doctor wife three marriages

Chapter 175 175. It's Time
Duanmuchen took a sip of the cold tea, and the teacups were placed on the table, making a dull crashing sound. His eyes dimmed, and he felt a bit chilly, "What does Grandpa know, tell me everything this time, I don't care about Xiao What my family concealed from me in the past."

Xiao Qi's face was ugly, "You misunderstood, not trying to hide it from you, it's because..."

Duanmuchen said coldly, "Grandpa, I only want to hear what is useful."

Two years ago, Duanmuchen respected Xiao Qi and hoped that the Xiao family would fully support him.

But this moment, that moment.

Xiao Mulian is dead, Duanmuchen is full-fledged, the Xiao family can only support him.

This was also the main reason why Xiao Qi didn't dare to hide anymore when Duanmu Chen pressed him for questioning.

You know, it's not the first time Duanmuchen asked Xiao Qi about this, but it was perfunctory before.

Xiao Qi sighed deeply, "This old man is only your grandson. If you were a few years older, you would have made a marriage agreement for you and Mu Lian early on. As long as the emperor does not object, it would be best to kiss more and more."

Duanmu Chen remained silent.He just listened to this.

After all, he is the grandson of Xiao Qi's direct relative, and his biggest backer is the Xiao family.

Previously, besides him, the Xiao family also had a relationship with the Prince's faction through marriage.

Duanmuchen is not stupid, he never thinks that because Xiao Mulian is older than him, it is inappropriate to marry him.Because Xiao Mulian can marry someone else, she doesn't have to enter the royal family.

To put it bluntly, Xiao Qi was shrewd and had to make two preparations.

"The crown prince first fell in love with Mu Lian. We thought that the crown prince would ask for the imperial decree to bestow marriage, and the Xiao family had no choice, so we accepted it." Xiao Qi's face was bitter, "Who knew, the imperial decree for marriage really came, But it's not the crown prince, but the second prince."

"Why?" Duanmu Chen asked.He was in the period of keeping a low profile at that time, and he didn't have much sense of presence in the royal family, and he also wanted to protect himself.Therefore, he knew what happened to many things, but he didn't know the reason, and he didn't dare to intervene casually, so as not to cause accidents and hurt himself.

Xiao Qi sighed again, "Mu Lian met the second prince by chance in Changchun Garden. The second prince coveted her beauty, so he entered the palace and begged the queen mother and queen, and he must marry her."

Duanmuchen felt that it was not that simple, and asked again, "The prince didn't do anything?"

Xiao Qi shook his head, "The imperial edict of bestowing marriage has been issued, what else can the prince do? The emperor and the people of the world must not let the two brothers rob women."

"I remember that after my cousin married Duanmu Ao, she lived pretty well." Duanmuchen said.

Xiao Qi smiled wryly, "Mulian also likes the prince in her heart, there are many women in the second prince's residence, she is not doing well, she just forced a smile in front of outsiders."

"What did my cousin and the prince do behind Duanmu Ao's back?" Duanmu Chen asked.

Xiao Qi's face was ugly, "It's the Xiao family who taught the daughter Wufang. Mu Lian was wronged by Duanmu Ao, and the crown prince went to tease her again, so... Sigh! Before she got married, Mu Lian often went to Changchun Garden to listen to operas. The crown prince and her We had a tryst several times in Changchun Garden."

"How did Grandpa know?" Duanmuchen found out the problem.It is impossible for Xiao Mulian to let anyone know about such a shameless thing, including her natal family.

Duanmu Sheng was indeed a frequent visitor to Changchun Garden before, but he hasn't been there in the past two years.

It sounds unbelievable that he and Xiao Mulian dared to have a tryst in Changchun Garden and do unethical things.But Duanmuchen knew that there were so many dirty things like this in the royal family and nobles, and they couldn't be seen.Some people use means to satisfy their own selfish desires, and they don't care about moral ethics at all.

