As soon as these words came out, Songyuan fell into silence for an instant. Hua Qing, who was kneeling on the ground, turned pale and trembled slightly. He looked up at Fang Xu and hesitated, "Husband... Madam..."
Unfortunately, the latter ignored her.
Su Zi agreed, turned around and ran towards the outside of the courtyard.
Liu Fanyin looked at the farce in front of her. When her eyes touched Fang Xu's profile, Leng Xia's heart suddenly beat fast.
Su Zi moved very quickly, but after only two sticks of incense, he found an elder with white hair.
"Madam, this man is an old gentleman who has returned to the medical hall." Su Zi quickly returned to Fang Xu and whispered, "I have been practicing medicine for many years and I can trust him."
Fang Xu nodded, glanced at Hua Qing, who was already stiff with fear, and said, "Mr., please step forward and take a pulse on her to see if she is pregnant."
The old gentleman bowed, lifted up his robe, and walked slowly towards Hua Qing.
Hua Qing put his hands on the ground. When he saw the old man approaching, he unconsciously stepped back, with tears falling down his face. His voice was stern, "Master, please save me! I am yours, how can I let a foreign man touch my wrist?"
Hearing this, Xie Changqing pushed the boy a little harder and shouted, "Old bastard, if you dare to touch my wife, I will kill you!"
The old gentleman has been practicing medicine to save people for decades. This was the first time he heard such ridiculous remarks. He frowned and said, "Your Majesty, the common people just want to take this girl's pulse. Besides, the common people are over fifty years old, and this girl looks like she is only in her teens." , is about the same age as the little girl in the family, ordinary people will never have any dirty thoughts, so please be careful what you say."
Xie Changqing's expression was extremely ugly. Seeing that the woman he loved was being bullied, he spoke in a hurry and said, "Who knows if you may have some shameful thoughts in your heart? A humble commoner's heart..."
"Baiji, beat me to death!"
Fang Xu couldn't stand listening anymore, so he smashed the tea cup Su Zicai handed him on the ground, raised his finger and pointed at Xie Changqing, and shouted angrily, "Hit! Don't stop without my order!"
"Yes!" Bai Ji was very obedient. After receiving the order, he slapped Xie Changqing's face more than ten times, using ten stamina for each slap.
The pine garden was empty, and a loud slap echoed throughout the yard.
Hua Qing softened and trembled even more. She cried and begged, "Madam, there is a female doctor in Songyuan. The prince specially invited it for me. It would be better if Madam summoned the female doctor to preserve my reputation." .”
Fang Xu didn't speak for a long time, just looked at her quietly, until Hua Qing's back went cold when he looked at her, and then he softly said, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
As soon as these words came out, Hua Qing hurriedly lowered his head, his tears fell to the ground, and he spat out a soft voice, "I don't dare."
Seeing that she was no longer acting like a monster, Fang Xu smiled apologetically at the old man and whispered, "My eldest son is acting like this because I did not discipline him properly. I would like to apologize on my behalf. I also hope that the old man will be considerate. After he takes his pulse, I will pay him the reward." Double it to compensate.”
The old man shook his head and sighed, "Thank you, madam."
Fang Xu maintained his position and whispered, "Sir, please take your pulse."
After finishing speaking, Fang Xu glanced at Su Zi. The latter understood and walked to Hua Qing with the two women, holding him firmly under control.
The old gentleman didn't hesitate. He lowered his head and put a handkerchief on Hua Qing's wrist. He placed his fingertips on the pulse and examined it carefully.
After a while, the old man put away the veil and blessed Fang, "Madam, this girl does have a happy pulse and has been there for more than two months."
Fang Xu raised his eyebrows, surprise flashed in his eyes, and he glanced at Hua Qing not far away.
Hua Qing was sitting on the ground, with her arms twisted behind her by the two women. When Fang Xu looked over, she raised her lips slightly, and a flash of determination flashed in her eyes. In an instant, she changed into a pitiful look, and whispered, "So... …Can the madam trust my concubine?”
Fang Xu looked at her as if she was a villain, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised.
Interesting, really interesting.
"Su Zi, take the old gentleman back to the hospital." Fang Xu raised his hand and gave the order.
"Yes." Su Zi agreed, "Old sir, please come with me."
The old man glanced at Hua Qing and followed Su Zi out of the pine garden.
"Since Aunt Hua is really pregnant, why do you act like that and arouse suspicion?" Bai Ji couldn't see Hua Qing's appearance and asked, "You are so hypocritical, but you want to prevent Madam from stepping down?"
Fang Xu lowered his eyes casually, with an indifferent expression, letting Bai Ji act as his mouth.
Bai Ji has an out-of-the-box personality, but she also speaks sincerely to herself. There are some things she can't say due to her status, but that doesn't mean no one will say them for her.
Hua Qing gritted her teeth, secretly glared at Baiji, and cursed her as a talkative dog in her heart.
"I never meant this!" Hua Qing knelt down, "Don't blame me, madam, I just want to prove my innocence."
"That's enough!" Xie Changqing broke free from the restraints of the servant, strode to Hua Qing's side, helped up the delicate beauty, frowned and looked at Fang Xu, and asked, "If mother is really sensible, that's fine, but mother is extremely partial and single-minded. Only that Liu family, in this case, proving one’s innocence is just in vain!”
"Your Majesty!" Bai Ji stamped his feet anxiously when he saw that Xie Changqing still showed no repentance after being punished.
The prince is really obsessed with it! I can’t tell what is right and what is wrong!
"Baiji." Fang Xu interrupted her, raised his hand slightly, and whispered, "Why bother talking to that heartless person, you are asking for trouble."
"Madam!" Su Zi walked quickly to Fang Xu, covered her mouth with her hand, and whispered something.
When Su Zi's words reached his ears, Fang Xu raised his eyebrows, as if he was extremely surprised, "Is this true?"
"Of course." Su Zi nodded heavily, looking very sure, "I told the lady exactly what the man said."
Fang Xu raised his hand and rubbed her head, then praised her, "Well done, you will be rewarded when you go back."
Su Zi pursed her lips and smiled, retreating behind Fang Xu.
"Liu Fanyin."
When her name was suddenly called, Liu Fanyin was stunned for a moment, but then she immediately reacted, lowered her head and said, "Mother."
"Instruct the maid next to you to pack your things and move to Chengyuan starting from today."
Chengyuan?
Liu Fanyin raised his head suddenly, as if he didn't hear clearly.
Chengyuan... isn't it the courtyard where my mother lives?
Fang Xu had an expressionless face and a calm tone, sounding as if he was asking for her consent. However, the dignity revealed in his tone made Liu Fanyin stiffen.
She didn't even have the guts to look at him.
"It's... mother." Liu Fanyin lowered his head and spoke in a quiet voice.
Fang Xu turned around and only left one sentence, "Don't forget to bring the child with you."
From beginning to end, her tone and demeanor were so calm, and she never wrinkled her brows. She looked plain and easy-going, but no one could ignore her presence.
When passing by Hua Qing, Fang Xu lowered his eyes and glanced at her, with a hint of sarcasm rising in his eyes.
She wanted to see what kind of trouble this charming bitch could create.
