The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

After listening to Meng Wenyao's words, the old lady not only did not calm down, but became even more angry.

"What do you mean? Our Marquis Mansion has always been Fang'er's natal family. Do you want to control Fang'er because I am old?"

Meng Wenyao was simply baffled. This old lady was unhappy because she saw Wu Qinfang getting married, so she was deliberately looking for trouble.

She rolled up her sleeves and started arguing with the old lady.

"Grandma, you are worried that Fang'er will be wronged if she marries outside. It was originally agreed that Fang'er would be the concubine of the Marquis, but you and Fang'er were not willing to do so. You disliked the Marquis for being unable to have children. Now that Fang'er has married into a good family, what are you going to do? I still regret it, if you are really unhappy, we can snatch Fang'er back before her wedding date and stuff her into the Marquis' room to fulfill your wish."

Meng Wenyao started talking loudly, which made the old lady angrily poke the ground with her walking stick.

"When have I ever disliked Qingping?"

"Then you asked the Marquis to take a concubine in the morning. How come the Marquis was diagnosed as infertile by the imperial doctor, but in the afternoon he didn't mention it and quickly married Wu Qinfang."

The old lady was blocked by Meng Wenyao and couldn't say a word, but she was the old lady. Who could make her angry after so many years? She then pretended to be dizzy.

"my head……"

Before she could finish her sentence, the old lady fainted outside the second door.

At this time, Huo Qingping just returned from an outing. When he saw the old lady fainting, he hurriedly shouted: "Go and ask the doctor quickly."

"Master Hou, I didn't mean it..."

Before Meng Wenyao could finish her words, Huo Qingping quickly walked around the stunned Meng Wenyao and strode away with the fainted old lady in his arms.

It was as if Meng Wenyao was not seen at all.

"Miss, the Marquis may be in a bad mood because his cousin is getting married today." Lamei reminded him.

"I know."

Meng Wenyao was a little dejected. It turned out that even if Wu Qinfang got married, her influence would still be in this house all the time.

"Miss, if you are in a bad mood, let's go for a walk. You haven't been to Mengji Noodle Shop for a long time."

It seems so, but the important people and things have been arranged. It won't have any impact if Meng Wenyao doesn't go. Qian Xiuxian can't jump around anyway.

"Let's talk about it. Let's go see the old lady first."

After much trouble, the imperial doctor stabilized the old lady's condition. Meng Wenyao looked at Huo Qingping with some remorse and apologized with difficulty.

"Master Hou, it's my fault today. What I said was unpleasant and made the old lady angry."

Huo Qingping, who had been sitting alone, did not raise his head and said tiredly: "You go back to sleep first, I will guard the old lady tonight."

Meng Wenyao's heart sank suddenly, wondering whether Huo Qingping's low pressure was for Wu Qinfang or the old lady.

She spoke again: "Master Hou, please tell me what I did wrong, otherwise I won't know why you are angry."

Hearing this, Huo Qingping finally raised his head, took a long breath and said, "I'm really tired, let's talk tomorrow."

Meng Wenyao reluctantly said goodbye and left. She walked to the courtyard of Rongan Hall, looked up at the bright moonlight, and suddenly felt very tired. She had been trying for several months, but had made no progress.

Anyway, Wu Qinfang was married now, and she was afraid that the bridal chamber would be over and she would never come back to pester Huo Qingping again. She might as well give Huo Qingping the elixir tonight.

After thinking about this, she immediately went to the side hall to ask for a bowl of water, secretly put the elixir in it, and carried it into the old lady's inner room.

"Master Hou, I have found a pair of the folk remedies I mentioned to you before. Can you try it?"

Huo Qingping looked at the turbid soup in front of him, looked at Meng Wenyao's expectant eyes, shook his head and drank the medicine.

Put down the bowl, hold Meng Wenyao's hand and leave.

"Let's go back and rest."

"Aren't you going to guard the old lady?"

"I have to guard, but you are so persistent that if I don't go back, you may come in three or five times again."

Listening to the doting in Huo Qingping's tone, Meng Wenyao's depression was swept away, and she asked tentatively: "Master Marquis, do you blame me for making the old lady faint?"

"Why do I blame you? I heard that the old lady was knocked out by Fang'er once when she was in the temple. The last time the doctor came over and told me that I couldn't have children, she was knocked out again. From the looks of it, it looks like she is probably too old to withstand the stimulation. Fang'er is getting married today, so she will inevitably feel uneasy, so I can't blame you."

Unexpectedly, Huo Qingping had such thoughts in his heart. Meng Wenyao felt relaxed instantly and asked again: "Then why is the Marquis so worried?"

"I have been investigating the grain storage in the Ministry of Revenue these days, and I found that in several warehouses of the Ministry of Revenue, the grain and grass are mixed with a lot of sand. If it is directly brought to the court, things will change."

He looked up at the moon, his brows furrowed and his expression solemn.

He lowered his head and saw that Meng Wenyao was getting worried. He rubbed her head and said, "You don't understand the affairs of the court, so don't worry about it."

"Ah."

Huo Qingping suddenly lowered his head and whispered into Meng Wenyao's ear, and his warm breath penetrated into Meng Wenyao's ear: "Do you have anything else to ask?"

Meng Wenyao, who was frightened by the sudden intimacy, blushed and whispered: "Did the Marquis have a fever in his abdomen after taking the medicine?"

"Go back and touch it yourself."

After saying that, Huo Qingping suddenly picked up Meng Wenyao and walked to the room.

It was a pity that he fell asleep when he returned to the room. Meng Wenyao had no chance to test when the pill would take effect.

Early the next morning, Meng Wenyao got up and went to Rong'an Hall to attend to her illness, but was told that the old lady didn't want to see her.

What a huge surprise. She was thinking about how to reduce the number of greetings in the future. Who likes to be scolded and found fault every day.

It was so good that she was bored and thought of Meng Qingya's invitation, so she simply went to Meng's house to have a look.

Meng Qingya, who was thinking about how to take revenge on Meng Wenyao and ruin her reputation, heard that Meng Wenyao asked her to meet at the Meng Mansion.

He quickly found a servant from the Meng Mansion and ran to Jiangdong Mixiang.

"Shopkeeper Su, our lady returned to the Meng Mansion today and was praising you for your business skills and introducing you to Mrs. Meng."

Su He, who was shrewd and capable, heard that Meng Wenyao sent someone to look for him. He was not as shrewd as before and immediately followed that person to Meng's Mansion.

When Meng Wenyao arrived at Meng Mansion, Meng Qingya was already waiting for her.

"Now that my sister has a noble status, it is extremely difficult to see her!"

It was just a sour remark. Meng Wenyao immediately retorted: "Sister, if you miss me so much, just go to the Hou Mansion."

Sure enough, Meng Qingya's face stiffened for a moment, and she knew that she had a psychological shadow. Meng Wenyao said with a smile: "It seems that my sister is just talking about it, but she really misses her."

Meng Qingya snorted lightly, not wanting to take advantage of Meng Wenyao, and said bluntly: "I said last time that I asked the Marquis to help run the business and let your brother-in-law join the household department. What do you say now?"
