The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 304
After Cui Hengyue returned to the residence, she returned to Jinglan Garden swaggeringly without any treatment for her injuries.

When the servants saw it, they all went to report to their masters. Soon, the masters of each house in the Jingguo Mansion knew about Cui Hengyue's injury.

Mrs. Cui was the first to rush to Jinglanyuan. After she learned from the coachman that Cui Hengyue was injured, she put down her work and rushed to Jinglanyuan.

"What's going on? Why did you get hurt?"

Seeing that the government doctor was instructing Mrs. Wen to treat the wound, Mrs. Cui asked Shui Fu and Shui Rong.

Shui Fu and Shui Rong turned pale, but did not answer the question.

Cui Hengyue rescued them in time: "Auntie, I'm fine, I just accidentally got injured during a martial arts competition. These are all skin wounds, so it's fine."

She said it easily, but the several blood-stained handkerchiefs on the tray showed that this was not the case. Madam Cui immediately lowered her face and reprimanded Shui Fu and Shui Rong:
"Yuanniang is young and impulsive. As her personal maids, you don't know how to dissuade them. What should you do?"

Under Mrs. Cui's power, Shui Fu and Shui Rong knelt down "Putong": "I will be convicted, please punish Mrs. Cui."

Mrs. Cui opened her mouth, and was about to punish them, when Cui Hengyue waved Mrs. Wen's hand away and ordered, "You all go down."

Lady Wen put down the medicine bottle and silently exited the room.

The government doctor and others also left the room.

Cui Hengyue then walked up to Mrs. Cui and said to her: "Auntie, don't blame them for this matter, if you want to punish, punish me.

"However, I don't think I did anything wrong. If someone provokes me, I will naturally have to take revenge. This will not disgrace Cui's reputation, right?"

Mrs. Cui was silent for a moment: "After all, it's your cousin. It's a joke to make a move outside the Zhen Guogong's mansion."

It seems that the eldest aunt still doesn't know about her fight with the prince of Zhen Guogong.

Cui Hengyue raised her chin, her face full of anger: "What cousin? He's clearly here to find fault.

"Hmph, I don't care if he is a descendant of the Wang family or the Li family. I will beat whoever finds fault."

Mrs. Cui: "."

"Yuan Niang did the right thing."

Nanny You suddenly appeared at the door and walked in: "Cui's people are not easy to bully, anyone who finds fault will be beaten."

First, he affirmed Cui Hengyue's approach, and then saluted: "Madam, Yuan Niang."

Mrs. Cui nodded at her: "Nurse is here, but what is the old lady's order?"

You Nanny replied: "The old lady heard that Yuanniang was injured, so she ordered me to come and have a look."

Seeing the gauze wrapped around Cui Hengyue's body, and seeing the blood-stained handkerchief in the tray, Nanny You was startled, and hurried to Cui Hengyue's side, with a worried expression and a hint of distress.

"Hey, why did you get hurt so badly? If the old lady knew it, she would be sad."

Cui Hengyue naturally didn't believe such words, but she didn't show it on the surface, but said: "Don't worry, mother, these are all skin injuries, and it will be fine after a few days of recuperation, then Wang Silang's injuries are much more serious than mine."

Upon hearing this, Momo You flashed a gleam of joy in her eyes, but she said: "Be careful next time, the little lady can't be hurt, otherwise there will be scars on her body, how can she marry in the future?"

Cui Hengyue lowered her eyes and obediently agreed: "Yes."

Next, You Nanny asked about the town government's mansion: "By the way, you are a guest at the town country mansion today, how does the town country mansion treat you?"

Cui Hengyue raised her head and said with a slight smile: "Very good, Wu Wuniang treats me very well, and Mrs. Zhen Guogong also treats me very well."

"Where's Duke Zhen? Didn't you see him?" Nanny You continued to ask.

Duke Zhen seldom goes to court, and it is said that he recuperates in the mansion. Since she saw Mrs. Duke Zhen, she should also see Duke Zhen, right?Nanny You thought to herself.

Cui Hengyue shook her head: "I didn't see it."

Nanny You didn't give up, and asked again: "Then have you seen anyone else?"

"No."

"Then what did Mrs. Zhen Guo tell you?"

