In the third lady's yard, servants were busy coming in and out, boiling water and brewing medicine, all with solemn faces. Jin Han was waiting outside the door anxiously, her eyes were red, as if she was about to cry.
.
"Jin Han..." When Mu Qingyang arrived, she saw Jin Han's thin body standing outside the door from a distance, seeming to be trembling slightly, and couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart. He had never cared much about this quiet and introverted daughter.
Even though he often hangs out in this courtyard, he rarely talks to her. Jin Han often comes over to say hello and then goes back to his room. Now seeing her standing alone in the wind reminds him of the time when Mengxian died of illness.
The Xia who passed out outside her door also looked so fragile.
"Dad..." Jin Han hurriedly wiped away the tears that fell, lowered his head and said goodbye in confusion. His surprised look was not like a lady at all.
Mu Qingyang, who was still a little worried about her, couldn't help but frowned, and even his voice became stiff: "How is your aunt? Why didn't you call a doctor when you felt unwell yesterday? She has never been in good health.
, haven’t I told you a long time ago to come and tell me if you feel unwell?”
Frightened by his anger, Jin Han shrank his shoulders and took several steps back. He hesitated and couldn't say anything, biting his lips tightly and not daring to speak.
"Where is Lianying? Where have you gone?" Mu Qingyang saw that her daughter was still reluctant to speak and had no patience to wait for her, so she wanted to ask Lianying, but she didn't see her figure.
"Master, this slave is here." At the end of the crowd, a purple figure limped over with the support of the old woman, and then knelt in front of Mu Qingyang.
Lianying was originally a lady from an official family. Later, her family members were implicated and imprisoned. She was bought and kept by the Xia family who was still in the capital at that time. This stay lasted for many years. Lianying had no family. In her heart,
Xia was her family, so even though she was beautiful and Mu Qingyang had intended to bring her into his room, she begged Xia not to go because Mu Qingyang had been unhappy with Xia about this matter.
As time went by, the matter fell into disuse, but Mu Qingyang admired this girl who did not follow the dragon and the phoenix even more.
"What's going on?" Mu Qingyang frowned. Although Lianying is a girl, she is protected by the Xia family as a sister, so no one dares to bully her. Now seeing her like this, she has obviously been punished.
.
"I beg you to seek justice for your wife. My wife has a good temper and does not want to be an enemy, but she is often bullied by others. She doesn't want to bring trouble to the family, so she ordered none of us to reveal it to the master. But master, my wife is pregnant this time.
He is the heir of the master, how could the master let his wife be bullied like this again?" Lianying cried so hard that she was so aggrieved that even Jin Han stood aside and sobbed softly.
Mu Qingyang frowned when he heard that, and quickly gave the old woman a wink, "Get up and talk first. Please explain to me clearly what's going on? And what's going on with your feet?"
At this time, the old lady arrived with the support of Bai Su, and Mrs. Lin also came over. The Jiang family and the Liu family had already heard about it, and since everyone knew it, Mr. Mu had no reason to hide it and let everyone
They all entered the main hall of the courtyard.
"What did the doctor say? Can the child be saved?" As soon as the old lady sat down, she asked about Xia's situation. Naturally, her most concerned about the children of the Mu family.
"The doctor said that the situation is very dangerous. It has been delayed for too long. It is difficult to save the child, but he will still try his best." Lianying bit her lip, but her tears fell again, "The third lady's body is not good at all.
It's suitable for pregnancy. God has the foresight to allow the third lady to be pregnant with an heir again."
These words touched the old lady's heart, and she nodded: "Yes, God opened his eyes and allowed our Mu family to continue to flourish."
"Why didn't you hire a doctor?" Mu Qingyang patted the table beside her, "I am the richest man in Linyang, can't I even hire a doctor?"
"My slave wanted to go out to ask for the doctor yesterday, but the lady's people arrested me. They insisted that I had stolen something, so I locked my slave in a dark room and knelt all night. In the morning, I said I had found the thing and released my slave back."
Lianying clenched her fists and continued, "I said that the third lady was unwell. I rushed to call the doctor, but the first lady's people tied up the slave without mercy. I feel sorry for the third lady."
Mu Qingyang looked at Lin coldly: "What did she steal?"
Lin is a calm person. Even though she was confused when she first heard the news, she has already sorted out her thoughts along the way. "Lan Xi's coral earrings disappeared. I went to look for them in person. Later, a girl said that I
I saw him there, so I asked someone to bring Lianying. Unexpectedly, this girl refused to admit it. Thinking that today's Jijili ceremony would not make the matter a big deal, I locked her up first."
"The thing was found later?" Mu Qingyang sneered. Lin really never got tired of playing such tricks. He kept turning a blind eye and she was really enjoying herself.
"Later, I found it in a servant's room. I have already sold him away." Mrs. Lin saw that Mu Qingyang's face was still extremely ugly, "Master Mingjian, I really didn't know that my sister was unwell, otherwise I would never have done it.
There is no need for anyone to call a doctor."
Mu Qingyang turned her head to look at Jin Han again, and couldn't help but get angry when she saw her weak look: "You are the third young lady of the Mu family. Why don't you ask a doctor for your aunt's body? If you can't leave the house, you won't go to your aunt Lin."
Won't you go to your grandmother?"
"Dad, my daughter went to find her grandmother, but the servants stopped her from going. My daughter..." Jin Han clung to the brocade handkerchief and cried silently. She kept blaming herself in her heart. If she could be as brave as her eldest sister, she could sneak away.
Go out and find a doctor for her mother. Maybe her mother won't have to lie in there and suffer.
"Presumptuous." Mu Qingyang slapped the table again and pointed at the group of servants angrily, "Who is it? Who has such ulterior motives? I, the young lady of the Mu Mansion, dare to stop me. This is because I have swallowed my ambition."
Is the leopard brave?"
Bai Su walked out at this moment, glanced at Mrs. Lin unhurriedly, and then said: "The old lady has been feeling unwell these past few days, so the second lady sent someone to guard outside the yard, saying that no one would be disturbed.
The old lady is resting, the old lady rested early yesterday, the third lady came to look for the old lady, she must have been stopped by those people."
"Sir, I am also thinking about the old lady's recovery. The doctor said that the old lady should rest and try not to be disturbed by others." Mrs. Lin quickly explained for herself.
"Okay, very good, really good." Mu Qingyang's eyes were like sharp knives piercing Lin's eyes. The atmosphere was so solemn that no one dared to speak.
