What else the mother-in-law wanted to say, Mrs. Cai immediately said: "Mom, you have watched me grow up, and you have always helped take care of my children. Do you want to watch our mother-in-law being raped by our master?"
Is that unreasonable loyalty going to die here?"
The mother-in-law subconsciously wanted to say that the master is not the kind of person who doesn't know how to adapt, but Mrs. Cai still couldn't listen to her words and had already hurried to the house to move the ledgers.
The mother-in-law thought about it and was a little undecided for a while.
Mrs. Cai's voice came from inside, "Brother Nanny, follow Dalang and go first. We can stay later."
After hearing this, the mother-in-law did not hesitate anymore.
The matter doesn't happen to her, so she doesn't feel it so obviously, but now when it comes to her son, the mother-in-law doesn't care so much anymore, she has to send her son away first.
Of course, on the bright side, Mrs. Cai did not dare to go too far against Magistrate Cai's words, so that afternoon she went to the hospital with her servants.
Xie Qionghua just glanced at her and said casually: "Why are you here again, Madam?"
"I was coming over in the morning, but I was caught up in some matters at the palace. I finished all the matters this morning, and then I brought the people over to help the princess."
The smile on Mrs. Cai's face was a bit flattering and petty, but Xie Qionghua didn't even look at it. He responded casually and let Cuiliu make arrangements.
As a result, Cuiliu took Mrs. Cai directly to the backyard to cut gauze.
As for the people in the Cai Mansion, everyone has made arrangements.
Mrs. Cai has been pampered since she was a child. After she got married, no one in the Cai family dared to embarrass her. These tasks at hand have not been done for who knows how long.
I feel a little uncomfortable at the moment.
But with so many people around here staring at her, and what she said in front of Xie Qionghua just now was so nice, she couldn't give up.
Others in the medical clinic couldn't help but feel surprised when they saw the prefect's wife taking action herself, and at the same time they also concluded that she was just doing it to show off.
Then the bold one quickly brought a few more pieces of gauze from the warehouse and said, "Madam, you came just in time. We are so busy these days that even the princess doesn't have a moment to rest, but she still...
We are so busy, but now that we have my wife, everyone can breathe a little easier."
Mrs. Cai looked at the woman in coarse cloth, her eyes couldn't help but fall on her rough face, and she felt very uncomfortable.
This person is not as decent as her own servant girl, and now she is actually working with such a person.
At this time, she couldn't say anything, she could only try to avoid contact with the other person and get too close to other people.
Even though he was very careful not to show his emotions too obviously, there were so many pairs of eyes staring around him, and there were always bright eyes that could tell.
In the current situation, even the princess came to do the work without complaining or putting on any airs.
In the final analysis, Mrs. Cai is just a fourth-grade imperial concubine. How can she be more noble than a princess?
Because Xie Qionghua was there for comparison, everyone in the medical clinic who usually didn't dare to take a second look at such Madam Gaoming felt a little dissatisfied.
The person who was originally responsible for boiling and drying the cut gauze also became faster. Later, Mrs. Cai had just finished cutting it and was taken away to be cooked.
It became a bit busy for a while, but whenever the women came to collect it, they found that there were only a few pieces in total, so they stood aside and waited with a smile.
"The first day Madam came here, she was inevitably a little unskilled. The more you practice, the better it will be. These gauze will be taken to the front line to be brought to the military doctors. Don't be afraid of too much, but be afraid of not being enough.
Mr. Cai has always loved the people like his son, and he values the soldiers at the border even more. I never thought that my wife would be so respected and willing to condescend to do such a thing. The young ladies are really touched."
Mrs. Cai repeated the cutting action, feeling that the skin at the tiger's mouth where it came into contact with the scissors was about to be broken.
She couldn't take a break when these people were talking to her like this, otherwise it would be as if she didn't want to practice more just to feel like she was getting faster.
After spending most of the day like this, when I got home, I saw blisters on my hands.
When he returned, he complained to Magistrate Cai.
Unexpectedly, Magistrate Cai didn't pay any attention to this. Instead, he asked eagerly: "Have you got any news from the princess?"
At this question, Mrs. Cai suddenly remembered that she was so busy with all the work that she had forgotten to ask this question.
I was angry and annoyed for a while, "There are so many things to do in the medical clinic, how can I have the time to ask, that is, I met once when I went there, but I didn't see you at all later, let alone
Ask her about it.",
Hearing this, Magistrate Cai nodded lightly and said, "I have long heard that the princess has been busy in the city during this period. I think she is also worried about the soldiers on the front line. You can learn more from the princess. Since she is still here, there should be no big problem."
Mrs. Cai frowned when she heard this, "I...I still have to go?"
"That's natural!" Magistrate Cai said immediately, "This matter is beneficial to the current war situation. Even the princess goes there every day, what reason do you have for not going?"
Mrs. Cai wanted to say that she couldn't bear it anymore, but she was not that ignorant woman. She knew that she really had no reason to shirk at the moment, so she could only grit her teeth and accept it.
Xie Qionghua, who returned to the palace, was so tired that he almost collapsed.
However, she had been there for many days. When she first came back from standing all day, she felt that her legs were no longer hers. After a few days of adapting, except for some soreness in her calf muscles, she felt much better.
The maid in the room was kneading the muscles of her calf for her, and she took advantage of the opportunity to talk to Xie Songhua about the prefect's wife.
"At first glance, he looks lazy and has a calculating look on his face. I really don't like this kind of person. Since she wants to get in touch, let her get in touch with her as much as she can and wait and see if she comes tomorrow.
These days, I have heard a lot about her outside. She is not a wealthy family, so she has such a coquettish temperament. It is really ridiculous."
Xie Songhua was changing a prescription. After he finished writing the last medicine and took the prescription aside to dry, he said warmly: "It has nothing to do with her origin. In Datong, she is the first lady of this place.
Magistrate Cai has been the magistrate in Datong for more than ten years, and she has stayed here for more than ten years, and has long been accustomed to this status.
Not to mention it’s me, I’m afraid even if there’s a princess, she might not take it seriously.”
Xie Qionghua curled his lips, "Your status is no worse than that of a princess!"
Xie Songhua just smiled and did not answer her question, but thought of another thing, "But you have to do something for me.
If Mrs. Cai is just more arrogant and narrow-minded, it would not be a big deal. I am afraid that she will be too smart and cause some trouble. She happens to be going to the hospital these days, so you should keep an eye on her.
The people on my side, and even the people in the Cai Mansion, may have an impression, so it would be better if you pay attention over there."
Xie Qionghua frowned and thought for a while, then said in surprise: "Are you afraid of her..."
Before he finished speaking, Xie Songhua smiled softly and nodded, "Don't say it out loud. From what Baiyue and the others said, it seems that Magistrate Cai is quite competent, and his wife may not be like that."
Can't figure things out clearly.
If she doesn't have that kind of thought, then I have a villainous heart, and I'm afraid it won't look good on everyone if she makes a fuss."
Xie Qionghua curled his lips, "Am I such an unreliable person? Since you said so, I naturally know how to deal with it."
