Xingruyi's words made Hui Niang's head bow suddenly. His eyes were slightly red, but he endured it desperately.

"It's all Huiniang who is not angry, and she can't complain about her mother-in-law, she blames Huiniang." Hui Niang dragged the corner of her clothes with her hand, obviously she was already wronged in her heart, but she still had to pretend not to mind on her face: "Hui Niang and her husband have been married for many years, but they have not been able to add a son to their husband." As the saying goes, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great, and the mother-in-law did not let her husband take a break from Hui Niang, which is already a blessing that Hui Niang has cultivated for several lifetimes. As for her mother-in-law's punishment, it was also because she was depressed in her heart, and she saw that Huiniang was a little unhappy. Moreover, these injuries are also skin injuries and are not in the way. ”

"If it's not in the way, how can Madame come to my wishful rouge shop to ask for a prescription." Xing Ruyi shook his head helplessly: "Forget it, since ancient times, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been enemies, don't say that Mrs. and your father-in-law are blind and dumb marriages, they are the kind of people who met before they got married, and they may not know what their in-laws are." There is just a sentence, although Ruyi knows that he should not say it, he still can't help but persuade his wife. Although this daughter-in-law must be respectful and filial, she cannot blindly tolerate cowardice. After all, these days are still long, if it goes on like this, I am afraid that in the future, your life will be more and more difficult, madam. ”

Hui Niang's hands subconsciously clasped together: "What the girl said, Hui Niang didn't understand." It's just, even if you know, what can Hui Niang do? You can't be an unfilial daughter-in-law who disobeys her mother-in-law everywhere. Perhaps, when the days are longer, her mother-in-law will be able to see Hui Niang's goodness, and maybe Hui Niang will be able to give birth to a son and a half daughter for her husband, and her mother-in-law will be able to change her opinion of Hui Niang. Now, I asked the girl to help me take a look at my scar, but there is a way to remove it. If it really doesn't work, it's good to cover it up for a while. Hui Niang didn't want to make her husband and mother-in-law unhappy because of these little things. ”

"Madam, you are really a good talking daughter-in-law. Since you don't mind, Madame, Ruyi is an outsider, and it's hard to say anything. Madame also exposed the scars, Ruyi needs to look at them carefully to know if they can be healed. ”

Hui Niang nodded, walked to the lamp and candle, and exposed her neck first.

The wound on Hui Niang's neck, behind her ear, is usually covered with hair, and if you don't look closely, you can't see anything. The scar was in the shape of a vertical strip, and although the wound had long healed, it still felt like some burrs were uneven. Xing Ruyi looked at it for a while, but he didn't see how the scar was made.

In addition to not seeing what the tool of the murder was, even the color of the scar was very strange to Xing Ruyi. At first glance, you would think it was a bruise, but upon closer inspection, you found that it was not a natural color of the wound, but rather as if some kind of paint had been added to it.

Thinking of this, Xing Ruyi took out the bag containing the silver needle, took out a silver needle, and gently pierced it into it. On the needles of the silver needle, Xing Ruyi also found that strange purple red, and unlike what was seen on the surface of the skin, these purple were micro-particles, and although they had been mixed with the blood for a while, the nose still smelled the original smell of this purple particle.

"It's comfrey!"

Comfrey, a plant of the comfrey family, can be used as medicine, which has the effect of cooling blood and invigorating blood, clearing heat and detoxifying, and moistening the intestines and laxative. In addition to being used in medicine, comfrey can also be used for dyeing, usually to dye cloth.

"If this comfrey is used in medicine, there is no need to grind it into such small particles, although it is convenient to dissolve and digest the stomach, but according to the current refining technology, it will only reduce the medicinal effect, so that the comfrey loses its due therapeutic effect. Taking a step back, even if these particles were used to heal diseases, it was obvious that they were a bit redundant to apply them to Madame's wounds. Because comfrey does not heal wounds, anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects. Can you please explain to Ruyi why these comfrey granules appear here? ”

Xing Ruyi said, pointing to Hui Niang's scar.

The girl misunderstood, this comfrey was not used to cure diseases, but the dye used by Hui Niang to weave and dye cloth. As for this comfrey granule, it was the mother-in-law who patted the wound with her hand when she was angry. Because it couldn't be cleaned in time, it grew in and became what it is today. ”

"Using comfrey to dye the wound, your mother-in-law is really wonderful."

Xing Ruyi said, and checked several wounds around Huiniang's body. The injured places are very chic, all in some places that ordinary people can't see and don't affect their daily work. The color of the scars is the same as those dyes commonly used in the folk, and there are any colors.

"Although these dyes are extracted from plants, the medicine is poisonous, and the medicine still penetrates directly into the bloodstream, and the possible effects it may have on the body, even if it is wishful thinking, I can't be sure. Your mother-in-law is also vicious enough. ”

"Huiniang is stupid and can't understand the meaning of the girl's words."

"Madame, that mother-in-law doesn't like Madame?"

"Mother-in-law, she is indeed a little dissatisfied with Huiniang."

"Since you are dissatisfied, why do you still agree to this family business, wouldn't it be better to find a wishful girl for your son? I got married in the Tang Dynasty, and I paid attention to the order of my parents, and the words of the matchmaker, if your mother-in-law did not open her mouth to answer this family business, Ruyi did not believe it, and your husband still had the courage to marry you into the door. ”

The implication of Xing Ruyi is that Hui Niang's mother-in-law is powerful. Such a powerful mother-in-law, her status in the family is naturally different from the ordinary, if she hadn't nodded in agreement, I'm afraid that her son wouldn't have the courage to marry someone back. In other words, Hui Niang, the daughter-in-law, is very likely to have been personally chosen by her.

