." Wu Jiao said with a smile: "Xu Wanzhen, the righteous daughter of An Guogong's mansion, is a perfect match for the second brother. Such a Good marriage, where can he find it?"

After solving this big problem, the two looked at each other and smiled.

"You rest first, I'll go see my mother." It's rare to go home, this important matter, Wu Jiao also wants to talk to her mother.

Seeing her daughter coming back, Chen's always gloomy expression couldn't help showing a smile, and asked Mother He to prepare her daughter's favorite pastry.

"My son, how are you doing?" Chen asked, holding Wu Jiao's hand.

"Mother, I'm fine." Wu Jiao smiled and said, "With the support of my elder brother, how dare their family treat me badly?"

Mrs. Chen snorted coldly, the vertical lines between her brows deepened, and said, "You pretend I don't know? A few months ago, your mother-in-law stuffed people into your room, right? !"

What she hated the most was Wu Zhengxiang's biological mother, Wen Yunqing.Even those women who are concubines are not welcome to see her.

Speaking of this, Wu Jiao looked downcast, and sighed: "Given by the elders, I dare not resign. I have not been happy in the past two years of marriage, and I can bear it until now. My mother-in-law is already looking at the face of the Duke of Zhongguo. "

She has a hot temper in her natal family, but she is the daughter-in-law of the Wu family when she is married, so she can only endure these things.

"Let's not talk about this, which man is not three wives and four concubines right now?" Wu Jiao didn't want her mother to worry about her own affairs, and said, "Mother, you want to hire Xu Wanzhen for your second brother, but I have some good news for you."

"What is his identity? How can he be your second brother." In Chen's heart, 1 people were unwilling to admit Wu Zhengxiang's blood.

Wu Jiao said patiently: "I know that my mother doesn't like him, and I don't like him either. His eyes are gloomy, and he looks scary. But, father's heirs are not prosperous, so in this mansion, mother should not treat him harshly. People talk."

She was also thinking about her mother, and continued to persuade: "I didn't understand these things before, and only after I got married did I know my mother's suffering. However, the family relies on the father, and if the mother treats the second brother badly, she will push the father further away." Since you want to show the second brother about the marriage, mother might as well take this opportunity to reconcile with father."

Hearing her daughter's words, Chen thought of the cold relationship between the two of them for so many years, and the sweetness when they first got married, and hated Wen Yunqing who caused all this even more in her heart.She said bitterly: "If it wasn't for her, how would I be here today!"

Wu Jiao knew about her mother's paranoia, and she didn't expect Chen to change her attitude by saying this.This thing has to be done slowly, and maybe it has to start with the father.

Wu Jiao changed the subject and said: "Mother, my daughter went to see Xu Wanzhen in the other courtyard of Shi's house yesterday." After describing everything she saw in detail, she said: "Today I made a special trip to find Hu Wanzhen. The Imperial Physician has confirmed that Xu Wanzhen is indeed infertile."

"Really?" Chen's eyes sparkled, this news is really great!Her whole life was in Wen Yunqing's hands.It was the happiest thing for her to see Wu Zhengxiang's life with her own eyes.

Marrying such a daughter-in-law must make Wu Zhengxiang restless after the meeting.

Chen didn't hide her joy, and said: "It's so good. Such a good wife must not be snatched away by others. I heard that Captain Fan is also asking for a marriage. You should do it as soon as possible to confirm the marriage as soon as possible. .”
