Chapter 27 The Bankrupt Mrs. Shangshu(1/2)
"Father, my daughter believes that she can definitely help you, father!"
Xi Chuyu sat obediently next to Master Xi, pouring tea and water for her father.
"And my sister just said that my mother and I can help. Father, why don't you let me give it a try?"
Xi Chuyu would never let Xi Qingyan step on her head and dominate her.
"Chu Yu, what are you causing trouble here? My father told me this, so I must take it lightly!" Mr. Xi was anxious. Seeing his second daughter making trouble in order to win favor, he became even more impatient. "You are also with us.
Shang Shufu, just be your second lady honestly and don’t be competitive in everything. If you don’t have diamonds, don’t take the porcelain job!"
'"Father!"
Xi Chuyu has felt that she is inferior to Xi Qingyan since she was a child!
Now, Xi Chuyu is scolding Xi Qingyan directly in front of her. How can Xi Chuyu bear it? She relies on her parents' love and is used to being arrogant and domineering in the Shangshu Mansion. Others treat her respectfully, so how can anyone feel wronged to her?
by?
"Dad, I think you might as well give Xi Chuyu a try on this matter. She is also the second young lady of our Shangshu Mansion after all."
Xi Chuyu's plea did not win Master Xi's relent, but Xi Qingyan on the side spoke with interest.
The poison she gave to Concubine Dong could not kill her, it would only make Concubine Dong comatose, and then she would have nightmares while in the coma.
That day, Concubine Dong Gui made her son suffer a lot. If she didn't teach her a lesson, she would be sorry for her son who almost drowned!
"If Xi Chuyu is not good, doesn't she still have a wife behind her?"
Xi Qingyan watched the excitement from the side, and then pushed the gifts sent by Master Shangshu one by one in front of Xi Chuyu.
"I'll give you all these gifts, Xi Chuyu, don't let dad down!"
Xi Qingyan stood up and walked out gracefully.
"where you go?"
Lord Shangshu saw Xi Qingyan leaving and quickly stopped him.
"Qingyan, don't you like these gifts? If you don't like these gifts, my father will ask someone to buy you another one!"
"You kid can't just leave like this! Father is counting on you this time!"
"master!"
When Mrs. Shangshu saw her husband getting up and going to chase Xi Qingyan, she quickly held him back. After watching Xi Qingyan's figure disappear in front of and behind the door, Mrs. Shangshu let go.
"Why are you holding me back?"
Lord Shangshu turned to face his wife and yelled.
"Do you know what happened to me? This matter is extremely important to my career. You, a woman with long hair and short knowledge, only know how to get in the way at critical moments!"
"If Qingyan's mother were alive, she would definitely not stop me like you!"
Lord Shangshu blurted out, but he was referring to his dead wife. When Mrs. Shangshu heard this, she felt resentful.
She hates it most when people in the house compare her with a dead person!
People in Kyoto said that she, the remarried wife of the minister, was not as noble as the deceased wife of the minister!
She worked hard to manage the hundreds of people in Shangshu's house and take care of all the affairs of the family, but in the end she was not as good as a dead person!
"Master, of course I have my own reasons for stopping you!"
The madam suppressed the anger in her heart.
If she refuted this matter with Lord Shangshu now, he would definitely make Lord Shangshu hate her even more.
"Why did you stop me? If you can't tell me that you are ugly today, I won't be able to spare you!"
"Master, Qingyan's child is your daughter. I know you need her help for something, but sir, look at how arrogant Qingyan's child looked just now. She doesn't remember that she is your daughter at all!"
"As a daughter, she should share her father's worries, but Qingyan was indifferent to your good intentions, sir, and she even returned these gifts!"
"The reason why I stopped the master from chasing you out directly is because I don't want you to lose face as the head of the family in this family!"
"You are the Minister of Rites, and I can regulate the etiquette and regulations of this country properly. If outsiders know that you can't tame your daughter, won't they laugh at you?"
"If the news about them laughing at you reaches the ears of the Holy One again, and the Holy One also has doubts about your ability, then it will be a huge disaster for our Shangshu Mansion!"
Mrs. Shangshu's words calmed Master Xi a lot. Seeing that the time was right, she continued to offer suggestions in a soft voice.
"Moreover, Master, you didn't tell us, mother and daughter, what exactly you were going to do!"
"Maybe once you tell me, Master, Chu Yu and I can handle this matter properly?"
Mrs. Shangshu spoke softly, and when Xi Chuyu saw that her mother had comforted her father, she played a drum beside her.
"Father, I am also your daughter. In my opinion, if I can have the opportunity to help my father, I will definitely be grateful!"
In order to show that she is a filial daughter, Xi Chuyu naturally wanted to compare herself with Xi Qingyan.
