Chapter 250: Can You Do That?
Chun Er was pissed. She was worried about Xie Qiao when she thought about what happened during the day.
“Our Young Lady’s health was lacking, and she had been unconscious for a day and a night. She was afraid that you guys would be worried, so she stopped us from calling a doctor. She also said that she was used to it since she was young and that it was fine for her to be unconscious. We were afraid that she would feel ill, so we listened to her. Madam, on the other hand, sent someone to get the Young Lady to see her. We told her that Young Lady was not feeling well, but she didn’t believe it!
“Early this morning, the sun was shining brightly. Young Lady loves to bask in the sun. She said that it was full of Yang energy and good for the body, so she laid down in the courtyard for a while. Madam brought a few servants and barged in just like that. Our Young Lady is an unmarried daughter of a respectable family. How could they be so rude?!
“That’s nothing. Young Lady asked them to leave, but they didn’t listen. Madam insisted that Young Lady was putting on an act and wanted to punish her. She said that she wanted to beat her up and make her kneel. Our Young Lady couldn’t even stand properly. Madam didn’t care at all. Instead, she kept provoking the Young Lady!
“That Steward Yuan also said that our Young Lady didn’t come home that night during Winter Clothes Day. What he said was like telling others that our Young Lady was indecent!
“Our Young Lady didn’t go home on Winter Clothes Day. She went to the academy. If you don’t believe me, you can go to the academy and ask the steward!
“When Madam heard the news, she was like an eagle that saw a prey and immediately pecked at her. She insisted on teaching the Young Lady a lesson. How is she a qualified Madam?! The Young Lady didn’t do anything bad. Even if she did, instead of trying to protect the family pride, the Madam only wanted to make a big fuss out of it!
“On the way to the capital, our Young Lady had to go through troubles everywhere she went! Ms. Lu bought all sorts of good things for Young Lady Pei, but not a single one of them was for our Young Lady. The Yuan family’s compensation a few days ago was meant for the Young Lady, but Madam made it feel like it was her who bought them for the Young Lady. She even said that she had sacrificed a lot for the Young Lady. What a joke!
“This servant doesn’t know much, but I know that my heart aches for the Young Lady. If it weren’t for you guys, the Young Lady wouldn’t be suffering so much!”
Chun Er’s consecutive words stunned Xie Niushan.
In the end, he found out that this young lady was filial to her father, so she endured everything all the way.
As her father, he had married an evil woman, causing this young lady to suffer all sorts of troubles.
His old face flushed.
“How’s Eldest Sister’s health now?” Xie Pinggang quickly asked.
“She ate some supplements. She’s doing alright.”
Xie Qiao looked low-spirited.
“H-How could you not tell us that you’re sick? It’s not like our family doesn’t have money to get you a doctor!” Xie Niushan said.
Xie Qiao looked up at him, “Does Father have money? Father is clearly very poor.”
Xie Niushan was speechless. He felt a pain in his chest.
Poor.
There was no official who was poorer than him.
Xie Niushan felt sullen and smacked Xie Pinghuai on the head, “You little brat, when are you going to pay back the 10,000 taels of silver that you owe your Eldest Sister?!”
Xie Pinghuai covered his head and stared at his father.
What did that have to do with him?!
After venting his anger, Xie Niushan looked at Xie Qiao and said with an embarrassed smile, “No matter how poor we are, we must get you a doctor… Oh right, what supplement do you eat? Is it enough? Go buy some more and get the money from our account later…”
“Is Father going to pay for me?” Xie Qiao looked up at him with a calm expression.
“Of course!” Xie Niushan immediately expressed his stance.
“That’s great, I’ll ask Chun Er to send you my daily food list in a while. My body needs all that to be healthy, so there’s nothing on the list that you should miss. I’ll be relying on you from now on.” Xie Qiao said with a serious expression, “Is Yuan Rong Dead? If he is, send him to the mass grave. If he’s not… hit him 80 times, break his limbs and chase him out of the house. Can Father do that?”
