Chapter 673: Mother Lu and Lu Jiangyue are asking for money
The court doctor glanced at Lu Jiangyue and said, "Miss Lu, stroke is what people often call hemiplegia, rash or stroke."
"This is an acute brain disease with a high probability of death. Now I can only do my best to save Madam's life. But even if Madam can survive, it's also..."
Shen Nanqiao frowned and asked, "What?"
The court doctor sighed and said, "One side of the body will also become weak, numb, or even paralyzed, which is what people often call hemiplegia. In addition, the mouth will be crooked, the eyes will be squinting, the vision will be blurred, the pronunciation will be unclear, etc...."
Lu Jiangyue's eyes were full of surprise!
In her eyes, ordinary wives of officials were out of her reach, not to mention that Zhou was the wife of a first-rank official.
If her brother had not married Shen Nanqiao, she would probably not even have the qualifications to appear in front of Zhou in her life.
Lu Jiangyue had previously thought about asking Zhou to tell her something good.
How come Zhou's life was in danger in the blink of an eye? Even if he could be saved from the brink of death, he would be paralyzed and even his mouth would be crooked...
It turned out that being the wife of a first-rank official was not as glamorous as she had imagined.
Shen Nanqiao was completely panicked and stared at the court doctor: "Why did my mother suddenly become like this? Is someone trying to harm her?!
"I know. It must be that Concubine Xian is holding a grudge against me for what happened in the past, so she sent someone to murder my mother, right?!"
The court doctor was startled and quickly looked outside. Seeing that there was no one here, he breathed a sigh of relief and said seriously, "Miss, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want!"
"Madam has not been in good health for a long time. The virtuous concubine is kind and sent the imperial physician to see Madam. Otherwise, Madam would not have survived until now."
"Don't ever say that again!"
Shen Nanqiao's eyes showed some shame: "I misunderstood her..."
Then, she grabbed the doctor's sleeve tightly and begged, "Doctor, I beg you, you must save my mother!"
The court physician also watched Shen Nanqiao grow up.
Although the eldest daughter used to be self-righteous and a little spoiled, she had never done anything particularly vicious.
As for my wife... let's not mention her.
Since he was receiving a salary from the Shen family, he would naturally do his part with all his heart.
"Please rest assured, Miss. I will do my best to treat you!"
"Please go out first."
Shen Nanqiao said: "Then we have the doctor from Laofu."
Then, she left the room with Lu's mother and Lu Jiangyue.
Mother Lu pulled Lu Jiangyue aside and frowned, "If something happens to your mother-in-law, your father-in-law won't blame us, right?"
Lu Jiangyue couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Mom, didn't you just hear the Shen family's doctor say that Aunt Zhou has been in poor health for a long time. What does this have to do with us?"
Mother Lu finally let go of her worries: "Yes, yes, this has nothing to do with us!"
"Alas, it's getting late. Your brother is coming home from the Luming Feast. What if no one is home?"
"We can't help much here anyway, why don't we go back and wait for your brother? He's still young, and I'm really worried that he can't take care of himself."
Although Lu Jiangyue liked the prosperity of the Shen Mansion, she also knew that if she wanted to find a good marriage, her hope would all depend on her brother, so she nodded immediately: "Okay."
"Then mother, go tell my sister-in-law."
Before, at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall, Lu's mother said that Shen Nanqiao was a jinx because she was in a desperate situation.
After seeing the splendor of the Shen Mansion, she couldn't help but show Shen Nanqiao a flattering smile at this moment: "Daughter-in-law, look at your mother-in-law, we can't help much. If Lin'er goes back and there's no one at home, he doesn't know how anxious he will be."
"How about we go home and get the house in order?"
Shen Nanqiao had long seen through the coldness of this family, and didn't expect them to stay with him at this time. He immediately frowned and waved his hand impatiently: "If you want to leave, just leave. Don't talk nonsense!"
There was a flash of displeasure in Mother Lu's eyes.
Is there any daughter-in-law in the world who dares to talk to her mother-in-law like this?
But this was the Shen Residence, so she said nothing in the end and just pulled Lu Jiangyue out.
On the way, the two met the housekeeper who was directing the maids and servants to tidy up the warehouse.
Seeing the silks, satins, gold, silver and jewellery in their hands, Mother Lu and Lu Jiangyue's eyes lit up!
Although the housekeeper looked down on their vulgar manners, he still stepped forward politely and saluted: "Madam, Miss Lu."
Mother Lu and Lu Jiangyue had always interacted with ordinary people in the market. When had they ever been treated so politely? They couldn't help but feel a little flattered.
Anyway, Lu Jianglin is already a tribute scholar, so it won’t be long before they can become officials’ wives.
"No need to be so polite, butler."
The two men slowly walked to a maid, looked at the cloth in her hands, their eyes lit up, and they couldn't help but reach out to touch it.
"This material is so beautiful! How can the fabric store we usually go to have such quality?"
Mother Lu took the pieces of cloth from the maid without saying anything, then smiled at the housekeeper: "I'll take these things back and make a few clothes for Nan Qiao, should that be okay?"
Lu Jiangyue also picked up a pair of earrings and a hairpin from another tray: "I like these!"
"Butler, tell my sister-in-law when you get back, and consider it as a send-off for me!"
After they finished speaking, the two left in a hurry, as if if they were a second later, the things in their hands would be taken back.
Not only the housekeeper, but even the maids and servants were dumbfounded!
The Shen family was prosperous, but they had some poor distant relatives who came to ask for money. But their faces and eating habits were not as ugly as that mother and daughter!
Thinking that the master would actually become a relative with such a person, it really makes things difficult for the master...
The two maids whose things were taken away looked at the housekeeper in embarrassment: "Housekeeper, this..."
If something is missing, how will they explain it?
The butler shook his head and waved his hand helplessly: "You guys go do other things first, I will talk to the master about this matter."
"Yes."
In the evening, Shen Maoxuan finally returned home.
His adopted son was the champion of this spring's imperial examination, and his son-in-law was the 51st. Such results can be said to be very dazzling!
Shen Maoxue didn't know how many compliments he had heard today. Even his colleagues who usually didn't get along with him became more polite to him. Shen Maoxue hadn't felt so good for a long time.
As soon as he returned home, he heard about Zhou's affairs, but Shen Maoxue did not take it to heart.
Anyway, they had already separated, so if Zhou really died in this accident, it would just save them a lot of trouble.
Without Zhou being an eyesore, maybe the virtuous concubine would be more pleasing to him.
