Chapter 58: Stealing chicken but losing rice
Su Jingyi was the first to bang on the box for help: "Is there... anyone... outside?"
The intermittent cries for help soon attracted the attention of passers-by, and the gatekeeper guarding the Minister's Mansion also noticed movement in the box.
The two of them leaned over to listen, and then they could faintly hear the voices of their two young masters.
They wanted to release the person immediately, but the padlock on the outside of the box could not be opened, which instead attracted a group of passers-by to watch.
"This is the box of the Second Miss Curry. Go find her and get the key..."
When Su Yunling heard that her eldest brother and third brother were locked in the box in her warehouse, she was shocked.
He immediately came back with the keys to show his concern.
When she opened the wooden box under the anxious or curious gazes of a group of people, a sultry wave of hot air mixed with the smell of sweat made her cover her nose with a handkerchief repeatedly.
At this time, the two people in the box were almost losing consciousness due to the long-term bending posture and the heat.
Finally, when the box was opened, the two were like fish thrown back into the water before they suffocated.
"Brother, how come you were locked in the box in my warehouse? Could it be that you..." Su Yunling covered his mouth in surprise halfway through his words.
Say half and leave the other half, so that you can give others enough room for imagination!
After the two brothers finally recovered, they struggled to stand up, pulling the box with them. When they looked up, they saw that there were people all around them.
It's such a hot day, why are all these people basking in the sun outside?
Looking at the people pointing and talking meaningfully, for a moment, Su Jingyi wanted to run away.
But he underestimated the extent of the numbness in his legs and tripped over himself.
"Hahaha..." Amidst a burst of laughter, Lily of the Valley suddenly rushed out with an anxious look on her face.
"Oh my goodness... Miss... Your private vault has been robbed, and there's not a single penny left."
After hearing this, Su Yunling pouted and was about to cry, "What, the money I saved from selling medicine was stolen?" She turned her gaze to Su Jingyi and Su Hanyu.
When the two brothers met her meaningful gaze, their bodies stiffened at the same time.
"It wasn't us...it was empty when we entered..."
She didn’t want to listen, it was just a bunch of nonsense. She automatically blocked out the two people’s explanations.
"Wuwuwu... Are you still human? You are my own brothers! You knew I couldn't get married, but you relied on that little money to support yourself... You actually stole my money. Aren't you afraid that your mother's coffin will not be able to hold it down?"
"This brother actually stole his sister's money for self-defense. How shameless!"
"I've heard that the three sons of Minister Su's family don't like their own sisters and prefer that one... So it's true."
"You look like a human being... You are not a human being. You stole all your own sister's money and left not a penny behind. You are not afraid of being struck by lightning..."
Perhaps it was because the weather was too hot, the onlookers were all filled with righteous indignation and had bad tempers.
The two brothers naturally knew that it was a fact that they had entered Su Yunling's private vault and were discovered, but as the saying goes, one should not put away shoes in a melon field, nor should one adjust his hat under a plum tree, they had no idea how to explain it.
The two people, feeling ashamed, rushed back to the mansion regardless of everything.
Su Yunling naturally would not let them go just like that. She had to take the opportunity to make them bleed a little so that they would not provoke her easily again.
So when Su Zhaohong came back from the yamen that night, Su Yunling told him that her two brothers had broken into her private vault and stolen things, and the news had spread to outsiders.
After hearing this, Su Zhaohong was so angry that he wanted to use the family rules to beat her. It was not because he felt sorry for Su Yunling, it was just that it lost his face.
While the two brothers refused to admit that they stole the money, they were self-moved and protected Su Yueying, the mastermind behind the incident, insisting that they took the initiative to avenge Su Yueying.
Faced with two brothers who were so "loyal and righteous", Su Yunling was also willing to oblige. No matter what they said, she just had to pay money to settle the matter.
She wanted to see how rich their family was to protect Su Yueying, who was about to fall from the clouds back into the mud.
"Dad, they each gave me 10,000 taels as compensation. I can explain to the public that the money has been found and it was all a misunderstanding... Otherwise, you can just wait to be named by the Emperor! How many times has this happened this month?"
"Su Yunling, you are simply..." The two brothers were so angry at her arrogant words.
"Shut up!" Su Zhaohong shouted angrily.
The two of them had no choice but to shut up.
"Su Zhaohong was so angry that his teeth itched. From her request, he could guess that Su Yunling's money must not be lost, but what's the use of them knowing it?
People outside don’t believe it!
Su Zhaohong said with a stern face, "Ten thousand taels together... I can't take out more than that."
Su Yunling did not hesitate, "Alright! Then the other ten thousand taels will be my gift to you. Look how filial I am!"
Su Zhaohong's chest heaved, and he was obviously trying his best to endure. He, the head of the family, was almost reduced to a hollow shell.
Su Yunling glanced at his two brothers who had lost more than they gained, and smiled harmlessly, "Big brother and third brother, dad helped you solve the problem, shouldn't you be happy? Why don't you smile? Are you born not to like to smile?"
After returning to Qiyunxuan, Su Yunling counted the banknotes and only put them into the space after confirming that there were neither too many nor too few.
Today's harvest was good, so she took out some silver and gave two strings of money to each person in Qiyunxuan, and ten taels each to Linglan and the two maids.
Xia Lu and Bing Zhi also had a share.
The servants in other courtyards were all envious. Su Zhaohong had been fined three months' salary before, and later lost a large sum of wealth. Not to mention the reward money, they even wanted to deduct the monthly salary.
On this day, when Su Yunling was thinking about how to sell the beauty cream in her hand, someone suddenly came from the palace and asked her to enter the palace to see the empress dowager.
Thinking of the opportunity to enter the harem, isn't this a way out for her beauty cream?
He immediately took a few boxes and followed the eunuch who led the way into the palace.
When they arrived at the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace, Zhao Yuanpan was already waiting.
Upon asking, they found out that the Empress Dowager's illness was a little strange, and it involved the need to examine some hidden parts of her body. It was inconvenient for the imperial physician from their Imperial Medical Bureau to do so, so they specially asked someone to ask Su Yunling to go there.
Su Yunling got a general idea before entering the inner hall.
Although the Empress Dowager was over seventy years old, she had always been in good health. The last time Su Yunling saw her, she was still a majestic old lady, completely different from the skinny and sickly person in front of her.
"The Empress Dowager has been suffering from vomiting and diarrhea for the past two days. Her fever has not subsided. She throws up the food she eats after a short while. She has hardly taken a drop of water in the past two days, yet she has started to have bloody stools." Aunt Liu, who served the Empress Dowager personally, took the initiative to tell Su Yunling about the Empress Dowager's condition without waiting for Su Yunling to ask.
After observing, smelling, asking and palpating, Su Yunling discovered that the empress dowager's evil heat had entered her body, causing deficiency of both yin and yang, and the high fever would not subside due to the struggle between good and evil.
Su Yunling couldn't help but think of a book on the diagnosis and treatment of epidemics that the miracle doctor had written when she followed him in her previous life.
"Did the Queen Mother go anywhere before she became ill, or did she come into contact with anyone outside the palace?"
Aunt Liu immediately replied, "Yes! The Queen Mother heard that refugees had arrived in the capital, so she ordered people to give alms on the official road at the foot of the Huguo Temple."
Aunt Liu recalled that the Empress Dowager started having watery diarrhea the night she returned to the palace after making the alms.
Su Yunling's expression immediately became serious after hearing this. She left the bedroom immediately and told Zhao Yuanpan her conclusion.
"I suspect it's an epidemic, and the source should be among the refugees..."
