The beauty of the Hou family and the king's plan

"How dare you! Do you really think I'm dead?"

Princess Yu threw the teacups all over the floor with a crackling sound. Her chest was shaking and she was breathing heavily, obviously she was very angry.

Aunt Zhao hurriedly comforted her, "Princess, our cousin didn't suffer any loss. She got her money back right away."

Nanny Zhao naturally sided with Shen Baozhao. She was the princess's maid who came with her as a dowry and had followed the princess for decades.

Several masters and the Lady of Nanhua County all grew up under her care, and everyone respects her very much.

Only Xiao Yuyao never took her seriously. That was fine, she was just a slave.

But Shen Baozhao was particularly caring for her. Knowing that she had arthritis in her wrists, which would cause unbearable pain when the weather changed, he specially made a plaster for her.

If you treat her well from the bottom of your heart, people's hearts will naturally be biased towards her.

"Well done! If I were there, I would have punished her severely. I don't know how the Gu family raised their daughter!"

Naturally, Princess Yu also doted on Xiao Yuyao. Madam Xiao always said good things about her daughter, and Xiao Yuyao also knew how to act nicely in front of Princess Yu to win her favor.

She thought Xiao Yuyao was just a little bit bad-tempered and harmless. Who knew she could say such vicious words?

"Madam Zhao, take my name card. Go to the clan and ask for a good nanny to come and give it to Yuyao.

If the eldest lady asks, she will say that Yuyao is too jumpy. I am afraid that Fanyang Lu will not like it, so let her learn some rules!"

Nanny Zhao nodded in agreement and hurriedly sent someone to do the job.

Speaking of Madam Xiao, she said today that she was visiting the residence of Marquis Xuanping, but in fact she is currently at the residence of Duke Lu.

Together with Lady Gu, wife of Duke of Lu, and Marquis Xuanping, the three of them were waiting outside Chen Ke's bedroom.

The bedroom door was tightly shut, and inside there was only Qingfeng Yaojun, Zhaocai, and Chen Ke, who was howling like a ghost.

Chen Ke screamed miserably, and Gu almost rushed in several times. It was only when Xuanping Hou held her tightly that she was stopped.

"Little sister, don't be stupid. If you go in now, you might fail and all the suffering Ke'er has endured will be in vain."

Gu covered her mouth and cried, and Madam Xiao also felt sorry for her.

She heard yesterday that Marquis Xuanping had invited Qingfeng Yaojun to treat his nephew's leg, so she was anxious to find out about the situation. After all, Uncle Xiao's leg injury had not yet healed.

Finally, Chen Ke's screams in the inner room gradually died down. Qingfeng Yaojun opened the door and walked out.

He bowed to the Marquis Xuanping and said, "I have fulfilled my mission. The prince's leg was reattached smoothly. Although I used up a lot of Master's pills and plasters, fortunately it worked.

I believe that soon, I will be able to practice walking on the ground.”

After hearing this, Gu hurriedly thanked Qingfeng Yaojun and said frankly that he wanted to build an immortality tablet for Qingfeng Yaojun.

"No need for the tablet. Please ask the Duke's Mansion to settle the bill. Oh, by the way, I have a Hanxiang Pill worth 20,000 taels in my hand. It has a miraculous effect on the recovery of leg injuries.

If the Duke's wife is willing to part with it, I can also give it up and use it on the Crown Prince."

Qingfeng received a message from Medicine King Hall early this morning that Miss Shen had delivered the Hanxiang Pills. He then went to Medicine King Hall to get them.

"Use, use, use it all!" Gu didn't care how much money it was at this moment. As long as Chen Ke's leg could be cured, she would be willing to sell her fields and land.

Even so, when he took the bill from Qingfeng Yaojun, he was still shocked. Forty-eight thousand taels!

This plus the Hanxiang Pills would be 68,000 taels! The Duke's Mansion couldn't come up with so much money all at once.

No, it can still be taken out. If you count the silver that the Duke brought back from the front line a while ago.

