Chapter 84: The Great Aunt's Worries
Feng Zhimu was a straightforward and unwitted person in the end, and complained: "Uncle Nine Emperor's temper is getting more and more eccentric, how can he still be angry when he plays chess, Sister Bai laughs so good-looking, he can also speak with a clear conscience, Sister Bai, don't be angry!"
Bai Mu Hibiscus looked at Feng Zhimu and smiled sincerely, shook his head and said, "How come?"
Lu Xiang and Dongfang Xuan glanced at each other, as if they had an understanding, but they both chose to remain silent, and after a long time, Lu Xiang arched his hand and said: "It's time for us to leave, Chen'er will leave it to you, you have to be responsible to the end!"
"Come on, you can take care of yourself, when will it be your turn for my apprentice to worry about it!" Dongfang Xuan waved his hand impatiently, obviously too lazy to say some polite words.
Bai Mujin respectfully saluted Dongfang Xuan and said, "Mr. Dongfang, I have offended a lot for Chen'er's affairs before, you don't remember the villain, don't be like me!"
Dongfang Xuan glanced at Bai Hibiscus meaningfully, and said with a smile: "You girl, ghostly, it really makes the old man angry, but there is no way, whoever makes me like that bite, you often come here to walk around in the future, and also accompany the old man to play chess!"
Bai Mujin nodded, it was considered to be a response, and greeted Bai Muchen a few more words before preparing to leave, Bai Muchen followed behind to see her out, seemingly very reluctant.
Bai Mujin shook his head at him, signaling that he didn't have to be like this, Bai Muchen barely suppressed his sad emotions, and smiled at her: "Sister, don't worry, Chen'er will definitely be fine, if you have time, you can come to see me often!"
Bai Muhibiscus smiled and nodded, and then started to get into the car, and the mandarin duck and magpie also followed, because they had promised Mrs. Lu to come back to see her, so they followed Lu Xiang's car back to Lu's mansion.
Lu Xiang went to the study to deal with affairs, and only asked his subordinates to lead Bai Hibiscus to the old lady's courtyard, and when he arrived at the door, Bai Hibiscus went in by himself.
When she entered the house, Mrs. Bai hurriedly asked her to come up on the couch, and rubbed her hands, but she was startled by the cold feeling, and reproached: "You girl, why don't you wear more clothes, your hands are so cold, it's not uncomfortable, Mama Cui, go to that soup woman to warm her hands!"
Bai Mu Hibiscus smiled and withdrew his hand and said, "It's nothing, your hands are cold, and your body is not cold!"
After a while, Mama Cui took the soup woman and handed it to Bai Muhibiscus, she smiled and hugged it in her hand, and said, "Grandma, you have bothered a lot about Chen'er's matter this time!"
Old Madam Lu glared at her, and said unhappily: "How many times have you said it, how can you have such a relationship with your grandmother? Chen'er's things are enough? I'll ask Qingyun to bring him some another day!"
"It's enough, don't say we prepared it ourselves, grandma, what you prepared for him is enough for a few months, and if you send more, I'm afraid that Mr. Dongfang will blame him for being squeamish, don't worry, I'll go and see it, Mr. Dongfang doesn't lack anything, and there is a scholar to take care of him, so we don't have to worry about it!" Bai Muhibiscus replied with a smile.
Mrs. Lu was relieved at this time, and at this time, a woman wearing a cyan cardigan skirt walked into the house, her face was a little sad, but when she saw Bai Hibiscus, she still smiled, and said kindly: "Jin'er is here? I haven't seen you for a long time, the first few times you came to the house, I couldn't come to see you, don't blame the eldest aunt!"
Bai Mujin got up with a smile and blessed his eldest aunt Qin, and said, "Eldest aunt is well!"
The Qin family was also not formal, and hurriedly helped her, took her hand and said: "I haven't seen her for many days, but I feel that Jin'er is getting better and better, and looking at her appearance, she is a few points better than her aunt and grandmother!"
The aunt and grandmother in Qin's mouth are naturally referring to Bai Mujian's biological mother Lu Wanqin, who was also a famous beauty in Beijing back then, but it was a pity that she married a Bo Xinglang and died young.
"Let's all sit on the couch, it's weird cold down there, Jin'er's body is so weak, and her little hands are cold and cold before the cold weather, like a stone!" Old Madam Lu was worried that Bai Mu Hibiscus was cold, so she pulled her to sit down.
Mrs. Lu was left in the room with only Mama Cui to serve, and the others retreated to the outside room, so she whispered: "Jin'er is here, just say what you have, don't scruple!"
The Qin family had already heard the idea that Bai Mujian gave her from Old Madam Lu, but she had some concerns in her heart, so she came over to talk about it in person.
Slightly apologetic, he smiled at Bai Mu Hibiscus before he spoke: "Jin'er, I won't tell you, there is such a thing at home, but it really scared me and your uncle, except for your grandmother, we dare not believe it, the day before yesterday your grandmother told me the idea you gave, although I think it is feasible, but I am afraid that something will go wrong, so I don't know when to start implementing it!"
Bai Muhibi obtained the approval of Mrs. Lu before he was willing to say: "Auntie, this matter should not be delayed sooner rather than later, I don't know if Cousin Qingyun has been poisoned?"
Qin Shi hurriedly shook his head and said, "I went to check, maybe because I stayed with Mr. Dongfang all the year round, so I was not affected, what a blessing!"
