Chapter 79: What betrothal gift?
"I am in very good health, so I don't need her prescription!"
Didn't this quack doctor imply that she was able to live until now only because of Su Tan?
Pooh!
Her son is the General Zhenbei.
She is extremely blessed. Even if she hadn't met Su Tan, her illness could have been cured without medicine!
It was just that Su Tan took advantage of her son and her, but now people are making people feel that they owe Su Tan something.
What nonsense!
Su Tan had expected this reaction from Old Madam Song.
Her eyes fell on Old Madam Song.
There was a faint aura of death lingering between the other person's brows.
Old Madam Song doesn't have much time left.
If you take good care of yourself, you can last for three years at most.
But if it's like today, I would get angry easily.
The result is predictable.
The court doctor didn't expect that Old Madam Song would be so unreasonable. He immediately snorted coldly and didn't even give her any face.
"Old Madam, it's up to you whether you want to eat it or not. I'm not conceited. If I feel that only the medicine in this prescription can cure you, then no one in this capital can prescribe a second prescription more suitable than this!"
"Oh, if the old lady could invite the legendary doctor Wangyou, perhaps things could turn around."
But the magical doctor Wangyou has always been elusive.
For so many years, no one even knew whether she was a man or a woman.
Because every time this forgetful doctor appears, he wears a mask. Today he wears men's clothes, and tomorrow he wears women's clothes.
Still a teenager today.
I will be an old man tomorrow.
So far, no one knows who the Forget-Your-Sorrow Divine Doctor is.
When Princess Zhaoyang was seriously ill and the Crown Princess was giving birth, they were unable to invite the legendary doctor Wangyou.
What is the Song family?
“You…you…”
Old Madam Song was so angry that her face turned pale. She pointed at the pair tremblingly and said the word "you" several times.
Some people were just watching the fun and gave Old Madam Song a concerned look, but with mockery in their eyes.
"Old lady, you are already so old, please don't get angry anymore."
"The doctor at the Jian'an Marquis's Mansion is definitely much more skilled than the one you hired at the Zhenbei General's Mansion. Please listen to what he says."
"Didn't Miss Liu say that she treats you like her own mother? Could it be that she would be reluctant to spend money and not give you good medicine?"
Liu Qingyin's face was stiff.
She clenched her hands tightly under her sleeves, and it took a while before she managed a forced smile.
"Of course not."
Liu Qingyin could hear her heart bleeding, and she almost broke a nail. "It's worth spending any amount of money on Aunt Song, as long as she is healthy."
"However, whether this prescription is really suitable for Aunt Song or not, we can't just listen to the court doctor's opinion."
After hearing this, someone smiled and joked, "Oh, maybe Miss Liu is really attentive. It's true that you should compare prices before buying anything, let alone seeking medical advice."
"Fortunately, we all know that Miss Liu is considerate, otherwise we would misunderstand that Miss Liu is reluctant to spend the money."
"How could that be?" Su Tan raised his eyebrows at this time, his tone clear and his expression even very gentle, "Miss Liu is not that kind of person."
"What's more, Old Madam Song has been looking forward to marrying Miss Liu for a long time. I think this betrothal gift will definitely not be unfair to Miss Liu."
"Miss Liu also has her own dowry. I think she will definitely not be stingy with money. Naturally, the same goes for Old Madam Song. The betrothal gift she gives will not be unfair to Miss Liu."
As soon as the word "bride price" was mentioned, everyone's expressions became a little strange.
For no other reason.
When Su Tan married into the Song family, Song Tingchen was penniless and the family couldn't even afford to eat. Where would they get the money to buy the betrothal gifts?
When Su Tan married into the Song family, she was completely helping to alleviate poverty.
At that time, it wasn't that no one ridiculed Su Tan about this matter.
But Su Tan said that life doesn’t have to be so particular. Whether it’s her money or Song Tingchen’s money, it’s all for the entire Song family.
That being said, it couldn't hide the fact that Song Tingchen didn't spend a penny to marry her.
When Old Madam Song heard the word "bride price", her expression suddenly froze.
What betrothal gift?
When Tingchen married Su Tan, he didn't have to spend a penny, and Su Tan even brought her own dowry when she married into the family.
When it came to Liu Qingyin, Old Lady Song no longer required her to bring as much dowry as Su Tan.
After all, Liu Qingyin's status is still not as good as Su Tan's.
She doesn't have that much money.
But the betrothal gift?
Old Madam Song's face suddenly turned dark.
Liu Qingyin almost broke her nails.
There was a thick mist in her eyes.
If I marry Song Tingchen without even a betrothal gift, won’t I be laughed at by everyone?
No matter how stupid she was, she knew that a betrothal gift was essential, otherwise she would be looked down upon.
But looking at Old Madam Song's expression, Liu Qingyin suppressed the pain in her heart and forced a smile. She said to Old Madam Song, "Aunt, I don't want any betrothal gifts. They are all empty. I just want you to live your life well."
These words were actually almost the same as what Su Tan said at the beginning.
Logically speaking, if Old Madam Song was knowledgeable and sensible, after hearing what Liu Qingyin said, she would say that she would never treat Liu Qingyin unfairly, even if it was to slap Su Tan in the face.
But when Mrs. Song heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on her face.
"Qingyin, I knew you were sensible."
"You are different from others. This life is truly our own. It has nothing to do with others. This betrothal gift is truly empty and unimportant."
