Chapter 222 Visiting the Sick



Madam Peng Er Shao was very unhappy, but it was her idea to visit the patient, and it was not appropriate for her to lead everyone away immediately. She could only whisper to the people around her: "She is the youngest in the family and has been spoiled since she was a child. I have to inconvenience you all to wait for a while. Madam Yang San is a considerate person, so just consider it as a favor to her."

Everyone nodded, thinking that even if they hadn't said that, they would have to wait and see. What else could they do? Could they fight back against Miss Xu? She was a girl from the Xu family in Beijing, and she was about to marry into the Yin family in Huayin. Unless they didn't want to stay in this class, they would either meet Miss Xu herself or the Xu family's relatives. There was no need for them to upset Miss Xu over such a small matter.

Besides, they have the capital.

The young lady who was as rich as a peony was not angry. Not only was she not angry, she took a few steps forward with a smile and took the initiative to greet Miss Xu: "Miss Xu, my surname is Wu, and I am a girl from the Wu family in Huzhou. When I went to pay my respects to Mr. Pei, I learned that Mrs. Yang San was ill, so I came here with the second young lady of the Peng family. Speaking of which, our family and the Yang family are not strangers, my aunt's younger sister married into the Yang family. Speaking of which, I have to call Mrs. Yang San "Auntie!"

The Wu family wanted to whitewash themselves a few years ago, and gave a large amount of dowry to marry off their daughters. Of course, the most successful one was the eldest daughter who married into the Jiang family.

Miss Xu immediately understood who in the Yang family this aunt of Miss Wu's had married.

She couldn't help but glance at Miss Wu.

Anyone who can open his mouth and say that he came here with the second young lady of the Peng family and put the reputation of coming here without notice on the second young lady of the Peng family is probably not an easy person to deal with.

Looking at her cousin again, her expression looked a little ugly.

I guess you didn't expect Miss Wu to be so tough?

He really shot himself in the foot!

Miss Xu felt happy just thinking about it. She found Miss Wu much more pleasing to her eyes and her attitude became more enthusiastic. She said to Miss Wu with a smile, "What a coincidence!" Then she set her eyes on the strange woman who came with Miss Wu.

Miss Wu hurriedly introduced, "This is Miss Gu, a girl from the Gu family in Hangzhou. Her brother is the Lord Gu who is the official in the Censorate."

"Gu Chaoyang's sister?!" Miss Xu was a little surprised, but then she thought it made sense.

The Gu family and the Pei family had just gotten engaged, so they took this opportunity to meet and strengthen their relationship. Not only would Miss Gu come, but Pei Tong, the eldest son of the Pei family, would also appear at the lecture.

I just don't know whether Pei Tong looks like someone from the Pei family or the Yang family - both the Yang and Pei families have handsome men, but although the men from the Yang family have good-looking facial features, their temperament varies from person to person. The men from the Pei family, on the other hand, all have elegant temperaments like orchids and jade trees, which makes them more attractive.

She was thinking randomly in her mind, but she didn't show it on her face. She greeted Gu Xi with a smile.

Gu Xi glanced at Miss Wu and asked Miss Xu with a smile: "Do you know my brother?"

Miss Xu said: "Yin Mingyuan and your brother also have some personal relationship."

He is closer to Gu Xi than to Miss Wu.

Gu Xi smiled and greeted Yu Tang: "I didn't expect Miss Yu to be here too? You came here with the women of the Pei family, right? How is your Buddhist incense making going? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Yu Tang had not expected that Gu Xi would play with these girls from aristocratic families right after she arrived. She used to be very aloof and would not easily socialize with others. However, perhaps it was because in her previous life, the girls who wanted to socialize with her were all from the gentry families of Lin'an Township, unlike now, when all the girls were from the most affluent families in Jiangnan.

However, Gu Xi was still the same as before, liking to set traps for her whenever they met, as if he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't step on her under his feet.

After hearing what Gu Xi said, all the female guests present turned their eyes to Yu Tang.

The young ladies of the Song family probably knew the relatives of the Pei family very well and knew that Yu Tang was not a relative of the Pei family. In addition, the Song family had always been arrogant and did not care about what they said. One of the young ladies asked Gu Xi directly: "Which family is Miss Yu from? What about Buddhist incense? Could it be that Miss Yu was hired by the Pei family to make Buddhist incense?"

Gu Xi hurriedly smiled and said, "No, no." Then he told the whole story and casually revealed Yu Tang's background to the female relatives present.

Several young ladies from aristocratic families, including Mrs. Peng, looked at Yu Tang differently.

As if she was looking at the girls from the country families who depended on their family for survival, the young lady from the Peng family simply ignored Yu Tang and walked forward to greet Miss Xu.

Miss Xu looked at this and felt very uncomfortable.

I feel that Gu Xi is more famous than he is famous, and he doesn't have half the bearing and breadth of mind of Gu Chaoyang.

I don't know how he developed such a personality!

She simply took Yu Tang's arm and said to everyone, "Everyone, come in and sit down! It's not a good idea to stand here and talk."

Several young ladies and mistresses listened and laughed.

Everyone filed into the hall.

Miss Xu's maid brought in tea, and everyone sat down according to their status.

Yu Tang and Gu Xi happened to face each other.

Gu Xi felt upset just looking at it.

How come I can meet Miss Yu everywhere?

