Chapter 51 Showing Weakness? She's Masterful at It

Aunt Xu's health was indeed poor, so it's no wonder that the female supporting character would set her sights on her.

Unfortunately, no one would have guessed that Qin Su had a cheat code!
Even the most serious illness, unless it's cancer and you're about to die, can be resolved in minutes with a single scan and prescription from the system.

In addition, under Qin Su's "treatment," Aunt Xu is now truly obedient.

She wouldn't mind giving her proper medication.

After a slight disguise, the system's medicine was fed to Aunt Xu, and the woman, who was originally in very poor health, visibly improved.

Even after Qin Su boiled water for her, she was able to take a bath by herself without anyone's help.

Hmm, with effects comparable to stimulants, how can it not be considered a good medicine?
In addition, there were only the mother and daughter in the side courtyard, without any servants. Although life was a bit hard, the advantage was that there were no outsiders to monitor them and pass on the details.

and so……

"Mother is just a little weak. She'll be fine after a period of rest."

Qin Su used the medical system to examine Aunt Xu again, confirming that they were all minor, long-standing problems and that she was no longer a threat, so she put her mind at ease.

Aunt Xu knew her own body best; during the time she was locked in the dark room, she truly believed she was going to die.

Feeling her body grow weaker day by day was so painful that she never wanted to try it again.

As a result, only two days after returning home, specifically after taking the medicine given by her daughter, she felt much better. The discomfort and pain she had been experiencing were immediately relieved. It could be said that the medicine cured her completely!

Right now, she is in her most vulnerable stage, both physically and mentally. She is extremely paranoid and sees danger everywhere. She almost regards Qin Su as her savior and believes everything she says.

So even though Qin Su didn't try to find a doctor to prescribe medicine for her as usual, but just gave her a few doses of medicine and said she was cured, she didn't doubt it at all.

Even the system couldn't help but shake its head: "Aunt Xu seems to have been completely ruined by the host."

Dr. Qin ignored these slanders.

However, while the mother and son lived a peaceful and idyllic life in the secluded courtyard, elsewhere, someone was getting anxious because she hadn't taken any action for a long time.

The system relayed the conversation between the female supporting character and her servant to Qin Su, and the young girl calmly finished writing the last line.

After putting down his pen, he gently blew on the paper, his expression excessively calm.

"They can't wait any longer; it's even worse than I expected."
-
"Miss, they're here! They've finally arrived!"

As soon as Chunxing heard that Qin Su had come to the main hospital for treatment, she immediately ran to see Qin Qionghua:
"They say that Concubine Xu is seriously ill and has fallen into a coma. She is about to die, and she wants to ask Madam to send a doctor to take a look."

The result was, unsurprisingly, that Zhang refused outright, explaining that she had urgent family matters to attend to and could not send anyone to find a doctor.

Since she had already gotten what she wanted, she stopped putting on a show and didn't even bother to see Qin Su.

"Right now, the Third Miss is extremely anxious and is kneeling outside begging the Madam!"

Hongxing's eyes were full of laughter as she said this, with a hint of exasperation:

Hmph, I thought you were so high and mighty, but you still have to kneel down and beg the young lady!
-
The system felt sorry for him: [Host, you really don't need to do this. Why don't you get up? We'll think of another way...]

Waaaaah, its awesome host is kneeling here for the mission, it's so painful to see, waaaaah.

She should always stand there aloof, making the villains kneel and beg for mercy with just a few words.

These trash don't deserve to kneel before her!
Compared to the system's anger and heartache, the girl kneeling there was unusually quiet.

She is like a delicate yet resilient willow branch; though kneeling, one can see her unyielding spirit.

Her delicate face was flushed from kneeling for so long, and her forehead was covered in sweat. She looked like she was about to collapse, but even so, she persisted, just to beg for her mother's life:

"I beg my mother to find a doctor for my aunt. I'll do anything for her."

The girl slowly bent down and touched her forehead to the hot ground.

The servants in the main courtyard, who were originally just watching the show, all stopped in their tracks because of her actions. Even those who looked down on this lowly third young lady were moved by her behavior at this moment.

Some people even showed expressions of pity.

When Qin Qionghua arrived excitedly with her maid, what she saw was this scene of a weak and pitiful girl kneeling on the ground.

A hint of a smile flashed in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it, feigning surprise as she walked over and helped her up: "Little sister, what are you doing? Get up quickly!"

Then he scolded the other servants watching the play: "Are you all blind? The Third Miss is here, why don't you invite her in to sit down!"

