Chapter 261 The wishful thinking collapsed
Chapter 261 The wishful thinking collapsed
Lord Chen in the court was stunned: his wishful thinking had now collapsed!
I really didn't expect that Dr. Mu would do this to me. I had originally thought of writing an IOU and paying it back slowly, then refusing to pay after a while after paying off some of it...
Lord Chen, who wanted to cry but had no tears, slumped weakly in his chair, breathing heavily.
Mrs. Chen, who was in the crowd, saw the dead appearance of Lord Chen in the court, and she felt an indescribable sense of relief in her heart.
Let's see if you will keep talking about Ling'er every day? !
For so many years, she had been bragging to me day after day: Ling'er is gentle and obedient, well-educated, elegant and generous, and kind-hearted?!
I will wait until I enter the palace to pave the way for myself!
Humph! One hundred thousand taels of gold, this is going to hurt you a lot!
Mrs. Chen had a gentle and graceful smile on her face, but she was constantly complaining in her heart.
The resentment that had been weighing on my chest for so many years has finally dissipated!
Lord Zhao is very smooth now, and Lord Chen has just agreed to the conditions proposed by Mu Qingqing.
Lord Zhao then drew up a document, recording the cause, process, and outcome of the incident, as well as the settlement agreement between the two parties, and asked Lord Chen to review and sign them all.
Zuo San cooperated very well and took out two copies of the IOU, walked forward and handed them to Mr. Chen, and also very considerately presented the pen for signature with both hands.
Mr. Chen held the settlement agreement in his left hand and the IOU in his right hand, his hands shaking constantly.
Mr. Chen's name has never been so valuable! One name is worth 100,000 taels of gold!
When he was about to write with the signature pen, he looked up at Lord Zhao and said, "Lord Zhao, can my daughter and my wife be allowed to come out?"
"Of course! As long as Lord Chen signs his name, I will immediately ask Miss Chen and Aunt An to come out." Lord Zhao responded with a smile.
When he turned around, he winked at Mu Qingqing: "How is it? Did I do well today?"
Mu Qingqing raised her eyebrows, picked up the white teacup, and rubbed the lid along the rim of the cup twice: Very good!
At this moment, more and more people were watching outside, all talking about building bridges and roads.
While praising Emperor Tai'an for loving his people like his own children, he was also impressed by Mu Qingqing's selfless and noble character.
More and more people are joining the construction of bridges and roads!
There were many officials, sons of noble families, wealthy businessmen, etc. who came later. After listening to the discussions of the people in front, they all started to make their own plans.
Before the court was dismissed today, the emperor mentioned the matter of road construction after the New Year. The emperor was vague about the specific plan and did not elaborate.
Judging from the way the emperor and the prime minister get along, it is estimated that the emperor has already discussed this with Prime Minister Mu.
Doctor Mu has been living in Prime Minister Mu's residence recently. The matter of building bridges and roads must have been revealed to Doctor Mu by the Prime Minister.
If the people of the capital are donating money to help, how can we officials just stand by and do nothing? !
Several smart officials immediately returned home and wrote memorials to sponsor the construction of bridges and roads, and specifically pointed out that they had taken the initiative to donate the silver.
Chen Ling'er and Aunt An supported each other and walked tremblingly to the lobby.
The moment Chen Ling'er looked up and saw Lord Chen, she burst into tears.
"Father, you are finally here! If you hadn't come, Ling'er would..." Chen Ling'er ran to Lord Chen crying, trying to seek her father's comfort.
"Pa!" Lord Chen gave her a loud slap in the face unexpectedly.
"Father, you..." Chen Ling'er's eyes flickered, her face full of disbelief.
Aunt An's eyes were red, and she took a step forward, then quietly retracted it.
Seeing the master's fierce look that seemed to want to tear Ling'er apart, Aunt An's heart skipped a beat: when she returns to the mansion, she will definitely suffer a lot...
Lord Chen looked at Chen Ling'er, who was one step away from him. Her face looked much worse than before the treatment.
Master Chen's gloomy face became even darker. "Your father has already prepared the consultation fee for you, and Dr. Mu will come to treat you. I have told you clearly that you must follow the prescription! It is just a simple internal and external application, why are you cutting corners?!"
"Father, Ling'er, Ling'er..."
Looking at her father's gloomy and terrifying face, Chen Ling'er collapsed on the ground powerlessly, her ugly face full of dejection and tears of grievance streaming down her face.
Can I tell you that the medicine prescribed by Doctor Mu contains horse urine and mud, which is an inhuman prescription? Doctors outside say that these two things are completely ineffective...
"Oh, oh, oh" Chen Ling'er had no words to express her pain and could only sit on the ground and cry in grievance.
After all, she was his beloved daughter whom he had doted on for many years. When Lord Chen saw her crying out of breath, his anger slowly subsided.
Looking at her scary little face, he licked his old face and came to Mu Qingqing: "Doctor Mu, look, I have also written this IOU, Ling'er's face..."
Mu Qingqing glanced at Chen Ling'er and said with embarrassment: "Master Chen, it's not that I am unwilling to treat Miss Chen, it's really that I am powerless!"
Mu Qingqing walked up to Chen Ling'er and said helplessly, "Miss Chen, I told you at the beginning that this prescription was something I saw in a rare book. There is only one way, and you must follow the prescription! But Miss Chen didn't follow the prescription, and then her toxicity began to change qualitatively, and I was helpless!"
Oh! Originally, for the sake of ten thousand taels of gold, I'll spare you this time, you gossipy woman! As long as I can vent my anger, I'll be fine.
But you are so smart that you want to turn the tables and blackmail me!
Then you will have to bear this ugly face for the rest of your life!
"Dr. Mu, you..."
Chen Ling'er's face was twisted out of shape due to extreme anger, and with the crisscrossing red marks, she looked extremely hideous at the moment.
"Enough! If you have anything to say, let's talk about it when we get home!" Lord Chen knew that there was no hope of getting medical treatment, so he shouted loudly to stop Chen Ling'er's roar.
Evil girl! Isn't it embarrassing enough?
"Sir Zhao, goodbye!" Sir Chen flicked his sleeves, said something stiffly to Sir Zhao, and hurried out of the hall.
"Master, please come this way." Mrs. Chen appeared in front of Master Chen at the right time and spoke gently.
Lord Chen glanced at the dignified and graceful Madam Chen, then followed her into the carriage.
He didn't even bother to care about Chen Ling'er and her daughter or the yawning housekeeper.
Chen Ling'er watched her father turn around and leave without even leaving her a single glance.
Aunt An beside her no longer pretended to be weak. She stepped forward, helped her up, squeezed through the crowd, and left quickly in shame.
Some people in the crowd disliked the behavior of the mother and daughter and "Pooh" a few times in the direction they left.
"What kind of people are you! You really think you are someone important!" The young man glanced at their hurriedly leaving backs and shouted coldly.
Mu Qingqing watched the two of them leave with a smile, then turned around to comfort the emotional people.
"Thank you all for your trust and support for me! The strength and development of Donglin Country also depends on you. I am happy and proud that there are so many patriotic people in Donglin Country!"
Mu Qingqing looked at the people very seriously, her black and white eyes shining brightly.
"Mu Divine Doctor is so great and virtuous! Mu Divine Doctor is so powerful!"
"Dr. Mu, you are our pride!"
"Mr. Mu, Mr. Mu..."
The crowd that had not dispersed shouted "Mu Divine Doctor" at one point, and the atmosphere reached an unprecedented climax!
