"you……!"

Mrs. Shangshu was so choked by the words of the Master of the Divine Medical Pavilion that she could not speak. Seeing Mrs. Shangshu's cowardice, the Master of the Divine Medical Pavilion deliberately added fuel to the fire.

"I have long heard that the wife of Shangshu Mansion was remarried by Lord Shangshu. In the past, we ordinary people did not believe it, but now we see it and realize that there are not many stepmothers in the world who treat their children well!"

The director of the Divine Medical Pavilion took a look at the sedan chair not far away, and asked for help.

"The eldest lady of Shangshu Mansion is poisoned and is about to die in front of others, but Mrs. Shangshu is here to argue with me as a small businessman for a mere ten thousand taels!"

"The eldest daughter of the dignified Shangshu Mansion is so ignored! If the daughter of an ordinary family has a bad character, the family will sell iron to treat her daughter. But now in a wealthy family like the Shangshu Mansion, they are actually ready not to save her!"

"The late Madam of Shangshu Mansion is really unfortunate! If she knew that her daughter was treated like this by her stepmother, she would probably turn into a ghost and seek revenge on you, stepmother, right?"

The director of the Divine Medical Pavilion deliberately made a loud noise, and soon people gathered to watch the excitement.

Ordinary people like these gossips about wealthy people the most, which just add fun to their ordinary lives.

So when I saw someone making trouble in the crowded Divine Doctor Pavilion, I rushed over in a crowd.

"Shopkeeper, are you saying that the person carrying this sedan chair is the eldest lady of the Shangshu Mansion? Although the stepmother does not love the first lady's children, the Lord Shangshu cannot watch his own daughter die, right?"

The gossips in the crowd sang along with the innkeeper of the Divine Medical Pavilion.

"This little brother, you don't understand. As the old saying goes, if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather! The first lady of Shangshu Mansion has passed away. If this father also becomes a stepfather, the eldest lady of Shangshu Mansion will have to

I’m suffering!”

"I don't believe that the world can be so bad! Xu Xian dares to bully the children of the main family. Is there any royal law in this world?"

Everyone treated this matter as a matter of fun.

The reputation Mrs. Shangshu had gained by pretending to be virtuous for many years was lost among everyone in just one day.

Xi Qingyan was sitting in the private room upstairs, drinking tea and watching jokes!

But Xi Chuyu, who dared not see anyone because of the scratches on her face, was not the kind of mother who could endure such insults to her.

"Open your dog eyes and see clearly! Is this lady that bitch Xi Qingyan? Are you all so full that you are telling lies here?"

"I advise you to keep your mouths clean! This is my mother! My biological mother! Do you know what a serious crime it is to insult the official wife of a court official?"

Xi Chuyu ignored it and cursed at the Li people outside.

She thought she could make the group of people who were watching the excitement run away, but she didn't expect that as soon as she appeared with a scratched face, the crowd's chatter became even louder.

"Aren't you the eldest lady of Shangshu Mansion?"

"Yes, I heard that the eldest lady of Shangshu Mansion has been disfigured since she was a child! Look at her ugly appearance. She still doesn't admit that she is the eldest lady of Shangshu Mansion!"

"Miss, your face is ruined, but your heart is also ruined if you can't follow her! The former Madam Shangshu was such a good person, how can you say that the woman in front of you is your biological mother?"

When Xi Qingyan's biological mother was alive, she was a particularly upright and elegant woman. Her reputation for helping the weak and helping the poor was spread throughout Kyoto.

It is because of this that the wife of the newly married minister will try every means to suppress the first lady.

What a pity, justice lies in the heart of the people.

She concealed herself very well, but in fact her ulterior motives were visible to all onlookers.

"Mother, mother, I...I'm not ugly, right?"

When Xi Chuyu heard everyone's discussion, she was so frightened that she slumped to the ground.

Everyone who sees Xi Qingyan's invisible face will avoid it. She, Xi Chuyu, doesn't want to become a monster that even men dare not look at!

"Mother, you have to save me! Save me!"

Xi Chuyu was extremely scared.

She could no longer care about anything else and kept begging Mrs. Shangshu to save her.

He still wants to become Princess Li, and must not become an ugly monster.

"Chu Yu, aren't you making things difficult for your mother? How can I get ten thousand taels of gold?"

Mrs. Shangshu also knew that this matter could not be delayed any longer, but she really did not have so much money!

