World-shaking First Daughter: Powerful Medical Princess

Chapter 36 To Look for the Lord Herself

After a moment of pause, Su Muge turned her head and looked at Meng Xiuwen.

“Eldest Mast Meng, what else?”

A few days ago, the Meng family had sent someone to tell her that she didn’t need to go to the Meng mansion anymore for treating Old Lady Meng. On that day, Su Muge had given the person a note to take back. And then here was the meeting between her and Meng Xiuwen.

“My grandma...” Meng Xiuwen wanted to explain to her why they had stopped her treatment for Old Lady. However, at this moment, he suddenly felt that there was no need for it, since in either way, she would take it as an excuse of them wanting to get rid of the Su family.

“Eldest Master Meng, there’s no need to talk about it. The Meng family has already done me a great favor.” Su Muge raised the little box in her hand and explained. She treated Old Lady Meng, and the Meng family helped her find the things she needed. Now, they owed each other nothing.

“Goodbye.”

Su Muge lowered her head, and turned to leave.

This time, instead of stopping her from going, Meng Xiuwen just looked at her, standing still.

Su Muge took the little box back to the Su mansion.

“Eldest Miss, you are back.” Yueru brought some desserts into the room and saw the box on the table. She was a bit shocked, but didn’t ask about it.

“There’s no need for you to serve here at the moment. Go out then.”

“Yes.”

Yueru left with Xinche and the others.

Su Muge opened the wooden box. There quietly lied a ginseng with at least three hundred years old, and red a fire glossy ganoderma also a few hundred-year-old if not a thousand.

It already came to her mind that it was the Meng family that was in the wrong when the person was sent to tell her to stop the treatment.

So she took their helping her founding the ginseng and the fire glossy ganoderma as a paying off.

Su Muge took them out of the box and cleaned them with water. After that, the ginseng and the glossy ganoderma were added to the medical liquid she had prepared before.

She had stayed up for several nights these days to study the toxin in her body. She found that it was tricky. And by tricky she meant that it was not hard to detoxify, but it was about the herbs of making the antidote.

With the same kind of herb growing up in different places in Chu and the land of the southern barbarians, the medicine made from them could have totally different effects.

She knew about it accidentally when she was in the pharmacy. There were commercial connections between Chu and the land of the southern barbarians, of which the herbs were especially welcomed by the merchants of Chu.

She had bought some back at that time and just wanted to give it a try. It had turned out that the effect of the medicine made was much better than that of Chu.

Su Muge stayed in her room for five days and she didn’t leave the room expect for the meals back at Zhao.

“Perfect! I’ve finally made it!”

The door of the room was opened by Su Muge with a loud bang. She was happy as ...as a lunatic while she danced with a large black pill in her hand...

Yueru was worried about her and afraid that she had gone mad since she closed herself up in the room for several days to make some weird stuff.

“Eldest Miss, are, are you ok?”

Taking the pill happily in her hand, Su Muge waved it with excitement.

“What could happen to me? Take some money and buy some meat and fish back from the big kitchen. I’m going to cook some nice dishes for you myself tonight.”

Xinlan, the youngest maid, walked to them in a hurry before Yueru could answer.

“Eldest Miss, some, something is wrong! The Lord, the Lord is missing!”

“What?!”

Before Su Muge said anything, a figure had already rushed towards her and held her hand with a worried look on that face.

“What are you saying? The Lord is missing?!”

Su Muge raised her eyes and found that the figure was nobody but her mother.

“Mom, don’t worry. Let’s talk about it in the room.”

Zhao nodded, and they all went back into the room.

Su Muge took a look at Xinlan, who was standing in the middle of the room. “So, what’s going on?”

The body of Xinlan was still trembling with fear.

“I, I heard about it from others. They said that the Lord went to Zhou county two days ago to check the situation there, but the people in Zhou county said the Lord never showed up. Now there are rumors in the mansion saying that the Lord has run away secretly to escape from the emperor’s charge!”

The faces of all the people except for Su Muge, turned pale.

