Hello Chang’an

Chapter 51 Do I have to come in person?

 In order to inquire about the news, the sword boy has not returned to the general's residence for two days.

At this moment, he was walking among the alleys of the market. He was dressed in simple and shabby clothes, with a few drops of mud on his trouser legs. He looked as if he had just returned from carrying a hundred bags of sandbags from the dock.

And because he was born with a face that was too common and unmemorable, he ran out to play when he was young and mingled with the children. His father was not sure who his son was for a while. He had this advantage, so he became the sword boy. He knew that he was born to be sneaky... no, a good piece of information for investigation and tracking.

For the past two days, he secretly squatted at the entrance of the alley that the Yao family must pass through when entering and exiting the house, keeping an eye on the Yao family's movements.

And because he had already figured out the composition of the Yao family, the sword boy was able to quickly target some people.

Early that morning, the sword boy noticed a female envoy walking out of the back door of Yao's house. She closed the door very cautiously, as if she didn't want anyone to know.

The sword boy then followed him secretly until he saw the female envoy walking into a medical hall.

After a while, the sword boy came out of darkness and walked in as if he was looking for a doctor.

Seeing the female envoy entering the front hall, she was led to the side behind a screen by a waiter. Just as the sword boy was about to follow, he was stopped by the waiter who had just come out from behind the screen: "Brother, please stay! "

"I'm here to seek medical treatment too!" The sword boy pointed at the screen, showing a certain amount of honesty.

"But you can't go in." The waiter whispered: "There are all female patients here. If you want to seek medical treatment for a family member, you have to wait here while our doctor prescribes the prescription for the female patient. You go in again.”

The sword boy said "Oh" and nodded.

"Then sit down for a moment." The clerk greeted and went to work in front of the medicine cabinet.

The sword boy found a stool and sat down, putting his hands on his knees. He seemed to be waiting in a daze, but in fact he had pricked up his ears to pay attention to the sounds behind the screen.

The voice was not very high, and ordinary people couldn't hear what was being said. However, he had been practicing martial arts since he was a child and had a keen hearing. If he listened attentively at this moment, he could distinguish between seven, seven and eight eight.

"...Still not getting better?" A voice that sounded a little older asked about the condition of the patient in detail. It should be the doctor in this medical clinic.

The female envoy was obviously here to get the right medicine for the patient. After answering the doctor's questions one by one, her voice gradually became choked up: "...My aunt is the most miserable! Dr. Zeng, you are watching my aunt grow up." The older one also knows that she has always been kind to others. When she entered the Yao family, outsiders only envied her good luck, but who knows how much suffering my aunt has suffered over the years? "

"A good-looking person was tortured to the point of losing half his life by those damned decoctions!"

"She is from the Pei family, so our aunt can't afford to offend her. She just wanted to live a peaceful life, and never thought about fighting for anything... But who would have thought that she met a snake-hearted person who is not intolerant at all!"

The doctor sighed deeply: "Those evasive decoctions...are 30% evasive and 70% poisonous. If you drink them for several years, your iron-clad body will not be able to withstand such damage."

"How dare you not drink it? When I brought it back, I just said it was for health. Then the dowry around Mr. Pei would have to watch my aunt drink it in person before she would leave!"

"The previous Aunt Lu... somehow managed to dodge the decoction, but ended up with one dead body and two lives. Who can do her justice? Master Lang was also tortured by that poisonous woman. In the past two years, I have been busy with official matters, and it is common for me not to return home for three to five days... Who cares about our aunt's life or death? "

"What kind of magnanimity does the noble clan have... She is simply a poisonous and crazy woman!"

"I can't give birth to a legitimate son, so I'm suspicious of this and that. Let alone an heir, I won't even leave a way for others to survive!"

"I'm always looking at people's faces in the house. There are Pei's spies everywhere, and the old lady doesn't dare to offend her. I only dare to tell you these words..." The female envoy said, sobbing: "Right now, my aunt doesn't ask for anything else, I just ask you to save my aunt's life! After one winter day, her health is getting worse and worse..."

The old doctor comforted her with a few words, but also felt helpless: "Now that things have happened, I can only try another recipe..."

"Then I'll give you a prescription..."

The sound of paper and pen and ink rustling was heard, and the female envoy suppressed her sobs.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the female servant came out with her head lowered, took the prescription to the clerk, took the medicine, and left without further delay.

The sword boy then stood up from the stool.

The old doctor walked out from behind the screen, looked him up and down, and asked thoughtfully: "Is this little brother here..."

Knowing that the doctor and the female servant were old acquaintances, the sword boy couldn't help but turn around and leave, lest anyone notice anything strange, so he said with a silly face: "Of course I'm here to see you, doctor!"

The old doctor said: "But we only see gynecology here."

"?" The good psychological quality made the sword boy open his mouth: "I'm here for my mother-in-law!"

The old man understood clearly: "Then you still need to ask your Majesty to come by yourself, so that I can take her pulse and check for symptoms."

The sword boy seemed confused: "Do I have to come in person?"

"This... it's not impossible for me to come to see a doctor." The old doctor noticed his clothes and explained: "You only need to pay more for the consultation."

