Regent, the princess you found is a treasure

Chapter 24: Grand Tutor's House Visits to Express Thanks

Prime Minister Su felt bitter when he saw the car full of things but he couldn't get any of them. The storehouse in the mansion had just been robbed, and not much silver was collected from below. Now the food standard of the entire Prime Minister's Mansion had shrunk a lot.

Zhang scolded him every day in the yard, but he could avoid seeing her and went to Aunt Zhao's Ningcui Pavilion, hoping to get Aunt Zhao's gentle comfort. However, when Aunt Zhao saw him, she cried and complained that she had been haggard in the past few days. He didn't want to go anywhere now, so he slept alone in the study.

Just as Prime Minister Su was about to enter the mansion, he saw another carriage parked in front of his mansion. Behind the carriage was another carriage, which was full of things. He saw that the people who got off the carriage in front were Lord Xiao and Young Master Xiao Luobai from the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

Prime Minister Su was a little confused. He and Lord Xiao had very few private contacts and were just acquaintances in the court. He wondered why Lord Xiao came suddenly?

Although Lord Xiao's official position was lower than his, he was from the Taishi Mansion. The old Taishi was the teacher of the late emperor, and even the words on the plaque at the Taishi Mansion were written by the late emperor himself. Prime Minister Su did not dare to neglect him and hurried forward to greet him: "Hello, Lord Xiao, I wonder when you came to my Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Lord Xiao just bowed to Prime Minister Su, said hello, Prime Minister Su, and then walked past him towards Su Luoxue.

When Xiao Luobai saw Su Luoxue, he immediately smiled and said, "Miss Su, my father and I came here today to thank you for healing my grandfather. My grandfather has been getting better and better these days."

Father Xiao also smiled and said to Su Luoxue: "Miss Su, I have been wanting to come here to express my gratitude these past few days. I only got some time today. I hope Miss Su will not blame me. I specially prepared some small gifts to express my gratitude. It is just a small token of my appreciation. I hope Miss Su will accept it."

Su Luoxue quickly waved her hand and said, "Master Xiao is too polite. I originally paid for the consultation. I really don't dare to accept it."

At this time, Prime Minister Su understood a little bit. Lord Xiao said that Su Luoxue cured the old master's illness. He knew about his eldest daughter, although others didn't know. She had lived in the mansion since she was a child and seldom went out. She was timid and cowardly. When did she learn medical skills?

"Lord Xiao, you must have made a mistake. My daughter has been uneducated and has no medical skills at all. How could she possibly cure the old master's illness?" Prime Minister Su said quickly.

"Prime Minister Su doesn't trust his own daughter. Does that mean he doesn't trust our Grand Tutor's Mansion either?" Lord Xiao asked in return.

"This, this, is not, is not." Prime Minister Su stuttered, not knowing how to explain.

Xiao Luobai was afraid that Su Luoxue would not accept the gift, so he said to her: "Miss Su, you don't have to be polite. These are just a little token of gratitude from my grandfather and me. If you don't accept them, my father and I will definitely be blamed by grandfather when we go back. If grandfather gets angry again, I will have to trouble Miss Su to make a trip because he is not feeling well."

Su Luoxue smiled helplessly and said, "Then I won't be polite. Thank you, old master, and thank you, Master Xiao."

After saying this, he asked the servants to move the thank-you gifts brought from the Xiao family to the bamboo garden.

While the servants were carrying things into the mansion, Prime Minister Su was inviting Lord Xiao and Young Master Xiao to the mansion for tea. As all visitors are guests, Su Luoxue accompanied them. After exchanging greetings for a while and drinking a few cups of tea, the Xiao father and son said goodbye and went back.

Su Luoxue also stood up and prepared to go back to the bamboo garden. Prime Minister Su called out, "Luoxue, wait a moment. Your father has something to discuss with you."

"No room for negotiation." Su Luoxue continued to walk out.

"Father hasn't said anything yet?" Prime Minister Su asked loudly.

"Nothing can be discussed." Su Luoxue left a word and walked away without looking back.

With a bang, a teacup was thrown heavily to the ground by Prime Minister Su.

He originally wanted to discuss with Su Luoxue about borrowing money to help the Prime Minister's Mansion with emergencies, but Su Luoxue didn't even listen to him finish his words and directly refused.

In Qianyueju where Su Qingrou lived, a teacup was thrown heavily to the ground.

Qinglian quickly asked someone to clean up the porcelain pieces and tea on the ground.

"That bitch, why did she receive the reward from the Queen?" Su Qingrou said gritting her teeth while pinching Qinglian's arm.

Two days ago, Su Luoxue was summoned by the Empress and went to the palace. Later, she heard that she was kept in the palace by the Empress. She was so happy in her heart. Su Luoxue lost her innocence and reputation, which damaged the face of the royal family. The Emperor ordered her to break off the engagement with the prince. The Empress was naturally angry with her. If she stayed in the palace, she must have been punished by the Empress. Was she punished to kneel or beaten with a stick?

Su Qingrou has been at home these two days. Whenever she thinks of Su Luoxue being disliked and punished by the Queen, she feels particularly comfortable.

But what she never expected was that not only did Su Luoxue come back safely today, but she was also sent back by Nanny Xie herself, and the Queen Mother also rewarded her with a carriage full of gifts.

Thinking of this, her angry subordinates pinched Qinglian hard again, and Qinglian could only cover her mouth to prevent herself from screaming.

"Contact the prince and ask him what Su Luoxue did in Yanchun Palace in the past two days?" Su Luoxue said to Qinglian.

"Yes, miss." Qinglian replied while enduring the pain.

Not only that, Lord Xiao and Master Xiao from the Grand Tutor's Mansion came to express their gratitude in person and also sent a cart full of gifts.

How could that bitch cure the old master's illness? That idiot actually cured people's illnesses? Even if you beat her to death, she wouldn't believe it.

And her father actually asked that bitch to move all the things to the Bamboo Garden. The storehouse in their house was empty, and she wanted to go out to buy some things, but she didn't even have money when she asked her father. However, that bitch got a lot of good things, which were given by the Queen Mother and the Grand Tutor's Mansion, so naturally they were not bad.

Thinking of these things that made her upset, Qinglian increased her strength. She bit her lips and they were broken, but she didn't dare to say a word, otherwise she would be beaten even harder by the young lady.

Su Qingrou had vented enough and let Qinglian go.

Qinglian went out and quickly returned to her room, took off her coat, looked at her purple arm, and could only apply the medicine silently by herself.

As the Second Young Miss's personal maid, she seemed to enjoy great glory in the Prime Minister's Mansion. However, in fact, the Young Miss didn't treat her as a human being at all behind her back. She was just a punching bag for the Young Miss.

Thinking of this, Qinglian raised her hand to wipe away the tears that were about to fall. She couldn't and didn't dare to cry, otherwise the young lady would see her crying eyes and would surely torture her again. She couldn't escape, as her indenture was still in the young lady's hands.

After applying the ointment, Qinglian hurried out to do what the young lady had asked her to do.
