After I traveled through the book, I fought back in the Hou Mansion

Chapter 88

The Marquis' wife was injured when she gave birth to him and could not get pregnant afterwards. The child was not easy to come by, so the Marquis' wife naturally doted on him and took great care of him. Even so, he was not spoiled to the point of having a bad character. Instead, he was very sensible.

At this moment, hearing his mother's obviously biased words, he naturally felt sorry for Luo Shuiyao.

Why was it that Lu Zhaozhao could find a handsome and outstanding man as her husband, while Luo Shuiyao could only try her best to find a suitable one? He didn't think Sister Yao was any worse than others.

"What nonsense are you talking about, kid?" The Marquis's wife felt a little embarrassed when she heard his words and scolded him in a low voice.

Lu Zhaozhao curled the corner of his mouth at Luo Shuiyao with a mocking smile.

But Luo Shuiyao didn't even look at her. She stood up and smiled at the Marquis' wife, "Aunt, please don't listen to my second brother. I know in my heart that you are doing this for my own good, but I come from a humble background. How can I find a good family? I have already made up my mind. I will not marry in the future. Please don't worry about me anymore."

The Marquis's wife pursed her lips, suppressing the discomfort in her heart. She said, "Stop talking nonsense! How can a woman not marry? You have the support of our Marquisate. As long as the Marquisate stands, the person you marry in the future will never dare to neglect you. Your eldest brother will be back today. When he comes, spend more time with him. In the future, your eldest brother will be the master of this Marquisate, and you will have nothing to worry about in your life."

It’s because my eldest brother is the boss that I’m worried! Luo Shuiyao responded secretly in her heart, but her face remained calm.

Of course, there was no need for her to argue with the Marquis's wife at this time. After all, what she would do in the end still depended on herself.

She reached out and held down Ye Yunxing, who was about to stand up to refute Madam Hou, and picked up a packet of medicine powder that she had prepared beside her and handed it to Madam Hou. "Aunt, I heard that your headache has become more severe in recent days. This is the medicine powder that I made according to the prescription of an old genius doctor to dispel cold and wind. Soak your feet in hot water every day before going to bed. Over time, it will definitely relieve your headache."

Madam Hou's headache was caused by a cold wind, and a hot foot bath would offer some relief. Hot foot baths promote blood circulation and dispel cold and relieve pain. She had worked overnight these past few days to prepare a portion, and today was the perfect time to give it to Madam Hou.

Madam Hou took the medicine package, feeling deeply moved and suddenly feeling even more ashamed of her actions. "Thank you, Yaoyao. I will start doing as you say today."

Seeing this, Lu Zhaozhao raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "Sister Yao, where did you get this messed up prescription? My aunt is of noble status and precious health, how can you use medicine casually?"

Her tone seemed to be one of good advice, but in fact it was full of sarcasm.

Luo Shuiyao didn't even look at her. She took out a prescription from her sleeve and handed it to Madam Hou. "The medicine in this prescription was obtained from Doctor Hua. Every ingredient is a good medicine. The prescription has also been reviewed by him. Aunt, you can use it with confidence."

As he spoke, he handed over the prescription and said, "If you think it's useful, you can send someone to get the medicine from Doctor Hua in the future."

At this point, she looked into the eyes of the Marquis' wife and said seriously, "I just hope that my aunt will persist every day, so that it will be effective."

The Marquis's wife smiled and nodded slightly. "How could your aunt let you down? You can rest assured."

Upon hearing this, Nanny Sang stepped forward, took the medicine package from the Marquis's wife, and said, "Don't worry, Miss Luo, I'll supervise you and make sure you take the medicine properly every day."

Seeing that no one paid attention to what he said, Lu Zhaozhao's face suddenly darkened.

She lowered her head and said nothing, her dissatisfaction with Luo Shuiyao increasing a little: Just wait, country girl, today I will make you lose your reputation and be despised by others.

Luo Shuiyao didn't know Lu Zhaozhao's little thoughts at the moment, but even if she knew, she wouldn't care.

She looked at the Marquis' wife and chuckled, "Aunt, let's eat quickly. We'll have guests coming soon, and if we get busy, you might not be able to eat."

As she spoke, she picked up the serving chopsticks and picked up a few pieces of the Marquis's favorite dishes for her. Seeing her performance, the Marquis nodded with satisfaction.

After everyone finished their meal, Luo Shuiyao and Ye Yunxing left the front yard.

Lu Zhaozhao insisted on staying and helping the Marquis' wife with the arrangements. Luo Shuiyao thought about it and decided not to go with them. The Marquis's mansion had many servants, so there were people who could arrange everything inside and outside. The Marquis' wife only stood by and gave a few instructions.

Besides, she didn't know how to decorate it, so she didn't join in the fun.

After leaving the yard, Ye Yunxing followed Luo Shuiyao closely. After hesitating for a long time, he spoke, "Don't pay attention to what my mother said. She didn't mean it."

Luo Shuiyao nodded, "Don't worry, second brother, I won't mind."

Ye Yunxing carefully observed her expression and saw that she was indeed very calm. Only then did he feel relieved and did not mention the matter again.

Seeing him like this, Luo Shuiyao smiled slightly and changed the subject, "How has your wood carving been going these days?"

When it comes to wood carving, Ye Yunxing's spirits immediately light up. "I have to thank you, Sister Yao, for the booklet you gave me. The steps are explained in great detail. I have made great progress in wood carving recently and have made many small objects. The people in the academy really like them."

The booklet he was referring to was the one Luo Shuiyao had secretly sent to him when he left the mansion and returned to the academy. It contained some hand-drawn woodcarving techniques. Seeing him like this, he must have learned quite well.

Luo Shuiyao nodded and quietly asked him: "Aunt just said that big brother is coming back. I wonder when big brother can come to the mansion?"

Ye Yunxing didn't think much about it. "I heard my father mention it yesterday. He said he would be back at noon. How about I take you to meet him later?"

At this point, he remembered his eldest brother's inexplicable rejection of her. He scratched his head and said, "Forget it, it's better for you not to see him. He is a cold and strict person. Even I rarely hear a few good words from him when I am around him."

Luo Shuiyao paused and looked back at him.

Ye Yunxing took a step back and asked, "What's wrong?"

Luo Shuiyao looked at him carefully, but did not answer. Then she turned around, waved her hand and said, "Okay, I won't think too much about it. Go back to your yard. I need to go back and catch up on some sleep."

When she returned to Chunhuayuan, she found that Zhuangzi had already returned home. After careful inquiry, she learned that Zhuangzi had already delivered the drawings to Ye Yi, and she nodded.

Then, she called Chuntao and told her to take out most of the banknotes from the box and put them in order, and then pack up the gold and silver jewelry sent by Lu Zhaozhao and the jewelry sent by Jing'an Earl's Mansion.

Then, he asked Zhuangzi to find Yang Wei, and the two of them took these things to the pawnshop to pawn them.
