Chapter 290 Tip-Off

Su Wan and Gu Baozhu came at an unlucky time. Old Madam Zhao was invited to the ancestral hall, and she was placed in the flower hall to wait.

Perhaps they were worried that her current status would cause criticism if she sat with a group of ladies.

Therefore, there were only two sisters-in-law in this flower hall, and two maids serving, which was very quiet.

After a while, footsteps were heard.

Su Wan looked up and saw Zhao Wei wearing a black robe, walking steadily. The sunlight divided his face into light and dark, and his outline became deeper and more angular.

"Aren't you busy?" Su Wan came back to her senses and said in surprise: "Don't you need to entertain guests?"

"You are not a guest?" Zhao Wei's eyes swept across the tea and exquisite pastries on the small table, and fell on Su Wan's fair face. He seemed to be in better spirits than last time: "I came to thank you. My mother slept well after taking the medicine I prescribed last time."

"That's good." Su Wan took out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve, put it on the small table, and motioned Zhao Wei to check: "You came at the right time. I developed a typhoid medicine. I was going to give it to you after the birthday banquet."

Zhao Wei picked up the small porcelain bottle, pulled out the small stopper, poured out a pill and looked at it, "I don't understand medical theory, I don't understand it, I'll take it back to the military doctor."

"Okay." Su Wan replied: "If there is no problem, you can send someone to Xinglin Medical Clinic to negotiate with someone."

Zhao Wei saw that she was doing her job, and said "hmm".

The atmosphere in the room was a little weird.

Su Wan had said everything she should say. Seeing Zhao Wei staring at the porcelain bottle in a daze, she felt a little embarrassed, even uncomfortable.

At this time, someone called Zhao Wei anxiously.

"Wait here for a moment. Tell the maid if you need anything." Zhao Wei put the medicine bottle into his sleeve pocket and left.

Su Wan breathed a sigh of relief for no reason. Turning around, she saw Gu Baozhu staring at Zhao Wei's back.

"What are you looking at?"

"Sister-in-law, I remember this big brother." Gu Baozhu thought for a moment and smiled softly, "He came to our house and gave us a lot of things, right?"

"Yes." Su Wan flicked her head with her finger: "That's a thank-you gift."

Gu Baozhu covered her forehead: "Big brother is a good man."

Su Wan laughed, he is indeed a good man.

A quarter of an hour later, Rong's mother came in to invite Su Wan and Gu Baozhu: "Dr. Su, Miss Gu San, you have been waiting for a long time. The old lady has returned to Rong'an Hall, and specially asked the old slave to take you there."

"It's okay." Su Wan took Gu Baozhu's hand, and the two went to Rong'an Hall.

When passing the moon arch, a figure suddenly rushed over.

Su Wan wanted to avoid it, but Gu Baozhu was behind her, so she had to reach out to catch it. The momentum was so strong that Su Wan could not help but stagger, and only managed to stabilize himself by leaning his back against the tree trunk.

“Hiss——”

Su Wan gasped in pain from his back.

"Sorry, sorry! Did it hurt you?" Tang Nuan's head hit Su Wan's shoulder and she was stunned. Unexpectedly, Su Wan did not avoid it. She stood up in a hurry and rubbed Su Wan's back. She said with guilt on her face: "Shall I apply medicine for you?"

Su Wan raised her hand to block Tang Nuan's hand. Seeing that she was about to cry, she declined: "No, it doesn't hurt."

"I am very heavy. It must hurt a lot. No, I'll get a doctor for you!" Tang Nuan said nothing and took Su Wan's hand to leave: "I will be relieved if the doctor says it's okay."

Mother Rong came to her senses and said quickly: "Miss Tang San, there is a doctor in the mansion of Duke Zhao. I will ask the doctor Su for a doctor."

Su Wan agreed: "I am a doctor. No one knows the situation better than me. It's really okay." After a pause, he said: "Don't be so reckless next time."

Tang Nuan said listlessly: "I won't do it next time."

Su Wan smiled and prepared to withdraw her hand.

Tang Nuan let go of her hand and smiled at Su Wan: "I am Miss Tang San from Guangyuan Marquis's Mansion. I will come to see you after the banquet!" After that, she picked up her skirt and ran away in a hurry without waiting for Su Wan to react.

"..."

Didn't you say not to be rash?

Su Wan was a little helpless.

Mother Rong asked with concern: "Doctor Su, please follow me to see the palace doctor."

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt." Su Wan urged: "Don't delay the birthday celebration for the old lady."

Mother Rong was worried and planned to wait until she took the person to Rong'an Hall before asking the palace doctor to see Su Wan.

Su Wan saw Mother Rong walking in front and leading the way, and pinched the paper ball that Tang Nuan stuffed into her palm.

"Sister-in-law, Baozhu will apply medicine to you later." Gu Baozhu had two tears in her eyes, and did not miss the painful look on Su Wan's face when she hit the tree trunk.

Su Wan moved her shoulders, causing a dull pain in her back. "Okay, apply medicine on me when we return home."

Gu Baozhu agreed, and was very alert along the way, fearing that someone would bump into Su Wan again.

Su Wan unfolded the paper ball while tidying up Gu Baozhu's clothes. There was only one line of words on it: Be careful of Tang Haoyue and Tang Qingyu.

Tang Haoyue, Tang Qingyu?

Su Wan remembered the identities of these two people. Tang Haoyue was the eldest daughter of Guangyuan Marquis's Mansion, and Tang Qingyu was the Princess of Lin'an County.

The person she just bumped into claimed to be Miss Tang San. Wasn't she also from Guangyuan Marquis's Mansion? Why did she tip her off?

Tang Nuan's clean and pure eyes flashed through her mind, and Su Wan crumpled the paper into a ball and stuffed it into her sleeve.

She couldn't figure out when she had ever offended someone from Guangyuan Marquis's Mansion.

It seemed that the only time they met was on the street, when the confrontation caused by the two carriages was resolved by her.

Suddenly, Su Wan remembered Cao Suxue who was beside the Lin'an County Lady. Was this woman behind this?

Su Wan frowned and prepared to act according to circumstances.

——

When Su Wan arrived at Rong'an Hall, many ladies and young ladies had already come in.

As soon as she entered, the laughter inside was as if the pause button was pressed, and it suddenly became silent.

Old Madam Zhao waved to Su Wan and said kindly: "Su girl, have you been waiting for a long time? Come to me!"

Su Wan came to Old Madam Zhao, bowed and saluted her to wish her a happy birthday: "Old Madam, I wish you happiness as vast as the East Sea and a long life as long as the South Mountain." She presented the birthday gift she prepared with both hands.

Gu Baozhu also greeted her in a proper manner.

Old Madam Zhao smiled from ear to ear, took the birthday gift, handed it to the maid next to her, and held Gu Baozhu's hand: "Is this little girl your third sister? She looks very cute and likable."

Su Wan and Gu Baozhu were pulled by Old Madam Zhao to sit on her left and right, talking about some homely things as if no one was around.

The ladies and young ladies sitting below looked at it and had different thoughts.

Old Madam Zhao was raising Su Wan's status to avoid being looked down upon by them.

Lin'an County Lady stared at Su Wan, jealous and crazy. When she wished Old Madam Zhao a happy birthday, Old Madam Zhao's attitude was not warm, but very polite and distant.

In comparison, Old Madam Zhao liked Su Wan more.

Why?

What virtue did Su Wan have?

Lin'an County Lady gave Tang Haoyue a look.

"Wanwan, why did you come alone today? Didn't Old Madam Su come?" Tang Haoyue's words instantly broke the atmosphere in the room.
