After Zhao Huaining was carried into the Zhao family, the Zhao family immediately invited a famous doctor to come in.
Zhao Huaining could clearly feel the doctor giving her an acupuncture. She was very conscious and could hear the conversations of everyone in the room. However, she could not lift her eyelids, as if she was locked in shackles and could not break free.
"Doctor Yu, how is my daughter?" Zhao Yuzhen asked worriedly after the doctor finished the acupuncture.
Doctor Yu stood up and walked to the basin stand to wash his hands, saying, "Your daughter's meridians are blocked, and there are many injuries in her body. She is already weak, and she has a high fever, which has caused her to be unconscious and speechless. Fortunately, her internal organs are not injured. After acupuncture and taking good medicine, she will be fine."
Zhao Yuzhen breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly, "That's good. I'll have to trouble Doctor Yu for the next few days."
"Mr. Zhao, you are too polite. I will go to see your mother's condition first, and then prescribe medicine for her."
Zhao Yuzhen quickly agreed and looked at the housekeeper beside her and said, "Aunt Yu, take Doctor Yu to the old lady's room."
"Yes, Mr. Zhao. Doctor Yu, please come this way." Aunt Yu said and lifted the curtain in front of the door.
As soon as Doctor Yu and Aunt Yu left, Zhao Huaining's mother Chen Leyan sat by the bed and wiped her tears.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuzhen stepped forward and comforted her, "Yanniang, didn't Doctor Yu say that she will be fine if she takes care of herself? Stop crying."
Chen Leyan held her daughter Zhao Huaining's hand and cried, "It's all your fault. If you had scolded your daughter less often, how could she run away from home? Look at her, her face is so pale, I don't know how much suffering she has suffered that day outside!"
"If she had become a successful person, would I scold her? She has been smart since she was a child. If she had been strictly disciplined before, she would not have achieved nothing now!" Zhao Yuzhen took out a handkerchief and handed it to his wife, "I am admonishing her for her own good. She was doing well in the Academy of Literature before and passed the imperial examination at the age of fourteen. If she continued to study, it would be no problem for her to become a Jinshi in the future. But she took the initiative to change to the business school. With her fickle personality, she is not cut out for business."
Chen Leyan was instantly displeased when she heard this.
"You haven't let her try, how do you know she won't succeed? She likes it anyway, and what's wrong with a daughter inheriting her mother's business?"
Zhao Yuzhen remained silent after hearing this. Chen
Leyan glanced at her and said, "In my opinion, after Huaining gets married, you should give Huaining a chance to try. If it succeeds, everyone will be happy. If it doesn't, let her give up on her own."
"Speaking of marriage, I'm afraid Huaining won't do it when she wakes up. She has always liked Su Wanqing, the second daughter of the Su family. We have arranged for her to marry Su Zhiqiu, the eldest daughter of the Su family, behind her back. Even if we force her to get married, I'm afraid she won't have the heart to do business after marriage. I'm worried that there will be no peace in the family." Zhao Yuzhen sighed.
Su Zhiqiu!!! Zhao Huaining couldn't help but wonder when he heard this name. Did the Zhao family choose a female knight for their daughter at the beginning? Did she miss it when she was reading the book? But that's not right. She clearly saw the engagement between Su Wanqing and Zhao Huaining. What went wrong?
Chen Leyan's tears stopped instantly when she heard the three words Su Wanqing.
"She wants to marry Su Wanqing, forget it. I never like the way that girl speaks and does things. Zhiqiu is better. Although she is cold, she is steady and generous. I liked her when she was a child!"
What a wise woman, Zhao Huaining couldn't help but applaud this great woman in his heart! ! !
Zhao Yuzhen was speechless and smiled helplessly: "It's you who chooses the bride or Huaining. If you choose someone she doesn't like, both of you will be unhappy."
"What do you know? Feelings can be cultivated. We live in the same room and see each other every day. Zhiqiu is so outstanding that I believe everyone will like her unless they have a problem with their brains." Chen Leyan said as she bent down and touched her daughter's head. Obviously, her daughter was born to her, so why did she like Su Wanqing?
Zhao Huaining listened quietly, and suddenly her head was touched. She couldn't help but feel mixed emotions for a while. This touch reminded her of her mother, who had also touched her head like this...
"Boss, Madam." The voice of the maid Lamei came from outside the door.
"Come in." Zhao Yuzhen said.
The door curtain was lifted, and Lamei came in with a dirty sachet.
"Master, Madam, I was cleaning the young lady's clothes and found something in this sachet. I wonder if it is useful to the young lady."
Zhao Yuzhen heard this and said, "Show it to me."
Lamei hurriedly handed it over, Zhao Yuzhen took it, opened it, and took out the things inside.
"It's golden thread orchid!!!" Chen Leyan stood up, "Huai Ning went to collect herbs for the old lady."
Zhao Yuzhen looked back at her daughter lying on the bed, feeling indescribable guilt in her heart. Her daughter was filial to her grandmother, but she thought she was throwing a tantrum and running away from home.
Chen Leyan took the golden thread orchid and handed it to Lamei, saying, "Quick, Lamei, Doctor Yu is still in the old lady's room, you give this to Doctor Yu and ask him to use it as medicine quickly."
"Yes, Madam." Lamei hurriedly retreated with the herbs.
As soon as the person left, Zhao Yuzhen quickly came to the bedside, held her daughter's hand and said, "Huaining, it's my mother's fault. I misunderstood you. You are a good child."
Chen Leyan was angry when she heard this, "You only know now. You can't scold Huaining all the time after she wakes up. You have softened the temper of a good child. She is like a mouse seeing a cat when she sees you. Poor Huaining was injured like this for picking herbs!!" "
I lack patience. I will talk to my daughter calmly when she wakes up." Zhao Yuzhen made up her mind, but she didn't know that Zhao Huaining's awakening would make her blood pressure soar more than before.
