Chapter 915: The Young Marquis's Broken Engagement Wife (37)
This mother and son probably both think that since they have the face, there is no need to give money elsewhere.
Fang Yunniang hadn't seen Huo Qingyang for a few days. Seeing him "paralyzed" on the bed, tears started to flow again: "Huo Lang..."
Just as she was about to move towards Huo Qingyang, she heard Madam Huo say, "You are a girl from a good family, how can you behave like this? You have no manners to stand like this. If you have something to say, please talk to me nicely. My son is injured now, and I can't hold you."
After hearing this, Fang Yunniang stopped and looked at Huo Qingyang with some grievance.
Huo Qingyang was dazzled by her pitiful appearance as a young white flower, and felt that he should protect such a fragile woman.
But after living a life of luxury for so many years, Fang Yunniang was no longer as delicate and frail as she was in her youth. She looked no different from other wealthy ladies. So when she showed an expression again, Huo Qingyang did not enjoy it as much as before.
In addition, his recent foot injury is imminent, so he has no interest in playing such fun with Fang Yunniang.
Huo Qingyang frowned slightly and said, "Yunniang, please go down first! Mother and I have something important to discuss. Don't go out for the next few days, especially don't leave your room. I heard that the security in Youcheng has been a bit bad lately."
Fang Yunniang bowed resentfully and left the room with her maid.
Mrs. Huo's mood suddenly brightened when she saw this scene. She felt very proud: "Son! That's right. A good man can be trapped by a woman!
Tomorrow I will go to Shangguan's house and ask Xiaojin to come and treat my legs. Don't worry, she is a well-mannered child, I will definitely be able to invite her."
Mrs. Huo did not delay at all and went to the general's mansion early the next morning.
This is how Shangguan Ruojin "entered" the old lady in his own living room.
Mrs. Huo looked at Shangguan Ruojin's familiar face and was a little surprised for a moment!
After so many years, she hasn't changed at all, still as bright and charming as ever, looking youthful.
I thought a woman who had been hurt by love would be more or less depressed, but looking at Shangguan Ruojin's current appearance, she seemed more cheerful.
"Xiao Jin! After not seeing you for so many years, you're still as beautiful as ever!" Old Madam Huo changed her cold demeanor towards Fang Yunniang and said in a kind tone, "You're really something. You've been gone for so many years and haven't even thought of returning to the capital."
"My uncle is in Jiangnan, and my uncle and brother are in Youcheng! There are really no people or things in the capital worth my concern, so I naturally won't go back." Shangguan Ruojin ordered someone to serve tea to Mrs. Huo.
But after the tea arrived, Madam Huo took a sip and couldn't help but frown: "Xiao Jin, life in Youcheng is a bit hard! I remember you wouldn't drink this kind of old tea before."
The princesses personally appointed by the emperor would usually receive rewards every year when the new tea came in, but few people in the capital knew Shangguan Ruojin's whereabouts, so many of her favors were lost.
Shangguan Ruojin took the milk tea handed over by the maid and said, "In winter, there are milk tea and red date soup. In summer, there are so many good things in this world. Why do you have to stick to just one?
To be honest with Madam Huo, although the border town may seem poor, the supplies are quite abundant, so I haven't suffered much! Don't look at the old tea in your hand, it is excellent for boiling milk.
She originally wanted to "sympathize" with the other party, but in the end the other party took the initiative. Mrs. Huo was no longer in the mood.
Although she was slapped in the face, she had to do today's business. She took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped her cheek. The corner of the handkerchief just brushed against the corner of her eye.
This is an old trick of the noble ladies in Beijing. When they have to cry but are afraid that they can't, they can do this to achieve their goal very well.
But most of the people who do this are young women. After all, the pitiful role is more interesting when it is performed by a beautiful woman.
People of Madam Huo's generation have long since stopped doing this.
But today, for the sake of her son, she really had to use the trump card she had when she was young.
Fortunately, the nanny who prepared the medicated oil for her was quite accurate, so after applying it, Mrs. Huo's eyes only turned slightly red, but no tears fell.
Shangguan Ruojin glanced at him and thought—hmm! He felt like he was being very vulnerable, yet still pretending to be strong.
However, as a doctor, she was very sensitive to smells. When the handkerchief appeared, Shangguan Ruojin smelled the unique smell of medicinal oil.
Before Madam Huo could speak, Shangguan Ruojin deliberately covered her nose and said, "Madam, what did you sprinkle on your handkerchief? Why does it smell like medicine?"
