Aunt Jiang's left cuff slipped off slightly because of her tea-drinking action, revealing a clear bruise on her wrist, a piece of bruising and purple, which looked shocking on the white jade-like skin.

When Juan'er saw it, she blurted out worriedly: "Auntie, your hand ......"

Aunt Jiang put down the teacup and pulled down her sleeves to cover the bruises on her wrists, "I'm fine." When the doctor treated Hou Ye's injured leg, Hou Ye was in a terrible pain, so he grabbed me......"

In the past two days, she has had a very difficult time, and she has never had such a hard time and suffering in her life......

Juan'er sighed in her heart, and said softly: "Auntie, when the Hou Ye is well, I will definitely remember your kindness, Auntie." ”

At this moment, a little maid walked in and said that the hot water was ready.

Juan'er said, "Auntie, the slave maid is waiting for the aunt to freshen up, right?" ”

Aunt Jiang didn't take a bath for two days, so she took a hot bath and washed her skin slightly red before coming out of the bathroom.

Juan'er squatted on the ground and personally wiped Aunt Jiang's jade feet with a white towel.

Juan'er rubbed Aunt Jiang's left instep twice, and said in surprise: "Auntie, the perfect ointment that Master Hou gave you is really wonderful, the burn scars on your instep are almost invisible, presumably after two more days, it will be all right." ”

Aunt Jiang's pair of jade feet are petite and slender, like jade carvings, flawless.

Aunt Jiang has always been pitiful to her skin, all kinds of creams, rouge, pancreas, etc., all of which are the best, and she is also proud of this flawless snow muscle, although she gave birth to two children, her abdomen is still flat, without a trace of lines.

Aunt Jiang looked at her left foot, and the corners of her lips raised, "This perfect ointment is indeed worthy of its reputation." ”

"The slave maid also feels divine," Juan'er echoed, and gently smeared some ointment on the burned part of Aunt Jiang's left foot, and spread it evenly.

"Didn't Qingyu on the second lady's side hurt her face last month, and the doctor said that she was going to break her face. After she used the Ten Perfection Cream, the scar on her face is now completely healed, and she can't see it up close. ”

"It's still my aunt who is blessed, Master Hou feels sorry for you and got you a jar of perfect ointment."

"The slave maid heard that the second lady is now so remorseful that her intestines are blue. The third girl was even more noisy at the second lady, saying that she should have robbed the perfect cream in the first place. Juan'er picked up what Aunt Jiang liked to hear.

Hearing Liu and Chu Qianling, the corners of Aunt Jiang's mouth hooked slightly with disdain, and she said casually, "Yes."

Juan'er was afraid that she wouldn't believe it, so she said again: "What the slave said is true, I went to the kitchen yesterday to bring you medicinal food, and I happened to meet Qingyu." Several little sisters talked around Qingyu and praised her for her better skin. ”

"The slave maid also went over to take a few looks, and Qingyu's face is really no longer scarred at all, not only that, but even the two freckles she originally had are gone, and the skin in that position is particularly delicate."

After applying the ointment to Aunt Jiang, Juan'er stood up and put away the small porcelain bottle.

Aunt Jiang's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she couldn't help asking, "Juan'er, has the skin on Qingyu's face really gotten better?" She couldn't help but raise her hand and touch her cheek.

After all, she is almost thirty years old, no more than twenty-eight years old, because she often frowns, her forehead has a faint fine lines, and she needs to rely on fat powder to cover up the imperfections on her face.

Aunt Jiang's eyes fell on the small porcelain bottle in Juan'er's hand, the wound on her foot was not big, so she didn't use much ointment every time, and there was still half a bottle left.

The burn scar on the left foot is no longer visible, and if you apply it three or four times, it should be completely healed.

Anyway, there is still left, so why waste it, it is better to use it to paint your face, and it is not harmful to be left and right.

"Give me the perfect anointing." Aunt Jiang said eagerly.

Juan'er handed over the small porcelain vase to Aunt Jiang, and helped Aunt Jiang adjust the rhombic glasses on the dresser.

