CHAPTER 519 2 : GARRULOUS (1/2)
“No no, treating you is what this humble subject should do; there’s no need for rewards.” Imperial Physician Zhao vigorously shook his hand and hastily refused. How can I accept money?!
“You have spared no effort in treating me, so you should just keep this little bit. There are no other intentions; it’s just that I have no idea what you are lacking, so I can only give you this. Hong Li, take Imperial Physician Zhao to the bookkeeping office.” Su Xi-er smiled as she waved her hand.
Hong Li nodded. “Alright!” She placed the bag of medicine on the table and gestured at Imperial Physician Zhao. “Please come with this servant.”
Imperial Physician Zhao bowed to Su Xi-er. “This humble subject thanks the Princess Consort.” He then took his medical box and followed Hong Li.
Left alone in the main hall, Su Xi-er’s gaze shifted to the pack of medicine on the table.
I can slowly nourish my body. Since the heavens have decided to let me live, they wouldn’t treat me badly anymore. I have suffered nothing but hardships in my previous life, so I can only hope that I can be blissful in this one.
Suddenly, Ruo Yuan frantically came in. “Princess Consort, not only is Niu Niu foolish, she has probably also gone mad. She almost burned the woodshed. If we hand over a granddaughter like this to the old uncle, he wouldn’t be able to take care of her, right?”
Su Xi-er pondered for a moment before standing up. “I’ll go and take a look; you put away this medicine properly.”
Ruo Yuan nodded and quickly packed all the bags of medicine before following Su Xi-er to the backyard.
The backyard was already in a state of chaos. Left with no choice, a guard went forward to restrain Niu Niu and press her to the ground. Niu Niu kept wriggling her body and struggled as she loudly hollered.
When the guard saw Su Xi-er, he immediately consulted her. “Princess Consort, should we knock her out?”
Su Xi-er walked over and stopped a few steps before Pei Yaran before softly saying, “She’s really gone mad. Wait for her grandfather to return to get her; give him some silvers and explain that we’ll have someone else send firewood to the residence from now on.”
Pei Yaran’s chest tightened. If they decide to have someone else bring firewood, how am I going to sneak into the residence?
She immediately pretended to be baffled. “Grandfather? What grandfather?”
