The wife of the power minister's family

Chapter 167 Someone in this family wants to harm her (second update)
Xu Jing, who had expected it, was not surprised, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Zhao, there is no need to be polite to me, just tell me if you have anything."

After finally hugging Zhao Shaohua's thigh, Xu Jing wished that Zhao Shaohua owed her more favors. After all, she wanted to develop in Xijing in the future. It was conceivable that there were many things that would trouble Zhao Shaohua. Let her owe her more favors. She is beneficial and harmless.

Zhao Shaohua coughed slightly and said, "That's it. Didn't I help you ask someone from the Jiang family about Guangmingtang yesterday? Jiang Erlang is from the Jiang family. I was talking to my husband yesterday outside the Wang family's village. When we arrived at Jiang Erlang, who had not yet left, I thought it would be a waste if I didn’t ask, so I asked him directly.”

Xu Jing raised her eyebrows slightly.

Jiang Erlang is from the Jiang family, Xu Jing had already guessed it.

At that time, she was waiting for her on Zhao Shaohua's carriage, but she didn't expect that she would ask for her at that time.

No wonder she could answer her so quickly.

"Jian Erlang asked me why I was asking about the relationship between the Jiang family and Guangmingtang, so I told him about your friend's family and told him directly that this was what you asked me to ask. Unexpectedly, he seemed to be very interested and asked. Told me a lot about you."

Xu Jing was slightly stunned, then heard Zhao Shaohua continue: "I thought he became a little curious about you after what happened in Zhuangzi, so he boasted about your medical skills. Unexpectedly, after listening, he actually said, I want to Please go and help his sister see a doctor."

This development was a turn of events. Xu Jing couldn't help but laugh and said: "So that's it. Seeing a doctor is just a trivial matter to me. Looking at Mrs. Zhao's appearance just now, I thought it was a big deal."

"Well, after all, this is something I caused without your consent. However, I didn't respond to him immediately. I only said that I would ask you first. What I wanted at that time was to wait for him to ask about Guangmingtang. , let’s talk to you again.”

If it was really the Jiang family who instigated Guangmingtang to suppress Tianyi Hall, how could she have the nerve to ask Xu Jing to treat people from the Jiang family?

Fortunately, the result was satisfactory.

Xu Jing nodded and said, "I have no problem. I can go see Jiang Erlang's sister at any time."

Zhao Shaohua's eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "That's good. Jiang Erlang said that his sister is just suffering from an ordinary cold. Logically speaking, if she takes medicine on time, she will be cured in two or three days. However, his sister took a few days. After taking the medicine, the condition did not improve at all, but actually got worse. That's why Jiang Erlang wanted to ask you to come over and take a look.

His sister got married three years ago, to the prince of Huaiyinhou. Huaiyinhou's mansion is not far from my home. If you are free tomorrow, you can come to Zhao's house to find me in the morning and I will take you there. "

When Emperor Taizu was still alive, in order to prevent the four families of Xiao, Zhao, Wang, and Jiang from becoming too powerful, he issued an unwritten ban prohibiting the four families from intermarrying with each other.

Therefore, after the founding of the Chu State, there was no longer any marriage between these four families. However, they were all four major families and they still interacted with each other.

Xu Jing smiled and said, "I'm free tomorrow morning. I'll come over after breakfast."

While talking, I was thinking in my mind, after taking the medicine for a few days, the cold was not only not cured, but also worsened?Could it be that the doctor's diagnosis was in the wrong direction?Or is she actually suffering from something other than cold?

Xu Jing was thinking when Zhao Shaohua suddenly said: "Jiang Erlang also said that he hopes that when I take you to see his sister, he can talk to his sister more. His sister is not in a good mood recently. Although his sister has a good temper. She is considered gentle and kind, but I don't know her very well. We have only met her a few times at various banquets. Fortunately, I was not alone, otherwise I wouldn't know what to say."

Bad Mood?A person's mood will affect his body, just like Zhao Shaohua.

Her illness has been getting worse for a long time, which may also be related to her mood.

Xu Jing asked: "Why is Sister Jiang Erlang in a bad mood?"

Hearing this, Zhao Shaohua suddenly approached Xu Jing and said, "Jiang Erlang said that his sister's room was recently robbed, and many of her hairpins were missing. He said that his sister was in a bad mood because of this, but I see this Just one of those things.

