Chapter 500 Su Rongrong is Missing
Doctor Mu is not only a miraculous doctor that Qiao Qinghe brought back from Jiangnan, but now she is also the daughter-in-law of Qiao Qinghe's second sister-in-law's family.
In the past two days, news has spread that Dr. Mu has returned to the capital, but he hasn't been to his clinic to see patients, nor has he accepted any requests for medical treatment from various households. This is because the Qiao family is preparing for their wedding and wants to hold a wedding ceremony for their son and Dr. Mu.
For the time being, Dr. Mu will not be able to treat patients.
Jiang Hongling looked at Qiao Qinghe with pleading eyes.
Qiao Qinghe glanced at Min Pan'er, a flash of murderous intent in her eyes.
It was already merciful of her not to kill someone she wanted to get rid of immediately, yet she still wanted to use her connections to help Min Pan'er find a doctor to treat her leg.
Does she look like the kind of person who's overly kind without any moral compass?
"Madam..." Jiang Hongling pleaded again.
Min Pan'er spoke up at this moment, "Sister, my leg is fine. Let Old Madam Qiao ask Doctor Mu to take a look at you."
"It's not a good idea for you to keep coughing and feel weak like this."
Qiao Qinghe watched the two of them calmly; they really were sisters.
I just don't know how much of this sisterly affection is genuine and how much is fake.
“I can ask Doctor Mu to take a look at you. As for her,” Qiao Qinghe glanced at Min Pan’er and said coldly, “I don’t have amnesia, nor am I old enough to have dementia. I haven’t forgotten A-Jiu’s death so quickly.”
"Madam! You said you would grant me one request..."
“I already said it’s something I can do. I’m sorry, I can’t do your request. If you try to persuade me again, you don’t need to watch anymore.”
After saying that, Qiao Qinghe turned to leave.
But as soon as she lifted her foot, she suddenly realized something.
"Where is the Earl of Enping?"
She said she felt like she had forgotten something.
Su Rongrong said she would come and check on Jiang Hongling's condition, but she's been here for quite a while and still hasn't seen her.
Everyone was taken aback.
Little Qian said cautiously, "The Earl of Enping's wife has not come."
"Didn't come?" Qiao Qinghe frowned.
Where did Su Rongrong go during that half hour?
"They definitely didn't come," everyone agreed.
Qiao Qinghe was extremely puzzled. Su Rongrong had promised her something and wouldn't give up halfway.
Even if I have to leave temporarily, I can't leave without telling her.
So, what exactly happened to Su Rongrong?
Qiao Qinghe coldly swept her gaze across the room. The Lady of Annan, Madam Qian, and Min Pan'er, several people who harbored resentment towards her, were all suspects.
"It would be best if Lady Enping were alright, otherwise, the consequences would be far beyond what you can bear."
After saying that, he quickly left the room.
Li Jingyue glanced at the crowd and quickly followed them out.
"Madam, will something have happened to the Lady of Enping?"
Seeing that Qiao Qinghe's complexion was not good, Li Jingyue also became a little nervous.
Qiao Qinghe didn't have time to pay attention to Li Jingyue, and whispered to Zhuxi: "Go and search the Jiang residence thoroughly for me. I need to know where the Lady of Enping is."
"I'll only give you the time it takes to drink a cup of tea."
"Go."
Qiao Qinghe's tone was less like giving instructions and more like issuing a command, and one that left no room for refusal.
Zhu Xi had a feeling that if she hesitated again this time, Old Madam Qiao might not keep her around anymore.
Therefore, this time she did not hesitate and directly abandoned her duty to protect Qiao Qinghe's life, readily agreeing to leave to find Su Rongrong.
After Zhu Xi left, Qiao Qinghe instructed A Shuang, "Send someone else to the Enping Earl's residence to see if the person has returned."
"Yes." A Shuang quickly took a few steps away and instructed an old woman who was following her at a distance to go to the door and find the coachman and servant.
"Madam, what should we do now?" Li Jingyue looked at Qiao Qinghe somewhat at a loss. "Should we go back to watch the opera?"
"No, I'll wait for news here." Qiao Qinghe glanced at the room behind her with a gloomy expression.
It's best not to let her know what the person inside did to Su Rongrong.
"Grandma, let's go sit over there and wait."
After finishing her business, A-Shuang returned and pointed to a spot not far to the south of the side room, "When I came over, I saw a small pavilion over there."
Qiao Qinghe looked in the direction Ah Shuang pointed, and seeing that it wasn't far, she nodded in agreement.
Before long, the group entered the pavilion.
Seeing that Li Jingyue had also come over, Qiao Qinghe couldn't help but remind her, "Sixth Princess, you don't need to stay here with me. Judging by the time, you should be returning to the palace."
Li Jingyue shook her head. "I'm not in a hurry. It's rare for me to leave the palace, so please let me stay a little longer."
"Aren't you afraid of getting nagged by Consort Xian if you go back late?"
Li Jingyue covered her mouth with her hand and said slyly, "It was the Lady of Annan who invited me to leave the palace, and it was my mother who granted me permission to leave. If anyone is to blame, it's not me."
Qiao Qinghe nodded slightly, as long as she wasn't afraid of being punished.
She was worried about Su Rongrong's condition and had no mind to talk to Li Jingyue. She was just waiting anxiously.
Before a cup of tea had been brewed, Zhu Xi returned to report: "Madam, the person has been found."
Qiao Qinghe jumped to her feet, asking anxiously, "Is she alright?"
Zhu Xilian did not answer: "Madam Enping is fine. Her maid is watching over her."
Qiao Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that everyone is alright."
Seeing that Qiao Qinghe's mood had improved, Zhu Xi hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Madam, the matter is a bit tricky. I'm afraid you'll need to go over and see how to handle it."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Qinghe frowned immediately. "Something... has happened?"
Zhu Xi nodded, her expression somewhat complicated.
Li Jingyue, standing to the side, had a sparkle in her eyes, looking like she was waiting to watch the show unfold.
"Madam, may I come along?"
Qiao Qinghe looked at Li Jingyue at this moment and inexplicably felt a toothache.
Has the Sixth Princess completely abandoned her image as a sickly princess?
After thinking for a moment, Qiao Qinghe nodded, "Alright, let's go take a look together."
With Li Jingyue present, there is also a witness.
Soon, Zhu Xi led the group through a maze of turns to a small courtyard.
Zhu Xi knocked on the door three times, and the door was opened from the inside.
Qiao Qinghe recognized the person who opened the door immediately; it was Aqin, the little maid who knew martial arts and served Su Rongrong. Her name was even taken from Aqi's.
"Madam," Ah Qin quickly greeted.
Qiao Qinghe waved her hand, indicating that there was no need for formalities, and walked inside, asking, "Where is your mistress? What happened?"
Ah Qin glanced at Li Jingyue, who was standing next to Qiao Qinghe, and seeing that Qiao Qinghe did not react, she said, "Our lady is inside, still unconscious."
"Our lady was originally planning to visit Miss Jiang in the side room next to the theater, but she was summoned here by Miss Jiang's people halfway there."
Qiao Qinghe frowned slightly. Jiang Yingluo? What did she call Su Rongrong over for?
And Su Rongrong too? Jiang Yingluo called her over, and she came right away? Does she really have no sense of caution at all?
And how do Ah Qi and Ah Qin, who serve people closely, take care of them?
Qiao Qinghe had a lot of questions and grievances in her heart.
As they spoke, the group entered the house.
However, the moment Qiao Qinghe saw the scene inside the room, she was completely taken aback.
