Sure enough, Duanmu Xinmiao glanced at her and said with a half-smile: "Sister Wei, one of your sisters-in-law, Miss Shen San, will be betrothed to one of my concubine brothers." She explained, "My concubine brother's name is Haomiao, and he is mine. He was raised by his stepmother not long after she came to the house."
Wei Changying frowned and said: "You mean that I will count on you, my concubine brother, for the rest of my life, so you are planning for him like this? It's just that since he is your brother, he cannot be younger than you, such a big person. ...How can you not remember your biological mother? How much kindness can you show to your father for having only raised him for a few years? Besides, he is still young. I remember that your youngest half-brother is only four years old."
In other words, Duanmu Xinmiao's father had children a few years ago. Although the current youngest son is the son of a concubine, Zhou Yueguang, who is still young, may have an heir in the future even if the fate of an heir has not come yet? She could now devote all her energy to supporting the concubine Duanmu Haomiao and hire him the daughter of the Shen family, who was at the height of her popularity. Although she was a concubine... but wasn't Duanmu Haomiao also a concubine? Shen Zangning, the other legitimate daughter of the Shen family, is Shen Xuan's darling, and it is not easy to marry her!
And who in the imperial capital doesn't know that Xiangning Bo Shen Zhou is famous for loving his children? Otherwise, with his status, it would be impossible for him to entrust his still young children to his sister-in-law to help raise them after his first wife passed away, rather than remarry... He is just afraid that the remarried wife will appear virtuous on the surface, but will be harsh on him in private. of flesh and blood.
As Shen Zhou's son-in-law, as long as he doesn't treat his daughter badly, he will always help his son-in-law whenever Shen Zhou is around.
Everyone in the family knew about Shen Zhou's relationship with his brother Shen Xuan and his sister-in-law Mrs. Su. Therefore, many people are making plans for Miss Shen San's Shen Nianmei marriage.
It's just that Shen Lianmei lost her biological mother just when she was about to discuss marriage. The three years of filial piety to her mother only ended last year. It's time for her cousins to talk about getting married-but she's rushing the Shen family to plan the big event of Yi Chu! The eldest uncle and father naturally had no time to interfere with her marriage. As usual, they left full authority to Mrs. Su...
Poor Mrs. Su didn't want to worry about her niece, but after experiencing Shen Zangzhu and Shen Zanghui's marriage, Mrs. Su deeply doubted her... Well, Mrs. Su didn't doubt her own eyesight, but she did. Is his marriage conflict with that of his nieces and nephews
Otherwise, why did Shen Zangzhu choose the future head of her natal family and her direct nephew so well? Seeing the young couple loving each other so sweetly, the joy of being elders had not passed yet—Su Yuxian suddenly fell ill and died! Shen Zangzhu was widowed in her youth and had no children to accompany her. It was quite pitiful. As a result, her mother-in-law forced her to almost die before her husband's funeral ceremony was over...
Although Shen Zanghui is not as miserable as Shen Zangzhu, it is still quite a struggle... If Shen Lianmei's marriage does not go well, Mrs. Su simply doesn't know how to explain it to her husband and brother-in-law!
Therefore, although Mrs. Su had no choice but to take over the marriage, she did not dare to make the decision. She only inquired carefully about the candidates and wrote them down, leaving her husband and brother-in-law free to decide.
As a result, Shen Lengmei's marriage was delayed.
This delay can now be promised to Duanmu Haomiao.
The question is, what does Zhou Yueguang gain from such kindness? She still has no children. If she has children in the future, she is destined to be much younger than her brothers and nephews in age, and she has to devote herself to raising a concubine... She is so sure that Duanmu Haomiao will remember the kindness of her aunt, He doesn't want to fight for the position of the clan leader, but he is determined to help his brother who is old enough to be his son
Even our brothers may not be so generous!
Given Zhou Yueguang's current status, shouldn't she try her best to kill her stepsons and suppress their marriages in order to prepare for her future biological flesh and blood? Even if you want to win over and adopt a stepson to help your future son, should you adopt a stepson who is young and easy to coax? Or is it because this is the Duanmu family's wish, so she can't violate it
After hearing Wei Changying's doubts, Duanmu Xinmiao smiled slightly and said: "Although my stepmother is young, her body... I asked my master to look at it, and he said that it was destined by God that she would not have an heir."
Wei Changying sighed: "I understand, this matter is confusing... So what is the meaning of your dispute with the Deng brothers and sisters?"
Duanmu Xinmiao glanced at her and said, "I've called you my sister for so long! Is there anyone like you who acts like a sister? It's all in the past and you still think I'm going to trick you?"
