Quick Wear: Cannon fodder fly bravely, good fortune will always follow

Chapter 644: The Cannon Fodder Concubine Sister in the Story of the Concubine

"The Second Young Master's wife is amazing. She is just a female doctor, but she has a very good relationship with Princess Ping'an and the young marquis of Cheng'en Mansion. If it weren't for the funeral of the eldest young master, I'm afraid no one would know about it!"

"Who says it's not true? It's all thanks to the Second Young Master's wife's wonderful medical skills! I heard that several important figures who came here these days had their chronic illnesses cured by the Second Young Master's wife, and the rest of them also want to make friends with the Second Young Master's wife!"

"Humph! She talks so nicely, but she's still a jealous woman. She actually let the second young master marry only her! In this mansion, the Madam is the boss. No matter how powerful she is, she is still suppressed by the Madam!"

"That's not necessarily true. The masters in this mansion, the old ancestor is old, the eldest young lady is useless, and the other young masters and young ladies are only a few years old. One day, maybe the power of the head of the family will be changed."

"Your words are really laughable. The Second Young Master's wife has read a lot of medical books, and everyone knows that. But how can an orphan girl be the head of a family?"

"..."

"Madam, the eldest young master."

Lu Wu listened to the disparagement of her master and looked at her hesitantly.

Jiang Yueshu looked at her and shook her head.

"Go back first."

After returning to Qiongyue Pavilion, Jiang Yueshu called all the maids in the courtyard and began to give orders.

"Thank you for your hard work these past few days. From today on, you can take turns to rest in pairs, and talk about the good medical skills of our Second Young Master's wife..."

After the maids left, Jiang Yueshu asked Lu Wu and Bai Zhi to go out for a walk as well, while she went to the mourning hall.

They need to keep vigil for seven days before the funeral and burial.

As a widow, I naturally have to fulfill my responsibilities now.

After guarding for an entire afternoon, Jiang Yueshu went to Deshan Hall for dinner before returning to Qiongyue Pavilion.

That night, she put on makeup again and went to a teahouse or restaurant.

-

Not long after the death of the eldest son of Duke Pei's mansion, the reputation of the second young lady of Duke Pei's mansion as a miracle doctor gradually spread, and she was even very famous in the entire Shangjing City.

In teahouses and restaurants, storytellers have recently been talking about those bizarre and strange diseases, and they can't help but mention the healer Ning Xuanxuan.

For a moment, everyone envied the good luck of the Duke's Mansion, as they actually married a miracle doctor. She was a perfect match for the mighty and brave Second Master Pei.

Ning Xuanxuan was happy to hear this.

Every day, she would ask her maid to go out of the house to record the remarks of the storyteller and the audience, and then read them back to her after they responded.

Even when she occasionally heard the maids in the mansion talking, she would happily reward them.

Before she entered the mansion, her marriage was not smooth.

This was strongly opposed by the wife of Duke Pei.

Fortunately, Pei Yan loved her enough and was willing to act first and report later, and directly ask the emperor for permission to marry her, so she was able to enter the palace.

But after all, Lady Pei was not in a good mood towards her, and she had to endure it because of Pei Yan, but she felt very uncomfortable.

At this moment, she felt very comfortable listening to other people praising her. She felt that she had turned the tables and even thought about asking the maids to discuss the matter in front of Lady Pei.

Let that old woman know that she is also an extremely outstanding woman, and marrying into the Duke's Mansion is not a sign of her marrying above her station.

With the efforts made inside and outside the mansion, it was not difficult for these words to reach the ears of Lady Pei.

After hearing this, she just felt upset.

His disgust towards Ning Xuanxuan deepened.

After just dealing with a few ladies, she was supported by Nanny Liu and entered Yiheyuan, holding her chest and feeling suffocated.

"How unreasonable! How unreasonable!"

"This Ning Xuanxuan is so dishonest! I told you long ago that you must not show up in public after marrying into the Duke's Mansion. She actually dared to run out to get treatment and spread the news, making it public? Isn't this forcing me to agree?"

Madam Liu quickly stepped forward to calm her master, "Don't worry, Master. After all, the young lady is your daughter-in-law. If the master has any request, how dare she go out to treat the illness without caring?"

Mrs. Pei paused, "You mean... to call her to serve me?"

After a pause, she shook her head and said, "No, no. Ning Xuanxuan is always good at pretending. I just asked her to wait outside for a while before, and she pretended to faint, which made Yan'er feel distressed. I asked her to come over, but I'm afraid she will play tricks on me again!"

Nanny Liu also remembered what happened before, and she also felt that Ning Xuanxuan was a little shameless.

"Madam, come to think of it, isn't the Second Young Master's wife known as a miracle doctor? Is there no cure for her fainting condition?"