Aunt Jiang carefully touched the ointment on her forehead, and looked at the bronze mirror carefully, thinking that she would wake up tomorrow and not know if she could see the effect.

She was really tired and yawned lazily.

Juan Er hurriedly said, "Auntie, you should rest early." ”

Aunt Jiang hurriedly lay down on the couch.

She can also sleep for a while now, but she is afraid that Chu Lingxiao will call her to serve the sick again later.

"If there's any movement over there, remember to call me." Aunt Jiang told Juan'er extraordinarily.

Juan'er only agreed, only thinking that Aunt Jiang cared about Hou Ye, and felt that she was really affectionate to Hou Ye.

Aunt Jiang waved her hand and let Juan'er go out, and her willow eyes were surprisingly bright.

She has her own careful thoughts, and although it is hard to serve Chu Lingxiao, it is also an opportunity.

As long as Chu Lingxiao and Mrs. Tai are tired of the Shen family, then her son also has a chance to become the son of the world.

Although the son-in-law has always had the priority right to inherit the title, it is not absolute, if the son-in-law is incompetent, Mrs. Tai managed to get Chu Guifei and the second prince to intercede with the emperor......

Therefore, she must take this opportunity to make Chu Lingxiao feel more sorry for her and pity her, and let Chu Lingxiao know that she is the one who loves him the most.

The corners of Aunt Jiang's lips hooked, and then she closed her eyes.

She was really tired, and she slept very deeply, very deeply...... Until a hot sensation woke her from her dream.

She felt a little hot on her forehead, and her left foot was also hot and hot, as if it was about to burn.

Aunt Jiang opened her eyes suddenly and woke up.

When she woke up, she felt more pain in her forehead, as if someone was burning with a candle.

"Someone!" Aunt Jiang sat up from the couch and shouted, "Come over with the bronze mirror!" ”

It was already completely dark outside, and there was only one palace lamp lit in the house, and the light was slightly dim.

Juan'er and another little maid hurriedly walked into the inner room, and Juan'er held the bronze mirror to the couch.

Looking at Aunt Jiang up close, both Juan'er and the little maid were shocked, and found that her forehead was red, which seemed to have a red rash.

Aunt Jiang also saw herself in the bronze mirror, and her face suddenly lost color.

She was frightened and hurriedly said, "Quick, go get water, my face is so hot." ”

The little maid hurriedly ran out and fetched a basin of water and came back.

Juan'er was about to help Aunt Jiang get a wet towel to wipe her face, but she saw that Aunt Jiang had already snatched the towel and dipped it in water to wash her forehead.

As soon as the cold water hit her skin, she felt the heat on her forehead soften a little, but then she felt that her forehead seemed to be even hotter.

Aunt Jiang went to look at the bronze mirror in the little girl's hand again, and was shocked to find that the red rash on her forehead had become even redder.

"My face!" Aunt Jiang's face turned pale, she was shocked, panicked, and even more afraid, for fear that she would be disfigured, "Quick, go and ask someone to ask for a doctor!" ”

She was so panicked that she couldn't even pay attention to the burning pain in her feet.

More important than her feet, of course, is her face.

After a while, the lights in Qinghui Courtyard were bright, and the candles lit up one by one.

The yard was a mess.

Qinghui Courtyard was noisy for most of the night, but Chu Qianchen had a good night's sleep, and she didn't even wake her up with the sound of roosters, and she slept until she woke up naturally.

While waiting for her to wash, Amber said, "Girl, there was a lot of trouble in Aunt Jiang's yard last night in the middle of the night. ”

"Aunt Jiang said in the middle of the night that she wanted to invite a doctor, so she asked her to go to the eldest lady. At that time, it was already the fourth watch, and the lady had already rested, and those subordinates thought that it was not a serious illness related to human life, so they didn't bother the lady......"

"Mrs. Fang Cai has woken up, and she has already asked Aunt Jiang to ask for a doctor."