"Just ask me what I usually do, and let me have more time to go to the Zhen Guogong's mansion."

Seeing that she couldn't find anything to ask, Nanny You said a few words of concern and left Jinglan Garden.

Cui Hengyue looked at Mrs. Cui who was silent beside her: "Auntie, do you know who is the imperial physician in the palace for three years in Taiping?"

"Why do you ask this suddenly?" Mrs. Cui was very surprised.

Cui Hengyue replied calmly: "I heard that he was promoted by His Majesty as an imperial physician, I am very curious."

That's it.

Mrs. Cui thought that Cui Hengyue had just returned to Jinyang and was very interested in everything in Jinyang, so she answered her question: "In the third year of Taiping, Zhen Jishi, who came from the Xinglin family, served as the imperial physician in the palace. It turned out to be the imperial physician in the palace."

Just like what Wu Yu said, it seems that Wu Yu didn't lie to her.

"Then how many sons does he have?" Cui Hengyue asked along the way.

Mrs. Cui thought for a while: "Well, he seems to have three sons."

three?

Could it be that Zhen Jiu is not Zhen Jishi's son?

wrong--

"The sons of Imperial Physician Zhen are ranked according to their families, right?"

"Yes, it's the same for big families."

Cui Hengyue's eyes lit up: "Then, does the eldest aunt know the ranking of Imperial Doctor Zhen's three sons?"

Mrs. Cui finally felt that something was wrong, she looked at Cui Hengyue suspiciously: "What are you asking about the son of Imperial Doctor Zhen?"

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in her mind, and her face changed instantly: "Back then, Imperial Physician Zhen was incompetent and failed to save the late emperor, so he was sentenced to be executed.

"But there were still fish that slipped through the net back then. You must have met someone from the Zhen family, right? Is this man... the son of Zhen Jishi?"

Cui Hengyue shook her head quickly: "No, I just asked casually."

But in his heart, he felt more and more that Zhen Jiu was Zhen Jishi's son, and also the fish that slipped through the net back then.

Fearing that Mrs. Cui would drag her and ask her non-stop, Cui Hengyue pretended to have a wound and cried out: "Ah, my hand hurts so much!"

Mrs. Cui was really fooled, and quickly ordered someone to check whether the medicine was ready.

Mrs. Cui didn't leave until the servant girl brought the medicine and watched Cui Hengyue lie down after taking the medicine.

As soon as she left, Cui Quan sent Bai Qi to deliver things.

"Yuanniang, this is the medicine for wounds in the palace. It is the most effective in curing sword wounds. The Duke of the country ordered me to bring it. I hope your wound will heal soon."

After Bai Qi put down the wound medicine, he left.

At this moment, only Cui Hengyue and Mrs. Wen were in the room.

Cui Hengyue picked up the medicine bottle and looked at it carefully: "Do you know why the Duke gave me the medicine?"

"Why?" Mrs. Wen looked at the medicine bottle, but didn't quite understand.

"He's rewarding me for beating up the Wang family."

Hearing this, Mrs. Wen suddenly realized: "The Cui family and the Wang family have always been at odds. If you beat Wang Silang, he will indeed be happy."

"No, that's not what I'm going to say." Cui Hengyue put down the medicine bottle and waved to Mrs. Wen.

Lady Wen stepped forward and stood beside her.

Cui Hengyue lowered her voice, and said slowly: "I just returned home, and he knew what I was doing outside, which means he sent someone to monitor me."

Mrs. Wen thought for a while: "Is it the driver who went out with you today?"

"He belongs to Da Furen, not him, nor Shui Fu and Shui Rong." Cui Hengyue was persuasive, waiting for Mrs. Wen to find out the problem.

Lady Wen finally came to her senses: "You mean, the person he sent is in the dark, and he is a master?"

"Yes, there may be more than one such person."

Lady Wen's expression froze, and she made a solemn promise to Cui Hengyue: "Don't worry, I will be more cautious in my actions in the future, and I will not act rashly."

Cui Hengyue showed a satisfied expression, and said to her: "Shui Fu and Shui Rong are not reliable, please help me find out the news from now on.

"The first thing you need to do is to inquire about the people in the residence of Wang Dingkun, the governor of Yunzhou."
