Qin Mansion.
When Qin Sheng arrived, she saw a carriage parked next to the entrance. Although it looked ordinary, she recognized it as a carriage from the imperial palace.
It must be the imperial physician from the palace who has arrived.
When the people at the door saw that it was Miss returning, they rushed in to announce her arrival.
Qin Zhengde was not at home. After the morning court session, he went to the academy to handle some matters and had not returned yet.
The eldest young master is receiving distinguished guests in the flower hall.
Qin Sheng assumed the servants were referring to the imperial physicians from the palace as the distinguished guests, and went to Madam Qin's courtyard before they finished speaking.
"Why is Miss back?" The old nanny beside Madam Qin was surprised and hurriedly came to greet her.
"Where is my mother?" Qin Sheng asked. "How is she? What did the imperial physician say? Is she feeling any better?"
The nanny said, "Madam has taken her medicine and the imperial physician has finished acupuncture. Don't worry, Miss. This Imperial Physician Wen is the best physician in the Imperial Hospital. He said that Madam's illness needs to be treated slowly. As long as she takes her medicine on time, she will get better gradually."
"real?"
Granny Yu had watched the two siblings grow up together. Seeing her young mistress's anxious expression, she smiled and comforted her, "Of course it's true. When has this old servant ever lied to you?"
Qin Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Knowing that her mother was asleep, she didn't go in, afraid that opening the door would wake Madam Qin again.
Qin Sheng pulled Granny Yu to sit down in the outer room and asked, "Is the Imperial Physician Wen you mentioned the head of the Imperial Hospital?"
Yes, that's right.
Granny Yu said, "What a coincidence! The Regent came to the manor to see our young master, and he happened to come with Physician Wen."
"The Regent?"
Qin Sheng suddenly raised her voice, then bit her lip, her voice returning to normal: "The servant said that my elder brother was entertaining distinguished guests, that he was entertaining the Regent?"
Granny Yu nodded, "Yes."
Qin Sheng's mind stirred, and for some reason, she suddenly thought of that day in the plum grove on the outskirts of Beijing. He looked quite badly injured, but he had already recovered.
After sitting in her mother's courtyard for a quarter of an hour, Qin Sheng figured the Regent should have left by then.
Madam Qin had not yet woken up. Qin Sheng wanted to talk to her brother, so she asked Granny Yu to take good care of her mother and went out with her maid.
forecourt.
Although Yue Rongheng brought Imperial Physician Wen with him to treat Madam Qin today, he did indeed have important business to discuss with Qin Yu.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will do my utmost." Qin Yu clasped his hands in a solemn gesture.
Yue Rongheng wanted him to be in charge of the disaster relief efforts in Yanshu, and to escort 200,000 taels of silver, as well as food, clothing, quilts, and other winter supplies to Yanshu.
"In that case, I'll leave it to you." Yue Rongheng nodded slightly to him.
After finishing their business, Yue Rongheng summoned Imperial Physician Wen and inquired about Madam Qin's condition.
Physician Wen truthfully reported: "Madam Qin's headaches have been going on for years, but please rest assured, Your Highness and General, as long as she takes her medicine on time and is supplemented with this acupuncture method, she will definitely be cured."
Qin Yu nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
Madam Qin's headaches had indeed been a problem for some years, but in the past, she had seen a doctor and taken medicine, and the headaches had always been quick to subside and did not flare up frequently.
Perhaps it's because the weather turned cold so quickly this year; one day it was sunny and bright, and the next day it was so cold that we needed to light a fire.
Madam Qin's headache flared up, and the torment caused her to lose weight.
Just as Qin Yu was about to see Yue Rongheng out, he saw the servant bring in two people: Yin Wenxiao and an old doctor carrying a medicine box.
Perhaps not expecting to run into the Regent at the Qin residence, Yin Wenxiao was startled and quickly bowed.
Yue Rongheng looked at him without showing any emotion, a fleeting look of disgust in his eyes.
Compared to Yue Rongheng's composure, Qin Yu's dislike for Yin Wenxiao was crystal clear. "Oh, what's going on, brother-in-law?"
"Brother-in-law," Yin Wenxiao said to Qin Yu, "I heard that my mother-in-law is not feeling well, and Asheng came back to visit her. I was worried, so I specially brought a doctor over."
"Ah Sheng is back?" Qin Yu was taken aback.
It's not his fault. The servants said that when the young master was entertaining distinguished guests, Qin Sheng thought he was entertaining Imperial Physician Wen, so he didn't send anyone to inform him.
As they were talking, Qin Sheng came out from the backyard with two maids.
When she saw Yue Rongheng standing in the courtyard, she was stunned. When she saw Yin Wenxiao, Qin Sheng's face turned cold instantly.
She walked over, first bowed to Yue Rongheng, and then asked Yin Wenxiao, "Why has the Earl come?"
His tone was polite yet distant, as if he had abandoned even the pretense.
Yin Wenxiao was a little embarrassed, but still said, "I heard that my mother-in-law was not feeling well, so I brought a doctor with me."
Qin Yu said, "Thank you for your trouble, but the Imperial Physician Wen in the palace has already examined my mother."
However, since the Regent was still there, Qin Yu did not want to embarrass Yin Wenxiao too much, so he had someone invite him in to serve tea first, while he himself saw the Regent out.
Yue Rongheng's gaze remained fixed on Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng didn't dare look at him, feeling that his gaze seemed a little... improper, which made her scalp tingle.
Fortunately, the man didn't go too far and followed Qin Yu out.
Qin Sheng's hand, which was tightly gripping the handkerchief, loosened slightly.
She waited for her brother to return in the courtyard.
Qin Yu also had something to say to his sister, so he quickly returned after seeing the Regent off.
The doctor that Yin Wenxiao had brought had no use, so he sent him back and sat in the hall drinking tea.
About fifteen minutes passed.
Not seeing Qin Sheng or Qin Yu come in, he called over a servant at the door to ask.
The servant hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "Reporting to the young master, the eldest young master and young lady have gone to the backyard."
Yin Wenxiao: "???"
He was, after all, the son-in-law of the Qin family. As soon as the regent left, the brother and sister left him alone in the hall to drink tea while they went to the backyard.
But it was the backyard, so he couldn't go in.
However, Yin Wenxiao, who was always proud and arrogant, could not bear being treated so rudely and almost stormed off.
But then I thought about it and held back.
Since we've already come all this way, wouldn't leaving now mean all our efforts have been wasted?
Yin Wenxiao sat back down and drank his tea.
The servant kept his eyes down and stood guard at the door.
backyard.
The brother and sister walked along the covered corridor. Qin Yu looked displeased: "If you ask me, Father and Mother should never have agreed to this marriage in the first place. Look at that man surnamed Yin now, he's thinking of taking a concubine again. He's not very capable, but he's got a lot of tricks up his sleeve!"
Qin Yu became increasingly angry as he spoke, "Moreover, I heard that he only got into the Hanlin Academy because of his father's connections. Otherwise, he would have been a complete failure. He's really arrogant and doesn't know his own limitations!"
"..."
As he spoke, he finally realized something, and Qin Yu hissed, cursing himself for being too talkative.
Although he looked down on Yin Wenxiao in every way, his sister was already married to him. Wasn't saying these things just embarrassing for his sister?
"elder brother……"
Qin Sheng suddenly stopped, a thought flashing through her mind. She looked at Qin Yu and said, "What if one day Yin Wenxiao and I divorce..."
