They could see clearly that day that everyone in Xingyue Pavilion was obeying the instructions of Divine Doctor Ling.
What's the matter with Mrs. Zhao today?
But today, Divine Doctor Ling did not show up.
The four brothers of the Chen family decided to wait and see and not report it yet, but the other brothers did not stay at Xingyue Pavilion on the first day, and they did not have an intuitive understanding of Divine Doctor Ling's right to speak in Xingyue Pavilion.
Messages like snowflakes were transmitted to each house in fragments. Mrs. Zhao successfully acted as a smoke bomb for a whole day. Her feet hurt from walking back and forth, but she did not complain a word.
That night, when Ling Yutong returned home, she saw Mrs. Zhao coming back with a grin on her face, but there was a smile at the corner of her eyes.
She thought to herself, this Mrs. Zhao is really a person.
She took the initiative to walk over and show Mrs. Zhao the box in her hand.
"Madam, this was given to Xingyue Pavilion by the Queen when I entered the palace today."
The green onion fingertips were slightly raised, revealing the beautiful jewelry inside, which was very dazzling.
Mrs. Zhao took a breath and widened her eyes.
All the fatigue in my body was forgotten at this time, and my eyes were locked on the jewelry.
At this time, Ling Yutong looked confused and said in a low voice: "But, this is too expensive. As an elder, can you give me some advice on whether this jewelry can be placed in the cabinet?"
When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she didn't even hesitate.
"Put it on!"
"Why don't you show off?"
She once had the experience of being cheated by an item given by the emperor. This time Mrs. Zhao saw the mark on the jewelry with keen eyes. If such a precious item is not put in the pavilion for show, why should it be left in the house to gather dust?
What a pity.
Ling Yutong looked at Mrs. Zhao's expression, and a trace of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.
There was still a trace of hesitation in her voice: "If you really want to show off, will you..."
Mrs. Zhao raised her eyes and said, "Of course we have to show it off! Your Majesty gave it to Xingyue Pavilion, and that's what's in the pavilion. If we don't show it, we won't give your Majesty face."
With that said, she started to pick up the box.
Ling Yutong's hand relaxed and Mrs. Zhao took it lightly.
"Leave this arrangement matter to me, Yutong, and I will do it properly!"
As soon as the jewelry box was closed, Mrs. Zhao hugged her tighter.
Without giving Ling Yutong more time to speak, Mrs. Zhao walked away with a smile, humming a tune leisurely, feeling very comfortable.
A low laugh came from behind.
Crisp and numb, slightly heavy.
Ling Yutong was startled, then turned around and saw Qi Yan. He had an upright figure and was walking out from behind a high rockery. He didn't know how long he had been listening.
He walked up to her and glanced at the direction Mrs. Zhao left.
"The level of wool shedding is pretty good."
"Work hard and do your best without complaining?"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh again. In the dark night, his eyes revealed beautiful light and shadow, as if they wanted to suck people in.
Ling Yutong also raised her lips.
She tilted her head, her movements were quite playful.
"Sheep that are easy to coax are easy to work with, don't you know?"
Her eyes passed over Qi Yan and moved away without leaving a trace. Just after she asked back, the smile on the other person's face became stronger, and the originally sharp face was tainted with tenderness, just like the iron ruler turned soft around the fingers.
.
It was really hard for her to resist.
She silently despised herself in her heart. Qi Yan was her fourth brother, so she had to restrain herself.
At this time, Qi Yan coughed lowly and said seriously: "I will go to court today. Your Majesty has arranged an errand for me. I will leave the capital tomorrow."
Ling Yutong paused.
"Very urgent?"
Qi Yan pursed his lips: "Yes, it's very urgent."
Qi Yan did not say anything about his speculation about this job.
He just said: "When I am not in the capital, people who are ready to take action against Xingyue Pavilion may take action. You..."
Ling Yutong curled her lips: "I understand."
Since he didn't say anything, she didn't ask any more questions. She just looked at him seriously and said, "Take care."
Qi Yan nodded slightly and responded seriously.
Her shadow was clearly printed in the dark eyes, sober and independent.
She seemed to have lost all the innocence that a girl should have, but when she smiled, she was still bright and bright, making people's hearts tremble.
Without her, perhaps, he would not have chosen to leave the capital so easily.
There are only a few stars in the sky, and they look very lonely, just like the road they are going to take. When they can't be together, they can only overcome the obstacles in front of them first, and then talk about other things.
The next day, Qi Yan left early and Xingyue Pavilion opened as usual.
It's just that there are a lot of guests today.
Early in the morning, Chen Qiushui came first and asked Ling Yutong if she was in the pavilion. When he learned that she would come over later, he sat aside and waited.
Ling Yutong wore a veil and entered the pavilion from the back door. Just as she was about to talk to Chen Qiushui, several well-dressed women were greeted in the pavilion.
There was a large group of women, and even the maids following them were all well-dressed.
A trace of surprise flashed across Mrs. Zhao's eyes, followed by jealousy.
The maids following those women were all brighter than her outfit!
Chen Qiushui didn't care about this farce. He came here because he had something serious to do with Ling Yutong.
But before he could say anything, someone came to disturb him. It was the woman who had just walked into the pavilion for the first time.
Mrs. Zhao didn't even put down the jewelry in her hand when she heard the woman say coquettishly: "I heard that there is a miracle doctor in your pavilion and she is a beautiful woman. Where is she? I want to meet her."
Mrs. Zhao didn't like the tone of her voice.
She said casually: "The people who come to see our Yutong are all suffering from incurable diseases. From the looks of it, this young lady doesn't seem to be ill."
"How come you, a woman, don't behave properly when you open your mouth?"
"In the past few days, the reputation of Divine Doctor Ling has spread so widely. I respect him deeply and come to visit him. How come I am sick?"
"Don't you recognize who I am?"
The woman raised her chin. She had a beautiful hibiscus hairpin on her head. Her attitude was arrogant, but her tone of voice was very delicate.
Mrs. Zhao was stunned when she was asked.
How does she know who this lady is?
There are noble ladies on the left and right.
The woman didn't hear the answer she wanted to hear for a long time, so she stamped her feet in displeasure, showing her full pampering.
Ling Yutong looked up and saw Chen Qiushui's expression and couldn't help but smile.
Is there a story behind this headache?
She was always teased by Chen Qiushui, so she had to win back this time.
At that moment, Ling Yutong raised his voice and called out: "Is that young lady outside the household minister Mr. Xiao's daughter?"
"Songyue, open the curtain and ask Miss Xiao to come in."
Chen Qiushui's eyes suddenly changed, and his dull and speechless expression suddenly became vivid. He was looking around, as if... looking for a place to hide.
Ling Yutong covered her lips and smiled, teasing in a low voice: "What is Yushi Chen doing?"
"It's as if Miss Xiao is a scourge."
Chen Qiushui glared at her: "You have such a good look. I don't care whether she is a savage beast or not. You have to find a place for me to hide quickly! Otherwise..."
"What else, brother Qiushui, if I hadn't come to look for Divine Doctor Ling and happened to meet you, how long would you have avoided me?"
A delicate female voice came, and Chen Qiushui stiffened.
