Therefore, she asked Cui Yihuan to help sound out Su Luoqing's intentions, and she let Ye Zhen bring the person over.
Seeing that the medicine was fine, Ye Zhen didn't stop her from taking it. Instead, she asked Su Luoqing, "Are you used to living alone now?"
After the old imperial physician Su divided the family property for his granddaughter last time, Su Luoqing moved out, and the house she lives in now is her mother's dowry.
What a coincidence, the house next door is Madam Shen's private residence.
"It was a bit quiet before, but it became lively after Madam Shen and her family moved in."
After Helian Qing's entourage arrived in the capital, Helian Qing, worried that Li Heng would cause trouble for Madam Shen, arranged for all his entourage to stay in Madam Shen's residence for protection.
Madam Shen was also worried that Li Heng might be a mole among Helian Qing's entourage, so she accepted her grandson's kindness.
Madam Shen's private residence wasn't large, but it was packed with people, making even Su Luoqing's neighbor's house feel more lively.
This is a good thing for Su Luoqing, who moved out of the Su family home alone.
Having secured the job from Madam Wang, Cui Yihuan knew Su Luoqing well enough to know that she wasn't coy, so she spoke frankly, "To be honest, Dr. Su, my sworn brother and sister-in-law are very pleased with you and want to hire you as a daughter-in-law of the Wang family. I wonder if Dr. Su would be interested in my good-for-nothing nephew?"
After recognizing Cui Yihuan, Madam Wang adopted her as her goddaughter, making it easier for Cui Yihuan to interact with the Wang family.
Su Luoqing was aware of the relationship between the two families, and naturally knew who the nephew she was talking about was.
Wang Jingshuo, son of Imperial Censor Wang.
They knew each other before, but there was a difference between men and women, and besides, she wasn't very outgoing, so she didn't have much contact with Wang Jingshuo.
However, some time ago, Wang Jingshuo suddenly started to run into her frequently, asking her about the official secrets that Ye Zhen had previously told her.
They also asked her if she knew a lot of her patients' secrets while treating them.
She told him firmly, "Young Master Wang, keeping a patient's secret is a doctor's basic professional ethics."
Wang Jingshuo was expected to be annoyed, but instead he asked, "So, do you like listening to it?"
His dark eyes were full of sincerity and inquiry, and she could only nod earnestly.
Who doesn't like gossip?
She was just doing her duty as a doctor; she's not a blockhead.
Unexpectedly, Wang Jingshuo laughed and said, "That's fine too. If you can't tell me, then I'll tell you and you can listen."
She still hadn't figured out what he meant by those words.
The next day, he appeared on her way back home and told her a lot about his travels.
Whether it was because the person was a good storyteller, able to tell every story with a clear beginning, development, climax, and conclusion, or because she rarely left the capital and was very curious about the outside world, she listened intently the whole way.
As they parted, she saw satisfaction in his eyes.
She couldn't understand Wang Jingshuo's actions, so she told Ye Zhen about her confusion.
It was only from Ye Zhen that she learned that her grandfather had entrusted her marriage to the Crown Prince, who then chose Wang Jingshuo for her.
Wang Jingshuo did not object to marrying her, but he was a gossip lover, even more so than his parents. Therefore, he hoped that his future wife would share gossip with him, just like his parents.
Upon learning that she was a doctor with her own professional ethics, Wang Jingshuo lowered his expectations, saying that she could be a listener if she wanted.
Ye Zhen laughed at the time, "He's taken a liking to you."
Having just been teased by Ye Zhen, Su Luoqing blushed slightly when Cui Yihuan asked her so bluntly again.
“Young Master Wang is very good, but my daughter’s family background is too humble, and I’m afraid she is not a good match for him.”
Su Luoqing knew that she would get married sooner or later, and the Wang family was a rare family that was harmonious and clean.
She didn't dislike Wang Jingshuo, and rather than being controlled by her uncle and aunt, she was indeed willing to marry into the Wang family.
Cui Yihuan laughed and said, "You don't need to worry about that. My sister-in-law came to tell me herself, so it's not a problem at all."
Su Luoqing is usually quiet, and it's rare to see her blush, so she must also have feelings for Wang Jingshuo.
The task was completed in a simple and straightforward manner. After Su Luoqing and Ye Zhen left, she personally went to the Wang family and told Madam Wang about the matter.
Madam Wang was unaware that her dog son had been frequently appearing before the young lady. Upon hearing this news, she was overjoyed and rushed off to tell Old Madam Wang.
Madam Wang had a good impression of Su Luoqing and nodded, saying, "If Jingshuo is interested, you should meet Miss Su in person. Make sure you are well-mannered and respectful. Don't neglect her just because she has no parents."
Her condition was that her grandson also had to like Su Luoqing; otherwise, a lifetime would be long, and it would be difficult for two uninterested people to be together.
Seeing that her mother-in-law had agreed, Madam Wang was preoccupied with how to make her own bachelor fall for Su Luoqing, and she rushed off to seek advice from her husband.
Seeing her so full of energy, Cui Yihuan felt as if she herself had become much more vibrant.
Old Madam Wang patted her niece's hand, "Lan'er, look ahead, don't waste the blessings God has given you."
How many people in this world have such a miraculous second chance at life? She hopes her niece can have a good life for the rest of her days.
Cui Yihuan nestled in the old man's arms for a long time; she had actually been trying very hard to live.
In particular, she hadn't dealt with Xie Jinyao yet.
She stayed at the old lady's place for half a day before going home, and then went to see a play with Xie Jinyao as arranged.
Xie Jinyao noticed that her complexion had improved considerably, and knew that she had taken the beauty-enhancing pills, which meant that Cui Yihuan trusted her.
The two seemed to have grown much closer.
In return, Cui Yihuan also invited Xie Jinyao to a meeting. During their conversation, she subtly revealed her dissatisfaction with Ye Zhen's management of the household and her own ambitions.
Xie Jinyao was just that kind of person; there was no doubt about it.
After spending some more time together, Xie Jinyao's pregnancy became stable. It happened to be the Laba Festival, and after the Laba porridge distribution at Fahua Temple outside the city, there would be a large-scale prayer ceremony.
The powerful and influential people in the capital would go there to pray for blessings, and Ye Zhen, as the future Crown Princess, would naturally go as well.
Xie Jinyao felt that after so much buildup, the opportunity to kill Ye Zhen had finally arrived. She remembered something that happened on the Laba Festival of that year in her previous life, and this event could help her.
She invited Cui Yihuan to go with her.
