Zhen Shilian was speechless. His words were good, but he had to squeeze in a few harsh and unpleasant words, which changed the flavor of his words.
Shilang Zhen was considerate of his mother's long-term illness and irritable mood, and replied warmly: "Qing Yin went to Qingyue Temple in Lishan yesterday to burn incense and pray for you, and donated one thousand taels of sesame oil money. When he came back, he was bumpy in the carriage and sprained Neck."
The old lady felt bad, no matter how much she donated, it was appropriate. Without her, where would Zhen Qingyin be?
Why did her youngest son's voice sound like Zhen Qingyin was kind to her?
She didn't collect debt from these debt collectors, so they should be laughing!
"Isn't it because you didn't want to avoid me and didn't want to come to take care of me that you deliberately lied about having a twisted neck?"
When Aunt Rong was washing her up early in the morning, she made her jealous and "reasonably" suspected that Zhen Qingyin was pretending to be ill.
Zhen Shilian rubbed his forehead: "Qing Yin has always been filial, how could he deceive everyone with such a thing. If mother doesn't believe it, just ask a doctor to take a look."
The old lady was very angry when she heard Nanny Rong report about Du Ruo. Zhen Qingyin, the maid she had kicked out, brought her back under a different name. Didn't she mean to slap her in the face?
She knew that this girl had a lot of thoughts, was rebellious, and was just used to putting on an act.
It's a shame that she couldn't leave home because of her illness, otherwise she would have to go to Chaoyu Pavilion in person and expose her ruse on the spot.
"Then I'll ask a doctor to take a look. I'll ask Doctor Deng who often diagnoses my pulse."
Zhen Shilian felt tired.
Does this house still look like a home?
What about trust between people?
He ignored Nanny Rong and ordered the maid with a smile: "Pomegranate, go and ask for Doctor Deng. The old lady is ill and can't afford it. She cares about the eldest daughter. She asked Doctor Deng to take a closer look at the eldest daughter and told the eldest daughter to take medicine to heal her injuries." "
"Yes." Seeing that the old lady had a sullen face and said nothing, Shiliu squatted down and hurried out.
Zhen Shilian thought for a while, Qing Yin couldn't always be wronged, and when his concentration reached its peak, Mrs. Chao Guogong was going to get angry again.
The old lady, Mrs. Chao Guogong, and the little Yin family, being sandwiched between these women is more tiring than scheming with the emperor and ministers in the court.
He motioned for Nanny Rong to go out.
Nanny Rong never dared to stir up trouble in front of the second master. The second master's sharp eyes were too scary.
At one time, the most trusted person around the old lady was Aunt Liang. The little Yin family offended Aunt Liang. Aunt Liang instigated the old lady to deal with the little Yin family. Later, the second master found out that her son was using the power of the Zhen family to buy land. , Aunt Liang and her family were sent directly to prison. To this day, I don’t know which mine they are working in, let alone whether they are still alive.
After Aunt Rong took the position, she walked around the second room, at most showing off her authority with the wife of the eldest room.
Zhen Shilian lowered his voice and said, "Mother, do you still remember what happened at the prince's birthday party last year?"
Of course the old lady remembered it, her eyelids twitched: "Why are you bringing up old things again?"
Zhen Shilian said word by word: "The prince may have a crush on our Qing Yin!"
Chou, I didn’t see any adultery between them yesterday, they were just like strangers.
What's even more worrying is that the wife said that his niece is a bit disillusioned with the world of mortals.
Alas, even the prince doesn't like her. I'm afraid no man in this world can keep her mortal heart.
The old lady was startled: "How is it possible? His Highness the Crown Prince's taste cannot be so bad! Apart from Qing Yin's face, there is nothing worthy of His Highness the Crown Prince's fancy."
Zhen Shilian: "..."
You don't want to bury your granddaughter like this.
"Qing Yin is quite interesting. You will know if you know more about her. Well, maybe the prince just likes her face?"
"She has inherited the beauty of our old Zhen family, and she only has this advantage. But if the prince doesn't have any stunning beauty, how can he fall in love with her?" The old lady was not happy at all, she was so anxious that she coughed repeatedly, and she was not favored. , only Ruo Jing.
