Chapter 172 It’s time to seek help
"The young lady has woken up and looks much better. She will be out after she finishes changing and washing."
Bai Lan quickly took in the toiletries and clothes that were placed at the door.
A quarter of an hour later, the other maids and servants came in.
A quarter of an hour later, Bai Lan helped Song Yu out of the room.
Du Ye was upset when she saw that Song Yu had lost a lot of weight.
I saw her yesterday afternoon and she was fine.
"Aunt, good morning, Madam Du."
The voice was obviously much weaker. "Yu girl, you are still sick, why are you up so early? Go back and lie down for a while. Wait until breakfast is served before you get up."
"Sister Yu, go back to the room and lie down." Feng Yingying was about to help Song Yu into the room.
"Aunt, I'm fine now. I'm going to give grandma an acupuncture treatment. I can't miss a day. Grandma doesn't know that I was bitten by a poisonous snake, right?"
Feng Yingying: ...She actually forgot about this.
"Is it okay to get the injection later?"
Song Yu said, "Acupuncture is only effective in the morning."
"Okay, go get it done quickly, and come back and rest after you're done."
Feng Yingying helped Song Yu out of Huiya Pavilion.
Du Ye hurried forward to support Song Yu's other side, trying to see the red mole on Song Yu's face through the gap in the mask.
Song Yu tilted his head and looked at her in confusion, "Madam Du, is there something dirty on my head?"
"No, I noticed the string behind your mask was loose."
Bai Lan quickly reached out and tightened the string. She had worked on it last night. "It won't fall off. My young lady's face will heal in a few days and she won't need to wear it anymore."
Feng Yingying said, "Yesterday I saw your face was very smooth, no scars, only small red spots. I think you're fine, you don't need to wear it anymore. It's uncomfortable to wear a mask on your face."
Song Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, her aunt hadn't noticed anything. "No, I won't allow even a single flaw on my face."
When Du Ye saw Song Yu protecting her face so much, she intuitively felt that she might not really be Jiang Yunwan's daughter.
Yu was bitten by a poisonous snake yesterday, but she can walk today. She is such an amazing doctor, how could her face heal so slowly?
Besides, it has been quite some time since I returned to Kyoto.
Song Yu gave acupuncture to Old Madam Jiang, while Du Ye took Feng Yingying outside.
"Yingying, Bai Lan said your sister Yu is weak. Wanwan had a difficult birth and injured her body. She never recovered and didn't give Sister Yu a brother or sister."
"She should be pregnant soon." Feng Yingying said with a smile, "The last time you saw Wanwan in front of the tavern, wasn't there a single blemish on her face?"
"That's right, not only is there no flaw, but the person looks not only young but also beautiful."
"You may not know, but a few days ago, my Wanwan had some light scars on her face. They were from when she fell off a cliff. The scars were only recently removed. You can imagine how deep the wounds were back then."
"It was only with the skin-beautifying cream developed by Sister Yu that the marks were completely removed. At the time, Sister Yu also gave Wanwan some pills to take internally, claiming they were for beauty and nourishment, but they were actually just for conditioning. She hid it from Wanwan to give her a surprise. If Wanwan hadn't asked Court Judge Xue to come to her house, she would still be in the dark. It was that day that we learned Sister Yu possessed medical skills."
I see!
"Is your sister Yu self-taught?"
Feng Yingying chuckled, "Master leads you to the door, but it's up to you to practice. My sister Yu is really smart."
"Aunt." Bai Lan helped Song Yu out.
"Now that you've finished the acupuncture, go back and rest."
Song Yu nodded and said to Du Ye, "Madam Du, my grandmother just said you were feeling a little unwell. Let me take a look at you."
"It's nothing serious for me. Go back and rest for a while. When you're done, come and take a closer look at me."
Mrs. Du Ye subconsciously put her hands behind her back. Seeing this, Song Yu did not insist on examining her. She was indeed tired.
"Then I'll come back to let Madam Du take a closer look when I feel better."
Bai Lan hurriedly helped Song Yu leave.
"Jinxiu, hurry up and catch up."
Feng Yingying entered the room and said, "Mother-in-law, let's move to another courtyard today. Sister Yu caught a cold and got up early. She has to walk such a long way. She will be tired."
"Then change quickly, somewhere closer to Huiya Pavilion, preferably Huiya Pavilion."
"Madam," Aunt Qiao said, "It's uncertain how long Miss Song will recover from her condition. Your health doesn't allow for any more time."
Du Ye stared intently at the receding figure. "Miss Song has finished her consultation with me today. I'm going back to the city, so I won't be able to see her even if I go to the Jiang residence. I'll go to the Jiang residence and ask her to see me after I return to the city. I guess Jiang Yunwan will only take off her mask if she's pregnant."
"What the old lady means is..."
Du Ye whispered, "If you're not mistaken about her appearance, it's impossible for two people in this world to look alike without being related by blood. Sister Yu is very likely my granddaughter."
