Chapter 73: Showing Your

Cards Jiang Yanyi was on her way to Jiang Yangui's courtyard when she was stopped by a servant and asked to go there.

Chi Qing handed the medicine and the new prescription to her on behalf of Feng Shuo, saying that Feng Shuo was discussing important matters with Mr. Chu and others.

Feng Shuo could have asked the servants in the mansion to hand over an item, but he asked Chi Qing to hand it over to him personally, obviously because he was afraid that the medicine would be tampered with.

Jiang Yanyi suddenly felt that what the doctor in Feng's mansion said before, that there was a pill missing from the medicine Jiang Yangui took, was not simple.

She carefully looked at the doctor's new prescription and found that it was no different from the previous prescription Jiang Yangui took.

Jiang Yangui had taken several packets of medicine from the capital before, but they were not fully boiled. The doctor in Feng Mansion had also looked at the medicine that day and said that there was no problem.

When Jiang Yanyi went to the ear room to get the medicine, Chu Zhong saw her taking the medicine packets brought from the capital and suddenly said, "Miss, the medicine that the young master is taking now is more effective than before. It must be the new medicine prescribed by the doctor."

Jiang Yanyi felt that he was hiding something from her and asked, "Uncle Zhong, is there any problem with these medicines?"

Chu Zhong hesitated for a moment before saying, "I am not a doctor and don't know the pharmacology of them, but the young master seems to have a very strong property when taking this medicine. The pain-relieving pills from Xinglin Medical Clinic didn't seem to have any effect before. There was no pain-relieving pills on the way, and the young master took this medicine alone. He banged his head against the car wall several times because of the pain. He even asked me to tie him up. "

Jiang Yanyi didn't expect there was such a secret, she said angrily: "Why didn't you tell me before!"

Previously, the doctor in Feng Mansion only said that this pill was used for anti-inflammatory and analgesic, but Jiang Yanyi didn't know that the other medicines that complemented it were so strong.

Chu Zhong lowered his head and said: "It was my cousin who didn't let me tell you."

He didn't understand medical principles, and he thought that the analgesic pill was just for pain relief. The treatment medicine was still the herbal medicine for external application and the medicine boiled for Jiang Yangui to drink every day. On the way, Jiang Yangui's wound worsened, and they fled all the way to Xizhou. Jiang Yangui told him not to tell Chu Changping, fearing that Chu Changping would go to find a doctor for him, which would cause complications.

Chu Zhong didn't know that taking that medicine alone would cause problems. It was common for wounds to become festering if they were wrapped too tightly in winter, so he didn't doubt it. He was afraid that the entire Chu family would fall into danger again. Jiang Yangui repeatedly told him that he didn't say anything.

After Jiang Yanyi asked the doctor to see Jiang Yangui and changed the medicine, Jiang Yangui's injury improved significantly. He realized that without the pain-relieving pills, using that prescription alone would cause big problems.

Jiang Yanyi asked, "Why didn't you go to Xinglin Clinic to buy medicine in advance when you left the capital?"

Chu Zhong said embarrassedly, "My dear cousin, I was responsible for taking care of my cousin on the way. When he was in the capital, he was taken care of by the servants of the Chu family. I don't know what happened at that time."

Jiang Yanyi also knew that she was a little angry. She took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, Uncle Zhong, I was too excited."

Chu Zhong felt very guilty, "My dear cousin, what are you talking about? The third master asked me to take care of my cousin, and I didn't take good care of him. This is my dereliction of duty."

Jiang Yanyi sighed and handed over the medicine bag in her hand, "In the future, if you have anything, you must tell me first. I have asked someone to prepare the pain-relieving pills. You can go and boil the medicine."

Chu Zhong agreed.

Jiang Yanyi turned and went to Jiang Yangui's room.

Jiang Yangui had already finished his meal and was reading a book in his hand.

Jiang Yanyi pushed the door open, he raised his head and said with a smile: "Sister is here."

Seeing that Jiang Yanyi didn't say anything and her expression was obviously not right, he put away the smile on his face and asked: "What's wrong with sister?"

Jiang Yanyi said: "Yangui, are you hiding something from me?"

Jiang Yangui narrowed his eyes slightly: "Why do you say that, sister."

Jiang Yanyi said: "Why did you prepare a lot of external herbs and other internal medicines before leaving the capital, but only didn't buy pain-relieving pills?"

Jiang Yangui heard this, and the last trace of smile on his face fell, and the hand holding the scroll was so strong that the knuckles turned white.

"Say something?" Jiang Yanyi felt so distressed whenever she thought that he might have delayed treatment due to inflammation of the leg injury.

