Chapter 190: Self-Inflicted

Mu Jiaojiao has made it clear that she will not come to see her. Now, isn't she deliberately making such a request to find fault?

Mrs. Cao was very helpless: "Auntie, Mrs. Cui Liushao is about to go to Yangzhou, and she is busy with a mess now!

"What do you see Imperial Doctor Liu? If he could prescribe the other party, my illness should have been cured a long time ago, why did it drag on until now?" Old Madam Cui shouted angrily, "You just go to Cui's house and say, let her explain the prescription to me." If it was right, I would have drunk it. ”

Speaking of which, she just wants Mu Jiaojiao to come and check her pulse in person, and then she can rest assured.

Mrs. Cao sighed in a low voice: "Auntie forgives her sins, and her daughter-in-law really can't invite Mrs. Cui Liu." ”

"You dare to shirk responsibility? Who gave you the guts?" Old Mrs. Cao became angry again when she heard this, and kept patting the edge of the bed with one hand.

Mrs. Cao hung her head and said nothing.

Mrs. Cao sneered: "I know, is what she said right? She is still angry because of the disrespect that Thirteen Niang did to her last time, so now she refuses to even cross the door of my Cao family? ”

Mrs. Cao was shocked when she heard this. "Auntie, you know that Young Lady Cui Liu is not because of this!"

Even if she marries into the Cui family, she is also the daughter of a merchant, and this is a mark that has been imprinted on her for a lifetime! What if she is now a county lady, my son is still Chang'an Ling! As for the official position, her husband will have to struggle for at least 20 years before he can be on an equal footing with my son. I asked her to come and see me, and that was to save face!" said Mrs. Cao.

It's just that no matter how you listen to this, you feel very guilty. Mrs. Cao was still silent, and when Mrs. Cao saw this, her eyes darkened, and she waved her hand directly and said, "The matter is so decided." You go and prepare a generous gift again, and ask Thirteen Niang to come to the door to admit your mistake! However, Thirteen Niang is still young, so let Aunt Mu accompany her. Go down!"

"Yes, Auntie, you have a good rest. Mrs. Cao reluctantly retreated and let out a long sigh.

When Cao Shu knew that Mrs. Cao actually asked her to make amends to Mu Jiaojiao, her tears fell from her eyes.

"I was angry with her at the time, and then didn't I also give her the shrimp bracelet that Daddy gave me? I and she have both cleared up, why do you want me to make amends now? Really count, she bullied me several times later, and she came to make amends to me!"

"Thirteen Niang, that's not what I said. Now it's the old lady who asks you to go, can you not go?" Aunt Mu said helplessly, "And it's about the physical condition of the elders, you go to the doctor on her behalf, that's filial piety, you can't refuse." ”

"But, if you want me to bow my head to her, are you trying to force me to death?" Cao Shu cried incessantly, "I won't go!

"Thirteen Niang, now is not the time to play tricks. This time, you can't help but go!" Aunt Mu drank coldly.

Cao Shu was stunned for a moment, and Aunt Mu took her into her arms again: "Silly child, do you think you still have a choice now? Since the sixth lady married into the Cui family, the status of the aunt in this mansion has been getting worse day by day. The old lady is getting colder and colder to you. Now this matter is not only a difficulty, but also an opportunity. If you can really invite your sixth cousin, it will be a great achievement, and you may have a chance to raise your eyebrows at home in the future. Don't you understand?"

Cao Shu immediately gritted her teeth. "It's all her fault!

"What does all this have to do with her? If you want to blame it, you can only blame the aunt for not being capable, relying on the Mu family's wealth, but she only entered the Cao family to be an aunt. Your sixth cousin is a real capable person, not only married into a high-ranking family and famous in Chang'an, but now she is also a county lady. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid her future will be more than that. Thirteen Niang, listen to your aunt, don't get along with your sixth cousin anymore, take this opportunity to have a good relationship with her, maybe she can also see the relationship with your cousin in the future. Aunt Mu sighed.

Cao Shu subconsciously wanted to refuse. But think about it, how can she still have that qualification now? Suddenly, the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried.

But after crying, she still dressed up obediently, and then went to Mu's house with Aunt Mu to ask Gong for help. Gong didn't see Mu Jiaojiao last time, so he didn't feel very happy. Now that I learned that Mu Jiaojiao not only used 100,000 yuan to make a good reputation, but also smashed the attention of the saint, and even exchanged a few prescriptions for Cui Pu for an official body, my heart was very sour--it was originally her son's money! The prescription was also brought into the Mu family by Mu Jiaojiao's aunt when she married Mu You! These should have been the Mu family!

Therefore, she took the Mu family's things in exchange for these many things, and she should always give the Mu family a little benefit, right?

With this in mind, she agreed to Aunt Mu's request.

