Because Mrs. Zhao came to urge the adoption three days ago, and Zhao Yiran also wanted to understand this problem as soon as possible, the adoption of Zhao Lue was quickly decided. Zhao Yiran's wives and concubines knew that the unlucky guy who was adopted was indeed Zhao Lue. Their precious sons, who were not their own, celebrated with joy.
They were happy, and Wei Shichu was also very happy. In addition to accompanying Zhao Lue during the day, she also found time to go out and prepare to buy her own house. After she left the Zhao Mansion, it was impossible for her to return to Prince An's Mansion and have her destiny controlled by others.
After several efforts, Wei Shichu finally bought the house next door to Mrs. Zhao, because even if Zhao Lue was adopted by Mrs. Zhao, she was not prepared to stop interacting with him. This was impossible, although Mrs. Zhao might have objections to this. , but Wei Shichu was confident that he could convince him to allow himself and Zhao Lue to get along normally.
The adoption matter was settled quickly. Zhao Yiran treated Zhao Lue like a hot potato and wanted to send him away immediately. Mr. Zhao also wanted to return to his home and live with his adopted great-grandson immediately. Sun cultivates feelings.
The adopted person, Zhao Lue, was hesitant and confused. Even though Wei Shichu had told him the day before that mother and son would meet outside soon and told him not to be afraid, Zhao Lue was still young after all, and suddenly left his mother. It is always uneasy to leave a familiar environment and go to a strange place.
But he was very sensible. He just flattened his mouth but kept holding back from crying, and allowed the nanny to hold him and follow Mr. Zhao away.
Wei Shichu saw Mr. Zhao returning with Zhao Lue at the door of his newly bought house, and immediately went to greet him.
"Mom!" Zhao Lue's round eyes suddenly burst into intense light and he shouted in surprise.
"Baby..." Wei Shichu reached out and wanted to take him from the nanny's arms, but suddenly a crutch stretched out from the ground and stopped her.
"Who are you? What do you want to do?!" Mr. Zhao asked Wei Shichu with an angry look.
"Fifth Master, I am Zhao Lue's biological mother. I am no longer Zhao Yiran's concubine and have no relationship with that family..." Wei Shichu explained.
"I don't care if you are Zhao Yiran's concubine or not. Now that Zhao Lue has adopted my grandson as his son, he has nothing to do with you. Don't bother us!" Mr. Zhao's cloudy eyes were full of hostility towards Wei Shichu. .
"Fifth Master, I can cure Fifth Grandma's disease." When Wei Shichu saw that Mr. Zhao was not being reasonable with her at all, he simply took out the benefits and talked about it. It was Wang Zha who opened the mouth. She had inquired about the relationship between the old man and his wife. The relationship has always been very good, and he has never taken concubines in his life, which is why there are few talented heirs. However, the fifth prince has never been angry with his wife for this. Even though his wife is now bedridden and seriously ill, he has never disliked her, and Zhao Yiran reciprocated. Most of the money was used to hire famous doctors to treat his wife.
Sure enough, when he heard that Wei Shichu could cure his wife's illness, the Fifth Master immediately stared at Wei Shichu with his draped eyelids and said, "You know how to cure diseases? If you lie to me, what will happen to you?" It’s not up to you to decide.”
Wei Shichu looked at him without fear and said, "If I fail to cure the Fifth Grandma, I will disappear in front of you immediately, never see Zhao Lue again, and never bother you again."
"Okay, then I will trust you once and don't let me down." After the fifth master finished speaking, he turned around and walked back to his home on crutches.
When Wei Shichu saw this, he hugged Zhao Lue and followed him.
Seeing that the fifth master didn't say anything, the others also shut up and didn't stop him.
"Mother..." Zhao Lue hugged Wei Shichu's neck tightly, like a cat that had suffered a lot of grievances outside. His little face pressed tightly against Wei Shichu's face, and he said aggrievedly, "I thought I would never see you again. I can’t see my mother anymore…”
"No, I said I would meet you today. Don't worry, it will be easy for you to see me even in the future. I live next door." Wei Shichu coaxed the child softly, holding one hand He kept rubbing his back, hoping to eliminate his anxiety today.
"I'm very scared today, mother, please don't abandon me in the future, okay?" Zhao Lue looked at Wei Shichu cautiously, with expectation and anxiety in his black and white eyes. Wei Shichu felt sad when he saw such a small child. I have no sense of security. Today I was adopted by my biological father into a strange family, so I feel that I have been abandoned. It is so humble that I can even beg my mother not to abandon me.
"Okay, mother will never abandon you, don't be afraid." Wei Shichu assured him. Zhao Lue's eyes suddenly lit up. He believed in his mother unconditionally.
The mother and son were talking and walking with the fifth master, and unknowingly came to a spacious but dark room with a slight peculiar smell.
"Follow me to see your great-grandmother." The fifth master said to Zhao Lue, and then looked at Wei Shichu, "You'd better have the real ability to cure my wife. If you can really cure her, then I won't stop you and Zhao Lue. Let’s meet briefly; if it can’t be cured, hum!”
Wei Shichu nodded neither humble nor arrogantly: "If it is cured, I want to be able to come and go freely here and get along with Zhao Lue at any time. Don't worry, I am Zhao Lue's mother. I will only hope that he lives well and will not hinder him."
The Fifth Master stared at Wei Shichu sharply for a while and then agreed to her.
So Wei Shichu handed Zhao Lue back to the wet nurse who followed him, and said softly to him: "Baby, I have to treat my great-grandmother now. Can you wait here?"
"Okay." Zhao Lue nodded sensibly.
"Open the windows for ventilation, and then light the lights. If the room is not bright enough, boil a basin of water and bring it over." Wei Shichu ordered his servants to make these preparations, and then began to examine the fifth wife's body.
The Fifth Grandma was lying on the bed skinny, and the quilt covering her body could barely see the curvature. She had experienced the tragedy of the white-haired person giving away the black-haired person. She could not bear the blow of the death of her only grandson, so her body collapsed. At this time, she was still alive. The reason why she was still gasping for breath was because the Fifth Master begged her not to leave him alone as an old man in this world.
Wei Shichu checked her body, but she had no reaction, no desire to live, and no interest in the outside world.
She suffered from typical hemiplegia caused by cerebral hemorrhage. This disease may still be recovered slowly hundreds of years later with the help of modern medical methods, but in this era of scarce medical resources, it is a terminal illness.
However, this was not a problem for Wei Shichu. She took out the golden needle she brought, soaked it in boiling water for a quarter of an hour to disinfect, and then methodically inserted the needle into the Fifth Grandma.
The Fifth Master saw that her movements were deft and nimble, and her needle-injection movements were fast and steady, and the big stone on her chest suddenly dropped. It seemed that she was not a liar, but actually had some real ability, so he couldn't help but have some hope in his heart.
