Chapter 20: The Cause of Her Mother’s Death
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Su Dingheng’s heart was always biased towards Su Yurou. Seeing her faint, he could not help but look at Su Hao, “Hao’er, go get a ginseng for your sister to nourish her body.”
Su Hao’s expression was indifferent, “The ginseng belongs to my younger sister.”
“Rou’er is also your younger sister!”
Before Su Hao was going to blurt out that she wasn’t, Su Yingxue beat him to it and said, “Father, brother didn’t want to give her the ginseng it’s for her own good. She fainted because she was so angry. If she took the ginseng now, her internal fire would be so strong that it would directly take her life!”
“This…” Su Dingheng was shocked. “Is it really that serious?”
“Since father doesn’t believe me, then let’s try. It’s not difficult to prepare the funeral in the manor.”
Su Yingxue looked at Su Hao gently. “Brother, go get a ginseng for your younger sister. As for whether she can enjoy it…”
“No need!”
Su Dingheng trembled. “Your sister’s body is weak. She can’t take such nourishment!”
He turned to look at Yuan Ruo. “You damn servant girl, are you trying to kill Rou’er? Hurry up and help her back to rest!”
Yuan Ruo did not get the ginseng, and Su Dingheng even berated her, causing her to shrink her neck and leave.
A servant came to report to Su Dingheng, “Marquis, the lords have come to congratulate you. When will the celebratory feast begin?”
Su Dingheng’s face was suddenly filled with colors. This celebratory banquet was originally prepared for Su Jinxuan. Who would have thought that this son of a b*tch would not only do such an embarrassing thing, but he was also not showing his face now?
Su Dingheng was helpless. He looked at Su Hao as if he was asking for help, “Hao’er, since you won today, I’ve prepared a celebratory feast for you. I’ve even invited a few of your uncles. Look…”
He was so guilty that he didn’t dare to keep looking at Su Hao.
Su Hao was straightforward. “Father prepared it for Second Brother. It’s not convenient for me to appear, so I’ll send my sister back first.”
After Su Hao finished speaking, he left with Su Yingxue. The siblings stood tall and straight, and their bearing was outstanding, making people admire them.
Su Dingheng stomped his feet angrily in the living room.
On the way back to the courtyard, Su Yingxue was still a little surprised. “Brother, you have never lost your temper with Father before, nor would you embarrass him. Tonight, he is destined to embarrass himself.”
Su Hao’s face was tense, and his gentle eyes were covered with a layer of frost, “He asked for it. It has nothing to do with me.”
“You hate father?”
Su Yingxue was sensitive enough to notice that Su Hao’s eyes flashed with a trace of blood. In her memory, Su Hao had always been indifferent to Su Dingheng.
She thought that it was because Su Hao had been raised by his grandfather since he was young.
However, it seemed that there were still things that she did not know.
“If I had a good father, mother wouldn’t have died. You are also the beloved daughter of the Marquis’s Manor, and these years wouldn’t have been so difficult.”
Su Hao closed his eyes to hide the pain in his eyes.
Su Yingxue was shocked. Her mother had passed away after giving birth to her. She had never even seen her mother’s face. In her previous life, she had never investigated the cause of her mother’s death, but now she had to!
“Brother, who harmed mother?” Su Yingxue wanted to know so badly.
Su Hao’s eyes suddenly became clear as he patted Su Yingxue’s shoulder. “It’s my fault. Why did I bring this up? Mother is in heaven and will only hope that you and I will live well. Sister, rest early.”
Su Hao pushed Su Yingxue into the courtyard and turned around to leave.
He knew that his sister was different from before. In the past, he couldn’t even wait to protect her, so why would he mention their mother to her?
Now that he knew that she was different, he only wanted her to live well.
When Su Yingxue returned to the courtyard, she could not calm down for a long time. The cause of her mother’s death lingered in her mind.
She called Old Madam Zhang over to ask.
Old Madam Zhang looked troubled and stammered, “Miss, it’s better for you not to know about Madam’s matters.”
“Speak!” Su Yingxue’s eyes were bloodshot.
“Miss, please forgive me! At that time, I was not serving in the courtyard. I only heard that Madam had an affair with someone and was discovered by the Old Master. At that time, she had a hard time giving birth when she was pregnant with you, that’s why she…”
Su Yingxue gritted her teeth. “This is impossible!”
Although she had never seen her mother, she would never believe this.
Old Madam Zhang was so frightened that she trembled. Miss’s peerless appearance was very similar to Madam’s, and her pair of eyes were even more beautiful like glass. However, when she had hostile eyes, it made people afraid.
“Forget it.” Su Yingxue closed her eyes and restrained her hostility.
She wanted to investigate the cause of her mother’s death. There was still a long way to go. The most important thing now was to grasp the power of the Marquis’s Manor in her hands!
She took out dozens of taels of silver and gave them to Old Madam Zhang. “This is the salary for this month. You and Zhilan will distribute it later. The other five taels are for your quick work today and not letting Su Yurou get wind of it.”
“This… Thank you for your grace, Miss!”
Old Madam Zhang happily kowtowed to Su Yingxue. She had originally suspected that Su Yingxue would not be able to take out the silver to treat them well, but now that she had the silver in her hands, this heavy feeling made her even more determined to be loyal to Su Yingxue.
Su Yingxue received news from Manager Qi that a patient had already come to make an appointment.
She told Old Madam Zhang to look after the courtyard and took Zhilan to the medical center.
Manager Qi was waiting for her in the inner hall and even prepared a black bamboo hat for her. “Miss, this patient is generous. He paid a thousand taels of silver as a deposit and said that if Miss can cure the patient, he will give you an even more generous reward.”
Su Yingxue’s gaze swept past the plate of silver ingots. “I understand.”
“Miss, the carriage is waiting in the rear courtyard to bring you over.”
Su Yingxue nodded. Before she left, she asked her, “Did Miss Wu see the recruitment notice? Did she come to apply?”
Manager Qi shook his head. “I specially sent someone to the Minister’s Estate to send out a few advertisements, but I didn’t see Miss Wu come. I believe that Miss Wu, as the Miss of the Minister’s Estate, even if she wanted to work in the medical cener, she wouldn’t be allowed.”
It was not easy for a woman to come out to work, let alone the daughter of the Minister’s Estate.
Su Yingxue’s eyes were filled with pity. If Wu Jinyan could not even solve this small matter, then her ability was indeed not worthy of Su Hao.
Su Yingxue was dressed in a black outfit and a black bamboo hat. She got into a low-key and luxurious carriage.
There was a fine wool blanket in the car and an incense burner. The smoke curled up, making it especially relaxing.
However, Su Yingxue began to calculate the patient’s identity.
It had been five minutes since the carriage left the center, and the outside of the carriage had gone from bustling to dead silent. She was carried into the manor by a sedan chair, and there was not even a cough.
What a strict place!
“Doctor, we’re here.”
Su Yingxue alighted from the carriage at the entrance of a courtyard. The courtyard exuded a dignified and cold aura. The pillars painted with red sandalwood and gold indicated the owner’s rich financial resources.
The coiling dragon pattern on the pillar indicated his identity.
The people of the royal family were dragons among men.
Which prince’s mansion was this?
Su Yingxue was puzzled as she walked. When she missed Chu Chengye, she went to his mansion. It was very imposing, but it was far from being as majestic as this place.
Su Yingxue could not guess the patient’s identity, and her eyes had a trace of doubt.
