Before leaving, Jiang Qingyao asked her aunt and learned that her mother had been obsessed with medicine since she was a child. When she was eighteen, she went to Lingxi Mountain to study medicine for a year.
The letter my mother sent back said that she had become a disciple of a reclusive master in Lingxi Mountain, and would definitely achieve something great after returning from her studies.
She also mentioned that her senior who studied medicine with her was very kind to her.
There was no further news and the Xue family didn't know much.
Jiang Qingyao guessed that the reclusive master might not allow his disciple to reveal it, otherwise his mother would not have used the pseudonym Yunyu in Lingxi Mountain.
I'm afraid even her biological father may not know her mother's true identity.
Her aunt told her that her mother returned at the age of nineteen, hastily married Jiang Yisong, and died after giving birth to her.
Jiang Qingyao thought that Jiang Yisong probably didn't know that she was not his biological daughter. Given his narrow mind and temper, if he knew, he would have killed her long ago.
Not to mention Madam Jiang, she doesn't even care about her own granddaughters. She treats them like commodities, estimating their value and letting them pave the way for the two young masters.
Old Madam Jiang only cares about her grandson and doesn't care about the life or death of her granddaughters at all.
If Old Madam Jiang had known earlier that she was not her biological daughter, she would probably not have lived to see her first birthday.
When Jiang Qingyao learned that she was not the daughter of the Jiang family, she was not sad at all, but instead breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed as if all the grievances, sadness and disappointment from all these years had found an outlet.
Since they are not her biological children, the Jiang family is not her closest relatives.
It is more comforting to be tortured by strangers who have no connection with you than to be treated harshly or even killed by your closest relatives.
At least she could tell herself generously that they were not her relatives, and there was nothing to be sad about if they treated her badly. She could just fight back.
From then on, she would no longer have any scruples.
This time, Jiang Qingyao only brought three maids and Ma Liu, and they traveled to all the nearby villages.
One of the old village chiefs pondered for a moment and said, "I remember that more than ten years ago there was indeed a doctor in the mountain who took in two apprentices, one male and one female."
"The man's name is Doctor Xiao Xie, and the woman's name is Doctor Yun Yu. They have a very good relationship."
"Doctor Yunyu?" Jiang Qingyao's eyes lit up. That was her mother's pseudonym.
The old village chief nodded, "Yes."
Jiang Qingyao asked anxiously, "Village Chief, do you know the name of that young Doctor Xie? Where is he from?"
The old village chief shook his head. "I don't know. He never reveals his name, so everyone just calls him Doctor Xie."
"Oh, right. The doctor's name was Lao Gu. He was a traveling doctor with an eccentric personality. His medical skills were amazing. At that time, anyone who was sick would go to the mountains to see him."
I don’t know if it will be useful to Jiang Qingyao, the old village chief just said whatever he thought.
"Thank you." Jiang Qingyao's eyes darkened and she continued to inquire.
"Old Gu..."
She thought to herself that since he practiced medicine in secret and his mother said he was a hidden master, he must not be a simple person.
After walking a short distance, Jiang Qingyao immediately turned back and asked the old village chief, "Is Doctor Gu wearing a black headband?"
The old village chief's eyes widened: "How did you know?!"
"Yes, he always wears the black headband and never takes it off."
Jiang Qingyao's heartbeat in her chest was a little faster.
She knew who Lao Gu was.
——The Medical Saint Xiao Wuhuo.
He is also known as a master of men's health.
In her previous life, in order to cure He Huaixuan, she secretly sent people to look for him, but the Medical Saint's whereabouts were erratic and they could not find him at all.
She just remembered that the Medical Saint once worked as a traveling doctor near Yanzhi Mountain, which was near Lingxi Mountain, so she tentatively asked the village chief.
I didn’t expect that the Lao Gu he mentioned was really the Medical Saint.
If we find Xiao Wuhuo, we might be able to find out why her mother was poisoned and learn more about her biological father.
Maybe Marquis Anguo also needs him. As soon as this thought arose, Jiang Qingyao suppressed it.
It is better to wait for Marquis Anguo to come back and listen to his thoughts. Don't offend him.
Jiang Qingyao and the others asked some more people, and one of them, an old woman, said, "My son's broken leg was fixed by Doctor Xie. I heard Doctor Xie mention that his hometown is in Runan."
"Doctor Xie treats people with such gentleness and kindness. I think only a large family can cultivate such a temperament."
Jiang Qingyao was slightly stunned.
The people from Runan...are they the Runan Xie family, the most prominent noble family in Daxia?!
The Xie family of Runan is very famous. Their ancestors once shared power with the founding emperor and were one of the top aristocratic families.
Members of the Xie clan have served as officials and ministers, and their family is deeply rooted and has countless disciples.
Regardless of whether his biological father was from the first aristocratic family of Runan, Xie, this trip was quite rewarding anyway.
Jiang Qingyao planned to go back to Beijing first and ask her cousin to send someone to inquire about the news. They traveled all over the country and knew people from all over the country, so they were well-informed.
Everything went smoothly on this trip. On the way back, Jiang Qingyao leaned against the carriage and murmured, "Is the Marquis of Anguo received the amulet I sent?"
She also marked it, a unique amulet in the world, and he would understand it when he saw it.
Zhitao smiled and said, "My Lord will be happy to receive it."
Jiang Qingyao nodded slightly, but when she thought of the peach blossom pastry, she became unsure again. After all, he would accept anything she gave him.
Thinking of this, she was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyelids.
In a daze, I felt the carriage shaking.
"Miss, wake up quickly, something terrible has happened!"
Jiang Qingyao woke up suddenly and found that a group of men in black had suddenly appeared outside and were rushing towards her from all directions.
"Capture Jiang Qingyao alive!" The leader was a woman with exceptionally deep and three-dimensional facial features, who didn't look like a Da Xia person.
She also had a stilted accent.
People from the Northern Desert!
Jiang Qingyao reacted immediately and jumped out of the carriage with her maid. "It's a spy from Beimo. Run!"
Ma Liu shouted, "Miss, run quickly. I'll cover your retreat."
After a moment of silence, Jiang Qingyao pulled him aside and said, "Why are you the only one who can stop me? You're almost going to die."
"Run together, this is an order."
She didn't need anyone else to die for her, a meaningless sacrifice.
Besides, they are not without hope of survival, they still have the secret guards arranged by Marquis Anguo.
As soon as the thought came to mind, more than ten people appeared silently.
"Protect the lady!" the leader shouted.
The word "Madam" almost made Jiang Qingyao stagger. She hadn't even married yet, and she was already being called Madam?
I don’t know what Marquis Anguo told them.
In the blink of an eye, two teams emerged from different directions. One team shouted "Protect Miss Jiang", and the other team was much quieter. Without saying anything, they directly engaged in battle with the Beimo spies.
"What's going on? How can there be three forces?!" The Beimo woman was stunned and showed an expression of disbelief.
They thought it would be easy to capture a woman, but they didn't expect... there were so many secret guards protecting her.
Her importance is deeper than you can imagine!
"Catch her at all costs!"
"We can't let her get away!"
The people of Beimo became more determined to capture Jiang Qingyao and immediately sent out a signal flare to summon all the hidden chess pieces lurking in Daxia.
Catch her, catch An Guohou's weak spot.
