Chapter 40: Chen Medicine

The tea hung in mid-air for a moment, and Aunt Ning accepted it with a trembling hand.

After about another moment, she said, “I’ll go back and think about it.”

Zhao Su looked at Marquis Qingyun.

Marquis Qingyun said, “Good.”

Aunt Ning stood up.

“Auntie, take care!”

Zhao Su limped to send her to the door.

Then he hopped back inside, “Why did father come so coincidentally?”

Marquis Qingyun said, “I saw that you hired a doctor, so I came over to take a look. Where are you unwell?”

He said while scanning her a few times, looking at her like this, it doesn’t look like she’s in discomfort.

“I’m nothing, it’s just that I got sores from the fire, I asked Dr. Chen from Hui An Tang to look at it, and it’s already fine.” After saying that she couldn’t wait to say, “I let my aunt go and reunite with my cousin, father won’t blame me for being rude?”

“Blame you for what?” Marquis Qing Yun looked at her, “Aren’t you also filial?”

Zhao Su couldn’t help but high five, “What you said is so right!”

She didn’t expect Marquis Qing Yun to be so quick to stand on her side, so this strengthened her guts, and she started to dare to ask downwards, “To speak with a clear conscience, father is so quick, did he already have this intention?”

“Yes, once upon a time, didn’t you forbid it?” Speaking of this, Marquis Qing Yun also stretched his body, “You used to refuse to let her go, why did you suddenly become enlightened? Did something happen?”

Zhao Su habitually wanted to gloss over it, but thinking that she had to seriously manage her father-daughter relationship, she still answered calmly: “To be honest, I heard something a while ago and felt that something was very wrong, and then I thought back to these twelve years.

“I feel that I would rather be strictly educated by my great-aunt than to be brought up in such a pampered manner by my aunt. After all, she can’t protect me for the rest of my life, and teaching me how to conduct myself is truly for my own good.”

Marquis Qingyun looked at her for a moment before slowly saying, “You really do understand things.”

“It is said that dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, your daughter’s foundation can’t be worse than that.”

Marquis Qingyun nodded, “That’s also true. Your mother and I are both peaceful people, our large family has not grown crooked, it would be difficult for her to raise you crooked on her own.”

Zhao Su knew that when it was time to play dumb, she still had to play dumb: “Listening to father’s words, auntie looks like she’s been up to no good for a long time?”

“She’s leaving, so let’s not delve into these matters.” Marquis Qingyun stood up, “I’ll have to go into the palace later, you keep it.”

……

Aunt Ning returned to Mei Ying Zhai, and before she even took her seat, she slapped over towards the maid following behind her!

“The Marquis came and didn’t tell me, what’s the use of having you?”

The maid covered her face and flung it to the side, biting her lip and crying out at that moment.

“It’s the Marquis who didn’t allow it to be said!”

“How dare you talk back!”

Aunt Ning raised her slap again, and the maid burst into tears!

Sister Qiu quickly crossed in, “Mistress calm your anger! Careful your hand hurts!”

Aunt Ning’s face was almost distorted, her teeth were clenched, her hands propped up on the edge of the table, where could her breath calm down.

Sister Qiu said, “What’s going on here? How did the Marquis go over there? Could it be that someone tipped him off?”

These words seemed to have reminded Aunt Ning, who gathered her composure and turned around, “Are you saying that this was Sister Su’er’s premeditation?”

“I wouldn’t dare to say so, but this is really too coincidental, what’s more, the third girl has recently acted like a different person from before, and she’s not close to madam, so it’s hard to guarantee that it wasn’t her who had this in mind long ago. No, as soon as the Marquis came, he heard the conversation between Mistress and the girl, and also saw Mistress’s unwillingness to leave in his eyes.”

Aunt Ning’s face grew somber.

“Your reminder is very true. She is indeed very different. You know what? Just now, she went so far as to ask me to move in and reunite with Jade Brother under the pretense that Jade Brother had joined the civil service! She also said a lot of reasons, what jade brother has not yet married, I do not give her to worry about the marriage is not fulfill their duties! He also said that if Brother Jade let me stay here, there would be officials who would accuse him of being unfilial – I really wonder how she could say all these things.

“Even if she was abetted, she couldn’t be so sharp-tongued, could she? Could it be that once upon a time she actually lied to me, in fact she knows everything, just pretending to be crazy in front of me?”

“Impossible it …… is not so, the girl did so, will not have any benefits ah. Besides, she is a little girl family, where can she pretend for so long? If it is really pretending, with Mrs.’s discerning eyes, she would have seen it a long time ago.”

“Then how do you think she made this move with me? Obviously not long ago she even asked me to make up my mind on what clothes to wear, but now she’s making underhanded moves all the time, it doesn’t make sense!”

Sister Autumn didn’t know how to take this. After finishing, she stomped her foot and immediately walked over to Aunt Ning again, “If letting Mistress go was really the girl’s intention, then this would be a difficult matter!

“At first, we can stay, but all because of the third girl’s retention and reluctance, and now if the third girl has this heart, then even if the First Mistress and the others do not push the boat, we can not force to stay. Besides, the Marquis has also made a statement, so Mrs. Ning can make up her mind!”

Aunt Ning wandered back and forth twice and stopped: “I still don’t understand what’s going on with her, if she was instigated, then we have to find out who instigated her in order to have peace of mind.

“If she thinks so herself, then it only means that I have been deceived by her for many years, and this breath cannot be endured. But I don’t believe that a little girl’s city can be so deep.”

“It’s not too late to find the instigator later, but it’s a good idea to get this off your chest. If it weren’t for the Marquis’ sake, would Mrs. be as good as being a milkmaid in the Marquis’ house? The marquis actually do not even give a name to the wife, also too chilling.

“The first thing I’d like to say is that I don’t know what to do, but I’d like to know what to do, and I’d like to know what to do. Instead, they are clamoring to find someone outside, in front of the eyes of a wife so good people can not see!”

“Stop it!”

The more Aunt Ning heard, the more she couldn’t calm down, “If he had this idea, he would have thought of it a long time ago! Look at what he’s done besides recommending Jade to be a magistrate.”

“Mistress! You can’t just leave, even if you do, you still have to take care of brother’s future anyway!”

“What can I do?”

“Why don’t you make some soup and send it to the Marquis tonight? Show the marquis some weakness and talk to him?”

Aunt Ning stood still and thought about it, not objecting.

She only suddenly added, “We still need to find out what’s going on with Sister Su! She’s stupid and doesn’t know how to be resourceful, so find a way to get something going to see how she reacts, whether she’s playing dumb or if there’s someone behind the scenes with an idea.”

Sister Autumn thought along with her words and immediately said, “That son of the Xu family has suffered a great loss this time, and will certainly not stop. Mistress just lobby the Marquis, drag on for some time, when Mr. Xu’s injuries are better, the slave girl will surely be able to find an opportunity.”
