Chapter 632 Who would like it?
Old Madam Zhao laughed out of anger. In the face of the overall situation, it would have been fine for her to only care about her children's personal affairs, but she actually had the nerve to question and criticize her at this time?
The Qingyuan Marquis Mansion has supported her for many years, taught her carefully, and provided her with fine clothes and delicious food. How come it seems to be wrong now?
Old Madam Zhao felt nauseous and felt as if all her efforts were in vain.
At this moment, the concierge came forward with a box in his hand and said, "Madam, Miss Shen's cousin sent someone to deliver a lot of medicine for injuries."
Yan Wanshuang's face was full of joy: "The medicine that Sister Yi sent must be excellent."
Old Madam Zhao opened the box, which was as big as a makeup box on her fingertips, and inside it were three rows of exquisite jade bottles neatly arranged.
A note was attached to each one, stating its purpose and usage. Some of them were separated and were reserved for Mr. Zhao, Zhao Dechuan and Zhao Baopeng respectively.
"Oh, Sister Yi is so thoughtful." Seeing these things, Yan Wanshuang felt more at ease.
After all, although she didn't know anything else, she knew that Shen Shuyi had a miracle doctor by his side.
Old Madam Zhao sighed in her heart.
In fact, she treated all these children equally, and even because Pang Xinlian had lived in the mansion for a longer time, she gave her more.
But in this world, people are different.
Some people are like wild beasts that can never be fed, while others repay their kindness with kindness.
Madam Zhao's eyes were sore and she nodded: "Put them all away carefully and give them to the master later. Ask them to pick out the important ones and take them with them."
"Yes."
After saying that, Madam Zhao's gaze fell on Pang Xinlian. Her tone was much gentler than before, but her gaze lacked the previous heartfelt care and eagerness.
After all, no one will keep giving without getting anything in return and still have no regrets. People are all made of flesh and blood, but their hearts can also turn cold.
"Lian Jie'er, go back first. After your army sets out, call your aunt and cousin to sit down and talk about this matter. Of course, you also have to ask the Gu family for their opinion." Old Madam Zhao spoke slowly.
Yan Wanshuang finally reacted at this moment.
Gu family?
Pang Xinlian has a crush on Gu Yunhe?
Yan Wanshuang just thought it was ridiculous. Yun He was a straightforward and bright person. How could he like Pang Xinlian, who was so timid and cunning?
Oh no, or rather, with her personality, she really doesn't know who would like her except her mother.
Pang Xinlian dug her fingertips into her palm. The old lady actually wanted her to talk in front of the Gu family and Zhao Xueqing. Was this to humiliate her?
How could a woman like her, whose mother eloped and whose father died young, compare to the now popular granddaughter of the marquis's mansion?
It was a waste of time that she was afraid that Feng Wan had other plans and was hesitant!
Now it seems that it’s nothing.
"No need for that. I appreciate your kindness, grandma." Pang Xinlian's eyes were red. She sniffed, gave Old Madam Zhao a half-hearted smile, then turned around and left with her handkerchief.
Old Madam Zhao stared at her back and let out a breath.
"I don't know what I did wrong, but I made her behave like this."
Yan Wanshuang immediately comforted her, "Mother, don't think too much. You have been very kind to her. The other brothers and sisters in the mansion are all very good. She has been spoiled since she was a child in the Pang Mansion."
"Look, what she eats, wears, uses and spends now, every single one of them is from our Marquis' Mansion. I really don't know what else she wants." Yan Wanshuang couldn't hold back what she wanted to say.
You know, when Pang Xinlian first came, she treated her well, but this child was not related to her at all, and her temper was really...
She was enthusiastic a few times, but then she became cold. However, her mother loved her day after day for more than ten years.
But look at her attitude now!
Madam Zhao shook her head, not wanting to say more. She just said, "After all, I owe Sister Yi. Back then, she was driven to the Jade Buddha Temple by Qin. If I could hold on a little longer..."
Thinking of this, Madam Zhao felt even more guilty towards Shen Shuyi. Although she had sent people to the Shen family and the Jade Buddha Temple several times, she was never able to truly rescue Shen Shuyi from the fire pit.
It's hard for her to work hard for the Zhao family with all her heart.

After Pang Xinlian returned to her room, she asked all the servants to leave, and she took out something wrapped in cloth from under the bed.
The thing is very small, only the size of a palm.
Her throat tightened and she unwrapped the cloth bag bit by bit, revealing a small doll.
The doll was a middle-aged man wearing fancy clothes, but they were too simple and therefore looked a little scary.
At this moment, a piece of cloth was pasted on the gorgeous clothes, with a person's birth date written on it. Countless fine silver steel needles pierced through the cloth and stabbed into the doll's body.
Pang Xinlian couldn't help but recall the conversation with Feng Wan.
"Whose birth date is this? What good will this do you?"
Feng Wan smiled and said, "It belongs to the general who guards the country."
Pang Xinlian frowned. Although she didn't know much about the affairs of the court, she knew about the great general Lu Xiao.
"Aren't you from the Lu family? Why are you doing this?" Pang Xinlian spoke softly, full of confusion.
Feng Wan said coldly: "Right now the Luo army is approaching, the general has been harmed by the traitors and cannot lead the troops to fight, but your old marquis is no match for the Luo people at all."
"So rather than letting the old marquis and countless soldiers die tragically, it is better for our general to continue to be in charge."
Pang Xinlian didn't know much about court affairs, but she understood Feng Wan's words.
"What you mean is that the old marquis practiced witchcraft and cursed the general who guards the country. Once this matter is exposed, my grandfather will no longer be able to lead the troops, and the position of the commander-in-chief will then only be the general who guards the country?" Pang Xinlian frowned and spoke in a soft and thin voice.
"Yes, in this case, you not only helped us a lot, but also saved the lives of countless soldiers. It can be said to be a good deed." Feng Wan continued to induce.
Pang Xinlian was still undecided and worried: "But if this matter gets out, won't my grandfather's life be in danger?"
Feng Wan shook her head: "You are wrong. Your grandfather went to the battlefield to seek death. You know the battle of Lushan, right? If he caused such a tragedy, your mansion would be destroyed!"
Pang Xinlian asked: "What would happen if this matter was exposed and my grandfather didn't go?"
"He will be punished by His Majesty. His Majesty hates witchcraft and may want to kill him. But considering that the Marquis risked his life to save him not long ago, he will be spared. But the Marquis will be treated coldly again." Feng Wan looked straight at Pang Xinlian with a frank look.
Pang Xinlian remained silent, hesitant: "I need to think about it carefully."
Feng Wan raised the corners of her lips and said, "You are not a member of the Zhao family anyway, so you cannot be implicated. Besides, you helped the Zhao family to avert a disaster, and even saved their lives. You can also secure a satisfactory marriage for yourself. Why not do it?"
"Are you serious?" Pang Xinlian tightly grasped the bag Feng Wan gave her.
Feng Wan raised her eyebrows: "Of course, if you don't believe it, you can ask someone. The birthday of the general is no secret. Even if you can't find out the exact time, the year and day will not be wrong."
