Shen Qingwu's simple question made the gentle smile on Xie Yuening's face fade.
"Can you tell from my face?" Xie Yuening obviously didn't believe it and looked alert.
Although she thought the man looked kind, she didn't dare to gamble since her daughter was involved.
Shen Qingwu raised his finger and pointed at the place of Yin Tang, "You have a thick black energy here, which is emitted from the Children's Palace."
"You can find out what you are talking about by asking around in Qingyun Lane." Xie Yuening began to be on guard.
Everyone in the alley knew that her daughter had been going to the clinic frequently these days.
"Who are you and what are your intentions?" Dong Tao stood up directly.
The hot water poured down, and the fragrance of tea filled the air. Shen Qingwu poured two cups for each of them, "I am the one who can save your young lady."
"How to prove it?" Xie Yuening was alert, but she was unwilling to give up her daughter's chance to get treatment.
Because of their daughter, she and her father were stubborn for six years. Last month, she went home to ask for the imperial physician, but was turned away. Later, she knelt three times in a row, but her father remained unmoved.
Both her mother and younger brother were under the supervision of her father and were ordered not to help her.
"In fact, as long as you divorce your husband and take your daughter back to the Xie family, your father will probably help you to enter the palace to invite the imperial physician." Shen Qingwu took a sip of tea.
"Is winning or losing in one breath more important than your daughter's life?" Shen Qingwu looked at the man who lowered his head and remained silent.
"Yes, Miss, this girl finally said something right." Dong Tao sat back down and looked at Xie Yuening seriously, "The master and the mistress will forgive you."
Xie Yuening just shook her head and said nothing.
"Your stubbornness has caused suffering to the child. Drink some tea to warm yourself up. After that, I will go home with you and treat your daughter." Shen Qingwu could see Xie Yuening's inner struggle and sighed helplessly.
"If your daughter doesn't get treatment today, she may not survive tonight. Hurry up." Shen Qingwu urged, looking at the person who didn't move.
What she saw in Xie Yuening's future was what happened tonight.
The moon was high in the sky, and on the deserted street, Xie Yuening hurriedly carried her convulsing daughter out to seek medical treatment, but the doctor was helpless.
The reason why it was certain tonight was because the night sky represented the time, and Shen Qingwu seemed to have understood some methods of confirming the time.
But now she has doubts about predicting the future.
She needed further confirmation, so she chose Xie Yuening, whose forehead was covered with thick black energy that could not be concealed.
"Don't curse my young lady!" Dong Tao got angry again.
During these years in Qingyun Lane, all the well-educated and well-mannered temperament that Xie Yuening had carefully cultivated in her when she was young disappeared.
She knew clearly that only if she was wild enough could she protect the young lady.
She didn't mind living a barbaric life just like when she was young, fighting for food among the refugees, as long as she could protect the people she wanted to protect.
Xie Yuening grabbed Dong Tao's arm with her cold hand, her face pale, "Dong Tao, don't be rude."
The gentleness and calmness that she pretended to be when she was out completely collapsed at this moment.
She is a mother who has abandoned her daughter once and cannot abandon her again.
Dong Tao also held Xie Yuening's hand in hers.
Their eyes met, and they both understood in their hearts that from the moment they tried to smile and followed this person to the teahouse, they had already been holding on to hope and silently accepted everything that would happen next.
Xie Yuening drank the tea in her cup, ignoring the fact that it was still scalding. "If you can save my daughter, I, Xie Yuening, will go through fire and water for you in the future."
When she was about to leave, Xie Yuening took out a small mirror she carried with her trembling hands and carefully applied a layer of rouge on her face to make herself look a little more rosy.
Her mother, A-Mo, was the smartest and most sensible one. She could guess her mother's physical condition from her mother's expression, and then she smiled and comforted her, enduring the pain: "Mom, don't be afraid. A-Mo is fine. She's in good health."
…
Qingyun Lane.
This is the alley where ordinary officials in Kyoto City live.
Even though Sun Qiyun was the top martial arts champion, and had received some rewards and spent most of his family wealth, he could only buy a small courtyard with two entrances here.
Compared to Kaijiang Road where the General's Mansion is located, this place has more of a down-to-earth feel.
Many old ladies in officials' families would sit on a bench at the door and chat about family matters with the old woman next door across the alley, which was slightly wider than a carriage.
Xie Yuening seems to be quite popular here?
As she walked along, everyone would greet her, but they would address her as "Qiyun's wife..."
"Qiyun's wife, are you back?"
Xie Yuening smiled and nodded, "I'm back. Has Auntie eaten yet?"
"Daughter-in-law Qiyun, who is this beautiful woman from? Is she from your Xie family? Did your father agree to hire an imperial physician to treat your A-Mo?"
Xie Yuening was embarrassed and didn't say anything, and her pace quickened a bit.
"Daughter-in-law Qiyun, I think your Ah Mo's illness is a bit serious. You have consulted most of the doctors in Kyoto City. It would be best if you could have another child as soon as possible. A son would be the best."
"I'm telling you, old woman, to shut up!" Dong Tao stopped and yelled back.
The man shrank back and didn't say anything. Dong Tao was known to be difficult to deal with. She knew a little Kung Fu, and when she got angry, this little girl would really hit people.
"Our Grand Marshal is truly heartless. Even when his own granddaughter is in this state, he still refuses to help."
"What's the point of being the top martial arts champion? There's already another one in the past three years, but he still can't save his daughter."
As the few people walked away, the discussions behind them became quieter, but did not stop.
Shen Qingwu didn't expect that this small alley seemed so long when walked in.
"Please forgive me, young lady." When she reached the door, Xie Yuening took a deep breath and then looked at Shen Qingwu apologetically.
"Wait a minute." When Xie Yuening was about to push the door, Dong Tao raised her hand to stop her.
Dong Tao walked up to Shen Qingwu and said, "I don't care who you are or where you come from. Although my young lady and I are desperate today, if you can cure A-Mo, if you can ever be of any use to me, just give me a call and I, Dong Tao, will be happy to die for you. But if A-Mo gets hurt in your hands..."
Dong Tao suddenly raised her hand, and the dagger in her sleeve fell into her palm. A cold light flashed, and murderous intent filled the air. "If A Mo gets into trouble in your hands, don't blame me, Dong Tao, for taking your life!"
"Girl, it's not too late for you to regret now." Xie Yuening did not scold Dong Tao this time, but looked at Shen Qingwu calmly.
If something really happened to her Amo, she couldn't guarantee what she would do.
Shen Qingwu's response to them was to simply raise his hand and push open the wooden door.
"Mom, you're back?" A young child was playing with water in the yard. When he heard the door open, he looked over happily, his smile brighter than the sunshine.
Sun Yimo trotted over happily, showing no sign of any discomfort at all.
