Chapter 19 Zhu Family
At this time, Yun Fu didn't know that her senior sister had secretly sneaked down from Lingxi Peak and was still living a fairy-like life every day.
That day Wei Rong made a wooden frame for her. There were several wooden boards on the frame, and a small circle of fence was made on the wooden boards, which was covered with soft gold-woven cushions.
The rack is also wrapped with hemp ropes in circles, and the whole rack looks like a tree, but without leaves.
Yun Fu didn't know why, but the cat became more alert when it saw the shelf, especially the branches wrapped with hemp rope, which made its paws itch.
The shelf was carried into Wei Rong's study, which was the place where Wei Rong most often stayed besides the bedroom.
The wooden shelf was placed near the window. Outside the window was a rockery pond with rippling green waves and swaying lotus flowers. When the wind blew, the lotus fragrance mixed with water vapor was fresh and elegant.
There is a small square table next to the shelf, where Wei Rong often drinks tea and paints.
As soon as she put down her pride, Yun Fu struggled out of the man's arms. Because of her excitement, her claws hidden in the cushions were exposed, and she accidentally hooked several threads on Wei Rong's robe.
Wei Rong didn't care. Ever since he raised Ah Fu, his clothes would get snagged from time to time. It wasn't a big deal if the clothes were snagged, but he was worried that the claws would get too tight and tear his nails.
Yun Fu had already come to the shelf and kept sniffing around it.
Then he stretched out his two front paws and began to scratch the pole wrapped with hemp rope unconsciously.
The more it scratched, the more excited it became. Wei Rong, who was watching from the side, was afraid of hurting its little paws.
Yun Fu was having fun, but the Prime Minister's Mansion was full of depression.
Beneath the pink and white gauze curtains, a graceful and petite figure lying on the pearwood carved bed appeared even thinner under the hibiscus quilt.
The porcelain-white face with baby fat was now pale as a dying crabapple flower.
The girl had her eyes closed, her thin black eyebrows, her bloodless cherry lips, and her long black hair spread on the pillow all looked slightly dull. All these showed that the person on the bed had been unconscious for a long time.
The old man with gray hair and wrinkles on his face took the girl's pulse through a silk handkerchief. The strange pulse condition made the wrinkles on his face deeper and deeper.
There were quite a few people standing beside the pear blossom bed.
Among them, the woman in a light green soft smoke silk dress with lotus pattern had her hair combed in a lady's bun. The hair accessories on her head were as elegant as her Luoqun, and she wore a bright green bracelet on her fair wrist. The green color of the bracelet was reflected on her skin, and it was obvious that it was of great value.
The woman is already in her thirties, but her face is so well maintained that people would believe she is in her early twenties.
The girl standing next to the woman had a pretty face, a lilac purple shimmering brocade long skirt, agate earrings, a hairpin with jade beads and tassels, and a carved golden incense ball hanging around her waist, emitting a faint fragrance.
The girl's face, which was covered with delicate makeup, was full of impatience at this moment. Looking at the person lying on the bed, the contempt and irritation in her eyes were almost overflowing.
Qin Shulan noticed her little daughter's impatience and gave her a warning with a slight glance.
Seeing this, Su Xiaohan immediately put away the irritation on her face, but her expression became even worse.
Finally, the elderly doctor finished taking the patient's pulse.
Qin Shulan stepped forward and asked, "Doctor Feng, how is Fu'er?"
The old man stood up, his face filled with sorrow. He folded his arms and said, "Madam Su, Miss Su's illness is truly bizarre. I have never seen such a strange symptom before. I regret that I am not knowledgeable enough to make a definitive diagnosis. I can only prescribe some nourishing and nourishing medicine for her."
Qin Shulan's beautiful eyes wrinkled. "My daughter just accidentally fell into the water. How could she remain unconscious like this? Is there really no way?"
The Imperial Physician Feng in front of him is the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau. Prime Minister Su personally sent a letter to invite him to treat Su Yunfu.
Su Yunfu has been in a coma since she fell into the water more than a month ago and was rescued. Her pulse is stable and her breathing is normal, but she just can't wake up.
The Prime Minister's Mansion invited many doctors and physicians, even the physician of the prince of the Duke of Wei's Mansion, the genius doctor He Zhixian, who was famous for Sheng Jing'an, was invited to see him.
The results of He Zhixian's diagnosis were ambiguous. He originally wanted to ask someone to come to his home for another diagnosis, but he didn't expect that Prince Wei was poisoned, so the matter came to nothing.