The Hou Mansion has the rules of the Hou Mansion, and in the Hou Mansion, not everyone can invite a doctor to come to the house, those aunts are only half a slave maid, and if they want to invite a doctor, they must first obtain the consent of the lady of the main house.

Chu Qianchen didn't say a word, and there was no joy or sadness on his beautiful face.

Amber looked at her, and stopped talking, wanting to ask her if she wanted to see Aunt Jiang.

At this time, a little maid's voice sounded outside the curtain: "Girl, breakfast is here, do you want to set the meal?" ”

"Let's set the table." Chu Qianchen responded, stroked the forbidden step on his waist casually, and walked out of the inner room.

Amber stared at her slender back in a daze, and quickly followed.

The little maid's movements were very neat, and a sumptuous breakfast was set up in three or two clicks.

Amber personally waited for Chu Qianchen to have breakfast, and brought a bowl of fragrant egg millet porridge to her.

Chu Qianchen ate the porridge unhurriedly, and there was no trace of turbulence in his expression.

She didn't plan to go to Qinghui Courtyard to see Aunt Jiang.

Chu Lingxiao secretly changed Chu Yunmu's perfect ointment, so that Aunt Jiang's feet would not have scars, he had always been meticulous to Aunt Jiang and knew everything, Aunt Jiang must have known where the ointment she used came from.

Chu Qianchen's eyelashes trembled slightly, and the right side of Chu Yunmu's face that had been cut by the bowstring appeared in front of him.

Brother Mu hurt his face, always let them put themselves in Brother Mu'er's shoes, and don't do to others what they don't want.

Some people don't know the pain as long as they don't know what happens to them.

Chu Qianchen had breakfast step by step, using a bowl of porridge, three xiaolongbao, a piece of millet cake and some appetizing side dishes, and even Amber had to sigh in her heart when she looked at it: The girl's appetite is really good.

After Chu Qianchen finished breakfast, he went to Rongfu Hall to greet Mrs. Tai.

She arrived a little late, and in the second room on the left, there were already a lot of people seated, and a few people from the second, third and fourth rooms had arrived.

The lady at the top looked a lot haggard, and she lost a lot of weight.

This once energetic old feudal monarch looked like an ordinary old woman at the moment, exhausted.

The atmosphere was slightly stiff.

After Chu Qianchen saluted Mrs. Tai and the Shen family, he sat down in his seat, as if he was unaware of the excessively quiet atmosphere in this room.

Liu pretended to take a sip of tea, and then asked in a pretended gossip, "Sister Chen, I heard that your aunt was sick last night?" ”

Saying that, Liu also glanced at Shen meaningfully, gloating in his heart: Recently, the long house has been full of disasters, and they all deserve it!

It's called retribution!

Who let the long house be selfish and self-reliant, have good things to hide for their own use, and don't think about relatives at all, causing their daughter to wash her face with tears all day long.

She can see that there was no stake in the past, the two rooms were passable, and once the interests were involved, the original shape of this long house was revealed!

The Shen family and Chu Qianchen were reluctant to give Shiquan ointment, weren't they afraid that their daughter Chu Qianling's face would be better, and she would be able to become the second prince's concubine?

There is no good thing in this long room, and I can't see that their second room is good!

and the mother-in-law is also eccentric, and she is partial to the long house.

Chu Qianchen didn't hear it, Liu pulled the corners of his mouth, and was about to say more, when he heard the sound of the maid's salute outside: "Master Hou." ”

Outside the door curtain, the sound of wheelchair rolling is getting closer.

Everyone knew that it was Chu Lingxiao who came, and they looked at each other in surprise.

Mrs. Tai frowned tightly, according to her, her son should be well raised on the couch, why did he go out!

Liu hooked the corners of his lips, and his malicious gaze shot at Shen from time to time.

She has heard that Chu Lingxiao is going to be lame this time, although the lame man will not be robbed, he will not be able to find any good errands in the future.

