The Divine Doctor and the Crazy Concubine: My princess is very cool
Chapter 32 Nervous
Shangguan Qingge and his group returned to their own courtyard. Aunt Lin's eyes were swollen from crying, and Shangguan Qingxue was frightened out of her wits.
An Ning helped Aunt Lin to the bed, but Aunt Lin still couldn't stop crying. Shangguan Qingge signaled An Ning to close the door. Others also came in, worried and curious. The eldest lady cut off her little finger, but why didn't they feel any pain? Normal people would feel very painful if they had a little skin breakage, but the eldest lady cut off her own little finger.
Shangguan Qingge looked at their frightened expressions, walked to the washbasin, and washed the blood off her hands.
"I told you guys don't have to be nervous, look, I'm fine!"
Shangguan Qingge showed his hand, and all five fingers were intact. What was going on?
"Miss, your...fingers!?" Aunt Lin asked curiously.
"Hey, that's fake. The little finger I cut off was a fake finger I had made a long time ago. The blood was also fake. It was just red dye."
"But...I clearly smell a strong smell of blood."
"Just add a little pig's blood. Remember the pig's blood I asked Mammy to buy for you? I kept some for myself!"
"So that's how it is. I was scared to death!"
"If I hadn't done this, how could Shangguan Jin have let down his guard against me? These past few days, someone has been watching us. Now, with this drama of cutting off a finger to repay a favor, at least he has less reason to keep an eye on me, and it will be easier for me to do things."
The fake finger was a piece of human finger soaked in formalin in Shangguan Qingge's pharmacy, which just made full use of it. The blood was a small plasma bag used as a prop. She injected a little pig blood into it. When cutting, she just had to pinch the plasma bag. Of course, the acting had to be made more realistic.
"Who is watching us?"
"I don't know, I don't know him. Since the second day I came back, I felt that someone has been monitoring us. But based on Shangguan Jin's character, this person might already be in Liu's yard!" Shangguan Qingge said lightly. With her keen sense, there was indeed someone staring at her in the dark. It seemed that this person's martial arts skills were not bad. It was a pity that she didn't know any light skills and couldn't find where this person was hiding, so it was still a bit difficult to get rid of this person!
"My lady, I don't understand what you said to the master. What is this sentence about being a father? Is there anyone who is not the master's child?"
Shangguan Qingge sat down and said.
"Who knows? I haven't checked it, but what if it happens? Qingxue and I can guarantee that it is Shangguan Jin's child, but I can't guarantee it for someone else."
"You mean, Second Miss?"
"I have my doubts. After all, Liu was almost four months pregnant before she entered the mansion. But this is just my suspicion. And don't you find that Shangguan Qingyun and I, as well as Qingxue, don't look alike?"
Aunt Lin thought for a moment, she looked at the eldest daughter and her own daughter. Although the two were not born of the same mother, they looked a bit similar, for example, their eyes. Shangguan Qingge and Shangguan Qingxue had standard almond eyes, which were very bright, while Shangguan Qingyun had a pair of peach blossom eyes, so she looked more charming. The eldest young master also had almond eyes, because Shangguan Jin had a pair of almond eyes. Although Liu was good-looking, her eyes were not peach blossom eyes, but willow leaf eyes. Since Shangguan Qingyun was a child, Aunt Lin felt that she did not look like the master, but she just thought she looked like her mother. Now that she thinks about it, there is indeed something wrong.
"Whether it's true or not, it has nothing to do with us. But after what happened today, if anyone from the Shangguan family dares to enter this yard, I will kick them out! Now in this mansion, the only thing my mother left for me is this yard."
The courtyard where Shangguan Qingge lived was not originally part of the Shangshu Mansion, but a house behind the Shangshu Mansion. It was bought by Zhenbei Hou a few years ago and left to his daughter as a property. After Chen got married, she found that the house was only separated from the Shangshu Mansion by a wall, so she had someone break through the wall and sealed the gate that originally led to the street. However, Chen did not give the title deed of this house to Shangguan Jin, but kept it for herself. Before she died, she gave it to Nanny Qin, asking her to give the title deed to her daughter in the future. This can be regarded as the only thing left to her daughter.
