Qin Zhixu told all the news he knew in a crackling voice.
On that day, Qin Zongheng's marriage was disturbed. Uncle Qin went to the Yue family to apologize, but the head of the Yue family died under mysterious circumstances. After the death of Patriarch Yue, Yue Mingzhu blamed herself for all the faults. She fell seriously ill and was bedridden all day long.
The Queen Mother's rewards flowed into Yue Mingzhu's boudoir like water. The imperial doctors also changed one after another, and Yue Mingzhu was not getting better either.
At this time, Chu Chengyao sent Zhang Ying'er, the daughter of the doctor in his palace, to Yue Mingzhu to help Yue Mingzhu take care of herself. Zhang Ying'er met Yue Mingzhu by chance before her wedding. Zhang Ying'er knew medical science, had a kind and patient personality, and Yue Mingzhu's illness gradually improved with her by her side.
After Yue Mingzhu was able to walk around, she prepared gifts for Zhang Ying'er to bring to Chu Chengyao to express her gratitude.
Chu Chengyao returned the gift and attached a letter of concern. In his words, he showed not only no contempt and pity for Yue Mingzhu like others, but also more respect and comfort than others.
The appearance of Chu Chengyao brought life to Yue Mingzhu, who was depressed and self-reproaching due to sudden changes. The two of them had been communicating with each other for a while, and they had secretly developed feelings for each other.
Qin Zhixu said angrily: "There is a maid's cousin in the Hou Mansion, who happens to be working in Yue Mingzhu's yard. I also overheard the maids chatting and found out about it after questioning. Chu Chengyao did this to his second brother. Such a sinister killing hand must be for Yue Mingzhu!"
When Mrs. Guojiu heard this, she cried and scolded Chu Chengyao, but Qin Zongliang and the others were silent in thought.
After about a cup of tea, Qin Guogong looked at Qin Zongliang:
"Liang'er, what do you think?"
Qin Zongliang: "Grandpa, this is definitely not a smile for Bo's beauty as the third sister said. I think Chu Chengyao has been eyeing Yue Mingzhu for a long time, and Chu Chengyao also interfered with the second brother's marriage, for the sake of Let the prince and the Duke's Mansion be despised by the Queen Mother, and he can win the favor of the Queen Mother. This strategy is closely linked, and can not only harm the Duke's Mansion several times, but also find support for himself. "
Qin Guogong: "The Queen Mother is partial to her mother's family. The people in the royal family have always been outstanding enough to catch her eye. Even Prince Xiang, her own son, has no future, and the Queen Mother does not even want to see her grandchildren in Prince Xiang's Mansion. So. Chu Chengyao just wants to marry Yue Mingzhu and sell it in front of the Queen Mother."
Uncle Qin slapped the table and cursed: "You are so vicious!"
The Duke of Qin's eyes were gloomy: "With such patience, no wonder this son has been able to endure it for many years. Even though Yue Mingzhu has not entered the door of our Duke's palace, she can't be married to anyone who wants to."
In the Palace of Longevity.
The Queen Mother looked at the woman sitting upright and drinking soup, the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes were filled with tenderness:
"This ginseng soup is made of good ingredients and has many benefits for the body. Use more if you like."
The woman smiled and thanked the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother's smile grew even wider:
"Looks like your complexion has improved a lot. It's just the beginning of spring and the weather is still cold. Dress warmly every day so as not to get caught by the wind and cold again."
"Thank you, Queen Mother. With Ying'er watching you every day, I can't even think of wearing less clothes."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother glanced at the woman in green clothes standing outside the door, and handed Chen Momo a look from the corner of her eye. Chen Momo knowingly invited the woman in green clothes into the palace.
After the woman in green clothes saluted and stood up, the Queen Mother looked at her and said calmly:
"Your name is Ying'er? I heard from Mingzhu that you accompany her every day to comfort her and help her take care of her body. You are interested."
Zhang Yinger looked sideways at Yue Mingzhu who was sitting upright, smiled at each other, and respectfully replied:
"The folk girl He Ming... has a good relationship with Miss Yue, and she naturally wants everything to be well for her."
