Chapter 690 Learned From the Same School?
“Second Cousin, I didn’t know about this until now. It is said that Doctor Qiu once caused the death of a patient in the countryside… What should we do if others know about this? Now he has entered Duke Xing’s Mansion. What… what… what can we do?” Gu Xishu looked at Wen Shian with tears in her eyes and a face full of begging.
This beauty was like a flower, and her sweet words immediately made Wen Shian want to love her dearly. He didn’t have time to ask about the reason. He nodded repeatedly and said, “Okay, okay, don’t cry. Leave it to me.”
He also had a few bad friends. It would not be difficult for him to change a harmless doctor’s census register.
“Did you go to my third brother just now?” He suddenly remembered something and his face darkened as he asked.
He always felt that the relationship between Gu Xizhu and his third brother was unusual. Originally, he had been jealous of his third brother in all aspects. If he knew what kind of relationship there was between Gu Xizhu and his third brother, he would not spare them.
“How could it be? I am already engaged to you, so I naturally have to keep my distance from Third Cousin. How could I ask him for help first? If I want to, I have to ask Second Cousin for help first. Even if Second Cousin can’t help me, I have to wait for Second Cousin to ask Third Cousin for help!” Gu Xishu raised her eyes and looked at Wen Shian with tenderness.
This made Wen Shian very satisfied. He reached out and didn’t care that the servant girl was still looking at them. He took Gu Xishu in his arms and stroked her with his hands. When he saw Gu Xishu pushing his hand away coyly, he laughed loud happily.
Even though there was still the last hurdle in front of them, the two of them had already done many things out of line. Not to mention Gu Xishu, even Liu Ye, who stayed beside her, was not surprised by this. At this time, Liu Ye could only lower her head shyly and did not dare to look at the two people who were hugging each other and flirting happily. The situation was getting more and more unrestrained.
It had been two days since Shao Wanru had found Dr. Qiu. Shao Wanru let Qing’er go to Xiao Xuanzi to get some news about Doctor Qiu.
“Miss, what a coincidence. It’s said that Doctor Qiu also comes from Jiangzhou.” Qing’er came in and reported.
Shao Wanru thought of something in her heart and smiled. “Isn’t it a coincidence?”
“Jiangzhou? No way. I was in Jiangzhou for so many years, but I have never heard of a doctor called Doctor Qiu!” Yujie said anxiously.
If it was another place, she might really not know. But if it was Jiangzhou, Yujie thought she knew very well, especially the doctors in Jiangzhou. Mingqiu Nun was a doctor, and Yujie had always followed Mingqiu Nun, so how could Yujie not pay attention to the doctors in Jiangzhou? Wasn’t it said that Doctor Qiu was a famous doctor in Jiangnan? Was he not famous?
“Jiangzhou is not Jiangnan, the southern regions of the Yangtze River!” Qu Le asked.
Jiangzhou and Jiangnan seemed to have just a one-syllable difference, and they both could be regarded as the southern area. However, Jiangzhou was a place on the border, which was still far from Jiangnan, the middle part of the south of the Yangtze River.
“Although Jiangzhou is not Jiangnan, it is not wrong to speak of them in the same way. As long as it is in the south, for people in the capital city, it can be said as being south of the Yangtze River!” Shao Wanru smiled leisurely. She had just washed her hair. After her black hair was dried, she casually put it on her shoulders. Her little face was as small as a palm, and her watery eyes were charming.
However, there was deep darkness in her eyes. It seemed that she had nothing to do with Doctor Qiu’s first visit to the capital city, otherwise he would not be coincidently from Jiangzhou.
“But Dr. Qiu is definitely not from Jiangzhou!” Yujie thought for a while and said with certainty.
Jiangzhou was a small place, so the so-called famous doctors were even fewer there, and most of them were in touch with each other. Yujie thought it was impossible for Doctor Qiu to be the so-called famous doctor from Jiangzhou.
“Miss, Xiao Xuanzi said to me that if this Doctor Qiu is really not a famous doctor in Jiangzhou, then someone must have changed his census register and said that he has to check it out before he can get the result!” Qing’er said briefly.
“Well, you leave first and tell Xiao Xuanzi that it is impossible for this Doctor Qiu to be from Jiangzhou. Ask him to check again. By the way, ask him to ask Mingqiu Nun, and tell her that the needle bag of this Doctor Qiu has the same embroidery pattern as that on Mingqiu Nun’s needle bag, but it is a big red orchid and looks a little bloody!”
Shao Wanru thought about it and said.
Jiangzhou was impossible to be the census register place of Dr. Qiu. However, since Jiangnan was a large area, it was really difficult to find Dr. Qiu. Her intuition told her that there was some relations between Dr. Qiu and Mingqiu Nun. It was basically impossible to find two identical needle bags, not to mention that Dr. Qiu’s needle embroidery looked strange and gloomy.
Mingqiu Nun should have some clues about this.
From time to time, Mingqiu Nun would enter the mansion to treat Chu Liuchen, so it was much easier for Xiao Xuanzi to see Mingqiu Nun than her!
“Yes, I will inform Xiao Xuanzi right now!” Qing’er nodded and left.
“The needle bag?” Yujie frowned and looked at Shao Wanru hesitantly, as if she wanted to say something, but stopped on second thought.
“Yujie, do you know something?” Shao Wanru looked up and smiled. Compared with Yujie, who had been by Mingqiu Nun’s side for a long time, Shao Wanru indeed knew less.
