Chapter 26 The Suspiciousness of Mrs. Shangshu's Mother and Daughter(1/2)
Su Yiting was angry at the Divine Doctor Pavilion. When he heard what the steward said that he had to go to the Office of the Minister of Rites to seek help from that ugly Xi Qingyan, he felt very unhappy!
"How can I, the noble prince, seek a home for a disfigured daughter?"
Su Yiting had a hundred and a thousand unwillingnesses in his heart.
"Your Highness, since the head of the Divine Doctor Pavilion has said that Xi Qingyan, the eldest lady of the Shangshu Mansion, is acquainted with the Master of the Divine Doctor Valley, you can call Xi Qingyan's father, the Lord Shangshu!"
"At that time, Your Highness, you only need to give orders. Is it possible that the Minister of Rites still dares to disobey His Highness's orders?"
Seeing the prince's reluctance, the guard beside Su Yiting took the initiative to give him an idea.
"You are the king, and the Minister of Rites is a minister. If a minister cannot help the king take care of his worries, then he is not a good minister!"
"That makes sense!"
After hearing what the guard said, Su Yiting felt that it made sense.
"Go back to the palace and ask the Minister of Rites to come see me!"
Su Yiting did not want to beg those lowly people in a lowly manner, so he returned to the palace, drank tribute tea and waited for the Minister of Rites to come to him.
Before the cup of tea was finished, the Minister of Rites came in a hurry.
"Your Majesty has met His Highness. I wonder what your Highness wants to do when you come to Your Majesty?"
Lord Shangshu saluted Su Yiting who was sitting on the table, but he was very curious in his heart.
Su Yiting is His Majesty's most beloved prince. If there are any rare objects in the palace, then Su Yiting's share must be indispensable!
Secretly, the ministers in the court hoped to have a relationship with Su Yiting.
Master Xi, the Minister of Rites, is no exception.
"Lord Xi, I heard that the eldest daughter of your family is familiar with the master of the Miracle Doctor Valley. Is this true or false?"
Lord Shangshu thought Su Yiting was trying to win him over to his sect, but he never expected that His Highness Su Yiting was talking about his eldest daughter Xi Qingyan!
For a moment, Master Shangshu didn't come back to his senses.
"Yes Yes……"
Mr. Shangshu Xi has never cared much about matters at home. On weekdays, the trivial matters at home are left to his wife to handle.
However, Mr. Xi heard his wife mention this matter in his ears.
"Your Highness, my second daughter was ill that day, and I invited the miraculous doctor Gu Guzhu to come and see her. Later, the Gu Guzhu said that her people would come to the mansion to ask for payment from Xiang Guan's wife."
"Xiaoguan remembers that the person who later came to ask for payment was Xiaguan's eldest daughter Xi Qingyan."
Master Shangshu Xi told Su Yiting in front of him exactly what he heard in his mind.
After hearing this, Su Yiting realized that the director of the Divine Medical Pavilion did not deliberately trick him.
"Master Xi, you are an official of the imperial court. As the daughter of an official, why is Xi Qingyan so entangled with the Valley of Divine Doctors in the world?"
"I remember that Mr. Xi's family has always lived in Kyoto and rarely moved out. Mr. Xi has been promoted step by step in these years. How come your daughter knows the master of the Valley of Miracle Doctors?"
Su Yiting always felt strange.
Everyone in Kyoto knows that Xi Qingyan is that ugly person, and also knows that because of her disfigured appearance, Xi Qingyan has been staying in the Shangshu Mansion and cannot come out to see anyone.
How could such a close-knit official from an official family get involved with the master of the miracle doctor Valley?
"Your Highness, I actually don't know much about this matter."
"Xiaguan has been working in Kyoto. Four or five years ago, my daughter Xi Qingyan was in an accident and her whereabouts were unknown. Everyone in the house thought that she died outside, and Xiaguan also thought so."
"Not until recently, when my eldest daughter rushed home from outside, did we know that she was not dead and was still alive in the world."
"I feel ashamed and know nothing about what she has experienced in the past few years."
Master Xi had an embarrassment on his face. He originally thought he was going to be tested today, but he didn't expect Su Yiting to ask a lot about his daughter Xi Qingyan.
"Your Highness, did you really bring me here just to ask about my daughter Xi Qingyan?"
Mr. Xi was very unwilling.
He has worked diligently as an official in the court for so many years, and has done so many things, big and small, but now, he is not as impressive in His Highness' heart as his disfigured daughter!
"Your Highness, you asked me to come here, but you don't have anything to tell me?"
Mr. Xi looked shy and continued to ask.
