Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy
Chapter 186 Stop the action?
When Aunt Hua suddenly asked about He and Song Tianbao, Xie Qingyao's heart was beating like a drum. Her eyes flickered slightly, and she said softly, "Grandma, don't worry. Mother and brother are adults, so nothing will happen to them. Maybe it's their first time in Shengjing City, and they're just going out for a couple of days to have fun."
"Tomorrow's events are related to the future glory of the Song family. That is the most important thing. After tomorrow, it won't be too late for Grandma to look for Mother and Brother."
Xie Qingyao had a bright smile on her face, but that smile did not reach her eyes. She sneered in her heart, thinking that after tomorrow, this old immortal would be useless and could be dealt with!
Aunt Hua returned to her room worriedly. She picked up the teapot and prepared to pour a cup of tea, but saw something under the teapot.
Her heart skipped a beat. This scene was exactly the same as when the man in the black mask asked her to meet him. She wondered what instructions that man had given her. Could it be that he couldn't wait any longer and was urging her to get rid of Xie Qingli as soon as possible?
Aunt Hua picked up the thing with trembling hands, and opened it to reveal another small silk note with the words "Stop Action" written on it.
Aunt Hua's pupils suddenly shrank. She looked again and again. It was indeed a notice for her to stop the action. She was full of doubts in her heart and suspected that the note was not written by the man in the black mask.
But she took the note and examined it carefully. After a cup of tea, she finally confirmed that it was indeed the note from the man in the black mask, exactly the same as the previous two times.
She frowned, feeling worried. Should she continue with the plan for tomorrow?
……
Miaoxin Hall.
In the backyard flower hall, Xie Qingli, dressed as the hopeless young master, sat upright on a chair. Han Jue stood behind Xie Qingli, his head held high, his eyes full of hostility glaring at Chu Yuncang, who was sitting opposite him.
Chu Yuncang didn't care. He pointed at the five guards standing in the middle and said softly, "Li'er, we need to send people to Jiazhou and Xunzhou to investigate Lu Li's case. You can use Li'er to dispatch these people."
He paused slightly and added, "Don't worry, Li'er. They are not shadow guards. They belong to me completely."
Xie Qingli's lips curled up unconsciously, and she said softly, "Thank you, Your Highness. I will not be polite then."
She was just worrying about the limited manpower available, but she didn't expect Chu Yuncang to appear with his men the next second.
Xie Qingli pondered for a moment, then divided Han Jue and the five guards into two groups, three people in each group, and headed for Jiazhou and Xunzhou respectively.
She ordered, "Go to Xunzhou and investigate, focusing on gathering evidence of Shen He's infidelity." An idea suddenly dawned on her mind, and she added, "Also, we need to investigate Lu Xiuzhang's concubine, Mao, and find out what happened before she married Lu Xiuzhang."
Mao was originally Lu Li's mother's cousin and had lived in the Lu family for a period of time. After Lu Li's mother passed away, Lu Xiuzhang chose Mao because he thought that Mao was Lu Li's aunt and would treat Lu Li well.
After Mao got married, she soon became pregnant and gave birth to Lu Qian prematurely. However, Lu Qian was strong and healthy, not like a premature baby. Perhaps, Lu Qian was not Lu Xiuzhan's!
Xie Qingli turned to look at Han Jue again and warned, "Han Jue, when you get to Jiazhou, you must keep a close eye on Mao and Lu Qian. They might harm Lu Li."
She stared at Han Jue and said in a deep voice, "Lu Li is very important to me. I must protect her safety."
Several people hurriedly accepted the order. Without further delay, they immediately set off as planned, and Chu Yuncang also said goodbye and left.
As soon as they left, Ding Bo hurried in and whispered, "Sir, Shao and Ni'er want to see you."
A hint of surprise flashed in Xie Qingli's eyes. She nodded slightly to Uncle Ding, and Uncle Ding brought the Shao mother and daughter in.
Shao pulled Ni'er to her knees on the ground with a plop, and said gratefully: "Divine doctor, we are grateful for your great kindness and are willing to work like a slave to repay you." Then, the mother and daughter kowtowed to Xie Qingli.
Xie Qingli winked at Leng Shuang and said gently, "Healing Ni'er is just a doctor's duty. You don't have to do this."
Leng Shuang stepped forward to support the mother and daughter, but they insisted on kneeling on the ground. Shao's eyes were slightly red, and she choked up and said, "The miracle doctor not only saved Ni'er's life, but also helped us get justice. Now that my uncle has been sentenced to exile, no one will mistreat us mother and daughter anymore."
A few days ago, the legal battle between Miaoxintang and Deyitang finally came to a close. After much deliberation, Dali Temple Minister Fan Yuan finally decided to give the Meng family a fair trial. In the end, Shao's uncle was convicted of attempted murder and sentenced to exile a thousand miles away. Deyitang, for hiring a hitman to cause trouble, received prison sentences ranging from three to seven years for its manager and associates. Deyitang was ordered to compensate Miaoxintang for damages to its reputation with three thousand taels of silver.
Miaoxintang has become very famous and has been packed with patients these past two days, so much so that the two doctors on duty are already a little stretched to the limit.
Xie Qingli thought of the situation of the Shao family mother and daughter, and said in a clear voice: "Have you thought about how to live in the future?"
Mrs. Shao nodded and said, "The house my uncle lives in was actually left by my husband. I want to clean it up and rent out two rooms. Ni'er is old enough and can do some laundry."
She looked at Xie Qingli with bright eyes and choked up, "I want to come to the clinic to help out to repay the great doctor. I don't know much else, but I can do laundry, cooking, sweeping, and other things..."
Xie Qingli frowned slightly and said calmly, "Then you can stay in the clinic and do the cleaning and laundry. But the clinic will pay you a salary every month, which is enough for you to support Ni'er."
"Ni'er is still young, she should learn some skills. If she is willing, let her stay in the clinic as a medicine boy!"
Shao had originally intended to repay the favor, but she hadn't expected to take advantage of the doctor again, and her heart tightened. Ni'er, who had been silent the whole time, said crisply, "Divine doctor, Ni'er is willing. Thank you for your kindness."
After sending the Shao mother and daughter away, Xie Qingli took care of the clinic's affairs, changed back into women's clothing, and returned to Jing'an Marquis Mansion. As soon as she entered Li'an Garden, she saw Aunt Xu waiting at the main door.
Xie Qingli was slightly startled, wondering what Madam Xie was up to! She quickly stepped forward and said softly, "Madam, do you have something to ask Li'er? Come inside and sit down."
Aunt Xu smiled and shook her head, saying loudly, "Miss, there's no need to bother. I'm here to pass on a message and will be leaving soon."
"The old lady has instructed you to go with her to the Xuanjing Temple outside the city tomorrow to burn incense and pray for blessings. You will set off at noon tomorrow. Miss, please be ready tonight. Please be on time this time, otherwise you will definitely anger the old lady."
"Xuanjing Temple?" Xie Qingli frowned slightly, wondering, "Is it a Taoist temple? Why are you suddenly going there to burn incense and pray for blessings?"
Nanny Xu's eyes flickered slightly, and she whispered, "It was the Second Miss who suggested that the old lady go, saying that it was to bless the Marquis's Mansion with good fortune."
Was it Xie Qingyao's suggestion? Xie Qingli's mind was filled with alarm bells. She suddenly recalled her past life's death, which had also taken place in a Taoist temple, and also by a group of Taoists dressed in strange clothes. Could this be Xie Qingyao's move?
