The Demon Queen of Divine Doctor is not to be trifled with

Chapter 76 Mother has another daughter

Ye Hongzhuang was hung up and beaten that night. Not only did she have whip marks on her body, but there were also wounds on her ankles caused by the rope.

Xiao felt sorry for her daughter, but when she thought about the weirdness of that night, especially the time when the old lady was struck by lightning before leaving, she didn't have the slightest thought of revenge in her heart, and even felt a little scared.

The imperial physician was stunned after seeing Ye Hongzhuang. "She was beaten so badly that she was almost dead, but the child is fine. This child is so lucky."

Ye Hongzhuang felt a little regretful. She had never wanted this child, and she was not happy to hear the imperial physician say this.

Xiao felt that the idea of a hard life was not very nice, and she immediately told the imperial physician, "This is all thanks to the Sixth Prince and the Queen Mother. The child knows that he misses his father and grandmother, so he is reluctant to leave."

The imperial physician said nothing more, took the reward and left.

Fu You, on the other hand, chased after the doctor and accompanied him to the gate of the First-Rank General's Mansion. He then lowered his voice and asked, "Can you tell whether the Third Miss is carrying a boy or a girl?"

The doctor nodded, "I'm afraid it's a girl."

"It's a girl!" Fu You was a little disappointed. The Sixth Prince might only have this one child. If it's a girl, wouldn't it mean there will be no descendants? The Queen Mother must be sad to hear that.

"It's hard to say now." The doctor added, "Whether it's a boy or a girl, we have to wait until the baby is born to know for sure."

"Yes." Fuyou nodded, "Then I'll trouble you, sir."

The doctor left, and Fu You walked all the way back to Tianwu Pavilion, unable to hide the disappointment on his face. Ye Hongzhuang got angry when she saw this, and asked with a cold snort: "What's the matter, the doctor said that I'm having a daughter this time? So you're unhappy?"

Fu You said coldly, "Whether it's a boy or a girl, we'll have to wait until the baby is born to find out, Miss Third, don't think too much."

Ye Hongzhuang rolled her eyes while lying on the couch. "Why should I think too much? Whether it's a boy or a girl depends entirely on the Sixth Prince's luck."

Fu You frowned as she listened, and wanted to argue with her, but then she thought better of it. She was only here to take care of the baby in her belly, not really to take care of Miss Ye San. As long as the baby was born, it would not matter to her whether Miss Ye San was dead or alive.

On the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, Ye Wenyan went to Qingliangyuan to treat Mu's body. Ye Qingmei happened to be there, so he removed the scar on her forehead.

Ye Qingmei watched her take out a cool ointment from a small jar, and applied it to the wound on her forehead for a short while. After wiping it off, not even a trace of it could be found. She couldn't help but be surprised and said, "So you really have such a magical medicine! Before, you said it could cure Hongzhuang's facial injury. I always thought you were deliberately trying to anger Second Aunt. I didn't expect such a medicine really existed."

She nodded, "Yes, it was secretly left to me by my grandfather, but there is only this small jar, it is very precious." Ye Qingmei said "hmm", "Grandfather was away fighting all year round, the things he gave must be the best. But Yan'er, you must keep this thing well, and don't let it fall into the hands of Second Aunt and others."

After hearing this, Madam Mu gave Ye Qingmei an approving look. Even Ye Wenyan couldn't help but say, "I thought my elder sister would persuade me to give some of this stuff to Ye Hongzhuang as well. After all, we are still family. If it's not good, I really won't treat her."

"Yan'er, you can't think of me like that." Ye Qingmei became serious. "I admit that I am weak and easily influenced. I also admit that when Second Aunt came to return the things that day, she pulled me aside and said a lot of good things. She repeatedly asked me to persuade you and mediate for her. But I didn't agree. I rejected her at that time. It's true that we are a family with Hongzhuang, but we know this truth, and they should know it too. They can do such things, which means they have never regarded us as relatives. Why should I speak for them? Besides, even if this didn't happen, I still have a choice between you and Hongzhuang. You are my biological sister, and she is just my cousin, that's all."

Ye Wenyan was very satisfied with her elder sister's attitude. Ye Qingmei, who had always been so weak that she couldn't tell the difference between inside and outside, finally had some brains after this series of events.

Mu nodded repeatedly, "You are right to think so. We are a family. Those who live in the East Courtyard are just robbers who robbed our yard. If you are as confused as Lian Mian, I will be very disappointed."

When Ye Lianmian was mentioned, everyone fell silent again. Ye Qingmei wanted to speak for Ye Lianmian several times, but in the end she just sighed.

Ye Lianmian was her biological sister, and even twins with her. She hoped that her sister could come back and stand with their family. Unfortunately, Ye Lianmian had not been close to them since she was a child. Even after what happened on the seventh night, she still resolutely chose to stay with the old lady. It was said that she had been living in Fuluyuan these days.

