Chapter 108: Refusal to Treat, Mu Jingxing Goes to Jiang Mansion
"Ming En, how is it?"
Seeing Song Mingen come back, Jiang Yunwan couldn't wait to ask, "Can you see clearly that the wife of Marquis Weiyuan looks like our sister Yu?"
"She looks like Sister Yu, especially the teardrop mole on her left eye. Her brows are slightly furrowed, and she looks so fierce and aggressive holding a gun. She looks just like Sister Yu."
Jiang Yunwan was suspicious. "It was so dark, and you could see the expression on her face so clearly. Are you kidding me?"
Song Mingen pretended to scratch his eyes. "The moon is full tonight, big and bright, and my eyesight is good. I was mainly staring at her in the dark, so I can't be mistaken. And Weiyuan Hou looks a bit like Sister Yu, so they are definitely Sister Yu's biological father and mother."
Jiang Yunwan said, "No wonder Wu Lingheng wanted us dead! You have such a sharp eye, you recognized her as Sister Yu's biological mother at a glance. He still looks down on my Jiang family, which only means that his daughter will bring supreme wealth and glory to the Wu family in the future. Could it be that his precious daughter is engaged to someone in the royal family?"
Song Mingen was surprised. "Once her identity is exposed, she might not be able to enter the royal family. Does that mean our sister Yu can marry into the royal family? And become a prince's or princess' consort in the future?"
"I can't be the prince's consort. The emperor's son is only seven years old. He can only be the princess."
"Wu Lingheng is such a shrewd person! If we had died at the Yunyin Inn halfway up the mountain, the Wu family would have prospered."
"Let's take the initiative to stay away from Weiyuan Marquis Mansion and let Wu Lingheng be happy for three months. We can deal with him after three months. Okay, let's go to sleep."
The next day, Jiang Yunwan indirectly learned about the affairs of the legitimate daughter of the Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion from Feng Yingying and Jiang Yunshu.
"Wanwan, the Du family's daughter is truly blessed. The Marquis and his wife treat her like the apple of their eye. The maids around her are all specially trained martial arts maids, each possessing unique skills. Du Zhihuan is even more proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Moreover, she has been engaged to the young prince, the young prince Rong, since she was a child."
"Prince Xiao Rong?"
"He is the son of Prince Rong, the brother of the current emperor from the same mother. The emperor is very fond of him and he was given the title of Little Prince Rong on the day of his wedding. The Crown Prince Xiao Chengqian is not only good-looking but also capable. He already holds an important position in the court and will be a prince in the future. He is also the little prince's study companion, and the little prince likes him very much."
Jiang Yunwan was secretly shocked. After a hundred years of the emperor's reign, wouldn't Xiao Chengqian be a prince second only to the emperor?
No wonder Wu Lingheng looked down on the Jiang family.
Feng Yingying said, "Sister Yu is in Beijing now. She needs to make some good friends. Princess Anyang had a great time talking to Sister Yu yesterday. She's also good friends with Du Zhihuan. I think Sister Yu could become friends with Du Zhihuan, too."
Be friends?
That's absolutely impossible!
Jiang Yunshu: "Du Zhihuan is not Princess Anyang. Let's not try to get close to her. Let things take their own course."
Jiang Yunshu knew that her daughter didn't like Du Zhihuan, so naturally she didn't like him either.
Her daughter Qingmeng is good in all aspects, but she is the legitimate daughter of the Earl's family, otherwise Qingmeng would have been a third-rank noble lady in the last exam.
"Shushu is right. Fate that is forced upon you will not last long. Sister Yu was able to have such a pleasant conversation with Princess Anyang because I saved her by accident. This is fate that happens naturally."
"Yes, yes, you are all right. It's a joke that our Jiang family can't protect Sister Yu."
"Sister-in-law, I've sent someone to ask Judge Xue to come to my house and take a look. I want to give Sister Yu a brother or sister..."
After breakfast, Mu Jingxing waited in the living room in the front yard.
Seeing that Chen Shi A Si still hadn't come to visit, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"A Fei, go check out the gate."
Xiao Fei turned around and went out.
Lu Lu said, "Prince, please don't be anxious. It's just past noon, and the Jiang Mansion is quite far from here."
Mu Jingxing said nothing when he heard this.
A moment later, Xiao Fei's voice came. "Master, someone is coming."
Mu Jingxing hurriedly got up and walked out. Seeing that there was no one behind Asi, he felt inexplicably lost.
"Mr. Mu, I'm here to collect the remaining medical fee on the orders of my young lady."
Mu Jingxing glanced at Luxu.
Lu Xu hurriedly handed a large box to Ah Si, "Nine thousand taels are all here, count them."
Ah Si opened it and took a quick look before closing the box. "Mr. Mu is a man of his words. He will certainly not shortchange my young lady's medical fee."
"I wonder when your daughter will be able to come and see my grandmother?"
Ah Si looked at Mu Jingxing, who looked even more attractive today than yesterday, and couldn't bear to speak. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Master Mu, my daughter only has a little knowledge of medicine. The fact that she was able to save you last time was purely coincidental. Please seek other medical advice. I will go back and report now."
Xiao Fei hurriedly looked at Mu Jingxing.
Mu Jingxing nodded as usual, "Okay, tell your young lady that we will meet again if we are lucky."
Once the medical fee is collected, we are all settled and there is no chance of seeing each other again.
Asi didn't say much, bowed and turned to leave.
Asi followed Song Yu's instructions, left the Mu Mansion, walked around several streets, and only returned to the Jiang Mansion after making sure that no one was following him.
Jiang Guanchen was busy working on the relevant documents at his desk in the Hanlin Academy.
Because he was so focused, Mu Jingxing came in and stood there for half a day without Jiang Guanchen noticing.
“Ahem…”
"Ah!" Jiang Guanchen trembled with fear. "Master Mu, when did you come in? You're scaring me to death, I won't forgive you."
Mu Jingxing smiled and handed over the cold tea. "Come, have a cup of cold tea to calm your nerves. You are too devoted to it. There is no need to work so hard for the court, right?"
Jiang Guanchen drank the cold tea. "I've moved all my afternoon work to the morning. I'll go home this afternoon to spend more time with my aunt and grandmother. I have good news for you. My grandmother's eye disease has improved. She should be able to see again in half a year. I'll talk to her every afternoon to cheer her up. Maybe she'll be able to see again in less than half a year."
Mu Jingxing was surprised, "Did you find a miracle doctor?"
"No, it's because my aunt and her family of three came back, and my grandmother is in a good mood, so her eye disease has improved."
"I haven't visited her in a long time. I happened to have nothing to do at the yamen this afternoon, so I went to see Old Madam Jiang. This is the eye ointment I recently mixed. If your grandmother uses it, she might be able to regain her sight soon."
Jiang Guanchen took it and looked at it carefully. "It smells delicious. Wait for me for half an hour, I will be done soon."
"I'll help you deal with it, quickly."
He was also anxious to go to Jiang Mansion to see his savior.
"By the way, come back with me, and don't scare my eldest cousin. If she gets close to you by accident and you dare to be mean to her, I'll have no ties with you! If you dare to let my cousin practice Buddhism on your behalf, my grandfather and father won't be afraid of you. They will file a complaint with the emperor and have you shave your head and become a monk!"
"Oh!" Mu Jingxing said with a smile, "Are you threatening me, or giving me some advice?"
"I..." Jiang Guanchen was a little scared when he saw Mu Jingxing's smile. "I'm doing this for your own good. My cousin is timid, so I really can't be mean to her. Otherwise, I really won't be friends with you anymore."
