âYes, yes, yes! Thatâs it!â Xiao Si seemed a little excited. âMiss Su is truly a genius doctor. You can even discern this!â
Xiao Yu didnât say anything, but the expression in his eyes indicated his dissatisfaction with Su Yingxue.
Even ordinary doctors could diagnose this.
However, he had been in poor health since childhood. Over the years of illness, his father had always worried that the words of the Taoist priest would come true and that he wouldnât live past thirty. So, they searched far and wide for renowned doctors, but even so, there was no improvement.
Meanwhile, his mother spent her days in tears, blaming herself for not being able to give him a healthy body.
And himselfâ¦
âThe Xiao family has a vast business empire. I reckon no less than ten people are serving Young Master Xiao closely, right?â Su Yingxue casually inquired.
It was Xiao Si who replied again. âYes, I serve young masterâs calligraphy and travel. Young master has four personal maids, four people in the accountantâs room, and about ten to twenty people who attend to him daily!â
Su Yingxue took a deep breath. âJust as I suspected.â
Xiao Yu sensed that Su Yingxueâs words held deeper meaning and asked, âWhat do you mean?â
âYoung Master Xiao has too many people around him. Itâs not conducive to your recovery. Why not keep a few loyal ones? The others shouldnât linger around you. It would be beneficial for your condition.â Su Yingxue released Xiao Yuâs hand and began prescribing him a treatment.
After writing the prescription, Su Yingxue instructed Xiao Yu to follow it for three days before coming to the Marquisâs Manor for a follow-up.
Seeing that Su Yingxue didnât ask much and didnât say much, Xiao Yu, not even sure if she understood his symptoms, didnât quite believe in her medical skills. He took it as a favor to his aunt and immediately left for the Marquisâs Manor.
But Su Miaoyan saw through the situation. She took Su Yingxueâs arm, her eyes probing. âSister, is Young Master Xiaoâs illness not that simple?â
It seemed like something that couldnât be solved with just a few prescriptions.
Su Yingxue rubbed her head. âItâs so complicated that I donât even know how to broach the subject.â
If the Xiao family were an ordinary family, she would have told Xiao Yu directly that the people around him were not trustworthy. They had poisoned him since childhood, and his years of illness were caused by the accumulation of toxins.
But he was the young master of the Xiao family, the heir to immense wealth. If she told Xiao Yu, and he caused a commotion upon his return, Marquisâs Manor would not find peace.
She couldnât be so rash. She needed to think carefully about how to express herself. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
In Fengzao Palace, the person Chu Chengye had sent to monitor the entrance of Marquisâs Manor came to inform him that Xiao Yu had left.
The empress had an irreconcilable grudge against Su Yingxue. Chu Xiaotianâs matter had failed to significantly harm Marquisâs Manor and had even allowed them to gain such a huge advantage. This angered her. âSu Yingxue, that little wench, has she colluded with the Xiao family again? Sheâs taking advantage of everything!â
âIt may not be advantageous this time, Mother. The situation of the Xiao family is complex. If Su Yingxue dares to meddle, she wonât emerge unscathed. Besides, my Ninth Imperial Uncle has always cared about Su Yingxue. No matter what, I must inform my uncle about her interaction with Xiao Yu.â
A hint of malevolence flashed in Chu Chengyeâs eyes. After enduring so much at Su Yingxueâs hands, Chu Chengye had learned to be patient. When he had his power, he would seek out Chu Yihan and Su Yingxue to avenge himself!
That night, in Noble Consort Xiaoâs palace.
When Granny Song approached Noble Consort Xiao, she found Noble Consort Xiao reclining on the chaise lounge, engrossed in reading a romance novel written by Chu Jinling..
