185 See a doctor and uncover an affair
"You are so pampered." Zhai Dongming said unhappily, but pulled his cloak over and wrapped Feng Qingchen.
"Thank you." Although Zhai Dongming is not a very good person, he is a man who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment and will not take his anger out on a little woman.
Feng Qingchen understood that as long as she became friends with Zhai Dongming, he would definitely help her when she was in trouble because of his sense of loyalty.
"If you want to thank me, then do it with practical actions. The patient you are going to see is the wife of Marquis Jinyang, who is also my cousin. You have to show your skills. If you cure her, you will definitely get some benefits." Zhai Dongming looked eager. If Feng Qingchen hadn't known that he was going to see a patient, he would have thought he was going to see his lover.
"Don't worry, Young Master. Qingchen will do her best." Feng Qingchen felt something was strange. This Zhai Dongming was probably not the right person. It didn't seem like it was just to ask her to treat the disease. If he really cared about the patient, he would have gone to her long ago.
"Well, very good. When we get to the inner courtyard of Jinyang Marquis' Mansion and meet a woman named Jiang Yuxiu, please take a closer look at her for me." Zhai Dongming said somewhat embarrassedly, and this was the point.
"Look twice more? What are you looking at?" Feng Qingchen smiled.
She said that Zhai Dongming had arrested her and staged a temporary uprising. It turned out that there was a beautiful woman in the Jinyang Marquis's mansion.
Zhai Dongming looked embarrassed and pretended to be serious and said, "You are a girl, why are you asking so many questions? Just watch it if you want to."
Jiang Yuxiu was the princess his family was planning to marry him to. Her family background was not particularly prominent, but the lineage of Prince Su never married women from prominent families to avoid arousing suspicion from the Emperor.
"As you command, Qingchen will definitely keep an eye on things for the prince."
Hahaha...it turns out that this Prince Zhai is so innocent. Isn't it said that boys in ancient times would start looking for a concubine when they were fourteen or fifteen years old? Isn't it said that marriage is decided by parents? This Prince Zhai is really interesting. No wonder he can catch Wang Jinling's eye. It turns out that he is a man of true nature.
Feng Qingchen's laughter was bright and cheerful, totally unlike that of an ordinary girl in the boudoir, but it made Zhai Dongming feel real. Although he felt embarrassed, he did not scold her...
When they arrived outside the Jinyang Marquis Mansion, Zhai Dongming pulled the reins and brought Feng Qingchen down with him.
"Right here, follow me in."
Without giving Feng Qingchen a chance to breathe, he pulled people in and ran, looking very anxious. Feng Qingchen endured it because saving people was like putting out a fire.
There was no visiting card sent in advance. When Marquis Jinyang heard that Zhai Dongming was coming, he hurried over. Feng Qingchen took this opportunity to tidy up her appearance a little.
He rode along on horseback, and although he was protected by someone, the wind made his hair look terribly messy.
When Marquis Jinyang came in, Feng Qingchen was startled. Are all marquises so young these days?
He was wearing a bright blue robe, looked dignified, had a fair complexion, good looks, and a scholarly air. He was completely different from the burly general Zhai Dongming. The only thing that people didn't like about him was his eyes, which were vague and lacked any righteousness.
Feng Qingchen had a so-so impression of this person, so when Zhai Dongming introduced her, she just walked forward and bowed politely.
"Feng Qingchen? Prince, why do you let a woman like this come to my house?" There was a flash of disgust in Marquis Jinyang's eyes.
He was a scholar and an aristocrat, so he naturally looked down on women like Feng Qingchen who were always in the spotlight.
In front of Zhai Dongming, she was humble and friendly, but in front of Feng Qingchen, she was extremely proud. This was a sense of superiority. Feng Qingchen understood it very well. Since the question was not asked to her, she certainly didn't need to answer. She bowed and retreated to Zhai Dongming's side.
"What kind of woman is this? Marquis Jinyang, please speak more politely. Feng Qingchen is the doctor I invited. Marquis Jinyang's wife is in poor health. There's nothing wrong with me, her cousin, inviting a doctor for her." Feng Qingchen was invited by him, Zhai Dongming. If he didn't give Feng Qingchen face, he would be denying him face.
