Chapter 606: The eldest son is hypocritical
The clouds are floating, bringing a slight coolness.
Ning Yunxi sat on the soft chair by the window, looking up at the clear sky, and her mind became peaceful.
"Yesterday, my elder brother was punished to kneel with me. My knees were injured. I don't know if they are better today after applying medicine."
Qiu Bi sat down on one side, curling her lips in disdain.
"Whether his knees are injured or not, how can you believe it without letting the girl see it?"
Ning Yunxi's eyes were filled with worry and her trust remained unchanged.
"There is a difference between men and women. I am not allowed to check his injuries. How can I see?"
"Big brother has never lied to me. When he said he was hurt, it was definitely true."
Qiu Bi pointed it out calmly.
"I'll take a look at this, it's just a self-torture trick."
Ning Yunxi was slightly startled.
"Another self-torture trick?"
"These days, whenever Big Brother has problems, you say it's a self-torture tactic."
She noticed something was wrong and asked with concern.
"What's wrong with you these days? Why do you always say bad things about big brother?"
"Didn't you always say that Big Brother treated me sincerely?"
Qiu Bi was unhappy.
"The eldest master's disguise was too deep. I was not able to see through it before. It was not until that day when he went to Hong Hutong and the young lady was wronged that I suddenly realized it."
Ning Yunxi smiled helplessly and thought about it.
"You just saw that Big Brother was acting ruthlessly and you were scared by him, right?"
Qiu Bi did not hide anything and expressed her inner feelings generously.
"I was indeed frightened."
"Don't you think, girl, that he is two-faced?"
"He clearly promised not to kill innocent people, so why did he start a war and exterminate a large number of people instead of handing them over to the court?"
Ning Yunxi spoke well of her brother.
"That day, my elder brother was extremely angry. I can understand that."
She changed the subject and spoke to Qiu Bi.
"However, you are right. He disregarded the law and acted on his own, which was indeed inappropriate."
Qiu Bi stated his views seriously.
"A few days ago, the young lady was in a deep depression, and I dared not mention this matter, for fear of causing pain to her. Today, the young lady has recovered well, and I have to speak from the bottom of my heart."
"That day, the eldest son specially verified the identity of the thieves and only exterminated the civilian thieves, while all the nobles were released."
"On the surface, they appear to be righteous, but in reality, they are bullying the weak."
"Isn't it obvious that you are not what you appear to be?"
"Girl, can't you really see it?"
Ning Yunxi corrected softly.
"Afterwards, no one from the noble family was spared."
Qiu Bi was determined in her idea and did not waver at all.
"That was their own fault. God will not spare them. What does it have to do with you, young master?"
Ning Yunxi said what was in her mind.
"Maybe it was my elder brother who was plotting this in secret."
Qiu Bi totally disagreed.
"To deal with so many people, not to mention the eldest master, even the young lady doesn't have such high wisdom."
"My Lord, how can you defeat a hundred enemies with one person?"
"If you indulge the enemy for one day, you will be helpless for ten thousand days."
"There should be a limit to how much a girl can deceive herself."
There was a look of confusion between Ning Yunxi's brows.
"I really can't do anything about it, but I always feel that this was done secretly by my elder brother."
Qiu Bi mustered up her courage, sneered, and persuaded the girl to wake up.
"The eldest son always said nice things, to protect his sister and not let you get hurt; he knelt with his sister as punishment, and the brother and sister suffered together."
"Indeed, after so many years, the relationship between the parents has not been properly handled, and the girl has suffered such a great setback."
"He has a good reputation, the most filial son in Yuesheng, and praised for the harmony between brothers and sisters. Only the girl has a bad reputation."
"In my humble opinion, the eldest master is a very hypocritical person."
Ning Yunxi's eyebrows moved slightly, showing a bit of confusion.
"But I didn't see any hypocrisy in him."
Qiu Bi's eyes were resolute and she was particularly confident.
