Instructing Huixin to watch the child so as not to be trampled by the lamb, Grandma Liu pulled Su Nianyun into the house.
"Princess, what exactly did you promise Mr. Xiao? Why did he suddenly send so many sheep?"
"Mama Liu, it's like this..."
Su Nianyun then told Xiao Lei that he came here to ask her to heal his throat.
"Princess, if Xiao Lei wants to pay you, he only needs to give you a banknote or silver coins. Why do you have to give so many sheep?"
"Actually, I only asked him to send one or two to me every day to practice my skills. How could I have thought that he would send so many at once? He misunderstood what I meant!"
"Princess, what kind of skills are you practicing? Why do you want to practice your skills?"
Aunt Liu looked at Su Nianyun seriously, "Are you afraid that I won't agree if you tell me?"
Su Nianyun smiled and said, "The one who knows me is Grandma Liu."
She didn't expect that Xiao Lei's formation was so big, and she couldn't even practice secretly.
"I need animals to practice my skills. I want to treat Xiao Lei's throat. I need to reopen the wound on his neck and then connect his vocal cords..."
"Princess, stop talking!"
Mother Liu's neck felt cold when she heard this, and she couldn't help but cover her neck, "'Princess, this is too dangerous, you can't do this kind of thing to Xiao Lei."
"But I have already promised him, and you see that he is obviously looking forward to it by sending so many sheep. I can't go back on my word."
"Princess!" Nanny Liu said earnestly, "This is too risky!"
"Mother Liu, I know you are worried about me. If you can't cure Xiao Lei, you won't be able to explain it to the Xiaohou Mansion. However, doctors practice medicine, which is inherently risky."
"Xiao Lei was treated by me alone. No one knows the original injury to the inside of his neck better than me. Therefore, I have a higher chance of helping him reconnect his vocal cords..."
"Princess, if it were anyone else today, I wouldn't be so firmly opposed to it, but Xiao Lei really can't do it."
"Princess, I just heard Chunhua say a few words."
"She said that you sympathize with Mr. Xiao's current situation, being looked down upon by others, being squeezed out by his brothers, etc. To be honest, I sympathize with him too..."
"But do you know who his mother is?"
Grandma Liu highlighted Xiao Lei’s mother.
"Wei Shi, she is a very arrogant and domineering woman. The Wei family is a distant relative of the royal family. Wei Shi has been showing off her power in the capital since she was a child."
"Xiao Lei is her precious son, and he is an only child. If anything happens to you while you are treating Xiao Lei, she will definitely not give up!"
"Once you get entangled with such a woman, it will be like a toad jumping on your feet. You will be disgusted by her for the rest of your life!"
"Mother Liu, your description..." Su Nianyun couldn't help laughing.
"Princess, I'm telling you the truth, I'm not kidding."
In fact, Su Nianyun was aware of Webster's reputation in her previous life, but after listening to Grandma Liu's words, she finally had a complete and clear understanding of Webster's reputation.
Although he knew that Wei Shi was tough, Su Nianyun still did not change his original intention, "Mother Liu, I still want to treat Xiao Lei."
After listening to Grandma Liu's words, Su Nianyun understood better why Xiao Lei was so eager to regain his voice.
I'm afraid that his powerful mother may have forced him a lot, right?
When Nanny Liu said this, Su Nianyun sympathized with Xiao Lei even more.
"Princess!" Grandma Liu's voice was filled with sadness.
Seeing that after she finished speaking, the princess's expression became more determined, and she knew that her words had the opposite effect.
"Princess, you must not..."
"Mother Liu, don't rush to refute me, just listen to me first."
Su Nianyun said, "Although Webster is domineering and strong, her son is a son, and Xiao Lei has the freedom to choose."
"You haven't seen that when Xiao Lei came to beg me today, there was a hint of self-abandonment in his eyes."
"Mama Liu, do you know?"
"At the Dongling Military Camp, Xiao Lei's neck was pierced by an iron arrow. At such an urgent moment, there was no death intention in his eyes."
Aunt Liu was stunned.
Su Nianyun recalled when Mobei rescued people, "At that time, so many military doctors were unable to do anything to him, but he still did not give up, his eyes were full of the desire to survive."
