Chapter 359 – Strange Atmosphere

Chen Han stepped through the gate of Marquis Jingnan’s residence, the granny responsible for guiding the way under the shadow wall greeted him, “Doctor Chen came early today.”

“Yes. There are a lot of people on the road today, and the medical center is busy, so I’m afraid that I’ll be delayed in treating madam.”

Chen Han said as he followed her onto the hipped corridor leading to the backyard.

The Marquis Jingnan’s residence was not small, and on the way there were countless people who, when they met each other face-to-face, politely stepped aside to make way for them. Chen Han, who has been traveling around the capital for many years, is also from a family of doctors, so she is not afraid, but when she sees Yu Qingtong, the third young lady of the Yu family, she will still give way.

After all, can not afford to hide, this concubine of the third miss, neither like the first out of the Yu Qingyi as subtle, but also not as straight as the original Yu Qingping, Yu Qingtong which is not next to, and so look at where all the eye, Chen Han was mean to her, not to mess with.

The mid-autumn festival is approaching, and the Marquis Jingnan’s residence is also presenting the lively atmosphere of the festive season.

Arrived at the main courtyard, there is already Mrs. Jingnan Marquis maid standing outside the courtyard door, Chen Han when they are to meet, just want to let them introduced to go, the maid face is a little unnatural to block the door: “Chen doctor and please take a seat in the side hall, our marquis is still in the house.”

Although this trip out of the early, but only compared to the past, right now are three poles of the sun, Marquis Jingnan has not yet gone to the Yamen?

But she knows not to ask more questions, according to the words back to the side of a bamboo forest covered small flower hall.

A moment to see someone in the courtyard out, through the bamboo leaves look, it is the Marquis of Jingnan, clothes and crown neat look, the sleeves are not as flat as the folds, looks like just changed on. There is a faint fragrance of soap, a look, he tied up the hair is really still wet. –The morning of the bath can be rare, let alone or so after the bath do not wait for the hair to dry out on the door. Chen Han usually do not talk about gossip, but does not mean that she is a careless person, each family house in the minutiae if you can not properly grasp, and how can in this circle like a fish out of water?

She felt that today’s Marquis Jingnan was a bit strange, but that was all, she would not overstep the bounds of deeper investigation.

Soon there will be someone to guide her into the inner.

To the main room, there is still a faint odor of soap. There are maids cleaning up the house, but also all cleaned up, not to be undignified. Mrs. Marquis Jingnan crooked in the window on the soft couch to rest her eyes, but today’s look is no longer the usual comfortable, she supported her forehead with one hand, brows knit, crooked body looks a little stiff, it can be seen that now she is thinking about things.

The maid went up to inform a sound, Mrs. Marquis Jingnan opened her eyes: “Doctor Chen, sit down.”

Chen Han thanked her for her seat. She then asked her while opening her medical tools, “How is the pain now, ma’am? After a few days of treatment, has it loosened up a bit?”

“It’s much better. Thanks to you.”

Mrs. Marquis Jingnan sat up and tugged at the corners of her mouth, but it was still unnatural. “Why are you so early today?”

Chen Han said the reason, and then poked a needle into her knee. Mrs. Marquis Jingnan endured the pain of the needle, her eyebrows twitching, waiting for the strength to pass, she sighed and said, “A criminal came out for no reason, a holiday is not peaceful.” After saying this, I thought I shouldn’t complain in front of outsiders, and then I looked at Chen Han.

Chen Han glanced at him and said, “Is Mrs. Chen taking advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival to do something else?”

Wanted to ask to the heart, Mrs. Marquis Jingnan crooked back, resumed that sighing look: “I was about the official family to go to the incense tomorrow morning, this time, will not be able to go.”

“Going to the incense is just, does not affect.”

“But our master is busy these days, often not in the house, you also know, incense must be rushed early, dark, that the criminal what is not yet know, in case it is an outlaw, that is not a big trouble? In the end, I don’t dare to go.”

Chen Han twisted the needle on one side and asked, “The Marquis has been so busy lately. Yesterday, the wife of General Yao of the Central Military Palace came to ask for a pulse of peace, and I heard her say that the government offices have been quite free lately.”

