Aunt Chen is back from the world of cultivation

Everyone said that the Yan family found a miracle doctor from somewhere, and the severe burn scars on Yan Yun’s face were cured without even a trace.

The words "miracle doctor" immediately touched Pei Xiao's heart.

It has been almost two months since the eldest son was found to be poisoned, but Pei Jin's condition has not improved at all.

Now, my hands can no longer hold a pen or chopsticks, and my feet can no longer use force to walk. I am only 12 or 13 years old, and I should be strong and healthy, able to run and jump, but now I can only lie in bed or sit in a wheelchair. The atrophy of the skin on my hands and feet has not improved at all.

He had searched for doctors in the southern capital, and had also visited famous doctors in nearby Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Anhui provinces, but at best they could only detoxify and slow down the atrophy of his hands and feet. No one could truly restore Pei Jin's health.

Every doctor said that he was too deeply poisoned and that even if the poison was removed, the damage to his hands and feet would be irreversible.

An heir with hand or foot problems will definitely not be able to inherit the title.

It seemed that the people from the Zhang family in the capital would arrive soon. If they brought a skilled doctor who diagnosed the poisoning, he would have to give an explanation to the Zhang family.

How to deal with the culprit is a trivial matter.

In any case, as long as Pei Jin's hands and feet cannot recover, the Zhang family, as the direct branch of the Yue family, will definitely be dissatisfied with his way of managing the family, and will even question whether he does not pay enough attention to Pei Jin.

There will be an irreparable rift between him and the direct branch of the Zhang family.

Furthermore, without a qualified legitimate son to inherit the title, the title would be downgraded, which also prompted him to restore Pei Jin's health.

That miracle doctor was able to restore Yan Yun's face to its original state, which shows that he is very capable. If we can invite him to check on Jin Ge'er, maybe there will be a chance of recovery.

As soon as he got back from his shift, he went to Zhang's room.

Zhang was very happy to see him coming. She was gentle and considerate. She helped him change clothes, handed him a towel to wipe his face, and even held his big hand while they sat on the kang, massaging his shoulders.

Pei Xiao accepted her service with peace of mind. Her soft hands and sweet voice made him feel relaxed after a tiring day in the military camp.

"It is said that the burn scars on the face of the eldest son of the Yan Tongzhi family have been healed, and there is no mark left. Has the madam heard about it in the inner house?"

Zhang has been busy trying to catch Chen Qingzhu's fox tail these days. She only wants to clean up the backup plan left by Chen Qingzhu before the direct branch of the Zhang family sends someone again. She has no time to pay attention to other people's affairs.

"I haven't heard of it."

Pei Xiao's deep-set eyebrows and eyes were immediately filled with displeasure:

"Didn't I tell you to pay more attention to the miraculous doctors and eccentrics among the people? How come you don't know about this matter when it has become such a hot topic?"

Zhang paused, a look of worry and sadness appeared on her face, and she said aggrievedly:

"It's my fault. It's just that Jin'er's mood has changed drastically recently, and I just wanted to make him happy, but I didn't pay much attention to what was happening outside."

In front of Pei Xiao, she has always been caring and loving towards Pei Jin, with a kind motherly heart.

Then, Pei Xiao's frown finally relaxed:

"Forget it. Tomorrow you can take a gift to congratulate the prefect, and then ask the Yan family where they hired the doctor from. We must also invite this person to try Jin'er."

Although the civil and military families were from different families, they were all from the capital, and there was some contact between the Jingnan Marquisate and the Tongzhifu. It was not presumptuous for him to ask Zhang to come and congratulate him.

Zhang concealed the expression in her eyes and said softly:

"Don't worry, my Lord. I will definitely find out everything. Seeing Jin-ge like this, I feel so sad. I wish I could be sick myself!"

Pei Xiao held her hand and squeezed it, his brows softening a little:

"Brother Jin's condition has not improved recently, and Madam has been working hard."

The two of them were very affectionate. The next day, when Pei Xiao went to the military camp for duty, Zhang asked someone to deliver a visiting card to the Tongzhifu, and ordered Liu Ma to go to the storehouse to get a set of the best four treasures of the study as a gift for her visit to the Tongzhifu later.

Aunt Liu was puzzled:

"Madam, do you really want to go and get the news?"

Zhang said:

"Of course I will go. I will just think of it as helping the Marquis maintain the relationship with his colleagues."

Aunt Liu said worriedly:

"But what if that miracle doctor really has the ability to cure Brother Jin..."

Zhang's delicate lips curled up, but there was a cold look in her eyes:

"He better not."