Although the Duke asked her to keep it well, as it would be of great use, Gu thought that what use could be more important than Chen Ke's legs.

In the future, the entire Duke's Mansion will belong to her son. It's just a matter of spending some money, which is not a big deal.

He then instructed the steward to change all the silver into silver notes and send them to Qingfeng Yaojun later.

Qingfeng gave Chen Ke the Hanxiang Pills to take. Sure enough, Chen Ke's pain was gone immediately and his legs could move again.

Qingfeng suddenly realized that he had made a mistake. His asking price was too conservative. He should have sold it for 40,000 taels!

He became even more curious about the alchemist that Shen Baozhao mentioned, and decided to find out who that expert was during his stay in Kyoto.

Qingfeng Yaojun said goodbye to Gu, and Madam Xiao also left the gate of the Duke of Lu's Mansion with Qingfeng, saying that it was getting late.

"Mr. Qingfeng, please stay." Madam Xiao asked him to stay.

He walked up to Qingfeng and said with a smile: "Today I see that Yaojun is really the reincarnation of Hua Tuo. Thank you for healing my nephew's legs."

"No need to thank me again. I have collected the consultation fee, just like a transaction in a shop, the payment is made in full." Qingfeng Medicine Master did not want to have too much involvement with these noble ladies.

He made his words very clear, and from now on no one would act recklessly in his name.

Madam Xiao's smile froze, but she still smiled and said, "You are too polite, Mr. Medicine. My husband also has a leg disease. I wonder if Mr. Qingfeng Medicine can come to treat him?"

Qingfeng had heard from Marquis Xuanping earlier that the husband's family of this Madam Xiao was the Prince of Yu's Mansion.

Then isn't her husband Mr. Xiao from Prince Yu's mansion? I heard from Master that he had some connection with Prince Yu many years ago.

Since he is an old acquaintance of Master, it is only right that I visit him for the sake of Master’s kindness.

He agreed and went to the patient's home for a consultation at noon tomorrow.

Mrs. Xiao was delighted to see Qingfeng agree. Although she had seen Shen Baozhao's medical skills, she was still worried.

As soon as Madam Xiao returned to the palace, she saw Xiao Yuyao waiting in her courtyard.

After seeing Xiao Yuyao's face, all the good mood disappeared.

The clear slap mark was imprinted on the white jade-like face, making the already chubby face look even rounder and bigger.

"Yao'er, what happened to you?" Madam Xiao caressed her face with concern and asked. "Are you all dead? Hurry up and apply medicine on the fourth young lady's face!"

Xiao Yuyao burst into tears, as if all her grievances had burst out.

Madam Xiao cried out with such kindness that she kept comforting her until Xiao Yuyao got tired of crying and fell asleep in her arms.

Madam Xiao slammed her hand on the coffee table. "Tell me, who was so bold as to beat Yao'er?"

Xiao Yuyao's personal maid knelt on the ground, trembling, "Yes, it's Miss Zhaobiao."

"You little bitch! How dare you!" Madam Xiao was so angry that she didn't want to care about the reason at all. She immediately wanted to send someone to go to the Ning'an Marquis's Mansion to call Shen Baozhao.

Before anyone was sent out, Nanny Zhao brought a nanny to Madam Xiao's courtyard.

"Madam, the princess has found a nanny for Miss Yuyao. She wants Miss Yuyao to learn more rules and control her unruly temper."

Although the nurse had a pair of shrewd eyes, she didn't look around. Her hair was combed sleekly, not a single strand out of place. She looked like a powerful person.

Madam Xiao frowned and wondered why the princess asked the nanny to slap her in the face? Was she dissatisfied with her for not teaching Yuyao well?

What happened today? Madam Xiao was puzzled and asked this question.

Nanny Zhao didn't say much and told Madam Xiao to ask Xiao Yuyao herself.

After Nanny Zhao left, Madam Xiao understood the whole story and her face became as gray as dust.

He ordered his men to beat Xiao Yuyao's maid half to death and then threw her into the yard.

He stared down at her and said, "You failed to protect your master, you deserve to be beaten to death!"
