The young man was not afraid of her and retorted, “They didn’t do it just because you said so? There are so many physicians, so why did you only arrest your family’s?
Hu Biyun bit her lip and said indignantly, “It was the Number One Hall who framed my father and my second uncle!”
Manager Sun waved his fan and walked over casually. “Yo, I don’t like to hear Miss Hu’s words. What do you mean by our Number One Hall framing you? Your father personally brewed the poison, and your second uncle bribed someone to administer the poison. Your family’s medicine boy has already confessed. There are witnesses and evidence. If you’re not convinced, go to the Dali Temple and beat the drum!”
“You…” Hu Biyun flushed in agitation. “That medical woman is a spy sent by your family!”
Manager Sun mocked, “Even if what you said is true, you have to take the bait, right? If not for your malicious intentions, who would force your father to refine poison and your second uncle to drug the Empress Dowager’s ointment?”
This person was used to avoiding the important points. This was not the case at all!
Hu Biyun couldn’t win against Manager Sun and was so angry that she trembled!
A waiter said, “Miss, Benevolence Hall can’t continue. Our salary… Are you the one who will settle it for us?”
A patient also said, “And the consultation fees for us patients… We spent money to seek treatment. Your Benevolence Hall has been sealed. Who will compensate us for our money?
“Yes, yes…”
Hu Biyun was quickly surrounded by the staff and patients of Benevolence Hall.
However, she did not have much silver with her, so she could only escape first.
When she finally shook off the group of people and returned, the door of the Benevolence Hall was completely sealed. “How could this be… How could this be…”
“Sister.”
Hu Hui’s voice appeared behind her.
Hu Biyun turned around and looked at him with a choked voice. “Brother… Benevolence Hall has been sealed..
“I know.” Hu Hui suppressed the swelling pain in his throat. “Come home with me first.”
She wiped her tears and said, “Father and Second Uncle were wronged..
Hu Hui said nothing.
She grabbed Hu Hui’s arm. “Brother… can you beg the Young Marquis?”
Hu Hui was Jing Yi’s friend. He had relied on Jing Yi to get to know Xiao
Zhonghua.
Hu Hui said desolately, “I’ve looked…”
Hu Biyun hurriedly said, “What did the Young Marquis say?”
“He brought it on himself. He couldn’t blame anyone. The Young Marquis believed her and did not believe that she would frame anyone.”
Hu Biyun continued, “Where’s the Third Prince?”
Hu Hui said sadly, “The Third Prince personally tried this case. If he wanted to help, the Third Prince would have helped long ago.”
“I don’t believe it… I don’t believe I can’t save Father!”
Hu Biyun did not give up. She was unwilling to accept her fate!
She went to look for her cla.s.smates and her old friends, but unfortunately, no one was willing to see her.
It had started to rain heavily.
She stumbled through the rain.
Suddenly, a carriage stopped beside her.
The curtain was lifted, and a graceful girl got out with an oil-paper umbrella.
“Miss Hu?”
She asked softly.
Hu Biyun could barely open her eyes from the heavy rain. She looked at her in a sorry state. “Miss Lin?”
This person was Lin Ruyue, who had been expelled from the Palace Academy not long ago.
Lin Ruyue said in surprise, “It’s really you… I thought so just now… But… how did you end up like this?”
Hu Biyun’s heart ached. She walked forward and pulled Lin Ruyue’s sleeve with her wet hand.
“Miss Lin, can you help me? Let the Grand Commandant go to His Majesty and plead for mercy on my father’s behalf…”
Lin Ruyue’s father was the Grand Commandant of the current dynasty and was deeply valued by the emperor.
A while ago, because of Lin Ruyue’s collision with the Grand Empress Dowager, he was admonished for having failed to teach his daughter and lost the right to supervise the Divine Bow Unit.
However, he still had a say in front of Emperor Jing Xuan.
Lin Ruyue chuckled. “Kneel down and beg me.”
Hu Biyun looked at her in disbelief.
