Chapter 216 The Lobbyist

At night, the Qianjin Hall lit up the lights, and the hustle and bustle of the street during the day also disappeared.

Qi Yue put on a mask and gloves and took a stethoscope and walked into the room hung with "ward" lanterns.

There was a patient lying on one of the four hospital beds. His splinted legs were hung up by wide straps hanging from the two beams. At this time, half of the bed board was raised. The man was being served to eat, and there was an old man.

I am studying this bed curiously.

"Why did you just stand it up?" he muttered.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the three of them all looked over.

"Ms. Qi, you're here." The three of them greeted each other enthusiastically, and the old man nodded gratefully.

"What do you want to eat?" Qi Yue asked with a smile.

"It's bean sprouts and bone soup according to Mrs. Qi's advice," said the woman who was feeding the rice.

Qi Yue sniffed it.

"Well, it smells so good. Sister is so good at her craftsmanship." She smiled.

The woman had never been praised like this before. She immediately blushed and didn't know what to say. The key to this woman being good-looking and capable was that she made people feel so good. As for how good she was, she couldn't say. Anyway, she just felt

I want to listen to this woman.

Why doesn't Dingxi Houfu want such a good woman?

As expected, rich people are not something that a village woman like her can understand.

Qi Yue finished examining the injured person and gave a few instructions with a smile.

There are disciples who are responsible for nursing outside and come in to deliver medicine.

"Ms. Qi, when will you be discharged from the hospital?" the old man asked.

"In five days." Qi Yue said.

In fact, it is best not to move this kind of injury. If you leave it in a modern hospital, you will have to stay at least ten and a half days, but...

Qi Yue watched the injured family exchanging visible sighs of relief.

Firstly, everyone is not used to it, and secondly, the cost...

Qi Yue walked out of the ward and saw that the lights in Liu Pucheng's room were still on. He was on duty tonight.

When Qi Yue stood at the door of the house, Liu Pucheng was talking to Zhang Tong. The two of them were standing in front of the table, holding arithmetic chips and calculating something.

"...The money for labor and materials is enough, but the other items are still not enough..." Zhang Tong said in a low voice.

"...I still have a piece of land in my hometown, let's sell it first..." Liu Pucheng said in a low voice.

When they said this, Qi Yue knocked on the door outside.

Seeing Qi Yue standing on the door panel, the master and apprentice hurriedly packed up with some nervousness.

"Ms. Qi, why haven't you left yet?" Liu Pucheng said.

Zhang Tong also respectfully called Master.

"Let's go now, I'll have to work hard tonight, teacher." Qi Yue said with a smile.

"You kid, you always say such polite things." Liu Pucheng shook his head and said.

Qi Yue didn't ask what they were planning, and Liu Pucheng naturally wouldn't tell them.

Qi Yue took Cuizhi out of Qianjin Hall. Under the cover of night, her joyful expression faded and was replaced by a trace of sadness.

She silently looked at the starry sky, wishing it were daylight twenty-four hours a day.

I'm so busy during the day, and when I'm quiet it's... unbearably lonely.

"Ms. Qi." Cuizhi walked beside her and couldn't help but say, "Aren't you tired from doing this?"

"Is this so?" Qi Yue covered up her sadness, regained her smiling face, and looked at her sideways, "I think being a human being is always tiring. No matter what, you won't be tired if you do what you like."

Cuizhi nodded and smiled.

However, Qi Yue looked back at Qianjintang and realized that she would be tired if she had no money.

It was difficult to move around without money, and it was not easy to live in ancient times without money.

Even in the dark night, the lights in Rong'an Courtyard were still brightly lit.

Chang Yuncheng put the scriptures on the table, and Su's mother waved her hand at him.

Mr. Xie closed her eyes on the kang and seemed to be asleep.

"This is the sutra I copied for my mother, and I offered it in front of the Buddha." Chang Yuncheng said to Su's mother in a low voice.

Mother Su nodded and looked at him but hesitated to speak.

"I will set off the next night, so there will be no disturbance at home. I will kowtow to my father and leave." Chang Yuncheng continued.

Mother Su's face turned pale, and Mrs. Xie sat up suddenly.

"You leave now, don't wait for the day after tomorrow." She raised her eyebrows and shouted.

Chang Yuncheng walked up to her and half-knelt down next to the kang.

"Mom, you should take care of yourself at home and don't get angry with your father. If you are bored, go out for a walk. I will have someone send you a letter every month," he said.

Mr. Xie gasped and looked at Chang Yuncheng.

"Four years ago, you walked away because you married that woman. Are you leaving now because you married her?" She gritted her teeth and said.

Chang Yuncheng lowered his head, then raised his head.

"No, mother, when I left, it was not because of getting a wife or anything." He said.

I just don't want to stay in this home.

Xie sneered.

"You can say this now." She didn't believe it at all.

Chang Yuncheng smiled and did not argue.

"Yuncheng, how about we get married before we leave?" Ms. Xie softened and said with pleading.

Chang Yuncheng looked at her.

"Mother, I have fulfilled your wish, and I ask mother to fulfill my wish," he said.

Mr. Xie was filled with anger again.

"So you are still here for that woman?" she said coldly.

Chang Yuncheng lowered his head.

"This, there's no point in talking about it anymore, mother." He said, he raised his head and took hold of Mr.

Married, mother, how are you?"

Xie's expression softened slightly.

"Then the Rao girl..." she said again.

"Mother, she didn't do what I wanted." Chang Yuncheng said simply, interrupting Mr. Xie's words.

Xie clasped her hands.

Yes, only that woman can fulfill your wishes...

