I was a housekeeper in ancient times

No one knew what she was thinking, but she took out a handkerchief, picked up the remaining medicinal herb crumbs on the ground, and wrapped them up with the handkerchief.

Sister Huan looked at her in confusion.

She looked thoughtful. "If there is medicine, then one of them is sick. But it is normal to take medicine when you are sick. Why is Yinxiang hiding it? What does this mean?"

Sister Huan didn't understand, "What does that mean?"

"It means that the disease they have is shameful. Think about it, what disease is shameful?"

"Tuberculosis? Hysteria?"

She shook her head. She shouldn't make any assumptions until she understood the situation.

At dawn, she heard Xiaohan say that Huang Niang knew a little about herbal medicine, so she took her handkerchief and went to ask.

When I arrived at the big kitchen, I saw a bunch of people busying around. I looked around, but Mrs. Huang was the only one missing.

Feng Li’s wife said that Mrs. Huang had taken a leave and was still at home.

She grabbed a handful of fried peanuts and ate them while chewing them, asking, "Isn't Miss Huang sick too?"

Feng Li's wife kneaded the dough on the white board and said, "I don't know, but she seemed fine yesterday. Maybe something happened at home?"

After asking Mrs. Huang where her home was, she went out to look for it, and it was not far away.

Because Chef Huang signed a living contract, so did Mrs. Huang, so the father and daughter did not live in the mansion, but settled outside. However, since Mrs. Huang got married, Chef Huang lived in the mansion in order not to disturb his daughter and son-in-law.

Now, Mrs. Huang and her husband live in the Huang family.

After walking around for half a quarter of an hour, he stopped in front of a slightly narrow house. He knocked on the door but no one answered, but there was a noise coming from inside.

She walked in carefully and met a man with a cane. He looked to be in his early thirties, thin, pale, and looked gentle and refined, like a scholar.

No matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like someone who would hit anyone.

I heard from the old women that Mrs. Huang was often beaten by the men in her family and her body was covered with wounds.

She thought he was a big and strong man, but she didn't expect him to be so gentle.

Although one cannot judge a book by its cover, she still found it difficult to connect the domestic violence perpetrator with the weak man in front of her.

The most important thing is that this man has difficulty walking and looks weak, how can he...

"Lin, Mother Lin, why are you here?" The man also recognized her.

"Uh, I'm here to look for Miss Huang. She's not at home?"

"She went out to buy something and will be back soon. Please take a seat, Mom."

"Hey, good."

She saw that the man was kind and easy to talk to, and wondered why he could be a domestic abuser? Or maybe we should not judge people by appearance alone. Some people look innocent, but they are always cruel.

Seeing that the man was still making tea, she hurriedly said, "Don't bother, I just came to ask Miss Huang something."

The man smiled and continued to make tea for her.

But the man didn't seem to do this often and was a bit inexperienced. He was busy looking for a teapot and boiling water. While he was busy, Mrs. Huang had already returned with a basket and several bundles of herbs.

"Mom, why are you here?" Mrs. Huang was also quite surprised.

"I came to see you for something." She saw an obvious pinch mark on Huang Niangzi's neck and her heart skipped a beat.

Mrs. Huang put away her things and greeted her, and the man went back to the house on his own.

She unfolded the handkerchief and let Mrs. Huang see what the herbs were and what they could be used to treat.

The act of burning incense last night was indeed suspicious.

Huang Niangzi checked it repeatedly, smelled it again, and her face became serious. She asked in a low voice: "Where did you get these herbs from, mother?"

She sensed something was wrong, "What?"

"In the mansion?"

"Yes. What medicine is this?"

"These medicines all have the effect of inducing miscarriage."

"Miscarriage? Is this an abortion drug?"

She suddenly remembered that day when Jiaer said she saw a man's belt in Aunt Lian's room.

And now, the people in Green Bamboo Residence want to have an abortion.

Is it Yinxiang or Aunt Lian?

If it was Yinxiang, she was only in her teens and followed Aunt Lian every day, so how could she have time to meet her lover in secret? The most likely possibility is...

She put away the handkerchief and asked Mrs. Huang to keep the matter secret.

Mrs. Huang was a smart person. She didn't ask any more questions and was determined to keep her mouth shut.

She hurried back to the Bo's house and ran into Xiaohan. She told Xiaohan to go to the big kitchen and get some snacks. "It doesn't matter what you have. Just take whatever you have."

Xiaohan agreed and quickly brought some snacks, "Mom, who is this for? Madam or the third and seventh girls?"

"Neither. Go ahead and get busy. If anyone asks, just say I'm busy."

"Yes."

She took the snacks and went to Green Bamboo Residence alone.

As he walked, he was thinking, if Aunt Lian really wanted to have an abortion, how should this matter be handled?

Don't you know? This won't work. Aunt Lian is a member of the first house and Lu Yuxuan's concubine.

She was not sure whether the medicine Yinxiang bought would work. What if there was something wrong with the medicine, or if Aunt Lian was weak and had a heavy bleeding, her life could be in danger.

If this matter were to get out, a family like the Lu family would definitely not leave Madam Lian and her servants alive. Even Yu Muyan would probably be branded as a poor manager of the rear house.

Madam Lu and the second wife will definitely make a big fuss about this matter and use it to suppress the first wife.

Therefore, she had to handle this matter before it happened and ensure that it would not be leaked at all.

When she arrived at the door of Green Bamboo Residence, she calmed herself down and prayed silently that there was still room for recovery.

She went straight in, "Aunt Lian?"

This shout scared Aunt Lian and her servants in the room so much that they packed their things in panic.

Yinxiang was the first to step forward to greet her, "Lin, Mother Lin, why are you here?"

She smiled and said, "The kitchen has just made some snacks. I brought them to my aunt to try. Aunt, why don't you come out for a walk? You always stay in this room. You will get sick even if you are not sick."

She placed the snacks on the table and observed Aunt Lian calmly. She saw that Aunt Lian was no different from last time and could still move around as usual, and did not seem to be feeling unwell.

Fortunately, I haven’t taken the abortion medicine yet.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Aunt, you don't blame me for coming over so suddenly, right?"

Aunt Lian was visibly panicked, saying, "How could that be? Mom is just busy with her daily life, how could I be worthy of Mom's worry."

"What do you mean, Aunt? With the uncle gone, there are only the madam and the aunt left in the main house, as well as three sisters. A house full of women is easy to be looked down upon. If we don't unite, outsiders will probably laugh at us."

"I come from a poor family, so I am not worthy to be compared with the ladies."

She pretended to chat about family matters, talking about the Bo Mansion, and regardless of whether Aunt Lian was happy to listen or not, she kept talking, and finally got to the point: "Alas, I think Aunt is not much different from my eldest sister, but she is not as lucky as Aunt."
