The Forensic Doctor's Daughter-in-law

Chapter 157 The two families compete for marriage and discuss the marriage (1)
After she finished speaking, she felt that Old Ancestor Cui had a sad expression on his face, but in the end he didn't say much, but kept the old nun that the old concubine gave to Dou Zihan, and let Dou Zihan go back to his room to rest.

After the rest of the Cui family learned that Dou Zihan had received another dowry from Princess Pingxi, their expressions were different, but compared to the dowry, Mrs. Cui, mother and daughter, and Mrs. Cui were all relaxed It means that Dou Zihan has no chance to marry into Pingxi Palace.

That's what they worry about.As for the dowry from the old concubine, Mrs. Cui Er was full of envy, while Miss Cui Si said nothing on the face, but felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

Dou Zihan didn't rest all night last night. After going back to her room to freshen up, she planned to go to bed and have a good sleep, but she lay down on the bed and couldn't fall asleep.

Although she has a simple understanding of the life of the old princess Pingxi, it is only limited to a simple understanding, and she knows very little about everything in the Pingxi palace, so she has no way of determining what caused the old princess.In addition to her status, she is only a distant relative, so she can't say anything about the old concubine's affairs. Forget it, let's get a good night's sleep first. Since she has no way to intervene, she can only wait for the results from Prince Pingxi.

After Dou Zihan fell asleep, he slept until dinner time, and ate some food sleepily.Then she went to Patriarch Cui's room. After thinking about it, she still wanted to tell Patriarch Cui about the illness of the old concubine.

"Girl, what are you talking about? You said my sister was poisoned. Since it was poisoned, why couldn't the imperial physician find it out?" Cui ancestor was really surprised and angry when he heard the words.

"If you go back to your grandmother, you know that Zihan knows some medical skills. This is a case I saw in a book in the early years, but the poison is very secretive at first, and it will not be discovered at all. It will only slow down the body. Slowness is weakness. It’s just difficult to find out.” In ancient times, medicine was underdeveloped, and tasks that required modern scientific instruments were simply impossible in this era.

"Since the prince has been told about this matter, don't worry about it anymore, and don't tell anyone else." Ancestor Cui's face changed after another, and finally he sighed.On this point, her attitude is somewhat similar to Prince Pingxi's.

Since Patriarch Cui didn't let her intervene anymore, she didn't insist anymore.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, he walked in with a package with a smile on his face.

"Cousin girl, what you asked for is ready."

After Dou Zihan opened it, he inspected it carefully. Although the ancient forging technology was far inferior to the modern one, the scalpel and other things made by it were still eye-catching.

Although Hanxiao was sent to handle this matter, the advantage of this girl is that although she loves to gossip on weekdays, she seldom talks about things she shouldn't ask.

At this moment, Ah Rong walked in from the door excitedly.

His face was full of joy.

"Miss, this servant just passed by the courtyard of the old ancestor. I heard from the little girl over there that two ladies came to the mansion today. I heard that they are here to propose marriage for you, Miss."

"Propose marriage?"

"That's right! I heard it's from the Pei family!" As a personal maid, A Rong naturally paid the most attention to her master's marriage.Now that my young lady is so popular, I am naturally extremely happy.

The Pei family?Dou Zihan suddenly remembered what happened on the night of Qixi Festival. Could it be that it was Young Master Pei Nineteen who proposed marriage?

"Cousin girl, the ancestor asked the servant to invite you to her room!" The master and servant were talking here, and Ru'er, the maid next to the ancestor Cui, had already entered her room with a little maid.

"Okay, Sister Ru'er, wait a moment." Dou Zihan had a good feeling for that Young Master Pei Nineteen, so he felt that it would be no harm to meet him at the moment, so he asked the servant girl to help him with simple dressing up.

"Sister Ru'er, I heard that the matchmaker from the Pei family is here?" After finishing dressing up, Dou Zihan casually confirmed.

"Cousin girl, not only from the Pei family, but also from the Li family. Today, two matchmakers are proposing marriage for the two families." Ru'er said with a smile on the side.

"The Li family?" Dou Zihan asked instinctively, he couldn't help but pause when he went out, and the face of Mr. Li's third son unconsciously appeared in his mind.

"Yes, the British government has also come to propose marriage to you, Cousin, for the third son Li!"

When Dou Zihan heard the words "San Gongzi Li", her heart couldn't help but move a bit. After thinking about it carefully, since she came to the capital, the man she had been involved with, San Gongzi Li, had left an impression on her. The deepest!
However, after all, he did not meet the conditions for her to choose a husband, or this person's personality was never the type she originally wanted.

As soon as Dou Zihan walked to the door of ancestor Cui's room, two loud female voices came from inside. Not only that, judging from the few words heard, the two seemed to be attacking and arguing with each other!
Dou Zihan heard it right, the two quarreling here are none other than the two wives who came to propose marriage today. Although these two wives are not low-born, and their husband's family is also a family of officials, these two people are very eloquent. A lot of marriages were done for the ladies of the family, and after a long time, although these two wives did not have the name of matchmakers, they actually became matchmakers.

It would be fine if it was someone else who came to propose marriage today, but these two wives have become rivals because of being matchmakers, and this one is reunited at Cui's house for Dou Zihan's marriage.

From the moment they entered the door, the two began to fight openly and secretly with each other.

Mrs. Lan came to propose marriage on behalf of the Pei family. Although Mrs. Huang, who also came to propose marriage for the Li family, also came to propose marriage from the Li family, who also belonged to a family with seven surnames. How could the Third Young Master, that infamous Demon King of the World, be compared with someone like Young Master Pei Nineteen?Anyone with long eyes should choose Mr. Pei Shijiu. It is impossible for the Cui family to disagree with this marriage.

What's more, Miss Dou is only the granddaughter of the Cui family, not a girl from the Cui family, but she came from those small places, and her mother who was the head of the family even made such disgraceful things, from the bottom of her heart She didn't think Miss Dou was good enough for Young Master Pei Shijiu, and she didn't know what kind of evil Mr. Pei Jiu had fallen into to marry such a girl.

Besides, Young Master Pei Nineteen, ever since meeting Dou Zihan at the Qixi Temple meeting that night, he has always been unforgettable in his heart. Later, he sent someone to inquire about Dou Zihan's identity and background, and it was not difficult to find out.

Although Young Master Pei Nineteen is the second son of the eighth house of the Pei family, his parents both died of illness a few years ago. Now, the mistress of the Pei family is his cousin, Mrs. Dingguo.

Mrs. Dingguo was originally from a low family background, and she didn't value a woman's background and family background. Naturally, she would not interfere too much in his marriage. Therefore, on the surface, there was no major resistance from the Pei family to this marriage.