"Speak as if you have never tricked me." Wei Changying sneered, "You won't tell me about the addition of a sister-in-law until I push you to the extreme!"
Duanmu Xinmiao turned to smile: "Are we two even?" Then he said, "It's just for the imperial concubine to see. Although my adoptive father and stepmother promised to do their best to help me take care of my eldest sister and nephew, you also know, The two of them are now members of the clan. Even if their adoptive father and stepmother are in a high position, the Holy Father has to give them some dignity. Why don't they rashly interfere with the elders in the royal family to discipline the younger ones? Why don't they beat Concubine Deng and tell her not to do it? It’s better to be confused.”
"Say it like I'm a fool!" After hearing these words, Wei Changying still had a sullen face and sneered again and again, "If you don't tell the truth, believe it or not, I will really beat you up?!"
Duanmu Xinmiao spat: "Is there any sister-in-law like you?"
Wei Changying reminded: "Don't forget that you are still calling me 'Sister Wei' right now! Your identity as sister-in-law is just for show!"
"Who said I was just showing off?" Duanmu Xinmiao sneered, "I will change my name to you third sister-in-law right now. I tell you, if you dare to treat me badly in the future, when my third brother comes back, I will cry to him immediately! I will also write a letter to the imperial capital to file a complaint against you!"
"How dare you offend my sister-in-law like this!" Wei Changxu pointed at the center of her eyebrows and said with a half-smile, "You really don't think about it anymore, right? Now that your adoptive father and stepmother are not here, you really want to be your sister-in-law." I'm so anxious! I'm going to marry you randomly, and you won't even have time to cry!"
Duanmu Xinmiao snorted: "So what if I'm betrothed? If the person doesn't like me, the worst I can do is poison him to death and marry him again!"
"Calm down!" After a few words of bickering, Wei Changying felt better. He shook his head and sighed, "You just came out with the name of your little miracle doctor. If someone hears what you said, Ji The miraculous doctor’s dignity will be lost by you!”
Duanmu Xinmiao said disapprovingly: "Master, he doesn't care about these false names."
"Speaking of which, Divine Doctor Ji asked you to conduct a free clinic here to attract his relatives..." Wei Changying was interrupted by Duanmu Xinmiao before he could finish his words - the eighth lady almost screamed: "What free clinic?! I When did you say it was a free clinic!”
Wei Changying looked at her speechlessly: "Don't be so excited..."
"You won't tell those people outside that I want a free clinic, right? Although you are both my sister and my sister-in-law, I have told you first - if you dare not discuss it with me, you will cut off my financial resources. "Don't blame me for fighting against you!" Duanmu Xinmiao changed his calm demeanor when he faced the attack by the guard commander Ying Liyan, gritted his teeth and shouted, "I hope to take this opportunity to make a lot of money and return home." The Empress of the Imperial City is so happy to study medical science! You’re free of charge for other people’s consultations, or you’re going to pay me!”
"..." Wei Changying smiled a little reluctantly, "It's just that I thought you wanted a free clinic, but I didn't say a word to the outside world."
Duanmu Xinmiao was still unconvinced. He confirmed with her again and again before relaxing. He sat back on the table and hummed: "You should be more careful when you speak later. It really scared me to death! There are so many people and so much money for consultation." , If they all fly away, wouldn’t I be heartbroken?”
Wei Changying was not surprised as to why Duanmu Xinmiao, who was the legitimate daughter of the Duanmu family and had received part of the property as a gift from her sister and grandmother, was so greedy for money. After the incident with the medicine bracelet, Wei Changying was not surprised.
She was surprised: "Since you are willing to practice medicine and save money, why don't you visit the doctor more often when you are in the imperial capital?"
With Ji Qubing's golden name, it would be difficult for Duanmu Xinmiao to lower his consultation fees. Previously, I heard that Duanmu Xinmiao smashed all the jadeite given by Duanmu Weimiao and her grandmother in order to make medicinal jewelry, and even sold other private property to exchange for jadeite, which made her bankrupt. Wei Changying wondered in his heart what happened to this rich lady. He was reduced to asking for a bracelet from a stranger like himself. After all, a master like Duanmu Xinmiao who has excellent medical skills and noble status, can't he still practice medicine without money
But considering that Ji Qubing and Duanmu Xinmiao had different temperaments from ordinary people, Wei Changying speculated that this might be because the genius doctors had different temperaments and did not like to treat people.
