The rural doctor bought a husband who was very treacherous

Chapter 203 Past Events of the Su Family

Returned to the valley.

Su Tang quietly replaced some of the people who had stayed in the valley before. She did not replace them all at once to prevent someone from noticing the clues.

The Jinyiwei who had already known that they would be changing shifts were not surprised at all. After coming out of the space, they began to familiarize themselves with the environment in the valley and the daily tasks to be done with the people who had stayed in the valley.

Fortunately, things here are not complicated. Every day, everyone gets up early in the morning, has breakfast, and then starts the day's work. At noon, everyone goes back to have lunch and take a break.

The days of going from point A to point B are very similar to the way modern people go to work.

"Aunt!" Su Tang had just returned. After arranging the replacement shift, she was looking at the list of people Zhao Qian gave her in her room.

At this time, the shouts of children were heard outside the house.

The day Su Tang came back, she didn't see her children. After asking around, she found out that they had all been sent to the town's school to study.

Sun Yueyun's younger brother did not go with them because Sun Yueyun had been to school and was literate. She did not want to be separated from her younger brother, and did not want to waste the master's money, so her younger brother stayed in Dahe Village and did not go to the town with Daniu and the others.

Su Tang heard the shouting outside the house and put the list Zhao Qian gave her back into the space.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Daniu outside the room respectfully called out, "Aunt."

"Come in." As Su Tang finished speaking, the door opened and a little head immediately popped in. "Aunt!!"

Erniu is still the most lively one. Yesterday he decided to go to Kyoto to attend Su Tang's wedding. Today, Sun went to pick up a few children.

Erniu immediately threw himself into Su Tang's arms, looking up at her, "My aunt hasn't been home for a long time. I had a dream yesterday that my aunt brought a lot of delicious food to me."

"You little foodie." Su Tang smiled and scratched Erniu's nose, then called Chunmei outside the house to bring some snacks.

Su Tang held Erniu in her arms and looked at Da Niu and Daya standing in front of her.

The two men were wearing decent and clean clothes. Although the clothes were not made of fancy materials, they no longer had the rustic look they had when they were in Dahe Village.

Seeing Su Tang coming, the two of them bowed to Su Tang as a junior, "Daniu, Daya, meet the young lady."

"Well, don't be so reserved, come and sit down." Su Tang said, pointing to the chair next to the table.

The two nodded and walked to the table and sat down.

"Come in too." At this time, Erniu in Su Tang's arms shouted towards the door.

Su Tang looked up and saw a child standing timidly at the door. It was Zhao Dali's son Zhao Tiedan.

"Tiedan, come in." Su Tang waved at Tiedan.

When he heard Su Tang calling him, Zhao Tiedan walked in carefully.

"Miss Su." Zhao Tiedan also bowed to Su Tang as a junior.

"Well, from now on you can just follow Erniu and call me aunt." Su Tang motioned Zhao Tiedan to sit down at the table as well.

"Aunt." Zhao Tiedan smiled and bowed to Su Tang again, very politely.

Chunmei quickly came over with two food boxes containing a lot of exquisite snacks.

As soon as the lunch box was opened, the children's eyes were attracted by the snacks inside.

Su Tang looked at Chunmei and said, "Go and bring Sun Rongfei here."

That child cannot be left behind. Although that child did not go to school with Erniu and his friends, he will eventually grow up with them. Su Tang wants Zhao Tiedan and Sun Rongfei to become the helpers of Daniu and his generation.

It is always better to cultivate confidants from a young age.

Soon, Sun Rongfei was also brought in.

"Rong Fei meets Miss Su." As expected, he is a child from a wealthy family and his etiquette is very good.

Su Tang pointed to the empty seat at the table and said, "Come and sit with us."

"Yes." Rong Fei responded, walked to the table and sat down properly.

The children in the family finally gathered together, "Okay, these are what your Aunt Xia Mei just made, everyone try them and see if you like them."

Su Tang also sat at the table, picked up a piece of pink cake and took a bite.

Seeing Su Tang eating, the children began to reach out to grab the snacks they liked in the food box.

After a while, the snacks in the two lunch boxes were eaten by the children.

"If you like any of them, go tell Aunt Xia Mei and she will make some for you tomorrow."

"Aunt, can I eat this kind of delicious snack every day in the future?" Erniu liked Su Tang the most. He leaned his little body towards Su Tang.

