“Youlaihe?” asked Wei Changying who was confused. “What is that?”
“It is a cold medicine produced by northern Rong tribes,” said Mrs. Liu in a sad voice. “The Liu Family often battled with northern Rong tribes and found this medicine on them. It is effective to cure the hot poison. However, if a healthy person takes it, only a little….”
Liu Ruoyu couldn’t sit firmly. She was so weak that her face was pale. She said, “If someone overdosed it, the strange smell could be noticed. However, I am weak. Just a little amount of it made me weaker like now.” She felt short of breath. Suddenly, she couldn’t bear what had happened to her, so she violently waved her hands and shrieked, “I have not competed with them and merely want to marry an honest man. Moreover, I don’t plan to revenge them, but why do they still hurt me? They planned the marriage between the Crown Prince who is lascivious and I. Song Zaishui in Jiangnan knows his notorious character. Now, they even
After returning to Jintong Courtyard, Wei Changying found that Shen Cangfeng did not come back. However, the servant who had sent a letter to the Song mansion this morning came back. He was Ni Hao, the eldest son of Mrs. Huang. Ni Hao was several years older than Wei Changying and had the eldest daughter and a second son. For the sake of Mrs. Huang, her family was all members of Wei Changying’s dowry group. Mrs. Huang’s husband and eldest son were managers in the Shen FamilyIt was originally not Ni Hao’s duty to send a message, but Mrs. Huang ordered him to do so because she wanted her son to appear in front of Wei Changying.Standing behind the curtain, Ni Hao respectfully reported, “Miss Song sent her regards to Young Madam and also wrote a letter to you.”Wei Changying asked Zhu Lan to fetch the letter. After holding the letter on her hand, Wei Changying did not unfold it but asked with concern, “Have you ever been to rear courtyard? How is
The next day Mrs. Huang went out before noon and intended to pay a visit to Ji Qubing who lived in the east of the city. Shen Cangfeng was on duty in the palace as usual. Wei Changying had nothing to do, so she asked people to take out the pair of male-female treasured swords given by Shen Xuan on the day of serving tea to take a closer look at them.This pair of male-female treasured swords had the same patterns, but the female sword was thinner and shorter, which was more suitable for women. They were simple and unpretentious, which was very different from the magnificent elegance of the "Lu Hu" Sword. Not to mention the hilt of the swords, even their scabbards were only wrapped in shark skins, which weren't good-looking at all.Of course, the swords sent by Shen Xuan were swords without tassels dedicated to military officers. Wei Changying pulled out the female sword. It showed a section of pitch-dark blades, which was different from the "Lu Hu" Sword. A
"... I think maybe second sister-in-law did so for the sake of Aunt Guo." Wei Changying was exhausted when she returned to Jintong Courtyard. She found that Mrs. Huang had been back. As for Shen Cangfeng, even if he had invited his colleagues for a drink like yesterday, he should be home now, but he was still absent.Wei Changying didn't have the time to think about him. She only told the maidservant on the porch to inform her when Shen Cangfeng came back. Then she tugged at Mrs. Huang and whispered to her, "What Aunt Guo meant before was to doubt second sister-in-law. Last time, she wanted first sister-in-law or me to clear up the case of Lvqiao's miscarriage while second sister-in-law was away. This matter was not a secret. It was not difficult for second sister-in-law to figure it out, so was second sister-in-law deliberately framing Aunt Guo today?"Mrs. Duanmu obviously had enough evidence to prove that Lvqiao's miscarriage was the result of her own ca