Jiang Yangui's eyes slowly turned red: "Sister, my mother and I hid in the Chu family like a bereaved dog. My mother had many quarrels with my aunt in the past. When the Chu family suffered such a disaster, my two uncles spoke coldly to my mother and me, not to mention my aunt. Whenever we wanted to buy something, my mother had to be humble in front of my aunt and say all the good things before my aunt would buy it for us. . That small bottle of pills was so expensive that my aunt didn’t buy it for me because she heard that it was only for pain relief. My mother was forced into a corner and had to give the bracelet given by my grandmother to the servants, who pawned it at the pawnshop to buy medicine for me. My aunt found out about this and thought that my mother had money on her. When she was leaving the capital, she refused to buy the pain relief pills no matter what my mother said. ”

“My mother wanted to complain to my grandmother, but I stopped her because I didn’t want to cause any more trouble for my grandmother and didn’t want my mother to see my aunt’s face. Unexpectedly, this hurt my mother and made her worry about my injury. She got off the carriage when she was leaving the city…”

Jiang Yangui thought that the pills were just for pain relief and that he could just endure it.

Later on the road, when the wound worsened, he did not think about medicine. Madam Jiang's death had a huge impact on him. At that time, he was so disheartened that he did not care about his legs at all.

When he arrived in Xizhou, Jiang Yanyi asked a doctor to see his wounds and said that the medicine he drank must be mixed with pain-relieving pills. Only then did he realize the seriousness of the situation.

At that time, he chose to hide the matter of the pain-relieving pills, firstly because he could not bear to see Jiang Yanyi sad, and secondly because he was afraid that Jiang Yanyi would make a big deal out of it and tell his grandmother.

Madam Chu lost her beloved daughter, and after the bumpy journey of thousands of miles, her health was not as good as before. He had already lost his mother, and he was afraid that his grandmother would know these and be too sad to fall ill.

After listening to Jiang Yangui's words, Jiang Yanyi was silent for a long time.

On the day when the Chu family first arrived in Xizhou, she went to see the old lady. After Liu left, the old lady complained to her about many things. The content was all about the cold words of the first and second masters of the Chu family to Madam Jiang, and they would occasionally make sarcastic remarks to Madam Jiang. The old lady scolded Minister Jiang the most.

Jiang Yanyi had never met Madam Jiang. Based on her original memory and the writing in the original book, she only felt that Madam Jiang was a person who was confused but always tried to be strong, and would ask her family to clean up the mess when something went wrong.

Because her impression of Madam Jiang was too much of a guest, and she had never been in contact with Madam Jiang in person, when Jiang Yanyi learned that Madam Jiang and the first and second houses of the Chu family were not in harmony and had caused many conflicts, she also looked at it as a bystander and felt that both sides were wrong.

Now, listening to Jiang Yangui's red eyes talking about what happened in the capital, her heart inevitably became heavy.

Behind each of these things, there were complicated causes and effects.

It seems that everyone is wrong, and it seems that everyone is a victim.

It was the imperial guards who killed Madam Jiang, and Minister Jiang was indeed a troublemaker, but the sarcasm of the two uncles of the Chu family always broke down Madam Jiang's psychological defenses?

Regardless of whether Liu knew the importance of the pain-relieving pill, Jiang Yangui's leg injury was indeed aggravated because of it, and Madam Jiang also lost her life... Even if she was unintentional, the fault still exists.

Jiang Yanyi said bitterly: "Yangui, I'm sorry."

Jiang Yangui raised her head and tried hard to hold back the tears in her eyes: "Sister, I want to move out of the Chu family as soon as possible."

Jiang Yanyi said: "Okay."

In the front hall of the Chu family, only Feng Shuo and Chi Qing were more comfortable eating this meal.

Chi Qing received Feng Shuo's instructions and took the pills and prescription to Jiang Yanyi first.

Feng Shuo knew nothing about the conflicts in the Chu family, but when he learned that Jiang Yanyi was so anxious that he asked a doctor, he asked the doctor after returning home. The doctor said that the prescription Jiang Yangui took was extremely strong, and the wound would heal quickly, but he must take a pain-relieving pill to reduce inflammation and relieve pain, otherwise the wound would become inflamed, which would be dangerous.

Since the doctor who treated Jiang Yangui in the capital could prescribe this prescription, he certainly would not forget to ask him to take the pain-relieving pill.

Feng Shuo had stayed in the cannibalistic palace for more than ten years, and the first thing he thought of was that someone in the Chu family was against Jiang Yanyi and his sister, and deliberately tampered with the medicine. He came here in person today just to find out the bottom line of the Chu family.

Among the Chu family, only Chu Changping and Old Lady Chu looked a little more natural. The first and second masters were timid and didn't even dare to move their chopsticks.

Chu Changping was also quite surprised by Feng Shuo's sudden visit, but he subconsciously thought that it might be related to Jiang Yanyi and his sister.

Old Lady Chu toasted Feng Shuo: "Your Highness, your visit is truly an honor to our humble home!"