"Okay, in a few days, I will take you to a nice place where there are more delicious foods. By then, I'm afraid your mother will be worried that you will get fat again." Su Tang rubbed Erniu's hair.

The children sat with Su Tang for a while, told her what they had learned in the town, and then left under the leadership of Danniu.

Before leaving, Su Tang looked at Sun Rongfei and said, "Rongfei, you should go to the town with them to study. I will also tell your sister about this later."

Only by growing up together and being inseparable can these children become closer in the future.

"Yeah." Sun Rongfei agreed and left with Daniu and the others.

"You like children very much." Qi Lingheng walked into the house as soon as the children left.

"Well, it's okay. As long as the child doesn't make trouble, I can accept it." As long as the child is not a naughty child, Su Tang can accept it.

Although Erniu is a little more lively, he is not a naughty kid. He is very perceptive and knows when to be quiet and when to be close to Su Tang and act coquettishly. He is not the kind of person who makes unreasonable demands.

Although Old Man Su brought the Su family to live in the countryside, he never relaxed his education on this aspect of his children. In his opinion, the children of the Su family can be poor, but they must be upright.

"Then can we have more children in the future?" Qi Lingheng suddenly walked to Su Tang and said this.

"Do you think giving birth means giving birth to piglets?" Su Tang rolled her eyes at Qi Lingheng.

"Then, let's have two, a boy and a girl, so that we can make a perfect couple." Qi Lingheng said in a compromising manner.

"Look, maybe I won't have any children at all."

"Well, okay then." Qi Lingheng... Dad, the continuation of the Qi family's bloodline will depend on your efforts in the future.

The Duke of Qi, who was far away in Kyoto, sneezed loudly at this moment.

He rubbed his nose and pulled the quilt up to his chest. It seemed that he would need another quilt tomorrow.

"I've asked Qi Yan to go back." Qi Lingheng sat at the table, "They will also check the things in the booklet."

"Yeah." Su Tang nodded in agreement.

"What do you think of my elder brother?" Su Tang held her chin and tilted her head to look at Qi Lingheng.

After coming back today, she was thinking about one thing.

Su Tang wondered whether she wanted her cheap elder brother to sit on the throne, or the man next to her.

As for becoming the queen, Su Tang had never thought about it that way.

She just wanted to find a reliable backer so that she could just have fun.

She doesn't want to be burdened by mountains of tasks every day.

When it came to business, Qi Lingheng also took it seriously.

"The Second Prince had been living outside the palace for a long time, claiming to be ill, and had no overt contact with any court officials. However, the news that the Qi family's spies heard was different from the rumors outside."

Qi Lingheng fumbled with the food box on the table. "Just like this food box, we need to peel off the paint to see what kind of wood is under the paint."

Su Tang raised her eyebrows and waited for Qi Lingheng to continue, "The Second Prince has actually been secretly connected to the forces left by Su Taifu. You should have heard that Su Taifu assisted two emperors, and the last one he assisted was Emperor Jing.

Before Emperor Jing ascended the throne, because of the relationship with Grand Tutor Su, Emperor Jing brought the youngest daughter of the Su family into the palace, and made her a concubine as soon as she entered the palace. Later, after Concubine Su gave birth to the second prince, she was directly made a concubine. "

Concubine Su was the daughter of the former Grand Tutor Su, and the mother of Su Tang and the second prince.

"Not long after Imperial Concubine Su entered the palace, Imperial Tutor Su suddenly fell ill and passed away. Some of Imperial Tutor Su's former students defected to Emperor Jing, while others left the court and opened schools in the market."

"Later, among these people, there was a student named Li Kuan who founded Yangyan College in Yangyan. This person secretly exchanged letters with the Second Prince..."

Qi Lingheng glanced at Su Tang after he finished speaking, “The Qi family is a lone minister in the court, and is only loyal to the bloodline of the Yongzheng clan, so the Qi family has also secretly cultivated some spies.

The ancestors of the Qi family did this to protect themselves, in case the Qi family is abandoned after their death. "

"Yeah, I understand." Su Tang nodded to show her understanding. Wasn't this also the preparation she made when she asked the Qi family for these people?

No matter how powerful she is, even if she has a large number of modern weapons in her hands, she can't beat four hands with one punch. She will never be able to fight against the powerful forces of this era alone.

Therefore, she also needs to cultivate some people of her own.

Of course, unless she hides in the space all day and never interacts with outsiders again.

