Chapter Twenty-Three: Late Return



[Chapter 3, Volume 3]

Section 154

“…… I think, isn't this two sisters-in-law doing this for Aunt Guo? Exhausted, I returned to Jintong Courtyard and found that the Huang family had returned. It's Shen Zangfeng, who argues that even if he invited his colleagues for a drink like yesterday, he should have arrived home, but he hasn't been seen yet.

Wei Changying didn't have time to care about him for a while, so she only instructed the maid under the corridor to see Shen Zangfeng coming back to say goodbye, so she pulled Huang to whisper, "I looked at Aunt Guo before, I was suspicious of the second sister-in-law, and last time I wanted to take advantage of the second sister-in-law's absence, and let the sister-in-law or me investigate the matter of Luqiao's miscarriage." This matter is not a secret, it is not difficult for the second sister-in-law to know, this is deliberately putting Aunt Guo together? ”

Duanmu obviously has enough evidence to prove that Luqiao's miscarriage was because she accidentally killed the child, and then in order to evade responsibility, she faked that she was murdered with abortion pills to get rid of the crime - but she didn't say it until she provoked Shen Yushi to be furious, beat and scolded her, and everyone in the house knew about it, so that she was wronged one by one.

With such a fuss, even if the Duanmu family doesn't come, Mrs. Su will scold Shen Yushi after she comes back. And Aunt Guo had looked for the Liu family before, and called the guard chief who had just entered the door to the big room to tell her about it...... Originally, she was a concubine, and this kind of thing was not her turn at all. Even if Shen Yongshi didn't admit that she had a seizure after listening to her suspicion of Duanmu's words this time, could others not think so?

When Wei Changying didn't pass the door, she heard her grandmother and mother talk about it, saying that Mrs. Su has always respected the rules. The concubine meddled in her daughter-in-law's backyard, this alone was enough to make Mrs. Su angry, not to mention that Mrs. Deng is seriously ill now, it is conceivable that Mrs. Su's mood will not be good.

Perhaps, even Shen Yushi privately felt that he had wronged his wife by listening to his biological mother's words this time, and thought that his biological mother was really unwise......

Although Shen Xuan likes Aunt Guo's appearance, she thinks she also has a status in the backyard. But no matter how much you like it, it's just a concubine, can Shen Xuan still scold his wife or daughter-in-law for her transgression?

is also a daughter-in-law, Wei Changying selfishly stood on Duanmu's side: "Last time I was called to the big room by my sister-in-law, and when I saw Aunt Guo, I felt that this aunt was also troublesome. Even if the mother is not in the house, the Su family is also in the imperial capital, and it is only right to send someone over to tell him and ask his mother to do things again. What is she caught in it? Thinking of the face of my father and second brother, I can't say anything serious to her, and I don't want to think about how we who are daughters-in-law can explain to our mothers if we agree to her? ”

Huang smiled and said: "The second son is Aunt Guo's biological flesh and blood, can Aunt Guo not watch more about the matter of the second room?" However, the second young lady was born in a prestigious family and has her own heart, not to mention that according to the rules, the second lady only wants to serve the lady, where can the aunt ask the second young lady to serve respectfully and respectfully, and tell you everything? But although Aunt Guo is a concubine, she doesn't seem to be willing to be a low-lying master, and it is not surprising that she and the second young lady look at each other. In the end, it is the biological mother of the second son, no matter how humble Aunt Guo's identity is, the second son will believe her a little bit after all. ”

"She is just a biological mother, not a mother-in-law, let the second sister-in-law treat her like a mother, not to mention whether it is in line with the rules or not, just say that in the mother's place, how does the second sister-in-law deal with herself?" Wei Changying said, "I've always heard that my mother respects rules, but I didn't expect that there are such pampered and arrogant people in this mansion. ”

Huang gently patted the back of her hand, and smiled calmly: "Hengzhu, our son is a descendant, no matter how restless Aunt Guo is, the headache is always the second young lady." Last time in the big house, didn't the young lady also want to talk to her more, and sent people away in a few words? According to the maid's opinion, if it weren't for Miss Liu Shi, the young lady would not be too lazy to listen to her, and the young lady would have gone over! ”

Wei Changying hurriedly asked, "Auntie, let's go to Doctor Ji today?" ”

"The doctor has prescribed a few prescriptions." Huang smiled and said, "It's also a coincidence, Miss Duanmu Ba is also there today, and Miss Ba is very happy with the divine doctor, so as soon as she heard what the maid said, the divine doctor agreed." ”

Wei Changying said: "Didn't the eighth lady of the Duanmu family be invited to the Su family to treat her grandmother?" ”

The corners of Huang's mouth curled, and he smiled slightly: "Yes, the mother of the second young lady went to find Miss Eight in person, but Miss Eight had to go to the Su family because of the face of the aunt, but after staying for a long time, she used the excuse that she was not good at learning and art, and wanted to go back to consult Doctor Ji and go to the doctor's house!" ”

"What does this mean? Could it be that Miss Duanmu Ba didn't want to treat Mrs. Deng? Wei Changying asked in surprise.