Madam Mu didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so she took the initiative to change the subject. She took Ye Wenyan's hand and asked her, "Does the director of the Imperial Observatory have a crush on you? I noticed that he has been interested in us these few times. Although he made it clear last time, if he wasn't interested in you, why would he always come here? Always on your side?"

Ye Qingmei was also very interested in this topic, and looked at her with gossipy eyes flashing.

Madam Mu also said, "Don't be embarrassed. The girl is old enough, and these are serious matters to be handled. If he really wants to do this, let's consider it and ask for someone to match his horoscope. I think that man is good. Although he is a little older, don't be afraid. Men know how to love others when they are older. Alas, you didn't listen to me before, and you were thinking about the Sixth Prince. Now you are willing to listen to me, but I think it's better to listen to you. So Yan'er, you have to make your own decision on this matter. If you say yes, mother will arrange it for you. If you say no, we will not see this person anymore."

Ye Wenyan was very embarrassed. She glanced at Nanny Ji and saw that the old lady had no intention of helping her out. She had to explain to her mother and sister dryly, "It's really not what you think. Yunchen doesn't like me, and I don't like him either. I have nothing to do with him. It's absolutely true."

Ye Qingmei was stunned. "Yan'er, don't scare me. Besides Yun Chen who came to our house to support you, the other one is Lian Shi from Yanhua Palace. But Lian Shi is a eunuch, you can't possibly..."

"Sister, what are you thinking!" She really felt that Ye Qingmei's imagination was a bit too big, "How old is Lian Shi?"

"Who is that?" Mu asked the key question, "It's not Yun Chen or Lian Shi, who is that?"

"Who...is that?" She looked up at the roof. Who was that?

Nanny Ji coughed twice and finally spoke: "Madam, Miss, our Fourth Miss is worthy of the best man in the world. She is a thousand times better than Lord Yun and Eunuch Lian. Even the current emperor cannot compare to her."

"Even His Majesty can't catch up? Then the only thing left is..." Ye Qingmei covered her mouth and looked at Ye Wenyan in disbelief, "Yan'er, could it be..."

"No one." She interrupted the topic firmly. "Don't guess. It's really no one. The reason they support me is because of my grandfather. My grandfather had asked them to take care of me. Yes, it was my grandfather."

Finally finding the reason, Ye Wenyan breathed a sigh of relief.

Madam Ji looked at her and shook her head helplessly. She also shook her head. Now was not the time to hand over Shi Liyuan. She had not yet settled down in this family. Even these close relatives might not really treat her as the former Fourth Miss Ye. She did not want to cause trouble or bring too much pressure to her family. Most importantly, she did not want the relatives she cared about to accept her because of Shi Liyuan, and she did not want Shi Liyuan's existence to create a sense of distance between her and her relatives.

"Mother." She held Mu's hand. "I am your daughter, and marriage is decided by you. If such a man appears one day, I will bring him to you and ask you to consider whether he is suitable, match his horoscope, and ask about his past. I will only marry you if you agree, okay?"

Madam Mu looked at the hands holding her, groping again and again, and only after a long while did she say to Ye Qingmei, "I'll talk to Yan'er. Go call your brother, and we'll make dumplings for ourselves later."

Ye Qingmei was very sensible and immediately left with her maid, including Nanny Ji and Zhuier. When all the servants had left the room and only the mother and daughter were left, Mu Shi began to carefully feel the pair of frighteningly white hands again.

"Your body has warmed up, but your complexion is still very pale. I don't find it scary, but I'm just worried that something might happen to you." She raised her eyes and looked at her daughter in front of her. "It would be great if my Yan'er could be as obedient as you."

She put her hand into Mu's palm again, "Mother, please feel my hand carefully, my flesh and bones, and feel if it is your biological child. This piece of flesh fell from your belly, and you raised her to this age, so she will always be your child. You did not lose a daughter, but gained another one. I will always be filial to you, close to you, and also close to my brothers and sisters. Our family is still our family, nothing has changed. Mother, will you feel better if you think this way?"

Mu took a deep breath, "Yes, nothing has changed. You are still the beautiful girl I gave birth to. You are my blood and my flesh." She, Mu Qianqiu, has never been a person who drags her feet. As long as she thinks it through and talks it out, then it will be completely over. From now on, this is her real daughter, and she will not think about the past anymore.

She stood up and waved her hand: "Let's go make dumplings. If you can't eat meat, then eat vegetarian dumplings. Vegetarian dumplings are just as delicious!"

Ye Wenyan really likes this mother. She has the same temperament as her mother in her previous life, impetuous, able to take things and let them go. She may feel sad sometimes, but she will never let herself be trapped in sadness.

Her mother from the previous life is no longer with her, so thank God for giving her a mother in this life, as well as Shi Liyuan and Quan Qingcheng.

"Making dumplings." She also became happy, and couldn't help but wonder if that old man Shi Liyuan would like to eat this. She took Mu's arm affectionately, "Mom, I want to eat radish stuffing, make more..."