Feng Shuo drank the wine offered by Old Lady Chu, then said: "You are too honored, Old Lady Chu. I heard that your cousin injured his leg. Is he feeling better now?"

Old Lady Chu was flattered and said: "Thanks to your concern, Your Highness. Fortunately, the doctor in your mansion has brought the child back to health. The child is looking much better these days."

The three brothers of the Chu family had different expressions. Jiang Yangui was just a half-grown child, so he was probably not important enough for Feng Shuo to take care of personally. The reason behind this was worth pondering.

Feng Shuo took in the expressions of everyone at the table: "I did hear the doctor mention that the medicine used by your cousin was strong, but he did not take the corresponding analgesic pills to relieve inflammation and pain."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the four Chu family members changed. Old Master Chu and Chu Changping were shocked. The first master Chu's eyes were evasive, obviously guilty. The second master Chu was also surprised, but more of it was none of his business.

They were all people who had lived for decades, and they could see each other's thoughts clearly with just a glance.

Old Lady Chu stammered, "There is such a thing..."

Feng Shuo had already said this, and it was not convenient for him to interfere in other people's family affairs. Judging from the attitudes of Old Lady Chu and Chu Changping, it was not like they would let Jiang Yanyi and his brother get angry. He said, "Thank you for hosting the banquet today. I have something important to do, so I will take my leave first."

Old Lady Chu looked at Chu Changping, "Sanlang, please see the prince off."

Chu Changping responded and stood up to see Feng Shuo out of the front hall.

Both of them were martial artists. Feng Shuo was wearing a dark red embroidered dragon robe with a black base, which made him look more noble. Chu Changping had just rushed back from the army and had not yet taken off his armor. Compared with Feng Shuo, he was much more burly.

Feng Shuo walked in front. When he stepped down the steps, heavy snow like goose feathers fell on his shoulders. Chu

Changping suddenly called him: "Prince, why did you do this today?"

Feng Shuo stopped, turned his head slightly and said: "It's for one person."

There was a cedar tree beside him, but his figure was taller than the cedar.

Although he had guessed it, Chu Changping was still shocked by his words and speechless for a long time. After a long time, he said: "Ayi has lost her mother, so I just treat them as my own children. Ayi has a hard life, and I only hope that they can live a peaceful life. I will never forget the great kindness of the prince to the Chu family, and I am willing to serve the prince as a dog and horse to repay him. What kind of woman can't you find? I only ask you to let Ayi go!"

Feng Shuo's lips curled up slowly, looking cold and gorgeous through the flying snow. He said: "If Madam Jiang hadn't passed away, I would have arranged for her to marry you through three matchmakers and six engagements. After Madam Jiang's death, I will send a matchmaker to propose marriage."

Feng Shuo walked away step by step on the snow, but Chu Changping was stunned on the spot.

When he was transporting the coffin back to the capital, the emperor wanted to punish the Chu family, and Feng Shuo secretly protected them. Chu Changping had already suspected Feng Shuo's motives, but at that time he thought Feng Shuo wanted to use Jiang Yanyi as a bargaining chip to expose the emperor's cruelty.

But he never thought that Feng Shuo protected the Chu family because he had a crush on Jiang Yanyi!

He was talking about three matchmakers and six betrothals, and marrying him as Jiang Yanyi's principal wife was really a bit too low.

Thinking of how Feng Shuo repeatedly entrusted him with important tasks in the army, allowing him to gain a firm foothold in Xizhou in a short period of time, Chu Changping felt quite complicated.

This is a wolf from the northern border that makes the man on the dragon throne worry and unable to sleep at night. Is it a blessing or a curse that Ayi has caught his eye?

The sound of porcelain plates breaking in the house interrupted Chu Changping's thoughts. He turned back to the house and saw Old Lady Chu chasing after Grandpa Chu with a cane. The table was a mess and many bowls and plates were broken on the floor.

"Rebellious son! You rebellious son! That's your own nephew! How could you be so cruel?" Old Lady Chu's chest rose and fell violently.

There was a lot of vegetable soup on Mr. Chu's robe, and he was very angry. He said, "It was not until the day I left the city that I found out that Su Niang didn't buy pain-relieving pills for Yan Gui. I thought it was just a pain-relieving pill, and planned to buy it somewhere else after leaving the capital, but I didn't know I couldn't buy it all the way!"

Old Master Chu said angrily, "Don't think I'm old and don't know what you two are thinking! Your mother and I are still breathing! The foundation of the Chu family, whether it's much or little, was saved by your mother and I when we were young. You two have been putting money into your own pockets all day long, and your mother and I didn't say anything to you because the children are grown up. Ping'er brought the child back, and the money spent on food and clothing was not spent secretly by your first and second wives, right? What kind of expression did you show her? You even withheld the money for buying medicine behind our backs!"

