Chapter 53: Short-lived appearance

Views:

Qi Surong woke up from a drowsy state with a splitting headache and difficulty breathing.

Qi's mother was taking care of him, her face full of distress.

"Mom, when did you come? How are you at home?" Qi Surong asked in a dry voice.

"Everything is fine at home, you don't have to worry." Qi's mother replied while feeding you water, "I've been here for three days, and you have been feeling groggy. The injuries on your body have not healed, and you have contracted an acute illness. The doctor said that thanks to the treatment, In time, otherwise it will be dangerous."

Qi Surong smiled and said, "My daughter is blessed with great fortune."

Qi's mother said angrily: "You are still in the mood to laugh, but you have lost a lot of weight. You are the most beautiful person, and now you look like this. I'm afraid it's hard to go out and meet people."

"Oh?" Qi Surong touched his face, "It's ugly? Mom, please bring me a mirror."

"Why look in the mirror? It's more important to recover first." Qi's mother was a little worried that she would be sad when she saw her haggard look.

"It's okay. My daughter won't be able to think about it just because she's a little sick." Qi Surong pushed her mother, "Mom, please."

"Okay." Qi's mother never refutes Qi Surong's opinions, and quickly fetched the mirror.

Qi Surong took a look in the mirror. The mirror reflected a pale face with dry lips, thin cheeks, and a few shallow scars on the chin and neck. It was indeed a bit unsightly.

"Ha." Qi Surong suddenly laughed.

Qi's mother was startled and asked nervously: "Daughter, are you okay?"

"It's okay, I just feel that it's good to be alive." Although his body was weak, his mood was bright. She believed that as long as she got through this period, the sea and the sky would be brighter.

"Miss." At this time, Ping'er walked in and said happily, "You finally woke up."

"Yeah." Qi Surong nodded towards her.

Ping'er handed over a letter and said with a smile: "This is sent by Mr. Gu."

Qi's mother said from the side: "Speaking of Mr. Gu, he is indeed good. Since you were imprisoned, the business of Yunrong Xiuzhuang has plummeted. We have to help you with the ups and downs, and the family is getting increasingly poor. If he hadn't donated so generously, I would have I'm afraid your father and I won't be able to hold on for a long time."

Qi Surong smiled and did not tell her that she actually earned the money herself, and she had a share of the Gu family wine cellar and textile shop. She opened the letter, and Gu Jinyun's letter was as concise as ever.

I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you very much. I wonder if you are feeling well? You are recuperating in Fengzhan Villa and it is inconvenient to visit you. Cao Xiang's matter will be resolved soon, and we are waiting for good news. Clouds stay.

Qi Surong asked: "Mom, is there any news from the Cao family?"

Qi's mother shook her head: "I have been taking care of you here. I don't know what the situation is."

Ping'er said: "I have heard some news."

"Oh? Tell me."

"I heard that Cao Xiang encountered robbers on his way out of Beijing and was seriously injured. Fortunately, several descendants of aristocratic families passed by, rescued him, and invited a miracle doctor to treat him." Ping'er said enthusiastically, " It’s a pity that Cao Xiang’s life was saved, but his right hand was disabled, but the children of the aristocratic families and the miracle doctor can prove that there is nothing wrong with Cao Xiang’s eyes.”

Qi Surong smiled and said, "So, my situation has turned around?"

"Definitely." Ping'er nodded, "Since his eyes are fine, then the fact that the lady poisoned him is a false accusation."

"That's great." Qi's mother said in surprise, "I knew my daughter would never harm anyone."

Qi Surong didn't want Gu Jinyun to get involved, but he didn't expect that he could find several children from aristocratic families and a miracle doctor as witnesses, and he also disabled Cao Xiang's hand.

A few days later, Qi Surong's condition gradually improved, and the injuries on her legs also recovered a lot, and she could occasionally go out for a walk with Ping'er's support.

The courtyard in Fengzhan has a quiet environment and a sophisticated layout. Although it is not large, it is very suitable for people to live in.

Qi Surong was sitting in the pavilion, embroidering the scenery she saw into the silk. The breeze blew past her face, picking up a few bunches of blue silk. The fingers move back and forth, stitch by stitch, motion and stillness, and the expression is appropriate.

Feng Zhan walked slowly and slowly, not daring to disturb him, and looked at him dreamily.

When Qi Surong was changing lines, she accidentally saw him and immediately stood up to greet him: "Brother Feng."

"Your foot injury has not healed yet, so there is no need to get up." Feng Zhan walked over quickly and held up her arm.

Qi Surong poured him a cup of tea and said with a smile, "Thank you for taking care of Brother Feng these days."

"No need to say thank you." Feng Zhan picked up the embroidery she put on the table and praised, "The embroidery is so beautiful. If it is completed, can you give it to me?"

"Of course, as long as Brother Feng doesn't dislike it."

"How can you dislike it? Su Rong's embroidery is hard to find in the capital."

Qi Surong smiled lightly and said, "After this, I'm afraid no one will be willing to ask for help."

"Don't worry too much. The name of National Embroidery Master is given by the emperor, and is definitely not comparable to ordinary names. Once this incident is over, it will definitely regain its luster."

"I have received the blessing from my eldest brother."

"By the way." Feng Zhan said again, "Have you heard about Miss Luo's family?"

"Miss Luo, what's wrong with her?"

Feng Zhan smiled and said, "Thanks to you, the Luo family and the Dongyuan Marquis Mansion have terminated their engagement."

Qi Surong was surprised: "The engagement was terminated so soon?"

"Yes." Feng Zhan seemed to find it quite funny, and said in a teasing tone, "After listening to your words that day, Miss Luo immediately sent someone to investigate the situation of the young marquis. As expected, she found that the young marquis was in poor health. It must be replenished with decoction every day. Miss Luo was afraid that she would become a widow according to your words, so she refused the young Marquis' marriage without hesitation. "

"I would like to congratulate the young prince for escaping."