The maids were scolded and rushed forward to help Qin Su.

Pretending not to see the barely suppressed excitement in the woman's eyes, Qin Su followed her expectant gaze and tearfully pleaded, "Sister, please, please beg Mother for me! My aunt is really dying! Please let a doctor come and see her."

As she spoke, tears streamed down the girl's pretty face. Even in her disheveled state, her crying only made her seem pitiful, like a pear blossom in the rain.

Qin Qionghua's initial smugness was overshadowed by a subtle annoyance, and her smile became somewhat forced: "I am also very saddened by Aunt Xu's matter, but the household is indeed very busy right now, and I'm afraid we can't spare anyone to find a doctor..."

"Can I go by myself? I'll go fetch the doctor myself!"

Qin Su mimicked the original owner's behavior, nervously grabbing Qin Qionghua's wrist as if she would faint the next moment if Qin Qionghua disagreed.

Although she longed to see her in pain and despair, Qin Qionghua was clearer about what was most important right now.

"of course can."

She took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from the girl's face, appearing as a gentle and considerate older sister: "After all, Aunt Xu is my third sister's mother, so I naturally can't just stand by and watch her die. Hongxing, go to my room and get ten taels of silver."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Qin Su and said, "Third sister, go ahead and fetch a doctor. If you don't have enough money, just come to me. I won't abandon you."

"That's right, my eldest young lady is the kindest and can't stand seeing people suffer. Third young lady, you should know how to be grateful."

Hongxing brought over the silver and gave Qin Su a lecture.

As she spoke, the maids and servants around her also praised the young lady for being beautiful and kind-hearted.

Qin Su accepted the silver and the exit token, seemingly too moved to speak.

He simply turned around, his emotions vanishing like water, leaving only indifference:
If she were truly "good," she wouldn't have come up with such a vicious way to torment her own sister.

They harmed others but still want a good reputation.

How disgusting.

Qin Qionghua stood there, watching the girl's thin, staggering figure leave, her eyes gradually turning from warm to cold:

My dear sister, please don't blame your elder sister. Only one daughter of the Prime Minister's household can be remembered.
-
Xinghua Ward, where the Qin family lived, was a place where high-ranking officials and nobles resided, and even beggars were hard to find.

It wasn't until they left Xinghua Ward and arrived at Ruizhi Ward, a place the original owner frequented, that they saw the ragged beggar.

When Qin Su got off the bus, there was a beggar with a broken leg begging nearby.

She directly raised her hand and threw the silver that Qin Qionghua had given her as a gift into the beggar's bowl, which elicited a series of kowtows of gratitude.

She wanted to buy the original owner's hands for ten taels of silver? That woman is really vicious and stingy.

Qin Su walked in one direction, surrounded by bustling street vendors hawking their wares. The sunlight shone on her, giving her a rare feeling of freedom and comfort.

However, this feeling didn't last long: [Host.]

Qin Su gazed at the distant herbal tea stall, lost in thought about how much money she'd be asking for. Hearing the system's voice, she absentmindedly hummed in response. The next moment, she heard its serious voice: [Someone is following you.]

Qin Su paused, her relaxed expression vanishing.

She turned around, but even she couldn't see anything special in the bustling crowd.

But she trusted the system's judgment, and a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips: "So impatient, huh?"

Behind him, Zhao San, who had just forcefully pinned his subordinate to the stall, also lowered his head, pretending to be busy.

He only let go of the girl's hand after she had walked forward again.

He actually felt sorry for the third young lady, but what could he do when she offended the eldest young lady?
As instructed by the young lady, she was supposed to go out and fetch a doctor the day after Aunt Xu returned.

He then sent men to guard her, waiting for her to leave before crippling her hand.

To everyone's surprise, she didn't make a move for three days straight.

I finally went out today.

Although it was a pity, his master's orders were the most important. He lowered his voice and instructed the underlings beside him: "Be careful when you do it. Don't kill her. Just cripple her hand."

My right hand seemed to have a mind of its own, and it started to throb for no reason, with the lingering pain of a broken hand bone and severed tendons.

Qin Su stopped and looked down at her hands.

Slender and beautiful, with wrists so delicate they seemed fragile, she perfectly embodied the beauty described in the book.

As she was lost in thought, a stern rebuke came from afar: "When an important person travels, pedestrians must give way!"

She looked up at the sound and saw a vermilion carriage with a magnificent canopy rolling in from not far away, with tall, stern-looking guards carrying swords clearing the way, creating an imposing scene.

