Chapter 135: Half Brother Mu Minghao
Zuo Si, the spokesperson for the miracle doctor, had a baby-like face and said to them in a serious manner, "The miracle doctor's consultations are clearly marked with prices, and they are fair to everyone! If you don't believe me, you can go ask Mr. Bai and Mr. Huang."
Seeing that these servants were still gathered in one place with no intention of moving, Zuo Si gave them a strong warning: "You go in now, maybe you can ask Mr. Huang and Mr. Bai in person. The Master Divine Doctor has been very busy recently and has no time to deal with you. If you really want to see the Master Divine Doctor, prepare some gold and go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to make an appointment. First come, first served."
Humph, who told your master to plot against my mistress behind her back? Haha, now the male master poisons (produced by Medicine King Valley, it must be a top-quality product! Of course, compared with the female master's poison, it is a little worse), and the female master detoxifies and earns gold!
What a lucrative industry chain! The masters and mistresses are wise!
"Prime Minister's Mansion?" Several servants looked at each other in bewilderment. Could this miracle doctor come from the Prime Minister's Mansion? If so, then it would be difficult to use force.
"The prime minister's distant nephew has been living in the prime minister's residence recently. You must hurry up and make an appointment for a consultation! The miracle doctor only sees one patient a day and will not wait for any later patients!" Zuo Si explained kindly.
Humph, it’s better to let you two fight each other and get your mouths full of fur!
Seeing that there was no hope of snatching the person away, several waves of people ran towards the lobby of Anqi Hall.
Maybe I could stop Mr. Huang and Mr. Bai in the lobby and ask them about the miracle doctor.
For them whose monthly salary was only two taels of silver at most, let alone a consultation fee of ten thousand taels of gold, even ten thousand taels of silver - that was a sky-high price!
They really couldn't believe the price quoted by Zuo Si, so they wanted to go to Huang Baiyuanwai to find out the details, and then go back to report to their master and let their master make the decision.
Mu Qingqing and her friends had a smooth journey back this time without any accidents.
The carriage stopped by Yuelaiju to pick up Xia He and the others. Along the way, Mu Qingqing introduced them to a delicacy that did not exist in this era - hot pot! Their eyes sparkled and they kept swallowing their saliva.
Not to mention that they were extremely greedy after hearing what she said, Mu Qingqing herself couldn't help swallowing her saliva several times, and she wished she could fly back to the Prime Minister's Mansion immediately and start feasting on the food.
Prime Minister Mu did not have any dinner parties tonight, so after the morning court session he returned home to accompany his lovely wife.
Mu Qingqing returned to the mansion and met her half-brother, Mu Minghao, on the way to find Qin Yao.
On a face that looked 50% like Prime Minister Mu, he bowed and greeted her shyly, "Hello, big sister!"
Mu Qingqing actually doesn't dislike Mu Minghao.
In the original owner's memory, this shy boy had a very positive outlook on life, a miniature of Prime Minister Mu. He was completely different from Aunt Qin and Mu Yingying.
In order to prepare for the imperial examination, he usually lived in Shengshi Academy in the capital.
Occasionally when he returned home, he would always greet Qin Yao politely and often bring some small gifts to the original owner (small gadgets bought with his own monthly salary).
"Well, is it a day off today?" Mu Qingqing thought of Aunt Qin and Mu Yingying who were kicked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and felt that she should explain everything to him to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings.
It all depends on whether he is really as he appeared to be before - with positive values!
If he really is a child with positive values, and looking at his face that looks a bit like mine, I really wouldn't mind taking care of him.
After all, he is also his father's child and has a blood relationship with him.
"In reply to elder sister, the academy will be closed from today until the 16th day of the first lunar month." Mu Minghao answered respectfully facing Mu Qingqing.
"Okay, there is something I need to inform you about. It's about your aunt and your sister." Mu Qingqing looked at him indifferently and said in a calm tone.
Hearing that it was related to his aunt and elder sister, Mu Minghao, who had just returned home, froze for a moment. He bowed to Mu Qingqing again and said seriously, "Please tell me clearly, elder sister."
Mu Qingqing was very satisfied with Mu Minghao's behavior. She patted Mu Minghao's thin shoulder and asked with a gloomy look, "Minghao, some time ago, your elder sister and others tried to murder your elder sister. Your elder sister caught them with evidence. If you were the elder sister, how would you deal with it?"
Mu Minghao's thin body trembled twice. He looked at Mu Qingqing nervously and saw that she was standing in front of him unharmed, so he thought she should be fine.
He heaved a long sigh and said solemnly, "If my sister really committed such a heinous crime, the emperor will be punished just like the common people."
Yes, I was right about that person!
She glanced at Mu Minghao again and said, "Minghao, you know that over the years, your aunt has cheated your elder sister out of a lot of money. I asked her to return all the money she cheated from me. Is that right?"
Mu Minghao straightened his expression and answered righteously: "It is only natural to pay back a debt!"
"Okay! As long as you think this way, I will be at ease." Mu Qingqing patted Mu Minghao's shoulders a few more times, "Let's go, follow me to find mother. For dinner tonight, I will prepare something you have never eaten before..."
Mu Minghao followed Mu Qingqing's footsteps and asked with a somewhat uneasy look, "Big sister, you haven't told me yet how you dealt with my aunt and my sister?"
Mu Qingqing paused, and a wicked smile appeared on her lips: "If I said that I gave them five hundred taels of silver as resettlement allowance and let them fend for themselves outside, would you think I was cold-blooded? And hate me?"
Mu Minghao took a step back in shock and asked in a panic, "Big sister, are you really going to give my aunt and sister to..."
Mu Minghao, who was well-versed in the books of sages, really couldn't bring himself to say something like driving his aunt away.
"Yeah!" Mu Qingqing nodded, indicating that it was true and she didn't lie to her.
Although what he said just now was righteous, he was after all just a 15-year-old boy who had never experienced any major storms. At this moment, he could hardly accept this fact.
Mu Qingqing turned around and faced Mu Minghao. She put her hands on his shoulders and looked at him fiercely: "Minghao, I know it's hard for you to accept this fact. But you have to know that if your sister's conspiracy succeeded this time, your sister might have been thrown into the wild by now, and her body would not be left..."
“How is this possible? How could this happen? How could my sister be so bad?…” Mu Minghou murmured incoherently, her eyes red as she tried hard to hold back her tears.
Mu Qingqing held Mu Minghao in her arms, patted his back gently, and said softly: "Big sister knows that you are very sad now, but big sister does not want to hide it from you, and does not want you to hear the whole story from other people. You are a man, you should have your own judgment. Big sister does not want you to live with us with hatred."
Mu Minghao hugged Mu Qingqing's slender waist and rested his head on her shoulder. Finally, he couldn't control his tears and sobbed softly.
"Okay, cry if you want to. You have me here, and you can come to me if you have any difficulties in the future, okay?" Mu Qingqing turned into a caring elder sister and kept comforting her half-brother.
"Big sister, Minghao, uh, Minghao is really sad. Uh!" Mu Minghao couldn't control his tears and hiccups while crying, "Minghao doesn't know why? Uh! My elder sister wants to harm me, uh, big sister..."
Mu Qingqing continued to pat Mu Minghao's back gently: Hey! Poor kid! Who made you have such a vicious mother and sister!
Mu Qingqing, who was always generous and magnanimous, had ever shown such a gentle side? In order to appease her half-brother today, she was willing to go all out.
