Chang'an is good

Chapter 51 Do I have to come in person?
In order to inquire about the news, Jiantong has not returned to the general's mansion for two days.

At this moment, he was wandering in the alleys of the city, wearing simple and shabby clothes, with a few drops of mud on his trouser legs, as if he had just returned from carrying a hundred bags of sandbags from the pier.

And because he was born with a face that is too popular and has no memory, he ran out to play when he was young, and mixed with the children. His father couldn't find out which was his son for a while. This advantage, so Jiantong Knowing that I was born to be sneaky... no, it's a good material for investigation and tracking.

In the past two days, he secretly squatted at the entrance of the alley that the Yao family must pass through to enter and leave the mansion, and has been keeping an eye on the movements of the Yao family.

And because he had already figured out the composition of the Yao family's personnel, Jiantong was able to target some of them very quickly.

In the early morning of this day, Jiantong noticed that a female envoy came out from the back door of Yao's house. She closed the door very cautiously, as if she didn't want anyone to know about it.

Jiantong followed secretly all the way until he saw the envoy walking into a medical hall.

After a while, Jiantong went from dark to bright, and walked in as if he was looking for a doctor.

Seeing the envoy entered the front hall, he was led by a waiter to go behind the screen, Jiantong was about to follow, but was stopped by the waiter who just came out from behind the screen: "Brother, please stay! "

"I'm also here to seek a doctor!" Jiantong pointed to the screen, revealing a bit of just right simplicity.

"But you can't go in." The clerk whispered: "There are all female patients here, if you want to consult a doctor for a family member, you have to wait here for a while, and wait for our doctor to prescribe the prescription for the female patient. You go in again."

Jiantong said "Oh" and nodded.

"Then sit down for a while." The clerk greeted and went to the medicine cabinet to get busy.

Jiantong found a stool and sat down, resting his hands on his knees, seemingly waiting in a daze, but actually pricked up his ears to pay attention to the voice behind the screen.

The voice wasn't too loud, and ordinary people couldn't hear what was being said clearly, but he had been practicing martial arts since childhood and had a keen hearing. If he listened intently at this moment, he could tell the difference.

"...Still not getting better?" A voice that sounded a little old asked about the condition carefully, it should be the doctor in the clinic.

The female envoy was obviously here to prescribe the right medicine for others. After answering the doctor's questions one by one, her voice gradually became a little choked up: "...my aunt is suffering the most! Mr. Zeng, are you looking at my aunt? Growing up, I also know that she has always been kind to others, and outsiders only envy her good luck when she enters Yao's house, but who knows how much my aunt has suffered all these years?"

"A good person, tortured half his life by those ghost soups!"

"He comes from the Pei family, so our aunt can't afford to offend her. She just wanted to live in peace and contentment, and she didn't think about scrambling for anything... But who knows that I met a snake-hearted man, who won't tolerate anyone at all!"

The doctor sighed deeply: "Those avoiding children's decoctions... are three parts avoiding children and seven parts poisonous. If you drink it for several years in a row, your body will not be able to withstand such corruption."

"How dare you not drink it? When I sent it back, it was only said to make up for my body. Then the dowry around Mrs. Pei would always watch my aunt drink it before she would leave!"

"The former Aunt Lu... somehow hid the soup, but in the end she ended up with two dead bodies. Who can give her justice? The Lord was also tortured by that poisonous woman. Don't worry, in the past two years, I have been busy with business affairs, and it is common for me not to return home for three to five days... Who cares whether our aunt lives or dies?"

"What kind of aristocrats... that's a poisonous and crazy woman!"

"If I can't give birth to a son-in-law, I will be suspicious of this one and that one, not to mention heirs, and I won't even leave anyone with a way to survive!"

"In the mansion, I'm always looking at people's faces, and Pei's eyeliner is everywhere, and the old lady doesn't dare to offend her. I only dare to say these words to you..." The maid sobbed. : "Right now, my aunt doesn't ask for anything else, I just ask you to save my aunt's life! After a winter day, my body is getting worse..."

The old man said a few words of comfort to her, but he was a little helpless: "Now that things have come to an end, I can only try another recipe..."

"Then it's up to you to prescribe..."

There was the rustling of paper, pen and ink, and the maid suppressed her sobbing.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the female envoy came out with her head bowed, took the prescription, went to the assistant to grab the medicine, and left without delay.

Jiantong then got up from the stool.

The old man walked out from behind the screen, looked him up and down, and asked after deliberation: "This little brother is here..."

Knowing that the Langzhong and the female envoy are old acquaintances, Jiantong didn't want to turn around and leave, so as not to let people notice the strangeness, so he said with a silly face: "Of course I'm looking for the doctor to see you!"

The old doctor said: "But here we only look at the department of gynecology."

"?" The good psychological quality made Jiantong open his mouth and said, "I came for my mother!"

The old doctor understood: "Then Lingtang has to come by himself, so that the old man can take her pulse and check her symptoms."

Jiantong seemed at a loss: "Do I have to come here in person?"

"It's... It's not impossible for me to come to see a doctor." The old doctor saw his clothes, and explained: "Just pay a little more consultation fee."