She didn't want Zhen Qingyin to enter the East Palace. She couldn't get the crown princess, but she could get a concubine position and become the empress of the palace in the future. She, the old grandmother, had to bow to her when she saw her.
How does this work?
Moreover, Zhen Qingyin's hatred for Qingyun would not only not help Qingyun in official circles, but might also encourage the prince to hinder Qingyun's future.
Thinking of this, the old lady coughed even harder.
"The beauty next to you has not been snatched away by the prince." Zhen Shilian followed the old lady's back.
"By the way, she often went to Duke Chao's mansion and met the prince many times. Did she secretly use some charming means to seduce the prince? Our daughter of the Zhen family will never do such a thing that brings shame to our ancestors!" I said. The man patted the bed and said, "Go and call her here. I want to interrogate her myself!"
Zhen Shilian frowned.
He expected that his mother would not be too happy, but her reaction was too extreme.
After thinking about it for a moment, he knew the reason and couldn't help but secretly hate it.
Zhen Qingyun is capable of disturbing the family even after leaving home.
"Don't be impatient, mother. Qing Yin is not at fault in the slightest. The matter has not yet been concluded. Mother's high-profile interrogation has made everyone aware of it. What's more, if word spreads, we are harshly criticizing the person the prince likes, isn't it saying Are we dissatisfied with the East Palace? I’m afraid my son won’t be able to wear this hat for a long time.”
Sure enough, the old lady calmed down instantly, her back felt cold, her heart felt restless, and she felt panicked.
Zhen Shilian continued: "If Qing Yinruo enters the East Palace, he will be able to enjoy the breeze. Not to mention how much help he will give me, at least what is mine will not be taken away by others."
The old lady looked at him and suddenly realized that she had been worrying about her grandson's career, but she had forgotten that her younger son also needed help.
After the old man passed away, the younger son was alone in the court, struggling to support the family. Not only could his elder brother and nephew not be able to help, but they were actually holding him back. He would be tired too, right?
She leaned back weakly and waved her hands: "Let you go."
Zhen Shilian smiled and said, "I knew my mother was a sensible person."
From now on, you should be more restrained towards Zhen Qingyin.
As for whether she can enter the East Palace, let's talk about it.
At this time, Pomegranate led Dr. Deng to ask for a meeting.
Zhen Shilian personally welcomed the people in.
First, Dr. Deng checked the old lady's pulse and asked if her condition was getting better. When she heard the news of the improvement, she smiled with gratitude on her face, and then asked about Zhen Qingyin's neck.
Doctor Deng said: "I am not specialized in treating bruises. However, it seems that the plaster used is good and the bone is straightened. If I take care of it for more than half a month and don't hurt it again, it should be fine."
It shows that Zhen Qingyin is really injured.
The old lady was speechless.
Zhen Shilian thanked him and personally escorted Dr. Deng out of the palace. He did not return to Fulong Hall and went directly to court.
Zhen Qingyin finally had a chance to sleep in, but was woken up by Dr. Deng again.
Du Ruo and Nan Xing both had angry looks in their eyes.
Doctor Deng has been diagnosing the old lady's pulse all year round and can be regarded as one of the old lady's confidants. He came to Chaoyu Pavilion unexpectedly. Didn't the old lady suspect Zhen Qingyin of pretending to be ill?
How could there be such a grandmother in the world?
Zhen Qingyin stopped being angry after getting up. She checked her injuries with Dr. Deng, washed and had breakfast, and asked Nan Xing to read her two travel notes. The servants then sent a message: "My concubine is here."
As soon as Yin Ruzhu entered the door, she hugged Zhen Qingyin and asked distressedly: "Why did you twist your neck?"
Zhen Qingyin couldn't move her neck and sat still. She just smiled and said: "I'm tired, my aunt came to see me." She told how she sprained her neck, "...the doctor said it can be cured after half a month, and it's not a serious problem."
Nan Xing served tea and Du Ruo served snacks. Zhen Qingyin motioned for them to go out and then solemnly asked: "Auntie, can you help me break someone's leg?"
