The Doctor's Concubine: Don't mess with the evil princess

"What do you mean? Aunt Liu, you have an unshirkable responsibility for Fourth Sister's condition!" Mu Lanfeng said bluntly.

Aunt Liu didn't dare to look into Mu Lanfeng's eyes. She could only turn her head to the side and asked weakly, "What is my responsibility?"

Mu Lanfeng shook her head helplessly, "Aunt Liu, it was Fourth Sister's idea to have you come here to make trouble, right?"

"How did you know?" Aunt Liu blurted out, then immediately changed her words and said, "No, it's because I, as your aunt, felt sorry for you that I came to make trouble with you!"

"Aunt Liu, you know best whether it is true or not. Fourth sister is not a bad person by nature. You know better than me why she became like this!" Mu Lanfeng hit the nail on the head and hit Aunt Liu's sore spot.

Aunt Liu was silent for a while, and almost cried, "Hong Liao forced me to come here, and even asked me to tell the master. I couldn't stand her making trouble anymore!"

Mu Lanfeng felt really sorry for Mu Hongliao. Women are weak by nature, but they are strong as mothers. When a mother sees her children being hurt, her first reaction is to protect them. Even someone as vicious as Jiang would immediately stand in front of Mu Baiying when she encountered something that harmed Mu Baiying. But this concubine Liu seemed to be a bit different...

"What Aunt Liu means is that you came to my place just to go through the motions, right? Now that you've made enough trouble, you can go back and report to Fourth Sister!" Mu Lanfeng didn't want to say anything more and directly ordered her to leave.

"You...you're just going to let it go after beating Hong Liao? Her face is so swollen that it looks like nothing!" Aunt Liu asked timidly.

Mu Hongliao thought she could see through other people's minds at a glance, but she couldn't see through this Aunt Liu at all and had no idea what the point was that she wanted to express!

"So what do you want? Why not just say it directly!" Mu Hongliao didn't want to beat around the bush and asked directly.

Aunt Liu looked up at Mu Lanfeng, feeling quite embarrassed. She stammered for a long time before she stammered, "At least give me some money to buy medicine..."

Mu Lanfeng didn't expect that after all this time, she wanted money!

In order to get rid of Aunt Liu, Mu Lanfeng agreed immediately, "Okay, wait, I'll have someone get it for you!"

At this time, Bi Qing came out of the house with something in her hand. She heard every word of the conversation between Aunt Liu and Mu Lanfeng. Mu Lanfeng took her medical bag and said to Bi Qing, "Get some money for Aunt Liu!"

Bi Qing nodded, looked at Aunt Liu, and replied with a polite smile: "Please wait a moment, I'll go get it!"

Mu Lanfeng shook her head helplessly and continued to walk into the house. Bi Qing quickly followed and whispered, "Young lady, Madam Liu has had a hard time these years. Madam always oppresses her. Her monthly salary is not even as much as that of a first-class maid. The master hardly visits her. Giving birth to the fourth young lady is as good as not giving birth at all. It's polite of you not to order her around!"

"I understand!" Mu Lanfeng replied expressionlessly.

She knew that Mu Hongliao had offended Jiang and could not go back to Jiang's place now.

"That's their own business. What does it have to do with me? When I'm in trouble, she may not help me! You also saw Feiyan still lying on the bed. Who should Feiyan go to for justice?" Mu Lanfeng was dissatisfied with Biqing's saintly heart and said with an unhappy face.

"She is just a poor person, young lady. I am not speaking for her! I am just telling the truth!" Bi Qing completely ignored Mu Lanfeng's displeasure and continued to defend herself.

"There must be something hateful about pitiful people! Do you know that?" Mu Lanfeng asked back with a blank expression.

"I understand!" Biqing stopped arguing.

"Give her fifty taels!" Mu Lanfeng finally gave in.

Bi Qing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I know!"

……

After this incident, Mu Hongliao was quiet for a few days. It was said that her face was swollen beyond recognition and she was too embarrassed to go out to see people. She would only take out her anger on Aunt Liu all day long. After listening to the servants' gossip, Mu Hongliao had nightmares every night, dreaming that someone wanted to kill her...

Jiang was busy preparing a dowry for Mu Baiying, but there was no news from King Cheng after he returned. It was unknown if something had happened.

For this purpose, Jiang made a special trip to the palace to ask the Queen Mother for information.

Ever since Queen Mother Jiang recovered from her illness, she seemed to have aged a lot and was always very sleepy. Sometimes, she could sleep for several hours in broad daylight.

When Jiang entered the palace that day, the empress dowager was resting. The palace maids did not dare to disturb her and did not inform her. Jiang was turned away and returned home in disappointment.

Mu Xun also tried to inquire indirectly, but all the information was useless.

Although Li Zeqi moved to the Mu Mansion, saying that it was to cultivate feelings, he was not seen for nine out of ten days.

Tingyu Pavilion was guarded so tightly by Li Zeqi's guards that even a fly could hardly fly in!

This was exactly what Mu Lanfeng wanted, as she didn't want to face Li Zeqi all day long.

On this day, Eunuch Xia, who had not been seen for a long time, appeared in the Mu Mansion. Everyone was surprised. Wasn’t Prince Yan already in the mansion? Why did he come?

Just when everyone was puzzled, Eunuch Xia spoke slowly, "We are not here to read the imperial edict this time, we are here to see Madam Mu!"

Jiang's expression changed slightly, but she still smiled and stepped forward to ask, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Ahem!" Eunuch Xia had a smile on his face, but it was unclear what he was thinking. He changed his usual arrogant and rude attitude and said with a little sadness: "The Queen Mother is seriously ill, and she misses you very much. Let you stay in the palace for a few days to relieve her fatigue!"

"This……"

Jiang was puzzled because in the past the empress dowager always asked eunuch Liu to come when she had something to do, so why did she ask eunuch Xia, who was by the emperor's side, to come this time?

Eunuch Xia seemed to see Jiang's confusion, and hurriedly explained with a smile: "Eunuch Liu accidentally fell a few days ago and broke his leg. We can only run a trip for him and visit His Royal Highness Prince Yan by the way!"

Jiang suddenly realized that the purpose of coming here to see Prince Yan was and she was just a by-product!

But this doesn't affect anything. As long as he doesn't cause trouble for her, Jiang will be thankful.

"Thank you for the trip, eunuch!" Jiang said with a smile.

"Madam Mu, don't be polite, pack up quickly! Come with me to the palace in the afternoon! I'll go see His Highness first!" Eunuch Xia said as he walked out.

The people in the Mu Mansion already knew the temper of Eunuch Xia very well. If he didn't allow anyone to follow, no one would dare to follow, not even Mu Xun!

Jiang was worried about not being able to get any news at the moment, but now it was possible for her to go see the empress dowager.

In her joy, she actually ignored what Eunuch Xia said about the Queen Mother being seriously ill. By the time she realized what was happening, Eunuch Xia had already walked away.

Mu Xun and his wife were immediately at a loss, so they had to pack up in a hurry and go to the palace to take a look...
