The stand-in didn't take it seriously for three years, and the minister was furious when they b

The biggest secret of the Marquis' Mansion cannot be leaked by her.

Thinking of the old lady's way of doing things, Aunt Kang broke out in sweat, and her first reaction was to go back and ask for another bowl.

The moment she turned around, her eyes swept across the bright red in her hand and fell on the green grass under her feet, but she suddenly stopped.

No.

The amount in this bowl was calculated by the doctor in advance. Although the old lady didn't like that woman, she couldn't get into trouble now.

A flash of inspiration came to her, and she slammed her forehead:

"It's really confusing."

This blood is not really used to save lives and you won’t drink it, so what does it matter what kind of blood it is?

It's just a formality, why is she worried?

Glancing around out of the corner of her eye, Nanny Kang secretly thanked her luck that she had sent the maid away early. The blood was spilled on the grass, so she didn't even need to deal with it specially and it wouldn't attract much attention.

Turning around, she also walked towards the kitchen.

She deliberately avoided people along the way, and even went into the kitchen with empty hands and hid the bowl outside. She found an excuse to have someone kill a chicken and take its blood, and then came out to swap it.

……

In the old lady's room at Fudeyuan, Mu Lianzhi was helped in from outside the door, shouting loudly and half stumbling:

"Mother~"

After turning through the screen, she ran straight to the bedside, looking weak, anxious, and concerned:

"I heard that mother had a relapse and was convulsing and vomiting. How is she now?"

Her sudden action really caught the doctor and the lady sitting next to her off guard. They were so scared that they broke out in cold sweats and stood up in panic. Neither of them could hide the panic on their faces.

For no other reason, three of the four people in the room knew the inside story.

Except for the little maid who was washing handkerchiefs and doing odd jobs, she was really working seriously. The old lady had her eyes open just a moment ago, and the two of them were either waving to her or talking to her secretly.

If there hadn't been a noise outside the door, he would have almost been exposed.

The two looked at each other, both nervous and surprised.

Surprisingly, how did she come here when the person who got the medicine hadn't come back yet? After all, it was to take blood, and people who lost blood would inevitably be weak. In the past, Mu Lianzhi didn't come here immediately. It was good if she didn't get sick for a few days or stay in bed for a few days. There were not many times when she could come to visit the patient every other day.

What's going on here?

At this time, the old lady was lying on the bed with her eyes closed and her heart beating fast. Except for her pale face, there was nothing unusual.

"Mother?"

After looking the person on the bed up and down with concern, Mu Lianzhi turned around and looked at Jiang, with a puzzled look in his eyes:

"Sister-in-law, didn't you say that mother was suffering from convulsions, vomiting and diarrhea? Is she asleep or is she seriously ill and fainted? Did she take the medicine? How effective is it?"

"Why is mother still wearing such tight clothes? How can it be easily cleaned?"

"It's so hot this day, don't get bedsores."

"Oh, right, isn't mother suffering from heart disease, so she wants my heart blood as a guide to nourish her body and consolidate the effect? ​​May I ask the court doctor why she is convulsing? Is it the vomiting and diarrhea caused by improper diet, or is it vomiting blood and blood in the stool?"

"My mother is old and has an old illness. Will it be okay if she goes through all this?"

Originally, the few people were doing their own job, and the plan was to make the illness sound more urgent and serious, not giving her too much time to react. Nanny Kang hadn't come back yet, and they didn't know that Mu Lianzhi had said this casually. They just thought that Nanny Kang had made it up. They looked at each other, and both of them were dumbfounded:

"here……"

Pulling the corners of their lips, the two exchanged glances, but neither knew how to answer this question because they were not sure what Grandma Kang had told her.

The eldest lady was about to curse her to death in her heart, so she coughed lightly and could only change the subject:

"Sister-in-law, it was an emergency, and it was Grandma Kang who took care of her. When we came here, Mother had just washed and changed her clothes. I can't really explain the details."

"Thanks to the palace doctor who gave my mother a few injections, the condition was temporarily suppressed."

"Why did you come here like this?"

Mu Lianzhi was wearing a simple solid-colored dress, which looked more like an undershirt, and a noticeably thicker black cape. Her hair was also obviously not combed or styled, as it was wrapped in a piece of black cloth on top of her head.

In a word, it is messy and rough, not suitable for meeting people.

In fact, what she wanted to ask more was, why did she come here?

Pulling at her cloak, Mu Lianzhi, still looking extremely weak, leaned towards Leng Yun who was supporting her:

"Forgive me, sister-in-law. I was really too worried about my mother. How could I care about my appearance?"

"Cough cough..."

"Madame Kang took my blood and left in a hurry. I didn't even have time to ask her any questions. But how can I feel at ease if I come to see her?"

"We can't let anything happen again in our mansion."

"By the way, where's Aunt Kang? I haven't seen her in such a long time since I came in."

When she said this, Jiang and the old lady who was pretending to be sick almost scolded Nanny Kang to death in their hearts, but Jiang did not dare to show it on her face. Just as she was about to say something, Nanny Kang came in with a little maid:

"Old Madam, Madam, congratulations..."

Holding the bowl, she strode in. Nanny Kang's tone was filled with joy. Just as she was about to say something, she looked up and made eye contact with Mu Lianzhi. She suddenly stopped in her tracks. Her expression changed instantly, and the word "good news" on her lips suddenly changed its tone:

"It's the old slave who's back."

"Madam Kang? Didn't you leave earlier? How come you're even later than me?"

Mu Lianzhi looked surprised. Jiang was so angry that she glared at him:

"What have you been doing?"

"Please forgive me, ladies. I was in a hurry on the way, so Qiuye went to get some candied fruit for you. I couldn't find anyone and I was worried about others, so I was delayed for a while."

Jiang rolled her eyes, and before she could say anything, Mu Lianzhi said:

"What are you still standing there for? Mother is waiting for blood to save her life! Palace doctor, hurry up, didn't you say the medicine has been prepared long ago?"

"By the way, can mother swallow now? Do we need to prepare a bamboo tube?"

"This is life-saving medicine. We can't waste even a minute. We have to give it to mother immediately no matter what!"

"Chun Miao, Leng Yun, why are you still supporting me?"

"How tactless! Go help the old lady!"

As soon as Mu Lianzhi made a move, everyone panicked, and in the end they were forced to make the fake play real.

The medicine soup had been prepared long ago. It was a daily tonic and naturally did not add blood normally. But this time, he was in a difficult situation. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he had no choice but to pour a big bowl of it.

Afraid that Mu Lianzhi would become suspicious or force the medicine down her throat, they pretended to let the old lady drink it.

Soon, the old lady opened her eyes.

"Mom, I'm glad you woke up."

"Yes, thank God, my daughter-in-law's blood was not wasted."

The old lady's mouth was full of stench, and she was so disgusted that she almost vomited on the spot. She waved her hands without saying a word, and suddenly her face turned red and her whole body twitched.
