C8 He Confronted Her Face to Face
Doctor Xue had suffered internal injuries after being kicked by her. Now that he had been killed, he didn't have the time to feel sorry for himself. He grabbed the box and pulled it open.
"Miss." Dou Dou said with a sobbing tone, "We... you..."
Lin Suiyue's smile was a little distant, "It's okay. He won't do anything to us."
Although Dou Dou felt surprised, he did not have much to ask. He could only nod his head and look at Lin Suiyue's lacerated wounds. Tears rolled down his face.
Until the afternoon of the next day, when Lin Suiyue woke up from the bed, she saw Imperial Physician Xue who had dark circles under his eyes packing his medical kit. He instructed in a low voice. "All the bamboo strips in the wound have been picked out. The sutures have also been completed. I will prescribe a few more medicines. Madam will take them on time."
Lin Suiyue said apologetically, "I offended the doctor last night."
Imperial Physician Xue waved his hand politely and did not say much. He gave a few reminders and left in a hurry.
Lin Suiyue remembered her agreement with Nan Ang. She wanted to strike while the iron was hot. If she delayed it for too long, she could not guarantee that Nan Ang's ever-changing thoughts would cause trouble. She did not care about Beans stopping her. She put on her loose clothes to avoid the pain and went to the Cauldron Book Pavilion.
There was a sumptuous food arranged outside the pavilion. Lin Suiyue could smell the food from afar. As soon as she stepped into the outer room of the study, her stomach began to gurgle. She did not care about anything else and directly sat at the table, wolfing down the food, drinking tea, and eating meat.
"Master, the person is here." A clank came from the Cabinet.
Lin Suiyue coldly glanced at him. In the Cabinet, Nan Ang was sitting in front of his desk, writing something. The servant lowered his head and reported.
Nan Ang lowered his eyes silently, as if he was waiting for her to finish her meal. After a long time, when Lin Suiyue finished her meal and sat at the table drinking tea, he put down his pen and did not waste his breath. "Do you know you are wrong?"
Lin Suiyue was slightly stunned. He did not mention the deal last night nor Lin Hua. He suddenly asked this question. After pondering for a moment, she replied, "I admit that I was wrong when I hit Imperial Physician Xue."
"Are you not wrong about Yan?" Nan Ang looked at her indifferently. His eyes had a cold and icy feeling.
Lin Suiyue shook her head, "Yes, she should be beaten."
She was still so undisciplined.
Nan Ang's handsome face was slightly cold, "You have to recognize this mistake. Making a deal is to get what you need. This first step of cooperation, if you don't cooperate, can you still be trusted?"
Lin Suiyue did not expect him to say this. For a moment, she was stunned on the spot. He really had such intentions towards Huayan. He did not hesitate to use the deal as an excuse to make her pay a visit to apologize.
After a long time, she smiled, "Since milord has already said so, I have nothing else to say. I will go."
Nan Ang did not show any expression on his calm face. He only turned his head lightly and said to Yun Dao, "Without rules, you will not be able to do anything. You cannot mess with the etiquette of the manor. The entire manor has always been managed by Yan. You should leave the punishment to Yan. Take her away."
Yun Dao nodded and came in front of Lin Suiyue, "Madam, please."
Lin Suiyue did not say anything. She pressed her butt under the support of beans and followed Yun Dao to Huayan's boudoir.
Huayan's boudoir was also known as Minghua Pavilion. It was very spacious. There were many fake mountains, flowers, birds, and small bridges.
Lin Suiyue was a smart person. Nan Ang's meaning was very clear. He wanted her to lower her head in front of Huayan. He wanted to give Huayan a way out. If she refused to apologize, the situation would be in a deadlock. She would not be in a good position either. It would be difficult for her to gain a foothold in the mansion.
Yun Dao nodded slightly and quickly left.
Only Lin Suiyue and Dou Dou were left standing in front of Huayan's boudoir. The courtyard was full of falling flowers and the stone steps had a slight bit of moss which brought with it wetness.
"Madam." Dou Dou pulled Lin Suiyue's hand and lightly called out, "What should we do?"
"Wait." Lin Suiyue made up her mind.
The wind was cold at night. Master and servant stood quietly outside Huayan's bed. They stood for the whole night.
Huayan seemed to be in the middle of an afternoon nap but was woken up by Maidservant's happy voice, "Madam, Madam, look who is outside the yard."
"Your tongue is already uncomfortable, what are you making a fuss about?" Huayan woke up from the bed slightly annoyed and saw a room full of smiling Maidservant, "Madam, Madam Anxuan is outside. It is said that the lord asked her to come and apologize to Madam."
When Huayan heard these words, she was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, her unruly brows opened and her smile slowly dispersed. After she was dressed, she opened the door under the escort of Maidservant. In the wet courtyard, Lin Suiyue and Bean were staring at the thick dark circles under their eyes.
Huayan's eyes were filled with pride and coldness. "Sister came to apologize to me so early. Sister is really flattered."
Lin Suiyue laughed dryly, "Lord doted on sister and ordered Anxuan to apologize. Yesterday Anxuan was too impulsive and wronged you."
Huayan changed into a white sparrow dress and smiled sweetly. She walked around Lin Suiyue who was in a sorry state. Looking at the blood on her butt, she immediately laughed, "Apologizing is not to stand and compensate but to kneel and compensate."
The last few words made her gnash her teeth.
Dou noticed that the situation was not good and fell to the ground, attracting everyone's attention, "Madam Huayan, please spare my wife. It's all Dou's fault. It was Dou who lured Madam out of the house and broke the prohibition rule. It's all Dou's fault."
She cried and hugged Huayan's feet, "I beg Madam Huayan to spare my wife. Dou Dou is willing to do anything."
"Get lost, dirty things!" Huayan felt disgusted and lifted her foot to kick Beans shoulder heavily, "How did she treat me yesterday? Today I will repay her with her kindness!"
Dou Dou was welcomed by Maidservant who grabbed her hair and pressed it to the ground. Maidservant and the others usually accumulated a lot of resentment but now they had an outlet to vent it. Each and every one of them laughed in excitement and viciousness. They pulled off their hairpins and took the opportunity to stab Dou Dou's body.
Wails sounded and stimulated Lin Suiyue's cerebral cortex. Her voice was calm and there were no ripples, but her expression was very serious, "Did you forget what I told older sister yesterday? Confucianism will only damage Big Sister's image."
Huayan's bright and beautiful face turned serious. Lin Suiyue's words last night were like a sharp knife stabbing into her heart. When did she not think about it? It was just that after she went to look for adults, her heart settled down.
She did not make a big fuss when she married the lord. It was just that the relationship between the two was natural. If she really got married, she would become the main wife. At this time, it was inappropriate for her to marry an adult, and she would probably be suspected of forming a party.
If today's matter were to spread to the adult, it would indeed have an impact on her. Her beautiful image that she had been running for many years would be destroyed.
She took a deep breath and waved her hand, saying, "All of you, stop."
When the Maidservant heard the sound, they all retreated. Beans trembled as they crawled to Lin Suiyue's feet and hid behind her.
