[281] The past of the adoptive father
Because Emperor Xuanren mentioned the possibility of taking back the "Iron Scroll of Alchemy Book", he was very frightened for a while. But now that he thought about it, the emperor just said that. He had no intention of seizing the title because of this incident. He only wanted to work hard to rectify it.
If Xu Guogong's palace is improved, there will naturally be no crisis of seizing the title. Then there is nothing to be afraid of. And when the power of Xu Guogong's palace falls into their hands, they have never thought about the possibility of it getting worse. Isn't this all?
Thanks to this incident?!
Xu Guogong smiled coolly, "In your eyes, is this the end of the matter?"
Otherwise? Mrs. Xu Guogong’s Crown Prince really doesn’t know what else is going on.
"I defended you in front of dad, so you were right? How could your fault be exposed so easily? You didn't pay the price for doing something wrong, and you still want benefits. Is there such a cheap thing? Those things you gave away
What is the value of the thing, you have no idea? How many treasures can Duke Xu’s mansion have? If it can play some role, that’s it. But now that the thing is gone, and you have made a grudge against someone, throw it into the water.
You can still hear some noise."
Mrs. Xu Guogong's originally fiery heart was poured with ice water. This matter could not be escaped after all. "Master, I didn't expect this. I planned to get the things back..."
"Oh, then your plan is quite detailed." Prince Xu Guogong mocked.
"Who would have thought that people who heard about things from more than 20 years ago could see through them at a glance? That's all. They could do it so brilliantly."
"So you not only treat people as a fool, but they also show mercy to you when they know you have malicious intentions? Of course you are a fool, but if you replace some other things with medicinal materials and things suitable for the girl's family,
Is it possible to cover up something? I just know today that you need others to teach you about these things."
Mrs. Xu Guogong's face was burning. This was more embarrassing than scolding her directly, and made her feel ashamed and angry. "This person is greedy and sees good things..."
"You lose your mind and brain when you see good things. Are you talking about yourself?"
"Master——" Because of embarrassment, the voice of Mrs. Xu Guogong's son rose several times.
"Let me tell you again, even if my father delegates power in the Duke's Mansion, it doesn't mean that I can take over smoothly. Don't say anything to me that is not good for the Duke's Mansion. It will be of no benefit to them. They don't dare to do it.
What kind of nonsense, compared with carving up the Duke's Mansion, and comparing the few benefits that can only be obtained by relying on the name of the Duke's Mansion, not everyone will choose the latter. There is a saying that if I can't get it, others can't even think of it.
, do you think any of my brothers are like this?
After talking about internal worries, let’s talk about external worries.
Wenren, since they brought the matter to the emperor, do you think they will allow you to escape unharmed?
Let’s not talk about others, let’s just talk about Fan Wuguo. Fan Wuguo’s appearance returned to normal, Princess Fukang’s heart knot was relieved. Wen Renyang got married, and Fan Wuguo not only came to the door, but also helped to welcome the bride. Others
Do people say that he is treated like this? Fan Wuguo has been like a domineering king since he was a child. The emperor has always been very indulgent to him. The prince always avoids him when he sees him. There are rumors that he directly called the fourth girl's sister. Do you think he will?
What will you do for the fourth girl Wenren?"
Mrs. Xu Guogong's expression changed a bit, "He, what can he do to me?"
"Queen Mother Qianqiu, he can throw Princess Cheng directly into the water, do you think you have privileges in front of him?
To take a step back, even if he wouldn't do anything to you, wouldn't he do anything to other people in Duke Xu's mansion? He would block the door of other people's houses and beat up every man who came in and out. It's not like he didn't do this kind of thing.
I did it before. He performed such a show in Xu Guogong's mansion. What can you do to him?
No one in the whole family can do anything to him or do anything to him. So what about you, the culprit?
Or I don’t have the same understanding as you and oppose me everywhere? How else can I organize this huge Duke’s mansion? If it doesn’t go well for a long time, do you think the emperor will be angry? I feel like our Duke Xu’s mansion didn’t take his words seriously.
?
Mr. Yu, let me ask you now, are you still proud of yourself? Do you still claim to be a hero?"
Mrs. Xu Guogong's son finally became silent and truly realized the seriousness of the matter.
"In the past, you didn't make any mistakes. I thought you were better than the superiors and more than the inferiors. It was acceptable. But this time something went wrong, I realized that you are so stupid, ill-informed and selfish, just staring at someone with low eyelids.
