Stepmother Shaoguang

But Xu Ruyun didn't tell her what it was, and said vaguely: "It's not some expensive medicinal materials, they are all common, and I don't know much about it."

Chunzao wants to say that every day is the same prescription, how many years, how could he not remember clearly?
But she can't say such things.

He Shaoguang felt nothing, and she didn't care about a prescription.

But what she didn't expect was that it was the two herbs that they ignored that played a huge role in Lu Ruqing's condition.

As soon as He Shaoguang came back to the small room dedicated to decocting medicine for Lu Ruqing, he saw Xu Ruyun personally guarding the medicine jar, and pouring the medicine juice from the jar into a wide-mouthed bowl. Even wrapped in a cloth towel, his bare hands were scalding flushed.

"How long have you been taking this prescription, does sister-in-law think it works?"

"This prescription was prescribed by an old doctor, and I changed the medicine taken by other doctors halfway, but it was not as good as this one, so I kept taking it." Xu Ruyun clearly remembered Lu Ruqing's reaction after eating each prescription, "Only this prescription has some effect when taken when the attack is severe."

"You girl is unfamiliar, yet you know medicine? Why didn't you take those two out today?" Xu Ruyun looked at Chunzao, but Chunzao didn't feel offended, because Xu Ruyun's eyes didn't despise her.

"Her family has practiced medicine for generations, and she was forced to sell herself as a slave because of an accident in the middle. It's not just about medicine, she can cure some common diseases and pains."

The maids in Qiangweiyuan don’t like to see a doctor for some minor ailments and pains. They can just go to Chunzao. They usually give some copper coins as consultation fees, and she won’t charge too much, and then prescribe prescriptions. Find someone to grab the medicine.

Because Chunzao knew that everyone didn't have much money, and she wouldn't make money from acquaintances she spent day and night with, so the medicines on the prescriptions were all economical and effective.

After hearing this, Xu Ruyun looked at her with a deeper smile: "It's really kind, no wonder your wife is willing to use you, don't disappoint her expectations."

After finishing speaking, while the medicine was a little cold, he quickly picked it up and walked outside, and after turning a corner, he arrived at Lu Ruqing's room.

He put on a coat and looked in good spirits.

"Ah Qing, the medicine is ready, I'll feed you." Xu Ruyun wanted to feed him the medicine one mouthful as usual, but Lu Ruqing grabbed her wrist.

"I will do it myself."

Lu Ruqing motioned to He Shaoguang to watch, his earlobe reddened slightly: "Your brother and sister are still here, you will make fun of me when you go back."

He Shaoguang smiled and shook his head: "You two, pretend that I'm not here. I'm just walking around bored."

Lu Ruqing insisted on taking the medicine bowl by himself, as if he couldn't taste the bitterness of the medicine, he raised his head and gulped down.

His bony hands clasped the rim of the bowl, his pale complexion and the medicine bowl made of white jade, for a moment he couldn't tell which was whiter.

He Shaoguang's brows twitched, but there were some people who even looked sick like a banished immortal.

"Sister-in-law, didn't anyone learn Dr. Cui's acupuncture?" When we parted, she couldn't help asking, why didn't the doctors in the mansion write down the acupuncture after so many opportunities?
"This is what people eat, how can we arrange for people to steal the teacher?"

Xu Ruyun didn't seem to have any regrets and had already accepted it.

After she left, Shuliu quietly said to Xu Ruyun: "Ma'am, do you see that the eyes of Chunzao next to Second Madam are very similar to Dr. Cui's? Could it be his daughter?"

Chunzao used to be hungry under Madam Wu's hands, her beautiful face was so hungry that her brows and eyes drooped, but this year it bloomed, and Xu Ruyun noticed it alone, and then she was recognized.

Xu Ruyun already had the answer in her heart, but she didn't confirm Shuliu's conjecture on the surface: "There are so many similar people in the world, is it related to all of them? Maybe it's a coincidence."

She arranged for Lu Ruqing to go to bed, and it was still early, so she came to the pharmacy, took out the dregs of the medicine, identified the medicinal ingredients in the dregs of the medicine under the weak light of the candlestick, and then quickly picked out several of them, put them into the shovel, Buried in the yard.

Her movements are very neat, and it looks like she has been proficient for a long time.

These medicinal residues were buried in the ground, and after a long time, the land in this area was soaked black, but with the surrounding bushes blocking it, almost no one could see it.

Finally, Shuliu couldn't help but secretly followed her wife to see what she was doing every day. Seeing the scene in front of her, she was very puzzled.

What is so special about these two kinds of medicinal residues that my wife wants to bury them alone, while the others are thrown out of the house with the kitchen waste the next day?
She buried her doubts in her heart and quietly went back to the room.

When Xu Ruyun returned to the house, the candles had already been extinguished. It was she who extinguished it before going out. This was to make Lu Ruqing's sleep more restful.

In fact, she prefers to leave a light on when she sleeps, because she is afraid of unknown things in the dark, but she has overcome it after so many years.

She walked lightly to the side of the bed, fumbled to take off her coat and only left her inner coat, and then sat down against the bed frame, letting out a breath.

She put her hand on Lu Ruqing's forehead, and at night, she began to feel cold again. She knew from the very beginning that there was no hope of recovery from this disease.

Xu Ruyun was pillowed beside him, and said "Ah Qing" vaguely, as if she was extremely sleepy.

The tip of her nose smelled the fragrance of medicine on Lu Ruqing's body, but she felt relieved, and fell asleep in the next second.

In the dark night, what Xu Ruyun couldn't see clearly was that Lu Ruqing was not asleep. When she called him, Lu Ruqing's eyeballs moved, and his sleepy eyelids lifted, and he looked in her direction, full of lust.

He waited for his Yuniang to fall asleep, and wrapped her in his arms, then closed his eyes again, and fell asleep contentedly.

As Shen's brother Yuan grows up day by day, this strangeness is revealed.

Lu Fengju's whole body is white, he looks like a steamed bun, Shen's skin is also fair, so it stands to reason that the child born will also be white.

However, Brother Yuan's complexion was several degrees darker than the two of them, and gradually there were rumors in the mansion that Brother Yuan was not the third master's own child, but a bastard.

Shen shi became an aunt and trembled, her face flushed with anger when she heard these rumors.

This day, he caught two gossiping young men who came to the third courtyard to deliver things. After finishing their work, they took the opportunity to stand at the base of the wall and gossiping about the masters in the mansion.

This time, she was caught face to face by Shen Shi, she decided to make an example to the monkeys, got angry a lot, and even tied him up for punishment.

Those two people were frightened when they were first arrested. When Shen's face turned red and she wanted the maid beside her to tie her up, they reacted and refused to let them get close, and their mouths became arrogant: "Aunt Shen has forgotten her identity. When will it be your turn to be the master of the three courtyards? The third wife should decide what to do. If you have a clear conscience, why don't you dare to invite the mistress?"