"The girl must have been blinded by family affection."
"I saw it clearly."
Recalling the past carefully, Ning Yunxi quickly dispelled her doubts and smiled happily.
"You must be mistaken."
Qiu Bi turned away angrily.
"When facing your loved ones, you are blind. Humph, you say that I misunderstood."
"I have given you good advice, but the young lady doesn't want to listen. So forget it."
Ning Yunxi immediately started to coax her.
"Yes, yes, I know you mean well."
"I am Ning Yunxi, thank you Miss Qiu."
Qiu Bi's cheeks turned lightly pink, and she felt so ashamed that she could not express it.
"Miss, you... are embarrassing me."
It's a moment.
Ning Yunxi came to Huixinju.
"Brother, has your knee injury improved?"
Ning Fengzhe smiled warmly, stood up to greet her, and sat down with her.
"Yes, I have recovered."
"The ointment you developed is very effective."
Ning Yunxi smiled brightly.
"Thank you for the compliment, brother."
"The injury may recur. Big brother, please apply the medicine again at night."
Ning Fengzhe nodded, feeling sweet and happy.
"it is good."
"You came all the way here to care about my...injury?"
Ning Yunxi straightened his expression a little.
"I have another question, big brother."
Ning Fengzhe put away his smile and listened attentively.
"You said."
Ning Yunxi talked about her troubles, with a look of loss on her brows.
"I just checked the accounts and found that Huichuntang's profit this month is not good."
"I don't know if it's because of me."
"Although few people know about the incident in Hongxing Hutong, the story about me has been widely circulated. I think it has damaged my reputation as a doctor to some extent."
Ning Fengzhe looked at him softly and spoke in a soothing voice.
"Don't think too much about it. Maybe it's because there aren't many patients recently."
"You always say that you hope there will be no disease in the world. Now it has come true. This is a good thing."
Ning Yunxi pursed her lips, a little coquettishly.
"There are many sick people in the palace, how can there be no disease in the world? I am talking about serious matters, brother, please don't joke with me."
Ning Fengzhe's eyes were full of affection and his doting became more and more intense.
"Okay, I won't joke."
He thought about it for a moment and came to a conclusion.
"Perhaps it's because you set a rule not to charge poor people for consultations, which resulted in a loss in profits?"
Ning Yunxi nodded.
"Probably."
Ning Fengzhe had no intention of blaming anyone and just complained casually.
"I told you long ago, don't be impulsive. Once the rules are set, it's hard to change them."
"You just won't listen."
"There's no way to end this. Tell me, what should we do?"
Ning Yunxi listened carefully and made a careful decision.
"Big brother is right. I shouldn't be impulsive. I should understand it clearly first."
"I heard that Xinglintang is the same, and they don't charge poor people for consultations, but I've never heard of any problems with their accounts."
"I think King Dijin is good at managing money. I will go and learn from him."
The conversation suddenly turned to Xinglin Hall. Ning Fengzhe was caught off guard, looked shocked, and hurriedly tried to persuade them.
"You don't need to go to seek scriptures. You won't learn anything at all."
"My dear sister, that is King Dijin. Even if Xinglintang suffers losses, he has other income to fill the gap, so there will certainly be no problem with the accounts."
Ning Yunxi has made up her mind.
"It won't hurt for me to go and have a look."
Ning Fengzhe volunteered.
"You are deep in the enemy camp. This is a serious matter. What if you encounter danger?"
"I'll go for you."
Ning Yunxi didn't care.
"That's a clinic, not Prince Dijin's residence. What kind of danger could there be?"
"Don't worry, big brother. I'll be fine."
She is decisive and leaves as soon as she says she will.
If Ning Fengzhe tried hard to stop her, it would inevitably arouse her suspicion, so he could only let her leave.
"Wen Jia, go ask the informant in Prince Di Jin's mansion to report to me immediately where Prince Di Jin is now."
