I'm reborn, only a fool would spoil you

Under the moonlight, Fu Yushu and Mu Shaoheng walked hand in hand along the forest path in early winter.

Maybe it was because Mu Shaoheng had confronted the old lady tonight;

Or maybe the old lady will leave the capital and be far away from me tomorrow;

Or maybe the marriage between Uncle San and Dieyi has finally been settled.

Anyway, at this moment, Fu Yushu's eyes and brows were full of joy.

"So happy?"

Mu Shaoheng glanced at his little wife and saw a long-lost smile on her face.

Long time no see?

Yes, ever since the old lady came to Beijing, Fu Yushu has obviously smiled less often. Her expression is either dull or her brows are slightly furrowed.

It’s been a long time since I’ve laughed from the bottom of my heart like tonight.

Mu Shaoheng's eyes fell on her eyebrows and he was reluctant to move his eyes away.

Being stared at nakedly by her husband, Fu Yushu felt a little nervous and shy.

At this moment, Mu Shaoheng spread out a big hand in front of her, with ten fingers slightly opened, and said: "Shu'er, hold it."

Fu Yushu: ...

I was a little confused for a moment.

I don't understand what man means at all.

However, she was very good and obediently stretched out her little hand... and gently covered the man's broad palm.

At this time, Mu Shaoheng smiled and said, "Shu'er, you should also open your fingers slightly like me, and let's do it... interlocking fingers."

Fingers clasped together?

Rumor has it that this is a silent expression of the love and affection between lovers.

Therefore, when Fu Yushu heard the words "fingers clasped together", she blushed involuntarily.

Suppressing her shame, she obediently spread out her ten fingers and then slowly slid them between the man's fingers.

As soon as it was inserted, Mu Shaoheng grasped her hand tightly and said with a smile:

"Shu'er, you ran in by yourself. I will lock you up for life and never let you escape again!"

Fu Yushu couldn't bear such sweet words and immediately lowered her head shyly.

Just at this moment, Mu Shaoheng added another sentence in her ear: "Okay?"

As a result, Fu Yushu's face, ears and neck became red at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a while, her originally white jade-like skin turned completely pink.

Looking at his shy little wife, Mu Shaoheng smiled in a good mood.

Afterwards, he stopped teasing her with words, but just held her little hand tightly with his fingers clasped together, and took her all the way back to the upper room which belonged to them alone.

As soon as I entered the upper courtyard, the gatekeeper brought me an invitation: "Your Majesty, Princess, this is from the residence of the Minister of Revenue (the Crown Princess's family)."

Fu Yushu was the mistress of the house, so it was natural for her to take over.

When he opened it, he found out that the wife of the Minister of Revenue (the Crown Princess's mother) was going to hold a plum blossom viewing banquet the day after tomorrow and had invited many couples, including Fu Yuzheng and Gao Ni.

This invitation was specifically for Fu Yushuo and Mu Shaoheng to go together.

Mu Shaoheng glanced at it and said with a smile, "Shu'er, I'm going to the southwest and can't accompany you. You can go and relax by yourself." Fu Yuzheng was also there, so the two sisters could have a chat.

Fu Yushu smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Mu Shaoheng put his arm around her waist and sent her back to the inner room. Then he went to the study to take care of some things.

Fu Yushu sat alone by the west window in the inner room and picked up the men's undershirt that she had not finished embroidering yesterday and continued embroidering it.

After a while, Qing Zhi came in and reported: "Princess, Xiang Ju is here."

Fragrant orange?

Fu Yushu thought for a while before she remembered that it was the maid who served the old lady. She nodded and said, "Let her in."

Xiangju knelt on the ground and whispered, "Princess, I have important information to report." After that, she secretly glanced at the maids serving in the room.

Fu Yushu understood and cleared the area immediately before asking, "Xiangju, what's going on?"

Xiangju knelt down beside the warm couch and said in a low voice:

"Princess, it's like this. Just as you and the prince left, the old lady angrily insulted the prince, 'ungrateful wolf, ungrateful wolf - an ungrateful wolf that can never be tamed -'"

An ungrateful person who can never be tamed?

This wording...

