Chapter 52 The threat from the prince's cousin is really scary

Exchange three wishes for gold, silver, jewelry, wealth and glory.

This is becoming more and more interesting.

"Okay, I promise you." Xie Lingyun raised his chin slightly, his expression unclear. "Cousin, you'd better use all your skills to cure her, otherwise I will kill you with a knife."

Jiang Qingyue seemed to smile and murmured, "The threats from my cousin, the prince, are really scary."

Xie Lingyun's handsome face darkened, his eyes filled with anger.

"Okay." Jiang Qingyue bowed and said happily, "I will come back to see this girl in three days."

Leaving these words behind, Jiang Qingyue walked out of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion with light steps.

The palace has high walls and red tiles, and the nobles inside are high and mighty, looking down on the common people like ants.

But Xie Lingyun of the Xie family was not afraid. Behind him stood the glorious military achievements of his clansmen, and the tip of his own sword was stained with the blood of countless enemies. He rode his golden sword and horse through the flesh of the barbarians, and fought his way out as a young general.

He is notoriously unruly, and the princes and princesses all depend on whether he is willing to give them face.

With such a person as her backer, she would be more confident when she finds an opportunity to enter the palace to investigate the disappearance of her senior sister.

…

As soon as she returned to the Jiang family, Jiang Qingyue heard that Jiang Mingyang and the servant Maoyuan had been beaten.

Jiang Qingyue curled the corners of her lips.

Jiang Mingyang deliberately sowed discord, and he was the one who caused unrest in the family.

The little maid who came to deliver the letter was named Han Shuang. She was good friends with Que'er and was a maid in the backyard.

Han Shuang carefully looked around, then whispered to Jiang Qingyue, "The master has already stopped Madam from managing the household and has taken away all the keys to the storehouse. It was only after the Second Miss went to plead for mercy that the master rescinded his decision.

But the Third Young Master was still severely punished."

Jiang Qingyue nodded and took out a few taels of silver as a reward to her.

Han Shuang took the reward money, then her eyes turned red and she stood there, wanting to say something but hesitant.

Jiang Qingyue: "What happened?"

As she spoke, Han Shuang's voice choked with sobs, "Please, Third Miss, save Que'er."

Jiang Qingyue's eyes were filled with anxiety and she stood up suddenly. "What happened to Que'er?"

Han Shuang hurriedly explained the whole story.

In the afternoon, I heard that the second young lady had lost a pair of shoes, but they were found on Que'er.

The lady punished Que'er.

"Que'er is still standing in the backyard as punishment. When I left, I saw that Que'er's face was extremely pale and she couldn't even stand steadily. In this cold winter, staying overnight would really freeze someone to death."

In a moment, Jiang Qingyue rushed out.

When she arrived, Jiang Qingyue saw that Que'er's face was pale and the embroidered shoes on her feet were stained with blood and soaked into the stone slabs.

Jiang Qingyue was so angry that she was shaking all over and ran over to catch her.

"Miss...you're back."

The bird was as thin as a gossamer and its body was cold to the touch.

Jiang Qingyue looked towards Haitang Garden, the anger in her heart was even worse than the weather.

"Hold on, I will make Jiang Guiyu pay you back tenfold for this."

After saying that, Jiang Qingyue asked Han Shuang to lend a hand, called a servant, and carried the man back.

I carefully put Que'er on the bed and saw the new shoes on her feet. The blood had already coagulated.

Jiang Qingyue gently took off her shoes and was shocked to see that the soles were covered with densely packed needles, which made her scalp tingle.

Que'er's feet were already bleeding and in a mess.

Que'er sat on the edge of the bed and quietly pulled the quilt to cover her feet.

Jiang Qingyue pulled back the quilt and pulled her feet over.

"Miss, it's dirty!"

Que'er wanted to retract her feet, but Jiang Qingyue wouldn't let her.

Looking at the fine needle holes on the sole of Que'er's socks, Jiang Qingyue's heart ached a little.

No wonder the maid said that Que'er couldn't even stand steadily.

Jiang Qingyue was terrifyingly calm at this moment.

He had been beaten and injured before, and Xie Lingyun asked someone to send him ointment, which could heal the injury.

