Jiang Yanyi was on her way to Jiang Yangui's courtyard when she was stopped by a servant and asked to go there.
Chi Qing handed the medicine and the new prescription to her on behalf of Feng Shuo, saying that Feng Shuo was discussing important matters with Master Chu and others.
To hand over an item, Feng Shuo could have asked the servant in his mansion to do it, but he asked Chi Qing to hand it to him personally. It was obvious that he was afraid that the medicine would be tampered with.
Jiang Yanyi suddenly felt that what the doctor from Feng Mansion had said before, that there was a missing pill in the medicine Jiang Yangui was taking, was not simple.
She carefully looked at the new prescription written by the doctor and found that it was no different from the prescription that Jiang Yangui had taken before.
The medicine that Jiang Yangui had taken before, and several packets of it, were brought from the capital, but they were not completely boiled. The doctor from Feng Mansion also looked at the medicine that day and said there was no problem with it.
When Jiang Yanyi went to the ear room to get medicine, Chu Zhong saw her taking the medicine bag she brought from the capital, and suddenly said, "Miss, the medicine that Master Cousin is taking now is more effective than the previous one. Let's boil the new medicine prescribed by the doctor."
Jiang Yanyi felt that he was hiding something from her, so she asked, "Uncle Zhong, is there something wrong with these medicines?"
Chu Zhong hesitated for a moment before saying, "I am not a doctor, so I don't know the pharmacology of this medicine, but the young master seems to have a very strong drug. He took the painkillers from Xinglin Clinic before, but it didn't work. There were no painkillers on the way, so the young master only took this medicine. He banged his head against the car wall several times because of the pain, and even asked me to tie him up."
Jiang Yanyi didn't expect there was such a hidden secret. She said angrily: "Why didn't you tell me before!"
Previously, the doctor in Feng Mansion only said that this pill was used for anti-inflammatory and analgesic purposes, but Jiang Yanyi did not know that the other complementary medicines were so powerful.
Chu Zhong lowered his head and said, "My cousin didn't allow me to say it."
He didn't know much about medicine, and he had previously thought that the painkillers were just for pain relief, and that the treatment medicine was still the external herbal medicine and the medicine boiled for Jiang Yangui to drink every day. On the way, Jiang Yangui's wound worsened, and they fled all the way to Xizhou. Jiang Yangui told him not to tell Chu Changping, fearing that Chu Changping would go find a doctor for him, which would cause complications.
Chu Zhong didn't know that there would be problems with taking that dose of medicine alone. It was common for wounds to fester if they were wrapped too tightly in winter, so he didn't suspect anything. He was afraid that the entire Chu family would be in danger again, and Jiang Yangui repeatedly told him about it, but he didn't say anything.
After Jiang Yanyi asked the doctor to examine Jiang Yangui and change the medicine, Jiang Yangui's injuries improved significantly. He then realized that without the painkillers, there would be big problems using that prescription alone.
Jiang Yanyi asked: "Why didn't you go to Xinglin Clinic to buy medicine in advance when you left the capital?"
Chu Zhongwei said in embarrassment: "Miss, I was only responsible for taking care of the young master on the road. When the young master was in the capital, he was taken care of by the servants of the Chu family. I don't know what happened at that time."
Jiang Yanyi also knew that she was taking her anger out on others. She took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, Uncle Zhong. I was too excited."
Chu Zhong blamed himself very much: "Miss cousin, what are you talking about? Third Master asked me to take care of Young Master, but I didn't take good care of him. This is my dereliction of duty."
Jiang Yanyi sighed and handed over the medicine bag in his hand: "From now on, Yangui, if you have any problems, you must tell me immediately. I have asked someone to prepare the painkillers, you can go and boil the medicine."
Chu Zhongying said so.
Jiang Yanyi went to Jiang Yangui's room.
Jiang Yangui had already finished his meal and was reading a book in his hands.
Jiang Yanyi pushed the door open and walked in. He raised his head and said with a smile on his face, "Sister is here."
Seeing that Jiang Yanyi didn't say anything and her expression was obviously not right, he put away the smile on his face and asked, "What's wrong, sister?"
