Divine Doctor's Daughter: The Imperial Concubine

Chapter 51
"Miss, Aunt Pei, please see me." On this day, Chu Ruoying was half lying on the bed reading a book, when Gu Yu's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Chu Ruoying groaned for a moment before she opened her mouth and said, "Come in."

Aunt Pei lowered her head, dragged a woman in pink into the room, and knelt down fiercely with a "plop!"

"Miss, please save the maidservant's daughter!" As soon as the words finished, Aunt Pei kowtowed heavily, and the woman in pink beside her was even more cautious, knelt down timidly, and kowtowed in panic. head.

Chu Ruoying frowned slightly when she heard the words, but she just slowly turned over a page of the book she was reading just now, turning a blind eye to the two people in front of her.

Not seeing Chu Ruoying's answer for a long time, Aunt Pei couldn't help raising her eyes slightly, and saw Chu Ruoying lying on the soft bed with a peaceful face, turning the pages of the book from time to time with her slender hands, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, but it made Pei feel so sad. Auntie felt a little uneasy from the bottom of her heart.

"Miss?" Aunt Pei couldn't help calling in a low voice.

Only then did Chu Ruoying slowly put down the book, took the cup of tea on the table beside her, took a sip, and then turned her eyes to the two kneeling on the ground, "It's getting late now, if you have something to do, I will Speak."

Aunt Pei's body was slightly stiff, but Chu Qing'er crawled straight in front of Chu Ruoying, crying in a low voice: "Miss, please help me, I don't want to marry the housekeeper!"

Chu Ruoying slightly lowered her head and looked at the crying woman kneeling in front of her, her eyes were filled with desolation, the smile at the corner of her mouth gradually faded away, and a faint voice with no emotions could be heard amidst Chu Qinger's crying, "Go up When my aunt came the next time, I already said that my father is the master of the General's Mansion, and my aunt can go to find her father if she needs anything!"

After saying that, he walked towards the boudoir, letting Gu Yu Lixia pull the two of them behind him.

"Auntie." Chu Qing'er looked at Chu Ruoying's leaving figure, and looked hopelessly at Auntie Pei.

"Don't talk!" Aunt Pei knelt straight on the spot, pulled Chu Qing'er who was about to get up, and said in a low voice: "Qing'er, it's up to us to kneel if the eldest miss helps."

The last time I asked for a meeting, the eldest lady clearly intended to help, but she saw through her own thoughts and never showed any mercy. This time, she had to show her sincerity in order for the eldest lady to help.

Only then did Aunt Liu truly understand why Madam Ye would suffer so many setbacks after Chu Ruoying returned home, and she finally understood why Chu Ruoying's statement had spread throughout Changxing in just one month!
"Miss, do you just let them kneel there?" Gu Yu looked at the two still kneeling there worriedly and asked.

Chu Ruoying smiled faintly, glanced at Gu Yu, and said slowly, "It's okay, Madam already knew about it anyway, didn't she?"

Gu Yu's expression changed upon hearing this, "How could it be?"

"Silly girl." Chu Ruoying shook her head slightly, then glanced at the sky, it was almost dusk, and said lightly: "Let them get up, and bring in a basin of water." Then she looked at Li Xia who was beside her, "Go Set up the dinner and invite father to come over."

When Aunt Pei and Chu Qing'er heard that Chu Ruoying asked them to stand up, they couldn't help being overjoyed. Although their legs were numb, they still smiled and followed Gu Yu into the room with support.

"Aunt Pei and Third Sister, please sit down." Seeing that the two were about to kneel down again, Chu Ruoying put down the pen in her hand and said calmly.

After a while, Aunt Pei and Chu Qing'er tidied themselves up, followed Chu Ruoying and walked out of the room slowly.

"Miss, the general is here!" Gu Yu said as the night gradually fell, standing outside the courtyard.

"Ying'er met father." Chu Ruoying stood up and saluted respectfully.

"Get up." Chu Lie raised his hand lightly, looked at Aunt Pei and Chu Qing'er who were behind Chu Ruoying, and couldn't help feeling puzzled.

"Is Yinger busy?" Chu Lie sat down at the table and asked calmly without picking up his chopsticks.

Chu Ruoying smiled faintly, walked obediently to Chu Lie, and said with a little regret: "I didn't know that there is a third sister in the mansion after returning home for many days. I invited you to see her today, but I never thought that the third sister would marry me." people."

Chu Lie was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Chu Ruoying who was full of regret, "Ying'er, when is your third sister getting married?"

Chu Ruoying smiled lightly, and glanced at the two people behind him calmly, "Doesn't father know? Ying'er just heard about it."

"Plop!" Aunt Pei brought Chu Qing'er to her knees heavily in front of Chu Lie, with tears in her eyes.

"Master, please be kind! Madam wants to betroth the daughter of a concubine to the housekeeper. Although Qing'er is a concubine, she is also the daughter of a general! Moreover, the housekeeper is over [-] years old, and Qing'er is only two or three out of ten. Let others ruin it like this!" Aunt Pei was dressed in plain clothes, crying with tears in her eyes, she was so pitiful.

Chu Lie was furious when he heard the words, and seeing Chu Qing'er's pitiful appearance, he stood up and slapped the table heavily, shouting angrily: "Bring the housekeeper! Let the madam come here!"

After a while, seeing Madam Ye rushing over with Chu Xin'er, looking at Qing Dai beside them, the corners of Chu Ruoying's mouth twitched slightly, a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes very quickly, but she still stood quietly by the side.