"This...what if Miss Song looks like her father? It's just a coincidence."
Du Ye carefully recalled Song Mingen's profile. "It's no coincidence. Sister Yu is most likely my granddaughter. Sister Yu looks like a child born with difficulty. When the couple brought the child home, it was already a full month old. But Madam Wu said that the child was stillborn. Is there something fishy going on here?"
Aunt Qiao was shocked. "You suspect the Wu family of having swapped the baby? But the eldest daughter doesn't look like Madam Wu. Could it be that the eldest daughter looks like Miss Song's father?"
Du Ye frowned. "You're getting more and more ridiculous. Now go find Du Kang and have him thoroughly investigate whether the Wu family is related to the Song family, as well as Song Mingen's background. I want the results within seven days. Don't let Henian and the others know about this. Keep it secret."
"Good old lady."
Before Song Yu arrived at Huiya Pavilion, he saw Mu Jingxing and Jiang Guanchen standing at the gate of Huiya Pavilion, wanting to go in but not daring to.
"Master, Prince Mu."
"Cousin, why are you up so early?" Jiang Guanchen walked over quickly. "Are you feeling better?"
"Thank you for your concern, cousin. I'm fine."
"Ah? What's wrong with you? Your voice is weak. Go inside and lie down. You need to rest now and you can't get up early." Jiang Guanchen was distressed. "Bai Lan, why don't you help your young lady inside."
Bai Lan hurriedly helped the person in.
"Miss Song, is breakfast ready?"
When Mu Jingxing reminded him, Jiang Guanchen hurriedly said, "Bai Lan, you should serve your young lady her meal first. She won't be healthy if she's hungry."
"Don't worry, cousin. I will take good care of my young lady."
"What should I do? My cousin has become thinner."
Mu Jingxing had just seen Song Yu's frail appearance, and he felt indescribably uncomfortable. "Don't worry, I will make sure your cousin is fat. You don't need to rush to the government office. I wrote to the emperor last night to ask for leave. You can stay at the villa and wait until your cousin is well before returning to the city together."
Jiang Guanchen smiled and said, "Brother Prince is very thoughtful. Let's go and tame the big white rabbit. Once my cousin recovers, we can give it to her to raise."
"good."
Song Yu and Jiang Shiyun had breakfast together and then went to bed, sleeping until 6:15 pm.
"Miss, Zhang Feng is here. He said that his wife accidentally pricked her finger while making clothes yesterday. She was worried that something might happen to you, so she asked Li Da to bring him over to pick you up."
Her mother really loved her and could even sense when she was bitten by a poisonous snake.
"Did my aunt say that I caught a cold and asked me to rest for another day?"
"That's right, but Princess, the princess wants you to rest for a few more days."
Song Yu shook her head. "I can't stay in the villa any longer. If I don't go back, my parents will definitely come over. Wu Lingheng's people must be outside watching to see if I'm dead or not. If I'm not dead, they'll attack me on the way back."
"What should we do? Should we go back or not?"
"Go back. I'll wait for them to make their move, then capture them alive and expose Wu Lingheng, and force out the influential figure behind him. Can that influential figure's power surpass that of the Mu family?"
Bai Lan was surprised: "Miss, do you mean to borrow the power of the Mu family?"
Song Yu nodded. "It's time to seek help. I finally managed to escape a disaster thanks to a premonition dream, but this time it was the venomous snake that nearly killed me. We can't let him continue to run rampant! Go find my cousin and Prince Mu."
"Okay, but Miss, please eat first."
"Uncle Da, my father must have asked you to find out about my uncle's background?"
Li Da nodded and glanced at Mu Jingxing.
"The prince is one of us, but my uncle has no father, no mother, no brothers or sisters?"
"My dear young master, your eldest brother-in-law has a mother and twin siblings. He severed all ties with them on his way to Beijing. The Song family also came to Beijing and settled in Xiangyun Road. Your eldest brother-in-law's nephew Song Rui has entered the Imperial College and is studying in the same class as your eldest nephew Wu Han."
"Wu Han?" Mu Jingxing asked, "Is he the son of Lord Wu, the Councillor of the Ministry of Civil Affairs?"
"That's right."
"It was indeed Wu Lingheng who did it!" Jiang Guanchen slammed the table heavily.
Li Da was startled. "Master, what did Lord Wu do to make you so angry?"
"Nothing, but can you find out why my uncle wants to break off the relationship?"
"Not yet. My eldest brother-in-law is loyal and filial, and he dotes on his younger siblings. Madam Wu's Mingyue Tower in Beijing was purchased by my eldest brother-in-law. The reason why my eldest brother-in-law severed ties with his family is probably because Wu Lingheng did something that my eldest brother-in-law cannot forgive. Madam Song sided with her son-in-law Wu Lingheng, which hurt my eldest brother-in-law's feelings. That's why this happened."
"Prince, Master Jiang." Xiao Fei walked in. "Miss Bai Lan came and said that Miss Song wanted to see you. Please go."
