Chapter 189 As a junior, I should go and visit them.
His sudden and strong reaction nearly startled Ge Shi. "General, I'm begging the Prince."
The implication is that this has nothing to do with him, and why is he so angry?
Ye Gengxin, his face dark with anger, shooed them away, "Begging anyone won't help. I'm the one who decides this! If I don't let Doctor Hua go, she can't go!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Ge also became somewhat angry. "General, you are being far too inhumane! Although my Huai'er and your daughter have broken off their engagement, it's just a broken engagement. There's no need for you to turn against him like this. Besides, my husband is an official in the same court as you. Putting aside everything else, just for the sake of our shared court relationship, you shouldn't stand by and watch him die. Moreover, I'm begging the Prince; what does it have to do with you?"
"Hmph!" Ye Gengxin arrogantly raised his chin. "Dr. Hua is my second son's wife, and I am her father-in-law. This marriage was bestowed by the Emperor today! She is now the daughter-in-law of the Ye family. Tell me, does it have anything to do with me?"
"What?" Madam Ge's face darkened. That dissolute and unruly second son of the Ye family had actually been granted a marriage by the Emperor? And the bride was none other than the renowned physician from Huaxiang Pavilion?
"Don't believe me? Ask Prince Cheng!"
Madam Ge looked at Yuchi Ling again, her eyes red and pleading, "Your Highness, please have mercy and let Physician Hua examine my master's condition! I kowtow to you!"
After saying that, she decisively banged her forehead against the ground.
"Madam Wei, please get up," Yu Chi Ling said expressionlessly.
“Your Highness…” Madam Ge raised her head and looked at him cautiously, because she really couldn’t see through this Prince Cheng.
"The rule of Huaxiang Pavilion is not to interfere in other people's affairs easily, unless it is the imperial family. If Madam Wei does not mind, I can introduce her to Director Lu of the Imperial Medical Academy. He is the head of the Imperial Medical Academy and also the emperor's physician, so his medical skills are beyond doubt."
“This…” Ge’s eyes were filled with resistance.
She came to seek help from the renowned physician Hua to cover up her husband's secret and prevent his colleagues and relatives from finding out. After all, if word got out about that illness, not only would her husband be disgraced, but the entire Wei family would be unable to hold their heads high!
"Not only is Imperial Physician Lu's medical skill superb, but his benevolence and virtue are also highly respected. If Madam Wei doesn't even trust him, then I must question Madam Wei's motives. Why not use the imperial physicians instead of seeking out a martial arts practitioner? I wonder what Madam Wei's intentions are?" Yu Chi Ling's handsome face darkened slightly, and his tone became cold and hard.
"Your Highness is wise, I have absolutely no ill intentions!" Ge Shi realized he had misunderstood and quickly agreed, "Then we will trouble Your Highness to help introduce us to Imperial Physician Lu. My family will be eternally grateful!"
"I will send someone to inform Academician Lu shortly. You should go back and wait."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I take my leave." Madam Ge stood up, and suddenly noticed the gift box in the servant's hands. She hesitated for a moment, then smiled slightly at Yuchi Ling, "Your Highness, please accept these gifts."
"Take these back with you." Yu Chi Ling picked up the teacup beside him, not even glancing at the gift boxes.
"Then I will take my leave."
Watching her leave with her servants, and making sure they were far away, Ye Shishu, who had been holding back her laughter for a long time, could no longer contain herself and burst out laughing.
Ye Gengxin asked his daughter, puzzled, "What's so funny?"
Ye Shishu laughed, "Ninth Aunt just told me that Wei Guangzheng has a sexually transmitted disease, and Ge Shi came to our door seeking medical help. Isn't that funny?"
Ye Gengxin sighed, “I heard that Wei Guangzheng redeemed a prostitute from the brothel and took her home as a concubine. Not long ago, I heard that he added several more concubines to his household. I never thought that he would be so obsessed with women in his middle age. Not only does he not cherish his reputation, but he also contracted such an illness.”
Ye Shishu didn't respond.
Firstly, this was something she and her second brother did. Secondly, since Madam Ge and Madam Wen killed her mother, the Wei family father and son were the beneficiaries, so it wouldn't be wrong to deal with them however they wanted.
But more than ten years have passed since then, and seeing that her father has found new love, she doesn't want to bring up the past and cause him regret and pain, thus affecting their current life.
She will avenge her mother!
"Ahem!" Yu Chi Ling cleared his throat, put down his teacup, and stood up. "It's getting late. Tomorrow I have to meet with Grand Secretary Zhou. I won't disturb you any longer, Father-in-law."
"Yes." Knowing that his son-in-law was going to the court, Ye Gengxin was also happy for him.
Ye Shishu waved to them and then followed Yuchi Ling out of the General's Mansion.
As soon as the couple left, Ye Gengxin asked Aunt Jiu curiously, "Aunt Jiu, how did you know about Wei Guangzheng's matter, which is so private?"
Aunt Jiu was stunned, feeling awkward.
They can't very well tell the truth that Wei Guangzheng's concubines were all arranged by the Princess and the Second Prince, can they?
It was even less likely that he would tell him that the message sent by Yu Niang had reached her because the Princess and the Second Prince had gone to Wangqiu Mountain!
"Well..." Fortunately, she was quick-witted and explained, "When you weren't in the manor, I was bored so I went out for a walk. I passed by the Wei family's envoy and saw Madam Wei selling off several of her concubines. As you know, I have martial arts skills, so I secretly inquired and found out what happened."
"Then why didn't you say so sooner?" Ye Gengxin glared at her.
"How can you just talk about something like that? Even if you want to say it, I'd rather hear it as bad luck!" Aunt Jiu rolled her eyes at him and turned to leave the hall.
"..."
……
Yuzhuyuan.
Holding the imperial decree of marriage, Ye Shijun grinned from ear to ear, "Having a prince as a brother-in-law is really great! He even managed to get me an imperial decree of marriage! I don't know what kind of luck I had in my past life to enjoy this kind of blessing in this life thanks to my sister, haha!"
"Look how happy you are, you're practically drooling!" Gu Simo teased him, trying not to laugh.
"How could I not be happy?" Ye Shijun hugged her, lowered his head and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek, his eyes crinkling into slits with laughter. "This bestowed marriage isn't the most important thing. The most important thing is that when Prince Cheng becomes the Crown Prince, one day we'll be the Imperial Brother-in-law and Imperial Sister-in-law! As long as we hold onto our Prince brother-in-law's coattails, we'll definitely be promoted and ennobled in the future, hahaha!"
Gu Simo couldn't help but laugh out loud, but at the same time she raised her hand to cover his mouth, "Don't say things like that casually. That day hasn't come yet. Don't bring trouble to the Prince and my little sister!"
Ye Shijun pulled her hand down, grinning roguishly, "Don't worry, I understand! I'd rather treat them like royalty, why would I cause them any trouble?"
The couple were talking when they heard the servant's voice from outside the door.
Ye Shijun went to open the door and asked somewhat impatiently, "What is it?"
The servant quickly reported this.
After hearing this, Ye Shijun chuckled, "So miserable? Fine! Considering our past 'friendship,' as a junior, I should go and visit him."