How could he, a dignified Minister of Rites, lose to his own daughter?
"I have called Mr. Xi here today. Naturally, I have something to tell Mr. Xi." Su Yiting looked at the impatient expression of the Minister of Rites in front of him, and sneered in his heart. He did not expect that the Minister of Rites was nothing more than that, "Shang Shu
Sir, do you still know what happened when you came in from the palace?"
Master Shangshu Xi shook his head.
"I don't know anything about the affairs in the palace. It's just that when I went to court today, I found that the doctors in the palace looked nervous and walked in a hurry."
"Master Shangshu has great eyesight!"
"Actually, my mother-in-law is sick. Now, all the doctors in the palace are helpless to deal with my mother-in-law's illness!"
"My father gave those quack doctors a good beating, and they finally said that the master of the miracle doctor Valley could cure my mother-in-law."
After Su Yiting finished speaking, he looked condescendingly at Mr. Xi, the Minister of Rites in front of him.
Mr. Xi has never been so watched by the prince, and he didn't know what to do for a while. Only when he put together what Su Yiting said before and after did he understand what Su Yiting meant!
"Your Highness, do you want to ask your subordinate to return to the palace, and then ask my daughter Xi Qingyan to find her miraculous doctor, the Master of the Valley, to diagnose and treat the imperial concubine?"
"Talk to smart people and you'll save energy."
Seeing that Master Shangshu understood what he meant, Su Yiting finally had a smile on his face.
"Master Xi, if you can accomplish this and cure my concubine, you can rest assured that this palace will definitely not miss you!"
If you want a horse to run, you must let it eat grass first.
If Mr. Xi is not promised benefits, then the other party will definitely not feel comfortable doing things for him.
"Your Highness, don't worry. Your Majesty will definitely take care of this matter. Your Highness can just wait for the good news!"
Lord Shangshu finally found a stepping stone to join His Highness Su Yiting's camp. How could he let go of this great opportunity?
In life, it is important to work hard, but the most important thing is to work hard in the right direction.
Now that he has a favored prince named Su Yiting, his future career will be smooth sailing!
"The body of my concubine cannot be supported. Lord Shangshu, the sooner this matter is done, the better."
Su Yiting gave Master Xi some advice before he left.
"Your Highness, I promise to find the Master of the Miracle Doctor Valley as soon as possible!"
Lord Shangshu made a promise to Su Yiting.
"Okay, we are waiting for the good news from Mr. Xi."
Lord Shangshu Xi left the palace and rushed back to Shangshu Mansion in a hurry. Changing from his normal routine, he did not go to his wife and second lady, but went straight to Xi Qingyan's Hanlian Garden.
Lord Shangshu's unusual behavior was immediately reported to Madam Shangshu by the servants in the palace.
"Madam, my lord brought many things with me today, and with a smile on my face, I went straight to the eldest lady's garden. I took a look at the things in my hands. They are all the favorite gadgets of the young lady and the young master in Kyoto.
."
"There's not only food inside, but also things to wear and play. The master usually has a serious face, but today he actually smiled at the young lady!"
Mrs. Shangshu's confidant slave told the mistress in the hall vividly about the scene she saw.
"enough!"
Mrs. Shangshu was already extremely angry after hearing half of it!
Back then, if she hadn't found a way to keep Xi Qingyan away from Master Shangshu's father and daughter, she and Xi Chuyu's mother and daughter would definitely not have had an easy life in the mansion of Shangshu Mansion.
Now, she didn't expect that just a few years after this stable life, her husband would actually have feelings of admiration for Xi Qingyan's daughter again!
How could Madam Shangshu endure this matter?
"Mother, are you still going to sit here? Nowadays, Xi Qingyan's ugly methods are becoming more and more sophisticated!"
"Not only has she taken advantage of other people, but now even her father has begun to favor her!"
"In the past, when my father came back to his home, he would always be the first to visit his daughter. Even if there was something delicious to eat or drink, my father would always be the first to give it to me!"
"Now, Xi Qingyan has taken all the things that originally belonged to me as her own!"
After the palace banquet, Xi Chuyu was embarrassed and disgraced.
In order not to let the people in Kyoto laugh at herself, Xi Chuyu has been staying in the house to raise her!
She has been nursing for the past few days and has been feeling uncomfortable all over!
"Mom, our honor and disgrace are all tied to my father. If we, mother and daughter, really can't beat Xi Qingyan's little hoof, then we really won't be able to gain a foothold in this family!"
"good!"
Xi Chuyu's words made Mrs. Shangshu unable to sit down any longer.
