Chapter 164 Making insinuations

Inside Hefengju, the guard was whispering to Madam Xie about the news he had just received.

Doctor Ji was found, and he was slightly injured. Doctor Feng from Xinglin Hall had treated his wounds. This time, Doctor Ji came with his granddaughter Ji Yuyao.

Now Doctor Ji and his grandson were waiting for an audience from Old Madam Xie. As soon as they finished talking, they heard hurried footsteps outside.

Ji Yuyao had already rushed in, followed by her maid Qiuyue who had been trying to stop her.

Upon seeing this, Aunt Zhang couldn't help but frown. The granddaughter of Doctor Ji was becoming more and more unruly.

"Miss Ji, why did you come here so late? Is Doctor Ji in good health?" Nanny Zhang's words had hidden meaning. She was trying to remind Ji Yuyao that she had barged in without notifying the other party.

In the past, when Doctor Ji was treating Si Heng, Ji Yuyao was basically there, assisting Doctor Ji every time.

Because of this relationship, people in the mansion treated Ji Yuyao with some courtesy.

But ever since she found out that Divine Doctor Ji had ulterior motives towards Si Heng, Nanny Zhang could no longer be nice to Divine Doctor Ji and his grandson.

If it weren't for the fact that Old Madam Xie didn't say anything, Nanny Zhang would have had Ji Yuyao kicked out long ago.

The Xie mansion allowed people to break in so easily. It seems that the servants in the mansion should be disciplined.

"Please forgive me, old lady. Grandpa has been settled in Xinglin Hall by Doctor Feng. But he was really worried about Mr. Si's health, so he asked me to come and check on him. Grandpa and I encountered several waves of pursuit along the way, but fortunately Mr. Si's people found us in time. Grandpa said that his injury was not a big deal, but he was afraid that it would delay Mr. Si's treatment."

Ji Yuyao didn't even bother to look at Aunt Zhang. She stood in front of Old Madam Xie and explained her purpose in a calm manner.

His words were meant to remind Madam Xie that Doctor Ji was injured because of Si Heng.

Even though he was injured, the first thing he cared about was Si Heng's health.

Ever since Doctor Ji detoxified Si Heng, Ji Yuyao only smiled when facing Madam Xie and Si Heng.

When dealing with servants like Nanny Zhang, he always acts like the descendant of Divine Doctor Ji.

Doctor Ji praised his granddaughter Ji Yuyao more than once, saying that she had inherited all his skills, but her personality was a little cold, so Madam Xie should not blame her or mind.

Aunt Zhang has such a sharp eye.

Although Ji Yuyao has always looked superior, the look she gave Si Heng contained too much meaning.

But as a servant, I can't say much.

Besides, at that time, Si Heng still had to rely on Doctor Ji to cure the poison in his body. Even if Ji Yuyao's behavior was impolite, the old lady would be more tolerant of her.

Look at the person standing in front of you. From head to toe, it is obvious that he has been carefully dressed.

There was no need to think too much about whether it was Doctor Ji who sent her here or she was just eager to get closer to the young master.

"Dr. Ji is so thoughtful that he bothered Miss Ji to come over so late. But Ah Heng has caught a cold recently and has just rested. Miss Ji must have been exhausted from the long journey. Mingyue, take Miss Ji downstairs to rest."

Madam Xie's expression remained unchanged as she ordered Mingyue to take Ji Yuyao to the guest room.

"Madam, I'm not tired. How about I go see Master Si first? Now that the blood crystal grass has been found, after Grandpa rests for a few days, he can detoxify Master Si."

Ji Yuyao stood there without moving, as if she didn't understand what Madam Xie meant. When she mentioned Si Heng, a light flashed in her eyes.

The smile on Madam Xie's face faded. Not to mention that Qin Ruo had already cured Si Heng of the poison, even if the poison had not been cured, she would never use Doctor Ji and his grandson again.

Qin Ruo has never been a person who likes to fabricate facts out of thin air, and her nephew Si Heng is not stupid either. From Si Heng's attitude, it is clear that it is a foregone conclusion that Doctor Ji has bad intentions.

"Miss Ji, there's no need to rush. Heng'er has already gone to bed, so you can go and rest with Mingyue first." Old Madam Xie's tone was still calm, but there was a hint of impatience in her eyes.

"Miss Ji, please go to bed early. The old lady is also tired. We can talk about it tomorrow." Nanny Zhang couldn't bear it any longer and directly ordered Ji Yuyao to leave.

No matter how unwilling Ji Yuyao was, she had to endure it and leave Hefengju with Mingyue.

Ji Yuyao felt a little unhappy. If she had known that she would not be able to see Si Heng tonight, she would have better stayed at Xinglin Hall to avoid making a wasted trip.

"Is there anyone visiting your house today? I met an unfamiliar girl at the door. Is she the old lady's guest or Mr. Si's guest?"

Ji Yuyao pretended not to care, as if it was just a casual question.

Under normal circumstances, she would never talk to servants like Mingyue.

"Miss Ji, there are indeed guests at the mansion tonight." Mingyue was also one of the maids who served the old lady closely. She naturally knew what to say and what not to say.

Ji Yuyao's words were clearly over the line, but Mingyue was still polite and answered her questions.

"Does that girl come here often? Could she be Mr. Si's friend?" When Qin Ruo got on the carriage, Ji Yuyao only saw her back from a distance.

Just with that one glance from afar, Ji Yuyao felt a sense of crisis.

She had come to Xie's house so many times with Doctor Ji, but had never seen a woman other than herself enter the house.

Firstly, Mrs. Xie likes quietness and never likes socializing.

Secondly, there has never been any other woman around Si Heng, not even the maids serving in the house.

Ji Yuyao has always felt that she is the most unique person in the Xie Mansion.

Qin Ruo's sudden appearance made Ji Yuyao's heart suddenly confused.

When talking to Mingyue, his tone unconsciously became a little sharp.

"Miss Ji, this servant does not know, and I dare not discuss the master's affairs. Why don't you wait until tomorrow to ask the old lady and Mr. Si."

Mingyue's answer was still appropriate. She led Ji Yuyao to the other courtyard of the Xie Mansion which was specially used to entertain guests. After instructing two maids to serve Ji Yuyao, she bowed politely to Ji Yuyao and hurried back to Hefengju.

Ji Yuyao just felt like she had just hit cotton with her punch and didn't get any information out of it. She was very upset.

After Mingyue returned to Hefengju, she reported everything to Old Madam Xie about Ji Yuyao's inquiries about Qin Ruo.

"This Miss Ji really doesn't consider herself an outsider. She's even asking about Ruo'er. Mingyue, you should go to Lingyun Pavilion now and tell Cangjiu to guard Lingyun Pavilion for me. No one can step into Lingyun Pavilion without Heng'er's permission."

Madam Xie's eyes turned cold. After discovering Ji Yuyao's little thoughts, she had clearly expressed her opinion to Doctor Ji in private that Ji Yuyao and Si Heng were not suitable for each other.

After talking to Doctor Ji, Ji Yuyao did restrain herself for a while, but she didn't expect that she could not control herself so soon.

Before finding out the truth, since Ji Yuyao came to me on her own initiative, I might as well keep a close eye on her.