"That day, Mu Lian suddenly went back to her mother's house with a bad face. She found her mother and told her that she might be pregnant. It should have been a good thing, but Mu Lian wanted to kill the child behind the second prince's back. I found out that I can only go back to my natal family." Xiao Qihan said with a straight face, "Under duress, she said, counting the time, the child is likely to belong to the prince. During those days, the second prince fell in love with Miss Mei's family, and she Deliberately hiding from the second prince, the two did not share the same room. If the second prince finds out, she will die."

"You just helped her beat the child?" Duanmuchen asked.

Xiao Qi shook his head, "The Second Prince came to pick her up before it was too late."

"What happened next?" Duanmu Chen asked.The fact that Xiao Mulian was pregnant is a secret until now, he didn't know it at all before.

Xiao Qi let out a long sigh, "I got news from Mu Lian again, it was someone from the second prince's residence who came to report the funeral, saying that she had a sudden illness and passed away. There was only three days in between. We don't know what happened in those three days. Because Mu Lian was sorry to the second prince first, the Xiao family was at a loss, and they didn't dare to make a big fuss, so they could only admit it."

"What's going on with Su Yuanzhou?" Duanmuchen asked the key point.

Xiao Qi frowned, shook his head and said, "I don't know why Su Yuanzhou was implicated, and his family was gone. I guessed that the matter between Mu Lian and the prince was discovered by the second prince, and she couldn't be tolerated, but she died suddenly. The second prince's mansion couldn't justify it, so they asked Su Yuanzhou to take the blame. Naturally, an imperial physician cannot be hired for this kind of matter. Su Yuanzhou is very good at medicine and has a good reputation, but he is only a commoner. No one will stand up for him when he dies. It is best to solve it. "

Duanmu Chen knew that was not the case.I learned from Uncle Huang that Su Yuanzhou was exterminated because he knew the secrets of the nobles.

If what Xiao Qi said is true, then Su Yuanzhou might have been unlucky enough to meet Duanmu Sheng and Xiao Mulian in a tryst, or even accidentally learned that Xiao Mulian was pregnant with Duanmu Sheng's child.

Regarding this, Duanmu Chen didn't intend to share it with Xiao Qi, "Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Xiao Qi sighed deeply, "That's all I know about Mu Lian. I don't know about the rest, and I dare not ask the prince and the second prince. I didn't tell you the truth at the beginning. It's not that I didn't trust you. Firstly, it was a scandal. I don’t want to mention it after it’s over. Second, it’s to protect you. At that time, your mother was squeezed out by the empress dowager and the empress in the palace, and the emperor didn’t value you. So what if you know those things? What if you do something impulsively? The prince and the second prince will not allow you to live."

"Grandpa is trying so hard, I understand." Duanmu Chen said so, but he knew very well in his heart that Xiao Qi was just coaxing him.

The Xiao family is just a pawn to Duanmuchen, and only worthy of being a pawn.The so-called sincerity does not exist with each other.

Xiao Qi said seriously, "You really want to win over that Su Liang? What are you going to do?"

"I have to think about this matter again." Duanmu Chen said, "Except for grandpa and uncles and aunts, who else knows about my cousin's pregnancy?"

Xiao Qi shook his head, "It's gone. The maidservant who served Mu Lian at the beginning disappeared after she died. It must have been dealt with by the second prince. At first, I was worried that the second prince would attack the Xiao family, but in the end He didn't do anything. But there is no need to do anything, how can the Xiao family spread such scandals?"

……

After Duanmu Chen left Prime Minister Xiao's mansion and returned to the fourth prince's mansion, he asked Chang'an to see where Su Liang was.

At this time, Su Liang and Ning Jing were looking through the medical books borrowed from Huguo Temple. First, they looked through them in general to see the general content, and then decided whether it was worth copying a copy.

There are five books in total, Su Liang read three books, and Ning Jing read two books.

Both of them felt that these books were rare treasures, and they had to copy them down and read them slowly.

"Let's pick a copy first." Su Liang said, "We'll decide later on depending on the time."