Fu Yushu couldn't help but frowned.

I don't know if I'm overthinking it, but I feel like there's something wrong with this wording. But I can't put my finger on what's wrong.

But it's weird for sure.

"Xiangju, you did a great job."

Fu Yushu took off a jade hairpin from her head, handed it to Xiangju, and smiled gently, "This is a reward for you."

"Thank you, Princess. I will follow you and work hard in the future." Xiangju lowered her head to show her loyalty.

Follow her?

Fu Yushu was stunned when he heard this, but fortunately he immediately remembered something.

——Tonight, Mu Shaoheng got angry and took back several maids that he had assigned to the old lady.

——He said that from today on, the old lady who did not appreciate her blessings would have to suffer a little, and would have to do all the things like serving tea, dressing and eating by herself.

From then on, these maids were separated from the old lady and naturally returned to Fu Yushu, the mistress of the house, who reassigned them.

Fu Yushu smiled and said softly, "Xiangju, there is something I need your help with."

Xiangju nodded without thinking: "I will let the princess order you."

"I need you to go back to the old lady and observe her every move for me. If there is anything unusual, please report it in time." Fu Yushu said in a low voice.

Xiangju understood that she was required to follow the old lady back to the southwest to monitor her.

She was a housewife who had been transferred from the southwest some time ago. Naturally, she was happy to return to the southwest and immediately accepted the job happily.

Fu Yushu smiled again and said, "Xiangju, from today on, your monthly salary will be doubled, and if you work hard, you will get extra rewards."

After saying that, he grabbed a handful of golden melon seeds and put them in her hand.

There is really nothing that can improve the enthusiasm of servants better than increasing monthly salary or giving them rewards. Xiangju immediately said that he would complete the task with high quality.

After seeing Xiangju off, Fu Yushu picked up the man’s undershirt and continued embroidering.

Unexpectedly, a quarter of an hour later, Xiangju hurried back and said solemnly:

"Princess, something terrible has happened. The old lady... the old lady accidentally broke her spine..."

Fu Yushu: ???

We have to set off back to the southwest early tomorrow morning. Did the old lady break her spine tonight?

So timely, such a coincidence?

Because the old lady had so many tricks up her sleeve, Fu Yushu, who had never suspected anyone, couldn't help but become suspicious tonight.

However, no matter whether it was true or not, she was the mother-in-law after all. Fu Yushu informed Mu Shaoheng immediately, and the couple hurried to the old lady's yard.

When they arrived, they saw a group of maids and servants surrounding the place, and the old lady was lying under the railing of the corridor, wailing.

"Ah... my back... my spine is broken..."

"It hurts... it hurts..."

After catching a glimpse of Mu Shaoheng, the old lady’s cries of pain became even more miserable: “Son, it hurts… it hurts… please ask the imperial physician to come, please ask the imperial physician to come.”

At this time, the court doctor came hurriedly carrying a medicine box.

Mu Shaoheng glanced at the palace doctor, squatted beside the old lady and said:

"Mother, it will take some time for the imperial physician to come out of the palace. Please let the court physician take a good look first to see where the injury is and whether it is serious."

When the old lady heard this, she immediately became angry: "Why, you don't want to ask the imperial physician to treat Xiao'er, but now you don't even want me to be treated?"

Mu Shaoheng: ...

Where did this begin?

After a moment of hesitation, Mu Shaoheng suddenly got angry:

"Mother, you can smile or not. You are the one who fell and got hurt, but you insisted on dragging Shen Yixiao into this? What exactly do you want to do?"

It seemed that he had been dissatisfied for a long time, and Mu Shaoheng couldn't help but turn his face away.

The old lady was not afraid at all, she lay on the ground and groaned:

"Mu Shaoheng, stop talking nonsense to me. Anyway, my spine is broken today, and I just want the imperial physician to see me! I just want the imperial physician—"

"As long as the imperial physician——"

Because the old lady refused to be treated by the palace doctor, there was nothing she could do but wait for the servant to invite the imperial physician from the palace.

This wait lasted for nearly half an hour.

Because the old lady refused the court doctor, others did not dare to move her for fear that their injuries would be aggravated by carelessness.