"Oh, okay, I see..." Jiantong scratched his head, and said shyly, "I'll go home and discuss with my dad."

Seeing him leave in a daze, the old man shook his head and sighed: "This woman...is miserable."

……

Jiantong went out of the medical hall, and went all the way back to Xingning Fang, hiding his eyes and ears. He changed into the robes he had hidden earlier in the alley, restored his former appearance, and then returned to the General's Mansion.

He reported everything he had gained in the past two days.

"Based on this, the death and illness of Yao Yi's two concubines were all caused by Mrs. Pei?" Chang Suining frowned slightly.

Jiantong: "Just listen to what the envoy said, it's true."

The population of the General's Mansion is simple. Chang Kuo never remarried after his wife's death. Chang Sui'an, who had never been in contact with the secretive struggles in the Hou Zhai, found it hard to imagine: "This Pei family is too cruel and jealous! Then Yao Tingwei, Don't you care about it?"

"The Pei family is very powerful, and Yao Yi hasn't taken a concubine for many years. I guess there is nothing he can do about it. It's not easy to really break up with him..." Chang Kuo frowned and sighed, without further words.

Chang Suining could understand what he hadn't finished speaking.

Helplessness is one aspect, and it is another aspect that he does not value the life and death of concubines so much.A lot of forbearance and embarrassment are torn apart, mostly because the real interests and bottom line have not been touched.

And what's wrong with these two concubines, just because they are sandwiched between this couple, these disasters are born.

The only thing that Yao Yi still has self-knowledge, and his conscience is not lost, is probably that he has not taken concubines anymore.

"Yu Gong's reply said that the Pei family had been engaged to the Jin family's children, but then the Jin family's husband made a ridiculous incident of marrying the second wife as the main wife. For this matter, both Pei and Jin The house was in a very bad situation, so the marriage was canceled because of this..."

Looking at the reply letter in his hand, Chang Suining thought for a while and said: "The year after retiring, Pei Min fell in love with Xinke Jinshi Yao Yi, which led to this marriage... The matter of retiring back then was ultimately disgraceful. I'm afraid that the gentry will not be able to find a good son-in-law, or because of this, the Pei family can only "take the next best thing" and marry the daughter-in-law of the clan to Yao Yi."

"If that's the case, then this Mrs. Pei probably has resentment in her heart." She speculated: "If you were resentful at the beginning, and if something goes wrong after getting married, you will inevitably develop resentment—"

Chang Kuo nodded, frowned and said: "These noble families love to be decent, and the word decent is bigger than the sky!"

"Perhaps she thinks that she is undignified in her marriage and has not given birth to a concubine, so she feels disrespectful about her children, and if a concubine in the family gives birth to a concubine, it will be more like trampling her face under her feet. Therefore, They will never allow such things to happen—" Chang Suining guessed: "And what she did shows her character, Yao Yi sees it in her eyes, and after many years, she must have already been separated from each other."

And not being loved by her husband would probably make Pei feel "disgraceful", and then breed more resentment.

Hearing what his sister and father said, Chang Sui'an, who only cared about her sister's safety, was puzzled and said, "She's devoted herself to these grievances, but these are all Yao's family affairs, so what does it have to do with outsiders?"

"You've hit the point!" Chang Kuo pondered for a moment, and said, "If the person who secretly attacked Suining was indeed Pei, then this matter is worth thinking about..."

To understand a person's personality flaws and the most taboo in daily life is to analyze the motive of this person's murder——

"As Suining said, what Pei's doing after marrying into Yao's family is inseparable from "unreconciled" and "disrespectful". The person she married, Yao Yi, has such a source..."

While Chang Kuo was thinking deeply, Chang Sui'an suddenly stood up, and exclaimed in surprise, "This Mrs. Pei doesn't doubt that Ning Ning is the illegitimate daughter of Mr. Yao!"

The hall fell silent.

Both Chang Suining and Chang Kuo looked at Chang Suian.

"You kid..." Chang Kuo was stunned for a moment, then stood up abruptly from his chair: "Why is my mind spinning so fast this time!"

Don't talk about it quickly, and what is even more commendable is not the speech of the mentally retarded!

Did his kid secretly go to the Rejuvenation Hall to prescribe medicine?

Chang Suining also looked a little surprised.

This sentence can be regarded as an enlightening existence... Although the truth may not be completely consistent, it opened up the mind.

"I..." Chang Suian felt a little embarrassed, and said modestly, "I also guessed casually."

And the support of this random guess lies in...

He was really afraid that someone would take his sister away!
This is the vigilance engraved in the bones of young people since childhood.

"Father, it's impossible for Ningning to be a child of the Yao family, right?"

Chang Suian stared at his father closely, walking on thin ice, and started some inhuman appearance attacks: "I think Captain Yao Ting looks mediocre, so he shouldn't be able to give birth to such a beautiful daughter as Ningning!"

This question, however, stopped Chang Kuo from asking.

Seeing this, Chang Suian's heart raised his throat, and cold sweat broke out: "Father, you should say something!"
