Chapter 265: Not Dead Yet
Chapter 265: Not Dead Yet
Mother Wen shook her head with regret in her heart, but she did not feel sorry for Su Jin. She just felt that Su Jin had brought this upon himself.
Who made you insist on getting a divorce in the first place?
Mother Wen felt somewhat happy.
Soon, the maid brought by Mother Wen found Imperial Physician Zhang.
Imperial Physician Zhang thought that the old lady was not feeling well again, so he picked up his medicine box and left. As a result, the carriage turned around and around and ended up at Su Jin's house.
As soon as he got off the car, Imperial Physician Zhang was stunned. He pointed at the gate of the Su Mansion and looked back at the maid. The maid explained, "Mother Wen came to see the young lady. The young lady is seriously ill. Although she is no longer a member of the Marquis' Mansion, she is still the mother of three brothers and sisters. Mother Wen is kind-hearted, so she asked you to come and see her."
An explanation was needed, but Imperial Physician Zhang understood what was going on almost immediately.
It must be that the Marquis' Mansion is causing trouble again, and Miss Su Liu is pretending to be sick again.
Feeling confident, Imperial Physician Zhang also knew what to do next, so he followed the maid and walked in in a pretentious manner.
"Doctor Zhang, please take a look at me. I have been away from the mansion without anyone to take care of me, and my health has deteriorated!"
Mother Wen spoke in a sarcastic tone, leaving Imperial Physician Zhang with a puzzled look.
Yes, he takes care of her. He comes here often. Su Jin is in good health. She often practices the Five Animal Exercises that I taught her. She is in much better health than when she was in the Marquis' Mansion!
However, he couldn't say this, so Imperial Physician Zhang nodded pretentiously and began to examine the patient. However, when he lowered his head, he saw Su Jin winking at him, which made Imperial Physician Zhang almost burst out laughing.
I can only say that Su Jin is really clever. When he is calm, he is really calm, and when he is trying to stir up trouble, he is really capable.
"Doctor Zhang, how is it?"
Mother Wen asked.
Imperial Physician Zhang frowned, his eyes showing a bit of worry, and Mother Wen felt even more relieved. It seemed that Su Jin's health was really bad.
"this……"
Imperial Physician Zhang received the signal from Su Jin's eyes and followed Mother Wen's intentions and said, "Not very good. During the time you were away from the Marquis' Mansion, your body probably wasn't well taken care of. Your Qi and blood were depleted, your organs were damaged, and you were overworked..."
Mother Wen’s face became even more smug. I forced you to divorce!
Although she complained in her heart, Mother Wen still showed her worry on her face: "Imperial Doctor Zhang, you have to treat her well. Our old lady still needs to find the young lady for something!"
Imperial Physician Zhang shook his head and sighed: "Not right, she needs to stay in bed to recuperate, otherwise her condition will get worse."
Mother Wen: ...
Ah, this! I originally came to invite someone to go to the Marquis’ Mansion, but in the end, the person couldn’t even get out of bed?
It's really unlucky that I got sick at this time and my condition is so serious.
She was just making fun of Su Jin, but now Mother Wen completely regrets it.
But, a sick person cannot be taken away by force, so he still asked Su Jin to do the thing.
Mother Wen thought about it and didn't say anything more. She put down the things the old lady sent, looked after Su Jin for a while, and then turned and left.
As soon as Mama Wen left, Su Jin became full of energy. After opening the gifts, one could only say that Madam Zou was still very generous and domineering. All the gifts she gave were valuable. In addition, she also got 10% of the profits from the soap shop in the Marquis' Mansion. Mama Wen also brought the profits from the soap shop this time.
All I can say is that the profits are really not that much. Even though it's only 10%, with the current tight export of soap, it shouldn't be just that little money. All I can say is that Lin Wanhui took all of it into her own hands.
"Oh, I am a concubine, and this is all I can do."
Smart people do things perfectly, but Lin Wanhui's is full of loopholes. If someone smarter than her comes along, Lin Wanhui will be really finished.
"These are all put into the warehouse."
Su Jin waved her hand, and Yuchuan and Jinchuan put away all the things. As for what happened to the Marquis' Mansion, what did it have to do with her?
Since you are already pretending to be sick, just continue lying down.
Su Jin lay down happily.
On the other side, Mother Wen returned to the Marquis' Mansion and told Zou about Su Jin's situation.
Hearing that Su Jin couldn't come, Zou was really anxious. Even Imperial Physician Zhang had gone, so Su Jin's illness was not fake. Su Jin was seriously ill. Not to mention coming to the Marquis' Mansion, he couldn't even leave the house!
Zou was so anxious that she thought too much. She subconsciously wondered if Su Jin was pretending.
As for Imperial Physician Zhang, is he in cahoots with Su Jin?
Zou's imagination was very creative, and she was not wrong. Since her son's life was involved, she was of course anxious.
However, the situation in the Marquis' Mansion now seemed even less optimistic, because after checking the accounts of the Marquis' Mansion for the past six months, she could only say that it was appalling.
Not only did many of the accounts not match, but even the profits of the shops were pitifully small. You have to know that many of these shops were very profitable, especially the soaps, which were all sent to the palace or directly to foreign countries.
“This is the wrong money!”
Zou was furious and felt that Lin Wanhui was a real nuisance, but Gu Changqing protected this woman so tightly that she couldn't get rid of her even if she wanted to.
Zou felt uncomfortable.
For a moment, internal and external troubles seemed to erupt at this time, making it difficult for the Zou family to catch their breath.
However, as if things never get worse, the luck of the Marquis' Mansion seemed to be getting worse and worse and more unlucky from this moment on.
Gu Zhao, Marquis of Yong'an, suddenly fell seriously ill.
Zou's illness got better after the spring, but Marquis Yong'an did not survive the spring.
It only took three short days from the time his illness became serious to the time he passed away.
Three days later, white cloth was hung in Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
The court also knew the news of Marquis Yong'an's death, and the emperor directly designated a mausoleum for the late old marquis, which was right next to the tomb of the late emperor. Originally, Marquis Yong'an was also a veteran who followed the late emperor, and now being buried next to the late emperor was already a great honor.
When Gu Changqing heard that his father's tomb was next to the late emperor, he knew that the emperor still cared about the old marquis, and he began to wonder if he could be promoted. This was because there had been precedents since ancient times. When a noble passed away, the emperor would grant a tomb, mourn, and provide pensions to the family. The so-called pensions meant promotion and giving money.
But he is now a seventh-rank official, and what he needs most is promotion!
Gu Changqing looked expectant, but after the emperor ordered mourning, there was no further news.
Everyone can see that the emperor has the old marquis in his heart, but Gu Changqing is completely out of the emperor's sight.
Zou had no objection to the emperor's actions. It was a great honor for the emperor to reward her with a mausoleum next to the late emperor. As for Gu Changqing...
Oh, forget it, she doesn't plan to count on it anymore.
"Mother Wen, go tell Su Jin that the old marquis is gone, and that she shouldn't come to pay her respects as she is not in good health."
Zou still had Su Jin's good things in mind, but with so many things happening at once, the most important thing was to hold the funeral for the old marquis. Gu Changqing wouldn't die for the time being, so she could put it aside for now.
