Chapter 153 Enquiring Birth
Duke Mansion was smaller than Jin Mansion, but the pavilions along the way were much chicer than those of Jin Mansion.
Wang Ziyu was placed in a guest room of the Fang Garden in Duke Qing Mansion.
When they reached outside the Fang Garden, Madam Duke Qing asked a maid to go in to report so as to make the people inside prepared.
When Su Muge went in, the air in the room was relatively fresh. The ventilation was good.
Wang Ziyu saw them coming in, and she got out of bed with the help of a maid.
Seeing her look, Su Muge frowned slightly. This woman…was too thin.
“The eldest Madam Li, don’t be over-courteous since you are unwell. Please lie down.”
“Thank you, Your Grace. Sorry to be impolite.”
The eldest Madam Li was helped by the maid to go back to the bed. However, as soon as she sat down, she rolled her eyes and passed out!
“Your Grace, please save this poor child!” Seeing this, Old Lady Li’s eyes turned red immediately.
The maids helped Wang Ziyu to lie down on the bed, and Su Muge stepped forward to take Wang Ziyu’s pulse.
Su Muge slightly increased the strength of her fingers; otherwise, she could hardly feel the pulse of Wang Ziyu since her pulse was too weak.
After taking her pulse, Su Muge looked at Wang Ziyu’s eyeballs and tongue.
“Your Grace, what’s wrong with her?” Seeing Su Muge stand up, Madam Duke Qing asked.
“The eldest Madam Li’s body is too weak. Can you tell me about the origin of her disease?”
A mama in her forties, who was standing by the bed, knelt and said, “Your Grace, Madam fell sick after giving birth to the eldest master. And she almost died of metrorrhagia at that time. We finally managed to stop the bleeding and took special care of her during her confinement. But her body was hurt, after all, and she has become like this now.”
Despite metrorrhagia at that time, she wouldn’t get worsened like this if being taken careful care of afterward.
“Let me take a look at the prescription she has used before.”
A maid handed a stack of prescriptions to her.
Su Muge took them over and took a careful look at them.
There was nothing but some supplementing medicines, which had no problem at all.
“I’ll make a prescription for her to eat for a few days. After that, I’ll come over to see her.”
“Thank you, Your Grace.”
“Find a medical maid who knows about medicine. I’ll teach her to rub some acupuncture points, and she has to rub the eldest Madam Li three to five times tomorrow morning and evening.
“Okay, okay, go to find her.”
Since Madam fell sick, the Li family had hired a medical maid to take care of her. And she was in the Duke Qing Mansion now.
The medical maid arrived soon, and Su Muge removed the quilt on the eldest Madam Li and exposed her belly and lower abdomen.
“Watch my moves clearly and rub her according to my order.”
“Yes.”
After the demonstration, the medical maid said that she was clear, then Su Muge stopped.
“Your Grace, we have prepared the meal. Please have a meal with us, Your Grace.” Madam Duke Qing said kindly.
“No, I’ve been out for a while and I should go back now.”
Su Muge left Duke Qing Mansion soon.
On her way back to Jin Mansion, Su Muge leaned against the wall of the carriage to relax with her eyes closed.
Suddenly, the carriage stopped, and Su Muge was almost thrown out of the carriage because of inertia. Fortunately, Wang Nuo was sitting beside the door and held her in time.
“How dare you hurt my master? Go to hell!”
“Catch them!”
There was a clamor of fighting outside the carriage.
Su Muge lifted the carriage curtain and saw a familiar figure.
“Go to ask who is making trouble.”
“Yes.” Wang Yi got off the carriage.
Su Muge put down the curtain and Wang Yi came back soon.
“Your Grace, it is said that someone dined and dashed in the restaurant. And then the eldest master Sui Zhan of Marquis Zhen Mansion paid his bill but asked him to…” Wang Nuo paused and gritted her teeth, “…to compensate with his flesh!”
At the thought of the figure she had seen, Su Muge twitched her eyes.
Marquis Zhen Mansion was the maiden family of Concubine Qin. Because Concubine Qin and Second Prince were in power, Marquis Zhen Mansion was also in great power in the capital.
Now, Concubine Qin’s nephew, Sui Zhan, was making trouble outside.
He was one of the top three foppish dudes in the capital.
“Stop the carriage aside. No need to go forward.”
“Yes.”
Sui Zhan, in a bright and colorful robe and a mink fur cloak, was standing proudly outside the crowd with his red eyes staring lasciviously at the pretty boy standing in the crowd.
Thinking that he could put such a beautiful boy under his body immediately, he was so excited that all his goosebumps erected!
“Quickly, catch him! But don’t hurt him. Whoever catches him will be greatly rewarded!”
“Yes.”
The guards of Marquis Zhen Mansion were all eager to try.
Ali stayed in front of Jinglan and looked down upon those guards.
“Humph, go to hell!”
Just as Ali waved his long sword, dozens of guards fell to the ground in a blink of an eye and could no longer get up!
