Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

Chapter 12 Prescription

The sun was setting in the sky, and the previously deserted Anfu Hutong was gradually becoming lively.

Although this place is remote, the rent is low. Many outsiders come to the capital. They do small businesses outside during the day to earn some money to support their families, and they return at noon or evening.

Smoke was rising from the chimneys of several houses, and Anfu Hutong was gradually getting smokey.

Song Jinyue stood in the alley, lowered her eyes, and looked coldly at the large and broken wall in front of her.

The doctor's words kept echoing in my mind.

Eucommia ulmoides, Atractylodes macrocephala, Sichuan Dipsacus...

Chonglou, Scutellaria barbata!

Song Jinyue couldn't help but think of the sadness and loneliness in her aunt's eyes after she recovered from illness in her previous life, plus the sudden death of Dr. Xu at home.

This kind of strange thing happened after I found the doctor and read the prescription today.

Only then did she understand something.

I was secretly guessing.

I'm afraid my aunt is not sick, but pregnant.

Because the prescription contains Eucommia ulmoides, Atractylodes macrocephala, Dipsacus chuandus... these are all prescriptions for stabilizing the fetus.

And Chonglou and Scutellaria barbata are the medicines for miscarriage.

If she hadn't split the prescription into four parts today, she might not have been able to discover the strangeness in it.

Because these are mixed together, it is a prescription for clearing away heat and detoxifying and stabilizing the heart!

Just because she was reborn and knew a little bit about this matter, and what happened later, she made this bold speculation in her mind.

But in the end, I had to secretly ask a doctor to take my aunt's pulse to determine whether she was pregnant.

When Song Jinyue thought about this, she felt a little troubled. There was no one around her who knew medical skills.

And this matter can only be handled quietly. She doesn't want to make her aunt happy in vain, and this matter is very involved. At the moment, she has no conclusive evidence to prove who is behind this matter!

And that person is in the dark, and they are in the light.

She didn't dare risk her aunt's life, and she couldn't afford to lose!

"Qiu Yun, go back home."

Qiu Yun didn't dare to ask what was going on and followed the young lady silently.

The reason why Anfu Hutong is called a hutong is because the aisles are narrow and arc-shaped, surrounding dilapidated houses made of bluestone and rubble.

The cramped and narrow aisle was filled with broken black vats, long bars, and bamboo tubes, making the already narrow aisle even more congested.

The two carefully overcame numerous obstacles.

But just a few feet away from the entrance of the alley, the dark, shabby wooden door that was originally closed was pushed open with a crash.

"Get out, get out, get out of here! The old woman and her family are relying on this rent to make a living. It's better for you. The rent has been delayed for half a month. Now that we can't pay the rent, we just move out. We still have to stay in shame. Today we have to

Force the old woman to take action and drive them away!"

"What bad luck!"

A broad-shouldered woman with a round waist and a muscular body was holding a bundle in one hand. Her eyes were full of disgust. She raised her arms and threw the two bundles onto the dirt-covered bluestone floor at Song Jinyue's feet.

The woman was wearing a dark purple jacket and short robe, and there was a red gold hairpin on her gray hair, shining with dazzling golden light in the vast whiteness.

"Aunt Li, please give us two more days. Apart from here, where else can my brother and I find a place to stay? Please be kind to me. My brother will take the scientific examination in two days..."

Wearing a thin green shirt to cover her body, with dark hair hanging behind her back, the girl looked pale, biting her lips tightly, with crystal clear tears rolling in her eyes.

She tugged on the woman's sleeve tightly, her face showing both shyness and stubbornness.

The apricot eyes under Liu Ye's eyebrows moved slightly, looking pitiful.

There was a young man standing behind the girl. The young man stood sideways next to the mother-in-law, wearing the same thin silver-gray short robe. The young man did not speak, his eyes fell on the two bundles on the ground, and the palms hanging down by his sides were clasped in a circle.

His brows were furrowed, and his eyes were filled with frightening hollowness and stubbornness.

"Get out, get out, get out! This is not a shantang!" The woman said with a straight face, raising her hand to knock off the white jade hand holding her arm.

The girl was unstable and fell backwards. The man behind her hurriedly pulled her and was able to hold her up.

"Wanwan, let's go!" The young man's voice was cold and low, like the snow falling under the bluestone eaves in the middle of winter, making people feel chilly just looking at it.

A cunning light suddenly flashed in the woman's eyes, and her previously stern face suddenly relaxed, the corners of her lips were raised, and there were layers of folds on her face. Her attitude took a sharp turn, "It's not like you want to live in vain.

No, my nephew still needs a wife to take care of him. If you agree to the marriage, this house will be yours to live in. How about that?"

The young man's cold face showed a rare look of disdain.

She pulled her sister down the bluestone steps and walked to Song Jinyue. She was stunned for a moment before leaning down to pick up the baggage on the ground and hanging the two gray cloth baggage on her shoulders. Just as she was about to leave, the woman took three steps.

And took two steps to rush down the steps.

Stopping in front of the two of them, he snorted coldly and glared at them, "If you don't pay back the rent you owe me today, neither of you, brother and sister, will be able to leave! Even if I go to the Yamen, I'm not afraid, old lady.

!Besides, if you are imprisoned, who knows if your brother will have a chance to participate in this scientific examination!"

The mother-in-law had made up her mind to want this girl, and now she refused to let her go.

The girl was hiding behind her brother, and Song Jinyue could see clearly that her body was trembling under the thin green shirt.

I don't know if I'm scared or angry.

"Brother...forget it, I am willing to marry Aunt Li's nephew."

The girl took a deep breath, tugged at her brother's thin silver-grey sleeve robe, and whispered in a choked voice.

As soon as Aunt Li saw the girl let go, she immediately put away her evil aura and stepped forward to pull the girl's arm with a pleasant look, but was pushed away by the young man.

"Wanwan, what are you talking about? My brother will never ask you to marry that fool!"

When the old woman saw this, she sat down on the ground in a posture that was about to roll around like a rogue. She grabbed the young man's short robe with both hands, raised her voice, and started wailing, "Someone is coming quickly, someone is coming quickly, someone is coming.

You’re bullying an old lady! Is there any justice or law left in heaven?”

The mother-in-law raised her voice and continued shouting, "Help!"

Following the mother-in-law's high-pitched voice, the closed doors in Anfu Hutong were pushed open one by one.

Immediately, someone came over and surrounded several people. When those people saw the young man, they didn't say anything. They gathered in groups of three or two and whispered to each other.

At this moment, not only the boy and the girl were unable to separate themselves, Song Jinyue and Qiu Yun were also unable to separate themselves. Qiu Yun could not care about anything else. When she saw the crowd coming, she instinctively wanted to pull the young lady away.

But the lady refused to leave!

She had no choice but to carefully protect the young lady.

"Folks, please judge, these two brothers and sisters live and eat in my house for free. It was agreed before that Qin Wan will marry my nephew in the spring of next year. Now the two brothers and sisters actually want to pack their bags.

Run away!"

Mrs. Li sat on the ground, clapped her hands, and loudly accused the brother and sister of their ungrateful behavior.

If Song Jinyue hadn't just seen what happened, she might have believed this woman's lies.

What a confusion of right and wrong! Such a red mouth and white teeth. Song Jinyue couldn't help but think of Aunt Zhao in front of Shen. The two people were exactly the same.