But people are always social animals, and Su Tang asked herself if she could do it.

"The Second Prince was originally weak and sickly, and the imperial physician also concluded that he would not live past the age of twenty. So although the Second Prince had close ties with the forces left behind by Grand Tutor Su, in my opinion, he just wanted to protect himself and ensure that he could live to the age of twenty."

"But later, after you cured the Second Prince, he began to openly win over those students of Master Su who had stayed in the court, and Emperor Jing seemed to have acquiesced to this."

"Do you think my grandfather died in an accident or died of old age?" Su Tang asked, suddenly stopping tapping on the table.

"Accident." Qi Lingheng said affirmatively.

"Before Imperial Concubine Su entered the palace, although Imperial Tutor Su was already quite old, he was in very good health and had always been examined by the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital."

"Could it be that the imperial physician did something?" Su Tang looked at Qi Lingheng.

"Perhaps you can ask your father-in-law about this." The father-in-law that Qi Lingheng was referring to was Old Man Su.

"Well, I'll go ask later."

Old Man Su’s ancestors were imperial physicians for generations, so he might have heard something.

"Have you ever wanted to be an emperor?" Su Tang suddenly leaned close to Qi Lingheng's ear and whispered.

Qi Lingheng's ears couldn't help but turn red because of Su Tang's sudden approach. He shook his head. The ancestral precepts of the Qi family have always taught the Qi family to be loyal to His Majesty the Great Yong.

If Emperor Jing had not hurt the Qi family's feelings this time, Qi Lingheng would definitely scold Su Tang after hearing what Su Tang just said.

"No?" Su Tang sighed. That was a pity.

"The Second Prince is now well, so it's not impossible to push him to the throne." Qi Lingheng felt that this was an easier thing to do. If he were allowed to rebel, it would be somewhat unreasonable, not to mention that the current Emperor Jing did not have a reputation as a tyrant.

Emperor Jing always cherished his reputation and never killed court officials indiscriminately.

He has been on the throne for so many years, but he has probably only paid some attention to the Qi family.

"Then I will go talk to my brother after I return."

Su Tang pinched her eyebrows. After all, she was not the real Su Tang, and her relationship with the Second Prince was only physical and blood-related.

Besides, she and the second prince have not grown up together, and perhaps in the second prince's heart, her position is far less important than the throne.

"Okay, every problem will naturally have a solution." Qi Lingheng patted Su Tang's hand.

However, there is one thing that Qi Lingheng has not told Su Tang yet, and that is that he is a reborn person.

In his previous life, he assisted the eldest prince to ascend the throne, so of course he can assist the second prince to ascend the throne in this life. But if the second prince is also an ungrateful person, he doesn't mind seizing the throne and pushing Su Tang to be the empress.

"What are you looking at?" Su Tang suddenly felt that Qi Lingheng next to her was looking at her with a strange look.

"It's okay, I'm just worried about you." Qi Lingheng shook his head.

"I'm fine. At worst I can just hide back in space."

"Okay, I'll go ask Dad." Su Tang stood up and walked out.

"Okay, I'll wait for you in the house."

Behind her, Qi Lingheng's words almost made Su Tang trip.

"Madam, please be careful." Qi Lingheng's smiling voice made Su Tang walk much faster.

When Su Tang arrived at Old Man Su's room, Old Man Su was chatting with Professor Tian.

The two of them now spend every day together studying medical skills.

Professor Tian even gave the poisonous insects he brought back from southern Xinjiang to Old Man Su.

"Hey, you're here." Professor Tian looked at Su Tang and said.

"Well, you guys aren't tired either, take a break and then study until your hair turns white." Su Tang joked with a smile.

"It's okay, just dye your hair when the time comes." Professor Tian replied with a smile.

"Tang'er, is there something wrong?" Old Man Su looked at Su Tang and asked.

"Well, there are some things I want to ask Dad." Su Tang replied.

"Then I'll go out and take a look outside."

Professor Tian walked out with his hands behind his back, and thoughtfully closed the door before leaving.

The smile on Su Tang's lips disappeared after Professor Tian left. She turned around and looked at Old Man Su seriously, and asked in a low voice,

"Dad, do you know which doctors treated Master Su back then? Did any of them resign or die after Master Su passed away?"

After hearing what Su Tang said, Old Man Su was stunned for a moment, and then he began to think.

After all, the time interval was too long, and he actually didn't work in the Imperial Medical Service for long.
