The Doctor’s Three-Time Marriage

Duanmu Chen took a sip of the cold tea. The teacup was placed on the table, making a dull collision sound. His eyes dimmed and became a bit chilly. "What does grandpa know? Tell me everything this time. I can ignore Xiao." My family’s past was hidden from me.”

Xiao Qi's face turned ugly, "You misunderstood, not because I wanted to hide it from you, but because..."

Duanmu Chen said coldly, "Grandpa, now that things have happened, I just want to hear something useful."

Two years ago, Duanmu Chen respected Xiao Qi and hoped that the Xiao family could fully support him.

But this time, that time.

Xiao Mulian is dead, Duanmu Chen has full wings, and the Xiao family can only provide for him.

This is also the main reason why Xiao Qi no longer dares to hide it when Duanmu Chen presses him.

You know, this is not the first time Duanmu Chen has asked Xiao Qi about this matter, but he has been dealt with perfunctorily before.

Xiao Qi sighed deeply, "I am your grandson. If you were a few years older, I would have arranged a marriage for you and Mu Lian early. As long as the emperor does not object, it would be best to get closer."

Duanmu Chen remained silent. He just listened to this.

After all, he is Xiao Qi's direct grandson, and his biggest backer is the Xiao family.

Previously, in addition to him, the Xiao family also had a relationship with the Prince Faction through marriage.

Duanmu Chen is not stupid. He never thinks that it is because Xiao Mulian is older than him and it is inappropriate to marry him. Because Xiao Mulian can marry someone else and does not have to enter the royal family.

To put it bluntly, Xiao Qi is smart and needs to be prepared.

"The prince first fell in love with Mu Lian. We originally thought that the prince would ask for the imperial decree to grant a marriage, and the Xiao family had no choice, so they accepted it." Xiao Qi looked bitter, "Who knew that the imperial decree for marriage would really come? But he is not the crown prince, but the second prince."

"Why?" Duanmu Chen asked. He was in a period of keeping a low profile and did not have much presence in the royal family, and it was also to protect himself. Therefore, he knew what was happening in many things, but he did not know the reasons, and he did not dare to interfere casually, lest extraneous problems would cause harm to himself.

Xiao Qi sighed again, "Mu Lian met the second prince by chance in Changchun Garden. The second prince coveted her beauty and went to the palace to beg the Queen Mother and the Queen to marry her."

Duanmu Chen felt that it was not that simple, so he asked again, "Didn't the prince do anything?"

Xiao Qi shook his head, "After the imperial edict of marriage has been issued, what else can the prince do? We cannot let the emperor and the people of the world watch the two brothers snatching women."

"I remember that my cousin lived well after marrying Duanmu Ao." Duanmu Chen said.

Xiao Qi smiled bitterly, "Mu Lian also likes the prince in her heart. There are many women in the second prince's house, and Mu Lian is not living a good life. She is just forcing a smile in front of outsiders."

"What did my cousin and the prince do behind Duanmu Ao's back?" Duanmu Chen asked.

Xiao Qi's expression was ugly, "It's because the Xiao family's goddaughter was incompetent. Mu Lian was wronged by Duanmu Ao, and the prince went to flirt with her again, so... alas! Before she got married, Mu Lian often went to Changchun Garden to listen to plays, and the prince arranged for her to marry She had several trysts at Changchun Garden."

"How did grandpa know?" Duanmu Chen discovered the problem. It is impossible for Xiao Mulian to let anyone know about doing such a shameless thing, including her mother's family.

Duanmu Sheng was indeed a frequent visitor to Changchun Garden before, but he has not been there again in the past two years.

It sounds incredible that he and Xiao Mulian dared to go to Changchun Garden for a tryst and do unethical things. But Duanmu Chen knew that there were many such scandals within the royal family and nobility, and none of them could be seen in the light. Some people use all kinds of means to satisfy their own selfish desires and don't care about moral ethics at all.

