Chapter 61: The elixir is useless
Zhao Wanyue has always wanted to establish a connection between Su Bowen and the Tang family. After all, blood is thicker than water. If the old Taishi and his wife knew that their daughter still had a bloodline, how relieved they would be.
Although she said so, she had no idea at all. Although Taishi Tang spoke a fair word for Bowen in the court, it was only out of public interest.
Tang Yongning testified for Changhe, but he was well-educated.
The two families have not been in contact for decades, and her official identity is Liu's daughter-in-law. If she tries so hard, she may not even be able to enter the Taishi Mansion.
As the legitimate daughter of Jing'an Marquis Mansion, Zhao Wanyue has seen everything since she was a child, but this time, she was so flustered.
She changed her clothes one after another, but they were either too plain or too bright. She changed her jewelry one after another, but they were either too low-key or too ostentatious.
Lian Xuan joked, "Madam, I've never seen you so particular when I went to the palace to see the emperor and the empress."
Zhao Wanyue sighed and said, "What do you know? The old Grand Tutor is highly respected, and the old lady is also well-known. I have to be more cautious. Is Lingxi ready?"
Su Lingxi wore a light green silk dress with only a gold hairpin on her head, simple and quiet.
Zhao Wanyue nodded with satisfaction, "Our Lingxi has grown up!"
Su Lingxi had never seen her mother so cautious before. Through Xiaoxiao's thoughts, she had guessed the relationship between her family and the Tang family. It was no wonder that her mother was so cautious.
She took out a golden hairpin from the jewelry box and inserted it into her mother's temples, smiling: "This is very good, dignified and elegant!"
Zhao Wanyue was still a little worried: "Is it too ostentatious?"
"No, it's just right, mother. An ugly daughter-in-law always has to respect her parents-in-law. Besides, you are dignified, virtuous, gentle and elegant. There is nothing to be nervous about."
Zhao Wanyue always felt that her daughter seemed to have some implication, but she did not delve into it. She just smiled faintly: "You are just a talkative person."
Bai Zhi had already changed Su Xiaoxiao's clothes, and was now trying to tie her sparse hair into small buns.
Bai Zhi tied a red ribbon on her head and said, "Miss San, the Madam is very concerned about this visit. You have to behave yourself. When you come back, I will give you some meat and bones to chew."
[Mother is just worrying for nothing. She is afraid that she can't get into the gate of the Tang Mansion. The people from the Tang Mansion who came to invite her are on the way. Does this count as telepathy?]
Zhao Wanyue and Su Lingxi were puzzled when they heard this. How could the Tang Mansion invite her? Even if they came in person to ask for an audience, they might not be able to get in.
Just when they were doubtful, the doorman came to report that the Tang family's butler had come to visit.
Zhao Wanyue believed Xiaoxiao's words and took her two daughters to invite Tang Shun, the butler of the Tang Mansion, in.
Without waiting for Zhao Wanyue to say hello, the butler knelt down and said, "Madam Zhao, I know this is presumptuous, but in an emergency, please save my life!"
Zhao Wanyue was confused and hurriedly helped the man up and asked, "Butler Tang, why do you have to be so polite? Let's talk nicely."
Although it was presumptuous, Butler Tang didn't care about it and just said, "I came here to ask for medicine. My father accidentally fell yesterday and is still unconscious. The doctor said that he fell and The vital part, the meridians are broken, there is no way to save him.
I heard from the young master that the lady got a bottle of magic pills, which can cure injuries and cure diseases, comparable to miracle drugs, so we came to ask for it. I shouldn't have come as a servant, but the old master and the old lady were too sad and fell ill. The lady had to take care of the old man, so I had to make a trip. "
Hearing this news, Zhao Wanyue was shocked and asked, "Is Lord Tang injured?"
This Lord Tang is Bowen's uncle!
Although she was anxious, she could do nothing. How could she have any magic pills?
Su Lingxi understood. Xiaoxiao treated Su Changhe and Jixiang's injuries. She was afraid that Jixiang would think too much, so she gave Jixiang a black sesame pill.
Could the magic medicine that Butler Tang mentioned be the black sesame pill?
Zhao Wanyue was about to refuse, but was stopped by Su Lingxi. It depends on whether Xiaoxiao can do it.
Sure enough, she heard Su Xiaoxiao's inner voice: [According to calculations, my uncle is already on the verge of death. I'm afraid that my cousin will not be well after this scare. There is a life-saving magic medicine in the space of my bracelet, but how can I give it to mother?]
Zhao Wanyue was overjoyed when she heard it. She asked Butler Tang to wait for a while, and she carried Su Xiaoxiao and Su Lingxi back to the house together. She put Su Xiaoxiao on the bed and asked patiently: "Did you heal my brother and Jixiang's injuries?"
Su Xiaoxiao patted her chest and nodded proudly.
[Mother is so smart. She knew to find me. This saves a lot of trouble. Zhao
Wanyue then asked, "Can you cure Lord Tang's injury? He is a very important person to your father!" Although Xiaoxiao knew the relationship between the Tang family and her own family, Zhao Wanyue still asked only one question. Xiaoxiao was too smart and she had to be careful.
Su Xiaoxiao nodded again. [Mother is really smart. She has already found out that the Tang family is the family of father's maternal ancestors. Don't worry, I am here, and no one in the family can be left behind.
Zhao Wanyue was ashamed. If it weren't for Xiaoxiao, she would not know the dirty face of Liu even if she died, and how could she find relatives for her husband.
Zhao Wanyue coaxed him gently: "Then mother will take you to the Tang Mansion, you can treat Lord Tang?"
Su Xiaoxiao nodded again, but she was panicking in her heart [What are you waiting for, hurry up, it will be too late if you are late! ]
Zhao Wanyue and Su Lingxi dared not delay any longer, holding Su Xiaoxiao in their arms and got on the Tang family's carriage, and urged the carriage to go faster all the way. Tang Shun saw it and thought that this Su family's wife was really good. They were not relatives or friends, and they had no friendship, but she was so concerned. She was really more sensible than Liu.
The Tang Mansion was already in chaos. Tang Yanjun's pulse was weak, and he was only breathing in, not out. The imperial physician had already asked to prepare for his funeral. When Grand Tutor Tang and the old lady heard this, they both fainted without catching their breath. Tang Yongning was so anxious that he vomited blood and was sent back to the house. Only Tang Yanjun's wife Qi was left to take care of the family. If she hadn't been worried that no one would take care of the family, she would have fainted long ago.
As soon as Su Xiaoxiao entered the house, she saw that the Tang Mansion was shrouded in dark clouds. According to the script in the book, the existence of Grand Tutor Tang's family would hinder the plans of the male and female protagonists, so Tang Yanjun took away the Tang family's bloodline with him when he fell.
Su Xiaoxiao sneered: "My aunt was destined to be the plot of this life when she was born. You still want my ancestors to die in vain? No way." Su Xiaoxiao
waved her hand, and the smog on the roof dissipated. The sun shone on the roof, adding some vitality to the yard.
Tang Shun hurriedly passed on the message: "Madam, I have invited Madam Zhao for you!"
Zhao Wanyue and Su Lingxi saluted Qi: "Hello, Madam Qi!"
Mrs. Qi hurriedly returned the greeting and apologized, saying, "I am so abrupt that I asked you to come here in person. But now, I am afraid that even if I have the elixir, it will be useless." Mrs. Qi was anxious and did not notice that when she returned the greeting, Zhao Wanyue and her daughter bowed, which is a courtesy to the elders.