After seeing off Imperial Physician Feng, Su Xiaohan, who had been holding back on words, finally spoke out.
"Mother, why does Daddy attach so much importance to Su Yunfu? Daddy doesn't like her, right? If she's unconscious, just let her stay unconscious. It's such a waste to spend so much effort to hire her as an imperial physician and a miracle doctor."
Hearing her daughter's words, Qin Shulan's beautiful and gentle face suddenly turned cold. "Xiaoxiao! Is this your father's biological daughter? Do you know who Su Yunfu's biological mother is?"
When Su Xiaohan heard her mother's stern voice, she immediately weakened.
"No... He's just the son of a merchant woman. You're the daughter of the Grand Tutor, more noble than that woman who died so early..."
Before Su Xiaohan could finish her words, her mother covered her mouth.
Qin Shulan gave a look to the nanny beside her, and the nanny immediately went out with the maid, closed the door, and stood guard outside the house.
Only the sleeping Yun Fu and the mother and daughter were left in the room.
"You'd better not let others hear this!"
Su Xiaohan was not convinced. She said that what she said was the truth and there was nothing she couldn't say.
Su Yunfu said that she was accidentally lost outside for fifteen years, but she secretly heard her father and mother say that Su Yunfu was sent out of the prime minister's mansion by her biological mother and then sent into the mountains.
A rich girl who grew up in the mountains is still a rich girl, not just a pheasant.
Qin Shulan looked at her daughter's face full of dissatisfaction, feeling very disappointed with her. She raised her hand and poked her forehead twice.
"Su Yunfu's biological mother is from the Nanling Zhu family, which is no ordinary merchant family! Your father's prime minister, Su Yunfu's biological mother contributed most of the family wealth to ensure his official career is smooth."
The Zhu family of Nanling has been in business for generations, and it is no exaggeration to say that they are now as wealthy as a country.
He controls several mines, including gold mines and iron mines...even the imperial court is interested in winning him over.
Sons of the Zhu family were not allowed to serve as officials in the court, and daughters were not allowed to marry into official families.
But that woman Zhu Qinghan fell into trouble with Su Chengyi.
She even had a falling out with the Zhu family, but still insisted on marrying Su Chengyi.
Qin Shulan knew Su Chengyi best. For a person like him, the most important thing was the power in his hands. He had tricked Zhu Qinghan into falling into his carefully designed trap, spent most of his family wealth on him, paved the way for him, and promoted him to the position of prime minister.
After Zhu Qinghan was no longer of any use to him, he was kicked away.
Qin Shulan didn't even dare to think about Zhu Qinghan's death.
Qin Shulan didn't know whether she would become the second Zhu Qinghan.
Qin Shulan's father was a veteran of three dynasties and served as a Taifu. As his father's daughter, she was finally married into the family of Su Chengyi in a sedan chair carried by eight people after Zhu Qinghan's death.
She had known Su Chengyi since she was young, and they could be considered childhood sweethearts. When he married the young lady of the Zhu family who was the most helpful to him, Qin Shulan knew that Su Chengyi loved no one but only the power in his hands.
She finally married into the Su family because her first husband died of illness on their wedding night, leaving her a widow. Su Chengyi asked his father to marry her and promised her the position of wife, and his father agreed without hesitation.
The daughter, who had just come of age, naturally did not understand the twists and turns and bitterness of the matter.
Qin Shulan didn't want her to understand either.
but……
"Xiaoxiao, Xizhu is the person you arranged, right?"
Hearing her mother's questioning, Su Xiaohan lowered her head guiltily.
She knew she couldn't escape her mother's eyesight, so she had to resort to her usual tricks.
"Mother~~~ I know I was wrong, and I asked Xizhu to push Su Yunfu into the lotus pond just to see her make a fool of herself. The water in the lotus pond was not even knee-deep, but I didn't expect Su Yunfu to fall in and remain unconscious even after being rescued."
Speaking of this, Su Xiaohan's heart was beating fast. She had only wanted to see Su Yunfu make a fool of herself, but she had never thought that this person would fall down and...
Qin Shulan pulled out her sleeves, her face cold, "You were wrong in the first place. I've been busy looking for a famous doctor for Su Yunfu, so I didn't pursue the matter. I wanted you to reflect on this, but you still don't repent. From today on, go to the ancestral hall and kneel down and copy the Diamond Sutra a hundred times. There should be a limit to joking! It's because I've been too indulgent with you, and you've become lawless!"