“You, you, how dare you? How dare you hurt the people of Marquis Zhen Mansion?” Sui Zhan, who was complacent just now, was astonished to see his men fall to the ground now.
“How dare you hurt my master? Go to hell!” Ali stepped closer to Sui Zhan holding the blood-stained sword.
Sui Zhan was frightened and stepped back.
“You, you, do you know who I am?! If you dare to hurt me, you cannot get out of the capital!”
Ali sneered.
“Ali.”
When the sword in Ali’s hand was only an inch away from Sui Zhan’s eyebrows, Jinglan spoke.
“Let’s go back.”
Ali stared at Jinglan with dissatisfaction, while Jinglan in white looked at him with his innocent phoenix-look eyes.
In the end, Ali withdrew his sword after cutting Sui Zhan’s hair bun and taking the money bag on his waist.
After Ali and Jinglan left, the people watching the fun also dispersed.
“Your Grace, they are gone.”
“Turn around and go to Su Mansion.”
“Yes.”
At this time, Su Lun was still in the yamen.
Hearing that Su Muge was back, Zhao, who was dealing with affairs, hurriedly put aside her work to meet her. Even if she was her daughter, Su Muge was now the Rani of Jin, so she should make no mistake in the etiquette.
After getting the message, Old Lady Su pretended to be ill and lay down on her bed. It was impossible for her to go out to meet Su Muge!
As soon as Wang Yi helped Su Muge off the carriage, Zhao walked over.
“Your Grace, pay my respects to you.”
Su Muge stepped forward to help her up.
“Mother, hurry to get up.”
Zhao raised her head and her eyes turned red at the sight of Su Muge.
Su Muge was seriously injured as soon as she married the King of Jin. Zhao asked Su Lun to see her twice, but Su Muge was still in a coma at the time, so she didn’t know it.
Seeing Su Muge was fine now, she couldn’t hold back her tears.
“Mother, let’s go in first.”
“Okay, okay, let’s go in.”
As she replied, Zhao wiped away the tears in the corners of her eyes.
The mother and daughter helped each other to Peachblossom Courtyard. Now, Zhao lived alone in Peachblossom Courtyard.
“Carry the young master to me.” Su Muge missed Su Wenmo very much.
The nanny walked in holding Su Wenmo. After the salute, Su Muge took the child from the nanny.
It was cold now, and Su Wenmo was tightly wrapped up like a small ball, only exposing his small face. At this moment, he was looking at her with his big eyes.
“My dear Wenmo, do you miss your sister these days?”
The little guy tried hard to wave his little arm, but unfortunately, he was wearing so much that he couldn’t lift up his little hand at all.
Su Muge put her fingertip in his palm, and the little guy immediately reached out to grab her finger and put it into his mouth.
“Mother, Wenmo is teething again.”
“Yeah, now he would bite things all day long.”
Wenmo might be familiar with the smell of Su Muge and fell asleep in her arms in a while.
Su Muge handed him over to the nanny to carry him away.
“Mumu, how is your injury?” Zhao looked at Su Muge with concern.
“It has already recovered. Mother, don’t worry.”
Seeing her good complexion, Zhao nodded. “It’s great that you’re fine. I have gone to Jin Mansion before with your father. The King of Jin looks a little…cold, but I can feel that he is kind to you. Lead a good life with him and give birth to the heirs of the King of Jin, so that I can rest assured.”
Su Muge listened patiently and obediently without interrupting her.
Thinking that she had listened to her words, Zhao felt much more relieved.
“Mother, there is something I wonder if you have seen.”
Su Muge took out the purse and put it in front of Zhao.
Zhao picked it up and opened it with some doubt. When she saw what was inside, her face changed immediately!
“This… this is… how did you get it?” Zhao stared at Su Muge with her lips trembling uncontrollably.
Seeing Zhao’s reaction, Su Muge felt her heart sink little by little.
She recognized it.
“Mother, do you know what this is?”
Zhao subconsciously clenched her palms with flickering eyes.
Seeing that she was unwilling to speak, Su Muge asked all the girls in the room to retreat.
“Mother, whatever, you are my mother.”
Zhao’s eyes turned red again and she looked at Su Muge with her shivering body.
“Mumu, I, I’m sorry for you. Tell me where did you get this thing first.”
“It was given to me by a Madam who said that … she found it at the foot of a mountain.”
“At the foot of a mountain…” Zhao’s face was even paler.
Su Muge stood up, walked over to her, and held her hand. “Mother.”
Zhao whimpered and cried out.
Su Muge knew that she was venting her emotions, so she stopped asking her but just hugged her and patted her back gently.
After crying for a while, Zhao raised her head from Su Muge’s arms.
Su Muge poured the hot water on the stove into the basin and twisted a hot handkerchief to wipe Zhao’s face.
Zhao grabbed her hand and looked at her, saying in a dumb voice, “What do you want to know? I’ll tell you all.”
“Mother, just tell me what you know.” Su Muge said softly.
Zhao whispered, “Actually… you are not my biological daughter…”