“Miss, Mingqiu Nun’s needle bag… seems to be passed down from the grandmaster!” Yujie thought for a while and said.
“Then what about mine?” Shao Wanru blinked slightly and was not surprised by the answer.
“It seems also to be passed down!” Yujie did not stammer this time. At that time, she had seen Mingqiu Nun give the needle bag and the needles to Shao Wanru, and she had been the one who had sorted them out.
“That is to say… Doctor Qiu and Mingqiu Nun are very likely to come from the same school?” Shao Wanru raised her eyebrows and said with a smile.
“I think… that may be… but I have never heard Mingqiu Nun mention Doctor Qiu before. No, Mingqiu Nun basically doesn’t mention who her teacher is, but occasionally talk about Grandmaster…” Yujie was a little hesitant this time, because Mingqiu Nun didn’t mention this much, so she couldn’t remember it for a while.
She saw the needle bag too, but she didn’t think of it or link it to Mingqiu Nun for a moment.
“Miss, if Mingqiu Nun and this Doctor Qiu learned from the same teacher, I don’t think this Doctor Qiu is a good person. Otherwise, why didn’t Mingqiu Nun mention him? Besides, he changed his household registration as soon as he entered the capital city. Why did he have to change his household registration? He is obviously not from Jiangzhou!”
Qu Le said after thinking for a moment.
Shao Wanru nodded. She was also sure that this Doctor Qiu was definitely not from Jiangzhou. But since he was not from Jiangzhou, why did he say that he was?
Three years ago, when he entered the capital city, he should have changed his household registration at that time. Since he changed it at that time, it meant that he did not come to the capital just for Wang Yishu. Wang Yishu’s life was in the hands of Madam of Duke Xing. There were some reasons for keeping her for three years.
In addition, according to what Doctor Qiu said that day, it seemed that Wang Yishu really regretted it. The meaning in his words was that Wang Yishu was about to die, and her words should be true. Wang Yishu wanted Shao Wanru to release the concern in her heart and talk deeply with her, so that she could leave without worries.
From this, it seemed that this Doctor Qiu was really a kind and merciful man. However, because the orchids on his needle bag were similar to Mingqiu Nun’s, she could feel his cruelty and demonic nature. She really found it hard to believe that Doctor Qiu would be a compassionate doctor.
After thinking about it carefully, Shao Wanru found that all the meaning in his words was to let her see Wang Yishu!
The corners of her mouth lifted silently, and she sneered in her heart. Wang Yishu was going to die, and she had not died for three years. If she visited her at this time and Wang Yishu had an accident, everything would be blamed on her.
Killing someone would be a big deal. It would even make all of her previous efforts in vain and trample her and Hao’er under the feet of Duke Xing’s Mansion again.
She was plotted against with the life of Wang Yishu. It should be Madam of Duke Xing’s scheme!
She was sure that this plot started three years ago. But at that time, she first used the plot to make Duke Xing’s Mansion retreat step by step, which was beyond their expectation.
And this Doctor Qiu definitely didn’t come to the capital city because of her.
She got up from the couch, walked to the window, and pushed open the slightly closed window. A gust of cold wind immediately blew in.
“Miss, your hair hasn’t dried yet. How can you let the wind blow in at this time?” Yujie hurriedly came to stop her.
Shao Wanru grabbed her hands and said, “Go and call Qing’er back!”
In the cold wind, her black hair was blown back, and she felt chilly on her head. However, the wind suddenly made her grasp something, and a hint of gloom flashed in the corner of her eyes.
He came to the capital three years ago not for her, but for whom?
“Ah…” Yujie had not realized what had happened.
“Go!” Shao Wanru had already let go of her hands and said with a smile. She was suddenly enlightened and clear.
“Yes, Miss, I will go immediately!” Yujie nodded and turned to walk out rapidly.
Qu Le came over and closed the window. She tried to persuade her. “Miss, you will have a headache if you keep letting the wind blow on you like this. The winter wind here is much stronger than that in Jiangzhou.”
Hearing her words, Shao Wanru turned back and walked to the dressing table. She sat down and said, “Qu Le, come and help me with my makeup. I will go out later!”
“Why are you still going out at this time? Miss, I’m afraid that Old Madam won’t let you go out now,” Qu Le looked out of the window and said. The cold wind was whistling outside. It seemed that it might snow soon.
Recently, the weather had been cold, and it would snow from time to time. The weather today was even more oppressive. It would be more serious than just snowing. The gloomy weather made it necessary to light up in the room. What’s more, it was almost dinner time, so they couldn’t go out without a good reason.
It was not that the Old Madam in the manor cared about the Miss very much, but that Miss was not allowed to go out. The people in the manor didn’t treat her as a family member. Although they didn’t forbid her to go out, it was not different from being grounded!
“I will dress up as a servant girl. I’ll go out with Yujie,” Shao Wanru said.
“Dress up as a servant girl?” Qu Le was stunned for a moment, and the comb in her hands stopped due to her surprise.
“Yes, dress up as a servant girl. In this way, you don’t have to ask for permission. You just say that you need to buy something for me!” Shao Wanru nodded and looked at herself in the mirror. She narrowed her watery eyes slightly. Old Madam didn’t allow her to go out on her own. But no matter whether she had a good reason or not, she could sneak out.
“Doctor Qiu’s matter is important…”
