The Lai family was in chaos, and the news that Shuntian Prefecture came to arrest the commander of the Jinyiwei spread to everyone that afternoon, without even the next day.
Commander Lai, who was so glorious, suddenly became a wanted criminal. Everyone was caught off guard, but more people were gloating over his misfortune.
After all, Lai Weiqi acted arrogantly when he was in power and offended many people. In addition, his reputation is now bad, and most people are waiting to see him get into trouble.
When the news reached the Su family, Mrs. Su sneered: "He really deserves to be struck by lightning. At this critical moment, he still committed a crime!"
Old Mrs. Su already knew that Dr. Shen almost got into trouble, and she also knew that it was related to Lai Weiqi. She already hated Lai Weiqi to begin with, and now Lai Weiqi wanted to destroy her precious grandson's hopes and prevent Su Rong from curing his leg. She wished that Lai Weiqi would die on the spot.
Su Rong's attitude was much more moderate. He shook his head and said to Mrs. Su, "Lai Weiqi is a selfish person. The day before yesterday, he was still running around trying to get himself off the hook. How could he commit a crime at this critical moment? He must have been framed."
Being framed
Old Mrs. Su thought it was a bit fresh to use this word on Lai Weiqi: "He has always been the one who framed others, and now he has this day."
This is truly a case of not reporting without due time.
"He has no way out." Su Rong said calmly, without any hatred, "His affair with Concubine Jiang is known to everyone, and no one can save him. Now it seems that he has been betrayed by his own people."
It’s good that Lai Weiqi ran away.
Once he completely gives up on those people, he might become a useful chess piece.
Seeing that her grandson was speaking so clearly, it was obvious that he knew all about this, so Mrs. Su stopped talking and just nervously held the cup in her hand, frowning and asking, "Why haven't you come yet?"
It was agreed that Doctor Shen would arrive today, but the Wang family said this morning that he would come in the afternoon, but there has been no movement since then.
Originally, Old Mrs. Su wanted to ask someone to urge him, but she was afraid that she would annoy others and make Doctor Shen unhappy, so she is extremely anxious now.
Even Lai Weiqi's matter could only divert her attention for a moment.
Su Xingyi and Su Yao just came back from the meeting room. Seeing her fidgeting like this, she stepped forward and massaged her shoulders coaxingly: "It's not too late now, don't worry too much, nothing will happen."
The Wang family has repeatedly assured that they will send the person over safely.
Following her granddaughter's reminder, Mrs. Su glanced at Su Rong. Worried that Su Rong was burdened, she finally relaxed her brows: "Yes, yes, yes, I was too anxious..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Xia came in with a smile and reported: "Madam, the eldest wife of the Wang family is here!"
Finally, she came! Old Mrs. Su clasped her hands together, prayed devoutly, and said repeatedly: "Quick, quick, quick, please come in, please come in!"
At this time, rules didn't matter. Master Su San went to the Wang family to pick someone up in person, and now he naturally brought Mrs. Wang in.
Before he entered the door, he heard Old Mrs. Su calling "Third Brother".
This was the happiest time that Old Lady Su had seen him in all these years. Master Su San paused, and when he looked up and saw Old Lady Su's gray hair and anxious face, the slight jealousy in his heart finally disappeared. He walked a few steps, supported Old Lady Song's arm, and replied respectfully: "Mother, Madam Wang is here with Doctor Shen."
Old Madam Su patted Master Su San's hand and looked towards Madam Wang tremblingly.
Mrs. Wang immediately smiled and introduced the short, thin middle-aged man who followed in: "Old lady, this is my brother from my mother's family. You can call him Aqing."
But Old Mrs. Su hurriedly called out "Doctor Shen" and almost rushed towards him.
Doctor Shen was a short and sturdy man. He must have seen this kind of situation many times. He didn't show much reaction on the surface. He helped old lady Su slowly and said softly, "Madam, you don't have to be like this. I'm not sure if I can cure your grandson's leg."
Old Mrs. Su was like a bucket of cold water poured over her head, but she was not too disappointed. She just wiped her tears and said hurriedly: "No, no, no, Dr. Shen, don't say that. I dare not ask for anything..."
She was already somewhat incoherent.
Su Rong's eyes turned red. He knew in his heart that something was wrong with his leg. The ones who were more distressed than him were Old Madam Su and Su Xingyi. They heard that his leg might be cured, and they hadn't had a good night's sleep in the past few days. Old Madam Su even stayed in the Buddhist temple most of the night every day just to pray for Buddha's blessing for him.
Doctor Shen waved his hand, signaling Mrs. Su not to say anything more. Without further delay, he looked at Su Rong, walked up to him and tapped on his knee, observing his reaction.
Seeing that Su Rong had no reaction, he pinched Su Rong's feet again, from the calves to the thighs, frowning all the time.
During the whole process, Old Mrs. Su held her breath and concentrated, not wanting to make the slightest movement, for fear of disturbing Dr. Shen's treatment.
Su Xingyi also looked at her brother anxiously and nervously held Su Yao's hand.
Su Yao did not focus all her attention on Doctor Shen, but stared at Su Rong carefully. Seeing that Su Rong was just frowning, she became a little worried.
Is there really no hope
Doctor Shen's examination seemed to last a long time, but it also seemed to be just a moment. Doctor Shen finally stood up, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and said as if no one was around: "I can't see anything at the moment, but you have taken good care of him. I have seen that he is not like those ordinary people who cannot walk. He is skinny and his blood vessels seem to be unobstructed... Let me observe him carefully in the next few days."
As he spoke, he looked up at Old Lady Su and said, "Would you mind clearing a room for me? It would be best if it was close to the young master so that I can take care of him more easily."
Although he didn't say anything, Dr. Shen was neither hurried nor slow. He was not like those doctors who said it was useless at first glance, nor like those liars who patted their chests and made promises. Mrs. Su felt much better, and even her nervousness was finally relieved. She nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, don't worry, I'll get it ready for you. I don't know if you like it..."
"No big request." Doctor Shen waved his hand. "Just a bed to sleep on is enough. Nothing else is needed. But prepare some herbs for me. I'll write a prescription for you. You can follow my prescription to get the herbs back. They will be useful when the time comes."