Mrs. Pei's eyes lit up. "You mean... I should call her here to take care of her health and let her treat her fainting?"

Nanny Liu nodded.

"Okay, then go and call the Second Young Master's wife over."

-

"Mother-in-law, you're looking for me?"

When Ning Xuanxuan heard that the wife of the Duke's Mansion was looking for her, she was very pleased and agreed immediately.

"Ah."

Madam Pei took a sip of her tea and looked up at her, "Xuanxuan, how are you feeling lately?"

Ning Xuanxuan rarely saw such a good face, and thought it was just because of her recent good reputation, so she immediately smiled.

"Mother-in-law, Xuanxuan is in good health."

"Oh?"

Madam Pei raised her eyebrows. "Since it's not bad, did you faint again?"

Ning Xuanxuan was stunned.

Fainting syndrome?

When did she become ill?

Seeing her acting so clueless, Mrs. Pei and her servant knew that she had pretended to be unconscious on purpose.

Madam Liu kindly reminded her master, "Second Young Master's Madam, a few days ago you came to pay your respects to Madam outside the room, but you fainted after standing for only a quarter of an hour. Madam is worried about your health, so isn't she paying special attention to you?"

Hearing this, Ning Xuanxuan's face changed slightly.

She pretended to be unconscious on purpose the previous time just to avoid being tortured by the other party.

"This... Mother-in-law, Xuanxuan is still recuperating."

"Oh?" Madam Pei put down the teacup and looked at her with concern. "It's been ten days, and you're still not well?"

Ning Xuanxuan nodded softly.

"Are you treating your fainting illness yourself?" Mrs. Pei asked again.

Ning Xuanxuan thought for a moment and nodded.

She didn't have any problems at all, so how could she dare to let others treat her and take her pulse?

"Is that so?" Madam Pei nodded, and pulled Ning Xuanxuan to sit down intimately, pretending to praise her, "I heard that you have become famous recently. Everyone in Shangjing City is talking about your superb medical skills."

Ning Xuanxuan smiled shyly, "No, it's just an empty title."

Mrs. Pei looked at the smug look in her eyes and couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Really? You can't seek fame for curing illnesses and saving lives. You can't gamble with people's lives. I think you are so respected by everyone because of your superb medical skills."

Ning Xuanxuan couldn't help but smile.

The next second, Mrs. Pei said, "Then this fainting disease must be easy to treat. Otherwise, wouldn't it be just a facade?"

Ning Xuanxuan's face turned pale and she was about to say something.

Madam Pei stopped smiling and said, "If that's the case, then you should listen to your mother and stop going out to treat illnesses and harm others!"

Hearing this, Ning Xuanxuan's face turned even paler, and she looked up at Madam Pei in disbelief.

After seeing the unquestionable look in the other person's eyes, she took a breath and said, "Don't worry, mother-in-law, the fainting syndrome is almost healed."

Mrs. Pei looked at her with satisfaction and patted her hands.

"That's good. From tomorrow on, I will visit you every morning and evening. Don't miss a single one!"

Ning Xuanxuan: “…”

She bowed humiliatingly and said, "Yes, mother-in-law."

-

After leaving Yiheyuan, Ning Xuanxuan's face suddenly turned gloomy.

How dare this woman humiliate her like this?

Why are you still finding all kinds of reasons to restrain yourself?

Everything she has now is thanks to her medical skills. How could she possibly give up curing illnesses and saving lives?

"Madam, what should we do now? Should we tell the Second Young Master?"

The maid Zizhu looked at her worriedly.

Ning Xuanxuan shook her head. "No need. Even if the Second Young Master stops her for a while, that woman will never give up!"

snort!

Since you are so eager to suppress your daughter-in-law, don't blame her for being rude?

-

The next day.

Ning Xuanxuan got up early and went to pay her respects to Madam Pei.

Mrs. Pei left the person outside for fifteen minutes before calling him in.

When she entered the room, Ning Xuanxuan's face was already pale and blue from the cold.

Mrs. Pei pretended not to see it and looked up slightly.

"Xuanxuan is here, please serve me dinner!"

She waved her hand, and the maid who was originally serving the dishes gave up her seat and Ning Xuanxuan took over.

She stood aside in humiliation, with her head lowered and her eyes submissive.

Like a good little wife.

After tormenting the person for a whole morning, Mrs. Pei was satisfied, and her dislike for Ning Xuanxuan faded a little.

Of course, the premise is that she can always remain so obedient.

The first day of difficulties was over like this.

Mrs. Pei was looking forward to the next day even more.

Unfortunately, she didn't wake up at all the next day.

-

The cold wind was blowing, and a master and a servant were standing in the courtyard of Yihe Garden.

The two of them waited from dawn till noon, but the door of the master of Yiheyuan was never opened.
