Princess Agent: The Sweet Country Girl's Way to Glory - Chapter 237
Chapter 237 Master Gili
Everyone looked over and saw an old man dressed in grayish-brown cloth walk out with a small wooden box. His hair was black and white. Although he had a goatee, there were traces of the cleanliness and nimbleness of a child between his eyebrows and eyes.
Who … was this person?
Everyone thought for a moment, but they had never seen him before. Seeing that the old man was wearing linen clothes that no servant of the wealthy family in the capital would wear, they immediately thought that the person who came was an ordinary old man. The servant who wanted to please Master Qiao immediately screamed, “Where did you sneak in? This is not a place for you to beg for money! Get lost!”
The old man’s face darkened. The others thought that he was right and immediately echoed, “That’s right! This is the Qiao Mansion! All the stones on the ground were shipped from Jiangnan! A slap the size of a palm is one tael of silver! Can you stomp on it?”
“Get lost!”
“…”
The old man finally couldn’t stand it anymore and walked over. He was so angry that he threw the wooden box at Master Qiao. Master Qiao didn’t even dodge!
“Qiao Fu! Is this the servant of your mansion?” As the old man spoke, he found a stool and sat down. “Look at this place! It’s a mess! And look at these servants, they’re all miasma! You have money, but you don’t have a heart!”
The moment these words were spoken, everyone was shocked!
Who exactly was this person? He actually dared to shout at Master Qiao like this and reprimand him!
Master Piansheng Qiao still had a smile on his face!
Master Qiao caught the wooden box and handed it over. He smiled and said, “Imperial Physician Huang, you’re here! I’ve been waiting for you for a long time! I don’t usually teach these servants. I’m busy with other things outside!”
What? This person was Imperial Physician Huang!
Everyone’s jaws immediately grew bigger, and they looked at the person who came. They felt that it was not like there was an imperial physician dressed in such an ordinary manner!
“Master, take a closer look. I’m afraid it’s not a counterfeit,” he said with a trembling voice.
“This is Imperial Physician Huang! How could it be fake!” Old Master Qiao’s forehead was covered in sweat as he glared at the servant.
The person standing beside him whispered to the servant who had just spoken, “Rumor has it that Imperial Physician Huang is skilled in medicine, but he is very idle. He suddenly appeared in the capital a few months ago and treated the emperor’s illness. He received a commendation. The emperor kept him in the Imperial Hospital because of his good words and bad words. A few days ago, our master donated tens of thousands of silver coins to persuade the emperor to invite Imperial Physician Huang out to treat his wife! Quickly stop talking nonsense!”
That person immediately fell silent. Master Qiao smiled flatteringly at Imperial Physician Huang, but Imperial Physician Huang ignored him. Seeing Su Wanwan staring at him, he also stared at Su Wanwan. Master Qiao thought it was Su Wanwan’s fault and immediately said, “What are you standing there for? Hurry up and take her …”
However, before Master Qiao could finish his sentence, Imperial Physician Huang said, “Good disciple! Why did you come in? You made yourself smelly by entering such a crappy place as Qiao Mansion! Come to the capital and tell me about it! I’ll pick you up, take you to the palace, and then bring you to the Emperor’s old son’s vault to get some jewelry for you to wear.”
“What? Did I hear wrongly? Is she Imperial Physician Huang’s disciple?” Everyone’s eyes widened in disbelief!
Su Wanwan smacked her lips and said wrongly, “Master, you didn’t tell me that you came to the capital! Why are you still an imperial physician? It’s all your fault! You made me suffer so much outside!”
“Aiyo, hey! I was wrong!” Imperial Physician Huang was Old Monster Huang!
Old Monster Huang rushed over and carefully looked around Su Wanwan. His eyes were filled with heartache. He then glared at Master Qiao and said, “What grievances have you suffered? Tell me, fellow master, I will help you get justice!”
For some reason, Master Qiao felt flustered.
