Chapter 47 Problematic Pastries
This was the first time Madam Wu saw Li Man'er taking pulses, which was indeed quite novel. She could not imagine that the person in front of her had delicate eyebrows and eyes, quiet and steady eyebrows and eyes, was Li Man'er, but she clearly saw Ning Ruying's shadow in Li Man'er.
It is said that she gave birth to a daughter, but Li Man'er belonged to Xiao'er's mother. She used to think that she looked six or seventy percent like Ning Ruying. Now, she looks very similar to the old Marquis's wife.
"How is it?" Cui's urging voice brought Madam Wu's thoughts back to reality.
"Grandma, I suspect Aunt Fourth is not a simple matter this time."
Cui frowned, "Are you reading it wrong?" The party at fault was her beloved young son. Of course, she hoped that big things would turn into small things and small things would not cause any trouble.
"No." In order to verify her words, Li Man'er immediately turned her head and asked Madam Xue, "Did Aunt Fourth eat anything outside today?"
Madam Xue was very surprised and then calmed down, "Yes, the Fourth Master brought a box of pastries for her wife. The wife didn't like sweet food at first, but for the sake of the Fourth Master's wish, she used two pieces."
“Where are pastries, are there any more?”
Madam Xue shook her head, "The pastry box is very small, it only contains five pieces in total. The wife used two pieces, and the rest of the three pieces were used by the Fourth Master."
Cui said impatiently: "The fourth son of Laozi also ate that snack. He wouldn't have harmed himself, right?"
"Grandma, you misunderstood. I didn't doubt my fourth uncle. He and Aunt Fourth have a deep relationship, so how could he harm my own children? I doubt that there was something wrong with that little bitch, but the evidence was gone."
"But the fourth brother also ate it, so it's okay. What's the problem with the snacks?"
Li Man'er said patiently: "Uncle Fourth is a man, and it's okay to take medicine to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, but Aunt Fourth is a pregnant woman, so she can't touch those things."
"You said it was a pastry that was mixed with something that could make your fourth aunt slip?"
Li Man'er nodded, "Fortunately, Aunt Fourth doesn't like sweets, so it's useless. I just should ask Uncle Fourth where the snacks come from."
She had actually guessed that it was probably done by the brothel woman.
Cui naturally could think of things that Li Man'er could think of.
"Man'er, if you ask you to treat your fourth aunt, how confident are you?"
Li Man'er only said: "This is not a difficult thing. Burning wormwood has already had its effect, it depends on the doctor's prescription."
Didn’t the doctor really notice that Tian had eaten something he shouldn’t have eaten? Not necessarily!
It is difficult to explain the gratitude and grudges of wealthy families. Based on the principle that it is better to have less than more things, doctors may choose to conceal the truth and turn big things into small things. As long as the prescription is correct, it is enough to keep all the adults and children, which is also to protect themselves.
If he is too honest, that is a great thing. Maybe he will offend the drugged person, and maybe he will be killed.
Therefore, as long as the doctor's prescription is right, it will definitely be fine for Tian's fetus. I am afraid that this doctor is really not good at learning skills and harming others and oneself.
Cui was also a personal talent and immediately understood what Li Man'er meant.
"Okay, it's all midnight, let's go back and rest!" This is to try to get rid of someone, so I can go and interrogate the Fourth Master's rhythm.
Li Man'er quickly blessed her health, "I hope my grandmother will take care of her health. Aunt Fourth is a lucky person and will definitely be able to pass this level safely."
Xue's eyes flashed with a complex look after listening to Li Man'er's words in the inner room.
It is said that Miss Li, a chaotic girl in the Marquis's house, is domineering, arrogant and vulgar. She used to be like those people, thinking that Li Man'er was like a shrew in the city. Now it seems that she is also a stupid person. It is only now that she understands what kind of person the girl is.
As soon as Li Man'er left, Guo also followed him.
Cui hurried to the outside room and found Li En.
Cui asked what happened to that snack. Li En was guilty and dared not respond. He stammered for a long time without saying anything.
"Is that brothel woman made it?" Cui had guessed the truth long ago. She just wanted to give her younger son a little face in front of others.
The Fourth Master nodded, "Nothing can be hidden from my mother. Li Niang is good at craftsmanship, so she can please Yanyan."
"Damn it!" Cui shouted, "Kneel down!"
Li En dared not refute, raised his robe and knelt down.
"You made mistakes today, it's so stupid. Where is the Chu Pavilion in the brothel? The men of my Li family either fight on the battlefield to serve the king and the country; or read and be wise, govern the country and maintain peace. Look at your brothers, and then look at you!"
Li En dared not refute, so he could only whisper: "Whatever Li Man'er said? The snack was made by Li Niang, and I ate it too, why is it okay? It was obviously Tian's jealousy, so he got angry."
"You still say!" Cui's face darkened, "Fourth, I warn you to stay away from the women in the kilns in the future. If you are obedient, you will be an inappropriate juren, and the Marquis's Mansion can guarantee you wealth and glory for the rest of your life. Whether you make friends outside or visit a garden, I can ignore you. But if you dare to take the brothel woman as a concubine, be careful that I will let her disappear in this world forever."
When Li En heard this, his face changed, "Mom, how can you do this?"
"I'm not for your own good. Your sister entered the palace at the age of fifteen, working every step in the palace, working hard. Who did she enter the palace for? You're so good, she's causing trouble outside and never considers the feelings of others. Have you ever thought about how many pairs of eyes are staring at our house? If the censor discovers your affairs, your elder brother and your sister will have to follow you to eat melons!" Cui was so angry that he was breathing heavily, and his slightly turbid eyes were actually showing his fierce light.
When Madam Xue in the room heard this, she couldn't help but sighed secretly. The old lady was very smart and extremely smart, so why did she give birth to the Fourth Master like this confused?
"If your wife has a good wife, you can get out of the Li family and become a monk." Cui criticized him for a long time before he stood up, holding Madam Wang's arm and said, "You go to the ancestral tablet to repent. When will Yanyan wake up, get out again."
Li En was unhappy and had to go.
Fortunately, Tian woke up the next day. Although his body was weak, his stomach no longer hurt and the child was saved.
The doctor prescribed the right prescription, which shows that Li Man'er expected was not bad, and the doctor just saw through it and didn't say it out loud.
Everyone in the Hou Mansion looked at Li Man'er with admiration, but Li En didn't think so.
How could she, a little girl, understand the medicine for treating women? Maybe it was just a blind cat who met a dead mouse. Besides, the doctor didn't say anything about something in his heart. They were clearly framed, and their main purpose was to frame Li Niang.
This statement soon spread to Qingpingxuan and was found out by Li Man'er.