"But in less than a year, he was obviously in good health, but the light of survival was gone from his eyes..."
"Tell me," Su Nianyun asked Aunt Liu, "should I agree to him?"
"Even after I helped him, his voice did not recover, but what if it improved?"
"Or, if he dies right then, this is something he can accept!"
Aunt Liu still said the same thing, "Princess, this is really too...adventurous!"
"Even if this is Xiao Lei's own choice, it is not Wei's choice. If she gets into trouble, even the Queen Mother may not be able to protect you."
"It doesn't matter," Su Nianyun said nonchalantly, "do your best and obey fate!"
Seeing that the princess was determined to help Xiao Lei, Grandma Liu said, "If you, princess, must help Xiao Lei, be sure to ask him to write a farewell letter or something in advance."
There are two advantages to having Xiao Lei write a farewell letter.
First, it was to scare him, arouse his fear of death, and make him give up his fantasy of healing his throat.
The second is to give Webster an explanation in case of an accident, so that Webster can make less trouble.
"I know," Su Nianyun said with a smile, "Mama Liu is still thoughtful."
In fact, both the master and the servant thought Webster was wrong.
After all, it is her son who understands her best.
If she had known that her son's throat had a one-in-a-thousand or one-in-a-ten thousand chance of being cured, she would have sent her son to Su Nianyun as soon as possible.
Webster will restore her son's voice at any cost, even if the cost is the possibility of losing her son.
Compared to a son who is alive and useless, it would be better to die.
"Okay, Aunt Liu, Xiao Lei's matter has been decided. Anyway, he even sent the deposit!"
Su Nianyun ended the topic and diverted Grandma Liu's attention with another topic.
"Mommy, get ready. Let's enter the palace tomorrow!"
"Princess, do you want to see the Queen Mother?"
Su Nianyun nodded.
"I have always promised the Queen Mother to bring Jing'er into the palace for her to see, but by chance, I have never brought Jing'er into the palace!"
"Yes, yes," Nanny Liu nodded, "That's it."
"The Queen Mother has said this many times before, but the princess never takes the young master with her!"
Su Nianyun smiled. Jing'er was too young before and she couldn't find a real enemy, so she didn't want to involve Jing'er in a trap too early.
Nowadays, Jing'er is growing up, and she can't stop going to the palace to see the Queen Mother. This shows that she is too unfilial.
Another reason for entering the palace this time was that she wanted to meet Imperial Physician Shen and Gao Wenxuan.
It was true that she promised to treat Xiao Lei, but she was opening someone's neck. She couldn't do it by herself, she had to have helpers!
When Su Nianyun entered the palace, she was thinking of Imperial Physician Shen and Gao Wenxuan.
What Nanny Liu was thinking was that it would be a good idea to enter the palace, so she happened to tell the Queen Mother about this and asked the Queen Mother to advise the princess and stop her from acting rashly.
Webster and the Wei family behind her are really not that simple.
The master and the servant each had their own plans, but Chunhua said, "Princess, you are busy with Young Master Xiao's affairs and entering the palace. Have you forgotten that there are more important things than this?"
"What's more important?" Su Nianyun was stunned for a moment.
Chunhua hated the iron and said, "Little Xiaohou... are you going to leave it like this?"
"When the princess is ready to treat Xiao Lei's illness, won't it be that your and Xiao Hou's wedding is approaching?"
"Princess, you still have a lot of things to prepare for your wedding!"
Moreover, Xiao Hou is still in a bad temper now, and the princess is leaving people alone while paying attention to the unimportant Xiao Lei.
If Xiao Hou knew about it, the two of them would be in even more conflict.
Su Nianyun shook his head, "Xiao Changfeng is not in a hurry. I will think of a solution later. I will go to see the Queen Mother tomorrow."
Chunhua was really worried about this emotionally slow master.
A few days ago, the princess said she didn't understand, but she actually didn't understand either.
At this time, Su Da, Su Er, and Su San drove the sheep to the backyard and then came outside the door.
"Little master, the sheep are all folded. Will you send some back to Sujia Village tomorrow?"