"That day, Mu Lian suddenly returned to her parents' home. She looked very bad. She went to her mother and told her that she might be pregnant. This should have been a good thing, but Mu Lian was very scared and wanted to abort the child behind the back of the second prince. In the second prince's mansion Afraid of being discovered, she had no choice but to return to her parents' home." Xiao Qihan said with a face, "After being pressed, she said that considering the time, the child should be the prince's. If the second prince discovers her, she will die."

"You just help her beat the child?" Duanmu Chen asked.

Xiao Qi shook his head, "The second prince will come to take her back before it's too late."

"What happened next?" Duanmu Chen asked. The fact that Xiao Mulian was pregnant has been a secret until now. He didn't know it before.

Xiao Qi sighed, "I received news about Mu Lian again. It was someone from the Second Prince's Mansion who came to report the funeral, saying that Mu Lian was seriously ill and that she was dead. There were only three days in between. What happened in those three days, we don't know. I know. Because Mu Lian felt sorry for the second prince, the Xiao family felt guilty and did not dare to make a fuss, so they had no choice but to admit it."

"What's going on with Su Yuanzhou?" Duanmu Chen asked the key.

Xiao Qi frowned, shook his head and said, "I don't know why Su Yuanzhou was implicated and his whole family was gone. My guess is that the second prince discovered the matter between Mu Lian and the prince and couldn't tolerate her, but she died suddenly In the Second Prince's Mansion, I couldn't explain it, so I asked Su Yuanzhou to take the blame. Naturally, you can't hire an imperial doctor for this kind of thing. Su Yuanzhou has good medical skills and a good reputation, but he is just a commoner, so it is best to deal with it."

Duanmu Chen knew that was not the case. I learned from Uncle Huang that Su Yuanzhou was exterminated because he knew the secrets of the nobles.

If what Xiao Qi said is true, then Su Yuanzhou was probably unlucky enough to bump into Duanmu Sheng and Xiao Mulian's tryst, and even accidentally learned that Xiao Mulian was pregnant with Duanmu Sheng's child.

Duanmu Chen didn't intend to share this with Xiao Qi, "Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Xiao Qi sighed deeply, "That's all I know about Mu Lian. I don't know about the others, and I don't dare to ask the prince and the second prince. I didn't tell you the truth at the beginning, not because I didn't trust you. It was a scandal in the past. I don’t want to mention it anymore. Secondly, it’s to protect you. At that time, your mother was ostracized by the Queen Mother and the Empress in the palace, and the Emperor didn’t think highly of you. What can you do if you know that? What if you do something impulsively, Prince? He and the second prince will not allow you to live."

"Grandpa worked hard, I understand." Duanmu Chen said this, but he knew very well in his heart that Xiao Qi was just coaxing him.

To Duanmu Chen, the Xiao family is just a chess piece, and it only deserves to be a chess piece. The so-called sincerity is neither there nor between them.

Xiao Qi said seriously, "Do you really want to win over that Su Liang? What are you going to do?"

"I need to think about this again." Duanmu Chen said, "Other than grandpa, uncle and aunt, who else knows about my cousin's pregnancy?"

Xiao Qi shook his head, "No more. The maids and women who served Mu Lian disappeared after her death. They must have been dealt with by the second prince. At first, I was worried that the second prince would attack the Xiao family, but in the end He didn't do anything. But there's no need to do anything. How could such scandal spread out of the Xiao family?"

…

Duanmu Chen left Prime Minister Xiao's Mansion and returned to the Fourth Prince's Mansion, and asked Chang An to see where Su Liang was.

At this time, Su Liang and Ning Jing were looking through the medical books borrowed from Huguo Temple. They first read through them in general to see the general content, and then decided whether it was worth copying.

There were five books in total, Su Liang flipped through three, and Ning Jing read two.

Both of them felt that these books were treasures and they should be copied and read slowly.

"Let's each pick a book to copy first." Su Liang said, "We will decide later on."

Ning Jing nodded in agreement.

The two of them each chose the one they found most useful at the moment, and put the other three books away first.

