Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 149 The truth (4)
"How is it impossible? Otherwise, why did my sister marry into the Hou's Mansion for more than a year, and never came back except for the day when I returned home? Even when I went to Changwu Hou's Mansion to look for my sister, I was always made things difficult by the Hou's Mansion. Laughing, I have never seen my sister, if my sister's situation in the Hou Mansion is good, how dare those servants treat me like this?" Su Wen's face flashed a trace of distress for Su Wan and Changwu Hou Mansion. anger.

"Under such circumstances, how could my sister's character not change? Otherwise, with her weak temper, she must have been bullied to death by them." Su Wen didn't know that he had told the truth. Su Wan'er was not bullied by those Have people been bullied to death?

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhao was already stunned.

Su Wen took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and continued: "My sister's situation is just a little bit better, so she couldn't help but come out of the house to see us. She gave people and medicine, and even hired a miracle doctor for my mother. The matter of going to Shoushan Academy is also very likely to be written by my sister. After all, besides my sister, who else would treat us so heartily?"

"No, it's impossible!" Shaking her head, Zhao murmured in disbelief, "How could the British government do such a thing? We are of the same family as them! We are an old ancestor, how could they Harm us? There must be some misunderstanding. Otherwise, Brother Wen, how could you still be studying at the ethnology?"

Su Wen said helplessly: "Mother, when the British government stopped asking for medical advice for my mother, I was expelled from the ethnology. It's just that I was afraid that you would be sad, so I didn't dare to tell my mother."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhao's face turned pale.After a while, she suddenly thumped the table and burst into tears——

"My poor daughter, why are you so miserable? It's all mother's fault. It's mother's incompetence that caused you to suffer such grievances. If mother had known this earlier, she would have left early and wouldn't have hurt you. of……"

As a woman, Zhao understands better than Su Wen what it means for a woman to be infertile.

Wan'er was originally from a bad background, and if coupled with her infertility, she would still be looked down upon by others despite her good looks. After all, children are the most important thing. The British government is forcing her daughter to die. ah!How many people in this world don't care about offspring?
Zhao cried for a long while, coughing up blood twice, and then gradually calmed down.

Su Wen has been waiting by the side, feeling distressed and regretful, but compared to this, he is even more reluctant to see his mother and sister become strangers.

"Mother, you should know by now why my sister's temper has changed, right? If my sister's temper doesn't change, how can I survive in the Hou Mansion?" Su Wen said.

Mrs. Zhao suppressed her tears and remained silent for a while, but still shook her head slightly and said, "No, you don't understand. I know the daughter I gave birth to myself." Her daughter might really be dead.However, it wasn't necessarily killed by evil spirits, but forced to death by those people.That's why Zen master Liaotong told her not to be attached.

"Mother—" Su Wen didn't understand why Mother still refused to believe it.

Mrs. Zhao waved her hand and said weakly, "You all go down, I want to be alone for a while."

Even though Su Wen was worried, he still turned around and left.

When Su Wan returned to Changwuhou's Mansion, her mood had returned to calm.

In the evening, she greeted Madam Tai as usual, and had dinner with Huo Yuan when she came back.

"Is it going well to go back home today?" Huo Yuan asked with concern as he took a chopstick of Su Wan's favorite dish.

"Thank you, Lord Hou, it's okay." Su Wan said with a smile.

Seeing this, Huo Yuan knew that her trip was not going well, he couldn't help but sighed slightly, and said, "Do you want me to accompany you back?"

Su Wan shook her head and smiled, "Master Hou, there's no need, I believe my mother will figure it out."

The two finished their dinner silently, and after they removed the leftovers, Huo Yuan suddenly asked Su Wan, "Recently, those imperial physicians in the imperial hospital seem to have developed a wonderful medicine for treating bruises, and now it has begun to be used in the capital. Various guards have tried it, do you know what the name of the medicine is?"

The military establishment of the Dagan Dynasty implemented the "guard station" system, with one government setting up a station and several governments setting up guards.The guards set up commanders and commanded 600 soldiers.There are thousands of households under the guard, and there are hundreds of households under the thousand households.The prefectural and county guards are under the jurisdiction of the commanders and divisions of the commanders, and the commanders of the capitals are under the jurisdiction of the governors of the five central armies.

Of course, the pro-military guards directly under the emperor are not under the jurisdiction of the Dudufu of the Five Armies. Among the 26 pro-army guards, Jin Yiwei is the most important one among the pro-military guards, and all the pro-military guards only obey the emperor's orders.

Huo Yuan, as the governor of the left army and the right governor, the emperor wanted to try Baiyao in the capital guard, how could he not know about this?

Su Wan was terrified in her heart, but there was a trace of surprise on her face, she said with a smile: "I'm just a housewife, how do I know this kind of thing? Master Hou asked me what to do?"

Huo Yuan carefully observed Su Wan's expression, and asked, "You really don't know?"

"Master Hou thinks I should know?" Su Wan asked back with a smile.

Huo Yuan looked away, stroked the teacup in his hand, and said lightly: "I seem to remember, Wan'er, you once developed a medicine for bruises, which seems to be called Baiyao."

"I'm just playing with myself, I can't take it seriously." Su Wan said with downcast eyes, but she clenched her fists tightly under her sleeves. She thought she was not afraid of Huo Yuan anymore, but when things came to an end, she But she found that she was still afraid of him in her heart. She was as nervous as she was scared now.

"The medicine developed by the Tai Hospital is also called Baiyao. Wan'er, tell me, is this a coincidence?" Huo Yuan stared at Su Wan closely and asked.

When Su Wan heard this, her breath became flustered, and a few drops of sweat dripped from the tip of her nose, but she still tried her best to calmly say: "Could it be that Lord Hou thinks that the Baiyao developed by the Imperial Hospital is my dedication?"

Huo Yuan saw that Su Wan didn't speak, but stretched out his hand to touch Su Wan's face. Su Wan reflexively wanted to dodge, but she still forcibly held back, but her body tensed up.

Huo Yuan didn't seem to notice Su Wan's nervousness, his finger lingered on the tip of her nose for a while, and in Su Wan's astonishment, he asked, "You seem to be very nervous."

Su Wan looked at the sweat on his fingers, pursed her lips slightly, and said nothing.

"In addition to the same name of the medicine, there is also the doctor Li who treated your mother. Your brother's admission to Shoushan Academy is definitely not something you can do now. Should I think that the formula you used for Baiyao Did you make a deal with His Majesty?" Huo Yuan looked at Su Wan with eyes that seemed to know everything, which made her feel that there was nothing to hide, and her body became more and more stiff.

Seeing Su Wan's pale face, Huo Yuan smiled slightly, not knowing whether it was self-deprecating or what.