Wei Changying was surprised and overjoyed. She hurried out without thinking too much, only to find that a group of people had gathered on the lighted porch. Across the courtyard, she couldn't figure out whether Shen Cangfeng was surrounded in the flickering shadows. After a moment, the crowd hadn't parted yet. She then ran down to the yard in anxiety and reached the opposite porch. People saw her coming and greeted her with great respect.Wei Changying had no time to answer them. Looking at the crowd, she found no sign of Shen Cangfeng. She frowned and asked, "Where is third young master?"Zhu Lan smiled apologetically and said, "Third young master hasn't returned yet. It was Shen Die who came back to report. I thought that third young master was behind him, so I shouted...."Wei Changying just noticed that the manservant in black clothes who was standing by the round "moon-gate" was exactly Shen Die. She composed herself and asked him, "How co
The next evening, Shen Cangfeng returned, looking very tired. Wei Changying guessed that Old Madam Deng's condition was not good. Mrs. Duanmu had invited Duanmu Xinmiao, and if she immediately asked for Miracle Doctor Ji's help, it would appear that she was deliberately going against the second sister-in-law.What's more, even Duanmu Xinmiao, the only disciple of Ji Qubing, didn't defend Old Madam Deng. No one knew how much Ji Qubing was angry with Old Madam Deng. Wei Changying felt that the Su Family hadn't even brought it up yet, so perhaps Old Madam Deng's condition wasn't as serious as she thought. She didn't think she had to risk offending a miraculous doctor, who had even saved her father's life, to worry about it, so it was better to wait. After all, she was only her grandmother, not her close parents.After the two had eaten, bathed, dressed, and returned to the inner room, Wei Changying asked, "How is our grandmother now?"Shen Cangfen
When Mrs. Huang heard this, she hurriedly waved her hand and argued, "I just heard you tease Zhu Lan and associated it with her. It has nothing to do with Sister He. Sister He is so preoccupied with you that I'm afraid she hasn't even thought about it. Even if you care about her, I'm afraid it will take a long time to persuade her!"Wei Changying pondered, saying, "I'm in favor of this, but what you said makes sense. Granny He has been looking after me for so many years and has never paid any attention to anyone else. I'm afraid Granny He will hesitate if I ask her to marry again. I think Granny He listens to you, so why don't you help me persuade her? Anyway, I can make my own decisions now, about this matter...As long as Granny He is well, I will do whatever I can for her."Now the two of them discussed what kind of person to pick for her if Mrs. He was willing to marry again. Because Mrs. He was at this age she was neither old nor young. She was at the a
It was the day off. Duanmu Xinmiao had failed to ask Ji Qubing to diagnose Old Madam Deng, so she went to the Su Family alone. However, no one knew whether it was because that Duanmu Xinmiao was not capable enough or that she refused to cure Old Madam Deng on purpose, Old Madam Deng's symptoms had been coming and going from time to time.Since Old Madam Deng was old, they had always taken it seriously when she had a headache or a fever. What was worse, she was feeling dizzy from time to time. Old Madam Deng had become so thin that she looked skinny, and she looked very weak. Therefore, Madam Su had to look after Old Madam Deng. She could only tell her sisters-in-law to help each other in managing the whole family so that she had time and energy to take care of her mother.Because Shen Cangfeng had already promised Wei Changying that he would stay with Wei Changying in Jintong Courtyard this day off, he had gone to the Su Family every day after work. Some da
Mrs. Liu's chief maid, Huanfei, was standing under a row of pomegranate trees at the corner gate, waiting for an answer. When she saw Mrs. Huang, she hurriedly walked two steps forward, "Granny Huang, where is the third young madam?"Mrs. Huang apologized and said to her helplessly, "Unfortunately, our young madam got up with a headache this morning. She was lying right now. Before the young master went to the study to read, he told us not to disturb the young madam. Otherwise, if the first young madam's sister comes, she will certainly go over and meet her."Huanfei was unspeakably disappointed, but Mrs. Huang said that Wei Changying was not feeling well, and Shen Cangfeng told others not to disturb his wife. She couldn’t tell Mrs. Huang not to listen to her master and forced Wei Changying to get up, right?Thinking that Mrs. Liu seemed not to see Wei Changying as an outsider and told the third branch that she wanted to murder the younger sist
