Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs

Xia Bai'an's eyes were slightly cold.

Meng Ke shouldn't have known about this matter.

After all, the cooperation between her and Li Chen has not been settled yet, so she can't find time to meet with Li Chen alone to discuss things, let alone cause trouble at this juncture.

How did she know?

Xia Bai'an thought about it and couldn't understand that there might be something wrong with the people around him, so he asked.

"Aunt Meng, gossip and rumors should not be taken seriously. When did I discuss business with His Highness Wang An?"

This time, it was Meng Ke's turn to be slightly stunned.

It was still Lian'er who stepped forward: "Before, many people saw Madam meeting King An in the Chenxiang Pavilion, and the staff said that the two were discussing things, discussing things in the shop, besides business, could they also talk about things?" Is it something personal?"

It seemed that these two people didn't know what they were talking about with Li Chen.

It is clearly lying to myself.

Or... this Lian'er wanted to admit that she had a private affair with Li Chen, so she was making sidelines here.

The stone in her heart fell to the ground, and she answered with ease.

"It's not a personal matter, but a matter of Tongji Hall. The Empress Dowager also knows about this matter."

"Is it about the Queen Mother?"

Concubine Degui frowned slightly, sat back slowly, and cast an impatient glance at Meng Ke and Lian Er—the vow you two just made, how did it come out of Xia Bai'an's mouth, and it became something that the Queen Mother also knew?

Meng Ke and Lian Er were also uncertain for a while, so they had to wait for her to speak.

Xia Bai'an said: "It's a nanny beside His Highness King An who has protected him since he was a child. The frostbite on his hand has been repeated for a long time, and it has not healed for a long time. When he learned that there is chilblain ointment in Chenxiang Pavilion, he called his subordinate Kang Constantly come and buy."

"Since His Highness asked his subordinates to come, why should he visit the door several times? Madam is not good at lying and deceiving people in front of the noble concubine." Lian Er was aggressive.

Concubine Degui also nodded: "If there is half a lie, I will definitely ask you to go out sideways!"

Xia Bai'an only said: "The lord came here many times because the chilblain ointment didn't work. But the mother's legs and feet are inconvenient, so it's not easy to go out to see me, and as a doctor, it's not good for me to get too close to the lord in private, so it's difficult Entering the mansion, King An cared about the kindness of the nanny since she was a child, so every time he came to explain the situation of the nanny, the minister and the prince would talk about the illness verbally, and then prescribe a prescription for diagnosis and treatment. There are account books and records in it, and the Empress Dowager also knew about this, and specially ordered the minister to take care of that nanny."

After finishing speaking, she seemed to be afraid that some people would not believe it, and added, "If you don't believe it, you can call the Mingxin Nurse next to the Empress Dowager, she can prove my innocence."

She knelt down slowly again, quietly waiting for Concubine De Gui's follow-up speech.

Concubine Degui frowned.

How could she have the guts to find Nanny Mingxin!

That is the nanny who the emperor always treats with courtesy!

Seeing that Xia Bai'an's words were convincing, and that the Queen Mother really loved Li Chen, it didn't sound like a lie, so she slowly looked at Meng Ke again: "Ke'er! You can hear such gossip, how can you still hear it?" Talking nonsense in front of Bengong, I almost misunderstood people!"

Meng Ke hurriedly bowed his body and saluted: "It's all Ke'er's fault, please punish Degui Concubine!"

"Forget it. You are still young, and you just married into someone else's house, and you have heard rumors from those lowly maidservants. I don't care about this matter, but... Imperial Physician Xia doesn't know how to control people in the house. But it's a big problem."

Concubine Degui changed the topic, and then looked at Mo Che who was outside the screen.

"Captain Mo Che works outside every day. If he returns to the mansion, he will not be clean. I'm afraid he won't be able to properly handle the errands left by the emperor and brother. Why don't I worry about it today and set the rules for your family, call Ke Er and Hongxiu are in charge of the affairs of the new mansion."

Xia Bai'an narrowed his eyes.

Concubine Degui really managed leniently, even whoever was in charge of their family had to intervene.

It seems that they do have high hopes for Mo Che and attach great importance to him.

Who is in charge of the government is not so important now.

Cher should be able to handle it.

And Mo Che outside the screen said: "Meng Ke and Ying Hongxiu are still young, and they haven't even gotten close to the children, let alone teach the new servants in the mansion. I'm afraid they are too impatient to ask them to start managing the mansion in a hurry. .”

Concubine De Gui raised her eyebrows: "Look at this palace, Captain Mo Che is just partial to Imperial Physician Xia. But Captain Mo Che, don't forget, you were able to join the Evergreen Army today because of my elder brother's hand. However, my elder brother came here with the support of the Ying family and the Meng family, and they are inseparable... If you reject the Meng family and the Ying family today, you are rejecting Ben Gong and elder brother!"

What a big hat!

Xia Bai'an was slightly shocked, and quickly lowered his head.

But she couldn't figure it out.

Mo Che had clearly brought his concubine home, and he obviously wanted to have a good relationship with Sun Taiwei.And she doesn't care much about the face of her regular wife anymore, so why refuse at this time?

So she looked at Mo Che in a daze, and slowly nodded, indicating that he could agree.

Otherwise, if they kneel here and continue to be slandered by Concubine De Gui, they will be the ones who get hurt.

Mo Che, oh Mo Che, has already paid so much!

Why refuse at this juncture!

Mo Che saw what she meant, and the anger in his heart suddenly burned again.

What exactly is this Xia Bai'an thinking!

Could it be that she really didn't intend to go back to live in the Xinfu, so she let herself just hand over the Xinfu to others!

The more this happened, the more Mo Che felt that she wanted to escape from him.

Thinking of this, Mo Che said: "If the noble concubine insists on meddling in the affairs of the minister's residence, the minister will take orders. However, the minister has his own heart, so I'm afraid we can only treat each other with respect and courtesy."

"What do you mean!" Concubine Degui was shocked, "Are you going to disobey me for a doctor Xia?"

"I don't dare to disobey, it's just that I don't like being coerced by others to live."

Mo Che bluntly said that the eyes that looked up at the screen were as cold as a sharp knife.

The two faced each other across the screen, refusing to give in to each other.

Xia Bai'an lowered his head, feeling that he couldn't understand Mo Che more and more.

If she has given up everything for one thing, she will not care about her face and integrity in the end, and the only goal is to achieve what she wants.

But Mo Che seems to be jumping back and forth on this choice.

She clearly made friends with Yunxue outside.

Back in the mansion, I have to convince myself again, and wait a few more days.

She clearly brought the two concubines home to show her loyalty to Sun Taiwei.

He still kept his position in the main room, but he didn't care what kind of situation he would end up in.

He always hurt himself like this.

Again trying to make up for myself somehow.

What's the point?

Her background and the pawns in her hands can only pave the way for the children and Mo Che.But he couldn't help Mo Che achieve what he wanted at all. In Mo Che's eyes, he should have been just a failed pawn.

Since it is a failed pawn, it should be discarded.

He is here now, what is he insisting on?
