"No, we are not!" Yuchun denied in panic.
"Then what are you doing here? Hurry up and leave!" The old doctor sighed and pointed at the manor. "That place is not a good place. Someone was beaten to death and buried there before."
The old doctor shook his head after saying this.
"You...how did you know that?" Yu Chun's face turned pale with panic, and he took two steps back in fear, retreating to the side of the pavilion pillar. It was obvious that he was really frightened.
“I’m the doctor there. People there have been sick recently… Fortunately, they are almost recovered now.” The old doctor shook his head helplessly.
"Are you well now? Is the illness serious?" Yu Dong asked unconsciously, seeming very concerned about the matter.
"Of course the disease is serious. Fortunately, it is winter now and we have been isolated early, so it is nothing serious. Even the master... is alive and well, just a..." The old doctor paused here, and then sighed, "It's just that the woman is pitiful, she is almost dying from being tortured."
The old doctor shook his head and said, "If this continues, he will definitely not live for a few more days. He looks young and good-looking. I don't know what happened to him."
"What kind of woman is she?" Yudong pulled Yuchun and walked forward alone and asked curiously.
"What kind of person is she? She looks gentle and doesn't look like a bad person. I seemed to hear a maid calling her the eldest lady the other day." The old doctor shook his head and sighed, "They are from a powerful family. I'm afraid the so-called eldest lady is not that valuable."
No matter what kind of family it is, the title of "young lady" is not that valuable. If you think about it carefully, it is unless they are from the royal family.
There is an answer that is about to come out, and any smart person can hear it.
The old doctor stood up and pulled the medicine box behind him, "I also brought her some medicine this time, I hope it can help her a little."
"Doctor, why don't you let the carriage go directly to the farm?" Yu Dong rolled his eyes and pointed at the farm.
"It's not convenient for the carriage to go there, it's not convenient!" The doctor shook his head, and suddenly stopped and looked at them up and down, "Are you really not from this farm?"
"We are not... We are here to look for our eldest daughter." Yuchun looked at Yudong, hesitant and timid, "Our eldest daughter... was taken away and we can't find her now. She is in this area."
"You... stop talking nonsense!" The old doctor took a step back in fear and looked at them in horror.
"It's true, our eldest lady looks like this..." Yu Chun described Qu Xuexin's appearance, looks, and characteristics in detail.
The more he listened to her, the more panicked the old doctor became, and the uglier his expression became. He held the medicine box tightly in his hands, and it was obvious that he was frightened.
"This... this is really it!" After Yuchun finished speaking, the old doctor only said this, his eyes wide open.
The two maids looked at each other in surprise.
"Doctor, please help us." Yu Dong hurried forward and saluted.
"Help... help with what?" The eldest lady took a step back in panic and looked at them warily.
"Just help us deliver a letter. We don't ask for anything else, okay?" Yu Dong reached out and took out a letter from his arms. "You are a doctor. Your job is to cure illnesses and save lives. Saving a life is like building a seven-story pagoda. Please help our young lady just this once. Otherwise, she will really die."
"This..." The doctor was very hesitant. Most people didn't dare to get involved in this matter.
"Doctor, please, our eldest daughter is still so young. If she loses her life at such a young age, our wife will cry to death." Yuchun also stepped forward and begged.
"Don't worry, sir. This is just a dispute between wives and concubines. No matter how powerful the master is, he is not the master of the mansion.
The male master in the house, our eldest lady is not running away after leaving, she will go to find the eldest lady's husband." Yu Dong reacted quickly and thought of another way to word it.
It means that this matter will not be a big deal and it will not be wrong. When wives and concubines fight with each other, it all depends on the male master's opinion in the end. The one who gains the upper hand may be the one who was in a weak position before. This kind of thing is the most unpredictable.
"This... well, there is only one letter. I dare not send any other ones in." The old doctor was persuaded and hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Thank you very much, doctor. Thank you very much, doctor." The two maids were overjoyed and hurriedly handed over the letter.
The old doctor took it hesitantly, looked at them again, and nodded to accept it.
The two maids saw the old doctor entering the manor from a distance in the pavilion, and then they looked at each other and left...
"Is this the letter sent from the Qu Mansion?" Ji Youran looked at the letter handed over by the maid.
She did have smallpox, but because she was well prepared, it was not a big problem now. She just had to take good care of the scar. There was no one else in the room, and she did not cover her veil.
There are still many scars on her originally beautiful face that have not healed completely, especially the old wound on one side of her cheek. That area heals the slowest and has the most scars. It still hurts if you touch it slightly. This is because the previous injury has not healed completely, and then she got smallpox, which made the injury worse.
Even if all the ceiling falls off, a black scar will be left behind.
For this reason, Ji Youran hated the Qu sisters to death.
Yes, not just Qu Xuexin, but also Qu Moying. She wished she could tear them both apart, but until now, she hadn't really done anything to Qu Xuexin.
She was waiting, waiting for an opportunity to hurt Qu Xuexin, but this opportunity was not something she asked for. She was the most virtuous concubine in the Prince's Mansion, so how could she do such a vicious thing
Beating Qu Xuexin that day was an action under actual control. The expression of the prince when he left made Ji Youran sober up. No matter what, she could not do anything to hurt Qu Xuexin again.
She is very tolerant. She could tolerate Ji Hanyue back then, and she can tolerate it even more now.
