After returning to the palace, the emperor scolded Su Nanting and drove him out of the palace.
Many people were watching and secretly inquired, and found out that it was the old lady of Marquis Anchang who pretended to be sick, so that Marquis Anchang could go to the palace to ask the emperor to grant the marriage and give Gu Yuanfang to the fourth prince as a concubine.
The Marquis of Anchang was a frontier official who guarded the northern gate. Although he was suppressed and attacked by the Northern Qi over the years, he still held on and was loyal to the emperor.
The emperor would not allow such an official to be involved with any prince, even a concubine.
Even though Marquis Anchang begged repeatedly and stayed in the palace for such a long time, the emperor did not agree. He said that how could the illegitimate daughter of a illegitimate son be worthy of the outstanding Fourth Prince, and drove Su Nanting out of the palace.
Everyone laughed at Su Nanting for having a good mother. She might feel uncomfortable if she didn't cause trouble for him for a day. Su Nanting was really a filial son.
The old lady stopped pretending to be sick when she heard the news, "Madam Wu, when did I ask the Marquis to come to the palace to ask for permission to marry?"
"Perhaps the Marquis loves the old lady and knows that you love Miss Gu, so he went to the palace to ask for permission to marry her. The Marquis must want the old lady to be happy. If he helps Miss Gu marry into the Fourth Prince's mansion and fulfills her wish, your illness will be cured."
Instead of being comforted, the old lady felt even more upset.
The old lady pretended to be sick whenever she was unhappy. Song and the four brothers could do nothing about her. The word "filial piety" suppressed them.
This was her own fault. The emperor's words must have greatly reduced his impression of her.
The old lady felt very upset and she would have to keep her head down when attending palace banquets from now on.
How can I go out from now on? I can only stay at home.
"The Marquis is here."
Su Nanting walked over to the bed, knelt down, and kowtowed three times. "Mother, I am unfilial and have failed to fulfill your wish. I am incompetent."
"If father were in the capital, he would definitely be able to get this done. Alas, my son is incompetent, please punish me, mother."
The old lady was so angry that she didn't want to speak. If the old marquis was in the capital, she would be miserable and might be sent back to her parents' home. When she heard Su Nanting mention the old marquis, she was frightened.
The man often had a cold face and a murderous aura from the battlefield, like a living devil.
Besides, she didn't dare cause trouble when the old marquis was at home.
The old lady could only say that she didn't mean that, but unfortunately Su Nanting didn't believe it. The old lady had to persuade Su Nanting to give up the idea of asking for permission.
The Marquis' Mansion has already become a laughing stock and cannot continue to make fun of it.
The old lady is very tired and can’t pretend to be sick easily in the future.
Su Nanting walked out of the old lady's yard with ease, and his mother could now completely put her mind at ease.
Gu Yuanfang's situation was not so easy. People in the capital laughed at her for wanting to eat swan flesh. She had no status and no brains, and she even flirted with the Fourth Prince. She deserved this fate.
The Duke of Dongping angrily rebuked the third son and asked them to reflect on themselves. All the other women in the Gu family who were supposed to get married were married, and those who were supposed to be engaged were engaged. Only the third son's illegitimate granddaughters were not engaged.
Gu Yuanfang's reputation was ruined, which directly affected the marriage of the third daughter.
Marquis Dongping sighed in his heart, thank goodness he listened to his nephew and divided the family property in advance. From then on, he no longer cared about the affairs of the three branches.
Gu Yuanfang was sent to a nunnery and was only allowed to take with her three maids and some spare clothes. She was to reflect on her actions there and was not allowed to leave the nunnery without permission.
The Gu family had completely given up on Gu Yuanfang, leaving her to fend for herself in the nunnery.
Gu Yuanfang's life fell from heaven to earth. He had no way to adapt to the life of seclusion and misery. He was unwilling to accept it and made a scene. He was only berated by the nuns inside and then he calmed down.
She secretly swore that she would not let her have the chance to leave, and she would make the Dongping Marquis Mansion and the Anchang Marquis Mansion look bad.
Unfortunately, the nunnery is heavily guarded, so she has no chance of escaping this year.
Chunhua Qiushi felt that he was so unlucky. Why did he follow such a master? He usually pretended to obey Gu Yuanfang but actually disobeyed him.
Xiao Cui is honest and still the same as before. Gu Yuanfang gratefully held Xiao Cui's hand and said, "Don't worry, I will have a chance to succeed and I will never treat you unfairly."
Xiao Cui said thank you, Miss, but she felt very happy in her heart. You made our family displaced and my brother suffer, now you are getting your retribution.
She was even more glad that she had let her parents take back all the monthly salary and rewards, otherwise she would not be able to take a single cent out.
When the eldest brother recovers from his injury and passes the martial arts exam next year, their family will be able to turn things around. Then they can take revenge if necessary and repay grievances if necessary.
Regarding the situation here, Su Nanting wrote a letter to Luer Town. Linlang was surprised that Gu Yuanfang took her to the nunnery.
All this is not a coincidence, but the result of the third and fourth brothers adding fuel to the fire.
Su Jinyao felt very sorry and said, "I haven't found any trace of Li Guangping's family. I will ask people to keep an eye on them."
"Thank you, Fourth Brother."
Su Jinyao didn't care, "We are family, your business is my business, if you have any problems, go to Fourth Brother."
Linlang smiled and nodded, "Okay."
Su Nanting did not tell anyone that the emperor was coming, for fear that the news would leak out on the way.
Now the four brothers of the Su family and Amu can’t just live in the cave, for fear of arousing suspicion, so they can only go out early and come back late.
The pharmaceutical workshop is progressing smoothly. After the medicine is processed, Linlang will prepare it personally.
Now that the affairs in the capital have been settled, we will wait for the Marquis to come back, and everything will proceed according to plan, with everyone doing their job.
Hu Shan's condition improved and she felt good. Song and Su Jinrui secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In the past few days, Linlang has seen several patients, all of whom were women, and they were treating gynecological diseases.
Hu Shan was curious. Every time she saw a patient, she stayed by Linlang's side. "When I get better, I will take you as my teacher and become a female doctor, saving the dying and the wounded and alleviating the patients' pain."
Linlang encouraged with a smile, "That's great, I'm waiting for you to become my disciple."
Hu Shan said firmly, "Don't worry, sister, I can definitely do it."
"come on."
The two of them chatted and laughed as they entered the town, where they were invited in by Doctor Wang.
It turned out that a young girl came to the clinic today. She had a large tumor on her neck, which seriously affected her face. She was twenty years old and still unmarried. She became an old maid and was laughed at by outsiders and disliked by her family.
The girl heard about Linlang's medical skills, so she secretly saved up a tael of silver and ran to Lu'er Town to ask Linlang for treatment.
Doctor Wang knew that Linlang was treating Amu's face, and since she was one of their own, she wouldn't charge him for it, but the girl didn't have enough money.
Doctor Wang said apologetically, "I just feel sorry for her. Can you take a look at her first to see if she can be cured?"
Linlang looked at the uneasy girl. Her clothes were patched up and so washed that the original color could not be seen, but they were clean and tidy.
A piece of cloth was tied around the neck to hide the tumor.
She nervously pinched the corner of her clothes, fearing that she would be rejected, with tears in her eyes.
Linlang said, "Come into the clinic. I'll take a look at you first. I can't make a decision on whether it can be cured until after the test."
The woman was so excited that she wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Linlang. Linlang asked Luhua to help her up and they went into the clinic together.
