The sister-in-law was wrong, please forgive her, my black-bellied brother-in-law

It seems that it is difficult to find out the news that the Grand Tutor is ill.

It was not until the evening that Ren Qingzhou and Li Wencai returned to Sanweiwu one after another.

When Qiao Xi heard them come back, she couldn't wait to come out and ask the results.

Considering that it was night, Ren Qingzhou brought Qiao Xi and his fellow seniors and juniors to occupy Xiao Yushan's study room. Anyway, he was not in the mansion and did not need it now.

Ren Qingzhou looked at Qiao Xi and said slowly, "I asked my second brother, and he said that the Grand Tutor did take sick leave. But no one knows what the specific illness is.

But the Second Prince is very suspicious about whether he is ill!"

Qiao Xi frowned: "Why do you say that?"

Ren Qingzhou: "Second brother said that he got the news that during the two days when the Grand Tutor was sick, there was a relatively unfamiliar guest who stayed in the Grand Tutor's residence, and the Grand Tutor would summon him to talk every day.

If you are really sick, you won't see guests, especially every day.

The key point is that when he talks to his guests, it’s just the two of them, and no one else knows what they’re talking about.”

After hearing this, Qiao Xi also felt that the Grand Tutor's illness report was indeed suspicious.

"Big Brother, have you found out any news?"

Hearing the question, Li Wen nodded quickly.

"I found out. I asked a number of colleagues, and one said he had been invited to the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

However, he went there not to treat the Grand Tutor, but to treat a man in the Grand Tutor's mansion.

Seeing that the Grand Master treated that retainer with great courtesy, I guess that this retainer might be the same person as the one Third Junior Brother mentioned.

Unfortunately, my colleague didn't know the name of the retainer, but he said he was young and handsome.

From this perspective, that retainer was a key figure.

"Big Brother, have your colleagues mentioned whether they will return to see the guests of the Grand Tutor's Mansion?"

Unexpectedly, the junior sister reacted so quickly. Li Wen nodded with appreciation:

"He really said that, and the follow-up consultation time is at the end of tomorrow morning."

"Does the Grand Tutor's Mansion have strict controls on who enters the mansion?"

Ren Qingzhou's eyes suddenly darkened: "Junior Sister, what do you mean -"

Qiao Xi nodded and said bluntly, "Third Brother, you're right. I want to go with the colleagues of the eldest brother."

Then she looked at Li Wen and said, "Big Brother, did your colleague say that we can't let too many people follow us?"

Li Wen shook his head. "I'm not sure about that. But I'll go out and ask my colleague later."

Junior Sister, please get ready first."

Qiao Xi: "Okay."

"If you really want to go, Junior Sister, why don't I go with you?"

Ren Qingzhou was a little worried about letting her follow a stranger into the Grand Tutor's Mansion. After all, the current Grand Tutor Ruan Linyuan was an old fox.

My junior sister is still young, and it would be dangerous if she revealed any flaws.

You have to know that the Grand Tutor's Mansion is not a good place. Now the whole Baidi City knows that every two or three months, a dead body will be carried out of the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

"I'm afraid not. The first time, the eldest brother was the only one of his colleagues who went. Now that there are suddenly more people, it is more likely to arouse the suspicion of the Grand Tutor.

If we bring one more person, it would undoubtedly tell the Grand Tutor that there must be something fishy going on."

"Can--"

Li Wen was also worried and wanted to say something, but just as he opened his mouth, he was stopped by Qiao Xi:

"I know you're worried about me. But don't worry, brothers. As long as I work well with my senior brother's colleagues, everything will be fine.

Besides, I know medical skills, so even if the Grand Master doubts my identity, he won’t be able to find out anything.”

It was impossible for him to go to Jiuque to ask Concubine Ruan Yunheng just for her.

Seeing that she insisted on going with them, the five senior brothers were helpless.

Ren Qingzhou could only place his hopes on Li Wen's colleagues, hoping that he would not reveal any flaws.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked his senior brother Li Wen to explain the matter to his colleagues so that the risks could be minimized.