In the next room, Nian Jincheng was eating the vegetarian meal that Yan Yu brought back from Huguo Temple.

Nian Jincheng knew that this could not be because Ning Jing and Su Liang were thinking about him, and it must have been prepared by Yan Yu, so he thanked her.

"You're welcome, we are friends, aren't we?" Yan Yu smiled.

Nian Jincheng nodded seriously, "Yes."

"When you learn the art of disguise, you can go outside. Su Liang said that he will teach me self-defense. I will also ask you to teach me martial arts in the future. Although I may not be able to learn it well, I will try my best." Yan Yu said.

"I will try my best." Nian Jincheng twitched his lips.

Nian Jincheng was eating, and Yan Yu was thinking of something to say to break the silence, so he mentioned the new friends he met today and praised the two young masters of the Lin family for their talents.

"Miss Qin and Mr. Lin are truly a match made in heaven." Yan Yu sighed sincerely.

Nian Jincheng agreed, "Indeed."

In fact, when Yan Yu saw Lin Xueqing and Qin Yujin, he was lying if he said he didn't envy them. Whenever she had the choice, she didn't want to become a loner, fighting with relatives, managers, and strangers with ill intentions. She always had to be wary of someone lying to her and harming her.

Yan Yu felt that Qin Yujin and Lin Xueqing were enjoying life, while she herself just wanted to work hard to live a good life.

But envy is envy, Yan Yu also knows that everyone has his own destiny. The person she truly admires is Su Liang, who is also her role model.

Hearing Su Liang calling them, Yan Yu and Nian Jincheng passed over.

Ning Jing went to the study to copy some books. Su Liang taught Yan Yu and Nian Jincheng the art of disguise, first demonstrating it on Nian Jincheng's face.

Nian Jincheng originally had a handsome and tough face, but after Su Liang changed his appearance, he became ordinary.

Yan Yu looked at it and made some comments, "I think it's a bit strange. His appearance and temperament don't quite match."

Su Liang nodded, "Indeed. Come on."

Yan Yu was stunned, "I don't know how to do it yet."

"I said, you do it." Su Liang encouraged Yan Yu to get started, "You're welcome, he's very thick-skinned and can't be broken."

Nian Jincheng: ...are you sure Su Liang is not swearing?

So, Su Liang told Yan Yu what to do, and Yan Yu imitated Su Liang's techniques to disguise Nian Jincheng. He made some mistakes a few times, which made Nian Jincheng's face asymmetrical and looked funny. She Nian Jincheng and Su Liang were both laughing, and Nian Jincheng sat silently, thinking that he was just a sculpture...

After Yan Yu finally finished it, she was very satisfied with it, and Su Liang also thought it was good.

Nian Jincheng found a bronze mirror and showed it to himself, "What do you think?"

Nian Jincheng looked at the unfamiliar face in the bronze mirror. He was a handsome man with a refreshing temperament. It was far from his original appearance, but he still felt a little familiar.

"Do you feel like you've seen this face somewhere?" Su Liangxiao asked.

Nian Jincheng nodded, "I think I've seen it before, but I can't remember it."

Su Liang pulled Yan Yu closer and stood side by side with the bronze mirror, "Look, do they look alike?"

Yan Yu and Nian Jincheng looked at each other and were stunned.

"It looks like me?" Yan Yu himself was surprised, "I didn't deliberately imitate my own face."

"People tend to like faces that are similar to themselves." Su Liang chuckled, "It's normal. This is the look you are most accustomed to and comfortable with. I think it looks good. Xiaonian, you can use this face for the time being."

Yan Yu also smiled, "It's really unintentional. If you don't like it, you can disguise yourself."

Nian Jincheng looked at his face in the bronze mirror again and shook his head, "There's nothing I don't like, so let's leave it at that."

"Then can I tell the outside world that this is my long-lost half-brother? Give him a new identity?" Yan Yu asked.

Su Liang thinks it's okay.

Unexpectedly, Nian Jincheng objected, "I don't want to be anyone's brother anymore."