It’s okay for Marquis Jinyang to dislike Feng Qingchen, but he can’t show it so obviously. This would be a slap in his face. You have to know that although Zhai Dongming is only a prince, he is much more noble than Marquis Jinyang.
Marquis Jinyang looked embarrassed. He knew that Zhai Dongming was a rough man, so he stopped talking about Feng Qingchen and said, "Sir, my wife is not sick. She is just weak and needs to rest. I don't think we should trouble Doctor Feng."
"Doctor Feng is a very skilled doctor. He can even cure my father's long-standing illness. Let Doctor Feng take a look. He can cure the illness if there is one, and strengthen the body if there is none." Zhai Dongming was originally quite polite, but now he is not polite at all.
Anyway, he is not a scholar, so there is no need for him to pretend to be polite.
"My wife is not sick, there is no need to see a doctor." Marquis Jinyang still disagreed.
At this point, Feng Qingchen finally understood. She was sure that even if the wife of Marquis Jinyang was ill, the illness was related to Marquis Jinyang. So it seemed that Zhai Dongming had accidentally dragged her into the family fight.
Now, whether she treats him or not, she will offend Marquis Jinyang.
This is really...
Feng Qingchen was completely speechless. He looked up at the ceiling and activated the smart medical kit while the two were fighting.
On one side is the Marquis of Jinyang, and on the other side is the Prince of Su. It goes without saying that Zhai Dongming will be the winner in the end, and what she has to do is to stand on Zhai Dongming's side.
Sure enough, the final result was that Zhai Dongming won. Although Marquis Jinyang was extremely unwilling, he could not offend Prince Zhai.
The inner courtyard was where the female members of the family lived. Neither Zhai Dongming nor Marquis Jinyang went in. Led by a maid, Feng Qingchen passed through the winding corridor and came to the backyard.
"Doctor Feng, please wait a moment."
Not long after, a sedan chair arrived and Feng Qingchen got in without any hesitation.
She knew that the mansions of ancient nobles were all very large, and there were usually special sedan chairs at the side doors. However, because of her status, she had never enjoyed this treatment no matter where she went before. She didn't expect that the first time she rode in a sedan chair was in the Mansion of Marquis Jinyang. It seemed that Marquis Jinyang did a very good job of pretending.
Feng Qingchen was led into the courtyard of the wife of Marquis Jinyang. As soon as she arrived at the door, a beautiful young woman came out to greet her. When she saw Feng Qingchen, she wiped away her tears with emotion.
"Doctor Feng, it's great that my cousin invited you here."
She was so eager, as if the sick person was her mother. Feng Qingchen took a step back and looked at the woman in front of her with a critical eye.
She is very beautiful, a very charming and graceful person. However, although she is beautiful, she lacks elegance and is more worldly. Except for her face, everything else is far inferior to those girls from aristocratic families.
Cousin, could you be the one that Zhai Dongming likes?
"Doctor Feng, this is your cousin, the daughter of the Jiang family, whose maiden name is Yuxiu. Since the madam is unwell, Miss Jiang has been by her side taking care of her." The maid who spoke was the wife of Marquis Jinyang's servant, and there was no warmth for Jiang Yuxiu in her words.
When Feng Qingchen heard this, he looked at her twice more, this time with an expression of someone who was looking for a wife for Zhai Dongming. However, the more he looked, the more dissatisfied he became. This Jiang Yuxiu was not worthy of Zhai Dongming.
Feng Qingchen's look was quite rude, even though they were both women.
Jiang Yuxiu's maid stepped forward with a dark face and scolded: "Feng Qingchen, what are you looking at? Do you think you can look at my lady?"
The maid looked down on Feng Qingchen. Feng Qingchen was dressed in cloth without any decoration on her body. She looked shabby. She didn't look like a lady from a noble family at all. She looked like a commoner.
And the common people are the least valuable in the eyes of the nobles.
"Don't be rude." Jiang Yuxiu scolded softly, with displeasure in her eyes.
"Miss Jiang, Qingchen is rude." Feng Qingchen didn't care and apologized immediately.
"Qingchen rarely sees a beauty like Miss Jiang, and was distracted for a moment, and even forgot to forgive her."
No one cares whether it's sincere or not. Anyway, after such a compliment, the other party will not bother to continue. After all, this is the Marquis' Mansion, and Jiang Yuxiu is just a cousin...