Half a year ago, a charming guest suddenly came to Huaiyinhou Mansion. He was said to be a cousin of the old lady Huaiyinhou’s mother’s family. Her parents died in an accident a year ago, so she came to Xijing to seek refuge with Huaiyinhou Mansion. Old lady Huaiyinhou was a letter The Buddha was always merciful. Seeing that she was a little girl alone, he took her in.It is said that the lady's surname is Hua, she is very beautiful, and because of her life experience, she is particularly pitiful.When she arrived at the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion, she was already in her late teens, but the old lady still didn't say goodbye to her.

And Jiang Erlang's sister has been married to the Marquis of Huaiyin for three years and has nothing to do so far. It is said that she has taken a lot of medicine to recuperate her body. If she hadn't been from the Zhao family, Mrs. Huaiyin might have been unable to calm down. He gave his son a concubine. "

As the saying goes, good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles. These scandals always spread faster than the wind passing through Xijing.

There was a young and beautiful woman who was eyeing her husband covetously. It was no wonder that Jiang Erlang's sister was in a bad mood.

Xu Jing thought for a while and asked, "The person who stole her hairpin was their servant?"

Zhao Shaohua spread his hands and said: "I don't know, and Jiang Erlang didn't elaborate, but besides the servants of the Jiang family, who else can enter the master of the Jiang family's room without anyone noticing? Let's go there tomorrow. Just know it."

The next day, Xu Jing arrived at the Zhao family on time and went to the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion with Zhao Shaohua.

As Zhao Shaohua said, the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion is not far from the Zhao family and can be reached in less than a quarter of an hour by carriage.

Zhao Shaohua handed over his name tag and was immediately greeted respectfully. After they waited in the hall in the front yard for a while, a maid who looked very capable came over, smiled and saluted: "My servant has met Mrs. Zhao and Dr. Xu. The two of you call your servant Jingdan. Our young lady sent your servant to bring Mrs. Zhao and Doctor Xu in."

Xu Jing looked at Jingdan thoughtfully. The maid's face was rosy, but there was obvious fatigue in her eyebrows. Is it because she took care of their wife?
Jingdan took them all the way to the backyard. When they reached the entrance of a yard, they suddenly saw a pure and beautiful woman wearing an orange-yellow chest-length skirt, like a pure and flawless jade after the rain. Carrying a tray, he walked over slowly accompanied by two maids.

Jingdan paused, and Xu Jing saw from the corner of her eye that her face was like a sudden change in the sky, suddenly sinking to the extreme. She looked at the woman with obvious hostility in her eyes and said: "Ms. Hua, why are you here?" ?”

The woman seemed to be startled when she heard her voice. Her eyes widened and she said timidly: "I...I just went to pay my respects to the old lady. The old lady was worried about Sister Xia's health and asked me to give her a greeting." Sister Xia brought a bowl of tonic soup..."

"presumptuous!"

Before she finished speaking, Jingdan said sternly: "How dare you call our young lady by her name!"

Madam Hua was shaken by the drink, like a frightened kitten, her big eyes quickly turned a liquid color, and she stammered: "Yes... it's my fault, but this bowl of tonic soup is... The old lady asked me to give it to Young Madam Xia..."

The two maids beside her were obviously from the old lady's side. Seeing Madam Hua's appearance, they immediately frowned and looked at Madam Hua with pity. There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Jingdan's eyes. .

Even Zhao Shaohua couldn't help but frown.

But Jingdan still looked at her coldly and said: "Give the slave the soup, and I will carry it in for the young lady."

Lady Hua quickly held back her tears and gave the tray to Jingdan, then turned around and left in a hurry.

That look made me feel pity for him.

Jingdan saw Madam Hua walking away, and the stern look on her face slowly faded away. She bit her lip and looked at Zhao Shaohua and Xu Jing, saying: "Young Madam Zhao and Dr. Xu are laughing at me, but our Young Madam has been a little bit troubled recently. She had random thoughts and always said that she felt that someone in this family wanted to harm her. However, the servant asked the young lady why she thought so, but the young lady could not explain the reason. In the past few days, the young lady has been having nightmares...

The young lady's mood is not stable right now, and I can't let her see Lady Hua. On weekdays, our young lady is also very friendly to Lady Hua. "

As if afraid that Zhao Shaohua and Xu Jing would misunderstand something, Jingdan couldn't help but accentuate the tone of the last sentence.
