Chapter 37: Divine Doctor Bai Ziyu
It would have been better not to mention the matter. When Qin Zhuoyan learned that her mother was so concerned about that ugly girl, the unhappiness that she had barely suppressed came out again.
"Go and tell Mother Duan that no one else needs to interfere in the matter between me and that ugly girl, and please don't interfere in the future."
Tan Zhuoyan was already being polite. If that person wasn't his mother, he could have said something even more unpleasant.
He wished to stay away from that ugly girl. The ugly girl was well-behaved at first, but was disturbed by her mother. If she took chicken feathers as a token of authority and stayed in the study room all day long, it would be better for her to die.
Mother Duan returned to Madam Hou and stammered before she said what Tan Zhuoyan had said.
"Did my son really say that?" Mrs. Hou was stunned. Qin Zhuoyan had never been disrespectful to her over the years.
Now, he actually spoke to her like this for a woman? Madam Hou found it hard to accept for a moment.
"The scribe who came out to reply did say so." Seeing the Marquis's unhappy expression, Madam Duan only dared to say that it was the scribe who relayed the words, and did not dare to say directly that it was the prince who said it himself.
Madam Hou took a deep breath, barely resisting the urge to throw things, and secretly made up her mind that she must find a chance to deal with that idiot! Otherwise, she would be lawless!
A few days later, an invitation came from the Duke Zhongqin's Mansion, inviting the marquis's wife to attend a flower-viewing banquet.
Liu Mingyue was also invited in the post, but Mrs. Hou did not tell Liu Mingyue about this.
When it comes to showing off in public, the Marquis's wife is very concerned about her appearance. Liu Mingyue is extremely ugly, and she doesn't want to bring an ugly daughter-in-law to the event and be laughed at.
"Madam, the invitation actually invited the Crown Prince's wife. If you go alone and the Duchess asks about it, what will you say?"
The high-ranking families in Beijing knew more or less about Liu Mingyue's substitutionary marriage.
The Duchess sent the invitation letter perhaps just for courtesy, but there is no guarantee that someone would be so tactless as to make a fuss about it.
The nanny helped the marquis' wife comb her hair. There was still some time before attending the banquet, so it was still in time to call the Crown Prince's wife.
"Just say that she is in poor health and needs to be recuperated in the mansion. It is inconvenient for her to go out. What else can they say?" The Marquis's wife gently stroked her bun and picked out an elegant and luxurious hairpin from the box and put it on.
The Marquis's wife felt it would be embarrassing to ask her to bring Liu Mingyue to the banquet, so she decided to go by herself.
The Marquis's Mansion still had some dignity. Even if those people wanted to make fun of her, would they dare to do it in front of her? The Marquis's wife ordered the butler to harness the carriage and took Mama Duan and several maids out of the mansion with a big scene.
Peanut, who had gone to the storeroom to get something, saw this and came back to tell Liu Mingyue: "Looking at the Marquise's attire and the number of servants she brought with her, the Marquise must be going to attend some banquet."
There was another half sentence that Peanut didn't say. When ordinary people attend banquets, they should bring their daughters-in-law. His master was the Crown Prince's Consort, so she should not be absent from any banquet.
"Just right." Liu Mingyue was not surprised. The Marquise's behavior this time was the same as in her previous life. In the three years of her previous life, she had not attended many banquets.
Peanut thought his master was angry and confused, so he asked, "What do you mean by just right?"
"It just so happens that I also need to go out. It's just a good thing that she doesn't take me with her, isn't it?" Liu Mingyue shrugged, not taking the Marquise's neglect seriously at all.
Half an hour later, Liu Mingyue, who was dressed in disguise, left the mansion through the corner gate. Since she had promised Chi Hongyuan, she had to find the genius doctor Bai Ziyu as soon as possible and ask him for help.
In her previous life, she always knew where Bai Ziyu would often appear, but at that time she was obsessed with gaining recognition from the Marquis' Mansion, and her mind was completely focused on the several masters of the Marquis' Mansion, which was very stressful.
Bai Ziyu was fond of drinking and would often go to a small restaurant in the capital to have a drink, leaving only when he had enough.
Liu Mingyue rode to the tavern where Bai Ziyu often appeared. The tavern was not large, but its decoration was unique, especially the plaque hanging on the door with the three words "Zuixianlou" inscribed on it, which was elegant and wild, and quite elegant.
"Boss? How come you have time to come here today?" The waiter who was serving customers at the door saw Liu Mingyue, his eyes lit up, and he hurried forward to take the horse.
"Well, I'm here just to meet a friend today. There's nothing else to do. You go and do your thing." Liu Mingyue handed the reins to the waiter, got off the horse, and quickly walked upstairs to the private room that Bai Ziyu often went to.
There was no one in the private room, and Liu Mingyue was not in a hurry. She asked the waiter to bring the best wine in the store and a few side dishes. She drank while listening to the storyteller downstairs telling stories while waiting.
Sure enough, in the afternoon, Liu Mingyue saw a familiar figure coming towards Zuixianlou. Liu Mingyue yawned, smiled and sat up straight. Bai Ziyu's personality was still the same.
This private room was reserved by Bai Ziyu, so no one else would come here except him. He went straight upstairs to the private room, opened the door, and suddenly saw a handsome man sitting in the room.
Bai Ziyu paused as he pushed the door open, then came to his senses, stepped into the room and gently closed the door.
"What a rare guest. How come Mr. Liu...Mr. Liu has time to come here to see me?" Bai Ziyu teased Liu Mingyue with a smile, but it was not difficult to see that he was still a little surprised to see Liu Mingyue here.
You have to know that Liu Mingyue had just married the prince of the Marquis's Mansion not long ago, and Bai Ziyu thought that the two of them would not see each other in the near future.
Bai Ziyu glanced at the table which contained his favorite fine wine and snacks to go with it and laughed, thinking that this was the 'Hongmen Banquet'.
Bai Ziyu didn't bother to be polite with Liu Mingyue. He sat down at the table and poured himself a glass of wine: "What's the matter?"
It must be an important matter that made Liu Mingyue come here to find him just a few days after her marriage. Bai Ziyu took a sip of wine and his eyes inadvertently swept to her abdomen. Liu Mingyue knew what he was thinking by the look in his eyes.
Liu Mingyue smiled helplessly: "Zi Yu misunderstood, I'm not doing this for that matter, but I hope you can do me a favor."
In her previous life, Liu Mingyue might have really done something like asking Bai Ziyu for a secret recipe for having a child.
Thinking of the things in her previous life, Liu Mingyue felt a little guilty. If it weren't for her, Bai Ziyu wouldn't have treated Tan Zhuoyan's leg, and he would never have been killed by Tan Zhuoyan to silence him.
It was normal for Bai Ziyu to think about this aspect because he saw that she had only been married for a few days and yet she came here in a hurry to wait for her.
"Oh? What help do you need?" Bai Ziyu drank the fine wine and secretly sighed that the wine brewed by this wine shop was incomparable to that found anywhere else.
"Two days ago, I designed to lure the ninth prince Chi Hongyuan from the palace to the Wei Temple to discuss a matter. The condition for me to ask him for help is to introduce you to him so that he can heal his mother, and you can also become his assistant in the future."
After saying this, Liu Mingyue felt that her method was a bit unfair to Bai Ziyu. After all, she did not ask Bai Ziyu's wishes.
"Is it him?" Bai Ziyu was a little surprised. He looked at Liu Mingyue with some surprise, surprised that she could get this connection. "Liu Suifeng, are you...really the person I know?"