Lin Ruyue mocked, “Why? You’re not willing? Didn’t you want to save your father? You can’t even kneel and beg. I think your filial piety is only so-so.” Hu Biyun squeezed her fingers and knelt down in humiliation. “I beg you…”
“Hahaha…
Lin Ruyue laughed exaggeratedly.
“When I was expelled from the Palace Academy by the Grand Empress
Dowager, I asked you to find your father to plead for me. What did you say? You said that your father was very busy and couldn’t see anyone. Then, I said that I was fighting for justice for you, so I reprimanded that girl. What did you say?”
Lin Ruyue bent down and whispered into Hu Biyun’s ear, “You said you didn’t ask me to.”
“Hahaha! Hahahaha!”
After Lin Ruyue mocked Hu Biyun, she left happily!
Su Xiaoxiao earned a lot of money in the palace. She carried her full box of consultation fees and left the palace in satisfaction.
She saw the jade-like man beside the carriage at a glance.
He was really eye-catching.
His looks were almost comparable to Wei Ting’s.
Su MO looked at her in amus.e.m.e.nt. “Why are you so happy?
She handed the brocade box in her arms to Su Mo. “Here, consultation fee.”
Su MO opened it and took a look. He said with an exaggerated expression,
“There’s so much. Looks like you’re very powerful.”
Su Xiaoxiao was not humble at all. “Of course! I’m a divine physician!”
Su MO couldn’t help but laugh. He opened the curtain and let her get into the carriage.
The two sat down.
As expected, there was another jar of freshly peeled walnuts on the table.
What was worth mentioning was that although Su Xiaoxiao ate every day, she restrained herself and didn’t eat much. She usually didn’t eat more than five.
Even so, Su MO always peeled more and fed it to her.
And there were new ones every day.
Su Xiaoxiao grabbed a walnut and ate it.
Su MO poured her a gla.s.s of water. “The evidence of Hu Jiusheng’s crimes has been found. The news that he plagiarized Imperial Physician Fu’s work has also spread. His reputation has been ruined.”
Su Xiaoxiao’s cheeks puffed up. “He deserved it. Who asked him to frame
Imperial Physician Fu back then?”
“Frame Imperial Physician Fu?” Su MO did not know that there was such a thing.
Su Xiaoxiao deliberated for a moment. Since the joyous pulse was not Bai Xihe’s, there was nothing she could not say to Su Mo.
Wait, this idea was very dangerous. Why couldn’t she tell him Bai Xihe’s secret?
Could it be that in her heart, Bai Xihe was closer to her than Su MO?
Impossible.
She did not want to get close to that cunning woman!
Su Xiaoxiao curled her lips in disdain.
Su MO saw the rich expression flash across her face and couldn’t help but smile. “What’s wrong?”
“Oh, nothing.” Su Xiaoxiao returned to the topic and told him the secret that Emperor Jing Xuan had slept with Bai Xihe’s personal female official.
“Imperial Physician Fu faked his death and left the capital because of this. It should have been Hu Jiusheng who went to ask for her pulse. This is f*cking…
“Cough!” Su MO coughed.
His sister had to be soft and cute. She was not allowed to curse.
“Cowardly thing.”
She was about to finish.
Su MO was speechless.
After Su MO sent his sister back to the medical center, he went to the Divine Bow Camp to look for Su Yuan.
Su Xiaoxiao carried her small treasury and leisurely entered the lobby.
The medical center was quiet today. Everyone worked quietly and did not even dare to breathe loudly.
An old Matriarch sat in the lobby, casually drinking tea.
However, her aura was powerful, and no one within a hundred feet survived!
Su Xiaoxiao looked at her strangely and propped her arm on the counter. “Who’s this that’s so arrogant?”
Manager Sun pinched his throat. “Yes, yes, yes!”
“What?” Su Xiaoxiao didn’t hear him clearly.
Manager Sun desperately winked. “Yes, yes, yes, yes!”
Su Xiaoxiao was confused.
Matriarch Wei said indifferently, “He said, Matriarch Wei..”
