Chapter 313: Calling the Shots
Xue Hainiang sneered, her bewitching eyes were abnormally clear, and her eyebrows were slightly raised, as if she was sneering, "Don't you dare?" β
The house doctor was already sweating, but he still barely managed to steady his breathing, looked at the leaky pot in the pavilion, and silently counted the hours and slowly spoke: "Back to the side concubine Niangniang, if you feel that your subordinates are bold and reckless, you can be punished later, but now, Mrs. Chu's body is really not delayed." β
As soon as her words fell, the slightly bold lady in the pavilion also echoed: "That's right, Concubine Niangniang, if the child in Sister Chu's womb really has an accident, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for the prince to return to the house in the future." β
What she said was to the point, because Xue Hainiang never pointed the finger at her.
Xue Hainiang was silent, even without the approval of her and Mrs. Liu, no one dared to take Mrs. Chu to the other courtyard easily, and because of this, Mrs. Rao is Mrs. Chu is now like an ant on a hot pot, but she still doesn't dare to leave easily.
"Ahh
Xue Hainiang ignored it, but clasped her palms together and clapped her hands twice.
Everyone looked at each other and expressed puzzlement, and the next second, they saw Xue Hainiang's wedding maid A Ling leading a woman with a medical box on her back to step in, if Mrs. Chu looked up now, she would find that the woman with the medical box was the female doctor who was almost scolded by her the day before yesterday.
The female doctor walked up to Xue Hainiang, knelt down and saluted: "The folk girl knocks on the side concubine." Then he turned to the ladies, "Knock on the ladies." β
Xue Hainiang saw that all the ladies, except for Mrs. Liu, all the others cast puzzled glances, and then explained with a smile, " Let this concubine introduce you to you, this is the female doctor who was invited into the house by the concubine a few days ago with the intention of giving birth to Mrs. Chu, it is said that the medical skills are good, but at that time, Mrs. Chu refused in every way, and the concubine thought that since this person was invited, it is always okay to prepare, so she instructed Ah Ling to take this person down and settle it for a few days, originally thinking that she must have invited this female doctor to sit in this mansion until Mrs. Chu gave birth, but she never thought that this would happen today. β
Xue Hainiang ignored Mrs. Chu's pale cheeks due to fear, and then said with a smile: "Now, I think Mrs. Chu doesn't mind letting this female doctor diagnose your pulse." β
Mrs. Chu was stunned before she smiled far-fetchedly, "Concubine Niangniang, don't you believe in the concubine?"
Xue Hainiang shook her head lightly and said with a smile: "It's not that Concubine Ben doesn't believe you, nor does she disbelieve Mrs. Ling, it's because Concubine Ben believes in the two of you that she feels that this matter is very tricky." Both of you are sisters in this mansion who will get along with Concubine Ben day and night in the future, and Concubine Ben does not want to favor one of them, but wrongs one of them, since Mrs. Ling begged Concubine Ben to give her a chance, then Concubine Ben had to bother this doctor to come over, and there was no need to delay for too long. β
"Besides, I see that Mrs. Chu is uncomfortable now, and Concubine Ben remembers that this female doctor is very good at obstetrics and gynecology, and she thinks she will be more proficient than the house doctor. Xue Hainiang paused, looked down to the hand on her lower abdomen, and smiled.
Xue Hainiang no longer let Mrs. Chu delay like this, and glanced at the female doctor, who put down the medicine box and stepped forward, trying to diagnose Mrs. Chu's pulse.
Mrs. Chu seemed to be struggling before dying, desperately refused, insisting on not letting the female doctor touch her pulse, this dancing appearance was really the opposite of Fang Cai's painful and dying appearance.
The female doctor was very helpless. "Madam Ling, if you resist so stubbornly, the folk girl really can't diagnose your pulse. β
Mrs. Chu couldn't wait for her to turn around and leave, but in the end, it was unsatisfactory. Xue Hainiang glanced at Juan'er and Ah Ling, and Ah Ling immediately stepped forward heroically - holding down Mrs. Chu for the female doctor, seeing Ah Ling like this, Rao was a little retreating, and Juan'er, who was overflowing, could only step forward with courage.
Mrs. Chu shouted loudly again, and scolded Xue Hainiang and Mrs. Ling for being together, and did not forget to ask Mrs. Liu to call the shots.
Seeing this scene, Mrs. Ling didn't mention how happy her heart was, she knew that Mrs. Chu must have already collaborated with Mrs. Liu, if it weren't for this, how could she call for help to Mrs. Liu at this time? Now that she has broken the idea of Mrs. Chu's child in her womb as the 'son of the world', it is also equivalent to breaking the idea of Mrs. Liu climbing up, which is really happy.
Xue Hainiang was still watching coldly, and after the female doctor took the pulse of about half a pillar of incense, the female doctor removed her fingertips and owed Xue Hainiang before she spoke: "Concubine Niangniang, this lady is not pregnant." β
As soon as these words came out, everyone at the banquet looked shocked and looked incredulous, and even Madam Yin, who had always been good friends with Madame Chu, couldn't help but defend herself: "You, you are secretly colluding with Madam Ling and framingββ"
Mrs. Chu knelt down towards Mrs. Liu at this time, and no longer had the luxury of hoping that Xue Hainiang could return her 'innocence', "I beg Mrs. to be in charge, Mrs. Ling actually did such a thing in order to murder the imperial heir in the concubine's womb." After saying that, he glared at the female doctor angrily, looking like he was eager to sleep on his skin and drink his blood.
The female doctor was stunned in place, she was only responsible for coming to diagnose the pulse, where would she have thought that there would be such a scene, colluding with Mrs. Ling to murder the imperial heir in her womb?
Who will tell him which one Mrs. Ling is?
Mrs. Ling's heart finally settled peacefully, and when she heard this, she couldn't help laughing, "Collusion? Not to mention that this person was originally invited by the side concubine Niangniang to treat Mrs. Chu." It was Mrs. Chu who met her first, not the concubine, and from this alone, the concubine had no chance of colluding with this doctor. Besides, this female doctor has been under the care of the side concubine Niangniang before, could it be that you want to say that the concubine and the side concubine Niangniang colluded with this female doctor just to wronged you?"
As soon as the words fell, Mrs. Liu, who had always been polite and smiling like a flower, couldn't help but turn cold, at such a juncture, obviously, if anyone had anything to do with Mrs. Chu, I was afraid that they would all end up being a bully-
She hurriedly brushed herself off, "Sister Chu, I'm afraid what you said is inappropriate, in this mansion, the highest rank is the side concubine Niangniang, the side concubine Niangniang hasn't spoken yet, why did you ask for me, this lord, I'm afraid I can't do it easily." β
These words not only picked himself up quietly, but also deliberately praised Xue Hainiang, and pushed her to the forefront, which is undoubtedly a plan to kill three birds with one stone.
But she didn't know that Xue Hainiang was waiting for such an opportunity to stand up.