Nearby, a little girl was chasing a rolling ball, running towards the carriage.

Because she was too small, she was pushed out without anyone noticing.

The system emitted a sharp, piercing alarm: [Host, be careful!]

Before anyone could react, Qin Su lunged forward, grabbed her terrified and stunned little daughter, and pulled her from under the horse's hooves.

What no one saw was a flash of white light just as the horse's raised hooves were about to touch her. It was like an invisible protective layer.

The horse neighed, the carriage suddenly staggered, and the onlookers gasped in surprise.

Before Qin Su could even comfort the crying little girl, guards quickly stepped forward and surrounded her.

The sharp blade gleamed with a cold light in the sunlight, as if it would sever her head at any moment.

Qin Su was frightened, her face turning pale, but she still managed to hug the crying child tightly, comforting her: "It's okay, it's okay, don't cry..."

Her beautiful eyes were filled with panic as she looked at the swords and knives in front of her. She was so frightened that she trembled all over. She didn't even realize that when she raised her hand, blood was dripping down her arm and staining her plain sleeve red.

Someone nearby saw it and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Ye Fan, the head guard who was about to step forward to check, suddenly stopped in his tracks when he saw the girl's face clearly.

Ye Fan was taken aback and immediately changed course, retreating back to the carriage.

[Host, those guys who were following us realized things weren't going well and went into hiding.]

Qin Su didn't speak, but gently patted the crying little girl, trying her best to soothe her gently: "It's okay, don't cry."

Those around her wondered what would become of this kind-hearted girl. Although she was saving someone, she had also boldly blocked the path of a noble person.

Amidst the murmurs, another unfamiliar guard arrived to drive them away.

The nobleman did not seem to blame the girl for obstructing the passage; he simply shooed her aside, and the carriage continued on its way.

"Girl, you're really brave."

"That's right, I almost lost my life!"

"Luckily, the benefactor didn't punish you..."

The people spoke to her with a mixture of sympathy and admiration.

The little girl's family finally arrived late, took the rescued child, and thanked Qin Su profusely.

The magnificent carriage continued on its way, and this time no one dared to obstruct it. However, from beginning to end, no one lifted the low-hanging curtains.

Qin Su was about to leave, clutching her arm, when a surprised male voice called out, "Sang Sang!"

She paused, looked up in confusion, and saw a handsome young man in a blue outer robe standing not far away. He was gentle and clean-cut, like a green bamboo in the forest, making people forget the mundane world upon seeing him.

Before Qin Su could react, the system popped up: [The sound of farewell from the bamboo-covered, green-robed figure—the number one simp has appeared!]

Qin Su's initial curiosity about the man's handsome appearance was completely shattered by a single sentence from the system.

Unexpectedly, this heartfelt "Sang Sang" was heard not only by her, but also by the people on the carriage who had already gone far away.

As they turned the corner, the curtain was gently lifted by a slender, perfectly sculpted hand.

Then those inside saw a handsome, gentle young man in a blue robe and a delicate, slender girl in plain clothes looking down at each other on a bustling street.

A gentle breeze ruffled their clothes and hair, creating a scene so beautiful it was like a painting.

"interesting."

As a cool, languid male voice rang out, the carriage curtain was lowered.
-
Xie Cisheng felt that Sangsang's gaze towards him was full of unfamiliarity and scrutiny, as if she were repeatedly examining a prey with cold indifference.

But when he got closer, he realized it was just his imagination.

The girl's bright eyes widened in surprise: "Brother Xie, what are you doing here?"

He remained calm in front of her, but his chest rose and fell slightly with his breath.

The girl before him was still the same delicate and beautiful girl he remembered, like the purest and cleanest flower. He was instantly fond of her at first sight and wished he could take her under his wing, protect her carefully, and let her be carefree, free from any grievances or hardships.

Unfortunately, this was always just wishful thinking on his part.

King Xiang had a dream, but the goddess had no interest.

Suppressing the bitterness in her heart, Xie Cisheng revealed a gentle and reliable smile: "I came here to check the accounts, and when I saw your back..."

His words abruptly stopped, his eyes seemingly stung by the blood on the girl's sleeve: "What happened to your hand? You're injured!"

Because he cared so much, he even went so far as to grab her hand.

"hiss--"

The girl cried out in pain, her beautiful brows furrowing in agony.

He subconsciously softened his movements, but refused to let go, a stubborn rage flashing in his eyes, as if he would fight to the death if she revealed who hurt her: "Who hurt you?"