“He is busy with other things.”

Mrs. Marquis Jingnan replied, and stopped talking.

Chen Han didn’t ask any further questions. After a while, Mrs. Marquis Jingnan looked at her again, and then said, “There is a notice on the street, saying that the palace is determined to close the city gates after the Mid-Autumn Festival to catch the criminals, have you heard about it?”

Chen Han took out the silver needle: “When I came here earlier, I heard about it. However, this matter seems to have very little to do with us, so I didn’t pay attention to it.”

Marquis Jingnan’s wife stroked her silk: “You’ve traveled a lot amongst the families, have you heard any news?”

“I don’t know which news your ladyship is referring to?”

“It’s about the Wei Yuan Marquis’ case.”

“Isn’t this case just an ordinary theft case? Could it be that there is something else fishy?”

“A while ago, the streets and alleys were filled with proclamations about the feats of the Eldest Princess, haven’t you heard about it?”

Chen Han smiled faintly, “The great deeds of the Eldest Princess are no secret, I was familiar with them when I was young. Could it be that madam has heard something new?”

Lady Marquis Jingnan opened her mouth, wanting to respond to something, but did not say anything more.

Chen Han’s gaze lingered briefly on her face and fell back to the silver needles under his hands.

The maid lifted the curtain and came in, “The visiting gift for the county princess is ready, the second girl has already left the house.”

“Got it.”

Mrs. Marquis Jingnan waved her hand. After saying this, she looked at Chen Han and said, “This county princess’s injury is also strange, how can a golden branch that normally can’t be faulted for its grooming fall down? The county princess’s injury was also treated by Dr. Chen, right? Do you know what happened?”

Chen Han raised his lips, “It is said that while standing on the rockery to enjoy the scenery, she was startled by a wild cat that suddenly leapt out and fell down. Is the second girl going to visit?”

Mrs. Marquis Jingnan nodded without saying anything more.

……

Today, not only is Marquis Jingnan strange, but Mrs. Jingnan Marquis is also strange.

Coming out of the Yu family, it was nearly noon.

Chen Han entered the medical center with doubts, and saw Zhao Su sitting in the store drinking tea, saw himself immediately stood up and shouted “Aunt Chen”.

When she saw her, she immediately stood up and called out “Aunt Chen”. She then walked straight over to her: “Why didn’t you go to the government office?”

“I’ve been waiting for you here.” Zhao Su pulled her to sit down, “How is Mrs. Marquis Jingnan?”

“Fine, the same old problems. Why, did you come for her?”

“Not really. I came to ask you, recently someone against the flower and moon will make a moth, the empress dowager intends to positively respond to the matter, you know have not?” Zhao Su said and told her the whole story in detail. “The Empress Dowager’s intention is to use this matter to simply put the previous stranded things down in one fell swoop, you the Kui masters must help the Flower Moon Association, so that these open-eyed blind people take a good look at the Flower Moon Association these years in the end there is no action, there is no greater action in the end and because of what?”

“That’s natural, I’m already planning to go to the Ministry of Ceremonies to take a look.” Chen Han drank a mouthful of tea and looked up at her again, “Marquis Jingnan ……”

Once he saw that she was hanging her head in deep thought, he stopped talking.

Zhao Su holds the tea, thinking about Huo Xiu and the relationship between all these things.

Although Huo Xiu’s side has yet to show evidence that this petition is also his handiwork, in all likelihood it’s him, or else why would Long San stand up for the Princess at the theater like that?

But they obviously also think that as a woman, the Princess should get the same fair treatment as a man, but in the end, they turned around and attacked the Flower Moon Club, why is that?

But if it was determined that everything was all his doing, then the Emperor was injured while practicing sword fighting with him in the palace, how did he do this planning?

Last night, the thought of the night, Zhao Su inner heart also agreed with the emperor’s idea, will have to wait for Huo Xiu himself fell into the net, see the facts, and then ask for an understanding can not be.

Look at the sky, has nearly noon, in any case, this time the Huo Xiu should also get the news, and some action ……