That something."
For the wife of Crown Prince Xu Guogong, these words were even more difficult for her to accept than directly attacking her.
It is easy for Xu Guogong to delegate power, just one sentence, but it is extremely difficult for Xu Guogong to take power. However, this is indeed an opportunity. If he misses this time, Xu Guogong may really have to wait for his father to pass away.
, although the name is justifiable, those brothers will not give up in private. It is better to take advantage of now. If they go too far, for the sake of the Duke's government, his father will step in to suppress them at the appropriate time.
No matter how difficult it is, we must face it head on.
"You are so stupid. I don't expect you to do anything to help me this time. It's enough not to hold me back. So, Madam, I will hand over the power of the medium-term payment. From today on, I can stay in the yard peacefully."
, don’t go anywhere, this may calm Wen’s anger, maybe solve external troubles, and give my husband enough energy to solve internal troubles.”
Mrs. Xu Guogong's Crown Prince's eyes widened in disbelief. Is she being deprived of power and grounded?! "Master, how could you..."
"Or do you want to get a divorce letter and go back to the Yu family?" Xu Guogong interrupted her rudely. "Choose one of two, there is no third way."
Mrs. Xu Guogong gritted her teeth, and the flesh of her cheeks trembled.
"That's it for now." After saying that, the prince Xu Guogong waved his sleeves and walked away.
Mrs. Xu Guogong stood there in a daze for a long time, with an unspeakable helplessness in her eyes. The red palm marks on her face were so clear. When she fell to the ground, her hair accessories were scattered, and it looked like
Embarrassing and pitiful.
However, at this time, there were only a few servants around her who quickly shrunk into quails. However, even if there were other people present, they probably would not sympathize with her. Perhaps they would just ridicule her and bring it upon themselves.
Prince Xu Guogong announced that the power of the central government would be handed over to his eldest daughter-in-law and several younger siblings. This issue was indeed a bit unexpected. Regardless of whether this was his plan to delay the war, no one would dislike such things as rights.
It seems that it is only the power of the inner house, but if used properly, it will definitely bring many benefits to my small family. Whoever pushes it out will be a fool.
This matter was essentially meant to be seen by outsiders, and naturally it would not be blocked. Therefore, the Han family quickly got the news, but even so, it was neither salty nor indifferent, and they insisted on saying something.
If anything, she was actually dissatisfied with the result, as it was too cheap.
However, that was the housework of Xu Guogong's house, and it had nothing to do with her. She only had to take care of her one-third of an acre of land and take good care of her husband and children.
Two days later, Duke Xu's mansion sent someone to visit him again. This time, they mainly came to visit Xu Tongdan. Compared with before, his attitude was much more respectful. After asking what Xu Tongdan meant, Xu Tongdan said, "
After all, this person was from her yard, even though her mother only arranged it for her after she came back.
A screen was placed in front of the hospital bed, and Xu Tongdan lay quietly.
The visitor hesitated and told about the current situation in Xu Guogong's mansion. She actually came on the orders of Xu Tongdan's eldest sister-in-law.
Xu Tongdan rested peacefully. It can be said that he was isolated from the outside world these days, so he had no idea that such a thing had happened. He felt guilty and sad for a while. Miss Wenren saved her life, but her mother did such a thing.
Come on, at the beginning, didn't you think about her situation and feelings a little bit? Even if there is no emotion, they are still blood relatives.
To be honest, she hasn't been thrown out yet, and I heard that people really don't take her as an ordinary kind person.
Xu Tongdan was silent for a long time, and finally said lightly "I understand."
With Xu Tongdan's attitude, the visitors didn't know what to say, and in the end they had no choice but to leave angrily.
The screen was removed, and Xiaocao's maid came to see Xu Tongdan's situation, "Our girl doesn't know about this yet, so there's no need for Miss Xu to mention it in front of her." As a maid, she knows more about some things, Madam.
I have told them that if the girls find out, it will be one thing, but they should not take the initiative to mention it. They are just talking about dirty things and don't dirty the girls' ears.
Xu Tongdan was stunned...
"The entire Wen family hopes that the girl can live a simpler life." The maid said with a chuckle.
