Chapter 10 Review

Foolishness is contagious

The meeting has concluded, and everyone has returned to their respective rooms. Tang Qi walked out of the room in a daze, preparing to head towards the side courtyard, when she was called by the Hua family: "Qing Ye, come here, let Ying Xue arrange a room for you; you will be living here from now on." However, she felt disdain in her heart, thinking that this foolish child truly did not understand what they were saying.

Tang Qi ate by herself, and it is unclear whether she absorbed what was said or not

Hua understood that Tang Qi was a fool. After several meetings, his actions were as foolish as a simpleton. How could he possibly connect with the heir without anyone noticing and do such things? It must be that the Li family was secretly instigating him.

Ah? Oh... Anxing opened the courtyard door, and Tang Wu remained frozen in the act of knocking. "Huh? How did you know I was coming?"

Tang Qi wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Hmm, you may leave now"

Regardless of how it is said, Tang Qi that night returned to the side courtyard with her mother, Li.

This is not someone he cannot afford to invite; he simply chose not to extend the invitation. Yet, the young master specifically sought him out just to treat a neglected concubine, which is clearly a slap in his face

Tang Qi leisurely ate and said, "You may leave now"

Faced with the prescription issued by Dr. Qian, the Hua family's silver teeth crunched down, and they had no choice but to approve it for procurement. Both the young master and Dr. Qian were watching closely; any tampering would be tantamount to seeking death. Thus, with the renowned physician's intervention, in just ten days, the once ghostly pale face of the Li family had regained a hint of color.

Tang Wu felt a surge of pent-up anger, causing blood to flow from his seven orifices. He pointed at his younger sister, who lay there with unblinking eyes, and exclaimed, "You, you, you, you, you, you are tearing down the bridge after crossing the river!"

Renowned doctors possess both skill and insight. Dr. Qian has practiced medicine for several decades, refusing to enter the Imperial Hospital, instead navigating among various royal palaces and nobles to provide treatment. He is well aware of the current situation.

During the process of staring at Tang Qi in a daze, he suddenly understood a truth

Now she understands that the situation is quite simple: the battlefield has shifted, the front lines have advanced, the wounded (Li) are stationed in the rear, the opponent is underestimating us, we are biding our time, and the situation... should be considered quite favorable

Do you think I am foolish? Naturally, it is best to wait for a while before discussing this; this girl cannot be spoiled too much

The equation was established, and Sha Qi contentedly fell asleep

The young boy, being still quite small, was momentarily shocked and nearly forgot a minor matter. However, the following day, this incident caused great turmoil throughout the Tang residence.

Lord Tang merely glanced at the tragic maid at the door and, without further comment on the request from the Hua family, nodded in agreement

While secretly cursing the Wing King's residence for its relentless cruelty and lack of proper upbringing for children, I still decided to maintain a smiling face and welcomed the doctor into the dimly lit room of the Li family

The grandly overlooked Lord Tang paced back and forth in the room, barely able to suppress the urge to throw things. Faced with the doctor sent by the young master, he found himself in a dilemma, unable to chase him away or keep him.

Tang Qi questioned: "What are you hoarding?"

Yes. Xingxing walked towards the bedroom door

On the night after the heir took away the embroidered items from hetushu.com, a three-session trial was held at home. The old lady, Lord Tang, and Madam Hua each sat on one side, while Tang Qi stood below.

"My lord, this is not appropriate," Hua said, glancing at the old lady. Seeing her holding the prayer beads with her eyes half-closed, she mustered her courage and continued, "My lord, regardless of whether the heir took the embroidered item and then abandoned it, he just left, and we immediately punished Xiao Qi. Wouldn't that make us seem too..."

This is the courtyard gate

I have come up with a plan. You see, you are skilled at embroidery, right? I will help you bring the materials for the embroidery. You can embroider what Zhu Qiyu wants. After all, the adults think this matter has fallen through, so we can take a hefty sum from him! Just estimate how much it should be...

Xing Xing stood by and softly said: "Miss, at least you should eat a few bites. The lady cannot eat, and you need to persuade her; otherwise, with such ups and downs recently, her health cannot withstand it"

Tang Qi silently calculated using the family-specific equation "Purpose = Result" and concluded that embroidering that item was to silence the Li family. Now, the Li family indeed no longer bothers her. Overall, the expected effect has been achieved, hasn't it?

I said we should jointly take a cut from him! Do you really want to monopolize it?

Seeing Sha Qi obediently follow the maid Ying Xue, she smiled disdainfully and walked towards her own room

What? Flower stood up, "Mother, I have sons and daughters, why must I still..."

