Seeing the harmonious scene between Su Ningxin and the old lady made several ladies feel dazzled. It happened that they also wanted to send someone privately to inform the front yard of some news, so they went out one after another on the pretext of getting some fresh air.
It was just the eldest lady's behavior that made Su Ningxin pay a little attention, because she seemed to be a little preoccupied, and she was not in a hurry to go out and order her servants to deliver messages like other ladies.
She seemed to be thinking about something. She looked up and looked around and was stunned for a moment when she saw that the other ladies were gone. Then, as if she didn't want to be different from others, she got up and said to the old lady that she had gone out to see if the medicine was better.
Su Ningxin was not interested in knowing what the eldest lady was thinking. She just remembered the matter and stopped thinking about it. While chatting with the old lady, she was thinking about her intentions. The old lady really loved her eldest daughter of the Su family. Has it come to this? Do you love me so much that you don't care about the dissatisfaction of everyone in the Su family but you still want to give the dagger to yourself
Su Ningxin was deeply doubtful about this, because the time she spent with the old lady was really short. The old lady must have loved her, but she didn't have such a deep relationship. Deep feelings need to be cultivated, but She didn't have time to develop a relationship with the old lady.
Or is there some message the old lady wants to convey? But Su Ningxin was not very familiar with the recent situation of the Su family, so she really couldn't think of what the old lady wanted to say.
But there is no need to be anxious. Let the old lady recover from her illness first. Once she recovers, it will be clear what she wants to do.
As the ladies left, the girls who stayed in the house were no longer so restrained and began to whisper. It was just that the Su family had to marry several daughters in a hurry because of the need to observe filial piety after the death of their ancestors. They were afraid that observing filial piety for three years would delay their years. The ones left here are all children, and the eldest is Su Jiaxin, who has just turned thirteen.
Seeing that her mother was gone, Su Jiaxin also came to Su Ningxin to talk to her. She would ask questions about things she had never seen before, which avoided the embarrassment of Su Ningxin having to talk to her all the time.
The old lady always held Su Ningxin's hand while chatting. She took the opportunity to use her half-baked medical skills to check the old lady's pulse, and then quickly confirmed that the old lady was poisoned, and it was a kind of poison that was not very clever. The poison has been circulating in the backyard of the capital to harm people.
Basically, any doctor with a similar level of poison can tell that it is poisoning. The detoxification requires superb medical skills, but an imperial doctor is enough.
But why did Su Jiaxin say that the Hou Mansion invited an imperial doctor to come and see it, but it had no effect? Was the imperial doctor bribed? Apart from this explanation, Su Ningxin couldn't find any other explanation.
[The imperial doctor nowadays is really becoming more and more spineless, and I don’t know how many red envelopes he has received.]
Su Ningxin thought silently in her heart. She had no intention of retaliating against the imperial doctor. He probably didn't dare to actually poison people. He just concealed the fact that the old lady was poisoned and did not publicize it. Such a situation was actually in the Imperial Hospital. very common.
These imperial doctors may seem to have high status to outsiders, but in fact they are just servants in the palace. Even if they sit at the head of the hospital, their rank is not high. If they get involved in the backyard disputes of these high-ranking officials and noble families, they may die. I don’t know, so when most imperial doctors are involved in this kind of thing, they just protect themselves and ignore the matter as it has nothing to do with themselves.
If we say that all imperial doctors are like this, it is not necessarily the case. Those imperial doctors with a strong sense of justice are often silenced when something happens. Especially since the imperial doctors live outside the palace, it is not like eunuchs and maids are always there. In the palace, assassination should not be too simple.
If everyone is caught and killed like this, aren't the ones left in the end the ones who know how to protect themselves wisely
Thinking of this, Su Ning couldn't help but feel a little sad, and silently lit a candle in her heart for those stubborn doctors.
I was debating whether I should directly find an imperial doctor to come to the house to treat the old lady, or send the old lady to a manor outside the city for treatment by the imperial doctor.
Su Ningxin was very confident in the head of the hospital. With his status, he would not be threatened by the Su family. However, considering the recent unrest in the capital, it would not be a bad thing to let the old head of the house and the old lady hide outside the city.
The situation now is different from that in the previous life. In the previous life, Prince Jing joined other vassal princes and led troops to besiege the city. The most dangerous place was outside the capital city. But in this life, both the late emperor and Chu Luojue were wary of Prince Jing and kept weakening him. With the power of the vassal kings from all sides, it is impossible to gather such an army now.
If Prince Jing wants to force the palace to seize the throne, he can only break up his soldiers into pieces and hide in the capital, and then gather at the gate of the palace when there is an uprising. This way, it is very safe outside the city.
While Su Ning was thinking about this, several ladies also came back one after another. Obviously their relationship was not very good, so they did not go together.
At this time, a little maid came over to report, "The Crown Prince and his wife are back to visit the old lady."
Su Ning thought for a while before she responded. She remembered that it was Su Lanxin who married the prince of Zhenguo. At first, she felt that the Duke of Zhenguo was not very honest, so she planned to use Su Lanxin as a thorn in her. Unfortunately, later I went directly to Daming Mansion and did not contact her.
The fourth lady frowned and complained, "You are all from the Zhenguo Duke's mansion and yet you are so unruly. You didn't even know to send a greeting card before you came back. As expected, the concubine just can't hold up the wall."
Everyone just glanced at the Fourth Madam and said nothing. They all knew that she was expressing dissatisfaction with the Third Fang. They did not dare to target the Third Madam or Su Ningxin, so they could only criticize Su Lanxin, the concubine.
Although she knew who she was targeting, the expressions of several concubines present also became unhappy. They were already very sensitive, and it was really miserable to be shot by the fourth lady's map cannon.
Su Ningxin would not be too bored to complain to others, but would extract useful information for herself from the fourth lady's words.
Generally speaking, the ranks of Zhen Guo Gong and An Jun Wang are similar. Zhen Guo Gong has the title of Duke of the Four Kingdoms, An Jun Wang is a relative of the emperor, Zhen Guo Gong is a close official of the emperor, and An Jun Wang guards one territory, and both sides have weak points. Similarly, if there are no descendants who can support the family business, there is really no distinction between them. They are all existences that the Xuanning Marquis Mansion wants to cling to.
But the fourth lady was kind to herself, but she dared to ridicule Su Lanxin in front of so many people. It seemed that Su Lanxin's status in the Zhenguo Palace was not good.
Of course, it is not ruled out that the Fourth Madam is simply too reckless and doesn't care about the other person's identity as much as scolding her to make herself happy. Such words have nothing to do with Su Lanxin's status in the Duke's Mansion.
Not long after the servants came and went, Su Lanxin walked in from outside. Judging from her dress, she seemed to be in a hurry.
