Chapter Ninety-Seven: Showing Favor (1st Update)
After reading it, Chen Dongting couldn't help but sink his face, and said, "If this is really the case, should we change the direction of the investigation?" β
Li Che quickly skimmed through the note again, took out the fire fold, and burned it. Fang Cai said: "Brother Duan is just guessing, not necessarily true. You and I have put in such a lot of effort, just to find the evidence of the crime of the father and son of the Marquis of Subei, if we give up now, won't we have lost all our efforts? β
Chen Dongting was a little anxious and said, "But if that's not the case, our efforts will be in vain." Can the Holy Lord wait so long for the general? When the general is called back, it will be even more empty. β
Li Che stared into the distance, pondered for a moment, and said, "I don't believe it's a coincidence. Let's dig through the clues at hand, and find a chance to meet Miss Chu San and ask about the matter. If you still can't find definite evidence, let it go. β
Chen Dongting knew that Li Che had put a lot of effort into this task, and it was not that he could let go of it, and it was not easy to take a step back. Then he said: "Then I'll go back and make arrangements." As far as possible, I contacted the third girl of Chu. β
Although he discussed with Qi Peng or married Danyu, rumors spread all over the world, and Zeng's heart was still uncomfortable.
Suddenly, I heard a report from Weaving Painting, saying that Qi Zhen had tripped in the garden and made a big cut on his arm.
Zeng hurriedly went to Qi Zhen's house.
I saw Qi Zhen lying on the bed, her right arm was on the outside of the quilt, a big mouth was shocking, the nurse sat next to her and wiped the wound with a handkerchief twisted with water, and every time she touched Qi Zhen, she gasped in pain.
Zeng's heart was so distressed that he hurriedly stepped forward and took the handkerchief from the nurse's hand, and said, "I don't know how to light my hand, so carefully Zhen'er hurts." β
The nurse hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy again and again.
Qi Zhen said: "Mother, the nurse is very light, but Zhen'er can't stand it, no wonder she." β
Zeng said: "You are kind-hearted, thinking about them all day long." How did you fall? also made such a big cut......" and said to the nurse and others: "How do you serve the girl?" Let the girl fall on her heels! Also hurt! β
Qi Zhen hurriedly said: "Mother, I have to go to the lake to play, I didn't pay attention to the slippery ground, and I accidentally fell down......"
Zeng interrupted Qi Zhen's words and said, "The master is injured, even if the subordinates have thousands of reasons, they are also at fault. All the people in the girl's room deducted two months' silver, and the nurse was the most responsible, and dragged out to fight the top ten boards. β
The nurse's face turned pale at once, and she begged for mercy again and again, Qi Zhen also took Zeng's hand to intercede for the nurse, but Zeng was unmoved, and pulled the nurse out with a few strokes.
Qi Zhen saw that the nurse was still being punished, and she was not happy in her heart, so she got into the bed and turned her back to Zeng.
Zeng was not angry, and asked Qi Zhen's eldest maid if she had invited a doctor Yunyun.
After a while, the doctor came, and after carefully looking at Qi Zhen's wound, he said: "The girl's mouth is fortunately not deep, and it has not hurt the muscles and bones, but the wound is relatively large, and I am afraid that it will leave a scar." β
The girl's body is the most precious, and she can't even cover it with clothes after leaving a scar.
Zeng asked urgently: "How can this leave a scar?" Is there no way to get rid of it? β
The doctor touched his beard and muttered, "It's not that there is no way at all. There is a special Jinchuang medicine in the Northwest Army, which has a very good effect, but it is only a medicine in the army, and there is no prescription outside. Madame can find a way to find the medicine and give it to the young lady to try. β
Isn't that just a request to go to the Subei Marquis Mansion? Zeng's heart was already against the Chu family, and it was not a good taste to hear this.
The doctor prescribed some more external and internal medicines, and repeatedly told him about the taboos of eating and drinking before leaving.
