Episode 47: Calculation
Yu Shengsheng shook her head.
Hao Mengye said to Jin Baobao, "Take your daughter in and ask the doctor to take a look."
Yu Shengsheng lowered her head and went in, followed by the doctor. Hao Mengye walked in while talking to his men about the affairs in the building.
After a while, wait for the doctor to come out and answer.
"How is it?" Hao Mengye took a break from his busy schedule without even raising his head.
"Replying to the commander-in-chief," the doctor sighed, "the girl's physique is a bit special. After eating the yellow fruit, her whole body will be covered with red spots, stinging and burning, and her throat will also be congested. This is particularly dangerous."
"If you eat any more, you might be in danger of choking. You have to be extra careful next time."
Hao Mengye looked up when he heard this: "Whole body?"
He only saw red spots on Yu Shengsheng's face, but it turned out that there were red spots all over her body?
"Exactly. Besides, her finger was also seriously injured. Her arm was seriously injured before, and she didn't rest well. It's a bit..."
The doctor carefully considered his words, and Hao Mengye asked directly: "Disabled?"
"Not really, I just can't lift heavy objects. I need to use less force. I need to keep warm in cold and rainy days..."
Hao Mengye frowned: "What's the difference between this and being useless? It just looks good?"
doctor:"……"
Seeing that he didn't say anything and didn't leave, Hao Mengye asked again: "Anything else?"
The doctor quickly said, "She has injured her fingers, so don't touch water for now. In short, she needs to rest her hands more in the next two days."
Hao Mengye became furious. He kept Yu Shengsheng just to repair the painting. Now that his hands needed more rest, how could he repair it?
Time is already pressing.
The doctor didn't even dare to breathe and quickly ran away after saying this.
After applying the medicine on her hands, Yu Shengsheng felt much better and walked to the table to pick up the pen.
Jin Baobao quickly dissuaded her: "Miss, you forgot what the doctor said just now, you need to take a good rest."
Yu Shengsheng smiled lightly: "I'm not that squeamish. When doctors talk about illnesses, they usually exaggerate the severity. It's okay."
Jin Baobao wanted to say something, but Yu Shengsheng said, "How about you help me grind some ink?"
"good."
Hao Mengye stopped at the door and looked inside through the gap.
It is said that looking at people through the crack of the door can make you look down on them. It is true. Hao Mengye found that she was incredibly thin, like a paper man.
She held the small tool, with her injured finger raised up, already bandaged, as thick as a radish.
I thought she would take the opportunity to rest, after all, the doctor had instructed her to do so, but she didn't.
I remembered that Jin Baobao said that Yu Shengsheng had many scars on his body - were they left when he was learning the rules in the other garden?
And they also call themselves slaves.
Even the maids around the queen dared to ridicule her.
Hao Mengye's eyes darkened slightly and he turned and left.
Yu Shengsheng really didn't take today's injury seriously. It was much better than she expected. If Hao Mengye hadn't been with her, she would probably have been hurt.
This time we had a close call, so I have to give something back.
The only thing we can do is to repair the painting as soon as possible.
…
Yu Shengsheng was at ease in Zhenqiaolou, but the atmosphere in the Su family was not very good, and they were not happy or excited about Su Huaishan's return.
Su Huaishan and Su Yanshu were in the old lady's courtyard. The old lady had a gloomy face and remained silent.
"If you ask me, why bother with her? She should just die there."
Su Huaishan was in a bad mood as soon as he opened his mouth. He had wanted Yu Shengsheng to die for a long time. When he wanted to bring her back, Su Huaishan disagreed.
Su Yanshu lowered his eyelashes to hide his displeasure: "Second Uncle, Shengsheng is also the blood of the Su family, and she is my biological sister. How can I watch her die without saving her?"
"Besides, she went to Zhenqiao Tower to save her eldest brother. If this gets out, won't others say that our Su family is ungrateful?"
Su Huaishan sneered: "Hmm? What kind of favor? Look at her, she has brought shame to our Su family! Now that she is of some use and can be exchanged for Ding Qin, she should repay the Su family's favor."
The old lady twirled her Buddhist beads and spoke slowly, "Alright, stop arguing. Second brother, you said she should die, so who will go to the marriage with the Kong family? Will your daughter go?"
Su Huaishan flatly refused: "No, that's not possible. She is my biological daughter."
"Isn't it over?" The old lady snorted. "You are too impulsive. You explode when this matter is mentioned. Shengsheng is useless and embarrassed. But if she can marry into the Nanshun Palace this time, our Su family will share the worries of the emperor and show our loyalty. Only then can we have peace."
"Your eldest brother has not been able to return to the capital in these years because the emperor is wary of us. Seizing this opportunity to ease the crisis is the most important thing right now."
Su Huaishan let out a heavy sigh: "What should we do now that Zhenqiao Tower won't let us go?"
The old lady turned to look at Su Yanshu and said, "You said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has sent someone to pick up Prince Kong?"
"That's right," Su Yanshu nodded.
The old lady hesitated for a moment and said, "How about this? You go there in person and give advice to Prince Kong and lend him a helping hand. Even if you can't help him much, at least you can let him see our Su family's attitude."
"Also, when he arrives in Beijing, there's no guarantee that he won't hear about Shengsheng's affairs. If you take the lead and establish good relations, things will be easier to handle."
"Even if he heard about it and didn't want to give her the position of Crown Prince's Consort, it would always be fine for her to be a concubine or a side concubine. In short, the position is not important. What's important is to give her to him."
Su Yanshu frowned slightly: "Grandmother, if it's not the position of the Crown Prince's Consort, then... Shengsheng is my biological sister after all, how can I send her away so hastily?"
The old lady was silent for a moment, and then she forced a smile on her face: "Yanshu, you have to prioritize things, do the best and prepare for the worst. Not to mention that you may not lose your position as the Crown Prince's Consort. Even if you do, you will be in the court in the future and you will be in a great position. How can her life be difficult?"
"On the contrary, even if she is the Crown Prince's consort, her life will not be easy if her family has no power to rely on."
Su Huaishan nodded: "Mother is right. Yanshu, why are you still dawdling? Go and report to the Crown Prince and leave immediately. Second uncle will lend you his guards!"
…
Yu Shengsheng was completely unaware of this and kept writing it down until dark, when the restored painting took shape.
"Miss, let's eat first."
When dinner was served, Jin Baobao carefully wiped her hands with a warm towel.
"Let me feed you."
Yu Shengsheng wanted to laugh again, but her nose felt sour again: "No, it's okay, you can eat with us."
Jin Baobao looked at her hands and was unhappy no matter what she ate.
"Golden Leopard," Hao Mengye suddenly called her outside the door.
Jin Baobao got up and went outside: "What's the matter?"
Hao Mengye whispered a few words, and Jin Baobao's eyes lit up: "Okay, I'll go."
Sitting back at the dining table, Jin Baobao suddenly felt hungry and kept serving food to Yu Shengsheng.
Yu Shengsheng felt that she was extremely lucky to have picked up this maid.
It would be even better if Grandma Wu was here at this time.
I thought of Qi Mubai again. I didn’t know how he was doing now. I wondered if he would be sad when he saw the letter.
Yu Shengsheng's emotions were mixed.
Jin Baobao rolled his eyes and said, "Miss, after dinner, you should go to bed early. The commander-in-chief said that you have an injury on your hand, so it's okay to rest for a night."
"I'll go help them with some work."
Yu Shengsheng became alert: "What kind of work?"
