Bai Zhiyi's pitiful expression had no effect whatsoever; instead, it completely enraged Wei Jingzhuo.
"Someone come here."
Lin Qingfeng entered in response, cupping his hands and saying, "Master."
"Throw this woman out," Wei Jingzhuo added, "and she's never to set foot here again."
Before Lin Qingfeng could step forward, Wei Jingzhuo saw Bai Zhiyi looking at Su Wan's chest with resentment, which made him even angrier. He turned to Lin Qingfeng and urged in a cold voice, "What are you waiting for? Take her out of here quickly."
Bai Zhiyi was startled by Wei Jingzhuo's voice, and when she looked at his cold eyes, she couldn't help but shudder.
She didn't understand why His Highness looked at her with such coldness and even hostility. Was it because she had just thrown herself into Doctor Su's arms?
These days, although His Highness has not shown any reaction when he sees her, he would never reveal such a terrifying expression.
Not only her, but even Su Wan was shocked by Wei Jingzhuo's anger.
Two women hugging, is that really such a big deal? Has Wei Jingzhuo become so jealous that he won't even let women touch him?
Before Bai Zhiyi could speak up in defense, Lin Qingfeng stepped forward and said, "Miss Bai, you heard what the master said. Are you going out voluntarily, or do you want me to do it?"
Bai Zhiyi felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing this, and quickly raised her hand, saying, "Guard Lin, I can walk out by myself, please don't come any closer."
She was afraid that Lin Qingfeng would do what he did last time, grabbing her by the collar and throwing her out without saying a word... The ground outside was all paved with stone slabs, and if she fell on the ground again, she didn't know what kind of damage she would suffer.
She slowly moved towards the door, and as she passed Wei Jingzhuo, she suddenly smelled a faint floral fragrance.
She had just smelled the fragrance of these flowers on Doctor Su.
A sudden sense of clarity dawned on her.
What a clever doctor, Dr. Su! Her makeup is so skillful; she's definitely a woman!
She gave a cold laugh, brushed down her veil, quickened her pace, and walked out the door. Before leaving, she couldn't help but turn back and say, "I won't disturb you two any longer."
Two servants helped Wei Jingzhuo to sit down in front of Su Wan. Wei Jingzhuo took her hand and gestured for the rest of the servants to leave.
Once only the two of them were left in the room, Wei Jingzhuo said, "Awan, Bai Zhiyi is a dangerous woman. Remember to stay far away from her in the future."
Su Wan placed her palm on Wei Jingzhuo's hand and coughed lightly: "Actually, Bai Zhiyi is quite rich. Look, the people in our mansion can drink a bowl of milk and goat milk every day, all thanks to Bai Zhiyi's money."
The money she used to buy the cattle and sheep from Luna was actually paid by Bai Zhiyi. Although she later exchanged the cattle and sheep for pills, she wouldn't have had the intention to buy them without those five hundred taels.
We really should thank Bai Zhiyi.
Seeing that she still didn't understand, Wei Jingzhuo frowned, pinched his brow, and took out a jade pendant from his pocket and handed it to her: "Awan, this is for you."
Su Wan didn't take it; he forced the jade pendant into her hand.
"If you are short of money, you can take this jade pendant to any bank in the Great Jin Dynasty to exchange it for money. I will not allow you to spend other people's money."
You can only spend his money.
One should support one's own wife; how can one allow such a despicable person to defile Ah Wan?
Su Wan looked at the jade pendant in her hand. The jade was smooth and white, cool to the touch, and had a plum blossom-shaped mark carved on it. She asked, "If you give this to me, what will you do if you need the money?"
She guessed that this must be all of Wei Jingzhuo's belongings.
The Northwest Army's pay hasn't been issued for a year. She had heard Zhao Xiyue mention before that the reason the General's Mansion was so poor was because all the silver in revenue was going into the Northwest Army camp.
To support tens of thousands of soldiers, money was being spent like water.
“Ah Wan, I don’t need this,” Wei Jingzhuo said, holding her hand. “These things belong to you.”
...
Bai Zhiyi stood outside the courtyard, head bowed in thought.
Although she hadn't been able to touch Dr. Su's chest, she was close enough to smell the faint floral fragrance emanating from him.
This fragrance can only be found on women.
She did indeed smell the same scent as she passed by His Highness.
In addition, she saw bloodstains on Doctor Su's lower body when she first entered the courtyard, which confirmed that Doctor Su was a woman.
She had always believed that His Highness secretly loved men but dared not speak out. Now it seemed that this was not the case at all; His Highness had only ever loved the female physician, Su, who was disguised as a man.
Seeing her standing there with her head down and not saying a word, the maid gently tugged at her sleeve and said, "Miss, it's cold. Shall we go back to our room?"
Bai Zhiyi nodded and followed the maid back into the room.
Upon learning Dr. Su's true identity, her mind was in turmoil, and she needed time to unravel the mystery and sort things out step by step.
No wonder the people she sent out couldn't find out Dr. Su's true identity; there was no such person at all, so of course they couldn't find out.
She had never seen a woman near His Highness, yet Doctor Su had been intimate with him, and the fact that they both smelled the same was evidence. Doctor Su was very likely the woman who married His Highness.
Thinking of this, she felt even more distressed.
Before she left Suiyang County, she left a message for the people there: if they found out who had married His Highness, they should kill that person.
The woman who marries His Highness must be from Suiyang County, or at least a woman from a nearby town.
The other party's surname is Su, and it seems that Yang's husband's family also has the surname Su.
By the way, Yang's daughter is named Su Yu'e, and she also has a cousin who has never appeared in public named Su Wan.
I remember Yang saying that Su Wan was married off to a country bumpkin to bring good luck. But no one had ever seen that country bumpkin.
Now that things have come to this, the best course of action is to call Yang over and ask her what's going on.
She looked up, about to instruct her maid to send someone to Suiyang County to find Yang Shi, when a maid quickly entered the room, holding a sealed letter in her hand.
"Miss, there's a letter from Suiyang County."
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhiyi suddenly stood up: "Give me the letter quickly."
There must be some news from the people investigating over there.
The maid handed her the letter. Bai Zhiyi tore open the envelope, took out the letter, and unfolded it. It contained all the information about the Su family in Suiyang County.
Prefect Su had a son and a daughter. His daughter was named Su Wan, and his son was named Su Yuze.
Su Wan was arranged to marry a country bumpkin in exchange for a marriage with the Yang family, while Yang's daughter, Su Yue'e, married into the Zhao family in the capital.
This country bumpkin was the former crown prince who was deposed by the emperor.
Wei Jingzhuo.
Bai Zhiyi slammed the letter on the table and said resentfully, "Dr. Su... Su Wan... Why did it take me so long to understand something so simple?"
Seeing her mistress's angry expression, the maid quickly comforted her, "Miss, please don't be angry. People sometimes make foolish mistakes."
Bai Zhiyi was even angrier now.
