Chapter 29
Facing the prime minister's disdain, Zou Lingxiao seemed a little dull. He watched the prime minister leave until he was far away, and then he said to Jiang Zuiyao: "I will send someone to take care of the rest. Someone will take you out of the house."
Jiang Zuiyao nodded, stood up and said, "I'm causing trouble for you."
Zou Lingxiao stopped talking, supported the servant's hand, and limped out of the front hall.
I followed the servant to the door of the mansion, walked out of the prime minister's mansion and went down the steps. I saw Linghui waiting outside. The Shao family also sent a carriage.
Jiang Zuiyao got on the carriage and walked in the direction of Shao's house. After seeing Nanny Li, Linghui was no longer as indifferent as before, and asked worriedly: "Where did the young lady go this night? This servant is very worried.
"
Jiang Zuiyao looked at Linghui with surprise. Would Linghui be worried about her?
She immediately guessed that Nanny Li had been kicked out of the Shao family, and Linghui had no one to rely on. Since she was from the East Hospital, she naturally wanted to seek refuge with Jiang Zuiyao.
Jiang Zuiyao saw through it but didn't say anything, and replied perfunctorily: "I'm fine."
Linghui stopped asking questions and said, "The master already knows that you saved the Prime Minister's legitimate son, so he sent a slave to take you back."
Jiang Zuiyao asked, "Does Shao Ziqing know?"
Linghui nodded: "The eldest young master also knows. There was a lot of commotion yesterday, and the master is even angry."
Jiang Zuiyao fainted and woke up in Nanxian Hall. She had no idea what happened next, so she asked, "What happened last night?"
Linghui said solemnly: "The eldest young lady did not know something. After the bathroom in the east courtyard collapsed, the master was alerted. The master knew that you had been robbed by gangsters. He immediately became furious with the eldest young master and sent people to look for you all night. You
If you don't come back, I'm going to report to the police."
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Zuiyao was suddenly shocked: "Collapsed? How could the bathroom collapse?"
Linghui said slightly anxiously: "Last night, the young master and the thief fought. The slave was so frightened that she didn't dare to look at it. She didn't dare to go to the bathroom until afterwards and found that the bathroom collapsed."
Recalling the stormy scene last night, Jiang Zuiyao found it unbelievable. Now that she knew the bathroom collapsed, Jiang Zuiyao was stunned to see what kind of fierce battle happened last night.
After returning to the mansion, he went straight to the front hall. When Jiang Zuiyao stepped across the threshold, he saw Shao Jiang and Shao Ziqing there.
Jiang Zuiyao walked in, and Shao Jiang asked: "Zuiyao, are you okay?"
Jiang Zuiyao shook her head: "I'm fine."
While replying, Jiang Zuiyao glanced at Shao Ziqing, who was looking at her gloomily.
Shaojiang looked at Jiang Zuiyao who was unharmed, and thought to himself that luckily nothing happened, otherwise how would he explain it to the Minister of Household Affairs?
Jiang Zuiyao took his seat, and Shao Jiang immediately asked: "Why did you go to the Prime Minister's Mansion? And you also cured the Prime Minister's legitimate son's leg injury?"
The sudden question made Jiang Zuiyao hesitate a little, and she thought for a moment before she dared to reply: "I didn't cure Zou Lingxiao's leg injury, I just applied medicine for him."
The one-sided answer made Shaojiang look at his daughter-in-law in confusion.
It has been a year since Jiang Zuiyao married into the Shao family, and he has not heard that his legitimate daughter-in-law is capable of treating people's illnesses. He does not believe that Jiang Zuiyao and Zou Lingxiao, who are strangers to each other, will heal him, which makes him even more suspicious.
Linghui stepped forward and interjected: "Master, the Prime Minister's Office said that in order to thank the young lady for her treatment, a hundred taels of silver have been specially prepared."
Shaojiang glanced at the silver taels on the tray in Linghui's hand, and showed a little disdain: "It is unprecedented for our Shao family to be able to save the prime minister's son. Is he slapping me in the face with these one hundred taels? Give it back! I, Shao,
I don’t want the money from his Prime Minister’s Palace!”
Seeing that Shao Jiang was angry, Linghui didn't dare to say anything. She glanced at Jiang Zuiyao subconsciously, and Jiang Zuiyao said, "Since father said so, let's send the money back."
Linghui nodded and went out with the silver.
Shaojiang then said to Jiang Zuiyao solemnly: "Zuiyao, please remember that from now on, you are not allowed to have any contact with the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Jiang Zuiyao's heart tightened and she nodded: "I understand."
Shao Jiang then glanced at Shao Ziqing and spoke again: "From now on, you will be in charge of the internal affairs of the East Courtyard. You don't have to look at Ziqing's face. If he dares to bully you again, you can tell me.
I will make the decision for you."
Jiang Zuiyao glanced at Shao Ziqing, who had an angry face, nodded and said, "Yes."
"You're tired after a hard night, go back and rest." Jiang Zuiyao got up quickly when she heard what Shao Jiang said. She was afraid that Shao Jiang would not be able to answer any more questions, so she turned around and went out.
Shao Jiang watched Jiang Zuiyao walk away, and said to Shao Ziqing beside him: "Did you know that she had medical skills before?"
Shao Ziqing shook his head: "I don't know."
Shao Jiang frowned slightly. Could it be that Jiang Zuiyao had known medical skills earlier but didn't show it? He had never heard the Minister of the Ministry of Finance mention that his daughter knew medical skills before. Thinking about Shao Heng's illness and seeing so many doctors, he couldn't believe it.
The disease was not cured, but the disease was cured after being put into Jiang Zuiyao's hands. This shows that Jiang Zuiyao's medical skills are not bad.
Thinking about today's events again, Shao Jiang was even more confused and asked: "Isn't she staying in the east courtyard all the time? How come she has contact with Zou Lingxiao?"
Shao Ziqing couldn't answer, so he just said: "My son doesn't know either. She hasn't interacted with anyone since she got married. Maybe she knew her before."
Shao Jiang raised another question: "Where did she go last night? Also, why did the thief who broke into Shao's house take her away? And he sent her back safe and sound, don't you think it's strange?"
How could Shao Ziqing say that it was a thief who saved Jiang Zuiyao? If he said so, his intention to kill Jiang Zuiyao would be exposed, and his father would not tolerate it.
In this case, Shao Ziqing could only say: "My son will investigate this matter carefully and explain it to his father after it is found out."
Shao Jiang nodded: "Be careful, don't let Zui Yao know about it, and don't worry too much. Since she is the daughter of the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, she will definitely not betray the Shao family."
Shao Ziqing nodded: "My son understands."
Shaojiang breathed a long sigh of relief: "Fortunately, she is safe, otherwise it would be difficult for me to explain to the Minister of Hubu. What happened last night will probably reach the ears of the Minister of Hubu, and he will definitely want to inquire.
You must never treat her harshly again in the future, do you hear me?"
Shao Ziqing was slightly reluctant, but still nodded and said: "My son understands."
Shao Jiang stood up slowly and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and asked: "What on earth did the thief who broke into the east courtyard last night do?"
Shao Ziqing's face darkened: "That man went to his son's study and didn't take anything. This man was very skilled in martial arts and my son couldn't catch him."
Shao Jiang stared at Shao Ziqing's face for a long time and asked, "More powerful than you? That's not an ordinary person."