Zhao Huaining lay there, listening to the conversation between the two people, and was a little shocked. Did Zhao Huaining fall off the cliff and fall into the mud while picking herbs? It seems that the daughter of these two people is really dead. Zhao Huaining felt uncomfortable in her heart. She could hear the love of the two people for their daughter, but it was a pity...
"You must keep your words. We only have this one daughter." Chen Leyan's eyes were red, and she sat on the bed and threw herself into Zhao Yuzhen's arms.
"I know, I know, Yan Niang, from now on, our family of three will be fine."
Zhao Huaining couldn't help feeling guilty when she heard this. She didn't belong here. When she woke up and could move, she would commit suicide. However, she, a fake imposter, also died. Wouldn't these two be heartbroken?
"Boss, Madam, someone from the Su family is here to hand over the marriage certificate." At this time, the voice of Aunt Yu, the housekeeper, came from outside the door.
Chen Leyan was overjoyed when she heard this. She wiped her tears and took the initiative to walk to the door. She took it from Aunt Yu with a smile and said, "The Su family is really fast. Did they get the marriage certificate from the county government so quickly?"
Aunt Yu smiled and said, "Yes, Madam, the messenger from the Su family also said that Mr. Su received a temporary task and is now out on business. The specific wedding date will be determined on the old lady's birthday."
"Okay, Aunt Yu, go and get busy." Chen Leyan said as she took the marriage certificate into the house, opened it with a smile as she walked, but when she saw the name on it, her face changed.
"Zhen Niang, is Zhiqiu the one you and the Su family have decided on?" Chen Leyan once suspected that she was dazzled when she held the marriage certificate.
Zhao Yuzhen was still feeling guilty about his daughter. Hearing this, he was at a loss: "Yeah, what's wrong?"
"Come and take a look. Whose name is under this bride and groom? Am I dazzled?" Chen Leyan eagerly took the marriage certificate to the bed and handed it to Zhao Yuzhen.
Zhao Yuzhen looked down and was also stunned.
"Why... is it Su Wanqing?" Zhao Yuzhen was surprised when he took the marriage certificate. Zhao Huaining, who
was lying on the bed, sighed in her heart when she heard this. That's what she said. How could she remember it wrong with such a good brain? No matter if it was a coincidence or not, it was Su Wanqing who was betrothed to Zhao Huaining after all. However, she believed that with her death, the fate of those related to Zhao Huaining would definitely change. I hope that the Zhao family will have a good ending after her death.
"You!! Tell me the truth, are you the Su Wanqing who went to the Su family to propose marriage behind my back?" Chen Leyan was very angry.
Zhao Yuzhen stood up quickly and explained, "I didn't. Su Zhubu and I never mentioned Su Wanqing the whole time. Yanniang, please sit down first. Don't be angry. Maybe Su Zhubu made a mistake."
Chen Leyan felt a little dizzy: "How did you talk about it? Did you say clearly that you wanted Zhiqiu?"
"Why should I say it clearly? The matchmaker had already communicated before me. Besides, it is impossible for the eldest daughter of the Su family to skip Zhiqiu and get an engagement to the younger daughter first. This is the rule. The matchmaker knows what we mean. He is also from a regular matchmaking school and can't do anything to matchmake the second daughter without the eldest daughter."
Chen Leyan heard it and said, "That's right. What does the Su family mean? I found out that Su Wanqing's grades were at the bottom of the art school. Of course grades are secondary, but I feel uncomfortable when this girl speaks. She doesn't look like a sincere person. It's not easy to agree to this marriage."
"I'll go find him now." Zhao Yuzhen closed the marriage certificate and was about to leave.
Seeing this, Chen Leyan hurried forward to hold the other party and said, "Aunt Yu said that Su Zhubu is out on business. Wait a minute. Anyway, the wedding date has not been decided. Let's discuss it privately."
Zhao Huaining sighed in his heart. It was so miserable, but seeing that the two of them were in love, why not have another child? Although it would be sad if the older one could not be kept, life must go on.
"Boss, Madam, the old lady is here."
The two people in the room hurried to the door and lifted the curtain.
"Mother, why did you get out of bed when you are not well?" Zhao Yuzhen said, and Chen Leyan stepped forward to support her.
The old lady walked in and said, "Lamei sent the medicine. Doctor Yu said that I will be fine after drinking three or four doses. I was lying in bed and felt uncomfortable thinking that my granddaughter was still unconscious because of my medicine, so I thought about coming to see her."
Zhao Yuzhen and the others helped the old lady to the bed. The old lady looked at her granddaughter's miserable face and felt heartbroken.
"You always say she is unfilial, but in fact, she is the most filial one." The old lady took out something from her sleeve. This thing was shaped like a lotus, and the meridians of the lotus were hollowed out. From the hollowed-out part, there was a big white pearl inside.
"This is our family's ancestral lotus pendant, which has a calming effect. Give it to Huaining today." The old lady opened the quilt and hung the red knot of the lotus pendant on the button of Zhao Huaining's middle coat. Then she took Zhao Huaining's hand and patted it, "Huaining, be well, wake up early."
Lotus pendant? Zhao Huaining wanted to raise his hand to touch it, but he couldn't move. The book described the lotus pendant, and there was a big pearl inside. This pearl was not natural, but synthetic. There were fragments of the treasure map inside the pearl. Su Zhiqiu found the huge treasure by finding the lotus pendants and the treasure map.
Wow, it turns out that the Zhao family also has a lotus pendant, but the book doesn't seem to say how Su Zhiqiu got the lotus pendant from the Zhao family!
This made her quite curious. Now that the lotus pendant was hanging on her, how would the heroine try to snatch it?
