Chapter 75 Teaching How to Do Things
"This little gadget is so unique, who knows, maybe Prince Luo will like it too?"
Taking the small seashell from Ji Wenxuan's hand, Madam Ji looked at Ji Wenxuan with a loving expression.
"You're just spoiling him! See if people laugh their heads off if you send him out." Although Madam Ji's face showed her disapproval, she was actually quite happy inside.
As Gu Shuyan watched the group joking around, she thought of what Ji Shi had said earlier and felt a strange sensation rise within her for some reason.
After leaving the Marquis's residence, Physician Hu did not return directly to the Imperial Hospital, but instead went to a small two-courtyard house in the east of the city.
"This humble official greets Your Excellency the Grand Secretary."
As soon as he entered, Physician Hu cupped his hands in greeting to Yun Yichen.
But Yun Yichen's first words were: "How is it?"
Physician Hu knew what Yun Yichen was asking, and immediately replied, "The poison in the young lady's body has been neutralized, and she is fine."
Upon hearing this, Yun Yichen's perpetually icy expression softened slightly. "Doctor Hu, is there anything else you wish to say to me?"
Seeing that Physician Hu seemed hesitant to speak, Yun Yichen looked up at him.
Physician Hu only made eye contact with Yun Yichen for a brief second before quickly turning his face away.
"No, it's nothing. I'll take my leave now."
As he spoke, Physician Hu turned and left. After he had gone some distance, Zhong Lin spoke up, "Master, Physician Hu did not say that he was not the one who cured the poison, nor did he tell Miss Gu why she summoned him. I'm afraid he is not trustworthy."
Upon hearing this, Yun Yichen put down his pen. "Find another candidate in the Imperial Medical Academy. If you can't find one, arrange for one of our own. As for him, keep him around for now; he might be useful later."
Thinking that he had almost completely believed this person, Yun Yichen's eyes were filled with coldness.
If it weren't for the incident involving Gu Shuyan, he probably would have entrusted that matter to him. If that had happened, his position, which he had maintained over the years, would have been completely ruined.
Who on earth arranged for all these people to be placed here? It's truly hateful.
On that day, due to the arrival of Madam Ji and her son, Madam Ji set up two tables of food at the mansion and invited people from the second branch of the family to come over.
Seeing that everyone in the family was there except for Gu Yingxue, Aunt Qiao twisted her slender waist and said in a sinister tone, "Sister-in-law, where is Yingxue?"
Aunt Qiao was clearly present when Madam Ji punished Gu Yingxue that day, yet she still deliberately asked about it in front of so many people, which shows her intentions.
"Yingxue is still under house arrest and it's inconvenient for her to come over."
Ji Shi had little contact with Aunt Qiao and there had been no conflict between them, but even so, she still disliked this concubine from a humble background.
"Sister-in-law, I'm not trying to be mean, but Yingxue only made a mistake. You're being too biased towards your own daughter. The whole family is here today, we can't just leave her out."
Aunt Qiao spoke in a tone that seemed to be instructing Ji Shi on how to do things, which made Ji Shi feel annoyed.
She never disliked Gu Yingxue because she wasn't her biological daughter. Even when Gu Yingxue harbored thoughts of harming Gu Shuyan, Madam Ji never considered driving Gu Yingxue away. But Auntie's words implied that Madam Ji was deliberately biased.
If we really have to say who was favored, then we can only say that the Ji family favored Gu Yingxue over Gu Shuyan. Otherwise, how could they tolerate Gu Yingxue treating her own daughter this way?
"Then, according to Aunt Qiao's wishes, what should I do?"
Even though Ji Shi never liked to put on airs, she couldn't help but put on airs after hearing what Aunt Qiao said, but Aunt Qiao didn't even notice.