Yu Tang wasn't very happy either.

Why does she meet Gu Xi wherever she goes?

Gu Xi will marry to Lin'an in the future. It won't be like in her previous life, where she can't get rid of the ties with her, right?

The two of them looked at each other with disgust.

Especially Yu Tang, who thought that these people clearly looked down on her, and there was no need for her to humble herself and entertain them. She might never see them again in her life anyway. But if she left like this, it would only make her loved ones sad and her enemies happy. Why should she hold back to make others happy?

Yu Tang decided to stay here and do whatever he should do!

Miss Xu was still preparing to discuss Pei Yan's matter with Yu Tang, and just wanted to send these so-called visitors away as soon as possible, so she sat down and said unceremoniously: "The Third Madam just went to bed, let's not disturb her now. When she wakes up, I will tell her that everyone came to visit her."

They came here just to show off in front of Madam Yang San and get in touch with Xu Xuan. If they just left like this, wouldn't it be a waste of their trip? Would they have instigated Madam Peng Er for nothing?

The Sixth Miss of the Song family said, "It would be good if the Third Madam could rest. We can have a chat with Miss Xu."

The Seventh Young Lady of the Song Family asked, "Is the Third Madam feeling better? What did the doctor say? We brought some ready-made medicines and herbs with us. I'll ask the maid next to Grandmother to bring a prescription over later. See if there's anything you can use."

This is said very sincerely.

Miss Xu and the young lady of the Song family were not close friends, and she did not know the other person's personality. It was not appropriate to judge the other person's character after just one meeting. Since she was generally right, she treated her with more courtesy: "Thank you, Miss Seven. It's just a common cold. The doctor didn't prescribe any medicine, but just told me to drink more hot water and keep warm. Madam Three didn't sleep well last night, so she felt a little tired today, so she went to bed."

Everyone said they were lucky.

Since Gu Xi followed, she must want to make friends with Miss Xu, but she is smarter than Miss Song and knows that it is impossible for her to develop any personal relationship with Miss Xu in such a situation. It was also a coincidence that she was able to follow along. She met Miss Song on the way. Miss Song seemed to be very caring towards Mrs. Yang San. She would not be able to explain it if she did not come. Moreover, she also wanted to take this opportunity to find out what kind of person Miss Xu was.

It would be better if Yu Tang wasn't here.

She felt that she and Yu Tang had different auras and nothing good happened whenever they met.

Gu Xi frowned slightly, not even bothering to look at Yu Tang, and whispered to Miss Wu who was sitting next to her: "Should we leave first? This kind of noise is not conducive to Madam Yang San's recovery!"

Miss Wu also thought it would be a good idea to find another opportunity to visit Miss Xu and Mrs. Yang San in private. Bringing the two idiots from the Song family along would not only fail to accomplish anything, but she might also be yelled out by these two people and let others know the purpose of her coming to Lin'an.

"Then shall we go first?" she asked Gu Xi.

Gu Xi nodded.

Miss Wu stood up first and said with a smile, "In that case, we won't bother you anymore."

Madam Peng and the two young ladies of the Song family were all stunned.

It was Miss Wu's idea to come here to visit Mrs. Yang San. But before they could even say hello to Mrs. Yang San, she was leaving again... So what were they doing here, leaving behind a few old Ans?

Miss Song and Madam Peng II were both unwilling to leave.

Gu Xi stood up as well, and together with Miss Wu, they left together without forcing Miss Song and Madam Peng the Second Young Master. They made the excuse that they had a lot of things to do and would visit Madam Yang San when she was better.

Madam Peng and Miss Song were both very unhappy.

The Sixth Miss Song mocked Miss Wu without hiding her feelings: "She doesn't really want to marry into the Pei family, does she? She is usually so arrogant and looks down on everyone, but this time she and Miss Gu immediately became close friends. She, Wu Yinglan, is no different!"

Miss Xu couldn't help but exchange glances with Yu Tang.

When Miss Song Liu saw this, she became even more angry and said, "Sister Xu, don't disbelieve me. Before they came, their family sent someone to ask my grandmother to intercede for them, but my grandmother declined. Their Wu family is so proud of having a daughter marry into the Jiang family that they look down on others. If another girl marries into the Pei family, they will be so proud that they will be in high esteem!"

Miss Xu lowered her head.

I feel like the Song family must be very desperate to allow the sixth young lady to attend the seminar.

She tried hard not to laugh out loud and glanced at Yu Tang out of the corner of her eye.

Miss Xu then realized that Yu Tang had also lowered his head at some point, holding a teacup and pretending to drink tea, but the corners of his mouth were raised high and could not be smoothed down.

She couldn't help laughing out loud.

Miss Song Liu was stunned.

Madam Peng and the others also looked at her in confusion.

What a bunch of idiots!

Her cousin must have a grudge against the Peng family, which is why he married his daughter to the Peng family.

Miss Xu complained in her heart, then cleared her throat and said seriously, "The Wu family is too careless."

Miss Song Liu's face lit up with joy, and she said to Miss Song Qi, "Look, I'm not the only one who feels this way!"

Is this a ruthless act of harming sisters?

Miss Xu wanted to laugh again.

Miss Song Qi's face had turned a little blue, and she said in a stiff tone: "Stop talking. If Miss Wu really marries into the Pei family, how can we meet again in the future if you say this to her?"