Jiang Yanyi said: "Yan Gui, are you hiding something from me?"
Jiang Yangui narrowed his eyes slightly: "Why do you say that, sister?"
Jiang Yanyi asked, "Why did you prepare a lot of external herbs and other internal medicines before leaving the capital, but only didn't buy painkillers?"
When Jiang Yangui heard this, the last trace of smile on his face disappeared, and the hand that was holding the scroll was so tight that his knuckles turned white.
"Can you say something?" Jiang Yanyi felt so distressed when she thought that he might delay treatment due to the inflammation of his leg injury.
Jiang Yangui's eyes slowly turned red. "Sister, my mother and I hid in the Chu family like dogs that had lost their homes. My mother had always had many conflicts with my aunt. When the Chu family suffered this misfortune, my two uncles still spoke coldly to my mother and me, not to mention my aunt. Whenever my mother wanted to buy something, she had to be humble in front of my aunt and say good things before my aunt would buy it for her. That small bottle of pills was so expensive, and my aunt didn't buy it when she heard that it was just for pain relief. My mother was forced to give the bracelet given by my grandmother to the servants and asked them to pawn it in the pawnshop to buy medicine for me. My aunt knew about this and thought that my mother had money on her. When she was about to leave the capital, no matter what my mother said, she refused to buy painkillers."
"My mother wanted to complain to my grandmother, but I stopped her. I didn't want to cause any more trouble for my grandmother, and I didn't want my mother to have to face my aunt's displeasure. But I didn't expect that this would harm my mother. She was worried about my injury and got off the carriage when we were leaving the city..."
At that time, Jiang Yangui thought that the pill was just for pain relief and that he could just endure it.
When his wound worsened on the road, he didn't think about taking medicine. Mrs. Jiang's death had a huge impact on him. At that time, he was heartbroken and didn't care about his legs at all.
When he arrived in Xizhou, Jiang Yanyi asked a doctor to examine his injuries. The doctor said that the medicine he drank must be taken with painkillers. Only then did he realize the seriousness of the situation.
I chose to keep the matter of the painkillers a secret at the time, firstly because I couldn't bear to see Jiang Yanyi sad, and secondly because I was afraid that Jiang Yanyi would make a big deal out of it in an impulsive manner and tell my grandmother about it.
Old Madam Chu had lost her beloved daughter. After the bumpy journey of thousands of miles, her health was no longer as good as before. She had already lost her mother, and she was afraid that her grandmother would know this. She was so sad that she fell ill.
After listening to Jiang Yangui's words, Jiang Yanyi was silent for a long time.
On the day the Chu family arrived in Xizhou, she went to see the old lady. After Liu left, the old lady Chu complained to her a lot. The content was all about how Uncle Chu and Uncle Chu had been cold to Madam Jiang, and how they would make sarcastic remarks to Madam Jiang from time to time. The person the old lady scolded the most was Minister Jiang.
Jiang Yanyi had never met Madam Jiang. Based only on the original body's memory and the description in the original book, he only felt that Madam Jiang was a person who was confused but always tried to be strong-willed, and would ask her family to clean up the mess when something went wrong.
Because her impression of Madam Jiang was too polite and she had never personally interacted with her, when Jiang Yanyi learned that Madam Jiang and the first and second branches of the Chu family were not on good terms and had many conflicts, she looked at it with the mentality of a bystander and felt that both sides were wrong.
Now, listening to Jiang Yangui's red eyes talking about what happened in the capital, her heart inevitably became heavy.
Behind each of these events, there are intricate causes and effects.
It seems like everyone is doing something wrong, and everyone is a victim.
It was certainly the imperial guards who murdered Madam Jiang, and Minister Jiang was indeed a troublemaker, but weren't the sarcasm and ridicule from the two uncles of the Chu family constantly breaking down Madam Jiang's psychological defenses
Regardless of whether Liu knew the importance of the painkiller pill, Jiang Yangui's leg injury was indeed aggravated by it, and Madam Jiang lost her life because of it... Even if she did it unintentionally, the fault still existed.
Jiang Yanyi spoke with difficulty: "Yan Gui, I'm sorry."