Seeing the person coming, Chu Lie said in a deep voice, "You betrothed Qing'er to the housekeeper?"

Mrs. Wen Yanye smiled faintly, and said, "Yes, master! I think Qing'er has come out well, and the housekeeper has worked hard for the general's mansion for many years, so he decided to book this marriage without authorization!"

As soon as the words finished, Madam Ye glanced lightly at Chu Ruoying who was standing beside her, and coldly glanced at Chu Qing'er and Aunt Pei, the corners of her mouth smiling even wider.

Chu Qing'er's complexion turned pale when she heard the words, and she took a few steps back trembling, biting her lower lip tightly with her white teeth.

Chu Ruoying looked at everything in front of her calmly, and said in a timely manner: "Ma'am, it's too late. The third sister is finally the lady of my general's mansion. The blood of the dignified general's mansion actually married a slave and passed it on. It’s not about making people in the world laugh at me!”

Madam Ye's complexion suddenly turned cold, she glanced at Chu Ruoying fiercely, and retorted: "It's just a concubine, and Aunt Pei's status is not high, how can anyone come to propose marriage in the future!"

Chu Ruoying smiled lightly when she heard the words: "Who can say what will happen in the future, Master Liaochen of Hanshan Temple can't speak nonsense, Madam knows it very well!"

Without waiting for Mrs. Ye to speak up, Chu Ruoying continued to speak: "Father is the current General Zuo, who ranks higher than Shangqing, even if she is a concubine, she can be a regular wife if she marries someone with a lower rank, Madam, doesn't she know? "

As soon as Chu Ruoying finished speaking, she saw the butler walking in sweaty and panicked. Seeing that everyone was there, and Madam Ye stood there with an ugly expression, she suddenly understood, but when she looked up, she saw Chu Lie Standing there with an angry face, a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on the back.

The butler hastily knelt down and saluted, before the butler could say anything, Chu Lie stepped forward and kicked the butler on the shoulder, "What a dare! The lady in my general's mansion dares to think about it!" !"

The housekeeper immediately fell to the ground, not daring to cover his shoulders, knelt on the ground and said, "Please, General, it was Madam who betrothed Third Young Lady to the servant!"

Hearing this, Chu Lie looked at Madam Ye with dark eyes, and said in a deep voice, "What do you think Madam Ye?"

Madam Ye's face froze, but she also knew that she couldn't say anything, so she said with a smile, "Of course it's up to the master!"

Chu Lie gave the housekeeper a ruthless look, "Steward, take good care of your identity! Don't even think about such a thing!"

The housekeeper lowered his head, hatred flashed across his eyes, and he replied in a low voice, "Yes!"

Chu Qing'er and Aunt Pei stood behind Chu Ruoying, watching her resolve the marriage in a few words, and couldn't help but look at her gratefully.

On this day, the Gu Mansion sent a Madam Wei to the Chu Mansion, and Madam Wei followed the people to the Sheng Junior Courtyard, and respectfully handed over the box Madam Gu ordered to Chu Ruoying.

Chu Ruoying reached out to take it, opened the box and looked at it, and saw that it was the book that she mentioned to Mrs. Gu when she was in Hanshan Temple. She couldn't help feeling warm in her heart, stood up and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, ma'am."

Li Xia also immediately moved forward and stuffed the prepared gold and silver purse into the hands of Nanny Wei. Nanny Wei pushed her hand and declined, "Thank you for your kindness, but before the old slave came, Mrs. Gu told the old slave not to accept gifts, Miss, please forgive me!"

"I'm getting better too. I'm going to visit my uncle and aunt tomorrow, and I'll ask my grandma to convey it for me." Chu Ruoying didn't force her anymore, she waved her hand to ask Lixia to take back her purse, and said with a smile.

"Old slave obeys." Wei Mama bowed her body and said respectfully.

Early the next morning, the carriage was ready at the gate of Chu Mansion, "Ying'er is going out?" Mrs. Ye stood in the garden and looked at Chu Ruoying, asking with a frown.

"It's been so long since I've been back and I haven't visited my uncle's family. Ying'er still feels guilty." After Chu Ruoying said her whereabouts in a soft voice, Madam Ye's face suddenly became a little ugly.

The Gu family, the number one scholarly family in the Xiao Kingdom, has countless officials and scholars. Although the Gu family has only a small official position in the court, no one dares to ignore the Gu family. In addition, Gu Lingjuan and her were once Mrs. Ye Obviously he didn't want to mention the Gu family either, so he turned around and said coldly, "Then Yinger, you should go and come back early."

When Mrs. Ye's figure faded out of sight, Chu Ruoying walked slowly to the door and got into the carriage. Li Xia and the others followed closely, and put the prepared things into the carriage.

The two mansions were not far apart, but within a cup of tea, they arrived in front of Gu's mansion.

The servant in front of the door had been waiting there early, and when he saw the carriage marked by the Chu Mansion stopped, he immediately ran back to the mansion to report. When Chu Ruoying stepped off the carriage slowly, a man in a white robe was standing at the door. Been waiting for a long time.

Seeing this, Chu Ruoying stepped forward quickly, bent slightly, bowed to the man, and said softly, "Ying'er has seen my cousin!"

Gu Mingyi immediately took a few steps forward, gently helped her up, and with a slight smile on his elegant and handsome face, he said softly: "My family doesn't need to be too polite, let's go into the house."