"Father, I don't need you to buy me these things. You raised me. My daughter has not repaid her father and mother for her kindness in raising her. How can she let her father spend so much money just because he asked for help?"
Mr. Xi felt very comfortable after hearing the words of Xi Chuyu and Mrs. Shangshu.
He thought carefully about His Highness Su Yiting's words and felt that His Highness just wanted him to find the Master of the Miracle Medical Valley. If Xi Chuyu could help him find the Master of the Miracle Medical Valley, maybe he could use this beautiful daughter to work with him.
Su Yiting has a relationship!
"Okay, Chu Yu, my father will tell you and your mother what happened now!"
Xi Chuyu is more beautiful than Xi Qingyan's daughter. All men in the world love beauty. Maybe his daughter Xi Chuyu can take advantage of this opportunity to become the daughter-in-law of the royal family in one fell swoop!
"Concubine Dong Guifei in the palace is ill now. Her condition is very serious. All the imperial doctors in the palace can't cure Concubine Dong Guifei's illness. The imperial doctors gave their advice to Your Majesty and recommended the miracle doctor Valley Master."
"However, the Master of the Divine Medical Valley is not in Kyoto. His Highness Su Yiting found the Divine Medical Pavilion. They said that as long as they find Qingyan, they may invite the Master of the Divine Medical Valley."
"So it turns out that we just want to invite the mysterious and unpredictable miraculous doctor Valley Master?"
Xi Chuyu finally understood why his father came to Xi Qingyan.
"Father, leave this matter to your daughter. Xi Qingyan is not the only one in our family who has dealt with the Valley of Miracle Doctors!"
"My daughter also went to the Valley of Divine Doctors, and she had some friendship with the owner of the Valley of Divine Doctors!"
Xi Chuyu was very competitive, so in order to win the praise of his father, he forcefully described himself as an old friend of the master of the Miracle Doctor Valley.
In fact, every encounter she had with the Master of the Miracle Medical Valley was not a pleasant one!
"Yes, sir, I also know the boss of the Miracle Doctor Pavilion, and I can also help me find the owner of the Miracle Doctor Valley!"
Naturally, Mrs. Shangshu would not undermine her daughter.
"Okay! Okay! With a virtuous wife and filial daughter like you, I will have no regrets in my life!"
Lord Shangshu turned his anger into joy.
He had just been soaking in the Hanlian Garden for a long time, but Xi Qingyan was unwilling to let go and agreed to help him find the master of the miracle doctor Valley.
Now, Lord Shangshu looked at Xi Chuyu and his daughter who took the initiative to ask for help, and felt filled with emotion in his heart.
"Madam, what you just said is right. My husband was temporarily confused. I shouldn't have gone to this garden to beg my daughter in such a lowly manner. This is not in line with the way a father and son should behave."
"master……"
Master Shangshu spoke apologetically, and Mrs. Shangshu's face was filled with emotion.
"We are all a family. No matter whether we help or not, it is my duty as a wife to supervise you."
Seeing that she had taken control of her husband again, Mrs. Shangshu took her daughter Xi Chuyu and rushed to the Divine Doctor Pavilion in a hurry.
"Valley Master, the mother and daughter from the Minister of Rites' Mansion are here again just as you said!"
The director of the Divine Medical Pavilion watched from afar as Xi Chuyu and Mrs. Shangshu were riding in sedan chairs towards the direction of their Divine Medical Pavilion.
"Well, I'll leave this matter to you."
"The pills I just left for you can wake up the comatose Concubine Dong for two hours a day, and you can only take one pill a day."
"You keep these pills and sell them one by one to the mother and daughter outside. I believe that with their temperament, they will definitely pay a high price for the pills."
Of the dowry left by Xi Qingyan's mother, she wanted half of it back last time, and this time she wants to get the remaining half back with interest.
"Valley Master, how much should I price this pill?"
The master of the Divine Medical Pavilion understood that the master of the valley was trying to trick the mother and daughter from outside, and regarded Madam Shangshu as their victim!
"Fifty thousand taels of silver, one pill."
Xi Qingyan stretched out her finger and said.
"This pill costs 50,000 taels. Will Madam Shangshu pay for it?"
The director of the Divine Medical Pavilion looked at the pills in his hand and said with a doubtful look on his face. In fact, the pills in his hand were not expensive. They only sold for one thousand taels of silver in ordinary transactions.
"The person they want to curry favor with is the noble Concubine Dong. It's only 50,000 taels. I believe they will be willing to pay this amount!"
Xi Qingyan smiled to appease the boss.
She knows that Xi Chuyu loves vanity the most. She wants to fly up a branch and become a phoenix. If 50,000 taels of silver can help her realize her wish, Xi Chuyu will definitely pay for the medicine happily!
"Okay, I obey!"