Jiang Yangui raised his head, trying hard to hold back the tears in his eyes: "Sister, I want to move out of the Chu family as soon as possible."
Jiang Yanyi said: "Okay."
***
In the front hall of the Chu family, only Feng Shuo and Chi Qing enjoyed the meal comfortably.
After receiving Feng Shuo's instructions, Chi Qing took the pills and prescription to Jiang Yanyi first.
Feng Shuo knew nothing about the conflicts in the Chu family, but when he learned that Jiang Yanyi was so anxious to hire a doctor that day, he asked the doctor specifically after returning home. The doctor said that the prescription Jiang Yangui took was extremely strong and his injury would heal quickly, but he must take a painkiller to reduce inflammation and relieve pain, otherwise the wound would become inflamed and it would be dangerous.
Since the doctor who treated Jiang Yangui in the capital was able to prescribe this prescription, he would certainly not have forgotten to give him a pain-relieving pill to take.
Feng Shuo had spent more than a decade in the cannibalistic palace, and the first thing he thought of was that someone in the Chu family was against Jiang Yanyi and her brother, and deliberately tampered with the medicine. He came here in person today just to find out the bottom line of the Chu family.
Among the Chu family, only Chu Changping and Old Master Chu looked a little more natural. Uncle Chu and Second Uncle Chu were so timid that they didn't even dare to move their chopsticks.
Chu Changping was also quite surprised by Feng Shuo's sudden visit, but subconsciously felt that it might be related to Jiang Yanyi and his sister.
Old Master Chu toasted Feng Shuo: "Your Highness's visit truly brings honor to my humble abode!"
Feng Shuo drank the wine offered by Old Master Chu, and then said, "Master Chu, you are too kind. I heard that your cousin injured his leg. Is he feeling better now?"
Old Master Chu was flattered and said, "Thanks to your concern, Your Highness. Fortunately, your doctor has brought the child back to health. The child has looked much better these days."
The three brothers of the Chu family had different expressions. Jiang Yangui was just a half-grown child, and he might not be important enough for Feng Shuo to personally investigate. The reason behind this was worth pondering.
Feng Shuo took in the expressions of everyone at the table: "I did hear the doctor mention that the medicine your cousin used was very strong, but he didn't take the corresponding analgesic pills to relieve inflammation and pain."
As soon as these words came out, the four Chu family members all changed their expressions. Old Master Chu and Chu Changping were both shocked. Uncle Chu avoided looking at them, obviously feeling guilty. Second Uncle Chu was also surprised, but more of the matter was none of his business.
They are all people who have lived for decades, and they can see each other's thoughts clearly with just a glance.
Old Master Chu stammered, "Is this true..."
Feng Shuo had already said this, and it was not convenient for him to interfere in other people's family affairs. Judging from the attitudes of Old Master Chu and Chu Changping, it was not like they would let Jiang Yanyi and his sister get angry. He said: "Thank you for hosting the banquet today. I have something important to attend to, so I will take my leave first."
Old Master Chu looked at Chu Changping and said, "Sanlang, please see the prince off."
Chu Changping responded, stood up and escorted Feng Shuo out of the front hall.
Both of them are martial artists. Feng Shuo was wearing a dark red embroidered python robe with an ink-colored base today, which made him look more noble. Chu Changping had just returned from the army and was still in armor. He was much more muscular than Feng Shuo.
Feng Shuo walked in front, and as he walked down the stairs, heavy snow fell on his shoulders like goose feathers.
Chu Changping suddenly called him: "My Lord, what is the reason for your actions today?"
Feng Shuo stopped and turned his head slightly and said, "It's for one person."
There was a cedar tree next to him, but his figure was taller than the cedar.
Although he had guessed it before, Chu Changping was still shocked by his words and was speechless for a long time. After a long time, he said: "Ayi has lost her mother, I will just treat them as my own children. Ayi has a hard life, Chu only hopes that they can live a peaceful life. I will never forget the great kindness that Your Majesty has shown to the Chu family, and I am willing to repay Your Majesty with my best efforts. What kind of woman can't you find? I only ask you to let Ayi go!"
