In Heyun Courtyard, the old lady was lying on her back on a cushioned couch, thinking about something.
When she heard Mother Lu's voice in the yard, she began to cry out in pain.
Si Jinxing walked in, stood outside, frowned and said:
"Since you have the energy to groan, I think your dizziness isn't serious. Go ahead and do your work. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
This old lady is good at acting!
When Mother Lu saw this, she felt a little embarrassed. How could she not realize that the old lady was pretending, causing the second young lady to make this trip in vain?
When the old lady heard this, she sat up quickly and said in a sarcastic tone:
"Oh, after visiting your grandmother's house, have you forgotten whether your last name is Si or Lan?"
She had lived to an old age, but she had never heard of any rich girl, even a girl from an ordinary family, treating her grandmother like this!
Si Jinxing glanced at the old lady coldly and said:
"Then I change my last name?"
When the old lady heard this, she felt confused. Why was it so difficult to talk to this little girl?
If it were someone else, shouldn't they say at this moment that they must remember in the future that they are a member of the Si Mansion?
But she always has such a bad temper!
The old lady heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "I won't argue with her any more."
"You know, something went wrong with the rouge your third sister put on, and I'm afraid she'll have a scar on her face.
Since you are a skilled doctor and you are her sister, it should not be difficult for you to heal her face, right?"
Si Jinxing found it ridiculous when he heard this.
Why didn't the old lady find a doctor for her when her face was poisoned?
Now that Si Jinyun has taken over, should we treat her differently?
in addition.....
Was Si Junshan trying to save face or was he afraid that the old lady wouldn't be able to accept it, so he didn't tell her about Si Jinyun's life story?
Well, which man would be willing to tell others about his cheating?
"Sure, I'll see all patients who come with a consultation fee." Si Jinxing said casually across the bead curtain.
But the old lady frowned fiercely and asked:
"That's your own sister, and you're still charging her for her consultation?"
Si Jinxing did not get angry but laughed and said:
“My herbs weren’t blown here by the wind, so why shouldn’t I charge for consultation?
Besides, it’s not me who’s begging you to save her face, is it?
In that case, I will take my leave now!"
The old lady was so angry with her, but she was afraid that she would really leave.
Doctor Du had been called in to examine the third girl before, and his original words were:
The Third Miss's scar is too deep, and it is impossible for her to recover. If we can ask the Second Miss to help, there may be a chance of recovery!
"Okay, then let her go to you to treat her injuries." The old lady waved to Si Jinxing again, and seeing that she did not even enter the inner room, she said earnestly:
"Don't think grandma is nagging you. You are sisters after all. Who knows who will need help in the future. Let the past be the past!"
Si Jinxing didn't hear a word the old lady said, but she was deeply moved by the old lady herself.
She continued with tears in her eyes:
"Good boy, go and do your own thing. No matter where you go in the future, remember that the Si family is your backer! No one will dare to bully you easily!"
Si Jinxing didn't want to listen to her nonsense, so she only promised her that if Si Jinyun asked her to treat her face, she would treat her, and then turned and left Heyunyuan.
Mother Lu escorted them out of the courtyard, returned to the room, walked to the bed, and asked worriedly:
"Old lady, why did you pretend to be sick to deceive the second young lady?
If you take it seriously next time... Miss Second will be afraid of being deceived again and won't come to see you again. What should I do then?"
It would have been fine if Madam Lu hadn't mentioned it, but once she did, the old lady flew into a rage and said,
"She dares! That's treasonous!
In Longyin, such an unfilial daughter would be expelled from the family!
The Emperor only made her a county lady, and look at her arrogance, she's almost going to the sky!"
Upon hearing this, Mother Lu opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she held it back.
Second Miss, what are you afraid of? I'm afraid it will be too late for you to regret it by then!
There are a few types of people in this world whom you must never offend, and one of them is the doctor around you.
Her thoughts can decide whether you live or die!
Si Jinxing and the others got on the carriage. Seeing Zi Su frowning all the way, he couldn't help but ask:
"What happened? You look so worried."
Zi Su then whispered:
"Miss, I heard from Lu Zhu the other day that the old lady and the third young lady don't have a good relationship. Why would she ask you for her now?"
Upon hearing this, Si Jinxing put down the whip he was playing with, looked at Zi Su, thought for a moment, and said:
"So, there must be something fishy going on here."
Zi Su nodded and said, "When something is out of the ordinary, there must be something wrong."
Si Jinxing laughed and said, "You are quite clever, girl! Their little tricks can't be hidden from our Zi Su's sharp eyes!"
Zi Su said disapprovingly:
"Before, my parents were always bullied by my uncle's family and had seen a lot of their schemes."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhu couldn't help but ask, "Where is your father now? How did you and Mother Chen end up in the hands of human traffickers?"
When Zi Su heard this, she paused slightly and stared at the scenery receding outside the car window in a daze.
Just when Si Jinxing thought she didn't want to say anything, she heard her chuckle and said:
"Because my eldest uncle's family got into trouble, their property was confiscated and sold by the imperial court. My family was implicated and reduced to slavery. My father later fell seriously ill and died."
She spoke in a calm voice, without any emotional fluctuations, as if she was telling someone else's story.
Si Jinxing knew that there were some things that others could never empathize with. She patted Zi Su's hand and said:
“People should look forward and stay away from things that make us suffer.
Now, you and your mother can still be together happily, which is something that many people in this world cannot hope for."
When Zi Su heard this, she remembered that her daughter had lost her mother at the age of five. Although she had a biological father, he was useless.
When she thought about it this way, her young lady's life before was even worse than hers!
But the lady never complains about her fate or resigns herself to it. She will fight for what she wants on her own.
Yes!
No matter whether you get it or not, succeed or fail in the end, at the end of the day, you have tried your best to fight for it, and you will have no regrets!
Is this the meaning of life?
She took her young lady's hand and said with a smile:
"Miss, you are right. Zi Su still needs to earn more money from you so that she can lead her mother to a good life in the future!"
As the master and servant were talking, they arrived at Jining Hall on Dongping Street.
As soon as Si Jinxing got off the carriage, he saw two large pots outside the door of Jining Hall, and the rich aroma of rice wafted into his nose.
only......
She looked around and realized that there was not a single beggar-like person in simple clothes in any corner of the street!
Not to mention those Huaizhou people whose soles were worn out...
She frowned slightly. Why? Where had all those people gone?
