"Ning'er, are you okay?"

After Shen Qianwei helped to help the wheelbarrow transporting food to a safe place, she rushed over immediately and saw Su Junning talking to a woman.

"I'm fine, but Ms. Qiao should be injured. She just saved someone and was hit on the shoulder." Su Junning said.

Don't talk about anything else at this time, if someone has done a good thing, what should be said should be said.

Only then did Shen Qianwei notice Qiao Chuyi, and she couldn't help frowning.

"How is Ms. Qiao's injury? There is a medical clinic nearby, why don't I send you to have a look?"

"It's okay, the general doesn't have to worry, it's just a minor injury."

Qiao Chuyi said in a low voice.

But when he bowed to salute and moved his shoulders, he gasped in pain.

The appearance of being delicate and pretending to be strong makes people feel distressed.

Su Junning's eyes darkened, and immediately stepped forward to support her.

"I think Ms. Qiao's body is weak. She must have been injured when she was hit. It's better to go to the medical clinic to have a look. It's not far ahead. Ms. Qiao must not refuse."

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but help the person to walk towards the medical center.

Qiao Chuyi wanted to say something else, but Shen Qianwei and Nan Xu were following closely behind, as if blocking her way back, so she had to give up.

After entering the hospital, because Qiao Chuyi's injury was on his shoulder, he had to take off his clothes to check the injury.

So Shen Qianwei waited in the outer hall, accompanied by Su Junning into the inner room to see the wound.

Not long after, Nan Xu led the doctor in.

After showing Qiao Chuyi the injury first, the doctor asked her to stretch out her hand to feel the pulse.

"Why do you need to take your pulse?" Qiao Chuyi frowned, hesitating.

The doctor said, "I see that the girl seems to be short of energy and blood. As a doctor, since the girl is here, she must take a look."

After he finished speaking, Su Junning immediately followed suit.

"Don't worry, Ms. Qiao. This doctor is also a famous doctor in Beijing. Ms. Qiao came to Beijing to seek medical treatment. It is not a bad thing to have one more person to see and one more way."

Having said this, Qiao Chuyi had no choice but to agree.

After the doctor took the pulse, he only said that he would prescribe a prescription for nourishing qi and blood for recuperation, and then he withdrew to prepare ointment for bruises.

Qiao Chuyi was arranging clothes and jewelry in the house, while Su Junning went out.

When he came back again, he stopped him in the house.

"Miss Qiao's body is so weak, is it really a weakness in the mother's womb as Mrs. Qiao said?"

"I have been weak since I was a child, so I don't know what Miss Su means by this."

Facing her question, Qiao Chuyi averted her gaze.

Su Junning narrowed her eyes, and was not in a hurry to ask questions, but continued like gossip.

"I've heard that in order to please wealthy businessmen and officials, some folks will buy some beautiful women and train them carefully, let them learn singing, dancing, silk bamboo, playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, strange skills and obscene skills, only for the future as gifts to others as concubines."

"This kind of women, in order to be cute, delicate and charming, so it is always better to be slender. However, girls born with this kind of body are in the minority after all, so there are methods such as dieting to suppress weight, so as to achieve the weak willow and the wind. effect."

"This type of woman is called a thin horse."

Speaking of this, Su Junning paused, raised her eyes, and looked at Qiao Chuyi sharply.

"Ms. Qiao said that the family loves Miss Qiao in every possible way and regards her as a bright pearl. She did not hesitate to come to Bianjing City for medical treatment. The disease is all caused by constant hunger."

"Could it be that the way the Qiao family loves their daughter is different from other families?"

As her words came out word by word, the little blood on Qiao Chuyi's face faded away bit by bit, she bit her lower lip tightly, her body trembling like a dead leaf in the autumn wind.

Two lines of clear tears slipped from the eye sockets, dripped down the pointed jaw, and hit the floor, making people feel pity.

Su Junning took a deep breath and relaxed a little.

"As women, you and I have never met each other. I don't want to have trouble with you, and I don't want to make things difficult for you. I can also see that you may not be willing to suffer such hardship. Your aunt is not a good person to get along with. Presumably you It's been a tough few years."

"Miss Su, please forgive me, if it's not helpless, I don't want to do this either!"

Qiao Chuyi's knees softened, and she knelt down with a plop.

Seeing this, Su Junning hurried to help her up, pulled her to sit beside her, and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

"If you have any difficulties, just tell me, I can help you, and I will definitely help you."

When Qiao Chuyi heard this, she was busy wiping away tears.

"My aunt originally wanted to sell me to Master Wang of Yanzhou to be a concubine, but Lord Wang heard from somewhere that our family was related to the Shen family in Beijing, so he encouraged my aunt to take me to Bianjing. If they want me to be the Shen family's concubine, if I don't agree, they won't treat my younger brother."

"What's wrong with your brother?" Su Junning frowned.

Qiao Chuyi smiled wryly, "He is actually the one who has a weak disease since he was born in the womb. My brother has suffered from wheezing since he was a child. If I don't obey, they will stop my brother's medicine. Once he gets sick, it will be life-threatening. .”

Wheeze, that is, asthma.

Su Junning's heart sank after hearing these words.

It was really hard for her to imagine how the siblings had lived all these years.

"Please, Ms. Su, help me. I really have no intentions of General Shen, and neither do I. so-so."

Qiao Chuyi's voice trembled, and she was about to kneel down again immediately.

Su Junning hurriedly held her back, and after thinking for a while, she said in a deep voice.

"If you trust me, just listen to my arrangements for the next few days. Your shoulder is injured and you still need to rest. I will naturally find a way to make you stable for a few days."

"Great kindness can never be repaid. If Miss Su can really save me from the sea of ​​suffering, I will be a slave and a handmaiden to serve Miss!" Qiao Chuyi's eyes were filled with gratitude.

Su Junning patted her hand with calm eyes.

"You don't have to be like this. Speaking of it, I also have selfish intentions. I'm about to marry into the Shen family, and I don't want my husband to have a concubine. Now that you and I can reach an agreement, it's also beneficial to both of us."

Hearing this, Qiao Chuyi nodded hurriedly, and repeatedly assured that she would never get any tainted by Shen Qianwei.

After dealing with the injury, Qiao Chuyi went back to Shen's residence by herself, while Su Junning and Shen Qianwei went to buy jewelry as planned.

Of course, it was necessary to discuss some other things during the period.

After all, for this plan to be successfully implemented, Shen Qianwei had to cooperate and help.

That night, after returning home, Su Junning did not rush back to the Cangyu Pavilion, but went to her father's study first.

When they came, Su Yuzheng and Su Yuan were inside.

"Father, eldest brother, third brother." Su Junning bowed.

Su Yi nodded, "Sit down, what's the matter?"

"It's not a big deal. I want to inquire about someone with my father. Yanzhou Tongjuan Lord Wang." Su Junning said.

Hearing him ask about North Korea-China affairs, Su Yi felt a little strange.

But he still replied, "I am not very familiar with this person, what do you ask him for?"

"I got some news that there are many concubines in Mr. Wang's mansion, and most of them are gifts from rich local merchants, or there are collusion between officials and businessmen, and they are suspected of offering bribes." Su Junning said.

My father, as the censor of the Inspectorate, is doing the work of supervising officials. If he is not asked to investigate this matter, who else can he invite?