It’s a pity that Shangguan Jin and Liu didn’t know that this courtyard belonged to Chen. They just thought it was given by the court. That’s right, the residences of officials above the third rank in Beiyi Kingdom are not theirs, but given by the court. The land deeds are still in the hands of the court. They only have the right to live in it but not the right to use it, unless they buy the house at three times the market price. However, there are very few officials who can do this, so many officials will buy properties in other places in the capital or in the countryside, so that they can go back to retire and live in their old age.
Shangguan Qingge looked at Shangguan Qingxue who was frightened beside him, took her hand and said.
"Qingxue, you must be scared. I didn't mean to scare you."
The tears on Shangguan Qingxue's face had dried, and she spoke timidly.
"Big sister, I thought you really cut off your little finger. Qingxue was scared to death."
"I'm wrong, do you still remember the cake I told you about? Do you want to eat it?"
"Want to eat!"
Shangguan Qingge took out a small cake from his sleeve and handed it to her.
"I just happened to have one. Are you scared? Come and eat it!"
Shangguan Qingxue looked at the exquisite little cream cake and instantly became happy. She had never seen such beautiful food, nor had she seen such food before. Her eyes were filled with light.
Shangguan Qingge opened the package and handed her a small fork.
"Eat it. When you are unhappy, eat something sweet and you will be happy."
"Well, thank you, big sister."
"Mammy, you and Anshu should go cook. We have been busy for so long and haven't had dinner yet."
Just as Nanny and An Shu were about to turn around and go out to cook, they saw the door was pushed open with a bang. A man in black clothes walked in quickly and grabbed Shangguan Qingge's left hand. His expression was very nervous.
Shangguan Qingge was caught by this sudden person and subconsciously slapped him. This was her conditioned reflex. After she finished slapping him, she realized that it was Bei Yunchen.
The others were also frightened. How could a man break into a woman's boudoir at dark? But they saw that it was His Royal Highness the King, but the young lady slapped him, which made them even more nervous. Shangguan Qingxue was timid and hugged Aunt Lin in fear, and threw the cake aside.
Yun Tong who was following was also so scared that he dared not speak. Master, he was beaten again!
"Bei Yunchen? What are you doing here?"
Bei Yunchen covered his face.
"I heard that you cut off your little finger. I came to take a look."
"You spy on me?"
"No... I was just... worried about you, so I asked Yun Tong to stay a little longer."
Bei Yunchen became less and less confident as he spoke. Yun Tong saw Shangguan Qingge looking at him and looked away awkwardly.
"Does it hurt? I brought some medicine and cloth for bandaging."
Shangguan Qingge showed his intact left hand.
"I am fine. Your Highness, please do not bother me with your concern."
"Miss, who is this?" Aunt Lin was frightened when she saw this scene and asked timidly.
Bei Yunchen saw Aunt Lin lying on the bed, bowed and said.
"My name is Bei Yunchen, nice to meet Aunt Lin."
"Bei Yunchen? Are you the fifth prince?"
When Aunt Lin heard him say that he was Bei Yunchen, she was so scared that she wanted to get up and kneel down, but was held down by Shangguan Qingge.
"Aunt, lie down quietly and don't be polite to him!" Shangguan Qingge's tone was full of emotion. She was very strong and pressed Aunt Lin so hard that she couldn't get up.
"You don't have to be polite, Auntie. It is I who should be respectful to you. If it weren't for you, Qingge wouldn't be alive today. Thank you Auntie Lin for your care."
Shangguan Qingge rolled her eyes. From what position did this guy thank Aunt Lin?
"Your Highness is too polite. This is what I should do."
"Are you done? If you're done, leave now and don't disturb us for dinner!"
"I haven't eaten yet!"
"What does it have to do with me whether you eat or not?"
Aunt Lin held Shangguan Qingge back.
"My lady, His Highness hasn't eaten yet. It's not appropriate for you to chase Him away. Qingxue, go to the kitchen and ask Nanny to make some more food."
When Shangguan Qingxue heard what her aunt said, she walked towards the small kitchen. When Aunt Lin saw Bei Yunchen, her heart was filled with indescribable joy. This Fifth Prince is the eldest lady's fiancé, and the eldest lady must seize the opportunity. Seeing how nervous the Fifth Prince is about the eldest lady, it seems that the Fifth Prince has the eldest lady in his heart. My silly lady, how can you let go of such a good opportunity!
Shangguan Qingge was speechless when she heard Aunt Lin say this. She respected Aunt Lin as an elder, but when she saw Aunt Lin's expression, which was like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, what was going on?