This time, Tang Wu truly did not want to refute this statement

The master listened on without concern; he turned to his youngest daughter. Upon hearing that mother and daughter were about to be separated, she showed no reaction at all. While this did somewhat ease the worries of Madam Hua and the old lady, such indifference was truly disheartening.

Immediately following the embroidery presented by Tang Qi, everyone understood the background of Doctor Qian

Tang Qi nodded

I, I will head back first... Have you finished eating? Well, it doesn't matter if you haven't finished, I will come back to get it later... He decisively decided that it was best to leave first

Tang Qi stared at him for a while, her big, wooden-like eyes reflecting a profound meaning that made Tang Wu feel uneasy. Suddenly, she changed from her previous leisurely demeanor and quickly devoured all the fatty meat, then pushed the plate away, saying: "You may leave now"

Master Tang, panting a few times, sat down and looked at his unperturbed young daughter, letting out a long sigh: "Must I lock you up?"

The door beside creaked open, and Li's maid, Qiu Ping, emerged holding a tray with half-eaten dishes. Upon seeing the Seventh Miss in the courtyard, she paused slightly, performed a bow, and left with an expressionless face

The actions of the young lord indeed lack decorum, but they cannot be deemed a grave mistake. His task is simply to do whatever those who fund him instruct, while also accepting a modest amount of bribery. As long as no lives are lost, everything is considered satisfactory

At such a young age, you have already learned to engage in private dealings! Recently, Lord Tang has had little to do outside, but the backyard has been catching fire frequently, leaving him with a head full of lawsuits. Seeing this foolish girl makes him furious, "You rely on your foolishness to do whatever you want, don't you?! You even dare to provoke the Prince's residence, do you think your father is just a decoration?!"

Arrangement

Tang Wuzhen felt as if he were about to bleed from all seven orifices. No matter how he thought about it, he believed his logic was correct, yet Seventh Sister's calm demeanor suggested that her logic was also sound

Tang Qi sat upright, looking at the dish, and after a while said: "Open the door"

the master who is about to bleed from all seven orifices

In my opinion, this little girl is still very young and not very clear-headed; how could she have such cunning? Using a doctor to exchange for embroidery must be instigated by Li. The old lady spoke up, "It would be better not to let her and her mother be together. Let Li take care of her in the side courtyard. Tang Qi, let her be under your name."

Lord Tang did not react in time: "What are you nodding your head for?"

Oh. Tang Qi tilted her head and thought, "I am embroidering what he wants, what are you doing?"

Hello! Do you intend to monopolize it?

After speaking, he glanced around and stealthily slipped in, closing the courtyard door and saying: "Seventh Sister, have you eaten? I brought this for you from Fifth Brother, so much meat!" He handed the food box to Xingxing, letting her serve the meal, while he sat beside Tang Qi. Seeing the dishes on her table, he frowned: "Those sycophantic servants really have no eyes!" After a while, he continued: "You were wronged today, I’m sorry, sister. I still had my doubts about you, but once you made your move, I knew. My mother... sigh... I think it’s better for you to be here, with fewer people watching, it’s actually more peaceful. Tomorrow, I will get a doctor for your mother. Zhu Qiyu is not a good person, don’t pay him any mind!"

Reflecting on the formidable force from a while ago, I cannot help but feel a wave of sorrow, as I always sense that matters will not be so simple

The young master of the Wing King’s residence has invited the best renowned physician in the capital to treat Lady Li of the Tang family.

The blood of the maidservant on the ground is truly horrifying. Regardless of whether Tang Qi is the instigator, if one or two of the ladies from the Hua family faint, this matter will be settled just like that

It is said that Li's family lacks strength and is inept in educating their daughters, while Tang Qi, being filial to his mother, has been incited to commit such outrageous acts. This is also a dereliction of duty on the part of the Tang family. From now on, Tang Qi will be raised beside the legitimate wife, receiving proper education in etiquette, ensuring that the Tang residence does not lose its dignity. The old lady's voice was gentle, yet carried a sense of authority

Tang Qi, who had barely eaten a few bites of the good food at noon, returned to the side courtyard and stared blankly at a table of light meat and congee.

Tang Qi followed Ying Xue into a new room. Through a series of actions, she began to understand a little of what those people had been discussing earlier. In fact, just by listening, she truly did not comprehend—what incitement, what misconduct, ... what being kept under one's name ... . With so many terms, and not being a professional, how could she possibly understand

Although there are doubts about Li's intelligence, the old lady's opinion is still more reliable. Hua believes that it is better to control a fool at hand than to control an ambitious concubine, and thus agrees.

Aunt Li has been ill for seven or eight years. Although her long illness has led to some complications, it is not a serious condition. As long as one is willing to spend money on medicine and take care of her, she will eventually recover.
