Early the next morning, Li Man'er and others hurriedly left Yaowang Temple and returned to Beijing to take care of their family affairs without even having breakfast.
When they left, Miao Zhu came specially to see her off. He knew that Marquis Tiedan did not hold him accountable solely because of Li Man'er, so he felt a little more grateful to her. Although he was not willing to be Li Man'er's long-term follower.
, but a person cannot stand without trust, and he must do what he promises. He still has this kind of morality in the world.
After the Tiedan Hou family and the group left the Yaowang Temple, the young novice handed a heavy bag to Miao Zhu, "This was left by the female donor."
Miao Zhu opened the bag and took a look. There was about two hundred taels of silver inside, as well as a letter left by Li Man'er. He was not in a hurry to open it, so he just accepted it, feeling quite uneasy.
Besides, Li Man'er had been closing her eyes and concentrating on the way back. Both girls were quite worried, as if something big was going to happen.
The mountain rain is about to come and the wind fills the building.
"What are you thinking about?" Li Man'er slowly opened his eyes and saw the worried expressions of Zi Yan and Lu Yi.
Zi Yan only said: "Girl, how should we deal with it when we return home? I'm afraid it will be difficult for the old lady."
The Cui family protects the Guo family because Guo family is the biological mother of the crown prince. Once Guo family misbehaves, the crown prince Li Qingyun will also be questioned.
"This matter is not as complicated as you think. Do you think the Guo family can still be protected by so many people as before?"
In the past, the original owner was too unsatisfactory, and her irritability and domineering were the protective umbrella of the Guo family. No matter Cui or Li Shu, there was no need to quarrel with the Guo family over an unsatisfactory granddaughter (daughter). Both of them were
Turning a blind eye or closing one eye, Mrs. Cui might still be happy to see Mr. Guo deal with the original owner. After all, if she can dig out money, she will also get benefits.
But things are different now. She is so upbeat and has a prescription that can cure Concubine Shu's infertility. Mrs. Cui is not willing to fall out with her over an abandoned son!
Falling apart?
There is no need at all. Just announce to the outside world that Mr. Guo is seriously ill and cannot survive the illness.
Luyi breathed a sigh of relief, "The girl still has a way."
Zi Yan still feels uneasy. Even if the old lady doesn't say anything, what about the Guo family? Will the second girl and the prince let the eldest girl go?
Everything is still unknown.
Two hours later, the carriage finally stopped at the corner gate of the Hou Mansion.
The mother-in-law carried the sleeping Guo onto the green-topped sedan that had been prepared long ago, and was escorted all the way to Chaohui Hall.
At this time, the masters of various courtyards in the mansion also received news that Guo and others had returned.
Both the Bai family and the Tian family came over. Over at Songhe Hall, the Cui family sent Grandma Du over. The three aunts from the eldest house were also waiting in the yard, waiting for Li Zhaoer, the prince and Li Qingyu to come over.
, Mrs. Guo has already been carried into the house.
As for Guo Yongzhang, I don’t know where he was taken by Li Shu. Anyway, he didn’t see anyone.
"how so?"
Li Zhaoer's eyes turned red when she looked at Mr. Guo, who looked as usual and couldn't sleep, "Father, okay, why did mother become like this after just a trip to Yaowang Temple?"
Li Zhaoer looked past Li Shu and saw Li Maner behind him, "It's you, isn't it you?"
"Second sister, what does this mean? Why can't I understand it?"
Li Zhaoer stood up angrily, "It must be you who killed my mother."
"You have no evidence, second sister, please don't make false claims!" Li Man'er reached out and plucked the colorful jade earrings from her ears, "Mother-killing is a serious crime, I can't bear it."
Her nonchalant look made Li Zhaoer very angry. Without even thinking, the latter raised his hand and slapped Li Maner in the face.
Li Man'er grabbed Li Zhaoer's wrist, raised her eyebrows and said, "Why, in front of your father, do you dare to hit the eldest sister?"
Li Shu also said in a deep voice: "This is nonsense. Your mother is still ill. Are you venting your anger on your eldest sister?"
"Father, what happened to you? Why did you protect her?"
Li Man'er squeezed her wrist hard, and the pain made Li Zhaoer grin, "Are you still going to kill someone?"
"Second sister has become a little angry recently. My mother is ill, and I am also worried. But what's the point of you biting others like a mad dog? We have already sent someone to ask for a doctor. What is going on? Wait until the doctor comes.
knew."
Li Zhaoer struggled hard and pulled his wrist back from Li Maner's hand. Ruxue's skin turned red, stinging Li Zhaoer's eyes.
She knew that this matter must have something to do with Li Man'er. She knew more or less what her mother was going to do. Maybe Li Man'er discovered something and then attacked her mother.
She was the one who cured her father's poison and was praised by Imperial Physician Duan Xu. It would be too easy to do anything to her mother.
"My mother is sick, what about Aunt Yu? She never leaves her mother's side, why can't she see Aunt Yu?"
"Second sister, maybe you didn't pay attention. I saw Grandma Yu just now. She came back with us."
Li Zhaoer had some doubts. She did not see Grandma Yu, but Li Maner's look was so determined that she couldn't help but think about it.
"If you don't believe it, ask your father. See if Aunt Yu came back with us!"
Li Shu just nodded and said nothing.
Aunt Yu did come back with them, but like Mrs. Guo, she was not awake now.
Li Zhaoer nodded when she saw Li Shu, and she felt a little more at ease. Now she just hoped that the doctor would come soon.
"Master Hou, my husband is here."
"please come in."
The doctor entered the room carrying the medicine box. Seeing that there were too many people in the room, the doctor couldn't help but apologize.
"Master Marquis, can you please ask all the ladies to go to the side hall and wait. There are too many people in the room, which is not good for the patients."
Without waiting for Li Shu's instructions, Li Man'er was the first to say: "Then daughter, go outside and wait first."
Li Zhaoer could only stare at her back and worry. She couldn't leave, she had to listen to what the doctor said. If she wasn't here, her father would let the doctor talk nonsense in order to protect Li Maner.
Li Shu gave him a look, and everyone in the room filed out. Only Li Zhaoer was determined not to leave and wanted to listen.
Li Shu simply let her go, since he knew exactly what this girl was thinking.
The doctor checked Guo's pulse and rolled her eyelids. After a long time, he handed over his hand and said: "Master Hou, I'm not good at studying. I really can't tell what's wrong with my wife. Please hire someone else!"
can not tell!
Li Shu was stunned for a moment. Before he could ask any questions, Li Zhaoer stepped forward and said, "Doctor, my mother is poisoned? Is she poisoned?"
The doctor was surprised, "Why did you say that? Madam's pulse is strong and strong, and the color of her skin and lips are normal. Look at her face, it's rosy and shiny. How can this be poisoning?"
Li Zhaoer was furious, "Did you collude with them?"
