Chapter 980 Principle
Mrs. Zhuo was holding the decoction in one hand and a spoon in the other, personally feeding the old lady the medicine.
It is said that good medicine tastes bitter. The decoction Xia Zihan prescribed to the old lady was three points more bitter than Huang Liandu. Zhuo fed the old lady a small spoonful of it, but it made her suffer.
She shouldn't drink it, because she's afraid of the poison and she might die. She should drink it, because the medicine is really unpleasant to drink.
If the maid feeds it, she can still snatch the soup and drink it all in one gulp. But when Zhuo Shi feeds the medicine, he deliberately feeds it to her in small sips. Naturally, she will not let her snatch the soup away. This will put the old lady to death. Extremely anxious.
When Xia Zihan came in, the old lady looked at her for help.
Xia Zihan seemed not to notice, pulling two little buns forward, "Xuan'er Jie'er, quickly salute your grandmother and great-grandmother."
"Greetings to grandma." The two buns bowed to Mrs. Zhuo in a polite manner, and then looked at Mrs. Chu with their big eyes. Seeing the old lady glaring at her, the two buns immediately looked away and were so frightened that they ducked behind Xia Zihan. go.
Xia Zihan's face darkened, and she looked at Mrs. Chu coldly, which made Mrs. Chu feel guilty and felt that she was right.
These two brats are the grandsons of that bitch. It’s natural that I don’t want to see them, huh...
Mrs. Chu glanced at the two buns in disgust, then shut her mouth and said she wouldn't take any more medicine.
Mrs. Zhuo looked at the small half of the soup medicine left in the bowl and said regretfully, "It's a pity to pour the medicine made from such expensive medicinal materials."
"Princess, why don't you come here?" Mrs. Wang stepped forward and said, "If the old lady can't drink it, she has to drink it. Otherwise, if the old lady's medicinal soup is too little, the poison will develop and the old lady will die." Ah.”
Mrs. Wang is a good person, and she has long known in her heart that the princess does not want to see the old lady. On the surface, the princess is here to serve the old lady, but in fact she is here to torment the old lady.
In the past, when the princess was young, she was often bullied by the old lady. Now that the old lady is about to die, if the princess does not find a chance to take revenge, she will have no chance in the future.
After Mrs. Wang saw this, she followed Zhuo's wishes to please her.
Sure enough, Mrs. Zhuo's face was full of smiles, "You are right, I feel relieved that the old lady has such a careful person like you waiting by her side."
With that said, he gave Mrs. Wang the decoction in his hand.
Mrs. Wang took the soup and winked at the two maids.
The two maids came over and were about to pry open the old lady's mouth, but the old lady opened her mouth first and looked at Mr. Zhuo with a proud look in her eyes.
Zhuo is so angry.
The emotional old lady pretended not to want to take the medicine before, just to take the medicine bowl away from her hand. This old pious woman is very cunning and has many tricks.
"Mom, after grandma drank the decoction, it's good for your health to have a good rest for a while." Seeing that Mrs. Zhuo was angry, Xia Zihan spoke up and stopped her from getting angry, "Let's not disturb grandma's rest and go to the outer room to talk. Speak.”
"Humph..."
Mrs. Zhuo rolled her eyes at the old lady, took her eldest grandson's hand, and went to the outside room.
After sending all the servants to the inner room, Xia Zihan lowered his voice and asked Mr. Zhuo, "Did Dad mention anything about Prince Rong's Mansion in the past two days?"
Along the way, she was thinking about this matter and felt uneasy.
Zhuo said, "Yesterday morning, your father and Doctor Bai accompanied the emperor to the Huguo Temple. It happened that the Celestial Master was in retreat. He said he would not be able to leave seclusion until two months later. The emperor did not dare to disturb the Celestial Master's practice. , and your father, Doctor Bai, is back.”
So, it will take two months to break the Yin Seizing Formation? Xia Zihan's eyebrows were knitted, and his face was very heavy. Seeing this made Zhuo's heart pound, "Ayu, what's wrong with you? Is it..."
"It's okay, mother, don't worry, I'm just thinking about the affairs of Prince Rong's Mansion." Mrs. Zhuo knew about the affairs of Prince Rong's Mansion, so Xia Zihan didn't hide it from her.
Mrs. Zhuo glanced at her displeasedly, "What do you want to do with Prince Rong's palace? You don't need to worry about that. Let your father take care of it."
"Grandma, grandpa hasn't come back yet." Chu Yijie suddenly interrupted, looking at Zhuo with his little eyes, "Grandpa said that he would come back in the afternoon to teach Jie'er how to play chess."
"Oh, my precious grandson, let's go to the flower room and wait for your grandfather to come back and teach you how to play chess, okay?" Mrs. Zhuo picked up Chu Yijie and kissed him on his little face.
Chu Yijie wrinkled his little face in disgust, pursed his lips, and said nothing.
Mrs. Zhuo gritted her teeth and said, "You little scoundrel, you are exactly the same as your father when he was a child. You won't even let your grandma know. If your grandma gets angry, you will show off your face to her."
"Grandma's saliva is dirty." Chu Yijie puffed up his little face and said softly and cutely.
Mrs. Zhuo hummed, "What's dirty? Grandma gargles with salt water every day. Grandma's saliva is very clean."
Chu Xuanyu had to eat a few mouthfuls every day before falling asleep. This little brat actually dared to despise her for being dirty.
Chu Yijie pursed his lips and said nothing, but his expression was very defensive, fearing that Mrs. Zhuo would take advantage of him and kiss him again.
"Jie'er, you can't talk about your grandmother like that. Grandma is the elder, and we are the younger generation. It is only right for the younger generation to respect their elders." Xia Zihan taught his son in a soft voice.
Chu Yijie couldn't understand, "What is the truth?"
"The truth is...a kind of rule in the world, a kind of justice. If people don't follow the truth, there will be no rules. Without rules, there will be nothing. Therefore, people living in the world must abide by the rules and understand the truth. If they don't Anyone who behaves unreasonably is a bad person.”
Chu Yijie said oh, not sure if he understood.
Not long after the grandparents and grandchildren returned to the greenhouse, Chu Yixuan came back.
He came to see Mr. Zhuo as soon as he came back. He didn't even change his court clothes. When Mr. Zhuo saw him, he muttered, "I didn't even change my court clothes. I just came here to wash off the dust on my body. My precious grandson's clothes were dirty." I don’t care about clothes.”
Chu Xuanyu hugged his eldest grandson and said with a smile, "Why, my grandson doesn't dislike me, but you dislike me?"
"Humph, my grandson doesn't dislike you. They all dislike me." Seeing Chu Yixuan obediently letting Chu Xuanyu hold her, Zhuo became envious and jealous.
Chu Xuanyu laughed loudly, "What are you afraid of, as long as I don't dislike you."
Being teased by him in front of her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhuo glared at him in shame and annoyance, "What are you talking about? Ayu and her two grandsons are still here."
Chu Xuanyu laughed, but seeing that she was annoyed, he did not dare to tease her anymore, fearing that she would be really angry and would burst into tears if he was not allowed to enter the house at night.
Before Chu Xuanyu could go back to the room to change clothes, the maid serving Mrs. Chu hurriedly came to report, "Your Majesty, the old lady wants to see you."
Chu Xuanyu frowned and went to the old lady's house without changing his clothes.
The old lady called him here because she wanted to sue Mr. Zhuo. She also said that Mr. Zhuo was unfilial and deliberately tortured her. Unfortunately, the couple had a good relationship. The old lady made her arm sore after writing, and Chu Xuanyu did not say anything to severely punish Mr. Zhuo. .
