Chapter 238 No more giving in

Mrs. Ye has been accustomed to pampering herself over the years. How can she bear it when she suddenly takes over the chores of the house and takes care of the patients at the same time, and the patients boss her around in everything? At the end of the day, people feel like they are falling apart.

Lu Ziqin saw that Mrs. Ye was exhausted and felt like a lump in her throat. He raised his hand to hold Mrs. Ye's hand and helped her move forward.

Back in Lingyuan, Aunt Yao hurriedly asked someone to bring the food up and said: "Madam, you have some porridge first. The old slave has already asked someone to prepare hot soup. When Madam eats something, she can soak herself in the hot soup." , go and get tired.”

Mrs. Ye just wanted to sit paralyzed and didn't want to move at all. Seeing Lu Ziqin nearby, and fearing that his son would be worried, he had to sit down at the table, barely ate half a bowl of porridge, and went to take a bath with Fu Rong's support.

Lu Ziqin watched Mrs. Ye disappear at the door, turned to look at Aunt Yao, and asked, "Is the old lady giving trouble to my mother?"

Mama Yao sighed and said, "It's okay to say that it's not difficult. When the old lady drinks tea and pours water, she has to do it herself, and she doesn't let anyone else do it.

Let’s just say it’s difficult. When the elderly are sick, the younger generation has to take care of them like this. Madam entered Rongan Hall today and could not rest for a moment.

Even when the old lady closed her eyes and rested, she had to stay by the side. In addition, the second wife is not in the house, and the housekeepers of various houses in the house have to go back and forth to get the money for a needle.

At the end of the day, Madam is really exhausted. "

Lu Ziqin has been tortured by Yang's various methods since childhood, and he is naturally aware of Yang's insidiousness and viciousness.

 He thought that if he made his attitude clear to the British Duke in advance, Mrs. Yang would restrain herself.

Lu Ziqin frowned and asked, "Where are you? Can't you help mother?"

Mama Yao replied: "A few slaves were sent outside the corridor by Grandma Wang, saying that the old lady wanted to rest.

The servants from each court went in to answer the questions, and they came back and forth countless times.

 Why should we rest? It's obviously aimed at Madam,

The slaves wanted to help but couldn't help, so they could only work in a hurry on the corridor. "

Lu Ziqin clenched his teeth. People with good tempers always suffer from anger. It seems that he is still too kind, which makes some people misunderstand him and regard others' tolerance as an opportunity for him to show off his power.

 For the sake of his mother, he could no longer give in.

Lu Ziqin said: "I understand, wait until mother comes out of the bath, serve her and then eat something. There is no need to go to Rong'an Hall to serve her tomorrow morning, let her have a good rest."

Mama Yao asked worriedly: "Sixth Master, would this be bad?"

Lu Ziqin said: "Do as I say, and I will do the rest."

 Mama Yao owes you.

Lu Ziqin came out of Linglong Garden and went to Wenyuan Pavilion.

Over at Rong'an Hall, Mrs. Yang was beaming with flattery from several young girls, "Ye Shan is a little too young to fight with me. It's only been a day, I promise, within five days, I will tell her to lie down." , Let her know how powerful I am."

"There's no need for five days. When I saw the lady leaving just now, my legs were stiff and I won't be able to make a bed tomorrow." A woman said.

Mrs. Yang snorted coldly and said, "If she dares not come to serve you tomorrow, her reputation will be ruined."

Grandma Wang worriedly advised: "The Duke of Guo has told me that there should be no more trouble. We are almost done. Don't make the matter bigger, otherwise, the Duke of Guo will be blamed..."

Mrs. Yang was in high spirits when she was thrown cold water by Grandma Wang. She suddenly felt unhappy and interrupted Grandma Wang's words, "Are you the person in front of me or the person in front of others? Can't you make me happy for a while? Today? You are all watching, have you spoken loudly to Mrs. Ye today?"

 Everyone shook their heads.

Yang then asked: "Have you ever scolded her, hit her, or punished her when I saw her? You haven't seen me."

 Everyone shook their heads again. Grandma Wang bowed and apologized: "I was wrong."

In Wenyuan Pavilion, the British Duke looked at Lu Ziqin who came in with a sullen face and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Lu Ziqin said: "I came over to tell the Duke that starting tomorrow, my mother will not go to Rong'an Hall to serve."

 After saying that, Lu Ziqin turned around and walked out.

Lu Ziqin mentioned Rongantang, and the British public knew that the Yang family was causing trouble again.

The British Duke wanted to give Lu Ziqin a few words of comfort, but before he could say anything, he saw Lu Ziqin walking out and said hurriedly: "Stop."

Lu Ziqin stopped and asked, "What else does the Duke have to do?"

 The British Duke asked: "Please tell me clearly, okay, why doesn't Mr. Ye go to Rong'an Hall?"

