Chapter 294 Physical weakness
After learning what happened from Lan Shuang, Xie Zhan's face became a little gloomy.
Ming's mother's attitude cannot be said to be wrong, but when it fell into Mingxiu's eyes, it was a bit heartbreaking.
"Don't tell the princess that I know." Xie Zhan warned.
Although she didn't know his plan, Lan Shuang understood that Xie Zhan would not hurt Mingxiu no matter what.
At least not in this matter.
A few days later, someone reported Miao Zhuang's gambling to the Yamen.
Originally, this was not a big deal. For people who had no name in the court, this was just a common pastime. It was just annoying, and there was absolutely no way it would lead to a lawsuit.
But Miao Zhuang was more or less the jailer of Taichang Temple Prison. Although he was not an official, he was still in the imperial establishment. It was not a trivial matter for such a person to gamble.
If you are not reported, nothing will happen. Once you are reported, you will lose your job and may even face a slap in the face.
After Mingxiu heard this, her expression moved slightly, and she turned to look at Lan Shuang, "Now that this has happened, Miao Zhuang will go to my parents' house to make trouble, right?"
In her impression, the only people who could settle this matter for Miao Zhuang were members of their family.
The other relatives of the Miao family could only show off their power among the villagers, and dealing with the yamen was something the villagers did not dare to think of.
Lan Shuang was startled and lowered his head in shame, "I haven't inquired yet."
"Miao Zhuang and Young Master... ahem, Miao Manman's family is making a fuss in front of Madam. They've been sitting at the door of the house recently and won't leave!"
After giving Lan Shuang a proud look, Bailu lowered his head and shared the information he had gained during this period with Mingxiu.
At the end, she did not forget to scoff at them, "You are so ignorant of etiquette when you come to ask for help. That is why Miao Zhuang's family is so thick-skinned!"
You are obviously asking the Ming family to do something, but you still dare to act like a fool?
Ridiculous!
But Mingxiu knew their purpose of doing this, "If they come to beg, I will definitely not agree. They can only use this method to force my mother to plead with me."
Even if she didn't give face to Miao Manman's ex-sister-in-law, Mingxiu had to give face to her mother.
As long as Ming's mother opens her mouth, Mingxiu will inevitably ask questions.
But will Ming's mother use the Miao family's affairs to embarrass Mingxiu?
In the past, Mingxiu could be confident that he wouldn't do it, but now it's hard to say.
Lan Shuang frowned slightly, "Madam shouldn't be so confused."
She was also a little unsure.
The last time Ming's mother came to visit, what she said had already subverted Lan Shuang's impression of Ming's mother. It was hard to say what she would do next.
"Who knows." Mingxiu shrugged, seemingly not taking this matter to heart.
But the two girls who were inseparable from her knew in their hearts that she was definitely interested.
Bailu endured it for a long time, but still said: "Master, otherwise you can tell the prince about this. The prince will definitely have a way."
"Tell him what to do? Isn't that embarrassing enough?"
It's not that Mingxiu can't handle such a matter, and she has no intention of bothering Xie Zhan again and again.
The housekeeper came forward to report the affairs of the house. After Mingxiu dismissed him, he stood up and said, "I've been sitting for a long time and I'm a little tired."
Thumbing her waist, Mingxiu sighed inwardly.
She was still so young, so she couldn't bear the fatigue. A miscarriage would be really harmful to her body.
Thinking like this, I hated Miao Manman even more.
Lan Shuang hurriedly stepped forward to help, "I will give you a good beating, my slave."
Mingxiu's health has been bad lately, and she sees it in her eyes and feels pain in her heart, but in this situation, there is no other way but to take good care of her, even if the imperial doctor comes, it won't work.
Even though she was distressed, there was nothing she could do.
"It doesn't matter, I'll just lie down for a while and I'll be fine." Mingxiu waved her hand. Such pain was excruciating at first, but later she got used to it. Apart from feeling uncomfortable, there were no other problems.
Lan Shuang sighed and said nothing, but gave the egret a wink.
"Master, a new blood swallow has just been delivered to the palace. Why don't you go and order the kitchen to stew it for you to try?"
"no appetite."
…
There was a slight chill through the carved windows, and Mingxiu could still feel it even among the bedding.
It wasn't even winter yet, and she was already feeling chilly. She was afraid this winter would be difficult.
After staring at the bed curtain for a long time, Mingxiu suddenly stood up.
"Blue Double!"
Lan Shuang, who was originally waiting in the ear room, was frightened by the call and ran out quickly, "What are your orders, Master?"
"Go find a mason."
Although he didn't quite understand what Mingxiu's confusing instructions meant, Lan Shuang still followed the instructions and went to find them.
She remained calm, but Bailu couldn't help but be curious, "Everything in the palace is brand new. The prince only sent people to renovate it in the summer. What does the princess want to do with the masons at this time?"
"Make something to keep warm." Mingxiu sighed, thinking that he was really old, "By the way..."
Before he finished speaking, Lan Shuang came back.
"So fast?" Mingxiu was surprised and couldn't help but wonder if there were masons in the palace but she didn't know it.
Lan Shuang's face looked a little ugly, "Madam and the young master are here."
It was something that was expected, but it happened faster than expected.
Mingxiu's expression remained unchanged, she got up and put on her clothes, "Let's go." Even if you come, you can't miss it.
Even if they are called brother and sister, after Mingxiu gets married, Ye Ziming can only be regarded as the outside son. Therefore, he and Ming's mother come at the same time, and Mingxiu can only see him in the outer courtyard.
The hollow-carved corridor is beautiful and exquisite, but it is indeed very drafty and cold.
Mingxiu couldn't help but shiver, "If it gets colder, let someone hang up the curtains on the corridor."
"yes."
forecourt.
"Bring you here to persuade your sister that Miao Manman will marry you after all." Ming's mother sighed, who was she doing this for?
After all, it's not for her own family. No matter how confused she is, she still knows that she can't hurt her own people's hearts for outsiders.
However, Ye Ziming frowned and said in disapproval: "Mom, do you know how Miao Manman harmed Xiu'er? Now that you are interceding for them, where will you put Xiu'er?"
He saw clearly better than Ming's father and Ming's mother that Miao Manman recklessly harmed Mingxiu's child, but she didn't show any remorse afterwards. She even made trouble from time to time and even insulted Mingxiu after she was divorced.
Under such circumstances, Mingxiu and Xie Zhan would be doing their best to not kill them all, so let them help?
Dreaming is faster!
"But no matter what, she is also Xiaobao's biological mother! If she really sues her, where will Xiaobao be placed? How will Xiaobao be able to hold his head up in the future?"
"Humph, a good man should stand up to the heaven and earth. Even if his background is not good, he should still achieve a career on his own. If he can stand on his own, who cares what his mother does!"