Feng Shuo's lips curled up slowly, looking cold and beautiful through the falling snow. He said, "If Madam Jiang hadn't passed away, I would have arranged marriage with her through matchmakers and six engagements. Once the mourning period for Madam Jiang is over, I will send a matchmaker to propose marriage."
Feng Shuo walked away step by step on the snow, but Chu Changping stood there in a daze.
When he transported the coffin back to the capital, the emperor wanted to punish the Chu family, and Feng Shuo secretly protected them. Chu Changping had already suspected Feng Shuo's motives, but at that time he thought that Feng Shuo wanted to use Jiang Yanyi as a bargaining chip to expose the emperor's cruelty.
But he never expected that Feng Shuo protected the Chu family because he had a crush on Jiang Yanyi!
He was talking about three matchmakers and six betrothals. With Jiang Yanyi's status, marrying him as his principal wife was really too low a standard.
Chu Changping felt quite complicated when he thought about how Feng Shuo had repeatedly entrusted him with important tasks in the army, allowing him to gain a firm foothold in Xizhou in a short period of time.
This is the wolf from the northern border that worries the man on the dragon throne so much that he can't sleep at night. Is it a blessing or a curse that Ayi has caught his eye
The sound of porcelain plates breaking in the room interrupted Chu Changping's thoughts. He turned back to the room and saw Old Master Chu chasing Uncle Chu with a cane in anger. The table was a mess and there were many broken bowls and plates on the floor.
"Rebellious son! You rebellious son! He's your own nephew! How could you be so cruel to him?" Old Master Chu's chest heaved violently.
There was a lot of vegetable soup on Mr. Chu's robe, and he looked very embarrassed. He said, "It was only on the day I left the city that I found out that Su Niang didn't buy painkillers for Yan Gui. I thought it was just a painkiller pill, and thought I would buy it somewhere else after leaving the capital, but I didn't know I couldn't buy it along the way!"
Old Master Chu said angrily, "Don't think that I am old and don't know what you two are up to! Your mother and I are still breathing! The Chu family's foundation, whether it is much or little, was saved by your mother and I when we were young. You two are always digging money into your own pockets, and your mother and I didn't say anything to you because the children are grown up. Ping'er came back with the child, and the money spent on food and clothing was not secretly spent by your first and second wives, right? What kind of face did you give her? You even deducted the money for buying medicine behind our backs!"
Uncle Chu couldn't help but said, "Dad! You and Mom have always been partial to me since I was a child! You only have my little sister in your eyes! Have you never thought about your sons? I am the eldest in the family. I have been ordered around by you since I was a child. I am not allowed to compete with my younger brothers and sisters for anything, and I have to give up the good things. I know that you and Mom have never liked me, but what about my second brother? My second brother's wife asked to leave the Chu family because of this disaster. You only know that the brother and sister of the Jiang family lost their mother at a young age, but do you know that Jiabao also lost his mother?"
Mr. Chu was angry because of what Mr. Chu said, but he said nothing. He just picked up the wine jug and took a sip of wine.
Ever since he divorced his wife, he has become a drunkard.
Mr. Chu was stumped by his eldest son's question. He looked at his eldest son, then at his decadent second son. On the one hand, he felt guilty towards his dead daughter, on the other hand, he felt sad that the family had become like this. He couldn't help but burst into tears.
Chu Changping entered the room and punched Uncle Chu directly, causing him to fall on his back. When he got up, the corner of his mouth was cut.
Chu Changping said: "Second sister-in-law is afraid of trouble and asked for a divorce. How can this be blamed on my younger sister? Even if my younger sister has nothing to do with it, as long as something happens to the Chu family in the future, she will still leave!"
"I only want to ask you one question today. Was it your idea or Liu's idea not to buy medicine for Yan Gui?"
His sister-in-law didn't even scream, which showed that she was very angry.
Uncle Chu was frightened by Chu Changping's punch and stammered, "She...she did it behind my back, and I only found out about it later..."
Chu Changping turned around and walked out.
Uncle Chu was horrified and asked, "Chu Changping, do you still want to beat up your sister-in-law?"
***
Following Feng Shuo's orders, Chi Qing gave the medicine to Jiang Yanyi and then wandered around the mansion.