Zeng Shi saw that Qi Zhen was still angry and didn't speak, so he had to order the maid to serve well, and ordered the weaving to prepare the carriage and horses, and go to the Subei Hou Mansion without further ado.
When Chang heard that Zeng was coming, he muttered in his heart, it couldn't be a family affair and something was wrong, right? I only felt bored for a while, but I had to pretend to be smiling and go out to greet him.
Zeng didn't say anything else, and directly explained the intention.
Chang Shi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it, as long as it wasn't related to family affairs, it was easy to do, and wasn't it Jinchuang Medicine? There are more in the storeroom.
Chang immediately called Shi's mother to go to the warehouse to get the medicine, and ordered to bring some warm medicinal materials.
Then I thought about it carefully, and there were rumors outside, if I could visit Qi Zhen in Qi Mansion and use this matter to show the friendship between the two families, would the rumors stop?
Chang said: "I haven't seen Sister Zhen for a few days, and I am also very worried when I hear that she is injured, why don't I go with Sister Dan to have a look?" I also show a little concern. β
Zeng also felt that the relationship with the Hou Mansion was a little tense these days, and since he still wanted to be a family of children and daughters, he still had a better relationship, so he said: "Madame has a heart, I thank you for the little girl." β
Since the Zeng family agreed, the Chang family called Caixia to invite Danyu, prepared a carriage, and went to Qi Mansion together.
After seeing Qi Zhen, Chang Shi naturally said something of concern, and even Danyu gave a homemade sachet, only saying that there were soothing dried flowers in it, and wearing it around him would help promote sleep.
Danyu seems to have returned to the original state of advancing and retreating, and Chang and Zeng are very satisfied. This is also the first good sign since the family affair was agreed.
So, the two families ended the meeting amicably, and deliberately let people spread the news of the meeting.
The original rumors have been spread for a long time, and they are already a clichΓ©, and the Chu family and the Qi family did not make trouble because of this, but the people who wanted to see the excitement were disappointed.
Now that the news of the two families meeting amicably has come out, the original rumors have slowly subsided.
Zeng's was also relieved, but Qi Peng's family affairs were not so ugly.
But there is an old monk at the door of Qi's house, saying that the daughter of the Chu family should not marry, otherwise the sister-in-law will not be in harmony and there will be a disaster of blood.
When Zeng heard the report, he scolded: "What a broken monk, he dared to open his mouth and talk nonsense at the gate of the political envoy's mansion, and he didn't get rid of him!" β
The servants did not dare to slack off, so they bluffed and scolded the monk and drove them away.
Naturally, this matter did not reach the Chu family, and I thought it was just a boring episode, and the Qi Mansion didn't pay attention to it.
Who knew that after two days, Qi Zhen's wound that was about to heal turned out to be suppurated, and the wound that was already not small looked hideous, and even Qi Zhen had a high fever that did not go away, and people also talked nonsense.
The whole Qi Mansion was in a hurry, and invited the best doctor in the city, but they didn't see why, and only prescribed some internal medicine to reduce fever and external medicine to heal wounds. But it didn't work. Zeng's stayed in Qizhen's room every day, and he couldn't even drink saliva, and he was so haggard that he couldn't stand it.
Hearing that someone came to report that it was Chang's who brought Danyu to see Qi Zhen again, Zeng's suddenly remembered the monk's words, and he had a plan in his heart. got up and went out to greet Chang and Danyu, but under the pretext that Qi Zhen was asleep and not suitable to see people, he didn't let Chang and Danyu into the inner room.
Chang didn't think much about it, just thought that Qi Zhen's condition was not good and he didn't have the energy to meet customers. After a few words of concern, he left the supplements and medicinal herbs he brought and left.
As soon as Chang left, Zeng asked someone to lock all the things Chang brought into the warehouse, and asked someone to immediately look for the monk. (To be continued.) )