Ning Jing nodded, agreeing.

The two each chose the one that they found most useful at the moment, and put the other three away first.

In the next room, Nian Jincheng was eating the vegetarian food that Yan Yu brought back from Huguo Temple.

Nian Jincheng knew that it was impossible for Ning Jing and Su Liang to miss him, it must be Yan Yu's preparation, so he thanked her.

"You're welcome, we're friends, aren't we?" Yan Yu smiled.

Nian Jincheng nodded seriously, "Yes."

"After you learn the disguise technique, you can go outside. Su Liang said that he would teach me self-defense, and I will trouble you to teach me martial arts in the future. Although I may not be able to learn it well, I will try my best." Yan Yu said.

"I will try my best." Nian Jincheng twitched his lips.

Nian Jincheng was eating, and Yan Yu was thinking of something to say to break the silence, so he mentioned the new friends he met today, and praised the two sons of the Lin family for their outstanding talents.

"Miss Qin and Second Young Master Lin are really a match made in heaven." Yan Yu sighed sincerely.

Nian Jincheng agreed, "Indeed."

In fact, when Yan Yu saw Lin Xueqing and Qin Yujin, it was a lie to say that he didn't envy them.Whenever there is a choice, she doesn't want to become a lonely person, fighting with relatives, managers, and strangers with bad intentions, always beware of someone who tricks her into harming her.

Yan Yu felt that Qin Yujin and Lin Xueqing were enjoying life, while she herself just wanted to live her own life.

But envy is envy, and Yan Yu also knows that everyone has their own destiny.And the person she really admires is Su Liang, who is also her role model.

Hearing Su Liang call them, Yan Yu and Nian Jincheng passed by.

Ning Jing went to the study to copy books, Su Liang taught Yan Yu and Nian Jincheng how to change faces, and first demonstrated on Nian Jincheng's face.

Originally, Nian Jincheng had a handsome and tough face, but after Su Liang changed his face, he became ordinary.

Yan Yu took a look and made some comments, "I think it's a bit strange. His appearance and temperament don't quite match."

Su Liang nodded, "Indeed. You come."

Yan Yu was stunned, "I still can't."

"I said, you do it." Su Liang encouraged Yan Yu to start directly, "You're welcome, he has a thick skin, and he can't be broken."

Nian Jincheng: ... Are you sure Su Liang isn't swearing?

So, Su Liang told Yan Yu what to do, and Yan Yu imitated Su Liang's technique to make Nian Jincheng's face-changing, and made a few mistakes in the middle, making Nian Jincheng's face asymmetrical, which looked funny, she Both were laughing with Su Liang, while Nian Jincheng sat silently, thinking of himself as a sculpture...

In the end, after Yan Yu finished, she was very satisfied, and Su Liang also thought it was good.

Find a bronze mirror and show it to Nian Jincheng, "What do you think?"

Nian Jincheng looked at the strange face in the bronze mirror. He was a handsome man with a refreshing temperament. It was far from his original appearance, but he always felt a little familiar.

"Do you feel like you've seen this face before?" Su Liang asked with a smile.

Nian Jincheng nodded, "I seem to have seen it before, but I can't remember it."

Su Liang pulled Yan Yu over and stood side by side with the bronze mirror, "Look, does it look like it?"

Yan Yu and Nian Jincheng looked at each other and were stunned.

"It looks so much like me?" Yan Yu himself was surprised, "I didn't deliberately imitate my own face."

"People tend to like looks similar to themselves." Su Liang smiled lightly, "It's normal, this is the look you are most used to and comfortable with. I think it's very pretty, Xiaonian, you can use this face for the time being."

Yan Yu also laughed, "It's really unintentional, if you don't like it, you can disguise yourself."

Nian Jincheng looked at the appearance in the bronze mirror again, shook his head, "There's nothing I don't like, that's all."

"Then can I tell the outside world that this is my long-lost half-brother? Give him a new identity?" Yan Yu asked.

Su Liang thinks it's okay.

