Chapter 48 If you are sick, go to the doctor
"Young Madam." Haitang walked in holding a business card.

Rong Peilan put down the writing brush in her hand, looked up, and saw that the post in Haitang's hand looked very familiar.

"Xie family?"

Haitang nodded, "Someone from the Xie family said that Master Xie is ill, and asked Madam to go back and take care of him."

Chen Chun came in with a cleaned incense burner. She couldn't help but say, "Why don't you call a doctor when you are sick? Why ask the young lady to go?"

Rong Peilan took the note and chuckled, "You came to my door so soon."

"Yesterday, the prince said that the corruption case involved a wide range of people. An official in Shu was a student recommended by my uncle. My uncle was also implicated in the court and was reprimanded by His Majesty to return home to reflect on his mistakes."

Haitang said, "This is obviously a Hongmen Banquet. If the young lady goes there and is asked to speak in front of the marquis, how can she refuse?"

Rong Peilan shook his head. "The Marquis is far away at the border. The Crown Prince is best friends with the newly promoted son of the Duke of Wei. Their family is also a newly promoted celebrity. It is most appropriate for them to speak up."

She put the note down, her lips curled up, "But the Xie Mansion has taken me in for six years. If I don't come back to visit my uncle when he's sick, I'm afraid the people of Yanjing will break my spine."

"Use mother's post to write a note to Doctor Tang. Since my uncle is ill, it is my duty as a niece to go and see him."

Haitang understood immediately, she smiled and said, "Yes, I will go now."

Rong Peilan knew that this should be her aunt's idea. Although her uncle was old-fashioned, he was not a man who would curry favor with the powerful.

Besides, His Majesty is just venting his anger on me. Once the incident has passed, my uncle will naturally be fine.

If an insignificant person were to beg for mercy everywhere, His Majesty would really get furious.

Xie family flower hall.

Song paced back and forth, and Xie Shuning was upset by her leaving, "Mom, can you please not leave?"

She frowned. Could it be that the long time had caused her memory to be problematic? She clearly remembered that the Ji and Jin families were reprimanded, and Marquis Xinling was urgently recalled to Yanjing.

For the sake of his only son, Marquis Ji gave up the power of the Northwest Army to rescue Ji Yunzhang. Later, Liu Qirui, the son of the Earl of Pingchang, took over the Northwest Army.

From then on, the Pyeongchang Earl family began to rise rapidly.

Song couldn't help but complain, "It's not your father who is corrupt, but His Majesty has suspended your father. Isn't this unfair?"

"The third son of the Pyeongchang Earl family bullies men and women every day, so he was demoted to a commoner. Your Majesty is too biased."

Xie Shuning, "Young Master Liu San is the most beloved nephew of the Imperial Concubine. He was in and out of Dali Prison three times and was always taken care of by the Imperial Concubine. He was also appointed as the Imperial Guard by His Majesty. Otherwise, how did he get the title of Liu Sanguan? This time, when the storm is over, everything will be fine."

Seeing that she was still concerned about other people's families, Song couldn't help but poke her forehead with her finger, "You still have the mind to care about other people's lives, your father is about to be fired!"

"If your father doesn't hold an official position, your elder brother won't be able to get an official position next year! Without the support of your father and brother, what kind of eldest daughter of the Xie family are you?"

As she said this, she thought about having to ask Rong Peilan for help now and she was furious. "Look at you, if you hadn't insisted on doing it, I wouldn't have to lose face and ask that little bitch for help now."

"You said Kang Jintang would have a bright future, but now that he has married into the Pyeongchang Earl family, his family is in immediate trouble."

"You really don't know how to enjoy your blessings. You just pick some rotten sesame seeds and smelly vegetable leaves!"

Xie Shuning was a little upset by what Song said. She had been miserable in her previous life and had not had much interaction with Rong Peilan. She only knew that after the death of Marquis Xin and his wife, the Marquis's Mansion fell into decline. At that time, Kang Jintang was already the Prince's Doctor of the Eastern Palace's young prince.

In this life, she only thought about Kang Jintang's smooth official career in the future, but she didn't expect it would be so difficult before she even started her official career.

She said dissatisfiedly, "What do you mean by bad luck immediately? It was Liu Qiwei who injured people and was punished by His Majesty."

"My husband has been to the Ministry of Revenue for several days, and I haven't heard that he has been implicated." Hearing this, Song immediately became angry, "Are you relieved that Kang Jintang is fine? If your father falls ill, without your father and brother's help, the first thing Kang Jintang will do when he is made a marquis and appointed as a prime minister will be to send you home!"

Seeing her mother was angry, Xie Shuning did not dare to talk back. She could only pout and mutter, "No way, Rong Peilan is still an orphan, but she was still granted the first-rank imperial title."

Song didn't hear clearly, "What fate?"

Xie Shuning picked up the teacup and sat up straight, "Nothing."

If her mother hadn't called her back in a hurry, she would have taught that bitch Lin Songxue a lesson today.

She was well fed and well cared for, yet she still wanted to commit suicide. If she wanted to die, she should just die happily. Why did she have to wait until Kang Jintang came home before putting her neck in the hoop?

Thinking of this, Xie Shuning became angry again.

In the previous life, although the mother-in-law was like an invisible person, Zhong never interfered with what she did in the garden.

The old lady of the Kang family, who could not read or write, acted like a mother-in-law as soon as she arrived in Beijing. She even wanted her to come to her every morning and evening and stand to serve her the food!

She had never done anything in her two lifetimes, but now an old village woman wanted to take advantage of her. Her two lifetimes seemed to have been wasted.

I clearly heard my mother say in my previous life that Rong Peilan was a blessed person with an ambitious husband, a kind mother-in-law, and a clean backyard.

Why is everything different in this life?

When the maid reported that her cousin had arrived, Song's sad expression immediately changed into a smile, and the speed at which her expression changed was astonishing.

As soon as Rong Peilan stepped over the threshold, Song came over and grabbed her hand warmly, "Sister Lan is back, hurry up and serve tea to the cousin."

She asked with great concern, "Sister Lan, are you feeling better? You are still young and it is not your chance to have children yet, but you will have them in the future."

Rong Peilan: "..."

Aunt, she is more used to you still having that arrogant look on your face.

"Hello, aunt." Rong Peilan avoided her hand without leaving a trace, then looked around the hall and saw only Xie Shuning there.

"Sister, are you here to take care of your uncle as well?"

Song then saw the imperial physician behind Rong Peilan and was unable to react for a moment, "This is..."

"Oh." Rong Peilan turned around and pointed at Doctor Tang who was following a little medicine boy. "This is Doctor Tang. His medical skills are the best in the Imperial Hospital."

"Lan'er thought that since my aunt had sent someone to call me, my uncle must be seriously ill, so I asked my mother-in-law to send a letter to ask the imperial physician Tang to come and take a good look at my uncle."

Song's face turned dark. There was nothing wrong with Xie Qingde. It was just a reason she made up to make it impossible for Rong Peilan to refuse to return to Xie's house.

Doctor Tang stepped forward and asked, "Where is Master Xie now?"

Song looked embarrassed.

Just as she was about to find an excuse to send Doctor Tang away, a voice came from outside the hall.

"Lan'er? Doctor Tang?"

Xie Qingde was holding a pen in one hand and a pot of chrysanthemums in the other. When he saw Rong Peilan and Doctor Tang, he was also confused.