Lu Ziqin turned to look at the British Duke and said calmly: "Why? Shouldn't the British Duke know it well?"

 After speaking, Lu Ziqin said no more and stepped out of the threshold.

The British Duke looked at Lu Ziqin who hurried away without giving him any face, "The prince said that he knows etiquette best, is this his etiquette?"

Du Bin stood by the side with his hands down and did not answer. Master Liu came over angrily. It could only be that something had happened in Rong'an Hall again.

 The British Duke turned to look at Du Bin and said, "Didn't I ask you to explain to them well? Go and find out what's going on?"

Du Bin leaned over and said, "Young man, let's go right now."

As soon as Du Bin reached the door, the British Duke stopped him and said, "Forget it, you don't have to go. I'll go in person and ask people to follow and call more people."

 After saying this, the British Duke stepped out and walked out.

Du Bin was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the Duke of Guo was going to punish Rong'an Hall with his own hands. Thinking of this, Du Bin felt a bit of anticipation in his heart, and hurriedly asked people to follow him, and the group of people headed towards Rong'an Hall in a hurry.

The British Duke went to Rongan Hall, and the concierge saw him. He wanted to enter the house to report, but the British Duke stopped him.

The British father led Du Bin and others along the corridor to the main hall. He was still at the door, listening to Yang's cheerful voice, "It's been a long time since I felt so relieved. I'm so happy today. I want to fight with me, she Very tender.”

 “Ginger is still old and spicy, and the eldest lady is delicate and soft. How can she be the opponent of the old lady!”

“It’s really shameful that the eldest lady is away from home all year round. The old lady should have treated her long ago.”

 The people were talking happily in the room, and they didn’t notice the gloomy face outside the room at all.

The British Duke stepped into the house, and the maid facing the door noticed him first, and shouted tremblingly: "Your Majesty!"

  Everyone looked towards the door one after another. When they saw the British Duke, their faces turned pale with fright.

 The British Duke asked: "Du Bin, did you seek advice from the people in Rong'an Hall today?"

Du Bin leaned forward and said: "Returning to the country, my lord, according to the prince's instructions, I have all told you what I need to explain."

English justice: "Those in the house should pull out twenty large sticks and those who are still alive should be sent to Zhuangzi."

The maids and women in the room knelt down and begged for mercy. Yingying turned to look at Du Bin. Du Bin turned around and ordered: "Pull out."

Mrs. Yang glared at the British father and said angrily: "Stop. You actually stretched your hand into my yard. Did you stretch your hand too long?"

The servant paused and turned to look at the British Duke.

The British Duke sternly said: "If you drag them down and cry and plead for mercy, you will be beaten to death with sticks."

The maid and mother-in-law were so frightened that they dared not speak out, let alone plead for mercy.

Mrs. Yang was so angry that she was trembling all over. She pointed her finger at the British father, but her mind went blank and she couldn't say a word.

The maid and the woman were taken down, and Du Bin wisely stepped back and closed the door behind him.

Mrs. Yang came over slowly, glared at the British father and asked, "How dare you? Aren't you afraid that I will expose that matter?"

The British father stood in front of Mrs. Yang's bed, looked at Mrs. Yang condescendingly, and said: "You'd better think clearly before speaking.

If you reveal that matter, not only will I die, but your sons, grandsons, and the entire Yang family will not be able to escape. If you want to see your children and grandchildren die, just go ahead and say it, and the boss will not stop you. "

"you…"

The British Duke then said: "I came here to tell you that starting tomorrow, Mr. Ye will not come to serve you again. You can take care of yourself. If you don't know what to do, I might as well send you to Zhuangzi to rest."

Mrs. Yang stared at Mr. Ying in horror. She knew in her heart that Mr. Ying was not just talking. If she made trouble, he would really send her to the village.

The British Duke glanced at Mrs. Yang, turned around and walked out the door.

Old Madam Yang shouted: "Leave Grandma Wang and Xue'er to me."

The British Duke paused, opened the door and went out. He said to Du Bin who was waiting outside the door: "Leave Grandma Wang and Xue'er to her."

Du Bin nodded and turned around to do the instructions.

 After leaving Rong'an Hall, the British Duke said: "Go to Shuying Garden."

Lu Ziqin was taking a bath when Ruxuan announced at the door: "Sir, the Duke of the country is here."

 Lv Ziqin responded: "I understand."

Lu Ziqin took off the handkerchief and wiped the water off his body, put on his clothes, and walked out of the bathroom to the living room.

Seeing the British Duke bowing his hands in greeting, he straightened up and asked coldly: "Master, what do you want when you come here at this time?"

The British Duke did not mince words and said bluntly: "From tomorrow on, Mrs. Ye does not need to go to Rongan Hall to serve or even greet you. The premise is that you need to live in the mansion."

