Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 97 A Happy Event

In order not to arouse the shopkeeper's suspicion, Su Yu quickly calmed down after being shocked: "Shopkeeper, then... is there anything wrong with the medicine in this side room? Let others harm my aunt."

The shopkeeper nodded and said: "There is nothing wrong with the medicine, but the dosage is slightly wrong. How long has your aunt been taking it?"

How did Su Hui know?I was so anxious to turn back to look at Huo Mingzhu.

Huo Mingzhu stepped forward and said: "You are a sensible person, shopkeeper. There are inevitably some secrets in the big family. It's better not to know too much. My mother has always wanted to have a son, so... "

"Of course I understand this, I understand." The shopkeeper smiled.

"From what the shopkeeper said just now, is it possible that the doctor gave my mother the wrong amount of medicine? If the shopkeeper has a better prescription, you may as well tell me." Huo Mingzhu smiled, signaling Sulu to give another tablet silver.

Naturally, the shopkeeper didn't dare to neglect the benefits of the shopkeeper, so he quickly wrote a prescription on a piece of paper, saying: "In the future, you can use this prescription to prep the medicine. I changed one of the cold medicines and reduced the dosage a little bit. It must be good." of."

Huo Mingzhu took the prescription and looked at it for a long time before asking: "According to what the shopkeeper said, if you take the medicine according to this prescription, how sure are you of success?"

I don't know if it's the shopkeeper's nonsense or bravado, and he said quite firmly: "Half of the time there may be. It's not that no one has come to ask for a concubine. Six out of ten people who come to my place have their wish fulfilled."

Huo Mingzhu smiled: "Then I will trouble the shopkeeper to prescribe the medicine for my mother according to this prescription. If it works, I will definitely reward you heavily."

"Thank you, miss!" The shopkeeper went to grab the medicine, rewrapped it for Huo Mingzhu, and sent the two of them out in a good voice.

Huo Mingzhu turned her head, and with a smile on her stunning face, she said to the shopkeeper: "It's not a glorious thing at all. The shopkeeper doesn't have to send it away. But this matter is related to my mother's reputation, and I hope the shopkeeper won't talk about right and wrong. Leak too much, otherwise, your 'Ji Shi Tang' will be in constant trouble."

The shopkeeper saw Huo Mingzhu's face and demeanor, and already guessed that she was a lady from a rich family. This Shangjing City is the imperial city of Dayong, and if there are a lot of dignitaries and nobles, the emperor's relatives and relatives, no matter how stupid the shopkeeper is. Knowing how to measure it, he hurriedly said: "That's natural. Miss, don't worry, I still have the medical ethics of Keats. Miss, please go slowly." He didn't continue to send it out.

Huo Mingzhu and Sulu raised the curtain and went out together, Sulu's smile didn't hold back, she let out a "puchi" laugh, and said: "Miss, I see, the shopkeeper doesn't need to call this medicine shop Jishitang Now, wouldn't it be better to call a gynecologist? I thought it was a decent pharmacy, but it actually sells that kind of medicine..."

Speaking of this, Su Hui hurriedly covered her mouth, looked at Huo Mingzhu with a pair of eyes and said: "Miss, you said that Madam ordered someone to buy that kind of medicine... Is it really for the sake of seeking a child as the shopkeeper said? ?"

Huo Mingzhu's psychological endurance is so strong, she has risen several ranks compared to her previous life, and she was shocked for a while before accepting the fact that Lin Ruyi wanted a child from a partial house.The biggest reason why the old lady of the Huo family and Huo Zhengde were dissatisfied with Lin Ruyi was because Lin Ruyi did not give birth to a half son for the Huo family.

No matter how much they love Huo Huaiyu in their mouths, Huo Huaiyu is a woman after all, and cannot inherit the title of the general's mansion and the family background of the Huo family.

Therefore, seeing Su Wei's astonishment, Huo Mingzhu said: "It's not impossible, my mother also has the heart to open up branches and leaves for the Huo family."

Su Yu didn't know how much Huo Mingzhu hated Lin Ruyi and others, but thought that Huo Mingzhu just wanted to gain a firm foothold in the general's mansion, so she suggested: "Miss, how about sending this medicine to the general's house?" Ma'am, telling her that the medicine has been improved to make it easier to have a child, wouldn't it make Madam love Miss a little more?"

"Hehe, how much more do you love?" Huo Mingzhu laughed, turned to look at the puzzled Sulu, and said with a smile: "Sulu, if it were you, you would have no heirs for more than ten years, and you would be bumped into by someone one day. Seek folk remedies to get a child, what will you do?"

"I... I am naturally angry and want to seal her mouth..." Su Yu's voice was weak, and then she covered her mouth and said: "Miss means... If Miss tells Madam about this, not only will she not Gaining Madam's favor, will incur resentment instead?"

"You girl is not stupid after all." Huo Mingzhu sighed helplessly.

When the two of them got into the carriage, and the carriage slowly headed towards the general's mansion, Su Yu said anxiously: "Then...Miss, what should we do? You don't want Madam to know that we know this secret, why do you want to let the doctor What a waste of time to grab this medicine and take away the prescription as well?"

