Chapter 203 - 203 Someone from the Marquis’ Estate

203 Someone from the Marquis’ Estate

“Maybe I didn’t sleep well last night,” Su Yuan said warmly.

Qin Yun said, “Oh, then Uncle, hurry up and rest. Cousin, let’s go hunting. Let’s not disturb Uncle’s rest!”

Su Mo paused for a moment and said, “I have a few friends to visit. I’m afraid I won’t be able to hunt with you today.”

“Ah?” Qin Yun was disappointed.

!!

He was a child who had been pampered by the two families. His requests were rarely rejected.

In the past, Su Mo would have listened to him.

However, there was indeed something that had to be done immediately.

Su Mo smiled and said, “How about I accompany you next time?”

Qin Yun said arrogantly, “But I just want to hunt today!”

Previously, he was inferior to a country b.u.mpkin and even suffered a whip from that country b.u.mpkin. It was not until these two days that his face healed. He had suffered injustice and wanted to wreak vengeance in the forest!

Su Mo said seriously, “Not today.”

Qin Yun curled his lips and left unwillingly. “I’ll go find Second Cousin and Third Cousin!”

Su Yuan looked at Qin Yun and shook his head. “This child is really spoiled. Fortunately, his sister isn’t like him.”

Although Qin Yun’s sister had been pampered since she was young, she was much more sensible than Qin Yun. She was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She was also gentle and virtuous. She was a famous talent in the capital.

Thinking of Qin Yanran, Su Yuan couldn’t help but think of the marriage between the Protector Duke’s residence and the Third Prince.

He frowned. “There’s no time to lose. Mo’er, set off for Apricot Flower Town today.”

“Yes, Father.”

“Wait.” Su Yuan stopped his eldest son. “Young Master Xiang and Young Marquis Jing are also in Apricot Flower Town. You… have to avoid them.”

Su Mo nodded. “I understand.”

After discussing the details of the trip with Su Yuan, Su Mo left the ancestral residence in a carriage.

Not long after leaving the ancestral residence, Su Mo felt that he was being followed.

He opened a gap in the back curtain of the carriage. After taking a glance, he quietly lowered the curtain.

Su Mo chose a high-grade warhorse and arrived in town in the afternoon.

This was his first time in Apricot Flower Town. In order to ensure that the mission was successfully completed, he brought a map and a coachman who knew the way.

The coachman was not Zheng Guang.

Zheng Guang had already shown his face. Su Mo did not know the Su family’s att.i.tude towards Su Yuan. To be cautious, he chose an unfamiliar servant.

“A trip to Spring Willow Lane,” he said.

The coachman did not dare to ask. Weren’t they going to Apricot Flower Village? Why did they change their route to go to Spring Willow Alley?

Although Su Mo was a gentle and filial son in front of Su Yuan, Su Mo’s temper was much stronger than Su Yuan’s. In private, the servants were very afraid of Su Mo.

“We’re here,” Su Mo said.

The coachman stopped the carriage at the Fu family’s entrance.

Investigating the Su family was important, but his grandfather’s health could not be ignored.

His grandfather had been in the military his entire life. He should not have to spend his last days on the sickbed without dignity.

Physician Fu had returned from his consultation and was drying herbs in the courtyard.

Seeing someone at the door, he thought that it was someone who was here for a consultation, so he said, “Come in. I’m almost done here. Go to the central room and sit for a while.”

Su Mo had never seen a physician.

He quietly observed at the door for a few breaths before showing his astonis.h.i.+ng observation skills. “Doctor Fu?”

“Ah, it’s me.” The doctor spread the herbs in the sack on the dustpan and looked up at the other party. “You are?”

Su Mo was dressed like a normal young master from the capital. Based on his appearance and bearing, he did not look like someone from town.

Doctor Fu was stunned for a moment. For some reason, he felt that this person was not here for a consultation.

“What’s the matter?” The doctor asked.

Su Mo smiled warmly. “I’m here to ask Doctor Fu for a consultation.”

Doctor Fu said, “I have a house call. Are you in a hurry? It might not be convenient today. A patient will come over to change his dressing later. He’s quite seriously injured. I have to see him first.”

“To the capital,” Su Mo said.

The doctor was stunned again.

Then, he shook his head like a rattle drum. “I can’t go to the capital. Find someone else!”

Su Mo said, “I won’t reveal Doctor Fu’s whereabouts.”

“It’s not about that. My mother is old and has been in the capital for so long. I’m worried… Wait, what do you mean by not revealing my whereabouts?” Halfway through his sentence, the doctor suddenly realized that something was wrong.

A wary look crossed his eyes.

At this moment, Aunt Fu walked out with her walking stick.

Aunt Fu said calmly, “Go back. My son won’t go to the capital for a consultation.”

Su Mo cupped his hands and bowed like a junior. “Old Madam Fu, only Doctor Fu can treat my grandfather’s illness.”

Aunt Fu said in a low voice, “I’ve said it before. With my son’s medical skills, he can’t treat the Old Marquis!”

Su Mo said, “How could that be? Three days ago, my father accidentally inhaled the willow catkins and was in danger. Your son’s beloved disciple saved my father’s life. You more or less know my father’s situation. Every time it flares up, it’s really dangerous.”

...

“Mom, do you know each other?” The doctor asked.

Aunt Fu did not answer him. Instead, she looked at him coldly. “Have you taken in a disciple?”

The doctor’s eyes flashed. “Ah… well…”

Aunt Fu asked, “When did you accept a disciple!”

The doctor coughed lightly. “Just… just before the new year.”

Aunt Fu asked, “Who is it? How old is he? Where does he live? Is he married? Is his family clean?”

“Clean. Her family background is very clean. She’s from the Apricot Flower Village. How, how old is she…” The doctor did not ask the girl.

“Sixteen,” Su Mo said.

Aunt Fu frowned as if she was wondering why Su Mo knew the other party’s age. However, she thought that it was most likely Su Yuan who said it, so she didn’t take it to heart.

“Bring him over for me to meet another day,” Aunt Fu said to her son.

The doctor said awkwardly, “There’s no need…”

...

“If you see that person, you’ll strangle me to death…

Aunt Fu snorted. “It’s a big deal to acknowledge a master. I haven’t had a cup of grand-disciple tea yet.”

The doctor whispered, “You’ve already drunk it… Not to mention grand-disciple tea, you’ve even eaten grand-disciple food…”

Aunt Fu frowned and said, “What are you muttering about?”

The Fu doctor’s expression turned serious. “Nothing.”

Aunt Fu suddenly said, “Wait, Apricot Flower Village? The same village as that girl? Why did you go there to accept disciples?”

The doctor wiped his cold sweat. “I…”

Aunt Fu waved her hand. “Forget it. As long as it’s not that girl, it’s up to you.”

“Yes, yes, yes,” the Physician Fu slurred.

Aunt Fu was about to annoy her son to death. “Did your mouth get smeared? Can you speak properly?”

Physician Fu braced himself and said, “That’s her.”

“Who is it?” Aunt Fu asked.

The Fu doctor looked death in the eye. “Su… Daya.”

Aunt Fu was shocked

Half an hour later, the Fu family’s courtyard was in chaos, accompanied by the screams of Physician Fu.

Su Mo came out of Spring Willow Alley and got into the carriage to Apricot Flower Village.

Just as they reached the next alley, he asked the carriage to stop.

“Come out.”

He spoke calmly.
