I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 98
Nanny Yu took a look at Qu Fengyan, shook her head anxiously and said, "No, the guard Chen Si who guards the gate has just sent news that Missy... Missy has returned home!"

"What, you said that little bitch Qu Lingxu is back?" Qu Fengyan and Xu looked at each other, and they both saw disbelief in each other's eyes, but it was only for a short moment, and then sneered : "Although I don't know how that little slut got the news of Mrs. Chen's death, she was ordered by the emperor to go to Jiangling, but returned to Beijing without authorization. This is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor."

After being told by Qu Fengyan, Xu also came back to his senses, and sneered: "A few days ago, His Royal Highness Mausoleum sent news that he let that cheap girl escape. I have never been at peace in my heart. She came back quietly by herself." Saying so, Xu raised her head and glanced at Madam Yu, "Immediately send someone to inform the imperial concubine and His Highness Mausoleum of the news."

"Yes." Nanny Yu nodded, still worried: "Master, Mrs. Chen is Qu Lingxu's mother after all. If she wants to visit Mrs. Chen in the cold storage, we have no reason to stop her."

"What do you stop? She can go as soon as she wants. Are you still worried that Mrs. Chen will come back to life and tell her the truth of that day?" Mrs. Xu said disapprovingly.

Although she is not proficient in medical skills, she is the daughter of Miracle Doctor Xu, so she naturally understands the principle of not leaving any openings, so that day at the bottom of the water, it was not Chen's legs and feet that were pulled by the servant, but her clothes, so even Even if someone does an autopsy, they won't find anything wrong.

Xu's explanation made Mama Yu's frown relax a little bit. She nodded and was about to send someone to deliver the letter according to Xu's order, but there was a knock on the door. After getting permission, A little servant girl came in and said respectfully: "Master, Second Miss, Eldest Miss is here."

"What is she here for?" Although Xu thought she was not afraid of Qu Lingxu, it has been proved that the word guilty conscience is absolutely true. When she heard that the other party came to see her, she immediately changed her face and said coldly: "Tell her that Mrs. Take a break and let her come back another day!"

Although the servant who made the announcement has not yet come out, Qu Lingxu is the daughter of the prostitute, the most honorable woman in the entire General's Mansion, how dare the servants of Jinxiu Pavilion stop her? Coincidentally, just as she walked to the door, Hearing Xu's words, he said with a smile that was not a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, Second Auntie is very imposing. If it wasn't for Daddy who was still on the battlefield ahead, Xu'er would have thought that you had been made a regular wife or even a first wife. Woolen cloth."

Due to the reason of keeping the mourning secret, the general's mansion has not rushed to make mourning uniforms, so Qu Lingxu specially found a set of silver-white brocade robes embroidered with dark patterns to change into, and only wore a simple silver hairpin on his head. There was no other makeup on, and she didn't get angry, and she didn't even move her eyebrows, but Qu Fengyan couldn't help but tremble a little with the fierce and self-imposing aura all over her body.

Mrs. Xu glanced at Qu Lingxu. She didn't understand how she was a delicate woman who didn't know any martial arts, why she had such a fierce murderous aura on her body, but her thoughts were much deeper than Qu Fengyan's. The moment he flew around, he lifted the quilt and got out of bed to salute, and said in his mouth: "Miss misunderstood, the concubine just heard the news of your return home, I don't know how happy I am, but..." Xu is worthy of A good actor', after a short while, a few lines of hot tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and he choked up and said, "If it wasn't for saving this concubine, how could my wife drown and die in such a good way? Every time I think of this, my heart aches like hell." Knife twisted, how can I have the face to meet the eldest lady..." After finishing speaking, he sobbed and began to cry.

Qu Lingxu has always been rational, she thought she would be able to control her emotions, but when she saw Xu's mother's vicious face, there were still veins popping out of her arms that were tucked into her sleeves, and she wished she could kill them immediately. Jinxiu Pavilion was razed to the ground.

After a long time, when Xu's hypocritical performance could no longer continue, Qu Lingxu slowly walked to the chair and sat down, and said with a sneer: "This is just an accident, mother is so willing to risk her life to save the second aunt. It can be seen that my aunt is very important in my mother's heart. When I want to come back at midnight, I must often come to chat with my aunt to reminisce about the past. If I see you suffering so much, how can my mother feel at ease under the nine springs."

Most of the ancient people believed in ghosts and gods. Qu Lingxu's seemingly concerned words made Xu's petite body tremble, and Qu Fengyan, who was standing by the bed, couldn't help but change his face, and said coldly: "Sister , Auntie has fallen into a coma for the past few days, and after waking up, she cried because of her mother's death, and her mind was restless, how can you disturb her with ghosts and gods?"

