Chapter 173: The Cannon Fodder Sister Who Was Married Instead in Ancient Chinese Literature 53
Marquis Zhongyi still had no reaction after hearing this. He picked up the brush beside him and started writing, and then fell silent again.
Lu Zhao recalled today's events in his mind and found that there was nothing missing except the things related to Jiang Xinghui.
"What else?" Marquis Zhongyi asked suddenly.
"This..." Lu Zhao hesitated for a moment before telling him about Jiang Xinghui.
"Do you still remember your identity?" Marquis Zhongyi stopped what he was doing and looked at him expressionlessly.
Lu Zhao then realized that something was wrong and quickly knelt down.
"Father, I know. But Hui'er is my future wife after all..."
"Lu Zhao, I've told you long ago that those who want to achieve great things should not indulge in love between men and women. Your father saw what you did before and thought you knew your limits, but now, you are so reckless again. Zhao'er! You've gone too far!" The Loyal Marquis looked deep.
Lu Zhao then hurriedly admitted his mistake and dared not to argue anymore.
"I know I am wrong, please punish me, father!"
Marquis Zhongyi was in a better mood this time and personally helped Lu Zhao up.
"Go down and receive ten canes as a punishment, and then go to the ancestral hall to keep watch for one night! Zhao'er, don't act impulsively in the future. As for the girl in the Prime Minister's Mansion, when you have accomplished your great cause, you can do whatever you want, and your father will not stop you!"
He handed the paper he had just written to Lu Zhao.
Lu Zhao took it and looked at it. It was the word "忍" written in sharp and extremely neat strokes.
He silently put away the paper and went to receive his punishment.
After he left, Marquis Zhongyi picked up the scroll on the desk and hung it up. The scroll showed the graceful figure of a woman with an alluring appearance. Her every frown and smile was full of charm. Even though it was just a scroll, it inexplicably made people feel that she was standing in front of you, smiling and humming at you.
Marquis Zhongyi stroked the beautiful woman's face in the painting with affection on his face and smiled faintly.
"Ah Shu, wait a little longer, your wish will soon come true."
Marquis Zhongyi touched his cheek lightly to the scroll with a sickly look on his face and laughed strangely.
The servant guarding the door pretended not to hear anything.
......
Although Lu Zhao was punished for frequently using his power to help Jiang Xinghui, he still helped Jiang Xinghui solve a lot of troubles.
The previously depressed Linglongxuan also welcomed wave after wave of new guests, and seemed to have regained its vitality, making Yunxi and her daughter overjoyed.
On the other side, the Du Mansion also welcomed the doctor from the Marquis' Mansion. Because of the contributions made by the Loyal Marquis' Mansion on the battlefield, the mansion had imperial doctors from the palace specially rewarded by the emperor ready at all times.
However, despite the personal diagnosis by the imperial physician in the palace, the cause of the disease could not be found, let alone the appropriate medicine.
Seeing that even the imperial doctors in the palace were helpless, the Du family became even more panicked and went directly to Jiang Xinghui and Lu Zhao for help.
Seeing Jiang Xinghui in trouble, Lu Zhao simply waved his hand and asked his men to find a famous doctor.
Although he promised his father not to interfere in Jiang Xinghui's other affairs, this was after all something that had not been completed before. He thought it should be fine and his father would not blame him. After all, everything should have a beginning and an end.
All the famous medical clinics in the imperial city had been trampled by the people from the Marquis' Mansion, and Xinglinxuan under Jiang Yueshu was naturally among them. This shop was the first one she took over.
In her memory, when Jiang Yueshu was secretly observing outside the Marquis of Loyalty's Mansion in her previous life, she always saw doctors entering and leaving the mansion, and they were all related to this crazy lady of the mansion.
After meeting him many times, she knew that there was a highly skilled doctor in Xinglinxuan who had once examined the Marquis's pulse. This man was Zhang Qinglin, the father of Zhang Gui, the owner of Xinglinxuan.
Although he was a skilled doctor, he always had a worry: he had a granddaughter, Zhang Gui's daughter, who had suffered from a strange disease since childhood. She was obviously 28 years old, but was as stupid as a child.
When Jiang Yueshu knew about this, she still thought it was the scheme set up by Yun Xi to be a hero saving a beauty. The original owner was straightforward and impulsive at the time.
She was cleverly led to the road, where she met a little girl who was being bullied and mocked by several men. She got angry and started yelling and cursing at them.
She thought that as the daughter of the Prime Minister, others should respect her and obey her.
But the men were not moved at all and smiled grimly.
"Oh, the ugly bitch still wants to save people! Hahahahaha!"
"Look at this beauty, how can she live in this world with dignity?"
"Ugh... I really want to vomit. I was thinking about playing with that little girl. It's really disgusting!"