"It's getting late, you should go and have some rest." She lay back and said calmly, "Let's let the housekeeper take care of the departure. We are going on a big expedition, why should we just leave like this? It's as if we don't want to see anyone."

Especially at this time! It is the woman who is shameful, not their Dingxihou Mansion!

Chang Yuncheng hummed and thanked his mother, but he knelt down and did not get up.

"What else do you want to say?" Xie asked, knowing that he understood him.

"Yue Niang's..." Chang Yuncheng said, and the word "Yue Niang" slipped across his lips, and he felt a sting in his heart, "Give her the dowry."

Xie sat up suddenly.

"Dowry? What kind of dowry does she have!" She raised her eyebrows and yelled, "Don't forget how she entered our prince's house! It's a shame she can tell it! It's a shame you can listen to it!"

When she said this, she pointed her finger and spoke neatly without saying any nonsense.

"roll.."

Chang Yuncheng got up and went out.

The next day, Ms. Xie heard the news that Chang Yuncheng had sold the land in her name. She was so angry that she cursed her. She was about to scold all the family members when someone came to thank the old lady.

Mrs. Xie was so frightened that she couldn't care about anything and hurriedly picked her up personally.

A year later, Mrs. Xie is in good spirits, but she looks a little older.

"Mom, why are you here? I'm so far away. If anything happens, someone can call me." Ms. Xie hurriedly supported her, her face full of worry and nervousness.

Old lady Xie entered the house on crutches.

"It's okay, I heard your place is quite lively, so I came over to take a look." She said.

Ms. Xie immediately looked at the girls and women around her. Everyone shook their heads at her, indicating that they didn't say anything.

"Don't look, it was Yuncheng who told me." Mrs. Xie sat down and said.

Mr. Xie suddenly looked angry.

"Okay, please sit down." Mrs. Xie said, looking at her, "How old are you? You still have the same temper as a little girl."

Ms. Xie sat down, her expression still angry.

"He actually disturbed your purity, mother. He really deserves a beating," she said.

Old lady Xie smiled.

"You got your wish." She said after a moment of silence.

Mr. Xie stood up and looked at Mrs. Xie.

"Mother, is it just for me?" She looked sad and angry.

"Okay, okay." Mrs. Xie smiled and stretched out her hand to hold her, "I'm not here to accuse you. If we divorce you, we'll divorce you. If you drive us away, we'll drive you away. We are destined to be at odds with each other, so there is no need to feel wronged to each other."

These words still sounded a bit awkward, so Mr. Xie sat down next to Mrs. Xie.

"I came here for one thing." Mrs. Xie said.

"Mother, please speak," Ms. Xie said.

Her expression was unprecedentedly respectful and gentle. If Qi Yue were here at this time, he would definitely think that Mrs. Xie had changed someone.

"Give her a dowry." Old Mrs. Xie said.

Ms. Xie stood up suddenly and looked at Mrs. Xie in disbelief.

"This is not for her, but for Yuncheng." Mrs. Xie continued, looking at Mr. Xie.

"Mother, why!" Xie bit her lower lip and said.

Old lady Xie stretched out her hand to hold her.

"Mei Niang, why did you give the Wu family brother a bag of silver in the first place?" she said.

Mr. Xie's face suddenly changed, her body stiffened, and she looked at Old Mrs. Xie blankly, her lips trembling slightly.

Mrs. Xie sighed and patted Mr. Xie's stiff hand.

"If you give him the money, will you feel better and be able to let go of it?" she continued.

Mrs. Xie's body was trembling, Mrs. Xie's words echoed in her ears, but behind those messy thoughts, the words that shone brightly were the words "little brother of the Wu family".

Brother Wu...

Xie reached out to touch her face. Although the skin on her hands was still delicate, it was no longer the same as before.

The little sister of the Xie family has become the wife of the Chang family, and the little brother of the Wu family has turned into a handful of dust.

"Mom, it turns out you know." She murmured.

Mrs. Xie sighed.

"Which child's thoughts can escape the mother's eyes? Aren't you just as clear about what Yuncheng is thinking?" She said, smiled, and pulled Mr. Xie to sit down.

"What about mother..." Ms. Xie said in a low voice.

"Why didn't I say anything?" Mrs. Xie took over the conversation and said with a smile, "You only have a little money. For that bag of silver, you haven't bought anything for several months. Your life is not as good as that of a girl."

Ms. Xie smiled, this time with a pursed lips, and her usually sharp eyebrows showed a bit of shyness.

Shy!

Less shy and more astringent.

"I added some more to your baggage to send it out this way to make it look better." Old Mrs. Xie said. She looked out the door with a somewhat reminiscing look on her face.

Mr. Xie stood up and lowered his eyes.

"Mother, I..." she whispered, her voice dry.

"Mei'er, I've always felt sorry for myself. I haven't felt sorry for myself for so many years. You must also feel the same way." Mrs. Xie interrupted her and said.

Mr. Xie said nothing.

"Speaking of which, Yuncheng's temperament is more like yours, very stubborn." Mrs. Xie looked at her and said with a smile.

"I don't have a virtuous sister, and I didn't teach Yuncheng well." Ms. Xie said in a low voice.

Old lady Xie pulled her to sit down again.

"You are very good, Mei Niang. I will owe you my whole life," she said.

"No, no, mother, I want to do this. I don't care about your affairs. You persuaded me like that because I want to marry you." Xie shook her head and said with a firm expression.

Mrs. Xie smiled.

"Give her the dowry." She changed the subject and said.

Mr. Xie clenched his hands.

"Yuncheng has her in his heart, and you know this very well." Mrs. Xie continued, looking at Mrs.

, just like you did before."*** (To be continued)
