On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Yinding looked down and saw a bag of beef jerky in his arms.

He was stunned and looked at the abbot again.

The abbot said expressionlessly, "I know you like to eat this. I am a vegetarian, so I will give these to you."

Yinding's eyes turned red: "Abbot..."

The abbot twisted the beads and said, "Alright, hold back your tears. Number One Guard, why are you crying?"

Yinding said seriously: "Abbot, I will treat you well in the future."

The abbot thought to himself, you are a smart boy.

Then I heard Yinding say: "I will take care of you in your old age and see you to the end of your life."

Abbot: “…” Thank you.

"I will live well."

pissed off.

……

The next morning, Yan Ruyu got up early, went to the eldest lady's yard to have breakfast, and put on makeup for the eldest lady.

Beibei was also called over. He had to take care of the big things, while Yan Ruyu would take care of the small details.

The eldest lady was very interested and kept looking at herself in the mirror.

"Hey, tell me, which step did I miss? I didn't even blink, how did it become like this all of a sudden?"

The lady in the mirror seemed to be twenty years older, with frowns spreading around her eyes, a little frown on her forehead, slightly drooping corners of her mouth, and deeper nasolabial folds.

Don’t underestimate these few changes; that face looks like it has been wiped by the hand of time.

Yan Ruyu made some details for her: her eyebrows were lighter, her eyelids drooped a little, some small spots were added to her face, and the hair on her forehead was dyed a little white.

As the eldest lady smiled, she became a little sad.

"Oh, you see, this person gets old so quickly. It's hard to be young again."

Yan Ruyu comforted him, "How is it difficult? When you come back, take off your mother's makeup and she will be young again. Besides, beauty is in the bones and in the heart, and mother is smart and wise. Time is the only treasure she can gain."

The eldest lady smiled happily: "Yu'er is still good at talking, really, I am happy again."

Huo Changhe came in from outside and was stunned when he saw the changes in the eldest lady.

I can't help feeling a little sad.

Seeing that he looked unhappy, the eldest lady teased him: "What's wrong? Seeing your mother getting old, you can't bear to leave her?"

Huo Changhe nodded but said nothing.

Seeing that Huo Changhe seemed serious, Yan Ruyu turned around and went to the outer room to wash her hands. Beibei also had the foresight to leave silently.

Yan Ruyu couldn't help but think of her grandfather. She wondered where the old man was now and whether he was doing well.

If you can be like the abbot, it would be good too. But don't end up in the capital. Not only is it far away, it is also not an easy place to stay. With the old man's temper, you might offend a lot of people.

While I was lost in thought, I heard hurried footsteps in the yard.

The housekeeper in the Madam's courtyard came forward and said, "Princess, Madam Cao said she wants to see you for something urgent."

"Where are people?"

"At the gate," the maid handed over a note, "Mrs. Cao said it was urgent, so she won't come in. You'll know it when you see it."

Yan Ruyu unfolded the note and immediately frowned.

Huo Changhe came out from inside, raising the curtain: "What's wrong?"

"Madam Cao is here. The Mu family... the descendants of Duke Dingguo, came to Madam Cao and said that Madam Mu suddenly became seriously ill."

"Mrs. Cao said that if I didn't want to go, she would go back for me."

The eldest lady also came out of the house: "Madam Mu? She was just mentioned yesterday, how come..."

The Mu family did not have much contact with the palace. Madam Mu and the first lady had met a few times, and she had come to the palace twice with the other ladies.

She is the sick one now, and no one in the Mu family dares to go directly to the palace to ask Yan Ruyu for help, so they can only ask Madam Cao for help.

Yan Ruyu said, "Mother, Prince, human life is of paramount importance. Since you have come to me with your request, there is no reason for me to stand by and watch you die."

"I guess this Madam Mu is pretty good, otherwise Madam Cao wouldn't have helped and wouldn't have come to visit."

The eldest lady nodded: "Indeed, when we met before, although Madam Mu was not very generous, she was also dignified and had a good temperament. Let's go and take a look. We can go to the temple any day."

Yan Ruyu hesitated for a moment, then said to Huo Changhe, "Your Highness, please stay at home with your mother and wait for my news. I will let Linlang accompany me. If it is not serious and will be over soon, then let Linlang deliver the letter, and you will accompany your mother to pick me up, and we will go to Shenyuan Temple together."

"If the condition is complicated and serious and I come back late, then we may have to postpone it to another day."

Huo Changhe asked: "Can you go by yourself?"

"Let Changhe accompany you. I'm at home. What's there for him to accompany me?" the eldest lady said quickly.

"I have Madam Cao and Linlang with me. It's okay. The prince is a man and cannot enter the backyard. That's it. I'll go back and get the medicine box."

Yan Ruyu quickly returned to the yard, picked up the medicine box, called Linlang, and left the house together.

Mrs. Cao came in a carriage and was waiting at the gate of the mansion, pacing back and forth.

Seeing Yan Ruyu coming out, he hurried to meet her.

Yan Ruyu said, "Madam, why don't you wait in the carriage? It's so cold."

"I'm here to ask the princess for help. How can I wait in the car? Let's get in the car and talk."

"Madam Mu has always been soft-hearted," Madam Cao said quickly, and as things were urgent, she went straight to the point. "Although she married Brigadier General Mu as his second wife, she was still his principal wife, and she even gave birth to a son, but she was always suppressed."

Yan Ruyu was puzzled: "Who suppressed her? Miss Mu?"

Madam Cao sighed, "Did the eldest lady tell you? The daughter of General Mu's deceased wife has a really bad temper... I thought Madam Mu's life would be better after she got married, but it hasn't been long since she was divorced again."

"Why was he divorced?" Yan Ruyu also asked the owner of the Qian family's spice shop, but the owner didn't know.

This kind of thing must have been kept secret.

Many people didn’t even know that Miss Mu was divorced and thought it was a divorce by amicable consent.

"It's said that he has no children, and he doesn't allow his concubines to get pregnant, and forces them to drink contraceptive soup. That's fine, but it's not good that the eldest son is not born of the law."

"However, a concubine followed her husband out for a few days, and she got pregnant. Since she was pregnant, any mistress would feel bad, but she always had to think about the overall situation. But she didn't. She gave the concubine a bowl of medicine, and the concubine not only had a miscarriage, but also had heavy bleeding. She almost lost her life."

Yan Ruyu frowned slightly, not knowing whether to feel sympathy or hatred for Miss Mu.

"Because of this?"

"Not only that, the child is gone, and I barely managed to survive. I can't have another child in the future. Even if I'm disabled, that family isn't a good person, and they won't do anything to Miss Mu for a concubine."

"At most, they would just scold her and make her kneel down to the ancestors, but she insisted that she was in the right. Her mother-in-law was so angry that she wanted to punish her, so she beat her mother-in-law as well. It was just a coincidence that her mother-in-law hit her on the steps and her arm was broken."

"It's all over now. All old and new accounts have been settled. I've opened the ancestral hall, invited the clan leader, written a divorce letter, and divorced her."

"I heard that when she came back, she brought nothing with her except a personal maid, and all her dowry was left to someone else. Her personality was so extreme that no one stood on her side."
