Favoring concubines and killing wives? The miraculous doctor mistress went crazy after her rebirth
Chapter 23: Implicitly mocking his ungratefulness
Seeing Jiang Zhinian like this, the veins on the old lady's forehead were about to jump.
"Who dares to make up a story about you? Don't worry, since you are sick, just take a good rest. You don't need to come over to pay your respects."
"Don't panic, mother. There's nothing wrong with my daughter-in-law. She just suddenly became very ill last night."
Jiang Zhinian emphasized the word "last night".
The old lady's face turned pale. What happened last night involved Murong Chuan and Su Wanruo. If it got out, the Marquis' Mansion would be the ones to lose face.
"Mother Zhou, please find a doctor to see Madam immediately. Make sure nothing goes wrong."
Jiang Zhinian was still coughing, "Cough cough..."
When she lowered her head, the corners of her mouth curled up in a strange and cold arc.
Soon, Mother Zhou came with the court doctor.
The court doctor felt Jiang Zhinian's pulse and was so shocked that his eyelids almost twitched.
The old lady frowned and asked, "Doctor, how is Chinen's health?"
In front of outsiders, the old lady always acts like she is very nice to her daughter-in-law.
Looks worried.
The court doctor hesitated, not knowing whether to speak.
The old lady's heart skipped a beat. "What happened to Chinen? Tell me now!"
"Old Madam, calm down. Madam's pulse is long and stringy, thin and weak. It is a sign of anger attacking the heart, stagnation of Qi, and insufficient Qi and blood. In addition, Madam's cold has not been cured, and the condition has been delayed. Madam's condition is particularly serious, and her vitality has been damaged..."
"Madam, please don't get angry or overwork yourself from now on, or your life will be in danger."
The doctor said a series of words, which the old lady did not quite understand, but when she heard that her life was in danger, how could she not know the seriousness of the matter.
"Chinen, you heard what the doctor said. You are sick now, so you should go back and rest. Don't get tired."
Now the old lady no longer has the same idea as before, and she doesn’t dare to force Jiang Zhinian to set rules for her.
If Jiang Zhinian really got into trouble in the Marquis' Mansion...
The old lady didn't dare to think further.
Right now, the Marquis' Mansion still needs Jiang Zhinian.
Jiang Zhinian put some onion water on his handkerchief and wiped his eyes, letting the tears fall.
"But people outside are saying that I didn't come to pay my respects to my mother, and that she was so angry that she fainted. This is really unfilial. A daughter-in-law must not be known as an unfilial daughter."
"Even if I die here, I have to pay my respects to my mother."
The old lady secretly hated Jiang Zhinian when she saw him like this, but she had to explain: "Nonsense, it was others who deliberately set off firecrackers. I told you before that you were not feeling well and you didn't need to come to pay your respects. That was my intention."
"And I fainted yesterday. It was just because I didn't get enough rest the night before. It had nothing to do with you. It was just a coincidence. The servants spread rumors."
"Don't worry, I will definitely discipline the servants in the mansion. They will never dare to make up these things again."
Jiang Zhinian's body shook a bit.
The old lady turned pale.
"Ahem, what mother said is true. I will come to pay my respects to you tomorrow."
"No, no need."
"But the servants will discuss it again."
The old lady gnashed her teeth and said, "I will issue an order today. From now on, you should take care of your health first and don't need to come to pay respects. You should follow my orders and no one will dare to say anything against you."
Jiang Zhinian achieved his goal temporarily and stopped talking.
She turned around slowly, preparing to go back to rest, very leisurely.
Just as I was about to walk out the door, I saw Murong Chuan and Su Wanruo coming over.
There were dark marks under Murong Chuan's eyes, which showed that he didn't get enough rest last night.
Jiang Zhinian lowered his head and curled his lips slightly, looking irritated, "Ahem..."
Jiang Zhinian coughed very loudly, as if he wanted to cough out his heart and lungs.
Lian Qiao hurried forward to support Jiang Zhinian, crying, "Poor Madam, you became so seriously ill last night. The doctor said you can't get angry."
"Madam is upset right now. What if something goes wrong? I won't be able to explain to Madam Dowager!"
Jiang Zhinian listened to Lian Qiao's words and watched her performance, and nodded secretly in his heart, that's what he wanted to do.
Murong Chuan was furious when he thought about what happened last night, not to mention that he didn't sleep all night, which made him even angrier.
"Jiang Zhinian, it was you who pushed me out of the door yesterday. It was you who made my cousin faint and get sick. Who can provoke you?"
Lian Qiao's eyes were red as she looked at Murong Chuan angrily and said, "The Marquis only knows how to blame Madam. Yesterday, the Marquis kidnapped all the doctors Madam had hired to treat Miss Cousin, but he didn't care about Madam's life or death. The Marquis claimed that he treated Madam wholeheartedly and had no second thoughts. Now, only three years have passed, and the Marquis has changed."
Before Murong Chuan got angry, Jiang Zhinian whispered, "Lian Qiao, don't be rude."
"You must not speak to the Marquis like that. The Marquis is of noble status, so how could he remember every word he said? It's normal for him to forget."
"I only see new people smiling, but I don't hear old people crying."
"It is normal for the Marquis to have three wives and four concubines. I will not stop you anymore."
Jiang Zhinian lowered his head and shed tears, looking heartbroken.
Murong Chuan didn't know why, but when he heard her words, he felt anger rushing to his head.
Jiang Zhinian was implying that he was ungrateful and deliberately forgot his promise.
But Jiang Zhinian looked like he was about to faint from coughing, so he had to hold back what he wanted to say.
Su Wanruo was also shocked when she saw Jiang Zhinian's expression.
The calculations in my mind can only be suppressed temporarily.
Murong Yanran was unwilling to be forgotten in the corner by everyone, so she came out and saluted, saying, "Yanran greets the Marquis, and greets the cousin!"
When Murong Chuan saw Murong Yanran, his expression finally eased a little.
And he also thought that he would need Jiang Zhinian in the future, so he could only suppress his anger and stiffly went forward to coax Jiang Zhinian, saying: "Don't get angry over trivial matters, we are all family."
"Since you are ill, you should rest well."
"Yanran is smart and clever, and the child is lively and energetic. She will go to your yard to accompany you and help you relieve your boredom."
Jiang Zhinian's lips curled up in sarcasm. Even at this moment, Murong Chuan still did not forget his purpose and tried his best to get Murong Yanran to her side.
Jiang Zhinian snorted in his heart, and sighed on his face, "Speaking of children, I think the orphans of the third house are good. Compared with relatives, the third house is closer to us."
"She is closer than the orphan girl from the side branch. Since you care so much about me, then arrange for her to stay with me in my courtyard!"
The smile on Murong Chuan's face suddenly faded and his expression instantly became stiff.
Jiang Zhinian usually doesn't care about the affairs of other families, so how could he be interested in his third brother's daughter?
The third brother was born out of wedlock and was very inconspicuous, so he never took him seriously.
Later, when the war broke out, he made his third brother his scapegoat and left an orphan, a girl, to fend for herself.
When would such a person catch Jiang Zhinian's eye?