At this moment, Xu Tongdan was extremely envious. The whole family worked together to build a pure land for the girls in the family. Looking at the world, how many people can do this? However, the fourth girl of Wenren is different from the other girls. I am afraid that I will look at it for a lifetime.
Everyone wants to pursue a medical career. It must be that only by devoting yourself wholeheartedly and not being disturbed by the outside world can your medical skills be so extraordinary and holy.
Being held in the palms of so many people's hands and protected is what she deserves.
At this moment, Xiaocao is sorting out all the cases since returning to Wenren's home in the study. Although the number of people treated is probably not as much as the number of consultations in a day before, but in the past few months, all the cases she has handled,
The situations are all special and can be used as cases. Basically, they cannot be solved by one or two doses of medicine and last for a long time. She has made detailed records of every stage and every diagnosis and treatment.
These things may become her "textbooks" in the future.
She never took the initiative to ask about outside matters, so she really didn't know anything about the affairs of Duke Xu's mansion.
Xu Tongdan's condition has stabilized, and she is no longer so busy. Her main focus is on Wei Tingyu.
A few days later, Xiaocao got the news that her adoptive father was back.
This news made Xiaocao very excited. On the one hand, Wei Tingyu's condition may finally have someone to help her share the burden. On the other hand, after not seeing him for many years, she really missed her adoptive father. Even though she knew that he was in good health and could not see her with her own eyes,
I always felt a little uneasy in my heart.
However, "My adoptive father refuses to enter the imperial city, why?" Xiaocao was very surprised.
When Wei Tingyu brought this news, not only Xiaocao was puzzled, but other people who heard about it were also puzzled.
"Is it because I went back to Wenren's house and my adoptive father has a grudge against Gaomen or something?" Xiaocao said hesitantly.
"That's not the case, Xuan'er, you are overthinking." Wei Tingyu reassured, "Actually, this also involves an old case from more than fifty years ago. Your adoptive father actually came from the Lin family, a medical family that once existed.
For nearly two hundred years ago, the entire Taiyuan Hospital could be said to be dominated by the Lin family. At the most, 70% of the people had the surname Lin, and at the least, there were 40 to 50%."
Xiaocao was surprised, and the others who heard about the family were also surprised.
After Xiaocao was surprised, she couldn't help but frown, "There is no one named Lin in Taiyuan Hospital now." However, Xiaocao had seen people named Lin in a few letters from Taiyuan Hospital, but the contents of those letters were different.
They are all mediocre. Most of the manuscripts actually have dates. There are not many other manuscripts from the same period, and many of them are worth learning. According to Ting Yu, it is obvious that something is wrong. Since it can occupy most of the Taiyuan Hospital,
Not to mention that the most outstanding ones are all members of the Lin clan, but there are definitely no shortage of them.
"During the reign of Emperor Jiacheng (the grandfather of Emperor Xuanren), the Lin family was the dominant family in Taiyuan Hospital. In fact, most of the Lin family members were very similar to Dr. Lin. They focused on medicine and had little interest in intrigues.
He was not good at it, but at the time he somehow offended someone and was framed. Emperor Jiacheng's beloved concubine and beloved son died one after another. All the evidence pointed to Lin's murder. The furious Emperor Jiacheng implicated the entire Lin family. At that time
All the Lin clan members from the Taiyuan Hospital were imprisoned and executed. After that, all other Lin clan members over the age of fourteen were punished with hard labor and sent to mines and salt fields in various places. They were not pardoned, while the other old, weak, women and children
, he was scattered and sent to various frontiers, and was not allowed to enter the imperial city forever, and his descendants were not allowed to practice medicine.
Doctor Lin was actually fifteen years old at the time. The reason he escaped was because he was studying abroad.
Due to such changes, Doctor Lin kept his name anonymous, and it took many years before he changed his surname to Lin again.
After decades, there are actually still some members of the Lin clan who are still around. These people are actually the obsession of Divine Doctor Lin. I don’t know if you, Xuan’er, have any impression. In those years when you followed Divine Doctor Lin, you should have encountered
I’ve met some ‘special people’.”
Xiaocao shook his head and said in a daze, "I don't know, in my impression, my adoptive father has always been like that, there is no special time." To be honest, this incident really stimulated Xiaocao a lot.
, even if it happened decades ago, not to mention that she was not born at that time, her grandparents were still children. Even so, she felt very sorry for her adoptive father. "Ting Yu, can the case of Lin's case be reversed?
