Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

After Dong Jiafu left, Qi's mother fed the old lady and finished drinking the medicine.

"This soup is really bitter..." The old lady covered her mouth with a handkerchief, her facial features wrinkled together.

"Good medicine tastes bitter. If you suffer for another month at most, you won't have to endure the torture of back disease every year." Qi's mother put the medicine bowl on the tray and persuaded with a smile.

"It's too early to say this now. Only half of the roots may be eradicated, and the other half may be in vain." After wiping the corners of her mouth, the old lady put down the handkerchief in her hand. Her face relaxed slightly, but there was a smile in her eyes. Seeing through the vicissitudes of the world, he said, "Anyway, I prepared for the worst."

"Old Madam, please don't think so. I look at Dr. Tan as a man with excellent medical skills. And Miss Dong, she is also very concerned about your old illness. She took the acupuncture very seriously these two times. You have to think on the bright side. , maybe this time the medicine will cure the disease."

"I'm afraid that the more I hold on to hope, the final result will not be good and the more I will be disappointed. It's better not to have hope at the beginning so that I can bear it when the time comes."

For decades, the old lady really didn’t dare to think too much about something that even the imperial doctors couldn’t do anything about. Then she also thought of Dong Jiafu.

"That girl is indeed thoughtful. I forced her to leave the Duke's Mansion. Now she not only doesn't care, but comes to my door to help me, she also tries her best to help me get rid of the root cause of the disease. It's rare to see a child with this kind of character. To be honest, she doesn't care. "It was because of her hard work that I agreed to let her try."

"I thought you still had a grudge against her." Qi's mother said with a smile.

The old lady glanced at her and leaned back on the soft pillow behind her, "Although I have survived a lot,

She's old, but not yet a fool, so she can't be entirely blamed for this. I can't say that I know her very well, but I watched Qiyan grow up, and he is not the kind of person who only cares about appearance. That girl can catch his eye, and make him not hesitate to contradict me, and even want to marry her without becoming the heir, there must be something he values ​​​​about her. "

"The girl's status in the past could not make her our daughter-in-law. If she followed Qi Yan, she would definitely become a thorn in the side of Qi Yan's wife. I let her go for their sake and for the future of our Dingguo Palace. "

After listening to what the old lady said, Qi's mother couldn't help but ask: "Now that Miss Dong's background is worthy of being our prince's wife, does the old lady oppose them?"

"What's the use of my objection?" The old lady raised her eyes, "You have also seen that Qi Yan has never let go of her. In the past few days since she came to the house, not only did he have the most capable Ji Bai around him to pick her up, but now he also sent He has a maid to accompany him, which shows that he is determined to marry that girl."

"I can't control Qiyan's temper even if I want to. If I get impatient, he will just follow the same example and say he doesn't want to be the heir apparent anymore, which makes the whole family uneasy."

Mother Qi thought for a moment and said: "I remember one thing. A few days ago, when Miss Dong came to do your rocking exercises, the prince would always come back to see you. Every time, it happened to be shortly after Miss Dong left. Could it be that the prince also came back to see you? To meet Miss Dong?”

The old lady was stunned for a moment, and when she thought carefully about what was really going on, she immediately felt uncomfortable.

"I thought he was so filial, but it turned out that seeing me was just an excuse. He really wanted to see that girl."

Upon hearing this, Qi's mother immediately regretted saying this more.

He quickly consoled her: "It's true that the prince wants to see Miss Dong, and it's true that he's worried about you. You know it."

"What do I know? He becomes more capable as he grows older, and he is not as sensible as when he was young."

"The prince still respects you. When your waist disease broke out, the prince was really anxious."

After all, she is the eldest grandson she cares about most. The old lady sighed helplessly, "My selfish feelings are still towards Sui'er. She has a half-year-old child by herself and her life is too difficult. If Qi Yan can marry her, The Duke's Mansion can keep her safe throughout her life, and I will have one less thing to worry about."

Qi's mother hesitated and said: "Old madam, I have something to say, please don't be angry."

"Just say what you want to say. You've been by my side for most of your life, so there's nothing else you can't say." The old lady sat on the bed for a long time, stretched out her hand and said, "Help me go down and take a walk."

"Oh," Qi's mother hurriedly stepped forward, "slow down..."

The old lady stood up and walked back and said, "If you have anything to say, please tell me."

"I know that you have more love for Miss Qin because of the old lady of the Qin family, and you want to take care of them. In fact, if you want to take care of them, you don't have to let the prince marry Miss Qin. You feel sorry for her, and you have to consider it. As for the prince's feelings, if the prince likes her, everyone will be happy. But since the prince doesn't like her, it's hard to force her into a match. This will not be a good thing for either the prince or Miss Qin. "

Mother Qi walked slowly in the house with the old lady, "In this huge capital, our son is not the only son with a good family background and good conduct. If the old lady is still worried about Miss Qin, you can help her find another one." Good family.

Now, coupled with the fact that the young master Qin will inherit the title of Marquis Weiyuan in a few years, and have Duke Dingguo's Mansion and Marquis Weiyuan's Mansion as his backers, Miss Qin will definitely not be wronged in her husband's family. "

"Old madam, do you think so?" Qi's mother quietly looked at the old madam's expression.

The old lady thought for a while and nodded gently, "What you said makes some sense."

Mother Qi was overjoyed and said, "Just don't think I'm talking nonsense."

"You can't force a cow to drink water." Further ahead is the door. The old lady turned around and continued walking back. "Since Qi Yan is unwilling to marry Sui'er no matter what, we can't force it anymore. They Both of them are old, especially Sui'er. It's time to find a good marriage for her as soon as possible. "

"Yes, with you taking care of Miss Qin, I will definitely find a good family."

"It's just that I need to tell Sui'er about this first. I'll ask her when she comes back next time."

Qi's mother walked back and forth with the old lady again. She felt that the old lady must be tired, so she helped her sit down and rest.

Dong Jialin was very depressed during this period and couldn't find the energy to do anything.

On this day, as usual, he went to the bookstore first and walked around. The clerk in the bookstore said to him: "Master, when will future customers get new stories? Many regular customers came to ask about the three stories we had before. They have already watched it several times, so they just want to see something new..."

Realizing that Dong Jialin was lost in thought and didn't seem to be listening, the waiter stopped and shouted: "My boss, my boss——"

"Ah," Dong Jialin turned around with a confused look on his face, "What's the matter?"

"I said that our bookstore would be able to stock newer novels for future customers, and regular customers have come to ask about it several times."

"Oh, she's been a little busy recently and can't take care of it.

I'll tell her about writing a new story book when she's not busy anymore. Dong Jialin said casually.

The waiter looked at him and said, "Boss, are you worried about something lately? Why are you always so distracted?"

"It's okay, you take a good look at the store, and I'll go to the teahouse to have a look." Dong Jialin said and left the bookstore.