“Does the Duke want to put me and my mother under house arrest like Ziran?”

The British Duke said: "What are you talking about? Did I say you are under house arrest? I said you need to live in the house.

Your mother is the eldest daughter-in-law of a British duke. You are a descendant of a British duke. Shouldn't you live in the house? "

Lu Ziqin asked: "You can come and go freely."

The British Duke turned around and walked out, saying as he walked: "Okay."

Talking to this brat, his blood kept rising. If he left quickly, he was afraid he would die from anger here.

After the British father left, Lu Ziqin said to Ruxuan: "Send a letter to mother. You don't have to go to Rong'an Hall to serve you anymore. Let mother have a good rest."

 Ruxuan bowed his body and responded.

Lu Ziqin turned around and went to the study, sat down and thought for a long time. He was ready for a long battle with the British Duke and Mrs. Yang, but he didn't expect that the British Duke would simply agree to his request. The British Duke's talkative appearance made him feel as if he was in a dream.

Ruxuan knocked on the door and came in, and asked excitedly: "Sir, the Duke of Guo just came from Rongan Hall. I heard that many maids and women in Rongan Hall were beaten twenty times and sent to Zhuangzi. "

Lu Ziqin nodded, "I understand, is there anything else?"

Ruxuan continued: "Those who were watching the uncle were withdrawn by the Duke of the country, and the uncle can come and go freely. The monthly salary was reduced from fifty taels of silver to five taels of silver."

"Master, the young one is back." A voice like a rivet sounded outside the door.

"Come in."

 Ru Yan pushed the door open and came in. Lu Ziqin asked: "What did you find out?"

 Ru Yan leaned back and said: "These days, the emperor has been to Huaqing Palace, Weiyang Palace, and Jingyang Palace, but he has not gone to Yongning Palace, the palace of the empress.

The empress went to the emperor several times, but was rejected by the emperor. The prince also went to the palace to ask to see the emperor, but he also refused. "

Lu Ziqin nodded thoughtfully, "That's right, the Duke of the country will not ask me to come back for no reason."

Ruxuan asked: "Sir, what should we do next? Will you help the prince?"

Lu Ziqin said calmly: "I am busy writing books now and have no time to care about anything else. How was the banquet at Shi Mansion today? Did it go well?"

 Ru Jin told what happened in Shi Mansion.

Ruxuan said: "Obviously, Miss Wang San is deliberately disgusting! This person is really annoying."

Lu Ziqin said: "It's getting late, let's all go and have a rest."

Not long after Gu Huayu returned to Wutong Lane, she received a letter from Ru Yan saying that Lu Ziqin would not be coming today.

Gu Huayu was thinking about Atong, so she sent Lonicera to rest, then turned around and entered the space.

A Tong has been waiting for a while and was about to leave a message when Gu Huayu came.

Seeing that her face was much better, Gu Huayu asked, "A-Tong, how are you? Are you okay?"

Atong nodded, "My father-in-law and mother-in-law agreed that I should go home. My father-in-law went to the palace to beg the emperor. I was afraid that you would be worried, so I came in to tell you."

"Okay, I'm waiting for your good news. For your father and mother, you have to cheer up. In addition to the love between children, there are many meaningful things to do in your life. Your medical skills are superb, and you can help the sick. Help the weak and live a different life.”

Atong said: "My father and mother-in-law complained that I didn't tell them earlier. My mother-in-law said that compared with glory and wealth, they wanted me to be safe and happy."

“A Tong, I’m happy for you. You have a pair of good parents. You should cherish them.”

“I know how to do it, Yanran. This book on acupuncture and acupuncture is passed down from my family’s ancestors. Take it, read it, copy it down, and return it to me after you finish copying it.”

Gu Huayu thanked her profusely.

 “Then I’ll go back first.”

After Atong left, Gu Huayu came out with the book and started copying it.

 Gu Huayu didn’t go to bed until Chou was able to copy. She got up at nine o’clock the next day and asked Lonicera to bring the food over and not let anyone disturb her. Then she resumed copying.

Lu Ziqin was busy socializing, and Gu Huayu was busy copying books for several days.

After Gu Huayu finished copying, she returned the book to Atong and began to study it according to the records in the book. She had a solid medical foundation and her strong understanding. In just over ten days, she completed the book. I am very familiar with the acupuncture techniques recorded above.

 Gu Huayu came out of the house. Rendong saw her going out and asked, "Miss, are you going out?"

Gu Huayu nodded, "I want to go to Huayu Pavilion. You ask Qingyu to prepare the car. I'll go and pay my respects to my grandmother first."

“Miss, the old lady, my uncle and my wife went to the village, don’t you remember?” Liao Dong said.

Gu Huayu couldn't remember anything at all, "How long did it take?"

 Landong replied: "It's almost half a month since I came back from Shi Mansion."
