I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Chapter 460 Offend them all

"This is Mrs. Jing who has become famous in Xijing recently." Mrs. Xin Huo Xiu forced out a smile and introduced to everyone: "Not only is she outstanding in medical skills, but she has also been granted a marriage by His Majesty, and she will soon become Mrs. Xianghou ”

Everyone here has heard of these things, but this is the first time they have seen Luo Qianhuai himself.

At that moment, someone laughed and said: "You are really born with snow-skinned and beautiful appearance - that is to say, Your Majesty is still young and does not know the affairs of men and women, otherwise how can you get the Marquis of Xiang at an advantage?"

When Luo Qianhuai looked up, he saw that the person speaking had a moon-shaped face like a silver plate, but his eyes, nose and lips were quite small, making him look a little inexplicably funny.

A lady with an oval face and a slender waist answered: "Mrs. Jing is really a blessing. I saw the Marquis of Xiang once when he first came to Beijing. I was shocked at the time - I didn't expect you to be like this. It’s God’s destiny to marry such a handsome person.”

Before she finished speaking, someone sneered: "Mrs. Yao, please don't say it's a joke. Who doesn't know what Marquis Xiang is like right now? His hands and feet are all broken, and even the house may not be completed. Marry this delicate little lady, Are you afraid of being a widow?"

As soon as she finished speaking, several other ladies covered their faces and laughed.

They are all ladies from well-off families, and they have long been aware of the subtle relationship between His Majesty and Marquis Xiang.

It is not a secret that His Majesty does not want to see the Marquis of Xiang, so everyone did not have the slightest intention of being polite and did not take such a nominal Marquis seriously.

The same goes for the concubine who was born in Ye Tingcheng.

Everyone can guess that the reason why His Majesty chose her was not to show any favor, but just to disgust people.

He was once the legitimate heir to this country, but he was married to the daughter of an internal official who even ordinary officials looked down upon. Who would believe it if he had good intentions?

Huo Xiu just sat down and watched indifferently, showing no intention of stopping him.

The ladies in this house today were all carefully selected by her. Needless to say about family background, the husband is either a minister or an official of a state who is sent abroad. In short, they are all the wives of officials with more than 2,000 dan.

Among them, none of them are close to the Wang family and the Cui family, and no one in the family has ever sought Mrs. Jing's medical treatment. Their character is relatively conservative, they attach great importance to women's moral integrity, and they especially hate such lowly medical women who are exposed to the public. .

Xingxuan had already felt a fire in her heart because of Mrs. Gao before, but now that she heard these words, she couldn't hold it back at all.

"Marriage granted by the emperor is a perfect match. I didn't expect that you ladies would have so many different views on this marriage. It's surprising! My servant will go back and publicize these words to the outside world. If it is spread one day Once your Majesty hears it, things will get interesting!"

The laughter stopped abruptly. The ladies looked at me, and I looked at you, and then unanimously turned their attention to Mrs. Xin, who was at the head. They were all dumbfounded, with disbelief on their faces.

Were they just scolded by a little emissary who was working for a little eunuch's daughter? There is simply no distinction between superiority and inferiority, which is unbelievable!

A playful smile appeared on Mrs. Xin's lips, but she had no intention of speaking for them.

But this silence is itself an attitude.

The last person who spoke just now, Taichang Qing's second wife, Wan Shi, was the first to speak.

Like Huo Xiu, she was in her early thirties, with good looks. She had a bright red cinnabar mole on the corner of her right lip, which was both eye-catching and festive.

"Mrs. Jing has not been taught a lesson since she was a child, so her servants are not polite." The corners of her mouth turned up, and the cinnabar mole also turned up: "Since she is and will be the Madam of Xianghou, she will be on an equal footing with us, so this Madam is also indispensable. , I want to help you teach your servants the rules."

As soon as she finished speaking, the nanny who had been kneeling behind her stood up, walked to Xingxuan in a few steps, raised her palms, and was about to hit her.

Even if there were dozens of ordinary people like him with no martial arts foundation, Xingxuan would not be afraid.

Sure enough, the next moment, the nanny was already covering her dislocated arm and collapsed to the ground with cold sweat on her face.

"You! How dare you!" Wan stood up in a panic, pointed at Xingxuan with one finger, and shouted at Luo Qianhuai: "Madam Jing, how dare you let your servants commit murder in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Luo Qianhuai was all amused. She patted Xingxuan on the shoulder, signaling her to calm down, and then said calmly: "That's not what Madam said when she overstepped her authority and ordered people to kill my female envoy. Since she is not as skilled as she is. If you are educated by my female envoy, you can’t blame others.”

She did not wait for Mrs. Wan Wan to speak again, and continued directly: "As for what my female envoy said before, is there anything wrong? Your Majesty personally granted me the marriage, and you all dare to make irresponsible remarks here, mocking me for being a widow in the future. ——If it spreads and causes heated discussions, I am afraid that you will think that the ladies are dissatisfied with His Majesty’s will, or that they want to alienate the family ties of the Tian family, and want to lead the Marquis of Xiang and me to secretly resent Your Majesty. This is not a trivial matter. It might even bring disaster to the family. Even Mrs.

Mrs. Xin looked at the angry and frightened faces of the ladies below, and sighed secretly.

She really didn't expect that Mrs. Jing would have such a temper that she couldn't stand the slightest anger.

But there was indeed nothing wrong with what she said, and everything she chose was reasonable. Even she could only hold her nose and recognize it, and smooth things over with nice words.

"Hehehe." Mrs. Xin stood up, smiled and reached for Luo Qianhuai's hand.

Her hands were cold, cold, and somewhat sticky, which suggested she was suffering from anxiety disorder.

"These ladies are all my friends. What I said just now was not malicious, it was just out of concern for you." She said with a decent smile on her face: "It's just a small matter, why did it cause such a fuss."

Without waiting for Luo Qianhuai to say anything else, she introduced the ladies present like a qualified host.

The first person with a full moon face to speak was Jiang, the wife of Lu Wang, the prefect of Cangzhou; the one with an oval face was Yao, the wife of Wei Wei Liang Feng. Not to mention the Wan family with red moles, the next three are Xie family, the wife of Prime Minister Zhao Fu, Gu family, the wife of Guangluxun Sima Xin, and Shangguan family, the wife of Li Xianghong, the prefect of Yizhou.

Mrs. Xin personally introduced them one by one. These ladies also put away their contemptuous look just now and nodded politely in return. As for what they were thinking in their hearts, no one knew.

Luo Qianhuai knew in her heart that she was afraid that she had offended all the wives of high-ranking officials since just now.

In the past, she might have been a little entangled, but now she doesn't care at all.

If this was the purpose of Mrs. Xin inviting her here today, then it would actually be acceptable.

She believed that Mr. Mo would deal with the open and covert attacks from these boring people, allowing her to practice medicine with peace of mind. This is what a husband should do.

After a wave of introductions, Luo Qianhuai didn't show any look of awe or worry on his face, which surprised Mrs. Xin.

But then she thought about it, she was afraid that Mrs. Jing was still young and had such a background, so she simply couldn't understand what it meant to her to offend these people.

Moreover, according to her current arrangements, she really doesn't have to care about the attitudes of those people, because there is no way she will live to wait until the day they get something in return.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xin's haggard face was suddenly stained with a somewhat scary smile.
