From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 116 Medicated Bath
Standing up and reaching out to take it, Mei Xin cupped her hands and saluted, "Thank you!"

"It's the duty of a doctor to heal the sick and save the sick. You don't need to say thank you. Take him and leave as soon as you're done soaking. There are so many soldiers guarding here. If you don't know, you might think that the old man has committed something." He stroked his beard habitually , the old doctor hummed twice in dissatisfaction and left.

Luo Qiu wanted to say what kind of attitude this was, but when she remembered Mei Xin's reprimand just now, she held back and didn't speak.He went directly to the bathtub to wash Mei Jingxing's hair, and while washing, he said to Sanniang who brought the clothes, "Yunying and the others are back from eating, you and Doukou and the others go eat first."

Sanniang nodded in agreement, turned her head to look at Mei Xin and asked, "Young General, it's fine if there is Luoqiu here, let's go over to have dinner together!"

Stomach discomfort and morning sickness, Mei Xin's appetite has been extremely poor for the past two days.Remembering that she only ate half a cold steamed bun in the morning, Sanniang couldn't help feeling a little worried.

With so many worries, Mei Xin really doesn't have much appetite, but she always wants to eat some for the sake of her children.Picking up the handkerchief to wipe Mei Jingxing's face and hands, she said lightly, "I had some snacks in the palace in the afternoon, and I'm not too hungry. You can pack it in a food box later. Jing Xing and Xiaodouzi also have a day I haven't eaten any more, I'll have a casual meal with them in the carriage later."

It is impossible not to return to Prince Liang's Mansion after entering the capital, and at this moment, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at her secretly.So, when she was going to go home and face Shangguan Xinrou, she had to cheer up.

Sanniang thought it would be okay to eat in the carriage, so she put the clothes in her hand on the stool beside her and said, "Okay, then I'll go, and I'll be back in a while."

"Well, let's go with Luo Qiu too. I'll wash his hair and let Yunying come in and help him change his clothes." Although Mei Jingxing didn't weigh much, Mei Xin was pregnant at the moment, and she was still not stable. It's a sign of miscarriage, so it's inconvenient to hug him all the time.Besides, he is already six years old, and he is still a little boy, it is better to ask Yunying to help him change his clothes.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, and Yunying came in.Hearing Mei Xin's words, she walked directly to the bathtub and said, "Yun Luo has already brought the rest of the people there, so hurry up and go too. With me here, there is no need for the major general to do anything."

While speaking, he took the handkerchief from Luoqiu's hand, and while helping Mei Jingxing to dry his hair, he said, "Major General, I have washed and bathed the children's hair when I went to Yiyingtang. I have experience, let me do it." .”

Mei Xin didn't do much of this kind of thing, so she couldn't wish for it.Of course, her main concern was that she was afraid of hurting Mei Jingxing.He had enough bruises on his body that he couldn't hurt anymore.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. After a while, change his clothes and carry him directly to the carriage." Putting down the wet handkerchief in her hand, Mei Xin stood up.Feeling dizzy and sick, she hurried out with Luo Qiu and the others.

After half a day in Youshi, it was completely dark, and the maids and servants in the Zongzhenghou's mansion began to light the lamps.At the gate, in the courtyard, under the corridor, and in the room, every lamp was lit, and the lights were as bright as day.

In the main courtyard, Zongzheng Mingzhen, who came home in the afternoon, knelt in the flower hall, wondering what happened to his mother today, invited his father's tablet, took out the whip, but miraculously did not whip him.

Instead of slapping him, his mother only said two words from the beginning to the end.One sentence is: "You ruined Mei Xin's innocence?"

Another sentence is: "Are you sure that the child in Mei Xin's womb is yours?"

Sure, but what's the use of just being sure, the Mei family daughter can't marry, let alone let people know that he did it.

Li Yuzhu tricked everything, so he couldn't lie anymore.Don't lie, don't hide, just tell the truth, but who would have thought that his mother would leave immediately after he finished speaking.

He didn't dare to get up even though the door was closed, so he knelt until it was dark and it was time to eat.

Kneeling with hunger and pain, Zongzheng Mingzhen turned his head and glanced at Butler Ji who was guarding him, and said, "Uncle Ji, what's the situation now? Which song is my mother singing, please give me some hints."

The old lady is straight-tempered, she never beat around the bush when she speaks or does things, and she is even more simple and rude to him.Therefore, this situation is very abnormal and strange, and it is not something she would do at all.When he came back to see her in the afternoon, he seemed to be a different person. His face was expressionless, and he couldn't tell whether it was joy or anger.

His heart was pounding, and he couldn't feel his pulse. Zongzheng Mingzhen was afraid of offending his old lady, so he didn't dare to get up if he didn't want to kneel.

Uncle Ji is the chief steward of the Zongzhenghou's mansion, and he grew up with the old Houye, and Zongzheng Mingzhen was also watched by him when he grew up.He couldn't bear to kneel for two hours, but he was also afraid of his wife.She shook her head lightly and said in a low voice like a thief: "After Madam found out about this, she looked serious and sat alone in the room all afternoon. Young Master, who do you say is not good for you to sleep with? Why do you want to sleep with Mei's daughter?"

It's enough just to sleep, the most important thing is to make someone pregnant.It's all right if she is pregnant, the problem is that she can't marry her yet, and this also involves the prince and king, and also involves the battle for the throne.Their Zongzhenghou's mansion has lost its male master, away from the court, and lives behind closed doors. If the emperor and the queen mother hadn't taken a fancy to the young lady, Zongzheng Mingzhen would not have entered the official position, relying on the shade of his ancestors to be an idle little girl Marquis.Therefore, Mrs. Zongzhenghou didn't have too many expectations for her son, as long as he spread the branches and leaves for Zongzheng's family.

Looking forward to the stars, looking forward to the moon, Pan's hair is almost turning white, and after finally looking forward to it, I still can't get married, think about it, don't you get angry.

In fact, it's fine if it's an ordinary person or the daughter of a high-ranking official in the capital, but it happens to be the daughter of the Mei family who is born proud.The daughter of the Mei family, the Mei family's army with heavy soldiers in their hands, didn't they eat the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard, it was like eating dragon meat.

Who is Mei Zhannan? He is a well-known murderer. If he dares to destroy his daughter's innocence, she is unmarried and pregnant.

His face was speechless, Zongzheng Mingzhen felt aggrieved, and said a little depressed: "What do you mean I can't sleep well, am I a person who sleeps casually?"

"So you saw her going to sleep on purpose?" Before Uncle Ji could understand, Bai Yulan, the wife of Marquis Zongzheng, opened the door and walked in.

Imposing and gloomy, Zongzheng Mingzhen shrank his neck to be a quail as soon as he saw her, and replied honestly: "No, I followed someone else's advice and originally went to Baihualou. I couldn't hold on halfway No, Yan Jingchen's entourage just randomly found someone. She has been in Liangzhou. I didn't know her at all before I went back to Liangzhou. How could it be on purpose? Later, I found out that she was a daughter of the Mei family. "
