Medical concubine in power

Chapter 97

"Housekeeper, I don't know if you have time. Let me discuss something with you."

She glanced at the crowd, and involuntarily pulled the butler, who was a member of the referee, aside, with a mysterious look on his face, the butler was confused, pulled his sleeve out of her hand, and wanted to go back to watch the match .

As the old housekeeper of the Chen family, he watched Chen Qiuyi grow up, so he naturally hoped that she would have a good home.

Therefore, the eyes stayed on those young men who were not bad in appearance, and they were thinking about their own smallness in their hearts, wanting to find a suitable partner, and handing over the answers of the next essay test to his hands.

"Hey, housekeeper, what's so interesting about this? You must be more interested in what I have here."

Xie Muyan sensed the anxiety of the steward, and pulled him to her side a little more roguely, with a slight amount of internal force on her hand, which made him unable to move for a while, only two eyeballs were still on the competition stage. searching.

"I heard that Miss Chen's appearance is ugly. That's why Mr. Chen relied on the property of the Chen family to come up with a way to recruit relatives, attract many men, and hand Miss Chen into the hands of an unsuspecting groom. Housekeeper, what do you say?" Am I right?"

Every time the housekeeper heard a sentence, his face turned pale. By the time Xie Muyan finished speaking, he was already sweating profusely. Even his heavy winter clothes were slightly soaked by the sweat from his back, but his mouth was still wet. Unwilling to give in.

"Nonsense! My young lady looks like a fairy, and she has countless suitors..."

"Oh? Then please explain to the housekeeper. If this is the case, why do you have to bring up the matter of recruiting relatives?"

Xie Muyan directly interrupted his struggling words, with a look of impatience already on his face, the eyes that seemed to see through everything made the housekeeper break out in a cold sweat, which was finally suppressed, and broke out again.

"Housekeeper, you are also a smart person, I hope..."

"8000 taels of gold, is this enough?"

As if he didn't want to hear Xie Muyan's voice again, the butler stretched out eight fingers, and looked at her with a pleading look in his eyes.

The boy in front of him, who looked only about 13 years old, made him feel an invisible pressure, as if everything had fallen under her control.

"Housekeeper, I'm here to ask for money, but not for hush money."

Xie Muyan had a smug smile on her face because of the butler's attitude.She opened her mouth softly, but because of the steward's attentive listening, the words she said fell into his ears verbatim.

"Let me see your young lady's face. I'm [-]% sure that I can cure any strange disease."

The butler suddenly changed his face, and looked at her with some surprise that he didn't have before.Even the posture of speaking has become a lot more humble.

"Young master, please let us... talk further."

In fact, he didn't know whether what Xie Muyan said was true, but somehow he felt convinced.

He had a hunch that the young lady's disease, which many famous doctors felt helpless, might really be cured in the hands of this young man.

Both Mu Jiayu and Xinran were left in the outer courtyard because they were men. Only Xie Muyan followed the butler all the way to the inner courtyard, where Chen Qiuyi lived.

"Housekeeper, is the final result already out? It's... this young master?"

Mrs. Chen had been waiting in Chen Qiuyi's room all this time. The moment she saw Xie Muyan, her eyes suddenly lit up, but then she was a little worried.

The joy is that this young man looks clean and smart, and he is a good character; the worry is that, judging by his clothes, he may be a child from a rich family, and he snatched the hydrangea just out of curiosity.

If there is some big family behind him that the Chen family can't afford to offend, it will be so good when Chen Qiuyi's face is revealed...

However, the housekeeper's subsequent words immediately interrupted the worries in her heart.

"Ma'am, this young master is very skilled in medicine. He said that he might be able to cure Miss..."

The housekeeper bowed respectfully to Mrs. Chen, and couldn't help but look into the room twice, sighing inwardly.

"Mrs. Chen, you can rest assured. As long as I take action, I must be absolutely sure. If I can't cure this disease, I won't charge any money, and I won't spread any bad news about the lady."

Xie Muyan saw the doubts of the woman in front of her, her voice was steady.Seeing that polite appearance, Mrs. Chen's affection was greatly increased. After gritting her teeth, she welcomed her into Chen Qiuyi's room.

"Mother, has the bridegroom officer been chosen?"

Chen Qiuyi was sitting upright on the edge of the bed with a red handkerchief covering her face. After hearing footsteps, she immediately asked.His voice was as crisp as a yellow warbler, mixed with some trembling due to nervousness.

"mother!"