"Miss Duanmu Ba is annoyed that the Su family invited Imperial Doctor Ji first, and then invited her." Huang said with a smile, "Today, the maid heard her indignantly say in front of the divine doctor, what does it mean that Mrs. Ji heals the rest of the people and then looks for her?" Since you have found Imperial Doctor Ji, why bother her again if you don't hang herself on the tree in the Imperial Hospital...... She wasn't in the mood to clean up the mess for the doctors. ”

Wei Changying was surprised: "I thought that the second sister-in-law was the clan sister of Miss Duanmu Eight, she went and said, Miss Eight would definitely do her best." ”

"There are many sisters in everyone, and it is impossible for all of them to be close." Huang said, "Take the eldest young lady and Miss Liu Shi as examples, if it weren't for Miss Liu Shi's mother who saved the life of the eldest young lady, she would have died for this, causing Miss Liu Shi to suffer a lot at the hands of her stepmother...... The young lady is also a conscientious person, so she protects Miss Liu Shi like this. Otherwise, the young lady saw that there were many girls in the Liu family, and the eldest young lady didn't all receive the Shen family's small residence from time to time, and begged the young lady to let the maid go to check the pulse. ”

He added, "It's not that Miss Duanmu Ba or the eldest young lady don't love their own family, in fact, this time Mrs. Deng's idea of inviting Imperial Doctor Ji to fight Divine Doctor Ji is not right." Not to mention the past events between the Deng family and Doctor Ji, only that Doctor Ji and the Ji family are not in harmony, and they were even forced by the Ji family to not even stay in the ancestral house that was easy to redeem, so they could only go to the east of the city to buy a house to live in, which shows the bad relationship between the two sides! This is not a secret in the imperial capital, but the second young lady and her mother have to ask Miss Duanmu Ba to take over the diagnosis and treatment of Mrs. Deng for the sake of the second young lady's status in the Shen family and in the eyes of the lady!

"Why don't you want to think about it, Miss Duanmu Ba, who is the only disciple of Divine Doctor Ji, has treated Old Madam Deng, but how can she explain to her master? Doctor Ji is now famous all over the world, and there is no need to show his reputation by curing patients that Mrs. Ji can't heal! Even if his status is not as good as Miss Duanmu Ba, Miss Duanmu Ba is a serious apprentice! What's more, the maid saw that Miss Eight respected Doctor Ji very much, maybe she had been annoyed that the Ji family had treated Doctor Ji badly! How could he be willing to take over the patients that Mrs. Ji had treated and could not be cured well, and relieve the siege for Mrs. Ji...... The second young lady only thinks about herself and does not think about Miss Duanmu Ba this time. Although Miss Eight didn't say anything to the maid, the maid saw that Miss Eight was obviously not very happy. ”

When Wei Changying heard these words, she inevitably thought of Wei Gaochan and Wei Changyan, and she was a little stunned in her heart, and she didn't want to continue to talk about the Duanmu family, so she said: "Since Doctor Ji prescribed a prescription, when will you give it to your sister-in-law?" ”

"Son, let's go."

Wei Changying was surprised: "Didn't my aunt say that she wanted to make her sister-in-law and Miss Liu Shi feel that it was not easy to seek medical treatment this time?" "Why is it that now that it's dark, she still has to rush over?

