Mrs. Qiao's suspicion became even more serious. She could not get out of bed because of the root cause of confinement disease. No one knew the characteristics of the poison better than her.
It's just that she reacted too slowly. Now she knows that An Qien's legs have always been fine.
An Qi'en saw Mrs. Qiao's unhappy face and deliberately asked, "What's wrong with grandma?"
Her innocent look was just right. Mrs. Qiao was a mute and couldn't tell how hard it was to eat Coptis chinensis!
Mrs. Qiao felt like she was being roasted by fire, and her heart felt like it was about to be scorched.
How did she find out? Why did you replace the rapeseed oil?
Mrs. Qiao was angry and confused. It was clear that An Qien's leg had problems before, and it must have been cured by her herself when it got better now.
Mrs. Qiao still had to coax her to treat herself.
"Oh, Qi'en, my legs will work hard for you."
An Qi'en sneered in her heart, Mrs. Qiao wasn't afraid that she would deliberately kill her?
"Grandma, I'm afraid Qi En can't do anything about your old problem. You can also try eating ginseng to recuperate."
Mrs. Qiao wanted to say it nicely, where can you get something as rare as ginseng!
She has a good relationship with the princess. If she had wanted to, she would have done it herself!
Mother Wu interrupted: "Young madam, you are now a popular person in front of the princess. This ginseng is not easy to find outside. Why don't you tell the princess about it?"
An Qi'en smiled lightly, and her tone was neither humble nor overbearing, but a bit overbearing: "Mother Wu, who do you think I am? I am just a little lady of the Hou family. Treating the princess's leg disease is something that all officials in the world should do and cannot take credit for it. How can I If someone is talking about it, it will also push the Hou Mansion to the forefront."
"Besides, the ginseng in the palace is for your Majesty, the prince, and the princess, not even the queen in the harem. Isn't Mother Wu looking up to me too much?"
Mother Wu's face turned red with embarrassment, she lowered her head and shut up in anger.
Mrs. Qiao finally figured it out. She just didn't want to help, that's why she spoke so righteously.
It's just lip service, but when it reaches this level, she really looks like an old woman and is easy to fool.
At this time, the maid came in to report.
"Old Madam, Young Madam, the reward from the palace has arrived."
Mrs. Qiao was startled and asked hurriedly: "How much is the reward?"
"Five boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, hundreds of pieces of silk and fabrics, and more than twenty boxes of silver."
Mrs. Qiao was even more surprised, why so many! The Hou Mansion is about to explode!
She couldn't help but smile happily: "I will definitely make a pot of good tea for the young master in the palace and entertain him well."
Maid: "Yes."
There were so many things that An Qi'en couldn't hide even if he wanted to.
With this money, there is no need for Qiao Jianghong to be the toilet official anymore!
She was just happy when An Qien's next words made her completely put on a bad face.
"Grandma, there have been many refugees coming to the capital recently. There is drought in the north and heavy rains in the south for several months. The people are in dire straits. The queen has given me so many rewards out of kindness. Qi'en wants to convey this kindness to the people who are in need of warmth. ."
"Going to Beijing, Qi'en wants to build a porridge shed and a temporary accommodation camp for the victims. The drought in the north is in need of food and money, and the south is severely affected. These rewards may seem like a lot, but if they are used among the people, they will be a drop in the bucket. My grandson's daughter-in-law must take all these things. Relieve the needy.”
"Donated everything?"
Mrs. Qiao looked at An Qien in disbelief.
"Yes, it's all donated. Grandma, don't worry. Qi'en will not touch the money from the Hou Mansion. What Qi'en will touch are the rewards given by the royal family and my dowry."
Mrs. Qiao's face was ashen, as ugly as if she had eaten a fly.
Mother Wu urged her anxiously: "Young madam, think twice. Things are not going well these days. Big families are all searching for donations. It's okay for the Marquis Mansion to donate appropriately."
"Mother Wu, have you grown taller recently, and your hands have grown too?" An Qien gave her a cold look.
Mother Wu was so ashamed that she kept silent.
Mrs. Qiao disagreed and said with a cold face: "This can't be done. You have to take the overall situation into consideration. If the Marquis government donates so much at once, doesn't it force all the reputable and respectable people in Beijing to give away their wealth? If you do this, you will easily be hated by others. ."
An Qi'en looked calm and retorted calmly: "Grandma is worrying too much. Qi'en will not donate it in the name of the Hou's Mansion. Qi'en will do these good deeds in the name of the Queen. Once she comes to the Hou's Mansion, she will not donate it because of it." This thing is being squeezed out, and secondly the refugees are being helped, which is the best of both worlds.”
She won't let the money go to the Hou Mansion in vain!
Mrs. Qiao was furious, and she had been holding it in. Now she was a useless person lying on the bed, and she could not rely on her elders to live in old age.
She looked at An Qien with complicated eyes now. She originally thought that she was kind, weak, and obedient, but she didn't expect that she would be paralyzed in bed by such a person.
How poisonous! Silent poison!
Mrs. Qiao now looked at An Qi'en and felt a little scared. She was really afraid that one day she would be quietly poisoned to death by An Qi'en!
After An Qien retreated.
Mother Wu also discovered the clues and fanned the flames: "Old madam, the young madam may have murderous intentions. Your legs are definitely not due to confinement disease."
Mrs. Qiao frowned and was frightened. Looking at her unable to move her legs, the fear in her heart reached its peak.
The older a person gets, the more afraid he is of death!
She said with a sad look on her face: "It is not easy to get rid of her now. She has already discovered it once. She pretended not to know, and I can only pretend not to know. The cost of food and clothing in the future is particularly worrying." Just be careful."
Mother Wu continued to comfort her: "Old Madam, from what I can see, the Young Madam's thoughts are no longer in the Hou Mansion. Forcing her to stay will only cause trouble in the Mansion, and the Hou Mansion has not benefited from her at all, so why not Let the prince make peace with the young lady."
"Then bring Aunt Shen back. Behind Aunt Shen is King Yuhe. Not to mention her rank is higher than that of the An Mansion. Aunt Shen really loves the prince and will definitely take the Hou Mansion as the priority in everything. You keep the young lady, she He was so smart, but when he was unhappy one day, he poisoned us, and we didn’t even know how he died.”
Mrs. Qiao frowned and agreed very much with what Mother Wu said. A woman like An Qien could not be kept...
An Qi'en went to Wenyuanju and saw Qiao Jianghong. He was lying on the bed with a pale face and haggard features. When he saw An Qi'en came back, he tried his best to sit up.
"came back."
He said hello first, his tone was neither cold nor indifferent.
"Your Majesty." An Qien blessed his body.
Seeing her radiant face, Qiao Jianghong thought that she was living a good life in the palace.
"I don't plan to go on errands in the palace. I will stay in the house from now on. I can live a life of running a shop."
After all this trouble, he was too embarrassed to go to the palace. He was looked down upon and targeted everywhere, and he was almost depressed to death.
This time he was beaten even more to the point of being half-dead, so he thought he might as well save his life.
An Qi'en didn't have any objections and changed the topic lightly: "It's fine if the prince is determined. I'll give you a safe pulse."
