Looking at the transfer record, Su Yujiao breathed a sigh of relief. More than 190,000 yuan was still a lot of money according to 2014 prices.
After receiving the money, Su Yujiao took a taxi straight to the largest medical equipment store in the area, where she bought all sorts of tools she needed, as well as a generator, wheelchair, crutches, plaster cast, medicine, and more.
Even with all that, she could only set up a very basic, simple operating room; she couldn't afford the high-precision equipment.
After Su Yujiao finished shopping, she went back and assembled the items. She then found an empty room and set up a makeshift operating room.
She felt it was more convenient this way, as she wouldn't have to move things around.
“Carry Peony over on a stretcher; there are some things I can’t move.”
"Be careful, be extremely careful not to touch her legs."
"yes."
When the Wei sisters arrived at the Jin family's residence, Mo Lingchen had already left, but he had left behind all of the Mo family's secret guards.
Seeing that Mo Lingchen wasn't with them, Su Yujiao asked in a low voice, "Did you two talk?"
Jin Mudan nodded: "Yes, he gave me some money, as... severance pay."
“He said he’s going to marry Princess Qinghe. The princess can’t tolerate any imperfections, so he won’t come looking for me again.”
"He gave me a sum of money as medical expenses and compensation."
Seeing Jin Mudan's sad and disappointed expression, Su Yujiao didn't say anything more. She could tell that Jin Mudan had feelings for Mo Lingchen.
However, she always knew that Mo Lingchen couldn't give her anything, so she was more likely to accept reality.
"Let's not talk about him anymore, let's focus on his treatment first, nothing else matters."
Su Yujiao first arranged a room for Jin Mudan as a ward, then gave her painkillers and swelling-reducing drugs. The surgery was scheduled for tomorrow.
After all, she was going to give Jin Mudan general anesthesia, and she needed to be fasting for general anesthesia, so preoperative preparation was still very necessary.
That night, Su Yujiao stayed with Jin Mudan all night, and arranged for her to have surgery early the next morning.
"My leg?" Jin Mudan asked in a panic as she looked at her leg, which was in a cast and was being hoisted high in the air.
"Don't worry, the treatment was very successful. You'll be able to get out of bed in three months."
"The plaster cast is used to immobilize your leg. You can't move it around, otherwise it will hinder bone healing."
"During your recovery period, you will need to eat, drink, and use the restroom in bed. I will arrange for someone to take care of you."
Speaking of this, Jin Mudan suddenly burst into tears, saying that Yanzi and Uncle Ya were harmed because of her.
Su Yujiao knew that she felt sad when she thought of those who had died.
"Don't think too much about it. Just live well, so as not to let their sacrifice go to waste."
"Those evil people will get their comeuppance one day."
The Prime Minister's Residence!
Mo Lingchen knelt upright in the study, allowing Prime Minister Mo to punish him according to family rules.
Will you marry me or not?
"It's your good fortune that the princess has taken a liking to you. How can you marry her or refuse her as you please?"
"Do you dare to disobey the imperial decree?"
Mo Lingchen's face was deathly pale, his gaze dark: "The imperial edict hasn't been issued yet."
"That happened in the last few days. Can't you understand what the Emperor means?"
"He wants you to spend more time with the princess. The emperor dotes on Princess Qinghe the most. If you dare to displease her, the Prime Minister's residence will not have a good time either."
Mo Lingchen remained defiant: "The Mo family's current situation has nothing to do with the princess."
"Everything the Mo family has is the result of generations of hard work and accumulation. Does that mean they can't survive without marrying a princess?"
"I refuse to believe that I can't support the Mo family if I don't marry the princess."
Prime Minister Mo was so angry that his forehead throbbed: "You wretched child, you were still trying to please the princess the other day, what's wrong with you today?"
"Is it because of that woman outside?"
"Let me tell you, even if you don't marry the princess, the Mo family will not tolerate her."
"She's a prostitute, how could she possibly be the mistress of my Mo family?"
"You may be shameless, but I am!!"
"I advise you to give up the idea of marrying her, or don't blame me for being rude to her."
Mo Lingchen glared at his father, his gaze cold and deep.
He displeased Princess Qinghe, but instead of confronting him, she went and broke Peony's leg.
He angered his father, who could do nothing to him but could easily kill Mudan.
Ha, it really does prove what Su Yujiao said: Peony has no power or influence, so anyone can step on her.
What's so great about Princess Qinghe? If she didn't have the emperor as her father, if she had a miserable life like Mudan, how could she have the right to bully others?
The man's eyes were gloomy. Even if you have a good life, you should cherish it. What does it matter if you're a princess? You still have to get married, have children, and become a man's plaything.
He wouldn't let this go so easily; Chu Qinghe would pay for Mudan's leg with her life.
“This matter has nothing to do with her, so please don’t take your anger out on her, Father.”
"I will go and apologize to the princess right away."
Prime Minister Mo looked at the compromise and forbearance in his son's eyes and sighed helplessly.
No one's life is smooth sailing; everyone has times when they feel helpless.
He was young once, and he loved passionately, but in the end, he married a woman of equal social standing and lived a mundane and uneventful life.
"Love is not worth mentioning to men."
"You'll understand your father's good intentions later."
"If we appease the princess, she might accept those other women."
"It's just a trinket, I'm sure the princess won't mind."
Mo Lingchen concealed the gloom in his eyes and humbly accepted the instruction: "Your son will remember your teachings, Father."
"Go and apply some medicine to prevent scarring and the princess from disliking you."
"yes."
Inside the palace, Chen Yunniang was inquiring about the scouts' reports.
"Third Prince... what's the situation with the Prince?"
"The prince just hit Princess Qinghe, and Princess Qinghe is indignant, saying that she only taught a prostitute a lesson, and it's not worth the prince making such a fuss."
Chen Yunniang frowned: "Is that prostitute the prince's favorite?"
"No, that prostitute is called Jin Mudan. She left the profession many years ago and is a woman kept by Mo Lingchen, the son of the Prime Minister."
"The prince wanted to win over the Prime Minister's family's influence, which is why he tried to match Princess Qinghe with the eldest son of the Mo family in front of the Emperor."
"After all, Princess Qinghe is also the daughter of Consort Jing. If she were to marry into the Prime Minister's family, the Prime Minister's family would definitely help the Prince."
"Who knew that the princess would get jealous and break Jin Mudan's leg? Now Mo Lingchen is making a fuss about canceling the engagement."
"The prince was angry that the princess ruined his plans because of her personal feelings for her children."
Chen Yunniang breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. She had thought that Chu Zhongyuan cared so much about women outside the home, but it turned out that this was the reason.
Princess Qinghe was indeed brainless; she was nothing more than a lowly prostitute, yet she was not worth lowering herself to personally teach her a lesson.
Jin Mudan, isn't she the Jin family's young lady who was close to Su Yujiao when they were children?
Jin Mudan looked down on her back then, but I never expected her to be in such a miserable state now.
Su Yujiao must be heartbroken now, right?
