Jiang Huaixu was startled by the scene before him. Why did he vomit blood while talking? Was it a coincidence or was he angry because of her words?
She didn't have time to think. The situation was urgent, so she stepped forward, helped the person who was half-kneeling on the ground up and started to rescue him.
Soon someone broke in. Jiang Huaixu looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Manager Yan.
Yan Qun's face was extremely gloomy. He quickly stepped forward and stuffed a pill into Shen Su's mouth.
Jiang Huaixu continued to apply acupuncture, his hands moving methodically as he explained, "He vomited blood while he was talking. I didn't do anything."
Yan Qun just watched Jiang Huaixu's actions silently without answering.
Jiang Huaixu asked Fu Tuan to scan Shen Su's physical data and found that this man had many old injuries, large-area burns, inflammation of the lungs and stomach. What was even more strange was that his skin and nails had high levels of heavy metals. The more he looked at it, the more frightening it was.
It would not be an exaggeration to describe it as full of holes.
Fu Tuan, still eating in the lobby, took a moment to say, "Is this man dying? Why does he have so many serious illnesses? He looks so miserable."
【Don't be such a pessimist.】
After finishing a round of acupuncture, Jiang Huaixu thought of the pill Yan Qun had just fed him. He looked at Yan Qun with a scrutinizing look, "Even if he takes good care of his body, it may not be able to recover. As his subordinate, you should know this."
Yan Qun was not surprised that Jiang Huaixu knew medical skills, and just nodded at what Jiang Huaixu said.
"My master has always neglected his own health. I have heard that you are an excellent doctor. I, Wangyue Tower, am willing to pay you a large sum of gold to treat my master. What do you think?"
Jiang Huaixu was silent for a moment, feeling that there were some things he had to clarify.
After Chen Su's condition stabilized, Yan Qun moved him to the bed and called a maid to look after him. She walked up to Yan Qun and said seriously, "Manager Yan, I think we should have a good talk."
"As long as the young lady wants to know, I will tell you everything I know."
Jiang Huaixu's eyes changed, and she always felt that this person was waiting for her here.
The two of them walked into the next room. Just as they closed the door, she heard Yan Qun say, "Yan Qun greets the young lady."
Jiang Huaixu turned around and saw Yan Qun kneeling on one knee facing her, bowing. She looked around and saw no one else but her.
"Shopkeeper Yan, are you mistaken? What young lady?"
The original body was from the Jiang family, and Yan Qun's master was Shen Su, but Shen Su's surname wasn't Jiang... Could it be that Qian Xiuzhu remembered it wrong? The original body's surname was Shen?
Yan Qun still didn't change his address. He took out a piece of paper from his pocket, unfolded it, and placed it in front of Jiang Huaixu. "Miss, have you ever seen this gold-inlaid jade?"
Jiang Huaixu looked at it carefully. If she remembered correctly, the picture on it was the gold-inlaid jade that Jiang Mingde had taken to pay off his debts, which she had seen on the first day she came to this world.
She still remembered that Mrs. Liu had been clamoring that the gold inlaid jade was an heirloom left to Jiang Shujian, but she never imagined that it was actually the original owner's.
"I've seen a style before. You should stand up first. I'm not used to kneeling all the time."
Yan Qun stood up and said, "This gold-inlaid jade pattern was designed by my master and his wife together. Later, it was kept by the young lady. A few years ago, the master always thought that the young lady and his wife died in the fire. It was not until last year that he learned the truth and knew that the young lady might still be alive."
Afterwards, Yan Qun told Jiang Huaixu a story from the past, which made Jiang Huaixu feel that his previous thoughts might not be right.
The Jiang family of Huaizhou is a wealthy and powerful family in Huaizhou. They have produced many civil servants from generation to generation. Although they are not eye-catching in the court, they can still have a say or two.
Until the Jiang family had a member named Jiang Huizhi who was wanton and wanted to fight in the battlefield, and the war in the north became tense, the current stability became less stable.
Jiang Huizhi's mother is Princess Mingyu, the daughter of a prince from the previous dynasty, and his father is Jiang Ming, the third son of the Jiang family. Because of his mother, he has known Shen Tingrui, the youngest daughter of the Shen family, since childhood. When they grew up, they fell in love and got engaged.
After they got married, Shen Tingrui knew very well her husband Jiang Huizhi's ambition to defend his country and make great achievements, so she did not object to his joining the army. The newlyweds began to spend more time together than together.
Although Jiang Huizhi won nine out of ten battles on the battlefield, he still couldn't reverse the decline of the previous dynasty. In the last battle, he was seriously injured and was in a coma for three months before waking up. The news that reached Huaizhou was that Shen Huizhi was dead. Shen Tingrui, who was already seven or eight months pregnant in Huaizhou, heard the bad news and went into premature labor.
When Jiang Huizhi returned home, a fire broke out in the courtyard where Shen Tingrui and her son lived. Coincidentally, County Master Mingyu was also in that courtyard at the time. He rushed into the fire to look for her and almost died in the flames.
At that time, the previous dynasty had collapsed and the Jin Dynasty had just been established.
Yan Qun's voice was dry. "A year later, General Jiang, who had fought on the battlefield, was finally able to walk. Jiang Su, whose courtesy name was Huizhi, changed his name to Chen Su and began to investigate the fire. He eventually traced it back to someone within the Jiang family."
He gave a bitter laugh, his expression sad. "County Lady Mingyu is of the previous dynasty. When her son was still a young general, she was valuable as long as she was alive. Once her son died, there was naturally no need for this lineage to continue to stay. Otherwise, it would only become a stumbling block for the Jiang family to climb up. Unfortunately, they didn't expect that their master had saved the current emperor on the battlefield.
If it weren't for the fact that His Majesty cherished talent and was considerate of our kindness, and had received the news that the master was alive and issued an edict to confer the title of Marquis of Xuanping on the master, the Jiang family would not have easily spared the master's life."
Jiang Huaixu listened attentively, reflecting on her previous thoughts. She knew too little about the ancient world; she hadn't anticipated the brutality of family struggles, and she had been looking at things from the perspective of her original self.
The three members of the Chen Su family plus Lady Mingyu were all helpless and were victims of the power struggle. There was no question of who was right or wrong.
She exhaled a breath of foul air and asked, "What happened next? Did Lord Shen... do anything to the Jiang family?"
"What can be done?" Yan Qun sneered. "The Jiang family pushed everything onto the master's father, Jiang Ming. They assumed the master wouldn't dare or could not do anything to his biological father. The master certainly didn't do anything to Jiang Ming. Jiang Ming committed suicide, and even after his death, he couldn't be enshrined in the Jiang family ancestral hall. Rumors spread that the master forced his biological father to death and became a madman.
After that, the Jiang family never dared to appear before their master again. When Lady Mingyu married into the Jiang family, she brought a considerable dowry, including this Wangyue Tower. The Jiang family shamelessly stole it, and the master took it all back bit by bit, even taking a lot of their flesh. Even so, this group of people still didn't learn their lesson and continued to claim that their master and their Jiang family were still united.
Jiang Huaixu calmed down a bit, and thinking of the data he had scanned earlier, he couldn't help but ask, "What pill did you give Lord Shen just now?"
Hearing Jiang Huaixu calling "Lord Chen Su", Yan Qun looked at her reproachfully and took out a medicine bottle and handed it to Jiang Huaixu.
Jiang Huaixu opened the medicine bottle and poured out a pill. He put it to his nose and sniffed it, then frowned and looked at Yan Qun. "There's arsenic in it—arsenic trioxide. Don't you know?"
