Noble Lady

Chapter 167: No hidden dangers left

She did show some sincerity when she swore on her deceased husband and children.

At this time, Qi Niang also rushed out, kowtowed with tears streaming down her face, "Miss, Qi Niang is willing to testify that my godmother really only hired a group of beggars to ask for rewards, and she definitely did not arrange such a heartless thing as the frightening horse!"

Xue Chenyu looked at her and said, "Qiniang, you are Mama Li's goddaughter, how can I believe what you say?"

"..." Qinniang looked at her crying, not knowing how to defend herself.

"I can guarantee that I can fight for Mother Li." Mrs. Xue's resounding voice came from the main hall.

Then, she walked out slowly accompanied by He's mother.

When Madam Li saw Madam Xue, she kowtowed repeatedly in guilt, "Madam, I am so sorry for you. I am so sorry for your trust and cultivation over the years!"

"You're at fault in this matter, but it's not entirely your fault. The most urgent task is to resolve the current predicament."

Mrs. Xue said this and asked Mother He to help Mother Li up.

Then he turned to Xue Chenyu, "If you don't believe me, I can vouch for Madam Li. She may have a grudge against the He family, but she is definitely not such a heartless person. She will not implicate so many innocent people."

Xue Chenyu sighed, "I'll ask Madam Li about the feud with the He family when I have some free time. Right now, I have a lot of things to do. Mother, please take the third girl back first."

That’s right, Xue Chenyu originally wanted to go directly to Jishan Hall, but after thinking about it, she still felt that she should send He Jixiang away first.

Mrs. Xue looked at He Jixiang who was following behind her with a package and nodded to her.

"Don't worry, nothing will go wrong with me. You can deal with the He family's affairs first. If you have any difficulties, feel free to send someone to inform your family."

"My daughter understands."

Mrs. Xue and her people left through the side door.

After sending her to the carriage, Xue Chenyu turned back.

"Yuzhu, come with me later. Qiuhua, change your clothes and go to Ciwenyuan to keep watch. You can go there and look after Aunt Zhao."

"Yes."

"Yumei, go ask around on the street and find out who the person who helped control the frightened horse is today. He has done the He family such a great favor, we can't let him go unrewarded."

"Dongyue, you and Yuli, keep an eye on the yard and don't let anyone else in. If the Second Madam brings any news from the Cui family, let her go back first. I'll see her when I come back."

Arrangements had been made for the four maids, only Mother Li and Qiniang were still looking at her with tears in their eyes.

"Mother Li, Qi Niang, although what happened today is not entirely your fault, it is inextricably linked to you. Until the truth is clear, I will not lock you up, but you should all behave yourself for now."

"Don't cause me any more trouble at this juncture."

"Yes." Mother Li and Qiniang lowered their heads.

After making simple arrangements, Xue Chenyu took Yuzhu out and headed straight for Jishan Hall.

She knew that she wouldn't be back for a while, so she had to arrange everything in advance.

The doctor just now couldn't cure Liu's condition, but Liu couldn't afford to get into trouble at this juncture.

She must invite Dr. Xu back.

But she couldn't invite Doctor Xu back too easily, otherwise it would only confirm the accusations made by He Minzhi and Liu against her - it was obvious that if she went, she could invite him back, but she was unwilling to do so.

She couldn't leave any hidden dangers for herself.

When the carriage arrived at the gate of Jishan Hall, Xue Chenyu helped Yuzhu get off the carriage.

At this time, people were coming and going in Jishan Hall. The red dress she wore specially for the wedding was particularly eye-catching. When the medicine boy saw her, he took the initiative to step forward and say hello.

"Mrs. He, you are here again."

"Yes, Brother Wu, is Doctor Xu available? My old lady's old illness has relapsed and she is in critical condition. Could you please ask Doctor Xu to come and treat her?"

The medicine boy known as Brother Wu immediately showed an embarrassment. "But, but our master said that he will not go to the He family for treatment anymore."

Looking up and seeing Xue Chenyu's worried face, he softened his heart, "...Then, I'll ask the Grand Master for you, Madam He. But it may not work."

"Brother Wu, it's a great favor that you're willing to pass on the message. Thank you very much."

Brother Wu was too embarrassed to look into her eyes and quickly hid behind her.

People were coming and going in Jishan Hall, and at this moment, they were all looking at Xue Chenyu.

Firstly, the red dress he was wearing was too eye-catching. Someone who didn't have any happy events at home wouldn't dress like that for no reason.

Secondly, the medicine boy Wu just called her Madam He, and today in Kyoto, a daughter of a Hanlin family named He had just caused a sensation by using stones as a dowry to show off.

Some people who often come to Jishan Hall, when they hear the surname He, immediately think of the last time an official came to Jishan Hall in official robes to bully others, and that person also had the surname He.

Moreover, Doctor Xu even hung a sign in front of his door saying that he would not see patients with the surname He. This could not be a coincidence.

Others were pointing and talking, but Xue Chenyu acted as if nothing happened.

Yuzhu stood in front of her and lowered her voice and asked, "Miss, will Doctor Xu refuse to see a patient?"

"Yes." Xue Chenyu whispered.

Yuzhu looked at her in disbelief.

If you knew Dr. Xu wouldn't see you, why did you come here? Is it just to let these people point fingers at you?

"Yes." Xue Chenyu seemed to see through her thoughts.

Yuzhu couldn't understand and was shocked, but she still followed Xue Chenyu diligently.

In any case, she couldn't let the girl face these criticisms alone.

Doctor Xu in the room was watching everything outside through the door curtain.

Then, he instructed Brother Wu, "Xiao Tong, go out and tell the lady outside that I have already said that the He family is heartless and ungrateful, and I will not go to the He family for medical treatment. Please don't waste your time and go back early."

"Grandmaster?" Brother Wu was shocked. "Didn't you say that Madam He was a good person? She even said before that she liked this junior very much."

Why don't you want to go?

"Silly child, it is because I cherish this junior that I cannot just go with her. Go ahead."

As he spoke, he pushed Brother Wu out.

Brother Wu walked over with a frustrated look on his face. "...Madam He, it's my fault for not explaining myself clearly. The Grandmaster said..."

"He said he had already said that the He family was heartless and ungrateful, and he would not go to the He family for a medical consultation. Please don't waste your time and go back early."

"How could this be..." Xue Chenyu seemed to have suffered a heavy blow and staggered back a few steps in a daze.

Yuzhu quickly supported her: "Miss, are you okay?"

Seeing this, Brother Wu also wanted to step forward to help, but since it is not appropriate for men and women to touch each other, he couldn't do anything and hid his hands behind his back.

"Madam He, my master really said so. I can't help you. It's better to go back and seek help from others."

"Thank you, Brother Wu." Xue Chenyu walked out in a daze, but she kept muttering to herself, "The old lady's illness at home was only controlled by Doctor Xu..."

"I've consulted every doctor in Kyoto, and they all say they can't help me. I can only try my luck with Doctor Xu..."

As she spoke, she knelt down at the door.
