C42 (1/2)
Zhu Tong said with a smile: ”That is simple. Quasi-wangfei can just give me five days.”
”What I want is not an ordinary fake pregnancy drug. I want a pill that can cause an attack if it is pushed a little bit. It also has the symptoms of a small pregnancy.”
Zhu Tong thought for a while, then said: ”Then, I need to research and develop it for two weeks.”
Xue Ronghua laughed, ”As long as you can concoct this fake pregnancy pill, it won't hurt even if it's for a month.”
Little Zhui asked curiously: ”Miss, what do you want the fake pregnancy pill for? It can't be that you want it for yourself, right?”
”Of course not, I just thought of a good way to suppress the arrogance of the Madam Ye and Xue Liuhua.”
”What method?”
Xue Ronghua revealed a sly smile, ”Little Zhui, how many concubines did our master in the Xue Residence marry?”
Little Zhui counted silently in her heart, ”Besides the Young Miss' biological mother, there are also three other aunties.”
Xue Ronghua asked: ”How are these three concubines, are they okay with each other?”
Little Zhui shook her head in distress, ”These three concubines are tough to deal with women. When they used to look at Eldest Miss and Madam, they started to insult Miss, and when they bullied Miss, they would mock her, especially that Aunt Min who was kind to Miss, but her subordinates pushed her down from the stairs.”
Xue Ronghua frowned slightly, ”Aunt Min? What part of her house is it that I have never seen before? ”
”Aunt Min is beautiful. Madam thinks that she is too foxy and often comes out to distract the Master and can't focus on the government. Thus, I told her to stay well at the Western Courtyard.”
Xue Ronghua's heart was moved, and she asked: ”Since the Aunt Min is so beautiful, then she is the favorite of the old master?”
”Of course, aside from Madam, Aunt Min is the one that Old Master visits the most.”
A trace of ruthlessness flashed past Xue Ronghua's eyes: ”Then, just use this Aunt Min that once pushed me down the stairs, the one that my father loved, as our target.”
”Are we going to use the fake pregnancy on Aunt Min?” Little Zhui said in surprise, ”Then the Madam will definitely be furious. What she is most afraid of is that these aunties have children.”
Xue Ronghua sneered: ”Not only will I anger Madam Ye to death, I will also knock him down.”
Madam Ye had already come to the point of sending assassins to kill her, she did not have much time to fight a prolonged battle and had to seize the opportunity to firmly grasp the Prime Minister's Mansion in her hands.
The sunlight was especially warm today. Aunt Min was leaning on the west garden pavilion as she basked in the sun, her scallion like fingers gently pinching a sparkling and translucent grape into her mouth. This unripe grape was truly sour to the point of her frowning, but if she could borrow this sour stuff to give birth to a son for her master, she would be able to endure it even more.
A servant girl hurriedly came in and said, ”Second Aunt, Second …” ”Second Miss is here.”
Aunt Min was startled. Second Miss? It's not just Xue Ronghua, she had never come here before, why would she come here today?
”Then invite her in.”
When Xue Ronghua saw her, she smiled sweetly and gracefully, and said with a smile: ”Rong Hua greets Second Aunt, and greets Second Aunt.”
The Aunt Min smirked and asked, ”Yo, isn't the second young miss staying at the East Garden? How come you have the time to come to the Western Courtyard to find me?”
raised his head, it was indeed Xue Longhu's concubine. Aunt Min looked to be about three or four years older than Xue Liuhua, her phoenix eyes slightly raised, her pupils moving about, her skin even more fair and smooth under the illumination of the sunlight.
Xue Ronghua could not help but sigh inwardly. Although she gave off a sharp aura the moment she opened her mouth, she was indeed very beautiful.
”I was severely ill a few days ago, so I didn't have the time to see Aunt. Please forgive me.”
Aunt Min did not eat this, ”If you don't want to come, then do not come, don't waste your time on anything.”
Xue Ronghua was unhappy in her heart, but she still needed her help to complete the plan, so she forced out a smile, ”If Aunt said it like that, then I hate Ronghua, but Ronghua thanked Aunt for her care in the past, and wanted to give her a gift.”
Aunt Min remained silent. In the past, she was harsh to Xue Ronghua, and had even pretended to be careless and push her down. What did Xue Ronghua have to thank her for?
”Really? Then, what kind of gift is it?”
Little Zhui immediately held onto the large bag of medicine tied with hemp rope with both hands, ”Please accept, Second Aunt.”
Aunt Min asked curiously: Is this medicine inside? What do I need medicine for if I'm not sick? ”
Xue Ronghua smiled and said: ”Medicines can only be used to treat illnesses, I brought this medicine over as a gift from an imperial physician in the palace congratulating me on becoming a quasi wangfei. It's a pity that this doctor calculated wrongly, and up until now, I have not entered the Prince Duan Palace, afraid that I will waste all the precious medicinal herbs in the palace, and so I gave it to Aunt.”
The Aunt Min curiously pulled out a corner of the medicine bag.
Xue Ronghua saw that her stiff face loosened slightly, and whispered next to her ear, ”This is a good medicine that can help women give birth to boys. I heard that it was this medicine that Noble Consort Kang consumed in the past that gave birth to Prince Jin, don't worry, Aunt.”
The word ”male” caught the Aunt Min's attention. She felt a burst of joy in her heart, but then she asked doubtfully: ”Why didn't you give it to Madam as such a good medicine?”
Xue Ronghua acted as if she was in a difficult situation, ”The First Wife is really too old to bear children anymore … ”Ah, how can I say such unlucky things?”
Aunt Min was very proud. Being young was really something, she thought that Madam Ye was firmly stuck between her and the Old Master, and had yet to give birth to a son. If by any chance she could give birth to a new boy, her status would definitely rise greatly, and she would even be able to be on equal footing with the Madam Ye.
”Second Miss sure has a good heart. She intentionally left this medicine for me.”
”The saddest thing for father is that no son can inherit the family business. The first wife no longer has any hope, and only the second aunt, whom father dotes on the most, can shoulder this heavy responsibility.” Xue Ronghua replied respectfully.