The second half of Chu Lingxiao's life can be regarded as ruined, and he can only guard a title, and the Shen family pretends not to care about it on the outside, and he is afraid that he will be in a hurry a long time ago.

However, from beginning to end, the Shen family didn't look at the Liu family, and drank the tea by herself, as if Chu Lingxiao's arrival would not affect her at all.

The curtain of the Xiangfei concubine was "brushed" by the maid, and then, a mother-in-law with a big waist and a round waist pushed a wheelchair in, and the person sitting in the wheelchair was Chu Lingxiao, and under the brocade robe on his body, it was obvious that the left leg wrapped with splints and bandages could be seen.

Chu Lingxiao's face was gloomy, looking even haggard than Mrs. Tai, and the beard on his chin was unshaven, which made his temperament more and more gloomy.

Chu Lingxiao didn't look at Mrs. Tai and the others, he looked at Shen Shi with a resentful gaze, and said angrily: "Shen Zhi, you poisonous woman!" ”

His voice became higher and higher-pitched, "You deliberately hurt Shan'er, right?" What exactly did you add to the Perfect Anointing? ”

Chu Lingxiao got the maid's gift early in the morning, saying that Aunt Jiang was unwell and couldn't come to serve the sick.

He was worried about Aunt Jiang, so he asked him to carry him into a wheelchair, and went to Qinghui Courtyard to see Aunt Jiang in person, only then did he know that she had a strange red rash on her forehead, hot and hot, because she applied ten perfect ointment to her forehead. In the middle of the night, Aunt Jiang wanted to ask for a doctor, but Shen didn't call her.

Chu Lingxiao suddenly remembered the sneers that Shen had given him after he broke his leg, and he was furious. He decided that Shen was deliberate, and came to Rongfutang Xingshi to ask for the guilt.

Mrs. Tai was shouted by Chu Lingxiao's sharp voice, and her forehead throbbed for a while.

She had heard a few words from Mama Wang, but she only knew that Aunt Jiang was making a fuss in the middle of the night to invite a doctor, and Shen also asked people to invite her early in the morning, as for the specific Aunt Jiang who was unwell, she didn't know.

"Ah Xiao, what are you talking about?" Mrs. Tai patiently asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Chu Lingxiao indignantly told Aunt Jiang the cause and effect of the rash.

Liu didn't have the heart to pretend to drink tea now, he listened to it with relish, and just waited to see the good show in the long room. Haha, it's better to eat dog in a long room, then, this play is even more interesting.

Since Chu Lingxiao is shameless, the Shen family will not hide it for him.

She said lightly without giving face: "Chu Lingxiao, what did you steal from Brother Mu'er, don't you know yourself?" ”

"You're still trying to throw dirty water on me!"

Her tone was sharp and her eyes were clear, just like a mirror that made Chu Lingxiao's thoughts reflect undisguised.

"You...... You femme fatale! ”

Chu Lingxiao glared at Shen angrily, and the anger that had accumulated for several days erupted like a volcano at this moment.

He was so angry that he lost his mind, forgetting for a moment that he was still hurting his leg, and threw himself at Shen.

However, before he got up, his body lost his balance and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

When you fall, your injured left foot will inevitably be bumped.

This time, it hurts.

Chu Lingxiao tasted the pain of breaking bones again, and let out a heart-rending shout.

Mrs. Tai was distressed. Hurt in her son's body, hurt in her mother's heart, she hurriedly said: "Quick, don't you hurry up and help Hou Ye up." ”

The mother-in-law who pushed the wheelchair couldn't help a big man like Chu Lingxiao alone, so she hurried to call other mothers-in-law.

Chu Lingxiao's pain couldn't change Shen's softness at all, she thought of the sins her son had suffered.

Shen didn't even move his eyebrows, and said idly: "Master Hou, your leg, if you toss it like this again, beware of amputation." ”

"Although the marquis has already inherited the knighthood, if the limb is amputated, maybe the emperor will take the knighthood."

She seemed to be persuading, but in fact, she poked Chu Lingxiao's heart every word.