There are so many mouths to eat in the house of the Minister of Etiquette. As the head of the house, she does not have a generous dowry to support her. It is not easy to maintain the dignity of the house of the Minister of Rites. Now she is asked to give out 10,000 taels of gold. This is not

Are you taking her life?

"Mother, my daughter's face is more important than the money! Give it to him quickly!"

Xi Chuyu used to like others to watch her beauty, but now that her face is rotten, she always feels that those people are laughing at her if they take a second look!

"this……"

Mrs. Shangshu didn't know what to do for a while.

"I am your biological daughter, mother. Do you still want to have a disfigured eldest lady in Shangshu Mansion?"

Seeing that Mrs. Shangshu was still hesitating, Xi Chuyu shouted out anxiously.

These words made Madam Shangshu enlightened.

The disfigured Xi Qingyan would be ignored in Kyoto. She must never let her daughter Xi Chuyu end up in that miserable state!

"good!"

Mrs. Shangshu gritted her teeth and agreed to the matter.

"Shopkeeper, I will sign an IOU on your counter today! As long as you give me the antidote, I will definitely ask someone in the house to send you the money!"

Mrs. Shangshu really couldn't afford that much money, so she could only issue an IOU first.

"Sorry, the Miracle Medical Pavilion does not accept credit."

The shopkeeper refused directly.

Then he glanced at Xi Qingyan in the private room upstairs. After receiving the instructions from the Valley Master, he continued.

"Although our store does not accept credit, you can use corresponding things as collateral, such as shops under your name, farmland, and gold and silver jewelry, which can be converted into corresponding prices."

"You are blackmailing!"

Mrs. Shangshu was angry.

Her dignified official's wife was now discussing with the shopkeeper in a lowly manner, but she did not expect that the other party would be punished with a fine drink if she refused to drink the toast.

"This is a pharmacy, not a pawn shop! Do you dare to ask for it if I give it to you?"

A small miracle doctor acted so arrogantly, which made Madam Shangshu very unhappy.

"Have you forgotten that we, mother and daughter, are the relatives of the Minister of Rites? If you still want to do your business well in the capital of Shengjing, please show me some knowledge today!"

A dog jumps over the wall in a hurry.

Mrs. Shangshu was anxious and couldn't help but want to threaten others.

"Madam, please don't think my shop is small. The people behind us have a reputation that is no worse than that of the Minister of Etiquette!"

The shopkeeper is neither humble nor arrogant, and smiles calmly.

"So you don't have to worry about it here. Don't worry, as long as you can afford it, madam, our store will accept it!"

"you……!"

Mrs. Shangshu didn't expect that even though she moved her husband out, he still didn't accept it.

In the end, she could only stomp her feet and go back to Shangshu's Mansion to get the things angrily. After all, her daughter Xi Chuyu's face no longer allowed her to continue bargaining.

Less than half an hour.

Mrs. Shangshu was sitting on a sedan chair, holding a brocade box tightly in her arms, and approached the Divine Doctor Pavilion again.

"Shopkeeper, here are the land deeds for more than fifty shops in Kyoto. In addition, there are land deeds for 800 acres of fertile land. I will give them all to you! You can treat my daughter now!"

When Xi Qingyan heard what Mrs. Shangshu said, she knew that what the other party brought was the late wife's dowry.

The total of these land deeds and farms may account for half of the late wife's dowry. In this case, she will get back half of it today, and she will take the rest slowly!

Xi Qingyan achieved her goal, signaled to the director of the Divine Medical Pavilion, and left Mrs. Shangshu and her daughter to have their faces treated, while she left through the back door of the medicine building.

On the street, people come and go.

Xi Qingyan put on a veil to cover the ugly scars on her face. As she walked, she noticed someone behind her.

Suddenly, Xi Qingyan's vigilance rose and she ducked into a small alley.

After waiting for the person following her to approach, she took out the silver needle in her sleeve and was about to take action.

"Mother, do you not want me anymore?"

The visitor ran directly into her arms. When Xi Qingyan heard the mother-in-law's voice, the corner of her mouth curled up, and she picked up Xi Xiaochen in her arms.

"Xi Xiaochen, you are so capable! Why didn't you come out as soon as you saw your mother?"

"Mother, you have wronged me!"

Xi Xiaochen knew Xi Qingyan best, and he knew that his mother would not be really angry with him.

"Actually, when I said goodbye to my mother in the Valley of Miracle Doctors that day, I secretly put my newly developed spices in my mother's sachet.

Wherever I go, I can find you!"
