Chapter 118 Asking for trouble
"Not urgent."
"You hand this man over to the Dali Temple and tell them the details of the situation here. I think the Dali Temple should be willing to help with the matter of the guests being knocked unconscious at the wedding banquet."
"Yes!"
Cuizhu immediately understood her wife's intention. With people from the Dali Temple present, even if the county lady wanted to excuse herself, she would have to think twice.
This time, in order to give Su Wan full respect, Chu Beiyu not only invited officials from the court but also some other dignitaries. However, he did not expect such a scene to happen. She was also very curious about how Chu Beiyu would feel when he knew that all this was caused by Su Wan.
After Cuizhu took the person away, Ye Qingluo went to the residence specially prepared for Su Wan, the west courtyard of the mansion.
Compared to the East Courtyard where she lives, Su Wan's place has better environment and more maids than other places.
When Ye Qingluo arrived, she happened to see a maid blocking the way. When she saw her, there was obvious surprise in her eyes.
"Madam, why are you here?"
"I can't come?" Ye Qingluo asked back. Qiao'er realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly changed her words, "Madam, that's not what I meant. It's just that my county lady is in a coma now and her condition is very bad."
"I'm afraid you can't go in..."
Qiao'er stood in front of Ye Qingluo. Although she spoke carefully, she had no intention of moving aside.
At this time, Chu Beiyu strode out of the house and said to Qiao'er unhappily, "Why hasn't the doctor I asked you to invite come yet?"
"My Lord, the doctor is on his way, but my Lady..."
While replying, Qiao'er looked at Ye Qingluo in embarrassment.
“Why don’t you go and take a look!” Chu Beiyu’s tone became even more dissatisfied.
It was not until Qiao'er was urged to leave that Chu Beiyu noticed Ye Qingluo's presence. He frowned and his face became gloomy.
"What are you doing here? Do you think things are not going well enough and want to add more fuel to the fire?"
"Your Majesty, it sounds like I am intolerant of others."
Ye Qingluo mocked, "No matter what, you have bowed to the county lady and the marquis, so you are a member of the mansion. As the mistress, you must come and take a look."
“Humph! You’ve remembered that you’re the mistress now?” Chu Beiyu was disdainful. Seeing that Ye Qingluo was still planning to go in, he stretched out his hand to stop her, “What do you want to do!”
"Ye Qingluo, let me tell you, Wan'er is in a very bad condition right now and can't stand any stimulation."
"That's why I came here."
Ye Qingluo’s answer stunned Chu Beiyu, and then mixed with anger.
"What did you say!"
Ye Qingluo was not in a hurry, "My Lord, you forgot that I am a famous doctor. With my sister's current condition, I am afraid that if she can't wait for the doctor to come, her life will be in danger."
"Isn't the Marquis worried?"
After hearing what Ye Qingluo said, Chu Beiyu was obviously a little hesitant, but he still had doubts about her, "How do I know whether what you said is true or not?"
"It hurts..." Su Wan, who was pretending to be unconscious in the room, didn't see Chu Beiyu beside her and was obviously a little panicked.
"My Lord, do you have a better choice now?"
Ye Qingluo raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile.
Chu Beiyu became even more worried when he heard Su Wan's exclamation. This woman was able to treat the empress dowager and receive a plaque bestowed by the emperor. She was indeed more capable than an ordinary doctor.
After weighing the pros and cons, Chu Beiyu finally gave in, "Okay! I'll let you in for treatment!"
"It's just that Ye Qingluo, before that, I still have to remind you that Wan'er's situation is special. She was shot in the chest while trying to save me, and then she got an old illness."
"You'd better get treated. If I find out what tricks you dare to play, I will never let you go."
The smile in Ye Qingluo's eyes did not reach the bottom of his eyes. "My Lord, you can just watch while I treat you."
After hearing this, Chu Beiyu agreed to let Ye Qingluo in. Su Wan, who was waiting for Chu Beiyu to come back, heard footsteps approaching, covered her chest with her hands, and acted weak.
"My Lord Marquis, I..." Su Wan looked up, and when she saw that the person coming was Ye Qingluo, her face suddenly changed.
Wasn’t it the Marquis who came in? How could it be this bitch!
"Sister, why are you here? Where is the Marquis?" Su Wan, who was unable to see Chu Beiyu, seemed inexplicably flustered.
"Sister, you are not feeling well. I happen to know some medical skills and I can treat you."
Ye Qingluo didn't care about Su Wan's reaction and sat down next to her.
"Don't worry too much about the tea, sister. Once your condition stabilizes, we can slowly work it out."
Ye Qingluo said meaningfully.
Su Wan's face turned extremely pale. She was just pretending to be ill. Ordinary doctors could just fool her and send her off with some silver.
But it was obvious that Ye Qingluo was a woman with bad intentions. If he really let her treat him, wouldn't the truth be exposed?
Su Wan's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. When Ye Qingluo approached, she hurriedly said, "Sister, I suddenly feel much better. I just need to rest for a while. There is no need for medical treatment."
"Sister, I have heard the Marquis mention your illness before. Don't take it lightly."
"It hurt so bad just now, but now it's gone. Either the condition has worsened, or you are pretending."
"My Lord, do you think my sister belongs to the former or the latter?"
Looking at the person who walked in, Ye Qingluo asked.
When Su Wan saw Chu Beiyu, her eyes were tearful again.
"My Lord, I am really much better now. I don't need any medical treatment."
Seeing that Su Wan's face was still pale, Chu Beiyu comforted her, "Wan'er, don't worry. With me by your side, Ye Qingluo won't dare to do anything."
"No matter what, it is important to stabilize the situation first."
After Chu Beiyu comforted Su Wan, he looked in the direction of Ye Qingluo and said, "What are you waiting for? Treat her."
Su Wan's body froze, obviously dumbfounded. She didn't expect that Chu Beiyu didn't hear a word she said just now.
Who can't treat me properly, why does he have to let that bitch Ye Qingluo treat me?
If the original plan had not been carried out perfectly, she would have suspected that Chu Beiyu had suspected something.
Ye Qingluo first took Su Wan's pulse, and seeing how uneasy she looked, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister. I will treat you well!"
Since you want to cover up the matter by pretending to be sick, you should understand the consequences of doing so.
When Su Wan saw Ye Qingluo take out a cloth bag from his sleeve and open it to reveal silver needles ranging from thin to thick, she was surprised and took a step back, her voice trembling slightly.
"What do you want to do with these silver needles?"
"My Lord..." Su Wan asked for help in the direction of Chu Beiyu.
"My sister's condition is unusual. If we don't use silver needles, it will be difficult to stabilize her. Moreover, my sister is weak and has been injured by an arrow. If we don't do this, the next attack will not be as simple as pain."
Seeing that Ye Qingluo could describe Su Wan's situation so accurately, Chu Beiyu's initial doubts gradually dissipated.
