Chapter 138 I Just Want to Marry You
"Besides, I have tasted everything that my mother has put in her mouth beforehand. How can I be fine if there is a problem? If it is really a problem with my blood, why didn't it occur then or during the day, but only after you finished your shift?"
"This can't be justified."
"Everyone understands that staying up late is not easy. No one will really blame you if you are careless or lazy. Big brother didn't say anything either. You can't shirk responsibility this way if you want to."
"Fortunately I wasn't on duty last night, otherwise I would never be able to wash myself clean even if I jumped into the Yellow River."
"I work diligently, who have I offended?"
"Sister-in-law, you can't bully me like this when I'm alone. If you want to blame me for all the wild cats and dogs, then you should take care of the sick by yourself in the future, so that you don't blame me for any little trouble."
……
Mu Lianzhi's words left Jiang speechless, and Ling Yuchi's face became even uglier. If it got out that the eldest family bullied a widowed daughter-in-law, would he still be able to see people?
At this time, the old lady also woke up, waved her hand and made a gesture, and the doctor said:
"In fact, whether it is a blood problem or not, we can tell with a test. If there is a delay, there must be some residue."
Nanny Li took an empty bowl, and the doctor burned it with fire and rubbed it with some unknown medicine. Then Mu Lianzhi pierced her fingertips and dripped blood into it in public. After the doctor carefully examined it, he shook his head:
"There's nothing abnormal about this blood. This amount shouldn't be normal. The symptoms are similar to mild food poisoning. It could also be caused by spoiled, unclean, or contaminated food. Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that the blood clashes with some medicinal materials and causes delayed fermentation."
“It’s hard to say what the specific reason is.”
"However, it is inevitable for people to eat grains, it is not a big deal. After all, the old lady is old and her body is not as strong as that of young people. It is normal for her to have a stronger reaction. You should be more careful in the future. If it is not a common thing, do not use it without permission."
"You still need to get enough sleep and rest for your body."
"As for the treatment of stray cats and dogs, as long as the people in the courtyard strengthen patrols at night, these animals will not come close and will not have much impact..."
The doctor prescribed a few more doses of medicine. No matter what the old lady was thinking or whether she felt any pain or not, the matter ended there. The old lady didn't dare to have anyone take care of her anymore, so she drove everyone away on the pretext of recuperating.
Ling Yuchi was obviously dissatisfied with Jiang, and he walked out without saying anything. Sang Xi said nothing and walked away smartly. Mu Lianzhi stroked her slightly painful fingertips, sneered and walked past her.
Jiang would never have imagined in her dreams that she had the cat lured here with catnip. A few words and a few cat calls disturbed the old lady's mind. A spot on her sleeve was soaked in the juice extract of the water spinach that she had saved before, and her fingertips would get some of it wherever they touched it.
And this small amount was the gift she prepared specifically for the old lady and Jiang.
She knew that even if Jiang was just pretending, she would most likely sit at the head of the bed and hand the old lady a handkerchief or wipe the corner of her mouth or something like that, so before she left, she would wet the handkerchief and quilt that the old lady had placed at the head of the bed with the corner of her sleeve that had been soaked in water.
As for how much can be left, how much effect it will have, whether it will have any effect, and who will suffer, it all depends on God's will.
Things were a little worse than she expected, but the merits outweighed the flaws. It was still better for Jiang to be the one to bear the brunt of the consequences than for Sang Xi.
In the end, Jiang was left standing there exhausted, looking aggrieved but helpless, with nowhere to vent.
……
After another day of sleep in Yuxiu Courtyard, that night, Mu Lianzhi dressed up beautifully and went next door.
As soon as she arrived, she heard that Beitang Yi was there, working in the nearby study. She took the candied fruits and snacks on the table and went over excitedly.
"If you don't make a decision, you will suffer the consequences. You'd better break up with her as soon as possible! Once your affair gets out, it will be bad for both you and her. People's gossip is scary. It's not too late now."
"Ayi, you are not a real person. The overall situation is more important. Even if you look down on the princess and don't want to marry the prime minister's daughter, you can delay it for a while but not forever. You will have to face it sooner or later. If you make a decision early, you will still have some choice."
"And peaches."
"But she can't be seen in public, and you can't even use it as an excuse. People have to bow their heads under the eaves. It's not like you haven't liked her before, right?"
“Ayi…”
In front of the door, Mu Lianzhi heard these words. It was Si Chao's voice, and she remembered it.
Although she was mentally prepared, her mind went blank for a moment when she paused.
What does he mean?
What do you mean he is not a person?
Could it be that apart from the Crown Princess and her, Beitang Yi has other entanglements with or is in a relationship with another woman?
Mu Lianzhi's mind was confused. She wanted to listen again, but the room was silent for a long time.
At this moment, a servant passed by not far ahead. Mu Lianzhi knew that she could not stay any longer. She turned around and was about to leave, but the jade bracelet on her hand accidentally touched the beads on the purse, making a crisp "ping" sound.
When he looked up again, Si Chao and Beitang Yi had appeared inside the door, one after the other.
Looking at each other from a distance, the atmosphere was awkward and cold for a moment.
He nodded as a greeting, then turned around and strode away.
As soon as she returned to Simuyuan, Beitang Yi followed her:
"Zhizhi, when did you come here?"
Because she had sent him a message in advance saying that she would have to take care of an illness these few days and it would be inconvenient for her to come over, and Beitang Yi was also busy with trivial matters. He really didn't expect her to come over today, and come so early.
"Just came here."
Seeing that the smile on her face was obviously a little forced, and her attitude was a lot more unfamiliar, knowing that she might have heard the conversation between them just now, Beitang Yi felt a little guilty, and walked forward slowly, holding her arms and gently stroking them in a soothing manner:
"Zhizhi, I..."
Pulling her little hand, Beitang Yi wanted to say "He hasn't forgotten her words, he won't marry anyone else", but Mu Lianzhi's hand suddenly shrank and she screamed:
"Ouch~"
"what happened?"
Pulling her hand back, Beitang Yi turned it over and saw a few red spots on her fingertips, which seemed to be a little swollen:
"You are hurt?"
"fine."
Pulling her hand back, Mu Lianzhi lowered her eyes and covered her face with her sleeve. It was just that the place where she had been pricked by the needle had just been pinched hard by him, and she didn't want to be too pretentious in front of him.
His concern might only cause her more pain in the future.
She should have adapted to being alone sooner.
My heart feels empty and a little uncomfortable.
Seeing her reaction, Beitang Yi roughly knew what she was thinking. He took a step forward, pulled her into his arms, and hugged her tightly with his arms intertwined:
"Zhizhi, Si Chao is not me. He is doing this for my own good. He has considered everything, but he doesn't know that I only want to marry you."
There are three thousand rivers of water, and he just wants to drink from this one.
Her almond-shaped eyes widened, and in an instant, all the blood in Mu Lianzhi's body seemed to be frozen by something.
