The Splendid Medical Concubine: The Journey of a Concubine

Chapter 55 Sister 055

After seeing Qin Yao off, Gu Jue rode Qin Yao's brown horse back to the capital.

When passing by Jishi Hall, Gu Jue subconsciously glanced at the medical center.

At this glance, he saw a familiar blue-green figure. Chu Qianchen was talking to Dr. Liu with his back to the door of the medical clinic.

Gu Jue's eyes paused on her slender back for a moment, then he rode away.

Chu Qianchen in Jishi Hall felt something keenly and turned to look at the street. The street was empty except for pedestrians coming and going in twos and threes.

Chu Qianchen: "..."

Chu Qianchen came to Jishitang today to deliver Shiquan ointment for Qiniang.

She gave Shiquan ointment to Dr. Liu, gave instructions on how to use it, and then left.

After leaving Jishi Hall, she went shopping in the next street and bought some story books and a few boxes of snacks and candies, planning to take them back to comfort Chu Yunmu.

When entering the house through the corner gate, Chu Qianchen also gave a box of the horseshoe cakes he bought to the woman guarding the door, and gave him an extra silver coin.

"Thank you, Miss Second."

This extra reward surprised the gatekeeper, and her eyes narrowed with laughter.

This silver coin is worth one or two, which is equivalent to her monthly salary for half a year. There are also these Jinshiji pastries, which are expensive and hard to buy. She can just take them back to feed her grandchildren.

"Second girl, just now Princess Jingjun has arrived." The mother-in-law remembered something and casually reminded her, "You'd better go back to Wanyan Courtyard quickly."

Chu Qianchen thought for a moment and then suddenly realized who the mother-in-law was talking about.

Princess Shen Wan of Jingjun County was born in the Duke of Mu's palace, and was the younger sister of her aunt, the Shen family.

Chu Qianchen smiled and thanked the other party for his kindness.

Although she has never met this nominal aunt, she has heard that Princess Jingjun hates concubines and concubine children, so her aunt would not let her go to pay her respects.

Chu Qianchen walked slowly towards Wanyan Courtyard.

Princess Jingjun also just arrived at the Hou Mansion. At this moment, she is sitting in the main hall of the main courtyard, holding a seven or eight-year-old girl in her arms.

"Awan," Mrs. Shen smiled gently, pushed the tea cup in front of her, and changed the subject, "Why are you here today?"

Hearing this, Shen Wan's bright face showed a smile and said: "Sister, do you know that a miracle doctor has appeared in the capital recently."

Mrs. Shen raised her eyebrows, "Miracle doctor?"

She had never heard of it.

While coaxing the little girl to eat rose cake, Shen Wan said: "Four days ago, the third and fourth young masters of Zhongyong's Mansion had a fight in the street. The fourth young master Yun had his neck vein cut and his blood spilled all over the floor. He was killed on the spot. He died, but was later revived by a miraculous doctor. It was said that the miraculous doctor only used three injections, and Master Yun's bleeding stopped and he regained his breath."

In order to seek medical treatment, Shen Wan also sent people to find out a lot of rumors about that day and told Ms. Shen all.

Mrs. Shen understood and looked at Qiniang in Shen Wan's arms. Qiniang's face was smeared with dark green ointment. The ointment exuded a light herbal fragrance, which was fresh and pleasant.

"Awan, did you take Qiniang to seek medical treatment?" asked Ms. Shen.

Shen Wan nodded, hugged her daughter in her arms distressedly, and cheered up again, saying, "The miracle doctor said that Qiniang's face can be cured." Her daughter's face had been injured for so long, and she took her to see countless doctors. Only the little miracle doctor said "it can be cured", and Shen Wan was willing to believe it no matter what the result was.

"This ointment was given by the miracle doctor, and he told Qiniang to use it for three days first." Shen Wan continued, "Let me go to Jishi Hall to get new ointment this afternoon, and I will take Qiniang to see you. "

In fact, Shen Wan only heard about the big quarrel between Shen and Chu Lingxiao last night. She was afraid that her eldest sister would be wronged, so she came over to support her and also explained to her.

According to her, this marriage should not have happened in the first place, but her grandfather decided to get married because he cared about the life-saving grace of the old marquis.

Since the eldest sister married into the Hou family, she has respected her parents-in-law and raised her children. What has she not done well to allow Chu Lingxiao to show off the power of the Marquis in front of her eldest sister for the sake of a cheap concubine?

"Qiniang, come here, let my aunt carry you." Mrs. Shen took Qiniang from Shen Wan's arms and carefully wiped the crumbs of rose cake on her hands with a handkerchief.

The dark green paste covered the scar on Qiniang's left face, making the other half of her face appear whiter, tenderer, and more delicate, with a skin as radiant as snow.

Qiniang's eyes were dull and her expression was dull. As Shen held her, she just stared at Shen blankly, making no noise or fuss.

Mrs. Shen sighed softly and advised: "Awan, don't feel too guilty. It's been a year since this happened."

Having said that, as a mother, if her daughter was harmed by someone, Shen would be willing to fight that person desperately.

However, Qiniang has come back, and for Qiniang's sake, these days have to go on, and her sister is torturing herself now, which makes her, a sister, feel sad for her sister.

"Yes, it's been a year." Shen Wan twitched the corners of her lips and said lightly, "Let's not mention this anymore. Big sister, where is Sister Huang?"

"I've already sent someone to call her." Shen said with a smile, "She knows you're coming, so she will definitely come right away."

Chu Qianhuang and Shen Wan got along well. Shen Wan had no children for several years after their marriage, and she always cared for Chu Qianhuang as her own daughter.

Mrs. Shen said again: "Sister Chen, who is under my knees, do you want to meet her too?"

This sentence was said very naturally, and there was no grudge against Chu Qianchen because of Aunt Cui's interference a few days ago.

"Forget it." Shen Wan frowned in disgust and said angrily, "I remember she was born by that woman, right? Didn't you just beat her own mother a few days ago? She couldn't figure out what was wrong with her. I hate you."

"Sister, you just have such a good nature. These **** are all incompetent. If you treat them well, they will just think you are weak and crawl on top of you!"

"Listen to my advice, don't always be unprepared for others and raise your daughter for others. When the time comes, you will raise a white-eyed wolf!"

Mrs. Shen sighed slightly and said seriously: "Sister Chen is a good child. If it weren't for her, I might not be able to save my brother Mu."

Shen Wan curled her lips indifferently, "No matter how good she is, she crawled out of other women's bellies. Big sister, you can't expect her not to look towards her own mother, but towards you."

"..." Mrs. Shen frowned, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Shen Wan thought she had figured it out, and added: "If you like these concubines, just keep them as kittens and puppies. It is their destiny to make you happy."

"But you always have to be careful. After all, she has a biological mother. Mother and daughter are connected by blood and heart."

Shen Wan felt that her eldest sister had a really good temper.

Mrs. Shen lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then suddenly said: "Awan, do you think there are mothers who don't like their children?"
