Su Qian raised her head and looked at the plaque at the entrance of the mansion with the words ‘Kang Residence’ written in calligraphy. This must be the residence of Deputy City Master Kang Yuchen.
At this moment, a few people who looked like doctors carrying medicine boxes hurried out of the house. When they came out, they were all covered in cold sweat and their faces were pale. Those who did not know better would think that they had encountered some kind of ferocious beast in the mansion that was why they were so frightened.
“Miss Su, don’t mind it, my master and madam have been married for twenty years and are deeply in love. This time the madam suddenly fell ill, no matter how many doctors he has invited, it has been of no use, my master is just a little anxious,” Steward Zhou said with a smile.
Su Qian nodded to show her understanding. She also had a certain understanding of the Deputy City Master. The Deputy City Master’s beloved wife had always been weak and suddenly fell ill this time. He had already invited many doctors to treat her, but they had not been able to treat her. That was why Xiao Yan had brought her here.
Steward Zhou invited the two of them into the residence and they went all the way to the inner courtyard, where Madam lived.
Before they entered, Su Qian heard a woman’s charming voice coming from behind the door, “Deputy City Master, don’t worry. Master Li has only temporarily delayed Madam’s illness. He still has an elixir that his master gave him. I guarantee that after he gives it to your wife, she will be cured.”
Xiao Yan coldly swept Steward Zhou a glance, “What’s going on here?”
“Reporting to Your Highness, it’s, it’s the young lady of the Ximen family. She just brought a physician over and said that she would help treat Madam no matter what. Master couldn’t refuse, so…” Steward Zhou lowered his head awkwardly, not daring to meet Xiao Yan’s cold gaze, “It’s all my fault for not arranging properly. If Your Highness doesn’t mind, then please have Your Highness and Miss follow me down to have some tea. After we finish drinking tea, we should be done here.”
“There’s no need. Madam’s illness is urgent and cannot be delayed.” After saying this, Su Qian raised her hand and pushed open the door.
The door creaked open and Su Qian realized that everyone in the room was looking at her. One of the women and a middle-aged man carrying a medicine box looked at her with displeasure.
Su Qian calmly turned around and pushed Xiao Yan in with a faint smile.
At this moment, the elegant man sitting by the bed stood up and walked over to Xiao Yan. “Greetings, Your Highness.”
Ximen Ran also saw Xiao Yan, but she only smiled coldly, clearly looking down on Xiao Yan. She couldn’t even be bothered to be perfunctory, let alone bow.
“Please rise.” Xiao Yan looked at Kang Yuchen indifferently, “Deputy City Master, I’ve brought the person for you. However, it seems that your place seems to be more lively than I thought.”
Kang Yuchen was nervous in his heart, but he smiled politely. “Master Ximen specially sent Miss Ximen to bring a physician to treat my wife, so…”
“It’s fine. Deputy City Master can’t reject the Ximen family’s good intentions, it’s normal,” Xiao Yan said lightly, the smile on his lips still harmless.
However, the more indifferent Xiao Yan was, the more afraid Kang Yuchen was. He didn’t understand what His Highness meant. Was he angry?
But looking at Xiao Yan’s expression again, Kang Yuchen couldn’t tell anything. He was surprised that he had only spoken a few words with him and was already covered in a layer of cold sweat.
Unlike the others, Kang Yuchen knew Xiao Yan’s identity very well, so he didn’t dare to be impudent. He quickly signaled Ximen Ran and the others with his eyes, indicating for them to kneel and pay their respects..
