Chapter Twenty-Four: Good Medicine and Bitter Taste
Jin Xilan was taking care of the account books, and Songmi walked in with a sad face.
"Madam, Ankang Yuan is sick and not at ease, and is clamoring to take a concubine for the general."
"What?" Jin Xilan looked up from the ledger and almost burst out laughing.
"The general hasn't woken up yet, the old lady is really 'caring', so she is in a hurry to take a concubine for the general?"
I'm afraid that the old lady's mind is not here, she wants someone to enter the house to contain her!
The old lady would have underestimated her.
Jin Xilan closed the account book, got up and walked out, "Follow Mrs. Ben to Ankang Yuan to have a look." ”
Ankang Yuan at this time.
The old lady was full of complaints, "What kind of evil did the General's Mansion create, marrying such a daughter-in-law." ”
"Now that the lord is not in the mansion, Jin Xilan is going to torture the old body to death by virtue of the identity of the concubine of the Hou Mansion, and the old body is really ashamed of the ancestors."
As soon as Jin Xilan stepped into Ankang Yuan, he saw the old lady holding her forehead with one hand, patting her thigh and refusing to take medicine.
Shi Yan hurriedly persuaded on the side, "Mother, don't be angry, if your sister-in-law doesn't succeed, you can just bang and knock, don't be angry with your body." ”
"No matter what, you have to take care of your body, how can you not take medicine."
The old lady was about to say something, when she saw a figure stepping into the doorway.
She immediately fell ill again, and screamed in her mouth, "The old body is useless, and no matter how much medicine you take, you can't relieve your heart disease, don't persuade me." ”
Qinglian on the side was holding the medicine bowl and was anxious not knowing what to do.
As soon as Qinglian turned her head, she saw Jin Xilan, and hurriedly put down the medicine bowl and ran over and knelt in front of her.
"Madam, you have a lot of help for the old lady, the old lady is so angry with you that she can't stay for several days, and she can't even take medicine now, so please persuade him."
"Mrs. Ben is angry?" Jin Xilan glanced at Qinglian coldly, and snorted coldly, "Qinglian, you are very bold, you dare to buckle any basin on Mrs. Ben's head, is it possible that you also want to be sent to Zhuangzi?" ”
"The slave doesn't dare, the slave and the maid are also thinking about the old lady's body, even if the lady asks for the slave's life, the slave and the maid have to say." Qinglian's eyes were red aggrieved, but those eyes were full of calculation.
Jin Xilan looked at it coldly, and didn't listen to it in his heart at all.
This girl has always been the confidant of the old woman, but now at a young age, she has learned the old lady's tricks and grievances.
Shi Yan saw that she was finally willing to come forward, and angrily stepped forward and wanted to slap her.
Jin Xilan's expression suddenly sank, and he warned in a cold voice, "Sister-in-law, you have to think about it, I can cure you of a disrespectful crime with this slap!" ”
"You ......"
Shi Yan's eyes were red by her words, but the slap was still fixed in mid-air after all, and she didn't dare to slap it down.
She gritted her teeth and withdrew her hand, squeezing out a sentence, "Don't think that you can get past us by marrying my brother, after all, my mother is an elder, and you don't even care about your mother's life?" ”
The old lady seemed to comply with Shi Yan's words, "It's really the opposite, the old body is still sick now, and he was actually knocked on the door by his daughter-in-law, causing evil." ”
Jin Xilan's beautiful eyes glanced at the old lady on the bed.
Pretending to be sick is quite similar, but the shrewdness in her eyes betrays her.
"The mother should not charge her daughter-in-law with such a crime for no reason, and the daughter-in-law can't afford it."
She walked over to the bed and was about to stretch out her hand......
The old lady exhaled bitterly, "You even dare to beat your mother, is there a general's mansion in your eyes!" ”
Jin Xilan was almost laughed at.
This self-directed and self-acting is really smooth.
Her sharp eyes swept at the old lady, and she said slowly, "Don't act, no one here is watching this play played by my mother." ”
"Since my mother refuses to take medicine, then my mother doesn't have to send someone to the account office to pay the money to buy medicinal materials, and it just so happens to be saved for the general to regulate his body."
"What did you say?"
The old lady was angry for a while, and suddenly sat up and stared at her with round eyes to warn her, "Don't think that now that you are in charge of the account room, you can manage the head of the old body, no matter how you say that the old body is also the general's biological mother." ”
"If the general wakes up and knows what you have done, he will definitely let you go to court!"
Jin Xilan pretended to be surprised and covered his mouth, pointed at the old woman, "Mother, is this body okay?" ”
Shi Yan was stunned, "Mother ......"
The old lady came back to her senses and realized that she was too excited, so she hurriedly lay back again, "Oh, the old body is so angry with you that I almost can't get up in one breath." ”
Qinglian's eyes rolled, and she quickly stepped forward to play a round game.
"The old lady would rather not be angry, the lady would never do this."
Seeing this, Jin Xilan sneered in his heart.
Want to bang her?
She won't be as tolerant as she was in her previous life.
She picked up the medicine bowl that was placed aside and quietly poured medicine into the bowl.
Slowly handed it to the old lady, "Mother, let's take medicine, since you are sick, there is no reason not to take medicine, otherwise I really suspect that my mother is pretending to be sick." ”
"What nonsense are you talking about, the old body has become like this now, you are still there!" The old lady couldn't get up in a breath of anger, and coughed again and again.
Jin Xilan was not used to her, and the medicine bowl in his hand was handed up again, "Then my mother will have to take medicine even more, if she doesn't take it......"
She suddenly smiled, her tone full of threats, "Mother refuses to take medicine, and she always pays money from the account to buy medicinal herbs, this money ...... Where did it go? ”
The old lady was able to see that her body stiffened, and she instantly forgot about Sapo.
She moved her eyes to look at Jin Xilan, and for some reason, her daughter-in-law, who used to respect her everywhere, had such a terrifying gaze.
At present, the key to the account room is in Jin Xilan's hands, if he can't pay the money...... Then she's going to have a hard time.
The old lady looked at the medicine bowl in Jin Xilan's hand, her brows tightened, "Just drink it, if you dare to deduct the old body's medicinal material money, the old body will never spare you!" ”
With that, she snatched the medicine bowl, held her breath and drank it all in one gulp.
But in the next moment, she coughed violently, and the medicine bowl in her hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
"Qinglian, why is this medicine so bitter!"
Jin Xilan laughed in a cold tone, "Mother has drunk the medicine for so many days, how can she not know that the medicine is bitter?" ”
"The so-called good medicine is bitter, if my mother wants to get better faster, she can drink some medicine in peace."
Just now, she took advantage of no one's attention to put a bitter ginseng in the bowl, which was extremely bitter.
Since the old lady wants to pretend to be sick, she has to make her suffer something.
But these hardships are too much of a piece of cake for myself in my previous life!
The old lady was choked.
Naturally, she couldn't say that she hadn't really taken medicine in the past few days, and she was suddenly extremely aggrieved.
