251 I Can Do More Things Now!
As the old consort lay on the bed, she cried until her voice was hoarse. Mrs. Zuo, who had just been pulled away by Bai Guo and the others, finally squeezed over. She went to the bed to protect her master and turned to explain to Lin Suisui sincerely, “Madam, what the consort said is true.
All these years, the consort has been suppressed by the general’s wife!
Although Duke Huai Yang’s ministry sounds prestigious, who in our residence can really support the consort and the princess?!
The wife of the general who stabilizes the north is so prominent. How can we afford to offend her?!
!!
The injury on the consort’s face is still there!
Despite the consort’s old age, didn’t the general’s wife still hit her?! It’s common for the consort to be beaten by Madam Pei in public!
If the consort had any way, she wouldn’t have let Madam Pei bully her like this!”
As Mrs. Zuo spoke, she hugged the old consort, who couldn’t stop crying, and shed tears. Lin Suisui, who was beside them, didn’t feel any pity when she saw their attitude. Instead, she was so angry that she laughed.
“Alright, since you said that you had no choice but to swallow your anger and let Pei Zhaoyue bully you, I’ll give you a chance to turn things around now. Consort, are you willing to give it a try?!”
Didn’t they say that they had no choice previously? Then, she would give them a chance now and see what this old witch had to say!
“Madam, the consort is already so sick that she can’t get up. Why do you have to be so aggressive?”
Mrs. Zuo clearly didn’t expect Lin Suisui to say such a thing. She froze for a long time before she reluctantly turned to look at Lin Suisui and said with a pleading expression, “In terms of age, the consort is like your elder. On account of the fact that she’s old, weak, lonely, and has no one to rely on, please forgive her!
When the doctor came over yesterday, he already said that the consort can’t last much longer. Aren’t you forcing her to her death now?”
“Ha, she was full of vigor when she harmed people. Now, I’m giving you guys a chance to redeem yourselves, but you’re so timid! Force her to her death? Why didn’t she die a few days ago when she did evil?!
If you had this self-awareness earlier and killed yourself in front of Pei Zhaoyue previously, I would have admired your righteousness!
But now, even if you want to die, you have to hold on for me. You can die after this matter is done!
Otherwise, how about I give you double the punishment Pei Zhaoyue will give you?!”
Lin Suisui didn’t fall for her tricks at all.
Saying that she was weak and in ill health was just a way to escape punishment!
“Someone, help dress the consort! Let’s accompany her to the general’s residence!” Lin Suisui turned around and sat on a round chair at the side. She watched as Bai Guo brought people forward and dragged the consort out of the bed.
Ignoring her screams and protests, they pressed her down in front of the dressing table.
After dressing up, although her face still looked a little sallow and ugly, she was finally presentable.
Lin Suisui sized her up, but she was still a little dissatisfied. She turned to look at Mrs. Zuo. “Mrs. Zuo, you don’t want the consort to see Pei Zhaoyue in such a depressed state, right?!
I’m a benevolent person. I’m here to avenge the consort!
Go and help your master dress up to look more imposing. Don’t let her look like she hasn’t eaten for a few days!”
No matter how unwilling she was, Nanny Zuo could only get up and go over. She helped the old lady tidy up with great difficulty, but Lin Suisui didn’t forget to remind her meaningfully, “Nanny Zuo, I think you’re a smart person!
I heard from my husband that servants like you, who have relied on the family for your entire lives, have always been more farsighted than high and mighty masters when it comes to seeking benefits and avoiding harm!
The old consort is acting stubborn now. Help me persuade her. If you don’t have the ability, don’t be a fence-sitter. If you’re not careful, you might get implicated as well!”
After saying that, Lin Suisui didn’t want to stay any longer. She left two people to stay behind to watch while she turned around and returned to the carriage with Bai Guo and the others.
Seeing her come in, Lu Ze looked up from the file in his hand and smiled at her. “How is it? Have you arranged everything already?”
“It’s done.” Lin Suisui nodded and sat down beside Lu Ze. After she took the teacup Lu Ze handed her and drank a cup, she handed over the teacup in her hand with yearning. “I want more.”
“Duke Huai Yang’s mother has always bullied the weak and feared the strong. After you make this trip, she probably won’t dare to cause trouble again!” Lu Ze picked up the teapot and handed Lin Suisui half a cup of tea. “However, Duke Huai Yang’s ministry has some old troops stationed in the north.
This is also a hidden danger left behind by the previous emperor! After all, they were all generals who had accompanied the previous emperor in his conquest. The power he gave their families has already become the greatest threat to our border!
“I plan to use the opportunity to completely eradicate them!”
Lu Ze revealed his subsequent plans and arrangements to Lin Suisui. “So, things will be hard on you during this period of time.”
“I know what the big picture is. Although I can’t punish the consort now, I have ways to torture her! Doesn’t she like to bully the weak? I’ll bring her to Pei Zhaoyue today.
After this matter is over, I’ll send her and Pei Zhaoyue to a courtyard to cultivate!”
Lin Suisui shook her head and smiled at Lu Ze. “I’ve thought about it these past few days. I can’t just be a doctor like before!
In that case, there are some things I have to learn!
Perhaps I won’t be thorough enough at first, but with you around, I can ask you!”
“Yes, you can ask me anything. I’ll tell you everything you want to know.” Lin Suisui’s words were ambiguous, but Lu Ze still understood the deeper meaning behind her words. The look in his eyes was very gentle as he said with a smile, “Besides, if you don’t want to interfere, it’s fine. I’ll help you deal with it!
If you want to open a medical center, you can do whatever you want!
I—”
“I know what you mean, but I’m an adult, not a child! Children can be unrestrained and willful! But I’m not a child!” Lin Suisui raised her hand to cover Lu Ze’s mouth and interrupted his unfinished advice. “Don’t worry, I’m not pressuring myself! Instead, I realized that I can do more things now!”
