Chapter 344
~ I’M MOVING OUT ~
Su Wenyuan felt his face burning. Previously, he had just said that the Su family treated Mu Yunyao like family. But in the blink of an eye, the matter of Mu Yunyao being beaten up the next day when she came to the Su family had exploded out. This reversal seemed to have smacked him in the face.
A while ago, Mu Yunyao had slapped the Young Miss of the Meng family, and the people were still talking about it. Naturally, Shen Binghui had heard of it before, but he wasn’t clear about the details.
Before Su Yuyi had been knocked out, the Eldest Madam had sent people to get a doctor. At this moment, the Su family’s usual doctor, Huang Qin, was rushing over with a medicine box. When he saw the scene in the yard, he was shocked.
When Jin Lan saw Doctor Huang, she hastily pulled him over without care about etiquette. “Are you a doctor? Come and help us to take our Miss’s pulse. See if her body has been damaged?”
Huang Qin did not understand what she meant. After he was dragged over, his expression became somewhat flustered: “Miss, what with the proper behavior of pulling and tugging? Please let me go.”
The Eldest Madam was worried about Su Yuyi, but with Shen Binghuai present, she couldn’t force herself to bring Huang Qin away to prevent him from checking Mu Yunyao’s pulse. Otherwise, she would have to redeem her reputation for treating Mu Yunyao harshly.
Su Wenyuan did not stop them. Back then, they had only hit Mu Yunyao twice, so no matter how delicate she was, they shouldn’t be able to hurt her. He told Doctor Huang to check Mu Yunyao’s pulse properly to clear the suspicion, so the Su family’s reputation would not be too bad.
Mu Yunyao’s face was pale, but her expression was still relatively calm. “Doctor Huang, the maidservant is harmless. Please forgive her. She’s just too worried about me.”
Dr. Huang was calmer, “Is there something wrong with Miss?”
Jin Lan said anxiously from the side: “Miss was beat by stick a few days ago. Would you mind if Doctor Huang could see if there were any hidden dangers in Miss’s body?”
Doctor Huang nodded, gesturing for Mu Yunyao to stretch out her hand and take her pulse through the silk handkerchief.
The time he took to feel Mu Yunyao’s pulse was a bit long. Su Qing was very nervous, so she stepped forward and tightly held Mu Yunyao’s other hand.
“Mother, don’t be too nervous. There should be nothing wrong.” Mu Yunyao comforted Su Qing softly.
Doctor Huang retracted his finger, and his expression was very solemn: “This Young Miss had been beaten a few days ago?”
“Yes, I was beaten twice with staffs.”
“No wonder. If I didn’t make a wrong diagnosis, Young Miss should have been weak when she was young. Even though you looked healthy now, your body was weaker than an ordinary person. Although it was only twice, it had injured the insides of this Young Miss. It was not obvious now, but in the future …it may be a hindrance to have children...”
Mu Yunyao’s face was pale to the extreme as she said in disbelief, “Isn’t it just beaten twice with sticks, Doctor? Why it so serious?”
“It has nothing to do with being beaten a few times. The key point is the strength when being hit. If the strength is used skillfully, even a simple knock is enough to produce a bad effect.”
The Eldest Madam’s eyes were wide open as she glared fiercely at Doctor Huang, “Doctor Huang, is your diagnosis accurate?” This Huang Qin’s medical skills are very brilliant. For many years, whenever that master of the Su family felt uncomfortable, they had to invite him to come and see him.
“If the Eldest Madam does not believe me, you can ask another doctor to take a pulse for this Young Miss. After all these years, the Su family has always been kind to me. Thus, I’m speaking the truth about it. This Young Miss is still young, and I’m not sure if she can recover in the future after careful recuperation. Where did she get punished by the staff, and why was they acting so maliciously? Rest assured, the Su family is a generous family. The Eldest Madam treats others fairly and benevolently, so she will definitely help you make the decision.” Huang Qin’s appearance of repaying the favor almost made the Eldest Madam choke to death in one breath.
Mu Yunyao dried her tears, but her expression became even more sorrowful. “Dare I ask Doctor Huang, if I take care of myself in the future, what are the chances of me for recovering?”
“This… About ten to twenty percent.”
Mu Yunyao smiled miserably. “I really didn’t expect this. I thought I’d come to the Capital to find my own family, but who would’ve thought...”
The Eldest Madam gritted her teeth, feeling as if her chest was about to explode, “Yunyao, there must be some kind of misunderstanding!”
Mu Yunyao straightened her body, her expression slowly calming down, but the tears in her eyes could not stop, allowing others to clearly feel her sadness and despair, “Eldest Uncle, Eldest Aunt, Mother and I personally came to the Capital from Jingling City. After arriving in the Capital, I added quite a lot of trouble to the Su family’s residence. Seriously speaking, this place is only my maternal grandfather’s family. Even though my father is no longer here, Mother and I are still from the Mu family. It just so happens that in this period of time, Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo will also be arriving in the Capital. Things will get even busier, and it will be extremely inconvenient for us to go in and out of tthe Su family’s residence. So Mother and I want to move out.”
Su Wenyuan smiles reluctantly. Doctor Huang Qin’s diagnosis was like a huge rock, heavily pressing down on the Su family’s head. If he had said anything about the matter before, it would be rebuttable. But it would not be reasonable for Wang Mama and Liu Mama to secretly commit crimes on Yunyao when they beat her. After all, if there wasn’t a master’s instruction, do the two servants dare to do this?
“Yunyao, your father is no longer here. You are a widowed and a orphaned living outside. Didn’t that make your grandmother more worried?”
“We also live in the Capital. If Grandmother is truly worried, we should find a suitable courtyard nearby and come to visit her from time to time to greet her.”
“It’s not appropriate.” If Su Qing and Mu Yunyao were to move out at this time, the entire Capital would surely have blamed the Su family, and the Su family would suffer a blow to the spine. Su Wenyuan looked at Su Qing, who had no idea what to do, “Su Qing, Yunyao is still young and couldn’t help but act impulsively. You should understand the difficulties of living outside in the Capital, so you should be able to advise her properly and persuade Yunyao not let her mess around anymore.”
Su Qing stood firmly by Mu Yunyao’s side. Ignoring his voice, she said with all her might, “Elder Brother, We will move out!”
Mu Yunyao quickly stopped Su Qing from continuing to speak, “ Eldest Uncle, there was a fire in Baohua Temple this time. My mother was trapped in a room and almost lost her life. Although she escaped, her throat was burned by the smoke, so she can’t speak at this time. Moreover, Eldest Aunt, can I have the two hundred thousand taels of silver banknotes sent by Yun Chun? The banknotes were sent from all over the place to set up Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo in the Capital, so they can’t be moved easily.”
The Eldest madam hated Mu Yunyao very much, but Shen Binghuai was present at this time. Thus, she couldn’t do anything else. She stiffly returned to her room, took out the wooden box, and handed it to Mu Yunyao, “Yunyao, you have truly misunderstood. Although two hundred thousand is a lot of silver, our Su family has always been able to do well. No matter how much silver you have, our Su family will not use it. Previously, Eldest Aunt did indeed want to help you keep it safe and handed over to you when you returned.”
The Eldest Madam spoke sincerely and earnestly, but Mu Yunyao didn’t waver in the slightest. She opened the wooden box to check the silver notes inside, and her expression abruptly changed as she asked, “Eldest Aunt, are these the silver notes that you want to pass to me?”
As Mu Yunyao said, she passed the box in her hand to Shen Binghuai: “Lord Shen, please take a look and check it out.”
