Chapter 430: Finishing This Act
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Just as Old Mistress Xiang was wavering, Xiang Shule suddenly rushed out of the house. “Grandmother, let her save me. Let her save me!”
When they saw Xiang Shule, Old Mistress Xiang and the others were frightened badly. They quickly asked the maidservants to stop her, but Second Mistress Xiang quickly discovered that Xiang Shule looked different.
The red spots on her face faded a lot!
“Le’er, your… your face! Your face is fine? That wasn’t leprosy at all! It wasn’t leprosy at all!” Second Mistress Xiang called out in surprise.
Xiang Shule said, “It was this young lady who gave me some medicine, and the red spots on my face subsided.”
Su Ying continued, “This medicine can only last for a short period of time. It only makes the patient feel less uncomfortable. If the disease can’t be cured, the red spots will reappear sooner or later.”
Su Ying’s words shattered Second Mistress Xiang’s hopes.
Now that the red spots on Xiang Shule’s face had faded, Old Mistress Xiang completely believed Su Ying’s words.
After weighing the pros and cons, she nodded at Xiang Hualan. “Grandmother originally wanted to carefully preserve those things for you. 1 was afraid that there would be a greedy person near you coveting them. Now that you want to keep them, I will instruct someone to send them to you.”
Xiang Hualan pursed her lips and held back her tears. “Thank you, Grandmother.” She took out the inventory list from the storage room and handed it to Old Mistress Xiang. “Grandmother, please send the items on the list to me. If even one item is missing, I will not feel good.”
Old Mistress Xiang’s eyebrows twitched, but when she thought about how that girl was going to die soon, she told her trusted old nanny to take the list and allowed Xiang Hualan to return to her courtyard first. She would get people to move everything back to the storage room.
As soon as Xiang Hualan and the others left, Old Mistress Xiang’s expression clouded over.
The old nanny looked at the list in her hand and said uncertainly, “Old Mistress, are we really going to send the things back?” She kept feeling that something was wrong. Moreover, it was too coincidental for Second Young Miss to fall sick now.
Old Mistress Xiang still had some doubts, but if she didn’t do as Xiang Hualan requested, she was worried that Xiang Hualan would really leak Xiang Shule’s matter to the public. At that point, would the First Prince still take a liking to Xiang Shule?
“Anyway, the things are still in my Xiang family’s residence. As long as they are in my Xiang family’s premises, they can’t run away. Go. Hurry up and send the things over.”
When the old nanny saw that Old Mistress Xiang had already made a decision, she began gathering the items on the inventory list.
Many of the items had been sent to the houses belonging to Xiang Shule and Second Mistress Xiang. Although they were unwilling, they could only hand over the things obediently at this point.
Old Mistress Xiang moved very quickly. In less than four hours, the things that had been moved away by the Xiang family members were all sent back to the small storage room.
Xiang Hualan looked gratefully at Su Ying as she watched the storage room gradually fill up. She was grateful to Su Ying, not only because her plan had helped her retrieve everything, but also because she had allowed her to see the true colors of those people.
“Eldest Young Miss, I’ve moved all the things on your list here for you. Please see if there’s anything missing. Old Mistress said that if there’s no problem, please ask this Miss Su to treat Second Young Miss as soon as possible.” The old nanny gave the list back to Xiang Hualan with a superficial smile.
Xiang Hualan replied, “Alright. I’ll go with Miss Su after 1 take a look.”
The old nanny nodded slightly and excused herself. However, she still told someone to stand guard outside the door. This was just in case Xiang Hualan changed her mind and refused to fulfill her promise.
Xiang Hualan led Su Ying into the storage room and opened a box. The moment the box was opened, a golden light burst out, and Su Ying was almost blinded by the dazzling light.
“I’m afraid we don’t have that much gold. Do you think these items, plus a box of silver and those jewelry are acceptable?”
Su Ying looked at the jade bangles in the box. They looked like high-quality goods. Xiao Jin told her before that although these things were small and not eye-catching, sometimes a bangle could be worth more than a box of gold.
Su Ying felt that she wouldn’t lose out.
“It’s enough.”
“Send these things directly to my horse carriage.”
“Alright.”
“Then what about the matter of curing the disease…”
Su Ying took into consideration the fact that Xiang Hualan had paid up so readily and decided to treat her better. “It depends on you. Do you want me to finish this act with you or do you want me to just leave?”
“Younger Sister’s face is…” Xiang Hualan asked doubtfully.
“There won’t be any problems after taking the medicine.”
Xiang Hualan furrowed her brows in deep thought. Su Ying wasn’t in a hurry either. She felt that she had done enough for a person she had met by chance. Of course, the main reason was that the other party had paid her enough.
“Finish this act.”
“Sure.”
After Xiang Hualan finished speaking, she turned around and left the room to explain something to the maidservant.
After the maidservant left, she was not in a hurry to go to Xiang Shule’s side. Instead, she wandered around the storage room. Although this was a show for the Xiang family, she really missed her parents in reality. She picked up a jade hairpin, and the image of her mother’s gentle smile flashed in front of her eyes.
“Mother… Lan’er really misses you. If only you and Father were still here, how wonderful that would be…”
Su Ying looked at Xiang Hualan, who was engrossed in her own thoughts, and made an excuse to go to the back courtyard to bring Que Que out. After she woke the girl up, she gave her something to eat.
“Big Sister, where are we?”
“Big Sister met a friend on the way here. We are at her house now. After you finish eating, wait for Big Sister in the house. Big Sister will be back soon, understand?”
Que Que nodded in a daze, but she couldn’t quite remember how she and Su Ying had come to this place.
When Su Ying saw that the sky was almost dark, she made Que Que fall asleep and placed her back into her interspatial store.
Old Mistress Xiang was already impatient from waiting and repeatedly sent people over to urge Xiang Hualan to hurry up.
Xiang Hualan walked out of the storage room. A maidservant walked up to her and whispered a few words before nodding at Xiang Hualan.
Before long, a group of guards appeared outside the storage room and stood guard outside the storage room without saying anything.
“Without my order, no one is allowed to come near the storage room. Anyone who disobeys this order, kill him without exception!” Xiang Hualan’s face was icy, and there was no longer any sorrow on it.
“Yes, Miss.”
As Xiang Hualan walked out, Su Ying also walked back from the corridor.
The two women exchange looks before returning to Xiang Shule’s courtyard.
Old Mistress Xiang reassured her, “Lan’er, don’t worry. This lady Miss Su’s medical skills are excellent. You’ll definitely be fine.”
Second Mistress Xiang also chimed in, “Yes, Lan’er. You’ll definitely be fine. We’ll definitely protect you.”
Xiang Hualan chuckled softly, but her eyes were brimming with chilliness. “Alright.”
The first step in treating Xiang Shule was to get the blood in Xiang Hualan’s heart.
In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Old Mistress Xiang and the others insisted on watching the process of Xiang Hualan’s blood being extracted with their own eyes.
Xiang Hualan nodded at Su Ying.
Su Ying took out a surgical pouch and opened it. Inside was a row of silver needles and scalpels.
Su Ying lowered her eyes and pulled out a scalpel from the pouch before walking over to Xiang Hualan.
“I’m sorry, Miss Xiang..”
