Yuan Wei's Quick Travel

Chapter 438: Cannon Fodder in Stepmother's Story 10

"Miss, your medicine is ready. It will be more effective if you drink it while it's hot. Let's drink it first."

Tao Yue did not take the bronze mirror as Feng Zhining requested, but changed the subject as if nothing had happened and brought the bowl of steaming medicine to Feng Zhining.

Looking at the bowl of black potion in front of him, Feng Zhining couldn't help feeling unhappy.

She always preferred to have Zishu serve her, because Zishu would never be like Taoyue, who would often go against her orders just because she was sent by her aunt.

Moreover, after this fall from the horse, her whole body was covered with scars, and there was not a single intact part.

Tao Yue, a maid who traveled with her, was able to escape the disaster unscathed, which made Feng Zhining unable to let go no matter what, and her dissatisfaction and anger surged in her heart.

Feng Zhining slowly lowered her eyes, hiding the fierceness that flashed across her eyes.

She quietly picked up the medicine bowl and drank the bitter medicine in small sips. Every sip seemed like swallowing endless pain and unwillingness.

In his previous life, he had never suffered such serious injuries. Even if it was just a small accident, he could always get out of danger in the end.

But now, just because of such a tiny change, everything has become unrecognizable and completely deviated from the original planned track.

So, are the memories of the future in her mind still accurate and reliable?

This question was like a heavy rock pressing on Feng Zhining's heart, making her worried.

She didn't know whether she could still rely on this known information to successfully marry into the Qi family and become a highly-regarded lady of a marquisate.

"Give me the bronze mirror."

As soon as he finished drinking the medicine, Feng Zhining couldn't wait to give instructions again.

What she cared about most at this moment was her appearance, fearing that the injury would leave an indelible scar on her face.

For a woman, appearance is extremely important. If she is really disfigured, how can she go out and meet people in the future?

More importantly, Qi Yuqing would never marry a woman with facial blemishes!

Tao Yue stood aside, silently watching Feng Zhining, whose face was full of anxiety, knowing in her heart that she could not escape this disaster.

She sighed helplessly and replied softly, "Yes, girl."

Then he turned around to get the bronze mirror, his steps seeming particularly heavy.

Feng Zhining frowned, staring suspiciously at the slightly blurry face in the mirror. In a soft but doubtful voice, he slowly asked:

"The doctor said they were just minor scrapes? Then why do we need to apply so much medicine? Go and invite the doctor back. I want to ask him in person."

Hearing this, Tao Yue on the side looked embarrassed and trembled, as if there was something she couldn't say.

However, before she could open her mouth to explain, Feng Zhining's eyes suddenly became fierce, as if two cold rays shot straight at Tao Yue, and he shouted sternly: "Hurry up and go!"

Seeing her daughter angry, Tao Yue felt helpless and had to bite the bullet and tell the truth:

"Young lady, please calm down. To be honest, our doctor was sent out of the house by the Madam on some business. This time, the doctor who came to treat you was invited from the Heshan Hall outside with great effort."

Having said that, Tao Yue couldn't help but sigh slightly.

The doctor at the Heshan Hall is not someone you can easily hire.

The girl has always been a lavish spender and has never cared about money.

In the past, under the care of the Crown Prince's wife, the girl had a lot of money. The Crown Prince's wife would often give her some financial subsidies, so the girl had no idea how to be frugal and save money.

In order to successfully invite the doctor from the Heshan Hall, Tao Yue even used up all of Feng Zhining's remaining money.

After a pause, Tao Yue added cautiously:

"As you know, the doctors at Heshantang are highly skilled and renowned, making them naturally more difficult to hire than ordinary doctors. The monthly allowance you received from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion has long been spent. As for the monthly allowance from the Feng Mansion..."

Feng Zhining had never cared about money in the past, nor had he ever paid much attention to it.

Chang always forgot Feng Zhining when she distributed the monthly allowance, and Feng Zhining didn't care at all.

Gradually, the Feng Mansion stopped paying Feng Zhining monthly wages.

Hearing Tao Yue's words, Feng Zhining was so angry that he almost fainted.

It's like a tiger in trouble is bullied by a dog!

I think she is just in such a difficult situation temporarily, so how come even asking a doctor to see her is a luxury?

Thinking back to the past when she was in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, she had such a smooth life. Whenever she felt unwell in the slightest, her aunt would be extremely worried and take great care of her.

Feng Zhining couldn't help but feel a little regretful, but what she regretted was not the plot against Yuan Wei, but the regret that she had not acted secretly and carefully enough.

Feng Zhining hated Zishu even more. If it weren't for her, how could she have been implicated and made her aunt unhappy.

At this moment, Feng Zhining was still unaware that Feng had already found out about her plan to frame Yuan Wei.

Feng Zhining still stubbornly believed that she was in such a situation purely because of Zi Shu's involvement.

Feng Zhining looked at Tao Yue who looked troubled, gritted his teeth and said:

"Then pick out a few pieces of jewelry that you don't need on a daily basis and take them to the pawnshop to get some money to solve your immediate problem first."

Unexpectedly, Tao Yue still responded with an embarrassed look on her face: "Miss, have you forgotten? You came back directly from the Princess's residence. Most of your clothes and jewelry were left at the Zhenguogong Mansion and were not brought back!"

Feng Zhining: "..." When has she ever been so poor? !

Feng Zhining stroked the bracelet on her hand, unable to bear to take it off and pawn it. She closed her eyes and said, "Go... ask my aunt to find a doctor for me."

Zhenguogong Mansion, Yimengxuan.

A gentle breeze blew by, bringing a hint of coolness, and at the same time gently lifted a corner of the thin gauze curtain hanging by the window.

Looking out through this faint gap, you can vaguely see a graceful figure bending over the desk, writing something with great concentration.

At this moment, there was a creaky sound, and the door was slowly pushed open, and Nanny Wu walked in with small steps.

When she looked up and saw the peaceful and tranquil scene before her, she was slightly startled, but she quickly recovered and silently saluted: "Miss."

Time seemed to freeze at this moment. After a long while, Yuan Wei finally put down the pen in her hand, raised her head and looked at Aunt Wu, and asked slowly, "What's the matter?"