Qiao Nuanyu didn’t know why, but was she just an imperial physician? Their family was a salt merchant! Seeing that Old Monster Huang wanted to speak up for Su Wanwan, he immediately said, “Imperial Physician Huang, your disciple poisoned my food. What justice do you need to do for her? Shouldn’t you apologize?”
Apologize? Impossible! How could his disciple have done something wrong? Old Monster Huang said coldly, “Humph! I can see that you are not a nice girl. You are usually very angry! That gaze is not clean, so you must be very careful! It’s good that you don’t harm my disciple. How dare you say that my disciple is like you? Don’t you look at my disciple’s beauty and spiritual energy …”
Old Monster Huang praised Su Wanwan. Su Wanwan blushed a little no matter how thick her skin was. “Master! What nonsense are you talking about? Although Miss Qiao is domineering and can hit people, she is still Miss Qiao. You should give her some face!”
Everyone couldn’t help but pinch their sweat when they heard these two disciples singing.
Master Qiao didn’t dare to disbelieve Imperial Physician Huang, but he was still very skeptical about Su Wanwan. After thinking for a while, he said, “Imperial Physician Huang, I’ve always watched this little girl grow up. She’s actually not the kind of person you said she was. You …”
“Master Qiao! Since you’re suspicious, why don’t you use silver needles to test the poison? Don’t you know who’s real and who’s fake?” Su Wanwan raised her eyebrows.
“Hmph! Good! Don’t regret it! I’ve already given you face!” After saying that, Master Qiao walked over and picked up the silver needles that the servant had passed over to test the poison.
Old Monster Huang also walked over and said, “Since you want to try, I also want to try!”
Isn’t it good to try alone? Master Qiao sneered in his heart. He didn’t have that much respect for Old Monster Huang anymore.
The moment the two of them pulled out the silver needle, he was shocked. The silver needle in his hand was black at one end! The silver needle in Old Monster Huang’s hand did not change at all!
What exactly was going on?
Seeing this, Su Wanwan seemed to have expected it long ago. She said indifferently, “Master, this milkshake is now solid. I didn’t put any poison on it. Suddenly, there was a side that was poisoned. It can only be said that someone put poison in it, but it wasn’t stirred!”
“Exactly!” Old Monster Huang nodded and looked at Qiao Nuanyu. “Are you jealous that my disciple is prettier than you and wants to frame her?”
“This … I didn’t!” As Qiao Nuanyu spoke, her eyes lowered slightly, covering the hatred in her eyes.
“Then what exactly is going on?” Old Monster Huang said as he stared straight at Qiao Nuanyu.
“Father!” Qiao Nuanyu immediately ran to Master Qiao’s side and said, “You have to believe me!” That’s what I want to eat. Why would I put poison in it? There is only one possibility, that is, Imperial Physician Huang’s disciple poisoned me and even set me up! Father, his disciple’s character is not very good. How good can he be? Let’s not let him treat mother’s illness! What should I do if my mother’s illness gets worse! ”
“…”
Qiao Nuanyu’s imagination is really rich! Su Wanwan wanted to give her a compliment!
Master Qiao felt that what Qiao Nuanyu said was very correct. He nodded and said, “Imperial Physician Huang, I won’t be bothered anymore. You two can leave now.”
“Humph! Of course I have to leave, but I have to prove my good disciple’s innocence before I leave!” Old Monster Huang raised his head and suddenly took out a silver needle to stab Qiao Nuanyu’s personal maidservant, Zhen’er, in the face. The maidservant was shocked and immediately raised her hand to cover her face. However, she did not feel any pain. So Old Monster Huang did not intentionally stab her!
Jen-er lowered her head and suddenly her face turned pale. The poison she was hiding at her sleeve fell out!
“Qiao Fu, this maidservant belongs to your daughter. The poison inside matches the medicine in the bowl. It wasn’t your daughter who framed my disciple. Besides, the poisonous side of the bowl was eaten, but your daughter hasn’t been poisoned yet. What does that mean?” Old Monster Huang glared coldly at Master Qiao and pulled Su Wanwan to his side. “You actually want to kill my disciple? Now you must give me an explanation!”
