Chapter 700 Chapter 700
As the nanny who was in charge came in, the aunt and niece stopped talking quickly. It was old Mrs. Xiao who grabbed Xiao Yinxiu, gave her a few words of advice, then pushed her away and pretended to beat and scold her.
Xiao Yinxiu fell to her knees, bowed her head and begged for mercy. No one would have thought that she was the prince's wife.
After they left the small Buddhist temple and walked to a secluded place, Doctor Zhao looked back at the disguised woman with a helpless expression, "Madam, if the Lord and the Prince knew about what happened today, my job would be over."
Xiao Yinxiu raised her head, revealing a face that was completely different from that of a maid.
"Doctor Zhao, don't worry. I won't embarrass you in the future."
Doctor Zhao's face was filled with embarrassment, and he didn't know whether it was because of anger or embarrassment, but his face turned red. He said in a hoarse voice, "Madam, thank you very much."
After saying that, he was about to leave with his medicine box.
"Doctor Zhao——"
Xiao Yinxiu stopped him, "...I know that Doctor Zhao already has a wife at home, but Aunt Chu is not very old--"
Doctor Zhao retreated again and again.
His face was filled with shame, "Madam, please don't mention such embarrassing things. It's best if I forget about it."
Shame?
Xiao Yinxiu took a half step forward, "Aunt Chu is only in her forties and has been a widow for many years. Now that you have had physical contact with her, are you really going to just abandon her like that?"
Doctor Zhao closed his eyes, filled with disappointment.
He turned around, lowered his voice, and said truthfully, "I am just a commoner, and I am already a grandfather. Can I marry an old concubine?"
At this point, Doctor Zhao's face was filled with regret.
"Madam, what you did was just to control me. Why are you forcing me to give an explanation now?"
Xiao Yinxiu finally felt guilty.
"After all, a day of marriage is a hundred days of grace..."
Doctor Zhao stepped back three steps and said, "What happened today has already violated the trust of the lord, and the lady has got what she wanted, so please don't embarrass me any further."
After saying that, he picked up the medicine box and turned away.
Three days later, Doctor Zhao finally resigned from his position to the Crown Prince.
Pei Chen was full of doubts. "You have been in the mansion for several years. Now that everything is fine, why do you want to go back?"
Doctor Zhao bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord, for your pity on me and for giving me a bite to eat. My wife is still in my hometown. She sent someone to bring a message a few days ago saying that she was not feeling well. I thought that after wandering around for so many years, it was time for me to return home."
After saying many more words that betrayed the government, Pei Chen could only sigh and said, "Forget it, Doctor Zhao, if you insist on going, I won't force you to stay."
Pei Hai was not at home, so he sent someone to invite the accountant.
After paying the monthly allowance, Pei Chen showed extra kindness by giving two sets of clothes, two pieces of blue cloth, and ten taels of silver, which was considered as the employer's full favor.
After Doctor Zhao left, the news reached Shaohua Garden.
Song Guanzhou happened to be chatting privately with Xu Lingqiao who had just returned. The two sisters were very happy. Xu Lingqiao talked about the scenery and cultural characteristics along the way.
Song Guanzhou was filled with longing after hearing this.
Xu Lingqiao thought for a moment and was about to tell her about his encounter with Mu Yunzhi when He Hua ran in from outside. Fortunately, she still remembered the etiquette that Ren Dong had taught her, so she went to the door of the main room, concentrated her mind, and walked into the house slowly.
But when she saw Song Guanzhou, she couldn't help herself and said hurriedly, "Madam, don't you think it's strange that Doctor Zhao suddenly resigned and said he wanted to go back to his hometown."
Ok?
Xu Lingqiao was a little confused when she heard this.
"He's just a doctor, so he'll go if he wants to. Why would you tell your wife about such a trivial matter?"
The lotus spoke slowly and I didn’t know how to respond for a moment.
It was Song Guanzhou who held his cousin's fair and white hand and said, "Sister, you don't know, Doctor Zhao did something extraordinary a few days ago. He was originally thinking that he was enjoying his old age, but why is he leaving the mansion today?"
To be honest, Doctor Zhao would find it difficult to find a second place where life is better than here in the government office.
"It's a big deal. Doctor Zhao seems to be gentle and polite on weekdays. Could it be that -"
Before Xu Lingqiao could guess, Rendong also came in from outside, shouted "What a sin", and then came to the two masters.
Song Guanzhou was full of curiosity, "Ren Dong, what did you encounter again?"
Honeysuckle waved her hands repeatedly.
"Madam, cousin, you two don't know that I just came back from Biluozhai. I was ordered by Madam to deliver some silk cloth and books to Madam, but I never thought that I would see such an eye-catching thing when I came back!"
Ok?
After hearing that it was offensive to the eyes, Xu Lingqiao dared not to look at it any longer.
On the contrary, Song Guanzhou rubbed his hands and smiled, "Tell me quickly, I'm curious."
Ren Dong took the tea handed to her by He Hua and just took a sip when He Hua suddenly said, "Sister Dong, do you know that Doctor Zhao has resigned and said he will leave the mansion tomorrow?"
After taking a big gulp of tea, Honeysuckle waved his hands repeatedly.
"Young Madam, this is what I am talking about."
uh-huh?
Song Guanzhou listened attentively. Rendong did not hide anything and told him everything in a hoarse voice. When Xu Lingqiao heard it, her face turned red with shame.
"This... Aunt Chu in front of the Crown Prince's wife?"
She looked at Ren Dong with disbelief, and Ren Dong nodded repeatedly, "My cousin, you don't know that Aunt Chu was holding Doctor Zhao's wrist tightly. She was in the alley next to the back house, and the bushes were deep. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have seen it."
She had just come down from the porch and had walked a few steps when she heard some noise. She became curious and took a small path to follow the sound.
Who would have thought that I would see Aunt Chu grabbing Doctor Zhao and trying to change his clothes and throw a tantrum?
Xu Lingqiao didn't dare to listen and turned her head to look outside the window.
Song Guanzhou frowned, "These two are really clueless. Can't they just find a room together? They insist on being a pair of idiots."
Ren Dong shook her head, "Young Madam, you don't know that Doctor Zhao seemed to be unwilling to obey and said some unpleasant words. Aunt Chu burst into tears when she heard it."
Huh?
Xu Lingqiao looked out the window and was also attracted.
Honeysuckle followed suit, comparing Lotus to Doctor Zhao, and pretending to be Aunt Chu. She grabbed Lotus's belt and said like Aunt Chu, "My enemy, are you really abandoning me by leaving like this?"
Doctor Zhao said, "You old bitch, you have harmed me. Now I have no face to stay in the mansion. Are you still not satisfied?"
As soon as the word "satisfied" came out, Aunt Chu burst into tears.
"My dear, what you said chills my heart. I was in love with you, and I wanted to live together forever. But now you don't care about me. Aren't you asking me to die?"
Aunt Chu grabbed his belt tightly and refused to let go.
Doctor Zhao pushed the woman who was clinging to him a few times but failed to get rid of her.
In a panic, she said something she didn't want to talk to. "You've always been a lowly person, and you've been a widow for a few years, and you can't get a man to live with you, but you've set your sights on me. I just had a small accident, so I'll just accept the misfortune. Why do you keep pestering me?"
Aunt Chu almost wanted to kneel down, "You took my body, are you going to leave like this?"
