Chapter 399: Complain first
"What's wrong with my sister-in-law now? She won't listen to any good words. It really makes me angry!"
Qiao Zhenzhen and Wu complained and told her the whole story.
"My master is nothing, so why should she order him around?"
"Even His Majesty, without even asking, asked my master to take care of him. Who the hell does she think she is?"
"And I told her clearly that the prescription prescribed by the imperial physician is fine. The right thing to do is to take the medicine properly and rest well."
"She won't listen to a word I say. If she continues like this, I don't think even the gods can save her!"
Without further ado, Qiao Zhenzhen started complaining.
She knew very well that only the crying child would get the candy.
If you meet someone like Yuan Jiahui, you have to complain first, otherwise when she starts crying, you will think she is deliberately biased.
Mrs. Wu frowned, but still tried to comfort her daughter.
Poured her a cup of tea.
"Have some tea and calm down. Your sister-in-law is worried about her health too."
The eldest daughter-in-law used to be gentle and quiet, but since when did she become so hideous?
Qiao Zhenzhen drank the tea, put down the teacup and said:
"Mom, I'm not exaggerating. Her body desperately needs rest and tranquility, otherwise it will greatly affect her lifespan."
"Of course I don't know, but she won't listen even if I try to persuade her. How about..."
"Stop it," Qiao Zhenzhen said. "My master is still cultivating in the mountains and doesn't have time to treat her. Besides, given her attitude towards me, I'm afraid if he finds out, he'll kill her, so why would he treat her?"
Those who don't follow the doctor's orders will not be treated. This is one of her master's ten rules for not treating patients.
Mrs. Wu gently patted the back of her daughter's hand.
"How could a miracle doctor be like you said?"
Qiao Zhenzhen rolled her eyes.
"That's because you don't know my master well enough."
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to care. I originally just wanted to take Yuzhu to see her today. Last time I found out she was pregnant with twins, I was a little worried. I was afraid that I wouldn't treat her equally, so I stopped by to take my sister-in-law to see her. But she looked down on me. I was being too sentimental. From now on, I won't care about her affairs anymore."
Qiao Zhenzhen prides herself on being emotionally stable, but this time she was really a little angry.
"They are both your sisters-in-law. Just do your mother's honor and don't be angry with your eldest sister-in-law."
"Mom, you always try to smooth things over." Qiao Zhenzhen remembered something. "Oh, by the way, I saw the maid next to my sister-in-law has a woman's hairstyle. Is she married?"
Speaking of this, Mrs. Mo sighed.
"Meixiang originally wanted to marry someone else, but your sister-in-law...she couldn't serve your brother herself, so...she gave Meixiang to your brother."
"Wasn't there already a concubine who was the eldest sister-in-law's maidservant?"
"You mean Concubine Yun? Your sister-in-law dislikes her because she gave birth to a child and is no longer on the same page with her. Oh, I forgot to tell you that your eldest brother's two concubines are pregnant again."
No wonder Yuan Jiahui was so anxious.
She had given birth to two children before, so she had the advantage of numbers.
Now it seems that we are about to be overtaken by others.
Qiao Zhenzhen frowned: "What about this one? Is it because she wants to be on the same page with her that she won't let this one have a child?"
You have to know that in this era, children are the foundation of a woman's life.
He has to use others, but is not allowed to have children, so he can only rely on her to survive.
It's like wanting the horse to run but not eat grass.
I'm afraid it will backfire in the end.
Qiao Zhenzhen sensed a hint of instability.
Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, which really made people worry.
Wu waved her hand and said, "I can't take care of your eldest brother's affairs in the yard. Now I just take care of the children."
Now the children of the eldest wife are all raised in Mingde Hall, and are served by several wet nurses.
"Your father said that when the children grow up, we should put them together to study and see who is the best at studying."
"If you can't study like your eldest brother, then see if you can learn martial arts. If you can't even learn martial arts, like your second brother, you can't see the end at a glance, then learn to be a good person. In our family's situation, as long as they don't go out and get into trouble, it will be no problem to ensure that they have enough food and clothing."
Qiao Zhenzhen nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
"That's how it should be. There's no throne to inherit in our family. Dad's position is for the most capable."
"When Dad was still around, if I had some ability, I might have been able to help, but now that Dad has retired, I'll have to rely on myself in the end."
"Your father also said that who will support the family in the future will not be determined by who was born, but by who has the most talent."
"When your father and I are gone, whether this family can live a good life or not will depend entirely on their own luck."
Qiao Zhenzhen took Wu's arm and said coquettishly: "You and Dad will definitely live a hundred years. It's too early to say this. I still have to rely on you to support me in my mother's family. Pointing at my two brothers, tsk tsk tsk -"
"You, you just say these nice things to coax me all day long."
It was almost time, and Qiao Zhenzhen gave some final instructions.
"Mother, please remember to pay more attention to my second sister-in-law. She only had two babies this time. It's good, but it's a bit dangerous. If there are any problems, remember to send someone to come to the Duke's Mansion to find me."
Mrs. Wu smiled and said, "I see. With a ready-made little miracle doctor like you here, what could possibly go wrong? I see Yuzhu is in good health. She told me to move around more, and she's doing it. She's not slacking off."
Qiao Zhenzhen nodded. "Chinese New Year is just over a month away, and I'm planning to have Master come to the Duke's Mansion to celebrate with me. It just so happens that Yuzhu's due date is around February, so I'll have Master stay a little longer this time."
After saying that, he thought about it and gave another reminder.
"Mom, if you go out for social events, don't let anyone know if they ask you. My master is the most impatient person. He says he's old and just wants some quiet time."
"Also, if anything happens to my sister-in-law, please remember to inform me."
"After all, she is my eldest brother's wife. Even though I am angry with her, I will not ignore her."
Speaking of Yuan Jiahui, Mrs. Wu couldn't help but look sad.
Sighing, "I know—"
After saying this, Qiao Zhenzhen was still not reassured, so she went to find Mo Qingyang and emphasized it again.
Mo Qingyang also agreed readily.
After Qiao Zhenzhen left, he called Chen San in.
Let him keep an eye on Xie Lanyuan during this period of time.
Every time my daughter asks me to pay attention to something, it turns out that there are basically problems.
My daughter is particularly sensitive to what is happening in the backyard.
Both of his sons are careless by nature. They are like blind people and cannot see many things right in front of them.
In the past, he didn't care much about the affairs of the rear house.
Later it was discovered that a thousand-mile long dike can be destroyed by an ant hole, and a family is often not defeated by external forces, but dies from within.
The Mo family shouldn't have this hidden danger.
He only has two sons in total, both of whom are born to his wife, and he has no concubines to mess things up.
Logically, they are all of one mind.
But it was all because of his previous negligence that the selection of the eldest daughter-in-law was not satisfactory.
Concubines were brought home one after another. Before the eldest son reached the age of thirty, he already had three concubines and six children.
When there are too many people, people's minds become scattered and there are too many things to do.
Mo Qingyang was annoyed by these things in the first place and that's why he didn't want to take a concubine.
Unexpectedly, his eldest daughter-in-law added to his troubles.
