Su Wenyuan only knew that the picture was given by Yu Qingzhu; she knew nothing about the details and secrets behind it.
Judging from Su Yuan's expression, what he knows might not be useful, but what if it is?
"The Su family has become like this, and you neither worry about Su Lin'er nor think about Su Xian, but only about yourself." Su Wenyuan said sarcastically, unable to hold back any longer.
Su Yuan showed no shame, but rather some anger. If he hadn't been slurring his words, he would have definitely told Su Wenyuan about Su Lin'er, that ungrateful wretch.
Seeing that he was having a hard time speaking, Su Wenyuan stopped talking and said directly, "You should go back first. I will consider hiring a doctor."
Without this picture, she wouldn't have even considered it.
Su Yuan was carried back, and Su Wenyuan returned to her room with the simple diagram.
"Su Yuan gave this to me. Could this be a treasure map? It's so strange." Su Wenyuan slammed the paper on the table.
Sheng Jingyu took it and looked at it for a while, but found nothing.
Just as I was about to say something, I noticed that Su Wenyuan was engrossed in looking at the sketches of Rongzhuyuan.
In order to study how similar the two courtyards were, he drew a simple map of the Banyan and Bamboo Courtyard and marked the locations of the hidden compartments.
Then, this picture was compared to the Marquis of Anle's residence, and the original appearance of that secluded and deserted courtyard inside the Marquis of Anle's residence was redrawn.
“It’s not a treasure map, it’s location markers. These symbols are items,” Su Wenyuan said in a deep voice.
The hidden squares marked on the year-end map and the symbols on the simplified map can be matched most of the time.
Some parts are not shown in the picture, but the hidden compartments do exist.
Another part is quite the opposite; the drawing has symbols, but the sketch of Rongzhuyuan does not have hidden grids marked on it.
Whether it was because it wasn't there or because she hadn't discovered it, Su Wenyuan leaned more towards the latter.
Sheng Jingyu said, "They'll know once they go and see for themselves."
Su Wenyuan shook her head and said, "I'm afraid the guards won't be able to find it. Rongzhu Courtyard is so big, but the map is very small. This room has four hidden compartments, but the points marking the hidden compartments take up the entire room, and there's not even enough room to put them."
The Banyan and Bamboo Garden is three-dimensional; the sketch only marks its approximate location.
In reality, the four hidden compartments are no bigger than a few palms in the room, but when placed on the map, the four dots already fill the entire room.
Another simplified diagram, roughly the same scale, shows a symbol occupying a space that could represent the entire room.
It could even be the ground outside the room, the roof, the beams...
It's not that we can't find them, but it's too time-consuming and involves a lot of work.
There is a simpler method, but I'm afraid Sheng Jingyu won't agree.
Su Wenyuan stared straight at Sheng Jingyu without saying a word, which didn't seem like she was thinking seriously.
Sheng Jingyu pursed his lips and said, "You're looking for Nian Huaizhong, and you want to give him these two pictures."
"You're so smart, how do you know everything? He's good at this, he'll definitely find it in no time." Su Wenyuan didn't hold back her praise, hoping to cheer Sheng Jingyu up and reduce his hostility towards her.
Su Wenyuan also suspected Nian Huaizhong, but compared to Sheng Jingyu, her suspicions were insignificant.
Sheng Jingyu hesitated for a long time, then looked at the several drawings on the table and said, "If I were to say, I think he deliberately drew this sketch for you to see, would you believe me?"
After reviewing it again, Su Wenyuan said, "He showed it to me on purpose. If it were me, I would have to draw a diagram to prove whether the two courtyards are the same. I can't just talk about it."
You can't give a report without some preparation; can you just rely on your words to get up there?
Sheng Jingyu sighed. That wasn't what he meant. He felt that Nian Huaizhong had known something all along, and that the picture was intentionally meant to mislead Su Wenyuan.
But Su Wenyuan wouldn't believe it if you said that.
They went through so much trouble to find this out, so why did Nian Huaizhong know all along?
Moreover, Sheng Jingyu's speculation lacks evidence and basis, and seems to be nothing more than wild guessing.
It's no wonder Su Wenyuan didn't believe it. If she really wanted to use Nian Huaizhong's name, then so be it. The more she did, the more likely her secrets would be revealed.
As long as you don't lose sight of them, it's fine.
Thinking that Nian Huaizhong was still resting at this time, Su Wenyuan told someone to tell him tomorrow morning.
As for Su Yuan, Su Wenyuan decided to hire a doctor for him so that he could speak more clearly and she could get more useful information out of him, as communicating with him now was really difficult.
As dawn broke, Nian Huaizhong left the Prince Chen's residence to attend to the tasks assigned by Su Wenyuan.
Another point is that Su Wenyuan made a high-profile announcement that she would hire a famous doctor to treat Su Yuan's illness.
Anyone with the ability is welcome to come and give it a try.
This would not only earn them a good reputation, but also allow the fake doctor they arranged to take advantage of the situation and appear legitimately in front of everyone.
Sheng Jingyu's eyes still need to be "cured" by that fake miracle doctor.
The news caused an uproar in the capital, with many praising Su Wenyuan and then criticizing Su Lin'er and Su Yuan.
Su Wenyuan is forgiving and kind-hearted, which makes Su Yuan and the others seem truly vicious in comparison.
When the Emperor and Empress learned of this news, they were completely bewildered, unable to understand what Chu Suwen was up to now.
To say she meant well?
Pooh!
That's simply impossible.
Suddenly feigning kindness must mean there's something on their mind!
When Su Yuan found out, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, as he was afraid that Su Wenyuan would not agree.
"Oh, I didn't expect that. You treated Su Wenyuan so badly, yet Su Wenyuan still managed to find you a famous doctor. Do you regret treating her badly in the past?" Su Lin'er's sarcastic voice appeared in Su Yuan's ear.
Su Xian frowned and interrupted, "Sister, how can you say that?"
When Su Yuan first fell ill, Su Lin'er still asked him to take good care of Su Yuan, but after his trip to the palace, her attitude changed.
Even Su Xian, who was slow to realize it, noticed that something was wrong.
"Shut up!" Su Lin'er shouted angrily. "You're a good-for-nothing, you can't do anything right. Who arranged for someone to take him to the Prince Chen's residence last night?"
Su Xian was hit where it hurt, and angrily stood up, shouting, "What's wrong with me?"
"What else? Who told you to go find Su Wenyuan!" Su Lin'er was furious.
She even tried to threaten Su Yuan with the medicinal herbs, but Su Yuan was really capable. Even though he couldn't walk, he still managed to get Su Wenyuan to help him. She didn't know what benefits she had promised him.
Su Xian retorted defiantly, "So what if I gave in? Does this Su residence belong to you alone?"
"You think you're so tough? Do you believe I'll lock you up again?"
"You should worry about yourself first. It's time to go to the palace, aren't you?"
The siblings kept reopening old wounds, neither willing to back down, and before they knew it, they were fighting.
It was Su Lin'er's maid who separated them. Looking at the time, Su Lin'er was indeed supposed to enter the palace to face the Empress.
Su Wenyuan's high-profile request for a doctor even alarmed the Duke of Wan.
He learned that Su Yuan had gone to the Prince Chen's residence in the middle of the night, and then Su Wenyuan started looking for famous doctors. There must be a connection between these events.