"Haha, you are so invincible that you ruined someone's good marriage with just a few words." Feng Zhan shook his head and said, "I didn't expect that Miss Luo's temperament was so flamboyant. This matter could have been resolved privately, but she was The commotion caused a great deal of commotion, which caused the Marquis's family to lose all face. The relationship between the two families became quite awkward, and the reputation of the young Marquis was also affected. Now there are rumors in the capital that he is ill and may be short-lived."

"I didn't think carefully about this." Qi Surong thought thoughtfully.

"You don't have to worry. This matter has nothing to do with you. It's Miss Luo who doesn't know how to advance or retreat."

"Luo Yanyi is not someone who is willing to suffer losses." Qi Surong said slowly, "I guess she will put the responsibility on me. After all, I was the one who told her about the young marquis."

Feng Zhan's expression dimmed.

As expected by Qi Surong, Luo Yanyi was scolded by her family and felt unhappy. She began to spread the word that the person who cursed the young marquis for his short life was Qi Surong. Marquis Dongyuan only has one son, and he has always regarded him as his fate. Now that he heard that someone dared to curse his short life, how could he not be angry? The Qi family had no contact with the Hou family, but they became enemies because of a few words. Although the Luo family's breakup of the engagement made them angry, Qi Surong's heart-breaking words made them even more angry.

A few days later, Qi Surong's case could have been overturned smoothly, but due to the interference of the Hou Mansion, the case was delayed again and again. She is recovering from her injuries and will be sent back to prison soon. This time, even if Luo Yanyi doesn't take action, the people in the Hou Mansion may not spare her lightly. The Dongyuan Marquis Mansion is not only an aristocratic family, but also holds great power and a high status. Killing a prisoner is just a matter of moving a finger, and other aristocratic families will not even say a word.

Taiwei Mansion.

Luo Yanyi said to Liu Qian'er: "This method is indeed good. It has angered the Hou Mansion. Let's see how Qi Surong can escape this time."

Liu Qian'er fiddled with the glass beads on the plate and said with cold eyes: "It's your own fault."

"That's right." Luo Yanyi said angrily, "If she hadn't talked so much, how could my marriage have failed?"

Liu Qian'er glanced at her and said softly: "If you don't want to miss this marriage, why do you want to break off the engagement? Even if the young prince is really not going to die soon, at least the power of the Hou family can be a great help to your Luo family. "

"Hmph." Luo Yanyi slapped the table and said, "How can I, Luo Yanyi, marry a short-lived ghost? Let me remain a widow and dream!"

Liu Qian'er lowered her eyes and changed the subject: "Qi Surong is very lucky and has the help of noble people. It is difficult to send her to prison this time. We must not give her another chance to escape."

Luo Yanyi smiled and said, "You seem to hate her more than me? Is it because of Mr. Feng?"

Liu Qianer was silent.

"Actually, you don't have to worry at all." Luo Yanyi mocked, "With Qi Surong's current status, there is absolutely no chance between her and Feng Zhan. If you really like him, you should take the initiative."

"How to take the initiative?" Liu Qian'er said lazily, "He doesn't even look at me."

"Then use some other means." Luo Yan leaned close to her and said with a smile, "Don't he often come to the Taiwei Mansion to look for your brother? While he is staying the night, you can..."

Luo Yanyi whispered, Liu Qian'er's face turned red when she heard it, and she refused: "I, Liu Qian'er, will never do such a despicable thing to lower my status."

"How could it be a despicable thing?" Luo Yanyi said disapprovingly, "As long as the plan is more detailed, he will definitely not be able to see the flaws. Let nature take its course and achieve good things, isn't it once and for all?"

"Needless to say, I would not do such a thing."

"Okay, it's up to you." Luo Yanyi smiled meaningfully. She dared to do what Qian'er didn't dare to do...

On the day Qi Surong was sent back to prison, the Hou Mansion welcomed a middle-aged man with an ugly face.

"Who are you?" the servant asked.

"Jiang Yao."

"Do you have a greeting card?"

"Nothing."

"Sorry, the Marquis Mansion does not entertain unknown people."

"Jiang is a traveling doctor and has quite a lot of experience in some difficult and complicated diseases. I wonder if Mr. Marquis would be willing to let me take a look at it?"

When the servant heard this, his expression softened slightly and he said, "You wait a moment, I will report it immediately."

After a while, Jiang Yao was brought into the Hou Mansion. After making some inquiries, Marquis Dongyuan took him to see the young Marquis.

After Jiang Yao made the diagnosis, he only said three words: "It can be cured."

The Marquis of Dongyuan was overjoyed and allowed him to live in the Marquis Mansion and promised him a lot of money.

Jiang Yao only accepted half of it and said: "Master Hou, Jiang rarely treats wealthy people. The reason why he came this time is because he was entrusted by Miss Qi's family. If you want to thank Master Hou, thank her." .”

"Her?" Marquis Dongyuan looked surprised.

A few days ago, after Qi Surong heard from Feng Zhan that Luo Yanyi had broken off their engagement, she immediately wrote a letter of divorce and asked Gu Jinyun to help find a miracle doctor named "Jiang Yao". This miracle doctor was the one who cured Xiao Hou in his previous life. I am a person with old illness.

Perhaps due to luck, the miracle doctor she was looking for happened to be the one Gu Jinyun invited to testify for her, so she went to Jiangyaohou Mansion for consultation.

However, in order to invite Jiang Yao, Gu Jinyun spent a lot of time and wasted some time. Qi Surong was sent back to prison. Just when Jiang Yao was seeing a doctor, a crisis was approaching.