So, during the half hour of waiting, the old lady just lay on the cold bluestone floor.

Fu Yushu looked at this stubborn old lady without saying a word.

But she felt very strange. Even if the old lady did not trust the court doctor's medical skills, it would still be okay to let the court doctor take a general look at the seriousness of the injury, right?

It would be fine even if it is handed over to the imperial physician later.

But the old lady refused to even take a look, which was really... weird.

At this time, Fu Yushu caught a glimpse of Xiangju, called her over and asked softly, "When we lived in the southwest before, what did we do if the old lady got sick?"

Could it be that he refuses to let the court physician see him and has to invite a famous doctor from outside?

Xiangju shook her head and whispered, "When we were in the southwest, the old lady didn't have this problem. She would ask the palace doctor to see her if she had a headache or fever."

Hearing this, Fu Yushu felt even more weird.

Fortunately, the imperial physician arrived soon.

After a thorough inspection, the doctor said calmly:

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The old lady just accidentally hit her back, and it's a little painful because of her age. But her spine is fine, so there's no need to worry too much."

In other words, nothing happened.

Fu Yushu: ???

The weird feeling in my heart became stronger and stronger.

Mu Shaoheng was also slightly stunned.

But nothing is better than something. The next moment, Mu Shaoheng breathed a sigh of relief, personally helped the old lady up from the ground, and carried her into the house.

Unexpectedly, the old lady stopped and told the doctor:

"Doctor, we have another patient here. My nephew has several illnesses all at once and is very ill. Since you are here anyway, why don't you go and see him?"

"Please prescribe a few more doses of medicine. We will be returning to the southwest tomorrow. Please prescribe all the medicines for the next few months at once. It will completely cure him."

Mu Shaoheng: ...

When Fu Yushu saw this, he suddenly realized.

It turned out that the old lady was just pretending to be sick, and her ultimate goal was to invite a royal physician for her nephew!

This old lady is really kind to her nephew!

Mu Shaoheng's expression suddenly turned cold, and he ordered the servant, "Send the imperial physician back to the palace immediately."

In other words, other people do not need treatment.

As soon as these words were spoken, the imperial physician naturally ignored the old lady's intention and immediately bowed to Mu Shaoheng and said goodbye.

The old lady got anxious when she saw this, and immediately glared at him: "Mu Shaoheng, what do you mean? Xiao'er is your cousin!"

"The meaning is very clear, don't bring shame to the palace." Mu Shaoheng said bluntly, "It's just a syphilis, it's not enough for the court doctor to treat it, but you have to report it to the Imperial Hospital?

Mu Shaoheng also has his dignity to save.

The old lady was so anxious that she yelled, "You know nothing. Xiao'er has been treated for half a year, but the disease keeps coming back. It can't be cured at all!"

Mu Shaoheng laughed angrily: "You can't cure it? Blame it on poor medical skills? Going to brothels less often is better than anything else!"

The brothels are full of women who have been fucked by thousands and slept with tens of thousands. It would be strange if you could have any fun with them every night!

Instead of seeing a doctor, keeping oneself clean is better than anything else.

The old lady was so angry that her lungs ached.

Seeing that the imperial physician turned a corner and disappeared, the old lady was so anxious that she didn't want to argue with Mu Shaoheng anymore. She pushed Mu Shaoheng away and wanted to rush up to call the imperial physician back.

Mu Shaoheng refused to let her have her way, and he grabbed the old lady's shoulders and took her to her room: "Mother, stop making fun of yourself, and go back to your room."

How could the old lady agree to that?

While shouting: "Doctor, come back... come back..."

At the same time, he tried his best to break free from Mu Shaoheng's shackles.

As a result, the old lady fell to the ground during the struggle.

As luck would have it, there was a sharp pebble lying on the ground, and when she fell, her kneecap hit the tip of the pebble.

With a crisp "crack", the kneecap cracked.

“Ah——” The old lady’s scream went straight into the sky.

The imperial physician really couldn't leave, so he hurried back to check...

Well, the elderly lady really had a bone fracture this time, and a small piece of her kneecap was broken.

I'll be a cripple for the rest of my life.
