Chapter 25
Wu Jinyan knew that Su Hao was worried about her situation at home, so she tried her best to comfort him. “My father never cared about what I did. As long as I don’t embarrass the Minister’s Estate, no one will stop me.”
“But you have to work here during the day and go to Fufeng Center at night. Isn’t it too tiring?” For the first time, Su Hao felt that he was useless. His heart ached for Wu Jinyan, but he didn’t know how he could help her.
“Yan’er, if you’re willing, I…”
“Brother.”
Su Yingxue interrupted Su Hao’s words and pulled him to the side. Wu Jinyan was about to prescribe medicine to the patient.
Su Hao’s words which he had prepared for a long time were interrupted. There was a trace of heaviness between his brows, “Sister, why don’t you let me say it? I want to marry her and let her live a stable life.”
“Brother, if you ask her to marry you now, I’m afraid she won’t have a peaceful life in the future. Moreover, she won’t see you again.”
Su Yingxue shook her head. With her brother’s EQ, he would need her help to get together with Wu Jinyan.
“Why? She’s living such a hard life now.”
“Don’t tell me you think that being the Young Madam of the Marquis’s Manor isn’t tough? She had no family background and capital to rely on, so how could her days in the Marquis’s Manor be easy? And do you think Father will agree to you marrying her?”
Su Yingxue thought that her brother understood what she meant.
Su Hao’s heart became heavier, “If I could set up another residence, she wouldn’t have to lead such a tough life.”
“Brother, you grew up in the military camp, so you don’t understand how difficult it is for a woman to survive. Miss Wu has been through a lot since she was young. It’s already not easy for her to get to where she is today with her own wisdom. Instead of marrying her and giving her a comfortable life, it’s better to let her develop her own skills and have enough strength to marry you openly.”
Su Yingxue’s eyes were bright and beautiful, like the sunshine in spring.
It wasn’t that Su Hao hadn’t thought about her words. “This path is too difficult. I don’t want her to work so hard.”
“But brother, you’re always on the battlefield. How can you be by her side all the time?”
Su Yingxue’s eyebrows twitched. Su Hao was instantly speechless and a little depressed. “I really can’t do it.”
“But I think Miss Wu can do it.” Su Yingxue said firmly.
When Su Hao came out from the back hall again, his expression was much more relaxed. There was a bright smile on his handsome face. “Yan’er, I will come to see you again. You… Take good care of yourself.”
Wu Jinyan lowered her head shyly, and her voice was extremely gentle. “Yes, the sachet from last time…”
“I bring it with me every day.” Su Hao quickly took out the sachet from his pocket and showed it to her, then put it away like a treasure.
Wu Jinyan felt a warm current in her heart. She was extremely touched.
What she was afraid of was not the difference in status between her and Su Hao. What she cared about was his feelings for her.
She knew that he cherished it very much.
This was enough to support her through every day’s tiring and difficult life.
At the Marquis’s Manor.
Su Yurou soiled herself. Not only was her image ruined, but she was also extremely uncomfortable.
When she came back, she realized that the laxative on her waist was gone. When she was lying on the bed weakly, she even called out hatefully, “Su Yingxue… you harmed me…”
She instructed Yuan Ruo to look for Su Jinxuan and ask him to investigate Su Yingxue. She had to find out what she had been doing recently based on her whereabouts.
When Su Jinxuan sent the news back, Su Yurou was still so weak that she couldn’t even get out of bed.
When she found out that Su Yingxue had opened Tongchang Medical Center, her eyes flashed with ruthlessness. “Yuan Ruo, pass my message to Jinxuan.”
She wanted Su Yingxue’s medical center to close down!
Su Yingxue went out to treat patients for a few days in a row and cured the long-term illnesses of a few wealthy families. She received a lot of remuneration and gifts.
Manager Qi flipped through the account book with a happy expression. “In less than half a month, we’ve made tens of thousands of taels of silver. Miss is really amazing!”
Su Yingxue nodded. “With the capital, we can do more things.”
“Miss, what else do you want to do?” Manager Qi was very excited. He felt that Su Yingxue could bring more surprises and incredulity.
Su Yingxue opened the window and pointed at the building across the street. “Get that building and ask Miss Wu if she’s willing to…”
Before she could finish speaking, there was a commotion downstairs.
A group of strong men rushed into the medical center. The leader slammed a bag of medicine on the table and shouted, “What medical center is this? I ate your medicine, and my condition has worsened! Are you trying to kill me!”
Manager Qi hurriedly went downstairs and walked in front of him. “Sir, let’s talk things out. If you feel that the medicine is not good, you can ask the doctor to take your pulse again and prescribe new medicine for you.”
“Bang!”
The man gave Manager Qi a punch and knocked him to the ground. Then, he waved his hand and ordered his brothers behind him, “Hit him! Smash it! Smash this black-hearted clinic, and don’t let them continue to harm people!”
The clinic was full of patients. When they saw this scene, they all ran out of the clinic.
The man in the lead picked up Manager Qi, but before he could do anything, he was hit by a teapot. He flew out and sank into the wall.
The brothers behind him were shocked. They followed the trail of the teapot and looked up the stairs.
Su Yingxue was dressed in a red tight-fitting outfit. Her long hair fluttered in the wind, and she looked heroic. On her beautiful face, there was an unattainable coldness.
She looked at her hand with a hint of disgust in her eyes. “This strength…”
Isn’t this a little too abnormal?
Little Ginseng’s lazy and crisp voice sounded. “If you don’t want it, you can return it to me. Hurry up and take care of those people!”
Su Yingxue slowly walked downstairs. “You’re just here to watch the show!”
Usually, it kept quiet.
“Nonsense, if you don’t fight, who will come out and watch? Who doesn’t like to sleep?”
“Isn’t it nice to see a fight?”
“Of course it is, quickly fight! Roar!”
The man in the wall was pulled out. He clutched his aching chest and coughed heavily. “You… Woman, I’m going to…I’ll beat you to death.”
Su Yingxue’s expression was cold. Her red lips curled up slightly as she spat out two arrogant and cold words, “Come over.”
“Ah…”
“Bang bang bang!”
“It hurts!”
Miserable cries rose and fell. Within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, all the troublemakers had fallen to the ground. Su Yingxue stepped on the man in the lead and ordered Manager Qi, “Inform the government office that someone is causing trouble.”
“Yes, Miss!”
Manager Qi supported himself with his hands on his waist as he instructed the people. However, before the people from the government office arrived, this group of people had already run away.
Su Yingxue did not stop them on purpose. After the people from the government office arrived, she cooperated and recorded their statements before tidying up the clinic.
Manager Qi rubbed his aching waist and was very puzzled. “Who is targeting the medical center?”
Su Yingxue frowned slightly. “Those people are burly and their martial arts aren’t weak. They are soldiers.”
“Soldiers? Why would our center offend them?” Manager Qi did not understand, but what surprised him even more was, “Miss, you are indeed the tigress of the family of generals. Your skills are extraordinary!”
The corners of Su Yingxue’s lips twitched, but she did not say that it was all thanks to the Little Ginseng.