"Thank you, Aunt Lin." Bei Yunchen was still very polite. He didn't act servile, but he also didn't take advantage of his high status. All his actions were just right.
Bei Yunchen sat down unceremoniously and had no intention of leaving.
Aunt Lin asked Bei Yunchen many questions, such as his family, hobbies, salary, etc. Shangguan Qingge did not say a word, and looked like a man being interrogated by the girl's parents. Bei Yunchen also told her everything he could say without hiding anything!
"Mrs. Lin, there are many precious medicinal herbs in my palace. Tomorrow I will send some to you to nourish your body."
"Oh, I don't feel comfortable with this. Thank you so much, Your Highness." Aunt Lin's face was already smiling like a flower. She looked like a mother-in-law who liked her son-in-law more and more. Shangguan Qingge's face was full of black lines.
Soon, the maids prepared the food and invited everyone to eat. Shangguan Qingge, Bei Yunchen, Shangguan Qingxue and Aunt Lin had already sat down, while the others stood aside. Because of Bei Yunchen's presence, the atmosphere was very tense.
"Why are you standing? Sit down!" Shangguan Qingge didn't like people standing while eating, so since she came here, she asked everyone to sit and eat together.
"Miss, this is against the rules!" the nanny said softly.
"Rules? What rules? My rule is that we all eat together! Come on, sit down and eat. Yuntong, you sit down too!"
Yun Tong saw that his master didn't say anything and had no expression, so he sat down timidly. When the others saw that the guards around His Royal Highness had sat down, they also sat down.
There were a lot of dishes on the table, including sweet and sour pork tenderloin, braised pork, braised potatoes, shredded cabbage, cold dishes, etc., all of which were dishes Yun Tong had never seen before.
Yun Tong picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth. It was delicious! The meat looked very fatty, but it was not greasy. The fishy smell of the meat itself was gone, leaving only the fragrance of the meat and the indescribable spice flavor.
"Master, this dish is delicious!"
Bei Yunchen glared at Yun Tong. Yun Tong didn't dare to say anything and could only lower his head and eat silently!
Bei Yunchen also picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.
"Yes, it is delicious, but I have never seen such a dish before!"
"Of course you have never seen such a dish. Even the emperor may not be able to eat it."
"What are you made of?"
"Spices, cinnamon, star anise, bay leaves, etc."
“Aren’t these medicinal herbs?”
"Just eat, why are you talking so much nonsense!"
Shangguan Qingge came to this world and found that it was a food desert. The food everyone ate was very simple and few spices were used because the spices here were used as medicinal herbs and no one would add them to the food. For her own stomach, she gave the nanny a cookbook and asked her to study it carefully and cook for her! The nanny lived up to everyone's expectations and quickly mastered most of the recipes, and was almost at the level of a chef.
Yun Tong picked up a chili pepper from the salad and put it into his mouth. It was so spicy that he spat it out.
"Puh, puh, puh, Master, don't eat this, it makes your tongue feel like it's on fire!"
Yun Tong's action made Shangguan Qingge and others laugh.
"Yun Tong, this is chili pepper. If you put it directly into your mouth, it will definitely be spicy! Just drink some water."
Yun Tong quickly ran to the water and drank a big gulp of water. When he came back, his mouth was swollen from the burning sensation.
Bei Yunchen picked up the red chili pepper and asked.
"Chili? What is that?!"
"My master gave it to me. We don't have it here. This thing can be used for seasoning, dehumidification, and keeping out the cold. It's okay to eat it occasionally, but eating too much will burn your stomach."
"Do you still have this thing?"
"This is included in the seeds I gave to Old Man Li. If you want it, ask him for it after the harvest."
After the meal, Bei Yunchen still had no intention of leaving.
"Why haven't you left yet?"
"Tomorrow night, accompany me to a place. My carriage will be waiting for you outside the wall."
"No time, I have something to do!"
"What's the matter? I want to close the gate of the courtyard and build a door on this side of the wall. Since you have been monitoring me, you know why I did this today. From now on, I will leave through the new gate. I don't want to see anyone from the Shangguan family."
"Just fence off the gate, and I'll find someone to build a new one for you."
"You pay for it?"
"can."
Shangguan Qingge counted her money and found that she had very little left, so she could only make a simple wooden door. If Bei Yunchen helped her, wouldn't she be able to save money and have a grand door at the same time? So she agreed readily.
Looks like I have to find a way to make money quickly.