Chen Qiuyi only felt that there was a sudden light in front of her, and the light she hadn't seen for a long time suddenly caught her eyes, making her close her eyes uncomfortably.Suddenly realizing that his face is invisible to others, he yelled reflexively, covering his face with his wide sleeves.

Now, she hardly dared to face the disgusted expression of the future groom after seeing her ugly face, but heard a clear voice echoing in the room.

"It can be cured." Xie Muyan said lightly.

Although she only took a glance, but with her many years of experience in treatment, she was able to determine what kind of disease it was.

"Miss Chen has been poisoned. I will prescribe a medicine for you now, and it will be effective after taking it. After taking it for a month, the poison will be cured."

No need to think about it, she also knows that this is another trick played by wives and concubines in the backyard to frame each other, but she doesn't want to get involved, so after prescribing the medicine, she sits Sitting on the chair aside, no matter how Mrs. Chen asked, she didn't say anything.

Although she was skeptical, Mrs. Chen still ordered the maids to go to the pharmacy to get the medicine; even the housekeeper went to the front yard, stopped the next competition, and gave away a lot of money, so that those who came to participate in the marriage recruitment went out with satisfaction. through the door of the Chen family.

Now that Chen Qiuyi's face has been cured, she will surely find a good husband in the future.Then there is no need to go on recruiting relatives.

Time passed by, Mrs. Chen and the master of the Chen family who came over after hearing the news were all waiting in the room anxiously, hoping that the maid who made the medicine would come earlier.

On the contrary, Chen Qiuyi sat quietly by the bed. The closer it was to the time when her appearance recovered, the calmer she became in her heart. From time to time, she sneaked a glance at Xie Muyan who was sitting on the chair beside her with her eyes closed and rested. His face was hot.

Fortunately, because she was poisoned, her face was completely black, and no one could see her strangeness.

"Master, madam, miss...the medicine is here." The servant girl's voice broke the silence.

A maid came over carefully carrying a bowl of black medicinal soup, and handed it to Chen Qiuyi respectfully. There was so much medicine that it seemed as if it was about to be poured out of the bowl.

"Little genius doctor, this..."

Mrs. Chen tightly covered her nose with a silk handkerchief because of the peculiar smell from the medicine, and looked at Xie Muyan in embarrassment.

Can something like this really drink?Was the young boy in front of him really not playing with them?

As soon as such thoughts appeared in her mind, Mrs. Chen couldn't help thinking of what Xie Muyan had done before, and began to doubt her identity more and more. She put down and stood up, trying to prevent Chen Qiuyi from seeing that Drink the medicine soup that you can't swallow.

"No, mother, you give it to me, I want to drink it. I trust this young man."

Unexpectedly by Xie Muyan, instead of refusing to drink the bowl of medicine, Chen Qiuyi snatched it from Mrs. Chen's hand, regardless of the drops of the medicine dripping on her clean clothes, where her lips touched the edge of the bowl In an instant, he drank it all in one gulp.

"Hey, I said you child, why are you... alas!"

Seeing that the consequences could not be undone, Mrs. Chen could only stamp her feet with a headache. She didn't know what to do for a while, so she could only cry and look at the Patriarch with help-seeking eyes.

At this time, Patriarch Chen had already raised his teacup high, looking at Xie Muyan with ice-cold eyes.

As long as he drops the cup in his hand, the guards he hired will soon surround the place.He has plenty of means to make this film die without a place to bury it.

"Mom, my face seems to feel more comfortable than before!"

Chen Qiuyi suddenly grabbed Mrs. Chen's hand, and raised the other hand in the air, as if she wanted to touch her face, but she didn't dare to act rashly.

She gesticulated her feelings incomparably, but saw the shock on her parents' faces, and then transformed into full of joy.

"Miss, your face is much whiter than before!"

The maid who was still waiting on the side was the first to react from the shock, happily took the bronze mirror from the side, and brought it to Chen Qiuyi.

Chen Qiuyi stared intently at her blurred self in the mirror, and saw that her face was obviously much paler, and even the tip of her brow was stained with a smile.

She looked at Xie Muyan who was still sitting on the wooden chair, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

"Master Chen, you have also seen it. My medicine has a miraculous effect. I have solved the problem that bothers you the most. It is up to you to decide how much to give."

Xie Muyan didn't notice Chen Qiuyi's gaze on her, but spread her hand in front of Patriarch Chen, the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

"You know, little genius doctor, I am a businessman, and I don't do things that make people lose money. Do you think this is okay? I will give you 5 taels of gold as a deposit. If a month later, my daughter's face, Indeed, as you said, it has returned to its original appearance, and you come here to get the remaining 5 taels of silver."