Having talked about this, they had almost said everything that needed to be said, so the people in the study dispersed.

Except for Li Wen who left Sanweiwu again, everyone else returned to their rooms.

At the beginning of the Si hour, Qiao Xi, who was waiting for news, heard a knock on the door. She was startled and jumped up from her chair to open the door.

Outside the door was Li Wen who had just left.

"Junior Sister, everything has been arranged. A carriage will come to pick you up tomorrow morning.

If you need to bring anything, try to prepare it tonight.

And don’t forget your veil!”

Her face was too eye-catching, so wearing a veil could prevent some people from prying at her.

"Okay!" Qiao Xi nodded with a smile on her face. "Thank you, Senior Brother. It's too late, Senior Brother, go and get some rest."

After seeing Li Wen off, Qiao Xi entered the space and picked out the pills, herbs, and other things she wanted to take with her.

Of course, the most important thing is to wash your face with the spiritual water in the space.

She no longer had to go to the Jiuque Harem, so she didn't have to worry about her wounds healing too quickly and arousing the suspicion of Concubine Ruan Yunheng.

Touching the scar that no longer hurt much, Qiao Xi lowered her eyes to look at her reflection in the water, and couldn't help but imagine how Xu Yi would react when he saw the scar on her face when he came back.

Would he be disgusted by his own ugliness? Would he be frightened by the ugly scar on her face?

Or, if he knew that his scar was somehow related to Concubine Ruan Yunheng's threat against him, how would he react?

After thinking about it, Qiao Xi couldn't imagine Xu Yi's specific reaction. Thinking that there was still a "battle" to fight tomorrow, she went to bed early.

……

"Mr. Fu, thank you very much today."

The carriage swayed, and Qiao Xi thanked Fu Chunfeng who was sitting opposite her.

There is still some distance between the Xiao Mansion and the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

The carriage had been traveling for nearly a quarter of an hour since leaving the Xiao Mansion. Fu Chunfeng still found it hard to believe that Li Wen suddenly had a younger junior sister.

According to him, his junior sister is an excellent doctor. From his few words, it seems that one can hear that his junior sister's medical skills are even better than his.

You know, in the entire Baidi City, there is almost no one whose medical skills can be compared with his.

Of course, except for his uncle whose medical skills are a bit abnormal.

Looking at the little girl now, even though she was wearing a veil, he really couldn't see what was so powerful about her.

Out of courtesy, Fu Chunfeng politely replied:

"I just helped a little, Miss Qiao, you're welcome."

Li Wen said that his junior sister's surname was Qiao, so he called her "Miss Qiao".

"I still have to thank you. By the way," Qiao Xi handed over a paper bag, "It's just a small gift, not a token of respect. I hope Doctor Fu won't refuse it."

Fu Chunfeng looked at the paper-wrapped object. Just by looking at the outside, he couldn't tell what was inside.

Thinking that it could be casually wrapped in paper and she could hold it casually in one hand, it shouldn't be something valuable.

So Fu Chunfeng took the thought into his arms.

Just as the two of them were talking for a while, the carriage had already arrived in front of the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

Fu Chunfeng got off the carriage first and handed over the visiting card. The guard at the gate took a look and let the two in.

"The Grand Master is meeting with guests, please wait a moment!"

The servant of the Grand Tutor's Mansion left this message and went about his own business, leaving Fu Chunfeng and Qiao Xi waiting outside the Grand Tutor's courtyard.

In the Grand Tutor's Mansion, the two men watched their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses, not daring to move rashly.

Until I heard a "creak", the door of a room was opened, and two figures came out.

The first person to come out was an old man. Judging from his demeanor and the way he was dressed, you could tell he was not an ordinary person.

I think this older person should be the Grand Tutor.

The other one is the Grand Tutor's guest.

Qiao Xi looked behind Grand Tutor Ruan Linyuan through the veil. Although she couldn't see clearly, she recognized who he was at a glance.

It was none other than Xu Yi, whom she had been missing these days.

Why did he appear in the Grand Tutor's Mansion? And why did he become the "guest" that Grand Tutor Ruan Linyuan valued?