Master Chu couldn't help but said, "Dad! You and mom have been biased since we were young! You only have your younger sister in your eyes! Have you never thought about your son? I am the eldest in the family, and you have been ordering me around since I was young. I am not allowed to compete with my younger brothers and sisters for anything, and I have to give up the good things. I know that you and mom have never liked me, but what about my second brother? My second brother's wife asked to leave the Chu family because of this disaster. You only know that the brother and sister in the Jiang family lost their mother at a young age, but do you know that Jiabao also lost her mother?"

Master Chu looked resentful because of what Master Chu said, but he said nothing. He just picked up the wine pot and took a sip of wine.

After divorcing his first wife, he has become a drunkard.

Mr. Chu was stumped by his eldest son's question. He looked at his eldest son, then at his second son who was very decadent. He felt guilty for his dead daughter, and was upset that the family had become like this. He couldn't help but burst into tears.

Chu Changping came into the house and punched Mr. Chu directly, knocking him down on his back. When he got up, his mouth was broken.

Chu Changping said, "My second sister-in-law is afraid of trouble and asked for a divorce. How can I blame my younger sister? Even if my younger sister has nothing to do with it, she will still leave if something happens to the Chu family in the future!"

"I only have one question for you today. Was it your idea not to buy medicine for Yan Gui, or was it Liu's idea?"

His eldest sister-in-law didn't even scream, which showed that she was very angry.

Master Chu was frightened by Chu Changping's punch, and stammered, "She...she did it behind my back, and I only found out later..."

Chu Changping turned and walked out.

Master Chu said, "Chu Changping, do you still want to hit your sister-in-law?"

Chi Qing followed Feng Shuo's order, gave the medicine to Jiang Yanyi, and then wandered around the mansion.

The Chu family bought the former Hu family's house. The Chu family was in the flower shop business, and the mansion had a collection of many precious flowers, but now it was snowing heavily, so the flowers and plants should have been moved into the greenhouse.

When a servant said he would take him to the greenhouse to have a look, Chi Qing refused disrespectfully.

Liu was hiding in the dark, and she was delighted when she saw the servant leading Chi Qing to the greenhouse.

She tricked Chu Shubao into going to the flower house early in the morning, so that as long as Chi Qing went there, he would be able to meet Chu Shubao.

She thought that her daughter was not bad looking. Although her appearance was not as good as Jiang Yanyi, Jiang Yanyi had been sent to the military camp to be a prostitute. Once she entered such a place, no matter whether she was innocent or not, her reputation was ruined.

As long as the other party was not a fool, he would know what to choose.

How could she know that as soon as she left the flower house, Chu Shubao followed her and went back to her room to sleep.

Liu thought of the things Chi Qing had given to Jiang Yanyi before, and she was still worried, so she wanted to go to Jiang Yanyi to find out.

There were not enough people in the mansion, and Mrs. Chu wanted to match Jiang Yanyi with a maid to serve her, but Jiang Yanyi was used to doing everything by herself, so she declined.

There was no one guarding her residence, so Liu easily sneaked in.

Jiang Yanyi's door was tightly closed, but there seemed to be voices coming from inside.

Liu moved closer to the wall and pricked up her ears to listen carefully.

"Did you climb over the wall again?"

"...The military camp is busy, how could you get away?"

"...Uncle knows about us? He doesn't agree?"

The man's voice was too low for Liu to hear clearly, but she was sure that there was definitely a man in the room.

Liu was terrified.

In broad daylight, a young girl brought a man from outside into her own room!

Chi Qing was taken to the greenhouse by someone she assigned, and the person in the room was definitely not Chi Qing! This wild man seemed to be from the military camp. From Jiang Yanyi's tone, it seemed that Chu Changping didn't agree with them being together!

After some guesses, Liu thought that the wild man in the room should be a peasant in the military camp. His status was too low, so Chu Changping did not agree with him being with Jiang Yanyi.

She couldn't help but curse in her heart, Jiang Yanyi already had a mistress, why was he still staring at the prospective son-in-law she liked.

Liu's first reaction was to call someone to catch the adulterer, but she was afraid that the matter would get out of hand and ruin the reputation of her two daughters. Jiang Yanyi was not afraid, after all, she had no reputation to ruin.

Liu rolled her eyes and left Jiang Yanyi's residence lightly.

She called the housekeeper and said that there was a thief in the house, and she saw with her own eyes that the thief went to the place where Jiang Yanyi and his sister lived.

The housekeeper immediately gathered guards and surrounded the courtyard.

When Chu Changping walked into the backyard with a gloomy face, Liu saw his expression and thought that Chu Changping had already known that there was a peasant hiding in Jiang Yanyi's room. She fanned the flames and said, "Hey, third brother, you came at the right time. There's a thief in the house! I think he broke into Ayi's room!"