Huang smiled and said, "Yes, but I didn't expect the divine doctor to be so easy to talk about today." Originally, the maid wanted to say it casually, but the doctor didn't agree, so she ran two more times, grinding the doctor to prescribe a prescription casually, and when the maid came back, she said that she had the guidance of the doctor and went to diagnose and treat Miss Liu Shi. Now that I have obtained so many prescriptions at once, I can't hide the feelings of the miracle doctor...... Young lady, please think about it, the young lady will be thinking about Miss Liu Shi's body and bones, let's be so anxious, can the young lady and Miss Liu Shi not be grateful? If it drags on for another day, although they won't say anything, they don't think we pay too much attention to Miss Liu Shi's body - both horizontally and vertically are in the same house, not a few steps away. ”

Wei Changying asked again: "Then you want me to go with my aunt?" ”

"No." Huang said, "Let the maid go alone, it seems that the young lady doesn't take the young lady's favor to heart, but she sympathizes with Miss Liu Shi and helps Miss Shi." This way, the effect will be even better! ”

"Auntie is so shrewd." Wei Changying secretly wiped her sweat, these people are sophisticated, they can't understand the essence of it in just a few words, but the Huang family is a credible person, and it is much easier to have this Aunt Huang by his side.

After the Huang family left, Wei Changying saw that Shen Zangfeng had not come back, so he couldn't help but feel strange, sent someone to the front, called Shen Ju, and asked, "How long have you been following the third prince?" ”

Shen Ju lowered his hand outside the screen and replied, "The younger one has followed the third son since he was ten years old. ”

"What should you know about the situation of the third son's errand?" Wei Changying asked softly, "Is this already over?" ”

Shen Ju said: "Back to the young lady's words, it has already passed. ”

"Someone at the door said that the third prince has something to do that needs to come back late today?" Wei Changying frowned.

"Back to the young lady's words, the little one has been in front, and I haven't seen anyone coming."

That is, Shen Zangfeng returned late, but he didn't send anyone back to explain?

Wei Changying was full of doubts, he was as late as Shen Zangfeng yesterday, but he was so good at kung fu, so he took the initiative to say the reason. Why is it so late today, but you don't call someone to say a word?

Judging from the past few days, Shen Zangfeng is considerate and meticulous, not like a person who only cares about his stay outside and ignores his wife's anticipation at home...... Wait, anticipation?

Wei Changying pinched the handkerchief hard, her face was slightly red, and she secretly took a bite to herself: Who is looking forward to him? I'm just ...... Well, curiosity, yes, just curiosity, what is it that stumbles him so that he can't get out of it? Isn't it related to what Princess Linchuan and what Zhang Pingxu?

She waved Shen Ju away in a huff, and asked Qin Ge to go to the kitchen to tell him not to be in a hurry to prepare dinner first, and had the intention to send someone to the palace gate to inquire, and felt that the newlywed was so close to Shen Zangfeng, which couldn't help but make people laugh - after all, at the feet of the emperor capital, what else could happen? Most of the time Shen Zangfeng went to drink or do something with his colleagues and friends.

Pacing back and forth in the room for a long time, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps on the porch, and then the door was pushed open, Wei Changying was overjoyed, and turned his head to look, but it was Huang.

Huang Shi saw that her face went from surprise to surprise and disappointment, and saw that Wei Changying was the only one in the room except for the maid, and he was also stunned, and said, "Why hasn't the son come back yet?" ”

"yes." Wei Changying sighed and asked listlessly, "Auntie and sister-in-law, Miss Liu Shi, have you agreed?" ”

Originally, the Huang family planned to tell the story in detail, but now that Wei Changying is in no mood to listen carefully, he will make a long story short: "The eldest young lady and Miss Liu Shi are very grateful, and they will definitely repay the young lady in the future." ”

"It's my aunt's credit, but it doesn't really have anything to do with me." Wei Changying said absentmindedly.

Huang smiled and said, "How can it have nothing to do with the young lady?" If it weren't for the young lady, Miss Liu Shi and Miss Zhang Shi's ...... What does it have to do with a servant? The maid said that the maid studied medical science with Doctor Ji at the beginning, in order to share the worries of our old lady, not to hang the pot to help the world. ”

Wei Changying sighed and said to herself, "Why haven't people come back?" Obviously, he didn't listen to Huang's words at all.

Huang is also a little worried - in her eyes these days, the newlyweds are so good that they are honey and oily, Wei Changying is tender, the first person is a wife, and some of them are pretentious and not very open, Shen Zangfeng is very considerate of his wife. If you don't have to, you won't be late. Even if it must be delayed, someone will be sent back to report the reason for this.

Shen Zangfeng is not the only one by Shen Zangfeng's side, and it is impossible to distinguish manpower...... Why is there no news until now?

Huang thought about it for a while, and then said, "The maid went to ask Sister Wan and asked her to send someone out to greet her." ”

Wei Changying was reminded by her to remember the Wan family, and was about to speak, but someone outside shouted in surprise: "Childe is back!" ”