If Chu Lingxiao was injured by the enemy on the battlefield, so he lacked arms and legs, the emperor would not only not win the title, but also be rewarded, but this "accident" on Chu Lingxiao's body was a little ugly.

angered the emperor, and he could always cure Chu Lingxiao without repairing an inner curtain.

Liu's heart moved, if the emperor took Chu Lingxiao's title, this Yongding Marquis Mansion has no son, will he give them the title of second room?

Chu Lingxiao finally sat back in the wheelchair with the support of the two mothers-in-law.

Cold sweat was on his forehead, he squeezed the armrest of the wheelchair tightly with one hand, glared at Shen Shi and gritted his teeth: "Shen Zhi, you actually cursed Ben Hou!" ”

Chu Qianhuang was a little restless, and went to wipe Chu Lingxiao's sweat in person, and comforted: "Father, you extinguish the fire, don't be angry with your mother." ”

Chu Lingxiao was even more angry, "Didn't you see what your mother just said?!" ”

Seeing sparks in the air, the people in the other rooms were silent.

"Smack!"

Suddenly, there was a loud banging in the room.

The fruit pot on the coffee table shook, and the lychees rolled off the fruit pot and scattered to the ground, rolling to the ground.

"Have you had enough!" Mrs. Tai's face turned blue with anger, and she said angrily, "Both of them don't say a few words!" ”

Mrs. Tai's mouth said "you", as if she was scolding Chu Lingxiao and the Shen family at the same time, in fact, she naturally felt sorry for her son in her heart, and felt that the Shen family was really too much.

No matter what discord and misunderstanding there are between the husband and wife, shouldn't the Shen family be a wife and respect her husband and let her husband have a few points? She even talked about any amputation, is this cursing Chu Lingxiao?!

Mrs. Tai was afraid that Chu Lingxiao's legs would not be able to be raised, so she couldn't help but be angry with Aunt Jiang, and said to Mama Wang: "Mama Wang, you go to Qinghui Courtyard to see Aunt Jiang and see if she is disfigured or has a rotten face...... I'm so big, I don't know how important it is! ”

"Since you're sick, don't leave the yard at all!"

Mrs. Tai directly gave Aunt Jiang a grounding order, in her opinion, isn't Aunt Jiang just a rash on her face, how can Chu Lingxiao's legs be important!

She felt in her heart that Aunt Jiang was inevitably a little child, and she alarmed Chu Lingxiao for such a little thing, did she think that his leg was not seriously injured?

Mama Wang was ordered to retreat.

Mrs. Tai also wanted to scold Shen, but she endured it again.

Her forbearance, of course, was for the sake of her son.

Now even the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital said that Chu Lingxiao's leg injury was hopeless, saying that he would definitely be lame. Now his only hope is the divine doctor of Jishitang, but the people of the Hou Mansion have been to the magic doctor several times and have not been there, but his family has offended Jishitang before, and Jishitang is afraid that he is not willing to help the Hou Mansion match.

Therefore, Mrs. Tai thought of Shen Yun, the younger sister of the Shen family, Princess Shen Yun of Jingjun.

Shen Yun's daughter has been seeking medical treatment in Jishitang for a month, Shen Yun must have some friendship with the divine doctor, so the Chu family may be able to invite the divine doctor through this line.

Originally, Mrs. Tai planned to mention it to the Shen family today, but Chu Lingxiao made such a fuss, which made the atmosphere stiff.

Obviously, now is not the right time.

Mrs. Tai clutched the string of beads in her hand, and blamed her son for being impulsive, but even so, she still hoped that Shen would be soft-hearted when she saw her son's painful appearance...... Even if the Shen family is not soft-hearted, there are still Sister Huang and Brother Mu.

Mrs. Tai settled down and persuaded softly: "You two, you are over half a hundred years old, what can't you say well." ”

Although the words that Shen said last time were ruthless, Mrs. Tai only thought that it was because the husband and wife quarreled, and Shen was angry.

