The Doctor's Concubine: Kick the Scumbag King and I Want to Be a Dandy Girl in the Capital

After numerous rounds of screening, Xiu Luoran's sister-in-law Yi Kezhen chose the young master of the Xu family for Xiu Yiran to look at.

Mr. Xu was named Xu Hongxi, and he was the eldest son of Xu Xian, a scholar in the cabinet.

Xu Hongxi is handsome, mature, steady, elegant, and loves reading.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will most likely pass the next competition.

Xu Xian and his wife lived in harmony and did not take concubines. Mrs. Xu was gentle and generous, a rare kind person.

No matter from which perspective, this is a good marriage, and Xiu is naturally satisfied.

After understanding it, Xiu Luoran also felt that it was very good. No wonder Han Jingrao wanted to obstruct it.

Xiu Luoran thought that there was no rush to deal with Han Jingrao, and it was more important to protect Xiu Yiran's marriage first.

Second uncle Xiu Yuanshan's official position is only slightly lower than Xu Xian's, so the two families can be considered to be well matched, which is impeccable.

Xiu Yiran is of superior appearance and demeanor. If Han Jingrao wants to sabotage her, she can only start with Xiu Yiran's character.

Xiu Luoran thought that maybe Han Jingrao would talk about something from her.

When it comes to Xiu Luoran's name, there are probably few people in the entire capital who don't know him.

Although no one dared to say anything bad about Xiu Luoran in front of her, she also knew what people thought of her.

What a waste! He is uneducated, lazy, and spends money like water.

She was unfaithful to her husband and was not decent, often visiting gambling houses and brothels.

What a legitimate daughter of a marquis, actually she is just a female slut and so on.

Han Jingrao’s favorite thing to do is to stab people in the back.

She might contact the Xu family directly or indirectly through various channels and tactfully tell them how bad Xiu Yiran is.

She has a cousin like Xiu Luoran, and she follows her example, this and that...

Xiu Luoran thought to herself, you like to take a roundabout way, but I want to be open about it.

After Xiu Luoran finished packing, he went to the Xu Mansion to visit Madam Xu.

On this day, Xu Xian was on vacation at home, and the couple was discussing next year's competition with Xu Hongxi.

The servant came to report: "Master, the daughter of Zhenxi Marquis's family, Xiu Luoran, is here to visit Madam."

Mrs. Xu was surprised and asked Xu Xian:

"Master, the young lady that Hongxi is looking for is from the second branch of the Zhenxi Marquis's mansion, right?"

Xu Hongxi nodded: "Yes, mother."

"Then why is the daughter of their eldest family here? Doesn't she want to marry us?"

Xu Xian shook her head: “Madam, it’s definitely not what you think.

We haven't proposed marriage yet. If they don't want to get married, they can just tell the matchmaker and they don't have to make a special trip.

Besides, even if they wanted to explain, they shouldn’t have sent her.”

Mrs. Xu smiled: "Yes, I thought too much."

Xu Hongxi: "Why is Miss Xiu here? Just ask her in and you'll know."

Xu Xian said hurriedly: "Please come in quickly."

Xiu Luoran walked in and greeted the three members of the Xu family one by one. After sitting down, she said:

"I never come to see you for no reason. I just came back to Beijing after finishing my work today, and I heard from my cousin that our two families might become relatives.

I am a casual person and often offend people unintentionally without knowing it.

Miss Han Jingrao, the granddaughter of Lord Han Xingyun, the Minister of Works, I really don’t know how I have offended her, but she is targeting me everywhere.

If she was just targeting me, I wouldn't be afraid.

I'm afraid that she will target my family because of me.

I don't know how she knew about the affairs between our two families.

She told my cousin that my cousin was not worthy of Mr. Xu.

Based on my understanding of her, I was afraid that she would interfere, so I came to explain it specifically.

Although Xiu Yiran and I are cousins, her personality is not like mine.

I say this because I don’t want her provocation to mislead your judgment.”

The three people in the Xu family looked at each other.

Xiu Luoran smiled and said, "I'm not exaggerating, my cousin Xiu Yiran is beautiful and intelligent, flexible and has a broad perspective. She is a good candidate to be the mistress of the house.

Lord Xu, Madam Xu, Master Xu, I have finished what I want to say. Bye."

The three members of the Xu family stood up, and Mrs. Xu prepared to send Xiu Luoran out.

Xiu Luoran looked at Madam Xu's face seriously:

"Madam, do you often have stomachaches recently? Do you often feel particularly greedy and want to eat things that you don't usually like?"

Madam Xu nodded blankly:

"correct."

Xiu Luoran said: "I happen to know the prescription for this disease, just take two doses of medicine.

If Madam wants to try it, I will write the recipe for you."

Xu Xian immediately said, "Then I'll trouble you, Miss Xiu."

The lady's stomachache was so severe that she wanted to die.

He looked very sad and wished he could feel the pain for her.

I heard Xiu Luoran say that two doses of medicine would be enough, so I must give it a try, just in case it works.

Xiu Luoran quickly wrote the prescription and then left Xu's house.

Madam Xu asked Xu Xian: "Master, do you think what Miss Xiu said is credible?"

Just as Xu Xian was about to speak, Mrs. Xu covered her stomach and cried out "ouch".

Xu Xian was shocked: "Is your stomach going to hurt again?"

He called the maid next to him: "Go and make some pain-relieving medicine for Madam."

The Xu family asked a doctor to examine Mrs. Xu's illness, and the doctor said that the disease might not be curable.

When you have a stomachache, you can drink a bowl of medicine to relieve the pain.

Xu Hongxi said: "Dad, why not try Miss Xiu's medicine."

Xu Xian looked at Madam Xu, who was already sweating from the pain:

"Try it."

Xu Xian asked the servant to get the medicine immediately.

The medicine was quickly brought back and boiled.

At this time, Mrs. Xu was rolling on the bed in pain.

The medicine was ready. Xu Hongxi let it cool for a while before bringing it over:

"Mom, the medicine is ready, drink it quickly."

Mrs. Xu endured the pain and sat up, drinking the medicine in one breath.

Xu Xian and his son Xu Hongxi just stared at Madam Xu.

To be honest, they were desperate and were trying every possible means. They were also very worried that there might be something wrong with Xiu Luoran's medicine.

After Mrs. Xu drank the medicine, she felt her stomach was in turmoil.

"Oh, I need to go to the toilet."

Without waiting for the maid to support her, Madam Xu ran to the toilet, and it was obvious that she was in a hurry.

Soon, Mrs. Xu came back with a smile:

"Master, Hongxi, my stomach doesn't hurt anymore."

Xu Xian and Xu Hongxi were overjoyed. Xu Xian said:

"Miss Xiu said that two doses of medicine would be enough. It seems to be true."

Xu Hongxi helped Madam Xu sit down:

“Dad, Mom, I don’t know if what Miss Xiu said about Miss Han is true.

But I do know a little bit about Han Jingrao. She is a very scheming person."

Xu Xian said: "We can't just listen to one side of the story. Since you have a crush on the young lady from the second branch of the Xiu family, you might as well get in touch with her more.

Marriage is a serious matter and should not be taken lightly, especially since we are marrying the eldest daughter-in-law."

"I know, Dad."

The servant came to report: "Master, Madam Huang wants to see you, Madam."

This man of Mrs. Huang is Xu Xian's subordinate.

Mrs. Xu felt very strange:

"Mrs. Huang doesn't like to go out, so why did you come to our house today?"

Xu Xian smiled: "The Huang family and the Han family are distant relatives, right? The Han family, Miss Han's family."

Mrs. Xu suddenly realized: "Is it coming now?"
