Chapter 387 388. Damaging Reputation
Old Mrs. Ning was anxious. This old lady of the official family had only been in the job for a short time and had not enjoyed much happiness yet. She didn't want to be harmed by that vicious woman for no reason.
The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became. She no longer cared about maintaining her dignity and nervously grabbed the old doctor's hand, scaring him so much that he wanted to shake her hand off.
"Old lady, please respect yourself and don't touch me. This will damage my reputation."
The medicine boy at the side was also anxious. The master's wife had repeatedly told him to pay special attention to the master's separation of men and women. How could he explain it if he went back now?
Without thinking, he rushed forward and tried to pry Madam Ning's hands apart, "Don't touch my master, just grab my hand."
The old woman beside her was also confused. It was just a medical consultation, why was there such a fuss now?
"Nonsense," the old doctor shouted again, "Let go of your hands."
Old Madam Ning reluctantly let go of her hand and said, "Doctor, you must not have taken my pulse seriously. I feel uncomfortable all over."
"I only treat physical illnesses, not mental illnesses. I can't treat the symptoms you described. Please find someone else who can." The old doctor has encountered many people like this. He didn't even want to say polite words to her and directly ordered her to leave.
"Doctor, what I said is true, Xiao Wanyu, have you heard it?
That bitch poisoned her husband and mother-in-law, and was forced to enter my house to be my son's concubine. I have always looked down on her. Given that vicious woman's character, she must have harmed me.
Please help me take a closer look. If you find any problem, I will sue her at the government office."
Seeing the blind old woman gritting her teeth and looking so hideous, the medicine boy who was holding her hand was so scared that he hid behind the old doctor.
But when he thought of the gossip that the old lady had just revealed, the little medicine boy couldn't help but stick his head out curiously.
The old doctor was also a little surprised, but in fact he was also very curious about this case.
It should be not just him, all the doctors in Shangjing want to know.
He carefully felt the patient's pulse again, but finally shook his head and said, "I am not very knowledgeable and can't see what's wrong. How about you go somewhere else to have a look?"
Old Madam Ning's face turned pale. "This vicious woman is really powerful. So many doctors can't find out what's wrong with her."
The little medicine boy poked his head out and said, "I think you are a really interesting old woman. Instead of consulting so many doctors, you might as well just ask the daughter of the Xiao family. She will definitely know who gave you the medicine..."
The old doctor slapped him hard and said, "The kid is so talkative, don't bother with him."
Seeing that the little medicine boy wanted to say something, the old doctor glared at him and then he stopped talking.
Old Madam Ning seemed to be inspired and clapped her hands on her thighs, "Yes, I'll go find her."
Watching the old lady disappear like the wind, the old doctor, who had not yet recovered, said, "…With this body, if it is really poisoned, I would like to be poisoned as well."

Xiao Wanyu, who was sitting in prison, knew nothing about what was happening outside. She was brought in for interrogation again today. Although she was asked the same few questions over and over again, she was worried that if this continued, she would probably be tortured.
Now even she didn't know where Yu Xiaoju, who was locked up in the same cell with her, was being taken. Although she had been avoiding her in everything she did, she still felt uneasy.
She still doesn't understand why something that happened in the past was brought up again?
Thinking of the Gu couple who had been widely rumored before, she quickly shook her head. She had not appeared in front of Jin Qianqian before, so where could she check her background?
When she thought about how she had fallen to this state while the other party was still comfortably working as an official's wife, she felt a surge of resentment in her heart.
At this moment, she completely forgot about her current situation.
Unexpectedly, when meals were distributed at night, the old woman guarding the prison said something inexplicably, and it started with Gu Jin.
Xiao Wanyu immediately bit her lower lip. It all made sense. Even if it was for the Xiao family's reputation, her stepmother and stepsister had no motive to harm her, and the Ning family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not have such great power.
"What a Jin Qianqian! She harmed me to such an extent, and she even framed me again and again. This matter is not over yet."

Huang Mansion Backyard
"Has the message been delivered?" Xiao Shiyu asked without raising his head while copying the Huang family rules.
"You should know by now," the old woman at the side whispered.
"Well, in that case, you can leave. I will copy for a while by myself."
"yes."
After everyone left, Xiao Shiyu threw away the pen in her hand, and the girl next to her immediately walked up to take her place.
She looked up and saw that the girl's handwritten notes were exactly the same as hers. Then she nodded with satisfaction and sat aside to drink the bird's nest soup that had just been served.

Jin Qianqian didn't expect that Gu Lehuan would actually come to her for help.
"You want me to speak for you?" Jin Qianqian felt sick after hearing this. "I am your aunt, not a matchmaker."
Look back at the mirror carefully. She is obviously a beautiful and lovely girl, but what is this boy's look? He actually wants her to be a matchmaker.
"Aunt Seven, I really want to marry into Mr. Xu's family if I can..."
Jin Qianqian didn't want to hear this. "You should talk to your grandmother about these things. I can't make the decision for you."
"…I knew they wouldn't agree, so I thought about whether I could ask for their hand in marriage."
Jin Qianqian, "Then go and prepare it yourself. There are many matchmakers on the street. You can't let me, your aunt, take the initiative to come to your house, right?
If your parents blame me for this, I will be very wronged."
Gu Lehuan lowered his head and said, "If you can help to mediate, Mr. Xu will not refuse."
Jin Qianqian immediately sneered, "You don't dare to refuse?
Don't you use your brain to think about it? Can you live a comfortable life in the future if you marry a wife like this?"
"I will treat her well in the future..."
"Stop," Jin Qianqian could guess what he was going to say next, "You'd better not make such vague promises.
I have never heard a word that men's mouths are full of lies. You are young, but you have a lot of thoughts in your mind."
Gu Lehuan was anxious, and raised his hand to swear, "I said it from the bottom of my heart, if there is any falsehood..."
Jin Qianqian slammed the table and said, "You can't tell me these things. Don't think that you have learned the ways of those shrews in the market just because you have been in the market for a while. If swearing and swearing are useful, then what is the use of the government?
Even if you like Mr. Xu, you shouldn't act like this.
If you still don't understand, go ask your fourth uncle. As someone who has been through this and is your uncle, I think he will give you some good advice."
It was the first time that Gu Lehuan saw Jin Qianqian lose her temper and she was a little shocked.
He really had no bad intentions, he just thought that since they were both women, it would be easier to convince the other party with Aunt Seven's help.
