The Story of a Spoiled Daughter Raising a Husband

“That’s right. Didn’t you tell me to follow Su Yun these days? I’ve been secretly watching her, and today I discovered that she’s been seeing a doctor.” Yun’er said.

Tong Qian narrowed her eyes, roughly understanding what she meant.

A woman confined to her boudoir, having close ties with a doctor, coupled with the matter of Ji Quan, suggests that this affair is not simple.

"Don't act rashly. Do you know who that doctor is?" Tong Qian said, glancing around before pulling Yun'er towards her courtyard.

Once inside, Tong Qian finally released Yun'er.

Knowing that it was safe here, Yun'er quickly said, "I checked, the doctor is from Shou'an Hall. I went with him to see him, and it seems that Su Yun gave the doctor a silver ingot."

"Where did she get the money?" Tong Qian frowned.

The entire opera troupe arrived with very little money, so she was responsible for providing their food and clothing. She had spent a considerable amount of money on them over the past few days, and Su Yun had used the money to bribe the doctor.

Yun'er shook her head, not knowing, but she figured that girls always had some personal money.

"Let's go to Shou'an Hall tomorrow," Tong Qian said after a moment's thought.

Without evidence, Su Yun cannot be easily convicted, but with evidence, then don't blame her for being impolite.

You should know that what she hates most in her life is others attacking her own people, let alone in a situation like this.

The next day, Tong Qian went to Shou'an Hall with Yun'er early in the morning. Because Yun'er had a special sensitivity to people's appearances, she quickly recognized the doctor who had been with Su Yun the day before.

"I'll go find your family's doctor," Tong Qian said to the young apprentice with a smile.

The young apprentice was used to this kind of thing, so he immediately called out, "Doctor Liu," and then continued with his work.

Doctor Liu, perhaps because he had received silver yesterday, excitedly ran out, asking, "Are these two young ladies feeling unwell?"

“We’re not feeling unwell.” Tong Qian smiled and shook her head, then sat down properly.

Yun'er understood her meaning and quickly stood aside, asking mysteriously, "Doctor, did you know you also have a kind of poison here?"

"What? Young lady, we don't sell poison here. If you want some, go ask somewhere else," Doctor Liu said hastily, thinking the two were up to harm people.

Tong Qian grabbed him and said with a smile, "What's the rush? We haven't even said what kind of poison it is yet."

"What we're looking for is a medicine that can make someone's voice hoarse for a short period of time. Do you know if you have any here?" Yun'er quickly replied.

Doctor Liu glanced at the two women, hurriedly waved his hand, and walked inside. "Ladies, please look elsewhere. We don't have this medicine here!"

Tong Qian gave Yun'er a look, and Yun'er quickly understood her meaning and took out five taels of silver from her bosom.

"Dr. Liu, have you thought this through? If you have it, the five taels of silver are yours. If you don't, then we'll have the authorities investigate. Those who harmed my people won't get away with it," Tong Qian threatened.

Since she had said that, Doctor Liu dared not hide anything anymore and quickly stepped forward and said, "Miss, it's all my fault for being bewitched. This medicine only makes people hoarse for a couple of days, it's nothing serious. I never thought that person would use this medicine for anything."

Doctor Liu was on the verge of tears as he spoke. He knew something was wrong when he gave the medicine to the girl the day before yesterday, but he had already given it away and there was nothing he could do. In addition, not only was nothing wrong yesterday, but the girl even happily gave him a cart of silver, so he thought it was nothing serious. He never expected that the two of them would find him here today.

"Alright, I don't want to hear any more from you. Just take this five taels of silver and give me the medicine, and I'll pretend I don't know anything about it. However, don't let me see you or anyone in our courtyard again in the future," Tong Qian said coldly.

The doctor was ultimately being used; the one who was truly at fault was Su Yun, and she wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for Doctor Liu.

When Doctor Liu saw that she said she wouldn't pursue the matter, he quickly retrieved the medicine and presented it to Tong Qian with both hands.

Having obtained the medicine, Tong Qian sat in the carriage with a sullen face, staring at the medicine in her hand, her hatred churning within her.

She had treated Su Yun quite well, even though she didn't like her, she still let her live in the mansion, and yet she acted like this!

If Ji Quan doesn't recover, then it will be Yu Ling Yuan that loses face!

Upon arriving at the courtyard, Tong Qian asked Yun'er to call everyone to the main hall first, and then she sat down in the main seat herself.

Suddenly summoned, everyone was a little confused, but they didn't think much of it and quickly went to the main hall.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Tong Qian nodded in satisfaction and then said, "I called you all here today for one thing: there's been a thief in our courtyard."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. They all knew each other well, so how could it be a thief?

The main hall became quite noisy. Tong Qian, annoyed by the noise, patted the table next to her and said, "What's the rush? The thief I'm talking about didn't steal anything real; he stole a place that didn't belong to him."

Her words were powerful and resounding, stunning everyone.

Su Yun gave an awkward laugh and said, "Miss Qian'er, what are you talking about? In this courtyard, apart from Young Master Ji, you and Yun'er, everyone else is from the opera troupe. There's no such thing as a place that doesn't belong to anyone."

"Miss Suyun," Tong Qian called out with a smile.

Su Yun didn't understand what she meant and stared at her blankly.

Tong Qian's lips curled into a cold smile, her eyes were icy cold, and she said in a deep voice, "Did I ask you to speak?"

In an instant, a commotion erupted in the hall.

Everyone knows Tong Qian's personality; she never embarrasses anyone in public. How could she be so disregardful and directly embarrass Su Yun today?

Su Yun was also very embarrassed and didn't know what to say. After giving a bitter laugh, she said in a tearful voice, "Miss Qian'er, I don't think I have offended you. Why are you making me lose face like this?"

She looked so pitiful as she spoke, as if she would burst into tears at any moment.

Tong Qian snorted coldly, threw the medicine she had gotten from Doctor Liu on the ground, and looked at her coldly, "Why should I embarrass you like this? You tell me, what face do you have left?"

“This…” Su Yun looked at the medicine packet in surprise, not knowing what it meant.

Yun'er stepped forward and explained, "We went to see Doctor Liu today, and this medicine came from him."

Upon hearing this, Su Yun collapsed to the ground, her pupils wide open as she stared at Tong Qian, who was sitting there.