Bai Mujin also breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, fortunately, Lu Qingyun was not harmed, otherwise the eldest uncle's vein would be completely finished, and Lu Qingyun has not yet discussed marriage If this matter is publicized, who will be willing to marry her daughter in the future, she dares to guarantee that when Lu Qingyun discusses marriage, the people in the shadows will definitely find ways to spread this rumor, and whether it is true or not, it will affect Lu Qingyun's marriage.
Bai Mu Hibiscus thought for a while, and then said: "Fortunately, but since it is not easy to drug the eldest uncle under the nose of the eldest uncle, has the eldest aunt checked the food in the house, has you found anything?"
"It's strange to say, I have checked all the food one by one, including your uncle's personal belongings, I have carefully checked and found nothing, if it weren't for the coincidence that day, your uncle came back from drinking outside, and his body was not happy, and it happened that Dr. Han was also there, so he checked his pulse, only to find that his body was not appropriate. Otherwise, we would all be in the dark until now!" Qin still had palpitations when he talked about this.
Bai Mujin felt a little strange, if he wanted to say that he was drugged in food, why was the eldest aunt fine, and the only uncle was tricked?
If the eldest aunt was drugged, it is estimated that it should have been discovered early in the morning, because the eldest aunt has been pregnant since giving birth to Lu Qingyun, so she often asks the doctor for medicine, if there is a problem, the doctor will not dare not say it, but the eldest aunt is fine, and it is the eldest uncle who is poisoned.
Bai Mujin thought about many possibilities, but rejected them one by one, and asked: "What kind of food does the eldest uncle eat, he eats alone, and the rest of the people won't touch it?"
Qin Shi thought carefully for a while before shaking his head and said: "Your eldest uncle has never paid attention to food and clothing, he will eat whatever I bring, if you want to say that the medicinal food is specially made for him, it has also been tasted by the little guy, but the little guy has also checked it, and there is nothing wrong with it!"
"This thing is really strange, I have been drugged for so long, but I can't find out what I ate, this person's method of poisoning is too clever, aunt, you first pretend according to the method we discussed, often ask for a pulse, and don't tell others what is wrong with you, just let others misunderstand that you are pregnant, I can't think of a month, the other party will take action!" Bai Mu Hibiscus said.
Qin nodded, and also felt that this matter was quite strange, sighed deeply, and said: "It's all about it, but I can hide it from others, I'm afraid I can't hide it from the girl next to me, what if the little day comes?"
Bai Mujin smiled and said a little embarrassedly: "I think Mama Cui should have a way for you to avoid it!"
Mama Cui also smiled and said: "Saying that other slaves and maids can't help, this one, I'll take nine out of ten, grandma can rest assured!"
Qin Shi was really a little surprised when she heard this, she was a woman in the inner courtyard, where had she heard of such a strange method, but she didn't know that Mama Rui, an old woman who had been in the court for a long time, knew the most about these private things, and Mama Cui and Mama Rui were out of the same door, so naturally they would not know. Some drugs can postpone the monthly letter, and can also make people have signs of false pregnancy, retching, drowsiness, sour and spicy food, many people have been tricked and think they are pregnant, and they have fallen into the trap given by others.
Old Madam Lu patted Qin's hand and said, "Hey...... You have also suffered a lot of grievances over the years, because you have never been pregnant again, and my eldest son has not been angry with you!"
Qin's eyes were red, and he didn't have any complaints about his mother-in-law, although her husband had been resentful for many years, her mother-in-law had never put a face on her, but comforted her a lot.
"Mother, you have also suffered a lot of resentment from your husband with your daughter-in-law, in fact, if it wasn't for that incident back then, maybe there would be a few concubines who could spread the branches for your husband!" Qin said with a little regret.
When Mrs. Lu heard this, she wrinkled her brows and said: "What did you say, that woman has such a vicious mind, who can tolerate her? There are these concubines in the inner house, that is, the family is restless, and it is obvious that she is still smart in major matters, but she doesn't understand the selfishness of this inner house, so she will be coaxed around by that woman, which is really unfortunate for the family!"
When Bai Mujin heard this, it seemed that the eldest uncle had taken a concubine back then, and this concubine seemed to be very restless, and there was a big incident, which she had never heard of in her previous life, and it happened a long time ago.
The eldest uncle has never taken a concubine over the years, and she is still regarded as the eldest uncle's dedication, but there is a hidden secret in it, Bai Mujian sighed, sure enough, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read.
Qin Shi wiped the corners of his eyes, as if he couldn't hold back his tears, and said: "Mother, don't hide it from you, I always feel that my husband still remembers the Xue family back then, you said that we chose to hide the facts, is it wrong?
When Mrs. Lu heard Xue's words, her eyes widened, she gasped, and said, "What you said is true?
Qin pursed his lips, as if it was extremely difficult to speak, looked at Bai Mujian, and said: "Mother, don't say it, it's not good in front of Jin'er!"
Bai Mujian has been watching her nose and nose, but she didn't care about these words, but the information spread in the words made her feel shocked, and a strange thought passed through her heart, but it was only a short moment, and it disappeared, and she couldn't grasp what it was.
Bai Mu Hibiscus shook his head, secretly blaming himself for being too careful, and Old Madam Lu seemed to realize that this topic was not suitable for discussion in front of Bai Mu Hibiscus after all, so she simply changed the topic and said something that didn't matter.