"Sister's words really wronged my sister." Qu Lingxu's gaze, which seemed to be a smile but not a smile, slashed across Qu Fengyan's delicate and charming face like a blade, and then wept sadly: "Sister is away from home. I have never seen my mother for the last time. How I wish my mother's soul could appear in front of me at this time. Even if it is only a short moment, it is enough to comfort the pain of lovesickness. The mood at this moment is naturally the same as that of my sister and me, so why bother me?"

Although Yun Yi was told by Qu Lingxu not to show any anger, but these days, she has accumulated too much hatred in her heart, how could she bear it, she just snorted coldly: "As the saying goes, don't do anything wrong , not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, the second lady is so worried, but have you done something outrageous, are you afraid that ghosts will come to claim your life?"

As soon as this remark came out, Qu Fengyan's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he said sharply: "Presumptuous! You are implying that this lady killed her mother with your words? It is really unfair to put this lady in a place of infidelity and injustice. She is extremely despicable!" She seemed to be extremely angry, her face flushed red, she took a few breaths before angrily looking at Qu Lingxu: "Sister, although my sister is a concubine, she is also a legitimate member of the General's Mansion Second Miss, now that a little servant girl dares to offend me and slander me, shouldn't my sister give my younger sister an explanation?"

"Yunyi is just making an analogy, why is my sister so angry?" Qu Lingxu turned the white jade bracelet on her wrist, and said unhurriedly: "It's not difficult for sister to deal with Yunyi, but in this way, It is inevitable that people will feel that Yunyi's words just hit my sister's heart, which made my sister so angry, and if it spread, it would be a shame, Second Aunt, what do you think?"

Xu was very angry in her heart, but when Qu Lingxu said this, she had to swallow her breath, so she forced a smile, and said lightly: "What the eldest lady said is true, but ghosts and gods can't say it." It’s nothing more than strange power and chaos, if you can really rely on ghosts to seek revenge, what else do you need the government to do, it can be seen that it is a rumor.”

"Mother..."

Qu Fengyan was still not angry, but was fixed on the spot by Xu's cold eyes, and continued: "Miss is really good at seeing and seeing, the emperor has repeatedly ordered not to spread the news of Madam's death, you still returned to Beijing so soon, it is disrespectful to resist the order , but the crime of beheading.”

"Thank you, Second Aunt, for reminding me." Qu Lingxu stared fixedly at Xu, and suddenly smiled slowly, "But Auntie seems to have misunderstood, and no one told me about her mother's death. The reason for returning to Beijing early is because Leng Shizi was not injured, as for who committed the crime of deceiving the emperor by lying about military information, the emperor will investigate strictly, so there is no need for my aunt to worry about it."

Xu Shi knew exactly who set up this serial scheme, but she never expected that the matter would be revealed so quickly, it seemed that she had to tell Murong Li the news as soon as possible, so that the other party could make plans early.

Seeing Xu's silence, Qu Lingxu frowned slightly, knowingly asked: "Why is Second Auntie's face so ugly, don't you know who is behind this scene?"

Qu Lingxu's words made Xu wake up suddenly, and quickly apologized with a smile: "Miss, you are joking, I am a woman in a deep house, how can I know what is going on in the court?" In order not to let Qu Lingxu stand in the way, She simply changed the subject, "Madam has passed away, please let the young lady express my condolences, please take care of yourself."

"Yes, my sister is in a hurry, so I should go see my mother for the last time, so as not to be charged with unfilial piety." Qu Fengyan took the opportunity to sarcastically.

"Don't worry, sister, I will definitely find out the cause of my mother's death, so that my mother can rest in peace." After finishing speaking, she got up and left.

After leaving the Jinxiu Pavilion, Qu Lingxu whispered to the front: "Ling Xiao, Ling Yun, you two should keep an eye on the Jinxiu Pavilion tonight. If anyone goes out, immediately arrest them and bring them to the Jianjia Courtyard."

"Yes, Master!"

After Ling Xiao Lingyun agreed, Yun Yi quickly glanced around to make sure there was no one else, and then whispered: "Master, why do you need to speak so clearly? In this way, the mother and daughter of the Xu family will definitely take precautions. It’s even harder to find evidence.”

"It's better to be still than to move. Only by letting Mrs. Xu know my determination to investigate the cause of mother's death, will she carefully consider where the flaws might have been left, and then find a way to make up for the flaws, so that more flaws will be revealed."

"So you conclude that she will report to Concubine Xu?"

"Concubine Xu Gui is in the palace, how can she send the letter at this time, so Mrs. Xu will definitely inform King Mausoleum of the news of my lady's return to Beijing, so Ling Xiao Lingyun intercepted the letter, and Murong Li will be in front of the emperor tomorrow. Don't try to get out of this thing."

In this capital city, Murong Li's enemy is far more than her alone. The queen, Murong Jing, Li Zhaoyi, everyone wants to step on him, although with Murong Li's cautious temperament, she will never lie about the military situation Leaving any clues in one incident, but in front of the suspicious emperor, there is no need to have real evidence for many things, as long as there is a little suspicion from time to time, it is enough.