But Gong learned smartly this time. She first asked someone to send a post to Mu Jiaojiao, and after getting Mu Jiaojiao's consent, she took Aunt Mu and Cao Shu to Cui's mansion together.

Listening to Aunt Mu's intentions, and then looking at Cao Shu, who bowed her head and didn't say a word, Mu Jiaojiao smiled and said: "Since my aunt and cousin sincerely came to invite, I can't afford to save your face." I'll go to Cao's house again. ”

I didn't expect her to agree so happily, Cao Shu raised her head in surprise, and met Mu Jiaojiao's smiling face. She immediately bit her lip and didn't start.

The group simply cleaned up, and the carriage and horses were cleaned up. Mu Jiaojiao climbed into the carriage and got into the carriage, not wanting to be alone in it.

"Didn't you go to the shop with Brother Ah and Lu Jiu?" Mu Jiaojiao was slightly startled.

"Been there, just came back. After getting off the horse, I heard that the Cao family was here again today, and I expected that you would definitely agree this time, so I simply waited for you here. Cui Pu said, as soon as he dragged her to his side and sat down, he fell asleep on her lap.

Mu Jiaojiao was helpless. "If you're tired, go back to sleep! ”

"Who said I was there to help you? I obviously just want to see the excitement, okay?" Cui Pu opened his eyes unhappily, "You didn't have the Cui family as your backer before, you were already able to bluff them into a daze, do you need to say it this time?" But the old woman of the Cao family is really hateful, and she still holds the shelf that I don't know where she got it, and she is a little girl, she is easy to bully when we are the Cui family? This time, you must give her some color and take a look!"

"Okay!" Mu Jiaojiao nodded hurriedly and touched his head with both hands, "I know this matter in my heart, you can lie down first!"

"Well, you rub it for me. It's still your technique, soft and comfortable, yes, after you rubbed it for me, I didn't feel tired at all. Cui Pu muttered, and soon there was only a comfortable hum left in his nose.

Mu Jiaojiao has one car per person, and Gong and Aunt Mu and Cao Shu have one car. They first saw Mu Jiaojiao get into the car, and then they heard the sound coming from the car, Gong's face immediately turned white, and he turned his head sideways and said: "In broad daylight, I am not ashamed!"

Aunt Mu hurriedly pulled her up. "Sister-in-law, let's get in the car quickly! So he hurriedly pushed the man into the car.

When the carriage arrived at Cao's Mansion, Cui Pu just woke up from sleep.

He politely refused Aunt Mu's kindness to invite a man to accompany him, insisted on following Mu Jiaojiao, and entered Mrs. Cao's courtyard with her.

When they entered Mrs. Cao's bedroom, they saw that the bed tent was hanging low, and a figure lying flat was faintly seen inside. A little maid hurriedly said: "The old lady has just fallen asleep, Mrs. Cui Liu, do you want to check the old lady's pulse now?"

Mu Jiaojiao nodded in agreement.

The maid took out Mrs. Cao's hand, and Mu Jiaojiao pressed her two fingers on the pulse, and noticed that her pulse was short and uneven, and she was obviously pretending to be asleep.

The corners of his lips hooked: "The last time Mrs. Cao went to see me, she had already explained the old lady's illness very clearly. I've seen it today, and I'm still talking about those words, and I'm still prescribing the same prescription. But—"

She could slow down, and then she saw that the old lady Cao on the other end of the bed tent was stiff.

"The old lady's condition is more serious than I expected. In the future, you must remember to serve her well, and you can't let her continue to be angry like this. Now, although taking medicine can lower the fire in the liver meridian, the human body has its own set of operating systems, and it is not possible to rely on external forces to coordinate all the time. Over time, it will definitely make her body resistant to drugs. When the time comes, the evil heat breeds and invades the internal organs, and there is no way to return to the sky, and the Daluo Immortal has no choice. ”

"You talk nonsense!"

Finally, Mrs. Cao still couldn't hold back, opened the curtain and shouted: "I asked you to treat the disease with kind words, but I didn't let you curse me!"

"I'm telling the truth, if you don't believe it, Madam Cao, you can try it. Mu Jiaojiao said indifferently, and bowed to her, "I've finished saying what I should say, if you believe me, old lady, take medicine according to the prescription! At least this prescription can still cure your illness now." That's all I have to say, and I take my leave. ”

Then he turned his head and walked away.

"Lady, slow down, wait for me!" Cui Pu hurriedly shouted, but before leaving, he didn't forget to look back, and saw that Mrs. Cao's face was red, and she was almost smoking.

"Hahaha!" Back in the carriage, he couldn't help laughing, "Where are you here to treat people? You are obviously here to make her worsen her condition, right? Just say this to you, she will definitely be even more angry in the future." ”

"She had to invite me herself. Didn't I say I didn't want to come at the beginning?" Mu Jiaojiao shrugged and said helplessly.

Cui Pu laughed again.

Sure enough, it was only by her side that he could completely relax.
