Xiao Lingyu entered the Lu Mansion, and Xiao Xier rushed over with her short legs.
"Mother, how is it? Did the Cui family bully you?"
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "No, mother earned two thousand taels of silver today."
"Isn't it one thousand taels of silver? Is the old lady of the Cui family seriously ill?"
Su Ningan said, "No, today I not only saw Old Lady Cui, but also saw more than twenty aunts. The extra one thousand taels is their consultation fee."
"Oh, mother, you must be hungry. Let's go to the dining hall and have dinner. My elder sister and the others are already waiting there."
"Okay." When they arrived near the dining hall, Xiao Lingyu took off his veil.
When Simeng saw Xiao Lingyu's face clearly, she was amazed. No wonder she was the Princess Protector of the Country. She was so rich and powerful!
"Mrs. Su..." Simeng came forward, her tone extremely respectful. "How is it? Did Mrs. Cui not give you any trouble?"
Xiao Lingyu shook his head slightly. "The old lady of the Cui family is quite kind. She called many of her grandchildren's wives and great-grandchildren's wives to come and see the doctor..."
kind?
I’m afraid Madam Su has some misunderstanding!
Simeng said, "She just wants to have more great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren. She values the continuation of the family line more than anyone else... Well, let's not talk about her anymore. Let's go in and have dinner, and then we'll go to the Meng Mansion together."
"Mother." Xiao Xi'er shook Xiao Lingyu's arm and acted coquettishly, "We want to go with you to the Meng Mansion this time. You can't leave us at home."
"this……"
Simeng said, "Let the children go with them. I heard that Yunqian has recognized Jie and the others as his brothers. Let the children get to know them better, so that he won't be coaxed away by the Luo family's children again..."
"Okay, let's go together."
After lunch, Si Zhenye, Si Mengshi and the Su family rushed to the Meng Mansion.
"Dad, what did you say the Protector of the Country Princess would come to discuss with us later?"
Meng Hongru, the old patriarch of the Meng family, opened his slightly closed eyes and said, "The princess came to us simply because of the Xiao family's affairs. She wanted us to submit the evidence she received to the court to help her redress her name."
Meng Gaoyu, the second son of the Meng family, said, "Third sister said this matter concerns the future of our Meng family. It shouldn't be such a simple matter."
Meng Hongru said, "When the princess arrives, you'll know what kind of family the Su family is. The princess didn't run away, but chose to stay and became the adoptive mother of four children..."
"The Xiao family is a family of military commanders, so the princess is naturally adaptable. If she runs away, she is no longer a member of the Xiao family!"
Meng Hongru nodded: "You are right, the ancestors of the Xiao family are brave and good at fighting, and they can bend and stretch..."
Outside the gate of the Meng Mansion, Meng Zilu was holding Meng Yunqian's hand, looking forward to it.
"Dad, why haven't they come yet?"
Meng Zilu said: "Here they come, here they come, they come."
Meng Yunqian rushed over and said, "Big brother, second brother, you are finally here."
When Su Ningjie saw Meng Yunqian rushing towards him enthusiastically, he frowned slightly, as if their relationship was not that close.
"Hanyu, my eldest brother, third brother, and sister are visiting the Meng Mansion for the first time. Could you please take us around the Meng Mansion?"
"Uncle Meng, Third Brother."
At this time, Su Ningwen got off the carriage and called out softly.
When the Meng family father and son saw that he was wearing half a carved silver mask, a trace of regret flashed in their eyes.
I thought I could see his true face today, but he was actually wearing half a mask.
Meng Zilu stepped forward and took Su Ningwen's hand, "Children, do you want to see the foal?"
Su Ning'an asked, "Uncle Zilu, are you going to teach us how to ride horses?"
"So, do you want to learn?"
"think!"
Meng Zilu said, "Shall we go in quickly?"
"Children, be careful." Xiao Lingyu instructed.
Su Ningan said: "Mother, I'm here, nothing will happen."
Su Xingyi was worried. "Xiao Yu, I'm going to accompany the children. When you finish discussing important matters, come to the stables to find us."
Xiao Lingyu nodded, "Okay, then go ahead."
Afterwards, Xiao Lingyu followed Si Zhenye and Si Meng to Meng Hongru's courtyard.
"Master, Second Master, someone is coming."
The father and son of the Meng family quickly stood up, straightened their clothes, and left the study one after another.
"Dad, second brother, this is Madam Su."
"Meet Madam Su."
"Meet Madam Su."
The Meng family father and son all bowed to Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Lingyu was very surprised that they were so respectful to her.
Did they know her identity?
Xiao Lingyu quickly returned the greeting, "Master Meng, Second Master Meng, let's not delay any longer and go in to see the patient."
As soon as Xiao Lingyu sat down, the servants serving in the yard and study left one after another.
Only then did Xiao Lingyu take off his veil and reveal his true face to the Meng family.
This look and the aura surrounding her are definitely that of the Princess Protector of the Country.
Meng Hongru said, "Madam Su, if you have any important matters, please feel free to ask. As long as my Meng family can help, we will do our best to help you."
Xiao Lingyu said, "I came to your house under the pretext of seeing a doctor. I'll examine you carefully first, and then we can talk about anything else."
"Dad, Madam Su is a very skilled doctor. My eldest daughter-in-law is pregnant now. You will be able to hold your great-grandson in your arms in ten months."
Meng Gaoyu was surprised for a moment, "Third sister, is this true? Didn't you say a few days ago that you would wait until next year?"
Simeng said with a smile on her face, "It's true. I've been staying with A Yuan at the Lu Mansion all morning. It's all thanks to Madam Su."
Meng Gaoyu looked at Xiao Lingyu and said, "Madam Su, my father has many chronic illnesses. Please examine him carefully."
"Okay, let me take a closer look."
As he spoke, Meng Hongru placed a handkerchief on his wrist and said, "Madam Su, please take my pulse."
Xiao Lingyu used two fingers to check Meng Hongru's pulse through the handkerchief.
A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Lingyu prescribed a health-preserving prescription and a daily menu for Meng Hongru, and gave him a few precautions before going straight to the purpose of his visit today.
"Mr. Meng, we discovered Nan Kun's spies outside Huayang County a while ago."
Meng Hongru was shocked. "This was discovered before the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
"That's right. Every three years during the Mid-Autumn Festival, we open the border between Beiyi and Nankun for one day to exchange what we have. This Nankun spy appeared near Huayang County early on. He must have some ulterior motive..."
Xiao Lingyu paused. "I accidentally discovered that the workers at the Lu Family Iron Mine have been working all night for the past six years. Now that there's no fighting on the border, the iron ore the court wants is all the quota. Where did the extra iron ore go?"
Si Zhenye's face tensed. "Madam Su, you wouldn't believe that the Lu family is smuggling iron ore and selling it to the people of Nankun, would you? My son and A Yuan would never do such a thing!"
