Painting Doctor Jinhua

I will ask your Xiao family's mistress to respectfully invite me back!

After returning to Linshui Pavilion in the Xiao Mansion, Xiao Xian kept hearing these words in his mind, and his hand holding the piece of silk became tighter and tighter.

"My dear, what do you think the young lady meant by her last words?" Feng Dong couldn't help but ask the question in his mind, and then shook his head and said, "That young lady is really hard to figure out! Every word she said is really puzzling... However, not only can she cure my dear, she can also cook the dishes that my dear likes to eat. This is really rare in the world!"

After saying that, she seemed to feel a little regretful, "Oh, why did I forget to ask her for a recipe, so that even if we are in our house, I can ask the cook to cook for my husband!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Xian rebuked him unhappily: "Feng Dong, other people's unique skills and techniques are their wealth, you can't take them without permission. Remember, don't say such things again in the future!"

Feng Dong lowered her head in embarrassment: "Yes, my dear!"

Suddenly, she saw something strange in the silk in Xiao Xian's hand, and said in surprise, "Hey, my dear, look at this silk!"

Xiao Xian then loosened his hands and unfolded the silk in his hand. He saw that on the clean silk that was originally embroidered with only one word, line after line of beautiful handwriting were slowly appearing.

Feng Dong couldn't help but move closer to take a look: "My dear, there are words! There were none just now, how did these words appear?"

Xiao Xian couldn't help but stare in surprise, and saw some beads of sweat on his palms. Could it be that these beads of sweat made the words on the silk appear?

Feng Dong, who had followed Xiao Xian since childhood, could recognize some words, so he recited in a low voice: "Cut the mandarin fish... cut it into pieces, spread it evenly with flour, moisten...heat the pan with oil, and then add pepper and wild ginseng... My dear, this seems to be a recipe for one dish after another. Could it be that the girl..."

Xiao Xian seemed to have suddenly realized something, and he said to himself, "Steamed orchid dishes, cinnamon wine and pepper juice, it turns out that they want to use the heat of pepper to fight against dampness and cold... She really has good intentions!"

"What's going on? What's going on? Sir, what are you talking about?"

Feng Dong didn't understand Xiao Xian's emotion, so he just heard him say, "This is not just a recipe, it's a medicinal meal!"

It turned out that she seemed to have anticipated all of this, and had written the medicinal diet on this piece of silk long ago, and gave it to him through Ling Ye's hand. It seemed that since the first time he saw them, everything that happened afterwards had been part of her plan...

So what is her next plan?

Xiao Xian couldn't help but fall into deep thought. At this moment, he didn't know that the originally peaceful night was already filled with undercurrents.

……

"What did you say? Failed?" Princess Yunyin heard the servants coming to ask in Fengxiu Pavilion. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and said angrily, "A young lady under fifteen years old and a little boy of ten, you told me that you failed?"

"Yes, Princess, I just got the news as well!" Old Lady Jiang said tremblingly.

"How is it possible?" Princess Yunyin murmured, suddenly knocking over a white porcelain lamp on the table. "Where did the news come from? Where are those assassins? Where are they now?"

When asked where the news came from, Jiang Yu's face turned even paler. She stammered for a long time before saying, "It came from the East Market. It was from Mr. Balang..."

"Eighth Brother? Xiao Yun? What does it have to do with him?"

Jiang Yu then replied, "It's a coincidence. Today, at dawn, Mr. Ba and the two young masters from the Wei and Zhu families had been drinking all night. As soon as they came out of the Xinghua Yanyu Tower, a group of people swarmed over them and threw countless fruits, vegetables and eggs at Mr. Ba.

Eighth Prince was furious and was about to punish this group of unruly people, but he did not expect that there were several people hanging on the big trees in front of the Xinghua Yanyu Tower. Those people were none other than the assassins sent by the princess to hunt down the two young men, and each assassin was wrapped in white silk with poems written on it..."

Mrs. Jiang seemed to find it difficult to speak here and did not dare to continue.

Princess Yunyin asked, "Poem? What poem is it about?"

Only then did Jiang Yu tremble and answer: "It's written... Others laugh at me for being too stupid, I laugh at others for laughing at me..."

"What does it mean?" Princess Yunyin didn't understand the meaning of the poem, and then she heard the old lady Jiang continue in fear, "There is also... there is a horizontal banner, which says... it says that the mistress of the Xiao family is unkind and has abandoned the granddaughter of the Xiao family for fifteen years. Now she has sent assassins to kill her!"

"What did you say?" Princess Yunyin's eyes widened in disbelief. She was so angry that she threw her handkerchief and was about to run out. Aunt Jiang followed behind her and tried to stop her, "Princess, don't be angry. If you go now, it means you admit that those assassins were sent by you, which will be even more detrimental to your reputation..."