Unexpectedly, Nian Jincheng objected, "I don't want to be someone's brother anymore."

His two younger sisters left him with a great psychological shadow.

Yan Yu heard about this, and said she was just joking.

"Since that's the case, you should be sworn brothers and sisters like me and Ning Jing." Su Liang suggested.

Yan Yu blinked, "But he doesn't want to be an older brother, so, marrying siblings? I am willing to be an older sister."

Nian Jincheng looked a little embarrassed, "You are all younger than me."

"That's not important." Su Liang shook his head, "If you don't object, then it's settled."

Yan Yu laughed, "To be honest, I don't want to have an older brother either."

Her own brother, Yan Feng, has a bad character, and her half-brother, Yan Wu, an illegitimate half-brother, is even more cruel and merciless.Yan Wen was accused by Yan Yu's relatives of seizing the Yan family's property. After he helped Yan Yu get the Yan family's business back on track, he stopped interfering in the Yan family's affairs and lived the life he wanted.

"Xiao Nian, call me sister." Su Liang half joked.

Nian Jincheng shook his head, "I can't scream."

"It's okay. Think of an alias for yourself," Yan Yu said.

Nian Jincheng frowned, "I can't think of anything suitable at the moment."

"Then call it Yu Yan." Su Liang said.The homophony of Yan Yu's name is reversed, which saves trouble.

Su Liang taught the two people the disguise technique, and asked them to practice with each other's faces.

Yan Yu was very generous, but Nian Jincheng felt a little embarrassed. He didn't dare to do anything at first, and Yan Yu urged him, saying that it was okay, we were all friends, and for the sake of business, don't think too much.

Su Liang was about to prepare more disguise medicine when he heard Chang'an's voice from outside.

Nian Jincheng immediately got up and hid behind the screen.

When Su Liang went out, he saw Chang An standing in the courtyard, "It's great that Miss Su is at home. My master would like to invite Miss Su to visit the house."

Su Liang's heart moved, "Did the Fourth Prince go to Prime Minister Xiao's residence today?"

Chang An nodded, "I have been to Xiao's house."

"Okay. I'll go over tonight." Su Liang thought that there must be some clues about that matter.

……

In the dead of night, Su Liang entered the Fourth Prince's Mansion with ease.

She knew that An Ning was following secretly, but she didn't show up.

When he saw Duanmuchen, there was a pot and two cups in front of him.

"His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince came to me, it seems that things are progressing?" Su Liang cut to the chase.

Duanmuchen poured two glasses of wine and handed over one.

Su Liang caught it and put it down again, "I don't like drinking."

Duanmuchen smiled, "Afraid that I will poison you?"

Su Liang shook her head, "I just don't like it, it doesn't taste good."

"Forget it." Duanmu Chen recalled that she had known Su Liang for so long, and she really rarely drank alcohol. After drinking a cup, she spoke again and told Su Liang the information she got from Xiao Qi today.

The two have cooperated so far, and they can basically communicate without talking nonsense.

At the end, Su Liang's face darkened, "People from the royal family have done shameful things, and in order to cover them up, are innocent people buried with them?"

Duanmuchen sighed, "My grandfather should not dare to lie to me anymore. Although I still don't know how your grandfather was involved, I sympathize with him and your other family members who died in vain. What are you going to do?"

Su Liang's eyes were cold, "What does His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince want me to do?"

Duanmuchen closed his eyes and poured the wine, "You don't need to say what result I want, you understand naturally. But I don't care what you want to do, as long as you don't get me involved."

……

Su Liang left the fourth prince's mansion, returned home, entered through the back door, stopped in the garden, and called out for peace.

Ning Ping appeared behind her like a ghost.

Su Liang turned around and looked at him, "Do you see a black mist between my eyebrows?"

Ning Jing shook his head, "You want to kill someone?"

Su Liang said coldly, "It seems that God's will doesn't want you to stop it, that's great. I came to the capital to find out the truth and avenge the Su family. It's time."
