Chapter 127: The Hooked Fish
Xi Chuyu's words made Lord Xi unable to calm down for a long time.
He previously felt that Xi Qingyan must be the concubine who had been leaving the sky, but now, things have changed, and he has to make another plan.
Xi Chuyu's words can be regarded as a way out.
He couldn't put the future of the Xi family on Xi Qingyan alone.
Early the next morning.
After Lord Xi returned home from the court, he rarely took the initiative to go to Wutong Garden and met Xi Chuyu's mother and daughter.
"Master, master, why are you here?"
Zhao saw Lord Xi appear in Wutong Garden, and happily greeted him.
"Come on, hurry up and give the master the dragon well before the rain, the master likes to drink the dragon well before the rain the most!" Zhao asked the maid to pour tea, and she stepped forward to hold her husband's arm affectionately.
"Okay, don't prepare these things, I don't care about them."
Lord Xi stretched out his hand to stop the Zhao family.
"What about Chu Yu's kid?"
Zhao was very happy when he heard Lord Xi talking about his daughter Xi Chuyu, so he hurriedly pushed Xi Chuyu out.
"My daughter has seen Daddy."
Xi Chuyu obediently saluted to Lord Xi.
She knew very well that her father had come today because he had listened to what she said yesterday.
"Hmm."
Lord Xi looked at Xi Chuyu in front of him, although his youngest daughter is now inconvenient in her legs and feet, but she is still counted in the capital.
"Chu Yu, what your kid said yesterday, my father also thought about it carefully at night, and it is indeed a solution for the Xi family now."
Lord Xi thought about it for a long time, and he was also a little tempted by Xi Chuyu's proposal.
"Daddy, are you going to let my sister heal me when you come to Wutong Garden?"
Xi Chuyu was overjoyed.
In the past few months, she has been able to stay in bed because of her inconvenient legs and feet, and Xi Chuyu has already had enough of the days when life is worse than death.
Now that she has finally waited for her chance to be reborn, how can she not be happy?
"Gree......" Lord Xi hesitated a little for a while when he heard Xi Chuyu say this, "Actually, my father came today to tell you that I have found a few famous doctors in Kyoto for you, and let them treat you first, Chu Yu, you can rest assured that these people are also famous in Kyoto."
Lord Xi didn't agree to Xi Chuyu, because he knew that Xi Qingyan would never appear in Wutong Garden to treat Xi Chuyu's illness.
Xi Chuyu's body is now Xi Qingyan's hand in order to punish the Zhao family's mother and daughter, how could she help Xi Chuyu at this time?
"Daddy, don't you know that those doctors in Kyoto can't compare their medical skills with the divine doctor Gu at all!"
Xi Chuyu couldn't help but retort loudly.
During the time when she was targeted by Xi Qingyan and had to stay in bed, Xi Chuyu had tried a lot of methods, and she naturally invited those doctors in Kyoto to Wutong Garden to treat her.
But they are all quacks!
Xi Qingyan's hands and feet on her made Xi Chuyu helpless, if she was not desperate, she would not take the initiative to go to her father's courtyard and be willing to be a chess piece.
"Aren't you blaming me for being a father now? It's not that you don't know your sister's temper, at the beginning, if you and your mother didn't do things too well, your sister wouldn't be ruthless!"
Lord Xi hated it most of all when someone offended his authority.
He had only eaten the closed door to his eldest daughter yesterday, and now, this useless crippled little daughter dared to yell at him!
He is the head of the family of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites, how can he let others bully him?
"Master, you are angry, Chu Yu, she didn't mean to persecute you, Master, she just said it quickly because she was too anxious in her heart."
Zhao saw that Master Xi's words were displeased, and she hurriedly stepped forward to appease her.
Stay with this man
After so many years, the Zhao family has some understanding of Lord Xi's temperament.
She finally looked forward to him today, and she couldn't afford to fall short.
"Master, actually, what our daughter said is right, the matter between the eldest lady and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been in turmoil right now, and everyone knows that our eldest lady is not treated by His Royal Highness the Prince."
On the surface, the Zhao family comforted Lord Xi, but in fact, he secretly fanned the flames on the side.
"Although the eldest lady is the valley master of the Divine Medicine Valley, after this incident, I am afraid that no man in Kyoto will dare to approach her, and in the future, her marriage will also become a big problem."
"Master, think about it, who in this Kyoto would dare to marry the woman that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once liked?"
Zhao's words hit the bull's-eye.
Lord Xi stopped saying nothing when he heard this, but wandered vigorously in the Wutong Garden.
"Mother?"
Xi Chuyu saw that his father ignored their mother and daughter, so he quietly pulled her Zhao's sleeve.
"Daddy, what are you doing? Do I need to say anything more?"
"No!"
Zhao stretched out his hand to stop his daughter who was sitting in a wooden wheelchair, with a smug look in his eyebrows.
"Your father's heart has now been shaken by our words, and if you say anything in the past now, it will only backfire."
Her husband is an extremely selfish person, and not only that, but he is also small-minded and suspicious.
"There are some words that may be better for your father, Chu Yu, don't worry, your father will definitely not disappoint our mother and daughter, I promise you!"
Zhao is full of confidence.