"Reputation?" Princess Yunyin stopped suddenly. "How dare that lowly maid slander me like that? Is it me who doesn't want reputation, or is it her?"

Seeing that Princess Yunyin's eyes seemed to have deep meaning, Jiang Yu asked, as if she understood, "Princess, what do you mean by that?"

Princess Yunyin calmed down for a moment, then smiled sinisterly as if she had thought of something: "She thought that she could slander my reputation in this way to highlight her pitiful appearance as an orphan, and her reputation for kindness and weakness. It's really ridiculous and lamentable. Since she wants to ruin my name, why can't I do the same to her and ruin her reputation..."

When Jiang Yu heard this, her eyes lit up as if she had suddenly realized something. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Xiao Jiuniang crying outside the door:

"Auntie——"

The two men saw Xiao Jiuniang running towards them with her face covered and crying. When she arrived in front of Princess Yunyin, her wide sleeves fell down and some egg liquid was dripping down her face. She looked ridiculous and extremely embarrassed!

"What's wrong with you again?" asked Princess Yunyin.

Xiao Jiuniang cried, "It's all because of that bitch. Today, I just went out to look for Princess Ningyuan. When I passed by Jingyang East Street, I saw a group of people watching the fun. I was curious, so I ran over to take a look. I saw a group of people throwing vegetables and fruits at my brother. I wanted to call for help, but as soon as I called out, those people didn't even let me go. They smashed my carriage to pieces!"

Princess Yunyin became angrier and angrier as she listened, and asked again, "Where's your brother?"

"My brother didn't dare to come to see mother, and has returned to his room to bathe. However, Jiu Niang was not convinced. Mother, didn't you send someone to...how come that b*tch is still alive? And she even dared...dare to write those words to insult mother!"

"abuse?"

"Yes, those people... those people said that my mother was a cruel and shameless person. She didn't even let a fifteen-year-old girl go. There was also the relationship between grandma and granddaughter!"

"Those people?" Princess Yunyin was suspicious and thought for a moment, "Who are those people? Why should they say what they say? If they can say these words, we can say them too!"

Xiao Jiuniang seemed to have thought of something, stopped crying and asked, "What do you mean, mother?"

"Nineth Lady, I've told you before that there are some things we can't do, but we can find others to do them for us. There are some things we can't say directly, but we can find others to say them for us. This slut actually wanted to ruin my reputation so simply and crudely as soon as she returned to Jiankang. Naturally, my Xiao family will not let her off easily!"

Princess Yunyin rubbed her handkerchief, looked at Xiao Jiuniang, and said confidently, "Now, mother has something for you to do!"

……

Not long after, the news reached Linshui Pavilion, and Feng Dong was laughing so hard that he couldn't straighten his back.

"My dear, you didn't see how the Eighth Young Master and the Ninth Lady looked when they came back. Their bodies were covered with rotten vegetable leaves and eggs, and their faces were covered with several scars. They were howling like ghosts and wolves. I think they have never been so 'glorious' in their lives. They should have gone back to their own yard to take a bath now!"

"I never thought that young lady would do this. She hung those assassins in front of the most conspicuous Xinghua Yanyu Tower on Jingyang Street. That place has always had the most guests, and most of them are from wealthy families and merchants. Now everyone knows that the mistress of our Xiao family sent assassins to hunt down her granddaughter!"

"The Eighth Young Master and the Ninth Young Lady have always been arrogant and domineering. They often bully you with sarcasm and ridicule. This incident by the young lady can be regarded as a way for you to vent your anger!"

"If you weren't also a Xiao, I would really like to take you to the Xinghua Yanyu Tower to see the excitement..."

Feng Dong said this and looked at Xiao Xian a little embarrassedly, but saw that the smile that had just risen on his lips slowly froze again.

"I'm sorry, my dear. I'm afraid of those people. Anyone with the surname Xiao will throw vegetable leaves and eggs at me, which will be bad for you. So it's better for us to stay at home now. However... I have brought you such good news, why don't you smile happily?" There was a hint of disappointment in her tone.

Xiao Xian chuckled and said, "I'm not worried that if I go out now, I'll be thrown vegetable leaves and eggs. I'm just afraid that this will attract Princess Yunyin..."

"Oh, you are worried about that young lady! But, that young lady also said that you don't need to intervene, which means she has already made up her mind. And I think that young lady is really smart and capable. My dear, don't worry too much..."

Xiao Xian nodded without saying anything more, but the worry between his brows could not be dispelled.

To announce Princess Yunyin's actions so directly in front of everyone, this move can certainly win some people's sympathy, but the Chen family's ability to distort the truth and cover up the facts is their specialty. Such an intensified conflict may only lead to more vicious revenge from Princess Yunyin... She must be aware of the consequences, but what good will it do her?