The Chu family bought the house that was previously owned by the Hu family. The Chu family runs a flower shop business and has a collection of many precious flowers in their house. However, it is snowing heavily now, so all the flowers should have been moved into the greenhouse.
When a servant said he wanted to take him to the greenhouse, Chi Qing refused disrespectfully.
Liu hid in the dark and saw the servant leading Chi Qing to the flower room, then she was delighted.
She tricked Chu Shubao into going to the greenhouse early in the morning, and as soon as Chi Qing went there, he would meet Chu Shubao.
She thought to herself that her daughter was not bad looking, although not as pretty as Jiang Yanyi, but Jiang Yanyi had been sent to a military camp to be a prostitute. Once you enter that kind of place, no matter whether you are innocent or not, your reputation will be ruined.
As long as the other person is not a fool, he will know what to choose.
How could she know that as soon as she left the greenhouse, Chu Shubao left right after her and went back to the house to sleep.
Liu thought about the things Chi Qing had given to Jiang Yanyi before, and she was still worried, so she wanted to go to Jiang Yanyi to find out the truth.
***
There were not enough servants in the mansion, and Old Madam Chu wanted to assign a maid to serve Jiang Yanyi, but Jiang Yanyi was used to doing everything by herself, so she declined.
There was no one guarding her residence, so Liu easily sneaked in.
Jiang Yanyi's door was tightly closed, but there seemed to be voices coming from inside.
Liu moved closer to the wall and pricked up her ears to listen carefully.
"You came in again?"
"… The military camp is busy, how can you leave?"
"… Uncle knows about us? He doesn't agree?"
The man's voice was too low and Liu couldn't hear it clearly, but she was sure that there was definitely a man in the room.
Liu was horrified.
□□, an unmarried girl actually brought a man from another family into her boudoir!
Chi Qing was taken to the greenhouse by someone she assigned. The person in the greenhouse was definitely not Chi Qing! This wild man seemed to be from the military camp. From Jiang Yanyi's tone, it seemed that Chu Changping did not agree with them being together!
After some speculation, Liu thought that the wild man in the room should be a peasant in the military camp and his status was too low, which was why Chu Changping did not agree with him being with Jiang Yanyi.
She couldn't help but curse in her heart, Jiang Yanyi already has a mistress, why is he still staring at the future son-in-law she likes.
Liu's first reaction was to call someone to catch the adulterer, but she was afraid that the matter would become a big deal and ruin the reputation of her two daughters. Jiang Yanyi was not afraid, after all, she had no reputation to ruin.
Liu's eyes rolled and she tiptoed away from Jiang Yanyi's residence.
She called the housekeeper and told her that there was a thief in the house. She saw with her own eyes that the thief went to where Jiang Yanyi and his sister lived.
The housekeeper immediately gathered guards and surrounded the courtyard.
When Chu Changping walked into the backyard with a gloomy face, Liu saw his expression and thought that Chu Changping had already known that there was a peasant hiding in Jiang Yanyi's room. She fanned the flames and said, "Oh, third brother, you came at the right time. There's a thief in the house! I think he went into Ayi's room!"
The author has something to say: All this foreshadowing is for the reason that when the heroine and her brother leave the Chu family, their uncle and grandmother do not stop them. Only when they see that the heroine and her brother will still be hurt under their "protection", will they understand that letting the heroine and her brother leave is the best option.
The author will never say that the male protagonist is stupid again. The author is a stupid person. The author remembered the lottery draw time wrong, thinking it was yesterday, and posted the message too late, so many babies failed to subscribe and win the prize before the lottery draw. So he changed it to give 100 jj coins to the first 100 little angels who leave comments, and 20 coins to the little angels who leave comments later.
Result... There was a problem when setting up batch red envelopes (苍桑点烟.jpg)
Because of the crappy system, the author was not notified that he had successfully sent the red envelope, so he repeated the operation many times... which resulted in duplicate red envelopes.
Oh! Don't laugh at me! I'm happy to give red envelopes to the babies and have a happy Friday!
In addition, the lucky draw mentioned in the copy will be drawn tonight~