"Otherwise, nowadays, there are natural disasters and man-made disasters everywhere. I don't know how many times a mere doctor like him can escape them."

Madam Liu immediately understood her plan and said with a flattering smile:

"Sure enough, nothing can stump Madam!"

*

Madam Yan had just returned from a visit to Cihang Temple today to try to get close to the people when she received a visiting card from the Marquis of Jingnan's Mansion.

He felt a little embarrassed at once, so that night he took the visiting card to seek advice from Yan Tongzhi.

"Master, what do you think we should do? The wife of Marquis Jingnan must be here to inquire about the doctor who cured Yuner. Should we tell her or not?"

"If we don't tell them, we are both officials from the capital who came to Nandu to serve, and it would be difficult to explain. Besides, it's pitiful that Jin-ge got such a strange disease at such a young age. Thinking of how much pain our Yun-er suffered at the time, I really can't bear it."

"But if I tell them..."

This was their previous concern.

The reputation of Cihang Temple spread too quickly, which was very disadvantageous for people like them who were still "guilty".

Yan Tongzhi, however, was not so compassionate. They were not close friends, so why should he sacrifice his own interests just because he felt sorry for their child?

He stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, then made up his mind and whispered something in Madam Yan's ear.

Madam Yan also thought it was feasible, and during the day she asked someone to write back to the Marquis of Jingnan's Mansion.

The next morning, Mrs. Zhang, the wife of Marquis Jingnan, came to the prefecture.

Zhang presented a gift, and the two exchanged pleasantries before getting down to business:

"To be honest with you, Sister-in-law Yan, I came here this time to ask about the miracle doctor who cured Yun'er."

Madam Yan said apologetically:

"It's an unfortunate coincidence that Madam Hou came. He was a traveling doctor. At the time, I didn't know his ability and didn't take him seriously. Later, my son used his prescription for a while and it suddenly worked. Then I realized that this man was really capable. Now you want to ask me about his whereabouts and origins, I really don't know."

Yan Yun had hired many famous doctors and traveling physicians in the past, so it was completely understandable what he said.

Zhang was secretly delighted, but she asked anxiously:

"You really can't remember anything at all? Sister-in-law, can you think about it carefully again?"

Mrs. Yan recalled the incident in a serious manner and shook her head.

But the nanny beside her said:

"I did remember something, I wonder if it can be considered a clue."

Madam Yan looked delighted:

"Come and tell me."

The confidant nanny said:

"I seem to have heard from the apprentice of the divine doctor that the divine doctor really likes the cherry meat from Taibai Tower. He would go there every year or so to enjoy a meal."

"Do you know when the miracle doctor will return to Nandu City?" Zhang asked with concern.

“It’s hard to say.”

Zhang suddenly frowned.

Madam Yan thought for a moment and said:

"How about this... Wanfu family, your son had the most contact with the doctor at the beginning, so he will definitely recognize him when he sees him again. So let your son go to Taibai Tower and wait for the miracle doctor to come again, and then notify the Marquis."

In this way, if they delay for a year or two, and if by then their family has become a devout believer of Cihang Temple, they can tell the truth to the Jingnan Marquis' Mansion.

If Brother Jin's strange disease had not been cured by then and he needed the help of the temple master, they could help introduce him and earn double favors from the Pei family and the Zhang family. It was quite cost-effective.

"Thank you, Sister-in-law Yan!"

After receiving this letter, Zhang didn't even need to make up an excuse and successfully reported to Pei Xiao.

Now that she has nothing to do, she has time to take care of Chen Qingzhu's affairs.

She called Aunt Liu:

"I'm afraid the people from the direct branch will arrive in Nandu City soon. Who is the backup plan left by that bitch? Have you found out?"

Aunt Liu did find out the truth and replied:

"This is strange. I have questioned and investigated everyone in the Jingnan Marquis's Mansion who had contact with Chen, but I found that no one was bribed by her or had close contact with her."

"I have also had people carefully observe the other concubines for many days, but I have not found anyone secretly colluding with her."

Zhang pondered for a while, her face gradually darkened, and then she slammed the table:

"Bitch! How dare you play tricks on me!"

He raised his head, his eyes full of gloom, and ordered:

"Madame Liu, take your people to Jingci Temple tomorrow and take that bitch to the East City Villa!"

How dare she play tricks on her? She even blackmailed and threatened her before. She couldn't get rid of the hatred in her heart unless she skinned that bitch alive!

"Yes!" Nanny Liu accepted the order.

Early the next morning, he brought four servants and four strong maids and went to Jingci Temple in a heroic and high-spirited manner.