However, her self-confidence was not unfounded, because Lord Xi was really like Zhao said, and went down to find Xi Qingyan that day.
"Qingyan, are you reading a medical book?"
Lord Xi looked at his daughter Xi Qingyan in the courtyard, and had nothing to say.
"Father, since you have come to Hanlian Garden, are you looking for something with me?" Xi Qingyan didn't want to be false with his father, so he directly opened the skylight and said something.
「……」
Lord Xi was said this by Xi Qingyan, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
"My father just wants to come and see you, Qingyan, your medical skills are already so good, why do you need to read medical books in this courtyard? According to the meaning of being a father, if you really don't have that much confidence in your medical skills, why don't you go to your sister's yard and treat her for her illness, so that you can also practice your hands?"
Lord Xi pondered his words for a long time, and finally said the purpose of his coming to Hanlian Garden.
"I don't have any sisters, I was the only daughter when my mother passed away, if you think that Xi Chuyu, who killed my mother, is also my sister, then isn't that too ridiculous?"
Xi retorted with a sneer.
"At the beginning, I investigated the truth about my mother's death, because I had to take into account the face of the Ministry of Rites, and did not send Xi Chuyu and her mother-in-law Zhao to the official mansion, which was already the biggest concession I could make.
Xi Qingyan didn't expect Xi Chuyu and Zhao's mother and daughter in Wutong Garden to have thoughts that they shouldn't have again.
And the father in front of her, as she imagined before, did not have any bottom line and principles.
"If my father thinks that my method is not good enough, then my daughter has no other way, so I will simply stab all the things that Aunt Zhao did back then to the Kyoto Prefecture?"
Xi lightly mocked his father and deliberately threatened him.
"Now, my reputation in Kyoto is completely ruined, if Aunt Xi Chuyu and Zhao are sent to the government, maybe the scandal they have done can overshadow my scandal."
"No!"
When Lord Xi heard Xi Qingyan say this, he hurriedly objected.
"Don't mention this matter for your father, light face, you will study your medical book in Hanlian Garden, for your father...... Remembering for the Father that he has other things to do
I'll go first."
Lord Xi was worried that Xi Qingyan would directly ignore the reputation of the Xi family because of his words, so he hurriedly left.
Xi Qingyan looked at his father's back, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
This man is really cold-blooded and ruthless.
Her mother did so many things for this family back then, and was finally killed by the Zhao family, but her father only had the face of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Mansion in his heart!
"Miss ......"
Chun Tao watched Xi Qingyan speechless from the side, and her eyes were full of distress.
The old man is really too much.
The first lady of Shangshu Mansion died because of the second lady's mother and daughter, and now, the lord is still thinking of forcing the eldest lady to save the second miss!
"I'm fine, Chun Tao, this kind of thing has not been done for more than a day or two, if I was sad every time I encountered it, I wouldn't be Xi Qingyan today."
Xi Qingyan had already lost the slightest hope for her father, Lord Xi.
Since a person who disappointed you so much did something expected, Xi Qingyan was no more sad.
"Chun Tao, I'm going to give you something to do."
"Yes, Miss, just tell me!"
Chun Tao saw that Xi Qingyan did not blindly indulge in the pain of the past, and her heart was happy.
"You go to the Divine Doctor's Pavilion in a while, give this letter to the steward of the Divine Doctor's Pavilion, and say that I asked him to fake a divine doctor with a higher reputation than me, remember, the sooner and the better this matter is done, the better it will be for my plan."
She had just rejected her father.
But this does not mean that Xi Chuyu's mother and daughter and Lord Xi will give up on continuing to treat Xi Chuyu's illness.
Since they haven't given up yet, she should help!
"Miss, I'm going to the Divine Doctor Pavilion!"
Chun Tao took Xi Qingyan's request to the Divine Medical Pavilion, and in the Hanlian Garden, Xi Qingyan continued to look through the medical books that had not yet been read.
She thought that there would be no other uninvited guests to disturb her today, but what she didn't expect was that after she had just turned a few pages of medical books, someone came to the door again.
This time, the person who came to the door was not her father, Lord Xi, but the fifth prince Su Chen'an.
"Miss, His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince has come to our Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites, and the lord asked us to invite the eldest lady to meet guests in the main hall."
The maid stood in the courtyard and said to Xi Qingyan.
Su Chen'an, you really found this place.
Xi sneered lightly.
She teamed up with Shu Lixiao to set up this game, just to see who would rush into the game in the end.
They thought that Su Chen'an would make a move at the beginning, but Xi Qingyan didn't expect that Su Chen'an would come so early.
"Okay, go tell your father, I'll be there shortly."
Xi Qingyan put down the medical book and ordered to exit.
She wants to take a good look at what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of the five princes!
After Xi Qingyan dressed up, he took the maid in his courtyard to the main hall.
"I've seen the Five Princes."
"The eldest lady doesn't have to be polite, I came here today, and this king still has something to ask the eldest lady for help, I hope the eldest lady will not refuse."
As soon as Su Chen'an saw Xi Qingyan appear, he smiled and spoke.
"I didn't expect that I would be able to help the five princes, this is really an honor." Xi responded politely.
"Actually, my mother Concubine Jiang is sick, and the imperial doctor in the palace doesn't have a good way, so I thought of coming to the eldest lady for help."