Jiang Qingyue went back to her room to get the ointment, walked into the room and took off the new socks that Que'er had just put on, then applied the ointment with her fingers and gently rubbed it on her wound.

As soon as the cool ointment was applied, the burning and stinging sensation on the soles of my feet disappeared instantly.

Que'er wiped her tears and said, "Miss, I'm fine."

"You said it was okay. If you didn't apply the medicine, both your feet would be useless."

Que'er was so scared that her face turned pale.

She doesn't want to become disabled, she still has to serve the young lady.

Jiang Qingyue applied the medicine to Que'er before picking up the shoes again.

Seeing her reaching out to take out the needle, Que'er said anxiously, "Miss, don't touch it. Be careful not to get hurt."

But as he spoke, Jiang Qingyue had already taken the needle out of the sole of his shoe.

It was just an ordinary embroidery needle, something that would hurt your finger for a long time if you pricked it, but half of it was stuck in the sole of the shoe.

Jiang Qingyue gently twisted the embroidery needle between her fingers. "Did Jiang Guiyu ask you to wear it?"

Que'er shook her head at first, but when she met Jiang Qingyue's gaze, she nodded.

"Well, the Second Young Lady lost a pair of shoes, and somehow they were found in my room. She said she didn't want anything that had been touched by a servant, and made me stand in the shoes as punishment. But I really didn't steal the Second Young Lady's shoes."

"Miss, Que'er swears to heaven."

Jiang Qingyue put the shoes away and said, "I know it's not you. You should have a good rest these few days. I don't need you to serve me anymore."

After returning to the room, Jiang Qingyue pulled out all the embroidery needles from the soles of her shoes. There were a total of sixteen needles in the two shoes.

She pursed her lips tightly, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.

Jiang Guiyu, this method is too shameful.

She called a maid in and asked her to buy a pair of shoes in the size that Jiang Guiyu could wear based on the new pair of shoes in front of her.

After buying the things, Jiang Qingyue took them to Mrs. Jiang's yard.

It just so happened that Jiang Guiyu made some sweets in his kitchen and brought them to Mr. and Mrs. Jiang.

When Mrs. Jiang heard the servant report that Jiang Qingyue was outside and wanted to see them, her face became unhappy.

She handed over the key to the warehouse, knowing that it was Jiang Mingyang who caused the trouble, but when she heard Jiang Qingyue's name, she couldn't help but blame Jiang Qingyue.

Because Jiang Shouye was present, he couldn't get angry, so he waved his hand and asked someone to invite Jiang Qingyue in.

The last one to arrive was Jiang Guiyu.

She coughed lightly several times, which made Mrs. Jiang very distressed.

After all, she was the daughter he had raised since she was a child. Seeing her in so much pain, Jiang Shouye also felt distressed.

Jiang Guiyu glanced outside the door and huddled weakly in Madam Jiang's arms. "Mother, I'm fine. I might have choked because of the cold."

As soon as Jiang Qingyue came in, Jiang Shouye said, "Guiyu's cough has come back, Qingyue, go take a look."

As Jiang Qingyue entered the room, she looked up and saw the scene of three people being affectionate with each other.

Her biological mother hugged Jiang Guiyu with a concerned look on her face, as if she didn't know why she felt so distressed.

Her own daughter seemed like an outsider.

Jiang Qingyue remained calm and said calmly, "I heard that the palace doctor has the best insights and methods for treating coughs. That's why he was invited into the palace. Why not invite him to see the Second Young Miss?"

As the words changed, she sighed again.

"I can only treat some physical weakness and some minor injuries. My medical skills are superficial, and I really don't dare to be perfunctory with the Second Young Lady's illness."

Jiang Shouye could tell that she was unwilling to treat Jiang Guiyu, but Mrs. Jiang didn't think too much about it. She just anxiously asked someone to call the court doctor over.

While the court doctor was still not here, Jiang Qingyue said, "I've carefully considered your elder sister's condition over the past few days. If you want her to get better as soon as possible, you need to use good medicinal herbs.

I have prepared a list of herbs, and I'd like to trouble you to buy them."

After saying that, she handed over what she had already written.

Jiang Shouye and his wife looked somewhat delighted.

This daughter has been brought home for so long, and she has always called them Master and Madam, but now she is finally willing to call them Dad and Mom?
