"Although Yongling Marquis couldn't understand why Meng family had body odor when they were doing well, he still asked: 'Can the doctor say that my wife's body odor can be cured?'"
If any concubine has body odor, he can just not go to her room in the future.
But the Meng family is the head of the household.
He can indeed avoid going to the Meng family's room for the night, but the Meng family still has to go out to meet people.
There are also various interpersonal communications that need her to handle. How can she have such a strong smell on her?
Also, his dignity would be severely compromised.
"To the Marquis, the doctor who has been invited has left the prescription for a medicinal bath and dietary therapy. It is said that the lady should immerse herself in the medicinal bath every day and follow the dietary therapy, with the hope that it will show some initial results."
The servants reply truthfully.
The Marquis of Yongling nodded slightly, indicating approval. It's good if there's a way to treat it, but if there isn't, that would be a headache.
Knowing the answer he wanted, he didn't continue to ask any further questions.
He waved his hand, dismissing the servant and letting him go.
Yu Yao was standing by and listening.
The evil-smelling pill produced by the system is un treatable, so the medicinal bath and recipe left by the doctors would have no effect on Meng family.
But she would not say this to Meng, let her suffer.
The elderly madam was fine. After the crowd dispersed, Yu Yao went over and spoke with her for a while.
And so he took Nangong Yan away from the Marquis of Yongling's estate, and then sat on his horse back to Jin Wang's palace. He quickly set off.
Marquis of Yongling's main courtyard, Yihetang.
Yu Wan only felt that she was about to collapse, her mother's body odor was too strong, even for her to bear.
But her mother kept holding her hand and talking, with no self-awareness at all.
"Xuan'er, Mother never had body odor before. How did it suddenly appear? Your father must have rejected me, and those concubines in the mansion probably all find me amusing."
As Meng's family had made such a big mistake for the first time, she was too embarrassed to face people, and her emotions were particularly agitated.
She has lived for several decades, and she has never been so embarrassed before.
She had never let out such a smelly fart before, even when she had a stomachache.
She felt that she must have been conned by someone, but the doctor said her body was fine, the problem was her body odor.
She's lived for several decades without body odor, how is it that she's developed body odor now as she's gotten older?
But the doctors in the entire capital city are all saying the same thing, and Meng family has no choice but to believe them.
If Meng had not known that she had let out a stinky fart, it would have already been known throughout the capital city. Otherwise, she would probably have wanted to die.
Yu Wan's face was beet red, and she couldn't breathe at all. Hearing her mother's words, she could only comfort her:
"Mother, don't think too much. The doctor has prescribed medicinal baths and dietary therapy. As long as you follow what the doctor said, the smell on your body will disappear eventually."
The moment she opened her mouth, her entire mouth was filled with odor, making her feel sick.
She felt that if she stayed any longer, she would probably faint. So she said to Meng, "Mother, there are some matters in the mansion that I need to attend to, so I'll go back first. I'll come and see you with my husband next time."
Li Luoshu had already reached his limit. If it weren't for the fact that he still needed to rely on Meng family, he would have left long ago.
Hearing his wife's words, he also hurriedly said: "Yes, mother-in-law, there are urgent matters to deal with in the mansion. We will leave first and visit you another day!"
How could Meng not see that her daughter and son-in-law genuinely had no urgent matters?
It's just that they can't bear their own body odor and are eager to leave as soon as possible.
Li Luoshu's disdain for Meng can be understood because he is an outsider.
But Xuan'er is her own daughter, how can she disdain her?
"Xuan'er, even you disdain Mother?"
Meng family didn't just let go of Yu Wan's hand, but instead held on tighter, with her emotions being extremely excited.
"Mother, don't be overly imaginative. Daughter really doesn't disdain you, just"
Yu Wan couldn't take it anymore, her brain was already dizzy from the smell, as if she would faint at any moment.
Thinking about Meng's mother being her own biological mother, even if she was angry, she would calm down in no time. She would say something nice to soothe her then.
Thinking this way, she suddenly let go of Meng's hand and said hurriedly, "Mother, there's really something urgent at the mansion, I'll come to see you another day..."
As soon as the words fell, she quickly escaped with Li Luoshu, leaving behind the speed as if there was a dog chasing them behind.
Seeing her daughter and son-in-law hurriedly leave in the distance, Meng was truly heartbroken.
Despite being heartbroken, Meng still followed the doctor's instructions and took the prescribed herbal baths and followed the dietary therapy.
Even the three meals a day, were changed to extremely light and simple food.
Food with smell or stimulating ingredients was avoided completely.
Each day was just a bowl of thin soup with nothing to it, eating which left Meng with no appetite at all.
Meng's body was visibly thin, but the smell was still there and hadn't changed.
...
Returning to the Marquis of Jin's residence, Yu Yao heaved a sigh of relief, it's so tiring.
The carriage swayed up and down, making her whole body uncomfortable.
"Sijin, go to the slave market and buy a few clever young maids. Find a way to sneak into Li Luoshu's mansion and stay close to his mother to serve her."
Just as Sijin was about to bring a cup of hot tea, she heard this and looked up in surprise, "What are you planning to do, master?"
Yu Yao glanced at her, "Don't worry about it. Just do as I tell you."
With the matter of Lady Meng taken care of, it's now time for Li Luoshu's mother.
She hasn't forgotten the second task, which is to ensure that Li Luoshu's mother has no grandchildren to care for, and to send her back to the countryside.
She has already given Li Luoshu the daughter-birth pill, and he will never have a son in this lifetime.
Li Luoshu's mother naturally has no grandson to hold.
It's because Li Luoshu's mother, Zhou, only has one son, Li Luoshu, while the rest are daughters, and they are eight in total.
The only son is particularly accomplished, so it's no wonder Zhou would be biased towards sons.
"Yes, master!"
Sijin answered while also passing the tea she had just brewed, "Master, here is the tea I have just brewed, be careful as it's hot."
Yu Yao nodded slightly and took a sip.
Hearing the servant outside reporting that the queen was looking for her, she was currently waiting in the main courtyard.
She had no choice but to put down the tea and get up to go to the main courtyard, which was the courtyard of the Queen of Jin, known as "Mo Yun Hall."
She arrived to find Queen Jin was fiddling with the invitations, red, gold-embossed invites piled up in front of her.
Yu Yao instantly understood what was going on in her heart, and she also knew why the queen was looking for her.
"Grandson-in-law greets the queen!"
She curtsied to Queen Jin.
Queen Jin looked up at the sound of her voice, taking in the woman before her who was beautiful and charming, with a smile that was radiant and her eyes sparkling with springlike hues.
She couldn't help but think of herself from many years ago.
She herself was also as beautiful as she was at that moment, unaware of how many wealthy young gentlemen would have pursued her with admiration and affection.
Unfortunately, she didn't have the same wisdom as her daughter-in-law, nor did she know how to hide herself, which led to her attracting that man.
Thinking of that man, Queen Jin's eyes flickered with complexity. If it were not for her desperate plea and her sacrifice to protect the Jin family, the Jin House would have been non-existent by now.
And she would have had to change her name and identity, becoming just another member of the royal harem.
These emotions were just fleeting, and Queen Jin quickly regained her composure.
She smiled and waved Yu Yao over, "There's no need to be so formal with family members. Come over and take a look. This is the list of guests that the queen has prepared for the banquet. Do you have anything else to add?"
