Chapter 1468: 1468 Lost Su Qingyue’s face3

“Lady Su flatters me too much,” Minxiang said humbly.

“Indeed, a sensible maid,” Su Qin didn’t hesitate to pile all the various large and small bundles she held onto Minxiang.

Su Zhenzhu watched as Uncle and Aunt left just like that, and then saw Xiao Yuchuan heading toward the backyard, and she couldn’t help but stomp her foot in frustration.

As Su Dashui and his wife walked with Su Zhenzhu in the courtyard of the Xiao Mansion, though it wasn’t particularly extravagant, it was definitely a residence of a wealthy family.

The three of them were full of praise as they toured, amidst the pavilions, towers, and the greenery and fragrance of flowers in the courtyard.

“Wow! This house covers quite a broad area…” said Su Dashui, “Our daughter really has made something of herself.”

“Isn’t that so? This residence, along with forty three-story buildings with courtyards on the main street outside, are all registered under our daughter’s name,” Su Qin beamed with pride, “old man, even if we don’t cling to the Xiao Clan, just relying on our daughter, we could live this life without ever running out of food and drink.”

“That’s if our daughter is willing to acknowledge us,” Su Dashui said a little worriedly.

“Our daughter and son-in-law didn’t rush us away this time, which means they are slowly starting to accept us,” said Su Qin confidently, “Our own flesh and blood, though the bones may be broken, the sinews are still connected. Yue’er isn’t a heartless person; she even takes care of Xiao Qinghe, who’s disabled–how could she neglect her biological parents? She’s just temporarily angry.”

In one of the guest rooms of the Elegant Garden, Minxiang placed several bundles on the table and said respectfully, “Master Su, Lady Su, my Lady knew you were coming and has specifically ordered this room to be prepared in advance. Do you find it to your satisfaction?”

Scanning the room, which was both spacious and elegantly furnished, the Su couple quickly replied, “Satisfied, very satisfied.”

“Where will I stay?” asked Su Zhenzhu.

“Oh, my Lady didn’t know that young Lady Su would also be coming and didn’t prepare your room in advance. However, there happens to be a vacant room next door. How about you stay next to Master and Lady Su?”

“How is the environment?” Su Zhenzhu said pickily, “If it’s not as good as this one, I refuse to stay!”

Su Dashui quickly coughed, “Zhenzhu, what are you saying? This isn’t your own home!”

“But Uncle, this is Cousin’s house, isn’t it!” said Su Zhenzhu defiantly, “If the room I stay in is worse, I will be the laughingstock of others.”

Minxiang respectfully said, “Young Lady Su, the room next door is furnished similarly to this one.”

“Then that’s fine. Take me to see it.”

Minxiang led Su Zhenzhu to the next room, and when she returned, the imperial doctor was already attending to the Su couple.

Su Zhenzhu eyed the middle-aged man applying medicine to Uncle and asked, “Are you the imperial doctor who treats the Emperor in the Palace?”

“Exactly,” the middle-aged man said, “My surname is Li, just call me Doctor Li. There are many imperial doctors, I am but one of them.”

“Wow, the Xiao Clan’s power really is tremendous,” Su Zhenzhu remarked, “Even the imperial doctor who treats the Emperor can be brought along.”

Doctor Li said nothing, he couldn’t exactly say that the court’s power nowadays was virtually nominal, with the influence and power divided among the major aristocratic families and Pear Blossom Villa.

After quietly finishing the medication, Doctor Li packed up his medicine box and instructed, “Master Su, Lady Su, your injuries are just superficial wounds. Apply the medicine on time, and you should recover within three days.”

“It’ll heal in three days?” Su Qin said admiringly, “Your medical skill is really good. And… there’s no charge for your consultation, right?”

Doctor Li shook his head, “No need.”

“And the medicine is also free?” Su Qin had to make sure–if there was a charge for the medicine, they wouldn’t be able to afford it.
