Chapter 313 Show Your Sincerity First
After coming out of Rong'an Hall today, Su Zhiru followed the mother and daughter back to Helinyuan.
He didn't say much, just followed them all the way, and finally followed them to his mother's room, where he asked them about their inspection of the store today.
Jiang just said calmly, "Everything went well!"
Then he just ignored Su Zhiru.
Such a cold attitude made Su Zhiru unhappy. He wanted to see to what extent Jiang could quarrel with him.
But until he left the room, Jiang didn't say another word to him, and Su Zhiru couldn't help feeling very depressed.
Seeing his master's cold face, Chen Mu knew that he was being treated coldly by the Third Madam, but he couldn't blame the Third Madam!
"Chen Mu, Master, I just want to talk to her, is there anything wrong with that? She refuses to say even a word more." Su Zhiru's brows were twisted so tightly that they almost pinched a few flies to death.
"Third Master, Third Madam is angry. Don't worry. Take your time. Once Third Madam calms down, everything will be fine."
Chen Mu said comforting words. Naturally, he also hoped that the Third Master and the Third Madam would reconcile as before, so that they, the servants, would have an easier time.
But seeing how the Third Lady didn't treat the Third Master today, he was afraid it would be difficult to coax her into submission again.
Su Qingwan understood her mother's attitude very well. She never thought of persuading the two to reconcile because it was not worth it.
As soon as Su Zhiru left, Nanny Ji, who came to look for Su Qingwan, arrived.
"This servant has greeted the Fourth Young Lady. The old lady asks you to go and invite the Divine Doctor's apprentice over now."
After hearing this, Su Qingwan put down the tea bowl slowly.
"We agreed to go tomorrow, why is Grandmother Kang so anxious that she wants me to go now? It's already so late, I can't come back even if I go to the palace."
Nanny Ji thought this was Su Qingwan's excuse and hurriedly said, "Miss Fourth, please think of a solution. The old lady only asked me to inform you to go now."
"It's not impossible to go now, but has Fifth Sister told Grandmother Kang and Second Aunt about what I told her this morning?"
"Yes! The old lady said that as long as the genius doctor's apprentice has good medical skills, it is normal for the consultation fee to be a little higher." Nanny Ji continued.
This is not something that Master Kang would say, but it doesn’t matter, as long as the money can be paid.
"That's good. Give me the banknotes and I'll take them to the palace." Su Qingwan is not stupid. If she wants Da Nian to make a trip here, she must have money to pave the way.
"Silver, silver notes?"
When Nanny Ji came over, she didn't mention anything about the banknotes. She looked at Su Qingwan with a confused look on her face.
"It seems that Nanny Ji didn't bring any silver notes. Then you go back and tell Grandmother Kang and Second Aunt that I can go over to invite the divine doctor's apprentice. They should first send 10,000 taels of silver notes to show their sincerity. After I take the money, I will have the nerve to go to the palace to invite people."
"Go back!"
Su Qingwan asked Nanny Ji to leave.
She doesn't want to go out anymore now. She has been running around outside all day. She might as well wait until tomorrow.
Nanny Ji had no choice but to leave.
Jiang had not said anything just now. After the people left, he asked, "Is it really so expensive to treat the disciple of the divine doctor?"
"Of course! It cost fifty thousand taels to treat my uncle. It is said that this is only one month's treatment fee. We have to pay more later."
She did not tell her mother that her uncle was faking his illness. Also, Da Nian entered the palace in disguise, so even if her mother saw the genius doctor's disciple, she would not be able to recognize who he was.
"So expensive? Does the palace have enough money?" Jiang asked anxiously.
"Mom, don't worry about this. It's impossible for such a big palace to not have 50,000 taels. And if it's not enough, my aunt said we can borrow money from the emperor."
This was also the idea that Su Qingwan gave to her uncle.
My great uncle had been a soldier all his life and had made great military achievements. Even during the wars, he captured a lot of spoils, not to mention various rewards. However, the royal palace was not engaged in business like the Jiang family, so this money was not a small amount for a family of pure ministers.
In the eyes of outsiders, the royal palace without military power is like a piece of fat and juicy pork belly. Who wouldn't want to take a bite?
Therefore, the money of the palace had to be transferred out, and the best way was to consume it quickly, and using it to treat my uncle's illness was the best way.
Soon it will be time to pay the next medical fee, and it will be almost time for my aunt to go to the palace to see the emperor.
"Qingwan, why don't you write a letter to your uncle and ask him to send some money over." Jiang suggested.
Su Qingwan rejected it mercilessly.
"Mom, do you know who the best butcher in the world is and who the fattest pig in the world is?"
Jiang had no idea. "Child, I'm talking to you about something serious. Why are you talking about butchers and pigs?"
The topic will be diverted.
"In the eyes of the royal family, the jeweled Jiang family is the fattest pig in the world, and the royal family is the butcher who loves to kill the fat pigs."
Su Qingwan's tone suddenly became serious, and what she said was not alarmist.
"how come?"
"Mother, how could it not be? There have been so many cases of killing the rich to help the poor. Once my uncle is implicated with Prince Yi's mansion, the Jiang family will definitely be slaughtered by the royal family."
Jiang was really frightened. She patted her chest and said repeatedly, "Mother didn't say anything just now, just pretend you didn't hear it."
"Well, I'll pretend I didn't hear it." Su Qingwan giggled.
After that, he accompanied his mother for dinner before returning to his own Fuguangyuan.
Over there, old Mrs. Kang was cursing loudly, without any dignity of an old lady in the marquis's mansion.
"Little whore! You've fallen into the trap of money, you black-hearted bitch. The merchant girl is really good at calculating, and she talks about money all the time. She just asked her to go to the palace to deliver a message, but she insisted on bringing money with her. She has money in her hand, why doesn't she take out the money herself!"
Liu looked relaxed and indifferent.
Anyway, it's not her own money that she's spending, so she doesn't feel bad about it.
What's more, she hoped that the disciple of the genius doctor could not be invited. In that case, Xiaokang would not be able to stand up, and Su Yueqi could sleep peacefully in the grave. What a good arrangement.
Xiaokang was so anxious that she burst into tears. She didn't have ten thousand taels on hand. If she had, she would have asked Nanny Ji to send it over long ago.
"Aunt, what should we do with Yueqi?" Xiaokang asked crying, wiping her tears.
Old Mrs. Kang had a sullen face. She had originally wanted to ask Su Qingwan to bring the genius doctor's apprentice over, and then talk about the money after he cured Xiao Kang and Su Yueqi's illnesses.
By that time, it will be up to you to decide how much to give.
But I didn't expect that Su Qingwan would deliberately go against me and directly asked Nanny Ji to ask me for 12,000 taels of silver. My good plans were ruined just like that. It was really infuriating!
Old Kang glanced at Liu, who was daydreaming, and immediately decided to let her pay.
"Liu, don't just stand there and watch. Go back and get 10,000 taels of silver."
Liu was startled and stood up in a panic, and said quickly: "Madam, so many things happened in the first house before, and each of them cost money. How can I have any money?"