Now seeing Duanmu Xinmiao gearing up and wanting to have a big fight right away... oh no, making a lot of money, Wei Changying felt quite speechless.
When Duanmu Xinmiao heard this, he felt a little sad and said, "Don't you think I don't want to save this money? But think about how many doctors there are in the imperial capital? It's normal for a family like ours to hire an imperial doctor! I Everyone in the imperial capital knows about Master's temper and rules! It's not like Mrs. Deng, who is too incurable, so you, a daughter of the Wei family, would drag her husband, who is healthy and safe, to seek medical treatment! I just sit in the hall every day waiting for someone to come. Do you think there is only one in a few years? Do you think that the eighth lady of Jinxiu Duanmu, who is the only descendant of the most famous doctor in the country, is still going around asking people to come to see them when they are sick? I can’t?”
Wei Changying thought about the experience of forcing her husband to go to Ji's house to seek medical treatment with her before, and felt a little sad in her heart. She sighed: "That's true, but I was confused. I thought you didn't like others." Diagnosis and treatment!”
"How could I not love to diagnose and treat people!" Duanmu Xinmiao became angrier as he talked about such topics, and said angrily, "Don't you know that the more you treat people, the more skilled you become? If I hadn't been taught by my master who has been practicing medicine for many years, I don’t even dare to come to Xiliang with you!”
She sighed, "However, the opportunities to take action in the imperial capital are too few, too few, too few! And it's rare to take action. The one who dares to invite me is either Mrs. Deng or you. Even though I have many ideas in my heart, I don’t dare to use it very much, lest something happens and I can’t afford to explain it!”
Speaking of this, Duanmu Xinmiao smiled like a fox, "But it's different in Xiliang! Even if there are some well-educated people who come to seek medical treatment, they can..."
Wei Changying thought she was going to say, "But the Duanmu family behind me can control it." Unexpectedly, Duanmu Xinmiao said, "But after all, there are three sisters-in-law here. I believe that no matter what trouble I cause, Third sister-in-law, you can definitely solve it for me!"
"...Don't worry!" Guard Chief Ying patted her shoulder earnestly and said with a smile, "Whenever you dare not follow the rules and practice with human lives in a mess, I will break your legs and send you back to the imperial capital. Go to recuperate!”
Duanmu Xinmiao threatened her: "My master is in Fengzhou now, and your father is under my master's command!"
"You can lie to me, but I can't lie to him?" Wei Changying was unmoved and snorted, "Don't forget, my grandparents are there in Fengzhou. Believe it or not, I sent a handwritten letter to my grandfather. Grandma can hide everything from Doctor Ji with just one sentence?"
Duanmu Xinmiao said angrily: "I will rely on my elders for my knowledge! Shameless!"
"It's as if you didn't mention Divine Doctor Ji first!" Wei Changying stared at her for a moment, then Duanmu Xinmiao threw herself on the case and sighed: "Oh, no kidding... my master asked me to I treat people here, firstly, to find their relatives, and secondly, it really allows me to hone my medical skills!"
Wei Changying knew nothing about medical skills, so he asked curiously: "Why is it that your medical skills are not as good as your master's, but aren't they good enough? I see that after you arrived, my husband's injuries healed very quickly!"
"What does third brother's injury mean?" Although he had just changed his mind, Duanmu Xinmiao remembered it very well, so he called the Shen family members according to the identity of the adopted daughter of Ming Peitang. At this moment, he sneered and said, "The one who saved you earlier The guards are my method! But these are not unusual! I tell you, the trauma is just the same here! But the illness is different. I couldn’t cure Mrs. Deng’s illness before!
Wei Changying said in surprise: "It really can't be cured? I thought you were not happy to treat grandma, so that's why you delayed it?"
"Why are you delaying? In those days, I was thinking about a few ancient prescriptions. I wish I could treat her as soon as possible, get the medical expenses and leave!" Duanmu Xinmiao snorted, "But I couldn't make up my mind after thinking about it, so I went to ask the master, But Master refused to say it clearly! Do you think it’s torture? After a few days, Master saw that I couldn’t think of it anymore, so he reminded me!”
"There is such a thing!" Guard Chief Yingguai was surprised, "But in this way, you killed two birds with one stone: you not only found relatives for the commander; you also earned medical expenses that are difficult to earn in the imperial capital; He also sharpened his medical skills... Speaking of which, His Highness King Cai will become a feudal lord soon. If you follow him to the fiefdom, you can better take care of the mother and son, right? "
Duanmu Xinmiao responded subconsciously: "Isn't it? When my nephew becomes a feudal lord, eh?!" (To be continued)