Mrs. Tai looked at Chu Lingxiao and pretended to reprimand: "Ah Xiao, you too, don't you know what kind of character Ah Zhi is?" She has always been straight, how could she play such a selfish trick! ”

While she spoke, she glanced at Chu Lingxiao, Chu Lingxiao wanted to refute Mrs. Tai, but she finally restrained herself.

Chu Lingxiao's thin lips were pursed, and his hand holding the armrest of the wheelchair was even harder, and he didn't think so:

Shen's straight temperament?! She is clearly arrogant!

Chu Lingxiao had already decided in his heart that all this was the conspiracy of the Shen family.

I'm afraid that Shen Shi had already guessed that he was eyeing the Ten Perfect Cream, so she moved her hands and feet in that jar of Ten Perfect Cream, and deliberately used the Ten Perfect Cream for Chu Yunmu, just using her son as bait to lure him into the bait.

He was careless and fell for the Shen family.

He took the jar of the problematic Ten Perfection Cream, and instead harmed his Shan'er!

Shen's woman is a poisonous woman, her mind is so vicious, she designed such a bureau so carefully, just because she was jealous of Shan'er, because she couldn't tolerate Shan'er!

The more Chu Lingxiao thought about it, the more he hated it, and the more he thought about it, the more he hated it, but he also understood what Mrs. Tai meant, for the sake of his feet, he couldn't tear his face with the Shen family now.

He pursed his lips and said nothing, as if acquiescing to Mrs. Tai's words.

Mrs. Tai showed a kind and kind smile, and said to Shen Shi, "Ah Zhi, you see Ah Xiao's leg injured like this, he has suffered a big crime this time, and he is depressed in his heart, so he will forget his ......form for a while."

However, Shen didn't want to play any respectful games with them, and said perfunctorily: "Mother, I still have a feed to be busy, so I'll go out first." ”

Mrs. Tai and Chu Lingxiao's faces froze for a moment.

Chu Qianhuang opened his lips slightly, and wanted to say something, so he heard Shen greet him: "Sister Huang, Sister Chen, you also come." She called the twin maidens as well, "Also, Sister Wu and Sister Hotaru." ”

Chu Qianhuang swallowed back his words after all, and left with Chu Qianchen with the Shen family.

Chu Qianwu and Chu Qianying were a little at a loss, looking at Mrs. Tai and Chu Lingxiao, and then at the Shen family, they still followed the Shen family.

After leaving Rongfu Hall, Shen stopped.

She could see the apprehension in the twins' eyes, and her attitude was as gentle as ever, and she smiled: "The summer shirt over there in the sewing room is almost ready." The weather is hot this year, and I think I will simply make two more summer shirts, and I will let the sewing room pick the materials for you later. ”

Shen's two sentences are full of euphemism, which means that even if she is at odds with their father, she is still their mother-in-law and will not treat them badly.

The twins looked at each other with relief.

My mother has always had a good temperament, and she is also impartial to the concubines, and compared to other rooms, their lives are obviously much better. They are also afraid that the gods will fight, the little ghosts will suffer, and the mother-in-law and father will be angry and angry with them.

The sisters were finally relieved, and they planned to tell their aunt when they went back.

"Thank you, Mother." The sisters thanked Shen happily.

They are only ten years old, which is the age of beauty, and they are all smiling when they think of new clothes to add.

Shen Shi said again: "Sister Huang, Sister Chen, the two of you are not young, from today onwards, follow me to learn how to feed in the palm of your hand." ”

When the twins heard this, they couldn't help but show envy.

They are the girls of the Chu family, and on weekdays, they have their own boudoirs who can read, and can learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but these are not things that boudoirs can learn.

Most of the noble families have to marry their children and grandchildren, because the mother will teach her daughter how to take care of the middle feed and how to manage the house, and the concubine will never be as good as the concubine in this regard.

Therefore, those noble families usually do not marry concubines to outstanding children in the clan, and they are afraid that the concubines will not be able to teach their children well in the future.
