Chapter 38 brother-in-law
This is not good, Zhao Su is the daughter of the Marquis of Qingyun, if her position was seen by the emperor with his own eyes and passed out, it will certainly hurt Zhao Su’s reputation. Zhao Su’s reputation is damaged, that will also directly affect the relationship between the Marquis of Qingyun and the emperor between the ruler and the minister, then in who are embarrassing things!
From the size of the wound, the situation must have been more serious, so there is a little medical foundation of the emperor made a decision on the spot. Since it was an accident, this matter should end here.
So the emperor’s words before he left, is it really to praise his knife? Not really, he was asking her to make good and reminding her to keep her mouth shut!
Zhao Su didn’t know that there was a back story, she was happy when Lady Doctor Chen took over here, and the follow-up appointment ten days later was not a problem!
But what made her even happier was that after she finished applying the medicine, she was about to tell Dr. Chen to let her take over the medication, when he himself said, “It wouldn’t look good for a girl to have a scar on her body, so let me take care of this sore for you, and don’t bother anyone else.”
Zhao Su was overjoyed, “That’s great!”
She greeted Xiao Ju: “Quickly give Dr. Chen double the consultation fee!”
Mistress Chen smiled as she packed up her medical tools, “No need to double it, just give it as usual.”
Zhao Su insisted on paying twice the price before Xiao Ju sent her out.
The two had just walked under the door when Auntie Ning’s voice came.
“Why is Dr. Chen here?”
“Mrs. Ning.” Mistress Chen nodded her head in greeting, “Miss Su has a sore on her body, and I was summoned here to take a look.”
“A sore on Miss Su’s body? How come I didn’t know?”
Aunt Ning said as she had already entered the door with quick steps, and reached the bedside in a few steps, her worried gaze scanning over Zhao Su’s body, “What’s going on? You child, why didn’t you tell me when you were sick?”
Zhao Su sat up crookedly with Xiao Lan’s assistance, “Nothing big, just a small sore, so I didn’t easily alarm auntie.”
“Let me take a look!”
Zhao Su was unwilling to let her take a look, and when she saw that Mistress Chen was still standing under the curtain bar, she instructed Xiao Ju, “First send Mrs. Chen out for me.”
Mistress Chen nodded slightly under the curtain bar and turned around to go out the door.
Marquis Qingyun was about to go out when he saw the unfamiliar back of the woman walking in front of him, as if she was coming out from the Qiyu Courtyard side, so he stopped and asked, “Who is that?”
Long follower Liang An said, “It’s female doctor Chen from Hui An Tang at the entrance of the Square.”
Marquis Qingyun gave an oh. He added: “Who is sick?”
Liang An was stumped by the question, “I haven’t heard of it, so I’ll send someone to the girl’s place to take a look.”
Just as the words were finished, Marquis Qing Yun’s toes had already turned in the right direction, “No need, I’ll go over and take a look.”
……
Aunt Ning has been in the Marquis House for twelve years, although she is a guest, but the people in the house also regard her as half a master. Plus her weekdays, all parties to the point of okay, so far no one dares to give her what face to see. The news of Zhao Su leaving the house at night was quickly brought back by the maid who passed by the corner door.
In the past two days, when Aunt Ning saw Caiyun hanging around in front of her eyes, her heart felt blocked. Called the autumn grandmother to send her back, she cried and begged for forgiveness saying that the girl explained that if she did not serve properly, she would break her legs.
If she hadn’t heard that Zhao Su was resting in the morning, she might have had to go over.
Knowing that Zhao Su went out during the night, she felt that she finally got a reason, and in the morning, she came to Qiyu courtyard.
When Mistress Chen left the courtyard, Aunt Ning retracted her gaze, first waved her subordinates out, then said, “You’ve grown such a big sore and didn’t tell me, could it be that you want to rush me to death?”
“How could I, it’s really nothing.”
“I see that you’ve been treating me like an outsider lately,” Aunt Ning laughed half-heartedly, “You used to have to tell me when you broke a fingernail, but now you don’t even tell me when you’re sick.”
“I’ve reached adulthood, how can I still be as uninformed as I was as a child.”
“So you also suddenly allocated me a maid?”
Zhao Su said, “Cai Yun, this girl is quite resourceful, I let her go over there to serve my aunt on my behalf and do her filial duty. How is it, is it still to auntie’s liking that I did this?”
“Since it’s your filial piety, even if it’s not to my liking, I still have to accept it, don’t I? But why don’t you consult with me about what you’re doing? It’s not good to take matters into your own hands.”
Aunt Ning said, putting the tea down, “That’s not what I taught you when you were a child, that no matter what you do, you should always remember to consult with adults. Especially in a family like ours, there are no rules.”
Marquis Qingyun walked under the door, just in time to hear the phrase “a family like ours”, and stopped in his tracks. At this time under the porch Aunt Ning’s maids happened to come out, hurried to report, he glared angrily, and stopped them in their tracks!
Zhao Su was rather unimpressed.
This still have the nerve to mention the rules with her, the original master into this, so that there is a marriage contract with the man to pinpoint the handle of the public so sarcastic, to say in the end thanks to who?
She said, “I didn’t make up my own mind, I discussed it with my great aunt.”
Aunt Ning frowned and said, “You’re giving me the maid, you have to discuss it with me, what’s the point of discussing it with Great Aunt?”
“It’s just a maid, why would Auntie need to see things differently?” Zhao Su raised her head, “Although you are not my real mom, I have treated you as my real aunt all these years. The maid is mine, I can still make the decision on who to allocate her to, so don’t be embarrassed.
“If she doesn’t listen, you shouldn’t harbor her out of concern that she’s a member of the Marquis’ household; tell great-aunt or fourth aunt, and they’ll certainly help you teach her a good lesson!”
Aunt Ning was messed up when she heard this from her own aunt!
She pinched her hand and laughed, “An aunt is an aunt, what’s the difference between pro and con? You purposely explained that you’re trying to separate from me from each other?”
Zhao Su tilted on the pillow, also serious: “I want to do my filial piety to my aunt, how can I be divided from each other? Of course, if you have to say that, it’s not wrong, once upon a time I was just too undistinguished from each other, and if there are offenses, please ask your aunt to look at my ignorance and bear with me.
“In the future, this girl will be given to Auntie, and in the future, after you and cousin are reunited, I will be able to rest assured with her serving beside you.”
Aunt Ning’s face turned even more green, “Who said I’m going to reunite with your cousin?”
Zhao Su revealed a rare expression, “Cousin has already joined the civil service and is considered to be established, is it possible that Auntie doesn’t need to reunite with him and take charge of the household for him?”
Aunt Ning lost her words, she only had one son in total, of course she had to reunite! But not in this way!
If she left like this, wouldn’t she be at a great disadvantage?
“Who did you hear that from?”
“What need is there to hear it? If Cousin still leaves Auntie to live in the Marquis after he joins the civil service, outsiders will say he’s unfilial, too! In case it gets to the Metropolitan Court, and is cited by a magistrate, and falls under the name of unfiliality, then cousin’s future will be in jeopardy as well.”
