218 The Real Daughter and the Fake (2)
“Come and replace me tomorrow morning,” Su Xiaoxiao said firmly.
In the end, Physician Fu couldn’t persuade Su Xiaoxiao and sat in the Duke Mansion’s carriage.
Little Quanzi looked at Physician Fu’s departing back with a puzzled expression.
Why did Doctor Fu listen to his disciple so much?
Shouldn’t the disciple listen to the master?
Was he still her master?
…
On the other side, Qin Yanran brought the maidservant into the residence.
Qin Yun also lived in the residence. When he heard that his sister was there, he hurriedly rushed out the door. “Sister!”
Qin Yanran looked at her brother who was walking towards her and smiled. “Ah Yun.”
Qin Yun grabbed her sleeve and wheedled. “Sister, why did you only come to see me now? I’ve been back for two days! Are you here to bring me back to the residence?”
Qin Yanran said, “I heard that you came back for two days and slept for two days.”
Qin Yun curled his lips. “Isn’t that because it’s too tiring to travel? I wonder what Cousin is thinking. Must he bring me along? Isn’t it good to let me and Uncle come back?”
Qin Yanran said warmly, “Granduncle usually dotes on you the most. Now that he’s sick, Eldest Cousin naturally has to bring you back first. By the way, how’s Granduncle’s condition?”
At the mention of this, Qin Yun’s eyes flashed.
Qin Yanran frowned slightly. “Don’t tell me you haven’t seen Granduncle?”
Qin Yun said aggrievedly, “You can’t blame me for this… You don’t know how tiring it is to travel… Eldest Cousin didn’t let me rest at all… I almost died of exhaustion on the way… Sister, look, I’ve lost weight…”
Qin Yanran shook her head. “Forget it. Follow me to visit Uncle.”
Qin Yun muttered, “Then can I return to the residence tonight?”
Qin Yanran said, “Stay here with Granduncle!”
Qin Yun whispered, “Why… I miss Mom…”
Qin Yanran said sternly, “Granduncle dotes on you so much. Can’t you be filial to him?”
Qin Yun said listlessly, “I’m filial, but you have to let me return to the residence. Also, you’re clearly the one my grandfather dotes on the most.”
“You… Sigh.” Qin Yanran sighed helplessly. “Forget it, let’s go.”
The siblings went to the Old Marquis’s courtyard.
“Why don’t I see Cousin?”
“I don’t know what he was busy with. I didn’t see him when I woke up.”
Little Quanzi was smashing walnuts in the courtyard under Su Xiaoxiao’s instructions.
Hearing the conversation between the siblings, he quickly stood up. “Cousin, Miss!”
Qin Yun asked, “What are you doing? I heard you clanking just now. Aren’t you afraid of disturbing my granduncle?”
Xiao Quanzi smiled and said, “Miss Su asked me to smash a few walnuts.”
Qin Yanran was slightly stunned. “Miss… Su?”
The surname of the Duke of Zhenbei was Su, but there was no daughter in the Duke of Zhenbei’s family. If there was, they would not be so distant in their address.
Su Xiaoxiao walked out lazily. “Little Quanzi, are you done smashing the walnuts?”
Qin Yun’s gaze landed on Su Xiaoxiao. After a while, he exclaimed, “It’s you?!”
Qin Yanran recognized it too.
Wasn’t this the fat girl she had met in the pharmacy?
Xing’er’s eyes widened. “Aiyaya, Miss, it’s her! It’s her!”
Qin Yun said, “Wait, Sister, you know her too?”
Qin Yanran asked, “You know her?”
Little Quanzi was dumbfounded. “Young Master, Miss, do you… know Miss Su?”
They really had their own stories.
Qin Yanran and Su Xiaoxiao had only met once, so they didn’t know each other.
Qin Yun had many entanglements with the Su siblings.
At the Su family’s ancestral residence in Qingzhou, he had a fight with Su Ergou. Later, he got someone to ask about Su Ergou’s identity and said that the Su family had invited him to make snacks. The name of the business was Su Ji.
They were a pair of siblings. The elder sister was a fatty, and the younger brother was a blackie.
Qin Yun originally wanted to bring people to take revenge, but unfortunately, he was reprimanded by Su Yuan. Moreover, Su Yuan ordered him not to cause trouble. Otherwise, he would go back and tell his grandfather.
Qin Yun was most afraid of his grandfather.
Qin Yun and Su Xiaoxiao had never fought seriously. When Su Xiaoxiao went to settle the bill with Steward Yu, Qin Yun looked at her from afar.
Su Xiaoxiao’s appearance and characteristics were enough for anyone to remember her.
Qin Yun rolled up his sleeves arrogantly. “Alright! I didn’t cause trouble for you, but you came knocking on my door!”
“Brother!” Qin Yanran called out to him.
Little Quanzi took a few steps forward and stood between the two of them. “Young Master, Miss Su is here to treat the Old Marquis. She is the physician’s…”
Disciple.
...
“Is there a misunderstanding between you and Miss Su?” Little Quanzi asked.
Qin Yun could not be bothered with a slave. He said to Qin Yanran, “Sister, do you still remember that Su Ji I told you about in the letter? It was her brother who whipped me! My face has been swollen for half a month! I have to make them pay! I… what did you just say? What physician?”
Qin Yun asked Little Quanzi belatedly.
Little Quanzi said awkwardly, “The physician Eldest Young Master invited from Qingzhou.”
Qin Yun berated, “She’s a chef! How can she know how to treat people? Cousin was most likely deceived by her!”
What?
Miss Su was a chef?
Now it was Little Quanzi’s turn to be surprised.
However, she was invited back by Eldest Young Master. Little Quanzi could not really let her be harmed by Young Master.
Little Quanzi could only bite the bullet and say, “No, no! Young Master, Miss Su is that physician’s disciple…”
Qin Yun exploded. “What disciple? She’s a chef! Oh, I understand. You must be swindling everyone!”
...
Qin Yanran’s gaze involuntarily landed on Su Xiaoxiao.
Compared to the furious Qin Yun, Su Xiaoxiao was much calmer. She even grabbed a handful of walnuts that Little Quanzi had smashed and ate them with relish.
Qin Yanran frowned slightly.
A very strange feeling rose in her heart.
