Fallen leaves fall with the arrival of autumn, and thin ice crystals hang on the branches.
Si Xi, who had changed into a quilted waistcoat, knocked on the door holding a porcelain bowl, "Miss, the tonic is ready."
With a creak, the door opened.
Two months have passed in a flash, and Su Man is now a completely different person from her former bloated self.
Although she is not as slender as the original Liu Man, she is at least a normal girl with a slightly plump figure.
Especially after taking tonics and nourishing medicinal baths during this period, her complexion was very good, except for the birthmark that covered half of her face which was too eye-catching.
Su Man took the tonic and stirred it a few times, "No one else has touched this medicine before."
Si Xi understood immediately, "No, Miss. Sister Cui Ping came over a few times, but I sent her away each time."
Su Man showed approval, "Well, well done."
...
Cuiping's sudden return to serve must be no good, so Su Man only let her do the rough work of sweeping outside, and let Si Xi do all the close work.
Although Cuiping kept complaining, Sixi was not a pushover. Together with Mother Liu, they suppressed her and prevented her from getting out of the situation.
Su Man finished her medicine and put the bowl on the tray.
Seeing that Si Xi didn't leave immediately, Su Man wiped the corner of her mouth with a silk handkerchief, "What's wrong?"
"Before, you asked me to find someone to investigate in the suburbs. I was afraid that there would be no guarantee, so I found my cousin who works at a farm in the suburbs. He sent someone to bring me a message this morning saying that there is some clue."
Su Man paused for a moment and casually placed the handkerchief on the table. "Have you found out anything?"
"My cousin said that the tomb of the second young lady's biological father was built by the master back then. It is renovated every year and no abnormalities have been found, but..." Si Xi hesitated to speak.
Su Man glanced at her and said, "You know, I like to speak my mind."
"yes."
Si Xi spoke more fluently. "My cousin said there's a small village near the grave of the second young lady's biological father. Strange things have been happening in that village recently. Many people say they've met a mountain god."
"Mountain God?"
Su Man raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure he's not some charlatan?"
"No, the villagers were afraid to say much when they mentioned this mountain god. It took my cousin a long time to find out just these few pieces of information."
Su Man understood that in this dynasty, people had an extreme reverence for ghosts and gods, which was incomparable to anything else.
She nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I'll find a reason to go and take a look."
"It's the end of the year, and it's the time to visit relatives and friends. Plus, the prince is about to come back. If you leave at this time, I'm afraid the master will scold you." Si Xi reminded.
Yes, Liu Man’s fiancé Fang Tianhe came back with a letter a few days ago, saying that he would be returning to the capital soon. At this time, Master Liu would never let her leave.
Thinking of Fang Tianhe's disgusted look when he saw Liu Man in his previous life, Su Man subconsciously touched her face, "You keep an eye on this matter first, and then go to the treasury to get some money to do a favor for your cousin, and try to get as much information as possible."
"I understand."
...
As he was speaking, someone knocked on the door.
Su Man thought it was Cuiping and gave Sixi a wink.
Si Xi understood and shouted, "Who's outside?"
"It's me."
A deep male voice sounded, it was Xu Yuan.
Su Man looked surprised. Xu Yuan always stayed in the kitchen and never came out. Why did he suddenly come here?
But she wanted to win him over, so she naturally wouldn't leave him alone, so she said, "Come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Yuan pushed the door open and walked in. He walked so fast that he tripped and looked more panicked than ever before.
As soon as he came in, he slid down and knelt on the ground, "Please help me, Miss."
Si Xi looked at Su Man's expression and went forward to help her. "Xu Xiao Ge, please get up first. How can you talk while kneeling like this?"
Xu Yuan's face was pale and he was confused when he was helped up.
He had looked much better these days at Su Man's place, and had even become somewhat more handsome. But now, his handsome face was filled with fear, and his voice trembled, "Miss, just now the neighbor sent someone to find me, saying that my mother is dying. Please, please..."
Xu Yuan's voice was choked with sobs and he couldn't continue.
He has been dependent on his mother for these years. In the early years, his mother worked several jobs to support the family, which ruined her health.
If it weren't for his mother's illness, he would never have taken the risk to become an apprentice in a clinic.
He came to Su Man now because he was desperate. He knew that he had been busy making medicine all this time and was indifferent to Su Man. Now he actually asked for help...
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan's heart sank before he even opened his mouth, and he couldn't say the words of pleading no matter what.
Then, a voice comparable to the sound of nature rang out, "Your body and hair are inherited from your parents. Your mother's illness is indeed a matter of utmost importance. Si Xi, quickly tell the coachman to harness the carriage. We will go directly to fetch the doctor."
“…”
Xu Yuan didn't react for a moment, but Sixi pushed him and said, "Brother Xu, what are you still standing there for? Let's go."
-
Everything happened so suddenly. Xu Yuan only reacted after getting on the carriage. He looked at Su Man, who was sitting opposite him and didn't even have time to change her clothes. His throat tightened, "Miss, you are so lightly dressed. You really shouldn't have taken this trip."
Su Man thought to herself, you silly boy, how can I move you enough to believe me if I don’t wear less?
Since ancient times, deep affection cannot be retained, only routines can win people's hearts.
She lifted the curtain, looked outside, and said casually, "I dare not neglect these doctors. We are at the clinic. Go and get them."
