Chapter 384 Let Su Zhiwen's matter ferment for a while
At the same time, Old Kang and Young Kang did not mention this either. They just greeted the old marquis verbally and then helped him sit aside.
"Call, call the doctor!" the old marquis said with difficulty.
Su Qingwan immediately looked at Old Kang and asked, "Grandma Kang, have you sent someone to invite a doctor?"
Old Kang is so hateful!
She didn't say anything just now. If Su Qingwan wanted to see a doctor, she could just arrange it herself. Why bother asking her again?
"Miss, it was too busy just now and the old lady didn't have time to call, but someone has already gone to call the doctor." Shanhu said hurriedly.
Su Qingwan nodded and said to the old marquis: "Grandfather, the doctor will be here soon, just bear with it for now."
Anyway, it doesn’t matter whether your hand is broken or not.
Su Qingwan's words made the old marquis feel concerned, but he glanced coldly at Old Kang and Little Kang, feeling dissatisfied in his heart.
The women of the Kang family are so cold-blooded. Even though his arm was broken, they didn't even think of calling a doctor for him. They must only remember that rebellious son Su Zhiwen!
"Qingwan, you must quickly find someone to capture Su Zhiwen. My jade pendant cannot be lost." The old marquis spoke intermittently, and when he finished speaking, the doctor came hurriedly.
Su Qingwan immediately said, "Grandfather, don't worry. I will arrange for someone to go out and look for Second Uncle and will definitely bring him back. Now that the doctor is here, let him check your injuries first."
She made way for the doctor to treat the old marquis.
She said to Shanhu, "Shanhu, go find some people and send them out to look for Second Uncle. Make sure to bring him back. Remember to check if the jade pendant is still in Second Uncle's hand."
"Yes! I'll go right away." Shanhu bowed and walked out of Rong'an Hall briskly.
As soon as she went out, her pace slowed down. When she saw Qing Da, she told him about looking for someone.
"The second master didn't go out. He went to the opera troupe. I saw it." Qing Da said with a chuckle.
"The young lady said to arrange for someone to go out and look for her, so let's not worry about the Marquis' Mansion for now."
Shanhu was clever enough to grasp Su Qingwan's choice of words very accurately, and she immediately guessed that Su Qingwan wanted her to arrange someone to go out of the Marquis' Mansion to look for someone.
Come to think of it, the fourth young lady knew exactly where Su Zhiwen would go, so there was no need to arrange for anyone to look for him. But now that she had made arrangements, it meant that she didn't want anyone to find Su Zhiwen at this time.
Qing Da understood what Su Qingwan meant, "I see. I'll arrange for someone to look for her right away."
Shanhu saw Qingda walking away and then came back to report to Su Qingwan.
"Old Marquis, Fourth Miss, I have arranged for someone to go find Second Master."
"Well! I hope I can find my second uncle soon. I wonder what he wants so much money for? Could it be that he is still eyeing some authentic work of a famous artist like before?"
Su Qingwan murmured, but the speaker did not mean it, while the listener took it to heart. The faces of several people in the room all looked ugly.
Xiao Kang was worried that Su Zhiwen would really buy some famous works. It would have been fine in the past, but now the Marquis's Mansion was so poor that they couldn't even afford winter clothes for them, so where would there be any spare money for him to squander?
Moreover, the jade pendant that was just stolen seems to be quite valuable. If it were pawned, it would at least be worth more than one thousand taels of silver. Wouldn't it be better to convert it all into silver and take it back?
Old Kang was so angry that her chest ached. At the same time, the place where she was interrupted by the old princess was aching. This was because she was anxious and pulled that place after seeing the old marquis fall. But now she could no longer care about herself. She only thought that her second son had done another idiotic thing besides stealing things. He actually robbed the old marquis openly.
If this matter really spreads, Su Zhiwen would be dreaming if he still wants to take part in the scientific expedition, so it is better to bring him back as soon as possible and make sure not too many people know about his affairs!
The old marquis kept snorting in his heart, Su Zhiwen actually dared to do such a thing, he would probably use a knife to force him to give him the title of marquis one day, what a heartless and cruel man.
The doctor pretended not to hear anything and treated the old marquis's injury. After a long while, he finally healed the old marquis completely. Then he warned, "Marquis, your arm needs to rest for at least three months. I will prescribe a prescription for you to take orally."
The old marquis nodded, but the pain from the broken bone made him speechless.
Linxiang took the doctor to the side to write a prescription, and when he was about to send the doctor out, he took the silver in front of the old marquis.
"Fourth girl, I'll have someone give you the silver later." The old marquis actually didn't have much money in his hand, but it was better than what old Kang and the first and second wives had.
"Grandfather, it's my duty to treat you. How can I accept money from you? If I did, I'm afraid my father would blame me." Su Qingwan said with a smile.
The old marquis looked better. The two sons born to old Kang were indeed not very promising, but his third son was a good one. Not only did he hold a high position, but the children he raised were also very outstanding.
He couldn't help but think of Su Yuewen. That child was handsome and well-mannered, and it was said that he was very popular with several teachers in the Imperial College. He didn't know if he could win the title of the first place in the imperial examination. In fact, he didn't expect his descendants to win the title of the first place in the imperial examination. It would be good enough if they could get into high school safely.
"Good boy!" The old marquis nodded as he spoke, and was extremely satisfied with Su Qingwan.
Just as he finished speaking, there was a sound of running footsteps outside. Qing Da came in and reported, "Old Marquis, Fourth Miss, we have been looking for the Second Master outside for a long time and haven't seen him. We also asked people, but there is no trace of him."
"How come you can't find him?" Su Qingwan looked surprised, then turned to look at Xiao Kang and asked, "Second aunt, do you know where Second Uncle often goes?"
Xiaokang was just panicking because of the news just now. When she heard Su Qingwan's question, her mind was a mess. It was Nanny Ji who said it.
"Fourth Miss, the second master has only a few hobbies, either visiting friends or going to the theater."
Qing Da seemed to be thinking about something, then suddenly said, "Fourth Miss, the Peony Garden Opera Troupe that you invited to celebrate the old lady's birthday last time is still in Fenghe Courtyard. They said they will leave tomorrow."
"I understand. Go to Fengheyuan and take a look to see if your second uncle is there." Qing Da hurriedly bowed.
As soon as he left, Su Qingwan murmured, "I've heard before that my second uncle has friends all over the world. Could it be that he knew that the troupe was leaving tomorrow and stole my grandfather's jade pendant to give to them as a reward?"
The old marquis narrowed his eyes. He naturally heard Su Qingwan's anxious mutterings and snorted:
"Let's go to Fengheyuan too!"
