The Thirty-Eighth Hexagram: Hsiao Chih

  Chen Jinxin was seriously ill. Old Lady Song sent a name card to invite Dr. Sun to come and see her. Dr. Sun's face was solemn, his complexion not looking good at all.

  Mrs. Song still thought Chen Jin-xin was beyond cure, and her heart was filled with sighs. With the affection she had for Mrs. Su and Su Yun-xi, she frowned at Dr. Sun: "You're also an old man from the Imperial Hospital, always saying you're a reincarnation of Hua Tuo, are you just fooling us? This young girl is only thirteen years old, her father is a famous general who fought against the Japanese invaders, what do you mean by being so evasive?"

  Sun Taichang stroked his beard with a worried expression and stood for half a day, feeling like his whole body was on fire.

  He looked at the little girl sitting next to Old Lady Song and the servants with a difficult expression, sighed and said solemnly: "Please ask the old lady to withdraw the attendants."

  Song Chuyi knew that the next words were not suitable for her to hear, so she smiled and stood up: "Grandmother, Eldest Aunt said that tomorrow night's banquet will have wrapped fillings longevity character snowflake cake, I'll go take a look at what it looks like at Big Sister-in-law's place."

  Mrs. Song nodded and waited until most of the people in the house had retreated before turning to Dr. Sun with a raised eyebrow: "Is there something wrong?"

  "Old lady, I have been treating illnesses for the mansion for twenty years now, and since the day I entered the Tai Hospital, I have been walking in and out of the mansion frequently. If this matter were to happen in someone else's household, I would turn around and leave immediately. But it just so happens that I've encountered you, and I must tell you the truth."

  Mrs. Song fell silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Very well."

  "This young girl... has just had a miscarriage..." Dr. Sun narrowed his eyes, gritted his teeth and continued: "After the miscarriage, her body was already weak, and she fell into the lake and got a chill all over her body. Even if she recovers from her illness later on, it's likely to be difficult for her to have children in the future."

  Old Lady Song's eyes widened in incredulity, and her normally kind face suddenly turned furious. She glared at Dr. Sun: "What nonsense are you spouting! She is a..."

  But reason also told her that Dr. Sun was telling the truth, and Dr. Sun had no reason to talk nonsense.

  She felt her mind was a bit confused, and it took her a long time to calm down before waving her hand at Dr. Sun and sighing: "I understand, you try your best to help her recover. This matter must not be spoken of outside, Old Lady Su sacrificed her life to protect this granddaughter, so just consider it as doing it for her sake."

  This is to tell Dr. Sun that this girl is not a daughter of the Song family, but rather a member of the Su family. The Songs are simply fulfilling their obligations by taking care of the orphaned child of the late Minister Su on behalf of Old Lady Su.

  Sun Taizhen knew the pros and cons, wiped a handful of cold sweat from his forehead, and nodded like a drumstick.

  Mrs. Song calmed down for a moment and ordered the maid Huang who was standing behind her, "Go and ask Chen's nurse to come over."

  Song Chuyi was right, Chen Jinxin had several old men by her side, all of whom were people who used to serve beside Old Lady Su, and Old Lady Song had seen them a few times.

  Chen Jin-xin's wet nurse quickly arrived, as soon as she came in she knelt down on the ground, not daring to look up, and respectfully kowtowed three times to Old Lady Song.

  "Since you've entrusted her to me, I'll definitely get to the bottom of this." Old Lady Song looked at the woman kneeling on the ground, who was not yet forty years old, and said, "Speak up, what's going on?"

  The woman's face showed a struggling expression, looking at Chen Jin Xin who was lying behind Song old lady with a pale face, her eyes were filled with tears. She gave Song old lady three loud kowtows again: "Old lady, your vision is sharp, our old lady said that giving the girl to you is absolutely right, now it seems that she really has foresight."

  Song old lady finally understood why Su old lady chose only herself, also, the emotional debt of Princess Zhen Nan was not enough to let Chen Jin Xin handle these trivial matters, and He Shi was not necessarily reliable either.

  "Mrs. Song, don't think that our girl is immoral..." She couldn't help but burst into tears: "Our girl is also a pitiful person, she was forced! The child... the child is our young master's... he used violence, our girl was young and ignorant, she didn't understand anything, by the time you found out, old lady, it was already too late..."

  Mrs. Song was shocked beyond words.

  Her hand was resting on the armrest of the wheelchair beside her, and she thought she had misheard.

  But Chen's wet nurse immediately threw out another bombshell: "The old lady and the big lady had a fight, and the big lady didn't say anything wrong about the young master, but instead she scolded our girl for a while, saying she was a fox spirit, saying she seduced people...... Our girl was so angry that she almost died. Later, she even wanted to send our girl to be someone's concubine......"

  After all, she is the orphan of a loyal minister and martyr! Madame Su is still Chen's aunt, how can she be so ruthless.

  Mrs. Song narrowed her eyes, took a glance at Chen Jin-xin who was almost weak and unable to dress himself behind her, and suddenly felt a pang of sadness from the bottom of her heart. If Lin Cang had gone, Ming Zhi would also be treated like this...... She simply dared not imagine such a scene.

  The wet nurse kept kowtowing to Old Lady Song, her voice hoarse and worn: "Originally we wanted to hide it from you and not tell you, but our old lady said to tell you the truth. She said you're different from others... Old Lady Song, please have mercy on us, our master's wife only has this one lonely daughter left in the world, she's had a really hard life... These things are really beyond her control..."

  "I know." Old Lady Song waved her hand, indicating for her to get up. She turned around and felt Chen Jin Xin's forehead with the back of her hand, sighing: "What does this have to do with her? Why should I blame her? Is it that in this world, regardless of right or wrong, women are always treated unfairly?! In my eyes, she is just like my own granddaughters, pure and clean without any difference!"

  The young woman did not expect Old Lady Song to have such thoughts, and she felt a surge of heat in her eyes, with tears flowing out like cut threads.

  Mrs. Song made a prompt decision, thought for a moment and said: "The Spring Festival is approaching, your young lady is ill and can't move around, so let's just spend the New Year in this east wing room. We'll choose another place to live when the weather gets warmer. I'll assign a few more people to serve you here, you're still in charge of your young lady's affairs, and when they come, you'll take care of them as usual. By the way, what's your name?

  "Slave three Niang, thank you old lady!" Three Niang thudded to her knees again, looking up at the old lady with sincerity: "Our old lady said that what she wants to tell you is all in that red lacquer wooden box with gold trim."