"Yes, I secretly saw it clearly. It was the maidservant beside Miss Qu Si. Do we need to give the letter to that bitch?" The maidservant nodded.
"Go and get it." Ji Youran nodded. The letter had been prepared long ago, and the content inside was also designed by her. Naturally, it was different from the one sent by Qu Moying. However, she didn't want Qu Moying to really take Qu Xuexin away. As long as there was such a letter and the maid did come, the matter would be done.
He wrote the same letter he had prepared according to the handwriting on Qu Moying's letter. It looked the same from the outside. He also rewrote the letter paper inside, following the handwriting as closely as possible. The tone was also Qu Moying's. He was not afraid that Qu Xuexin would be fooled after reading the letter.
As for the original letter, since it was no longer useful, it was simply torn up and disposed of.
The key to this matter is that Qu Moying sent the letter, Qu Xuexin received it, and then acted according to the letter, and finally something went wrong...
"Okay, send this letter over." Ji Youran sneered. She had originally thought that Miss Qu Si might not be easily hooked, but she didn't expect that she would come once she was lured. Then this matter would be pushed onto her, the Princess of England? A lowly blind girl, didn't she even consider whether she was worthy of him
She turned out to be the King of England’s wife. Even though Ji Youran had some guesses before, she had not expected this result.
Ji Youran has always had a vague feeling that she and Miss Qu Si were incompatible. Perhaps if she wanted to be good to her, she could never let her be good to her. This feeling was very mysterious, and she couldn't explain the reason, but when she thought about it carefully, there were always some clues.
It is obviously wrong to regard this girl as an uneducated country girl. After fighting with the fourth young lady of the Qu Mansion several times, Ji Youran always felt aggrieved, as if she was restrained by nature.
.
She wanted to take this opportunity to vent her grievances and destroy the reputation of the newly appointed British princess. She wanted to see whether the arrogant and domineering King of England would marry such an unbearable woman again.
She abruptly took the prince's woman away from his villa, and caused the eldest Miss Qu to overturn and break her leg, and even scratched her face. What good reputation does this fourth Miss Qu have? How much will the eldest wife of the Qu family hate her
The prince has always stated that the royal family cares most about reputation, and such a reputation is also fatal to Qu Moying.
This "letter" from Qu Moying is the most real evidence.
"Yes, Madam, I will deliver it now!"
Qu Xuexin lived in the most remote and lonely house, with only a thin blanket thrown in it.
She had had smallpox before, but she didn't get it this time. The wounds on her body had just healed, and then Ji Youran sent people to beat her up, and her body is still not in good shape.
"Miss, the Qu family is here to rescue us." Hongmei came in from outside, holding a letter in her hand, very excited.
"My mother... Is it my mother who came to save me?" Qu Xuexin sat up from the bed trembling, her face pale.
It was too cold here, and Ji Youran didn't prepare any extra warm clothes or quilts for the master and servant, and even the food they had was just leftovers.
"It's not... it's... it's the Fourth Miss's." Hongmei said.
"She... How could she be so kind as to save me?" Qu Xuexin didn't believe it and put her hands on the bed.
"It's true. Please take a look at this letter." Hongmei handed over the letter. She was also shivering and was wearing very thin clothes.
The master and servant were suddenly abducted here, so they had no reason to prepare any extra clothes. After changing their clothes, they became the same clothes that ordinary people in the farm wore, and they were thin at that.
"Is it fake?" Qu Xuexin asked vigilantly, and took the letter and examined it carefully.
The handwriting above is similar, so they should all have been written by Qu Moying.
"I don't think it's fake. Even if it is fake, it wouldn't be written in the name of the Fourth Young Miss. Wouldn't it be more believable if it was written in someone else's name? This letter was sent by the maid who gave the bribe that day." Hongmei explained in a low voice. It was that maid who sent the letter, and it was also the maid who received it.
"Would Qu Moying be so kind as to really save me?" Qu Xuexin still didn't believe it.
"Maybe it was Madam who went to ask for help! Didn't we spread the news before that you gave the hairpin on your head to the maid at the back door? Madam couldn't help herself, so she went to ask the fourth young lady for help. The Duke of Qi's Mansion has always looked up to the fourth young lady. If the Duke of Qi's Mansion intervenes, the young lady will definitely be saved."
Hongmei said anxiously.
Every day here is like a year. If she could regret, Hongmei would never have followed Qu Xuexin here.
Now, no matter who throws her a life-saving straw, Hongmei will reach out and grab it.
After she said that, Qu Xuexin read the letter again with half belief and half doubt. There was a hint of reprimand in the words, and it also said that she didn't want to forgive her, but after her aunt's crying, she agreed to give it a try. Of course, if Qu Xuexin didn't believe it, she didn't have to come.
"What's this... nothing." After reading the letter, Qu Xuexin was furious and shook the letter in her hand vigorously. "My mother thought that bitch Qu Moying really wanted to save me. Look at what she wrote. It's a bunch of nonsense. She just came to scold me. Let's try it. How can we try it?"
"Miss, letter... letter..."
"I know it's a letter."
"There are words on the back of the letter." Hongmei was very excited and stared at the back of the letter.
Qu Xuexin was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned the letter over to read the words on it. Her eyes lit up. This was the letter that could help her solve her dilemma...