Huo Mingzhu shook her head: "I don't know, maybe find a suitable opportunity to tell my mother that it will save her from embarrassment and won't get angry? Anyway, I also hope that our General's Mansion can have a baby as soon as possible."

"It's true." Su Yu believed in Huo Mingzhu's words, and asked again, "Then let's go back, should we continue to stare at that girl Qing'er?"

Huo Mingzhu smiled: "She's there, she can't run away anyway, let's find the place where she hides things when we have time, maybe she is still behind her mother's back, playing some shady business."

Huo Mingzhu was too calm, Su Hui looked at her, she couldn't recognize that this was the hot tempered and straightforward young lady of her family, but being tactful is not a bad thing, on the contrary, it can protect herself, so Su Hui accepted her with pleasure. Miss Jia's change: "Okay, listen to Miss."

The carriage drove forward slowly, Huo Mingzhu stared at the medicine bag on the side, and smiled softly.She thought that Lin Ruyi was invulnerable to all kinds of poisons, but it turned out that she was just a mortal. Lin Ruyi also knew that not having a son would be a big threat to her, so she went to great lengths to find a son.

She, Huo Mingzhu, didn't even have to arrest Qing'er to confront her, she also knew that the girl Qing'er was hiding Lin Ruyi's secrets, who would dare to pursue Lin Ruyi's matters in the mansion?Therefore, no matter what Qing'er went to hide under the hibiscus flower, no one asked.

But she, Huo Mingzhu, happened to catch Lin Ruyi's handle, and the subsequent gameplay was much smoother.Speaking of which, she seemed to be thinking about the man in black who broke into the general's mansion privately. If it wasn't for his guidance, she would never have been more careful to find out about Lin Ruyi's girl.The two times I met this man in black, he never hit her hard, but he always hid himself and seized the opportunity to escape. He really deserved to be a gentleman on Liang.

Coming out of Pingyang Hou's Mansion, Huo Mingzhu's heart formed a big lump. Inside the lump was her grandmother, uncle, and Yunxi. What kind of attitude to treat her?

In her previous life, she took the General's Mansion as her home, which resulted in her death in vain, and the Pingyang Hou Mansion also suffered. But even if she did not exist, this disaster would have happened sooner or later. Success and defeat have always been like this, and it has nothing to do with her.

In this life, it would be inappropriate for her to devote herself wholeheartedly to the Pingyang Marquis Mansion with her narrow self-defense at the beginning. She should be able to see her own status just from her grandmother's child-friendly advice.

Instead of being a pawn of the General's Mansion, she will be a pawn of the Pingyang Hou Mansion, with her mother's family on one side and her father's family on the other. She will never trust any of them. The only thing she believes in is herself.

When it was getting dark, Huo Mingzhu returned to the general's mansion, and someone came to invite her to dinner: "Miss, Madam said that if you come back, you can go to the front hall, the old lady and the general are waiting for you. "

"Oh?" A thought flashed through Huo Mingzhu's mind, but she didn't grasp it. Lin Ruyi would not be so attentive to her on weekdays, let alone if she went to Pingyang Hou's mansion, would she come back for dinner in time? Not sure, why hold Mrs. Huo and Huo Zhengde and wait for her?
Huo Mingzhu ordered Sulu to send the things back to Chenxiangyuan, she tidied up her clothes and went to the front hall.

Before entering, Huo Mingzhu heard Mrs. Huo's laughter inside. Her grandmother is usually the meanest. If there was no happy event, she would never laugh so heartily. Huo Mingzhu also heard that laughter mixed with It can be seen that Huo Huaiyu's voice was not caused by Yu Tong, an outsider.But Mrs. Huo and Lin Ruyi had a quarrel before Fangcai, what could make them settle their suspicions?

Huo Mingzhu had a bad premonition, when the girl opened the curtain, Huo Mingzhu walked in, the laughter stopped, Huo Huaiyu, who was not happy yesterday, got up from the chair, bounced to Huo Mingzhu's room Beside her, holding her arm, said with a smile: "Sister, why did you come back? We can't wait to tell you a happy event!"

Everyone present looked at Huo Mingzhu, and the smiles on their faces did not diminish.Huo Mingzhu was full of doubts, stepped forward to salute to grandmother, Huo Zhengde and Lin Ruyi, and looked at Yu Tong who was sitting beside Mrs. Huo.

Yu Tong was still lying on the bed during the day, and now his complexion has improved a lot. Seeing Huo Mingzhu looking at her, Yu Tong also smiled at her, but among all the people present, only Yu Tong's smile was a bit forced, not Sincerely.

Seeing this, Huo Mingzhu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the happy event that Huo Huaiyu wanted to talk about had nothing to do with her, Huo Mingzhu, and most of it was about their family.Otherwise, according to Yu Tong's "friendship" with her, Yu Tong should be happier even if it's acting.

Therefore, Huo Mingzhu, who was relieved, raised her smiling face and asked curiously, "What's the matter?"