His two biological sisters left a huge psychological shadow on him.

Yan Yu heard about this and said she was just joking.

"In that case, you can become sworn brothers and sisters like me and Ning Jing." Su Liang suggested.

Yan Yu blinked, "But he doesn't want to be an older brother, so, sworn brother and sister? I would like to be an older sister."

Nian Jincheng looked a little embarrassed, "You are all younger than me."

"That's not important." Su Liang shook his head, "If you don't object, it's settled."

Yan Yu laughed, "To be honest, I don't want to have a brother anymore."

Her biological brother Yan Feng has a bad character, and her illegitimate half-brother Yan Wu is even more cruel and merciless. Yan Wen was accused by Yan Yu's relatives of plotting to seize the Yan family's property. After helping Yan Yu get the Yan family's business back on track, he stopped interfering in the Yan family's affairs and lived the life he wanted.

"Xiao Nian, call me sister." Su Liang half-joked.

Nian Jincheng shook his head, "I can't scream."

"It doesn't matter. Just think of a pseudonym for yourself." Yan Yu said.

Nian Jincheng frowned, "I can't think of anything suitable at the moment."

"Then let's call him Yu Yan." Su Liang said. Yan Yu's name has the same pronunciation backwards, which saves trouble.

Su Liang taught the two people the art of disguise and asked them to practice using each other's faces.

Yan Yu was very generous, but Nian Jincheng felt a little embarrassed. He didn't dare to make a move at first, and Yan Yu urged him, saying that it was okay, they were all friends, and for the sake of business, don't think too much.

Su Liang was about to prepare more disguise medicine when she heard Chang'an's voice coming from outside.

Nian Jincheng immediately stood up and hid behind the screen.

Su Liang went out and saw Chang An standing in the courtyard, "Miss Su is at home, that's great. My master would like to invite Miss Su to visit the house."

Su Liang's heart moved, "Has the Fourth Prince visited Prime Minister Xiao's Mansion today?"

Chang An nodded, "I went to Xiao's house."

"Okay. I'll go there tonight." Su Liang thought that there must be something to the matter.

…

In the dead of night, Su Liang entered the Fourth Prince's Mansion by a familiar route.

She knew that Ningjing was following secretly, but did not show up.

When he saw Duanmu Chen, there was a pot and two cups in front of him.

"His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is looking for me. It seems that things are making progress?" Su Liang got straight to the point.

Duanmu Chen poured two glasses of wine and handed one over.

Su Liang caught it and put it down, "I don't like drinking."

Duanmu Chen smiled and said, "Are you afraid that I will poison you?"

Su Liang shook his head, "I just don't like it, it doesn't taste good."

"Forget it." Duanmu Chen remembered that after knowing Su Liang for so long, she rarely drank. After having a drink, he spoke again and told Su Liang the information he got from Xiao Qi today.

The two have been working together so far, and they can basically communicate without talking nonsense.

After hearing the last part, Su Liang's face darkened, "People from the royal family have done shameful things. In order to cover it up, do they have to bury innocent people with them?"

Duanmu Chen sighed, "Now that things have happened, my grandfather should not dare to lie to me again. Although I still don't know how your grandfather was involved, I sympathize with him and the rest of your family members who died in vain. What are you going to do?"

Su Liang's eyes were cold, "What does His Highness the Fourth Prince want me to do?"

Duanmu Chen lowered his eyes to pour the wine, "You don't need to tell me what result I want, you will understand. But I don't care what you want to do, as long as you don't involve me."

…

Su Liang left the Fourth Prince's Mansion, returned home, entered through the back door, stopped in the garden, and called Ning Jing.

Tingjing appeared behind her.

Su Liang turned around and looked at him, "Is there a black mist between my eyebrows?"

Ning Jing shook his head, "You want to kill someone?"

Su Liang nodded, "It seems that God's will doesn't want you to stop it, that's great. I want to hear what Duanmu Ao has to say, and it's time."