I don't look down on the daughter-in-law I personally chose, and if the mother-in-law has no problem with her brain, she is forced to agree to this family affair. For example, the conditions of the in-laws' family are not as good as those of the mother's family. For another example, Hui Niang's father-in-law needs some help from Hui Niang's mother's family. Of course, there is another possibility, that is, except for Hui Niang, others are not willing to marry into that family at all, and they are not willing to marry that son.

Listening to Xing Ruyi talk about her marriage, Huiniang also felt a trace of bitterness in her heart.

"The marriage between Hui Niang and Xianggong was indeed arranged by her mother-in-law, and it was also the mother-in-law who personally brought her husband to the door to ask for a kiss. Half a year after marriage, Huiniang and her mother-in-law got along quite well. ”

"What about half a year later, but what unpleasant happened?"

"In that half a year, a lot of things happened, so much so that Huiniang couldn't figure out what happened to her mother-in-law's attitude." Hui Niang glanced at Ruyi: "If the girl doesn't think Hui Niang is verbose, Hui Niang is willing to talk to the girl about these words." ”

"Madam, since you can trust Ruyi, Ruyi is naturally willing to be this listener."

"Thank you, girl!" Hui Niang bowed: "To be honest, over the years, Hui Niang has also had a lot of questions in her heart, but Hui Niang doesn't know who to talk to, and she doesn't know who to talk to." happened to meet the girl today, and Hui Niang's words in her heart finally found a source. ”

Hui Niang said, took something from her body, and held it tightly in the palm of her hand.

"I just told the girl that Hui Niang's asthma has been urinating since she was a child. This disease, although not fatal, is very abrasive, and it needs to be maintained from time to time, and it has also cost the family a lot of silver taels over the years of adulthood. Therefore, Hui Niang's father has not given any good face since Hui Niang remembered.

Because of Hui Niang's illness, no one in the nearby ten miles and eight towns is willing to come to propose. In this way, year after year, until Huiniang turned seventeen, she finally waited for her mother-in-law and father-in-law.

Xianggong's situation is roughly the same as Huiniang's, the difference is that Xianggong is not because of his own reasons, but because of his father-in-law. My father-in-law is deaf and can't do anything very early, no matter how strong my mother-in-law is, life at home is extremely sad. It was not easy to feed the prime minister. Xianggong himself is very competitive, less than eleven, so he went to Buzhuang as an apprentice, he is obedient and capable, and diligent and hard-working, soon won the trust of the shopkeeper, began to follow the business. In the past few years, it can be regarded as a small achievement, but unfortunately the marriage has been delayed.

The shopkeeper of Nabu Zhuang had some friendship with Hui Niang's grandfather, and he saw that he was down-to-earth and capable, and he had not yet married, so he intended to match him. Seeing that the shopkeeper was the matchmaker himself, my in-laws naturally agreed, and my father was eager to marry me off as soon as possible, so he should also make this marriage.

Hui Niang and Xianggong can be regarded as love at first sight. Although her mother-in-law is a little strong, her father-in-law is very good. Over the years, he has also been considerate and thoughtful to Huiniang, and has never been harsh, not even giving a cold face. Therefore, no matter how harsh her mother-in-law scolded Hui Niang, Hui Niang couldn't bear to let her husband be caught in it. After all, it is not easy for a mother-in-law to bring up her husband with the strength of one person. ”

"In this way, your marriage is a match made in heaven. It's just that your mother-in-law, why did her attitude suddenly change so much? ”

"Maybe it's because of that." Hui Niang sighed: "Half a year after marriage, Hui Niang found that she was happy. He was full of joy and couldn't wait to tell his mother about it. When my mother learned of this, she was both happy and worried, so she came to visit her with her own money without telling her father. The prince would not accept the silver. Who knows, it is precisely because of that silver that her mother has suffered misfortune for her. ”

"Madame's mother-"

Soon after she left her mother-in-law's house, she encountered mountain bandits who looted her coat in addition to the clothes she was wearing. Not only that, but the gang of bandits also set fire to the body of the mother, so that the mother did not even have a good body left. Daddy blamed Huiniang for this, blamed Xianggong, and even blamed Huiniang's mother-in-law, giving her mother-in-law a lot of face, and her mother-in-law also began to be alienated from Huiniang because of this incident, and even dissatisfied. Hui Niang clearly remembers that the first time her mother-in-law punished Hui Niang was the night after her father made trouble and left. ”

"The first time your mother-in-law beat you, did she use those dyes to dye the cloth?"

"The first time, my mother-in-law didn't have a heart." Hui Niang explained: "At that time, she was angry in her heart, and when she saw Hui Niang, she casually threw the things in her hand towards Hui Niang. It was the height of summer, and the clothes on her body were already thin, and the mother-in-law was holding a cloth dyeing utensil in her hand, which smashed into Huiniang at once. Not only did it leave such a small wound, but it also left a little dye behind. ”

Hui Niang said, lifted her own clothes, and Xing Ruyi saw that there was a small scar on Hui Niang's abdomen closer to her navel.
