Rebirth of the Three Kingdoms: Da Qiao doesn't want to be a widow anymore

Chapter 285 Mrs. Gu

When the maid heard this, she was shocked. Madam Qiao had never seen her, and she had never revealed who her master was. How did Madam Qiao know that she was serving Mrs. Gu?

She knew that under the current circumstances, she probably couldn't get Doctor Zhang, and she secretly regretted that she should have been more decisive and taken Doctor Zhang away.

"lady……"

Of course Qiao Wei would not answer her, nor did he want to tangle with a maid any more. "Go back. If you continue talking, I will suspect that you and your master have ulterior motives for the child in Mrs. Qiao's belly."

After hearing this, the maid didn't dare to explain any further or stay any longer, and quickly stood up, bowed and left.

Sun An had the same doubts, "How does sister-in-law know that it must be Mrs. Gu's people and not sister-in-law Gu?"

Qiao Wei asked Sun An, "What do you think?"

"Doctor Zhang has examined Sister Gu's pulse and told her about her pulse condition, so Sister Gu doesn't need to ask. If you are concerned about Sister Qiao's pulse condition, you can ask openly. This is the responsibility of the mistress."

Qiao Wei's eyes were filled with relief, "You are right."

"This maidservant was sneaky and insisted on asking Doctor Zhang to leave. Her actions were not upright at all, and she didn't look like the actions of the sister-in-law of the Gu family." Sun An felt that although the sister-in-law of the Gu family's words were a bit harsh, she was direct. On the other hand, Mrs. Gu always spoke and acted in a roundabout way, making people guess. "So only Mrs. Gu is left."

"If your second brother saw your progress now, he would be happy." Qiao Wei said with a smile.

Sun An's eyes were full of joy. "My brother said that I was appointed a centurion, but I can only serve under him for the time being. However, I can keep the title of Jin'an soldier."

"Have you really thought it through?" Qiao Wei was also surprised at her persistence, but she was more happy.

Sun An nodded, "Since I am from a family of military commanders, how can I be afraid of fighting and act like a little girl? Although I have the protection of my brother, I have also experienced life and death in Baishi Mountain. I am just a centurion, so I can still bear the responsibility!"

"Of course I can bear it!" Qiao Wei was happy to see that she had gotten rid of the dejection after leaving Baishishan and was now so lively again.

Lian Qi was very puzzled, "Young lady, what if General Zhao doesn't like the way you wield swords and guns?"

Zhao Fei, who was temporarily staying in Lu's mansion waiting to get married, looked weak and timid. If she wasn't quite forthright in her words and deeds, she could have been on par with Xie Chunfu.

Zhao Fei also said that his brother and his first wife, Mrs. Hua, were very affectionate, and Mrs. Hua was a gentle and humble person.

"I don't care what he likes!" The daughter of the Sun family has her own pride. "Anyway, I can't pretend to be a virtuous woman, and he can't divorce me just because he doesn't like me. I don't rely on a man's likes or dislikes!
It's really strange to say that the sister-in-law of the Gu family has a hot temper, but the young wife of the Gu family is not straightforward. Are they sisters from the same family?"

"Those who are not favored naturally have to have some tricks." Before the sister-in-law and the aunt had said a few words, they saw Gu Lingyun coming out from the corner, "Mrs. Qiao, have you finished talking to Miss Qiao? Are you going back to the old lady to pick up the young master?"

"Yes. I heard from Rong'er that I have been taking good care of her recently. As her elder sister, I want to thank you."

Gu Lingyun continued, "We are all here to serve the master, so we should take care of each other. If you don't mind, you can teach me like a younger sister."

Qiao Wei was not interested in having another sister outside, let alone someone who had ill will towards her own sister. "I am from a famous family like the Gu family. I am afraid that it would not be a good match for a small family like the Qiao family to pretend to be big in front of you."

"Madam, you are joking. Everyone knows your status and position now. It would be too high for me to call you sister."

Qiao Wei did not respond, "I came here specially to exchange a few words with me today. I believe you have something to say to me. In fact, you can just say it directly."

Gu Lingyun looked at Doctor Zhang behind Qiao Wei, "It's not a big deal. Madam's condition hasn't improved no matter how many medicines she's taken. Doctor Zhang, a master doctor, came to diagnose her today, but what was wrong with the previous doctor's diagnosis? Is there anything else we need to pay attention to?"

Doctor Zhang bowed and answered, "Madam's pulse and symptoms have some things to pay attention to. I have explained them to you very clearly. As for how the previous doctor diagnosed your pulse, I don't know. Madam's symptoms are not uncommon, and there are many famous doctors in Shu County. I don't think there will be any misdiagnosis. You can rest assured."

Gu Lingyun breathed a sigh of relief and explained to Qiao Wei, "Don't misunderstand, Madam Qiao. My sister is very strong-willed and doesn't want to trouble others. I was afraid that she would be reluctant to see a doctor and delay her treatment. That's why I had to ask you a question."

"As it should be, sisters in the same family always share the same honor and disgrace and support each other."

Gu Lingyun carefully looked at Qiao Wei's face and felt that she didn't have any suspicions, so she flattered with a smile, "Yes, Madam and Mrs. Qiao also support each other in this way."

"Although the Qiao family is not well-off, Xiao Qiao was also raised in pampered condition at home. Since I am a little older than her, please take care of her a little more."

Although Gu Lingyun's intentions were not pure, Qiao Yong was pregnant now, and one more friend was better than one more enemy. No matter what Dr. Zhang diagnosed, Qiao Wei's attitude had already shown that she was not going to meddle in other people's affairs. If Gu Lingyun was smart, she would know Qiao Wei's intentions and conditions.

"Madam, you are embarrassing me. As long as the younger sister of the Qiao family doesn't mind me being nosy, I would be happy to be close to her." Gu Lingyun immediately changed her words.

Qiao Wei and Gu Lingyun said goodbye and returned to Old Madam Xun's courtyard.

Sun Deng was sitting in Madam Xun's arms, eating a piece of maltose, dozing off as he ate with blurry eyes.

Madam Xun carried Sun Deng back to Qiao Wei's arms, "Have you finished talking to Xiao Qiao? The child is sleepy, take him back and sleep with him!"

As soon as Sun Deng smelled the familiar scent on Qiao Wei, he closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully, without even noticing that the maltose had fallen.

"Thank you, old lady." Qiao Wei saw a set of scriptures on the desk of old lady Xun, and thought to himself, "A Taoist priest gave me a scripture before, called "Explanation of the Essentials of Taoism". I flipped through it in my spare time, but I only have a vague understanding of the mysteries of Taoism, and I was confused. If old lady doesn't mind, I will take this scripture and give it to you next time, okay?"
