Chapter 237: Character (Second update)
Grandma Ge said: "Old madam, please don't be angry. It's not worth it to be so angry that you lose your health."
“Let me tell you, why would a serious young lady from the Duke’s mansion fall in love with our Pei family? It turns out that it was the Cui family who knew something was going to happen, so they came to our Pei family. Humph, I am such a noble legitimate daughter!”
The old lady spoke, looking very dissatisfied with Cui Qingci.
“Look at the way the Cui family looked aloof before. Well, it’s not gone. Now it’s not up to us to decide whether their granddaughter will live or die.”
Mrs. Pei felt resentful and dissatisfied when she thought of the condescending behavior of the Cui family when she went to Cui Mansion.
Not to mention that as soon as Cui Qingci entered the house, the old man said that Cui Qingci would be in charge of the property, which made her even more dissatisfied.
She has been in control of the middle fund for so long, and she didn’t even give it to her own daughter-in-law, so why should she give it to her grandson-in-law?
Not to mention that Cui Qingci actually blocked the way of her grandniece.
“That stupid woman, if she wasn’t Nan Chen’s mother, she thought I would tolerate her.”
The old lady said these words with a sinister look.
Mother Ge knew the old lady’s behavior, “Old lady, should we still follow the old rules?”
"Take out all your silver and **** your beads. Be careful, or all your clothes will be burned."
“Yes, old lady.”
As if she had thought of something, the old lady had a sinister look on her face and murderous intent in her eyes.
"If he is not a law-abiding person, the Cui family will be gone. It will be useless and he will be disposed of directly."
Mother Ge was shocked and realized that the old lady had murderous intentions towards the young lady.
“Old madam, if it’s the Cui family…”
"There is a message from above that the Cui family must die. Do you think they will come back alive? They can't leave Beizhou at all. Our emperor will not allow these people to return to the capital alive. What are you afraid of?"
“But Nanchen…”
The old lady snorted coldly: "We forced Nan Chen to marry the daughter of the Cui family in the first place. He sacrificed his own interests for the sake of the family. Do you think he would care about Cui Qingci?"
“Nan Chen has a stubborn temper and hates the family forcing him. Before, it was just for the sake of appearance for our Pei family.”
“Besides, since he’s not in the house, I still have the final say in everything.”
“Men, I still like to be gentle and carefree, no matter how noble I am.”
"How much is a man's affection worth? The old man fought to the death for a woman from outside, which caused unrest in the house, but in the end he didn't even bother to look at that person."
Speaking of this, I have to say that the old lady is very capable.
Actually, Grandma Ge knows that the young lady has a strong character and a character that would rather break than bend, which is unmatched by others.
“That old lady…”
“Go to Zhuangzi to find things and give them to her soon.”
The old lady had murderous intentions. She wanted to kill the young lady.
…
It was already dawn when Jiang Zhiluo woke up.
She was in a trance as she thought about the scene in her dream.
So this is Cui Qingci’s experience, and what is Pei’s house like?
That old lady is really cruel, but she is kind.
But Jiang Zhiluo felt that with such an old lady in charge, there would be no peace in the Pei Mansion.
Could it be that the old lady had someone inject the poison on Cui Qingci?
But the old lady clearly said that the superiors want Cui Qingci to die. Who is the person above?
Is there still someone who wants to kill the Cui family and not want the Cui family to live?
Is it the emperor or the powerful people around the emperor?
Just when Jiang Zhiluo was sitting in a trance, Cui Hejin came into the room and saw that she was awake, and said, "What's wrong?"
Cui Hejin saw that she was worried.
Jiang Zhiluo turned her head slightly and met Cui Hejin's dark and picturesque eyes.
He was looking at her gently and intently, with a worried look in his eyes.
Jiang Zhiluo couldn't help but think of Cui Qingci. It turned out that Cui Qingci was so beautiful when she was not injured. Sure enough, the Cui family members were all good-looking.
Jiang Zhiluo shook her head and said, "It's nothing. How is my sister?"
Cui Hejin said: "Mom said it's okay. My second sister slept peacefully last night."
Jiang Zhiluo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The medicine she drank worked. She may not have had a good sleep for a long time." Originally, Jiang Zhiluo didn't have much affection for Cui Qingci. At most, she thought she was familiar with Mrs. Cui and brought her back. .
She knew she was Cui Hejin's sister, naturally because of Mrs. Cui and Cui Hejin. She wanted to cure and take care of Cui Qingci.
But thinking of the scene in the dream, guessing what Cui Qingci might have experienced in the Pei family, and thinking of the poison on her body, Jiang Zhiluo couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
Jiang Zhiluo got down from the bed and said, "I'll go over and take a look first."
Speaking, Jiang Zhiluo went to Mrs. Cui's house first.
Mrs. Cui is standing next to Cui Qingci, holding a wet towel in her hand to wipe the traces on Cui Qingci's face.
She also helped change Cui Qingci's clothes last night.
Mrs. Cui’s eyes were swollen from crying when she thought of the scars on her daughter’s body.
How could she not hate in her heart that the porcelain they were protecting in their hands had suffered like this.
“Zhiluo!”
Mrs. Cui's voice became hoarse every time she opened her mouth.
She also felt unnatural in front of Jiang Zhiluo.
She quickly wiped the corners of her eyes.
Jiang Zhiluo didn't ask any more questions because she was afraid that Mrs. Cui would be embarrassed.
She took Cui Qingci's pulse, checked her body, and changed her medicine.
Then use the wood ability for acupuncture.
"Mom, don't worry, it's okay for now. After breakfast, I'll make some medicine for her."
“Okay, Hejin made breakfast and heated it in a pot. Let’s eat together.”
After breakfast, Cui Hejin was worried about his sister and wanted to go to school to ask for leave.
Jiang Zhiluo said: "Don't worry, my mother and I are at home, and my second sister will be fine."
Jiang Zhiluo said it was okay, and Cui Hejin felt relieved.
After breakfast, Jiang Zhiluo boiled medicine and gave it to Cui Qingci to drink. Mrs. Cui stayed by the bed to take care of her.
Jiang Zhiluo continued to be busy making soap.
Yesterday, the shell powder forged from plant ash water and mugwort water were stirred and left to stand there.
It has been overnight. Add some plant ash water, that is, lye water, heat the lard, and pour it in.
Then stir, that is, perform the saponification process.
Jiang Zhiluo patiently kept stirring.
Thinking about things while stirring her.
Including the money given by the Jian family and Wei Xingye for treating people before, plus what she earned before, excluding expenses, she now has more than seventy taels of silver.
This amount of silver seems to be enough, but if Cui Qingci is added, it may not be enough.
Cui Qingci's injuries were serious.
She has to buy medicinal materials again and collect precious medicinal materials to nourish her body.
She must be well cared for. Use good medicinal materials to raise her. After a year or two, she will be completely healed.
But these all require silver.
At the moment, her small business of bread and chili con carne is not going to work at all.
What's more, no one knows if there are other people in the Cui family who need her to save.
She owed Cui Hejin in the last life, and she must protect him and the people he cares about in this life.
So the premise of all this is that she must be capable.
Thinking of what Mrs. Pei said, she looked a little solemn.
When I was thinking about things, the contents in the basin had been stirred into a paste.
Then Jiang Zhiluo scooped all the paste into bamboo tubes.
Because I made a lot, I installed nine bamboo tubes at once.