"Oh, okay, I understand..." The sword boy scratched his head and said in confusion: "I will go home and discuss it with my father."

Seeing him leaving in a daze, the old doctor shook his head and sighed: "This woman... is miserable."

...Jian Tong left the hospital and went all the way back to Xingningfang while concealing himself from others. He put on the robes he had hidden in advance in the alley and returned to his usual appearance before returning to the General's Mansion.

He reported everything he had gained in the past two days.

"According to this, the death and illness of Yao Yi's two concubines were all caused by Pei?" Chang Sui Ning frowned slightly.

Sword boy: "Just listening to what the female envoy said, it's true."

The population of the general's mansion is simple. Chang Kuo has not remarried since his wife died. Chang Sui'an, who has never been exposed to the secret intrigues in the back house, finds it difficult to imagine: "This Pei family is too cruel and jealous! And Wei Yao, Don’t you even care about it?”

"The Pei family is powerful, and Yao Yi has not taken a concubine for many years. I guess he has no choice but to really break up with her..." Chang Kuo frowned and sighed, but did not say anything deeply.

Chang Suining could understand what he had not finished saying.

On the one hand, it is helpless, but on the other hand, it is not that important to the life and death of the concubine. A lot of tolerance and disagreement are mostly due to the fact that the real interests and bottom line have not been touched.

And what's wrong with these two concubines? Just because they were caught between this couple, they caused all these disasters.

The only thing Yao Yi has that is self-aware and his conscience is still intact is that he has never taken concubines again.

"Yu Gong's reply said that Pei was engaged to a member of the Jin family, but then the husband of the Jin family made a ridiculous plan to marry his concubine as the main wife. For this reason, Pei and Jin The quarrel at home was extremely ugly, so the marriage was canceled due to this..."

Looking at the reply letter in his hand, Chang Suining thought thoughtfully and said: "The year after the divorce, Pei Min fell in love with the new scholar Yao Yi, which led to this marriage... The divorce back then was ultimately disgraceful. They might not be able to find a good son-in-law, so the Pei family had no choice but to do the next best thing and marry their legitimate daughter to Yao Yi. "

"If this is the case, then Mrs. Pei is probably unwilling in her heart." She speculated: "If you are unwilling at the beginning, and if something goes wrong after getting married, it will inevitably lead to resentment -"

Chang Kuo nodded, frowning and said: "These noble people come from noble families, and they love respectability the most. The word respectability is as big as the sky!"

"She probably thought that she had not been able to give birth to a legitimate son in a decent marriage, and she felt that having children was not decent. And if a concubine in the family gave birth to a bastard, it would be tantamount to trampling on her face. Therefore, We will never allow such a thing to happen -" Chang Suining guessed: "And what she did shows her character. Yao Yi saw it in his eyes, and over the years, they must have separated from each other. "

And not being loved by her husband will probably make Pei feel "disgraceful", which will breed more resentment.

Listening to what his sister and father said, Chang Sui'an, who only cared about his sister's safety, said puzzledly: "She is devoted to these grudges, but these are the Yao family's family affairs, what does they have to do with outsiders?"

"You are on to something!" Chang Kuo pondered for a moment and said, "If the person who secretly dealt Suining a cruel blow is indeed the Pei family, then this matter is worth thinking about deeply..."

To understand a person's character flaws and the most taboo areas in daily life is to analyze the person's motivation for killing someone -

"As Suining said, what Mr. Pei did after marrying into the Yao family was inseparable from an 'unwillingness' and a 'disgraceful' attitude. It can be said to be a blinder, and in the final analysis, it all revolves around The person she married, Yao Yi, comes from such a source..."

While Chang Kuo was deep in thought, Chang Sui'an suddenly stood up and exclaimed: "Does Mrs. Pei suspect that Ning Ning is the illegitimate daughter of Master Yao?"

The hall fell silent.

Chang Sui Ning and Chang Kuo both looked at Chang Sui An.

"You kid..." Chang Kuo was stunned for a moment, and then stood up from his chair suddenly: "Why did your mind suddenly spin so fast this time!"

Not only does he speak quickly, but what is even more valuable is that he is not mentally retarded in speaking!

Did his kid secretly go to the Rejuvenation Pavilion to prescribe medicine?

Chang Suining also looked a little impressed.

This sentence can be regarded as an enlightenment... Although the truth may not be completely consistent, it opens up the idea.

"I..." Chang Sui'an felt a little embarrassed and said modestly, "I just made a casual guess."

The support for this casual guess lies in...

He is really afraid that someone will take away his sister!

This is the vigilance engraved in the bones of young people since childhood.

"Dad, Ning Ning can't be a child of the Yao family, right?"

Chang Sui'an stared at her father closely, walking on thin ice, and started some inhumane attacks on his appearance: "I think that Yao Tingwei is average-looking, so he shouldn't be able to give birth to a daughter as good-looking as Ning Ning!"

This question stopped Chang Kuo.

Chang Sui'an's heart was in his throat when he saw this, and cold sweat broke out: "Dad, please say something!"
