Chapter 350: I am tired of listening to these people screaming and shouting
The Queen Mother had learned to cultivate herself over the years. She listened patiently to Mrs. Luo's story, frowned and thought for a moment before she said:
"Since Ya'er is seriously ill now, let's put other things aside for now."
She waved to the nanny who was waiting on the side and asked her to summon the director of the Imperial Hospital.
"From what you said, Cui was just a vulgar woman. Although she saved the old lady from Prince Ning's mansion, who knows whether it is true or not? There are no such coincidences in the world. Maybe the old lady had already found out about this matter, and she came up with such a method to elevate the status of her own son..."
The Queen Mother snorted coldly. Haha, these are just some tricks to fool those ignorant people outside. Anyone with a discerning eye would understand the weirdness if they think about it carefully.
"What you said makes sense, aunt. Otherwise, people always say that old ginger is more spicy. If it weren't for you, aunt, we would really have been kept in the dark..."
Mrs. Luo rolled her eyes and quickly spoke good words to the Empress Dowager.
In fact, this is very possible. Maybe all this is just a trick played by the old woman in Prince Ning's Mansion.
It had been several months since Madam Cui came to the capital. Apart from curing the old woman, she had never been heard to have treated anyone else.
And the incident of Xu Lewan's miscarriage might have been a conspiracy between them to fool the Luo family.
OK, so that’s how it is!
This family put on a show and threw dirty water on the Luo family, causing a huge uproar in the city and making her feel embarrassed to go out and see people.
Fortunately, it had been snowing heavily for a long time and the weather was cold, so people had few opportunities to walk outside, which saved her a lot of embarrassment.
This was really a wake-up call. Mrs. Luo felt that she had finally discovered the huge secret. She was happy but also a little annoyed. Why didn't she think of this earlier?
As soon as she gets out today, she will send someone out to investigate immediately. Once she has solid evidence, she will expose Madam Cui in public!
Mrs. Luo was still fuming in her heart when the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau was invited over by the nanny.
"Please rest assured, Queen Mother. I will pack my things and take people to help Miss Luo treat her illness."
The director of the Imperial Hospital was named Shi Wenrui, an old man with gray hair and beard. After listening to Mrs. Luo's description of the situation, he immediately agreed to go there in person.
"Thank you for your hard work, Master Shi. Please take a look at the herbs you need and bring them directly from the Imperial Hospital. All expenses will be paid by our Fukang Palace..."
In order to show that she would not take advantage of the palace for nothing, the Empress Dowager asked the nanny to take out a silver note on the spot.
"The medicinal materials in the Imperial Hospital were carefully selected by you, so they are naturally more effective than those outside..."
"This... the Empress Dowager is so noble and upright that I really admire her. I will accept it first. After seeing Miss Luo, I will come to report to her as soon as possible..."
Lord Shi took the banknote with both hands. He really admired this woman. Even though she is in a high position now, she still keeps the same cautious words and deeds as she did in the past, and she never leaves any handle for others.
Because Luo Shiya was indeed very ill, the Queen Mother did not keep them talking any longer. When Lord Shi went back to make preparations, she had Madam Luo sent out of the palace as well.
"Don't worry about other things for now. Everything will be settled after Ya'er recovers."
The Empress Dowager waved her hand and consoled Mrs. Luo with a few words before letting the nanny take her out of the palace.
As for the affairs of the Xu family and the Cui family, her thoughts were similar to Mrs. Luo's. In order to ensure that everything was foolproof, she had to send someone to investigate thoroughly first.
Thinking that all this was most likely a trick directed and performed by the old princess herself, the Queen Mother could not help but sneer.
It is said that you can see farther only when you stand higher, but many people have never thought that the higher you stand, the more painful it will be when you fall.
No matter how much you brag, after a long time, you will find that the truth will eventually come out.
She wanted to wait and see how the old man would deal with it when this matter was exposed.
The Empress Dowager and the old princess were both famous noble ladies in the capital when they were young, so it was natural that they were compared with each other everywhere.
Later they each got married and have lived in peace for many years.
No one knew what the Queen Mother was thinking. Mrs. Luo was very happy. The Dean said that he would come later, so she did not stay and wait, but hurried back home.
When she came back, she didn't even bother to change her clothes and hurried into Luo Shiya's yard.
"Oh, Master, don't worry, my sister is back..."
As soon as one foot stepped into the courtyard gate, he heard Aunt Liu's surprised voice.
"Sister, you too, are so serious. The young lady is so ill. As a mother, it would be fine if you didn't stay at home with her, but why do you run out all day long?"
Aunt Liu's words were full of blame. Upon hearing this, Mr. Luo immediately stepped out of the room, his face so gloomy that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it.
"Even a concubine whom you normally look down upon understands this truth, but you, the so-called mistress of the house, can't think of it."
Mr. Luo glared at Mrs. Luo, and there seemed to be a chill brewing in his eyes.
"What are you talking about, Master? The one lying in there is my own daughter. Apart from her own mother, who can love her more than me?"
Mrs. Luo rolled her eyes, pushed away Aunt Liu who was blocking her way, and walked into the house.
In just these few short steps, even though the old woman was holding an oil-paper umbrella to block the rain, her sleeves were still wet.
She didn't even change her clothes when she came back. She just wanted to see her daughter first. She didn't have the patience to listen to these annoying people screaming and shouting here.
"oops……"
Aunt Liu screamed, staggered a few steps and seemed to be unsteady, then fell to the side.
Mr. Luo hurried forward to help her, but as they were standing several steps apart, he was too late and could only watch Aunt Liu fall to the ground.
Because they were standing under the eaves when they were talking, Aunt Liu happened to fall down the steps when she rolled over and fell into the yard. She let out a series of screams, which scared the maids in the yard so much that they ran over to help her up.
"Oh, there's blood on the ground..."
