Chapter 914: The Young Marquis's Broken Engagement Wife (36)
Upon hearing the name "Shangguan Ruojin", Mrs. Huo was visibly stunned, but she immediately said happily, "Really? That's great! I'd even give a discount to the others!"
If it's Xiao Jin, then she's someone you can absolutely trust. What are you waiting for? Hurry up and invite her to the inn so she can start treatment right away!"
Huo Qingyang glanced at the two imperial doctors present, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
No one knows a child better than his mother. Mrs. Huo immediately understood and asked everyone else to leave.
"Son! What's wrong with you?" Mrs. Huo knew her son's pride and thought he was too embarrassed to ask Shangguan Ruojin for help, so she tried to persuade him, "It's already late, healing your leg is the most important thing. Since she has a solution, let's listen to her."
Huo Qingyang shook his head, his expression somewhat wilted as he said, "Mom, you don't understand. She hates me! She hates me very much now."
Mrs. Huo thought her son would say something, but in the end the only word he could come up with was "hate."
This bastard, he still doesn’t know what’s important and what’s not at all important at this age. What’s wrong with “hating” him? As long as his legs can be cured, he can hate him.
"Is love and hate that important?" Old Madam Huo was a little disgusted with Huo Qingyang at this moment. If he wasn't her only son and he wasn't injured, she would probably have taken action. "What's wrong with hating you? Any woman would hate you for what you did back then.
Now, as long as she can heal your leg, even if it means kneeling down and kowtowing to her, it will be worth it! You have to know that you have no children yet. If it is confirmed that you are disabled, this title will most likely be lost.
Did His Majesty really arrange for two imperial doctors to accompany me this time just to treat your injuries? His Majesty has been wanting to strike down the nobles for a long time, and families like us who only have titles but no real power are definitely the first to be targeted.
At this point, Mrs. Huo wanted to twist the head of this disappointing son off. She and her husband had paved such a good road for him, but he refused to take it.
The love between the young couple lasted for several years and everything else was delayed.
The mother and son were talking when they heard a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Old Madam Huo was unhappy that someone was interrupting her and her son while they were discussing important matters, so her voice sounded particularly harsh.
Fang Yunniang, who was outside the door, heard in the room that her mother-in-law and aunt, Mrs. Huo, had arrived, so she thought of going to Huo Qingyang's yard to pay her respects to the elders.
It’s not that Fang Yunniang really wants to see the other person, but she is afraid that if she is rude, she will be punished again!
When Fang Yunniang heard what Mrs. Huo said, she was still a little scared. After all, she had been punished countless times over the years.
The little girl beside her reminded: "Auntie, the old lady is asking questions!"
After eating the melon leaves a few times, the girl became much more alert.
"Aunt, it's me. I heard you were here, so I thought of coming to see you!" Fang Yunniang's voice sounded outside the door.
After hearing what she said, Mrs. Huo realized that Fang Yunniang was not living in the same room with her son this time. She took a quick look at the furnishings in the room and really did not find any of the woman's belongings.
Then she said with considerable satisfaction, "That's right. The distinction between the master and the subordinate, the legitimate and the illegitimate, must be made clearly. It seems my son has made some progress on this trip."
But no matter how much she disliked him, Madam Huo couldn't really leave him alone. After coughing lightly, she said, "Come in!"
Fang Yunniang outside the door breathed a sigh of relief, but became even more nervous.
She entered the room in a proper manner and bowed respectfully, taking every step very carefully: "Greetings, aunt!"
"Well! At this time, you should care more about your master!" Old Madam Huo's expression was a little cold.
Although she was her niece, Madam Huo had an ordinary relationship with Fang Yunniang's mother. She brought her into the house that day to gain a good reputation for being kind, and secondly because it was two lives after all, and she couldn't really watch the mother and daughter starve to death on the streets.
Who would have known that the wealth of the Marquis's Mansion blinded these two people, and they even dared to seduce her son even though they knew what the couple was planning.
Later, because Fang Yunniang entered the mansion as a concubine, her mother was also sent to the farm - after all, the mother of a concubine was a servant and no longer a relative.
Originally, Fang Yunniang was quite sensible at that time and asked to be called "old lady" instead of aunt.
But later, when Fang Yunniang saw Shangguan Ruojin leave the capital and knew that there was no room for turning around the engagement, she began to get close to Mrs. Huo and directly called her "Aunt."
Mrs. Huo did correct her several times, but Huo Qingyang always protected her.
The old lady simply didn't argue with her son in front of him, but she never stopped giving him the drug.