“Impossible! The Lord would never leave us behind!” Zhao retorted subconsciously.

Unlike the emotional reaction of Zhao, Su Muge, in her sense, believed that it was impossible for Su Lun to do such a stupid thing. He was clever enough to know that if he escaped, he would put all the Su family into an abyss of unredeemable depth. Moreover, the rest of his life would be over.

“Has Madam An sent anyone to look for him?”

“I, I don’t know...” Although Xinlan was born and grown up in the mansion, her parents were both working in a village, and therefore she didn’t have many close relationships within the mansion.

“Mumu, I, I don’t believe it, your father, he would never have abandoned us...” Zhao didn’t quite understand what it would mean for them if Su Lun had really run away like this.

Su Muge took her mother’s hands in hers. “Of course not. Xinlan, you keep on collecting information about this in the mansion and come back to us as soon as you have any news.”

“Yes.”

“You don’t have to worry, and just do your job well. If anyone was found slack at their work or had other thoughts, I’ll definitely won’t let it off!”

Xinlan and others knelt upon her words.

“Yes, Eldest Miss.”

What was unexpected was that there was no news from Su Lun for several days. It was as if he had completely evaporated from the world.

An had been pretending to be calm for days, and now she couldn’t hide it anymore. If the emperor knew about this and punished them, no one would be left alive!

“Mama, where do think the Lord has gone? Does he really...” An was seated with her face white like paper. She held her handkerchief tightly in her hands.

Li Mama was also very flustered, but she had to remain her calmness, and she said, “Madam, don’t talk nonsense. You know that it’s not easy to go to Zhou county because of the flood. The Lord may have stayed somewhere on his way...”

“Mama, don’t lie to comfort me. It’s only three days’ walk from here to Zhou county, and he went there in a carriage! What should I do? I’ve written to my father a few days ago, and he hasn’t replied.”

“Madam, Eldest Miss wants to see you.” A maid’s voice came from outside of the room.

An didn’t hide the impatience on her face when she heard it.

“What is she going to do at this moment? She wants to ask me to save the lives of the three! Ask her to go back, and tell her I’m asleep.”

“Well, how careless of her to have the mood to sleep.”

“Hey, you may not go in...”

Before An could finish her words, Su Muge was in her room. The maid behind failed to stop her.

An waved her hand and let the maids go out.

“Eldest Miss, what are you here for?”

Su Muge ignored the impatience on An’s face, walked towards a chair and sat down.

“Madam, I know what you’re worrying about. I’m here today to talk to you about the solution.”

An glanced at her with sarcasm. “A solution? What kind of solution do you have?”

“I’m going to look for my father in Zhou county.”

Both in amazement, An and Li Mama looked at Su Muge as if they were talking to a lunatic.

“What are you talking about? You are going to Zhou county, and to look for your father?”

“That’s right.”

“Eldest Miss, do you have any idea of what you are talking about?” There was more astonishment on Li Mama’s face.

Su Muge looked at her in calm. “I know exactly what I am doing. Madam, I’m coming to you for two things. First, prepare the things for my trip. Second, I’ll need my father’s official seal.”

“What do you need the official seal for?”

“I can never find my father on my own. I need people. Now that everybody is panic in the Su mansion, Madam, do you think they’re reliable?”

An stared at Su Muge. She never thought that Su Muge was serious about looking for her father, Su Lun!

“And if my father really...disappears, what can you do with his official seal kept?”

An frowned. She knew Su Muge was right. If anything happened to Su Lun, or if he ran away, nobody would care about any official seal.

Since Su Muge wanted to look for her father, then why not let her go? She couldn’t wait to see what kind of tricks would Su Muge play.

“Fine. When are you going to leave?”

“The sooner the better.”

...

Su Muge packed the ready-made pills with caution when she went back to the Peachblossom Courtyard.

“Miss, are, are you really...” Yueru was the only one in the Peachblossom Courtyard to know where Su Muge was heading to.

“My father’s present whereabouts is unknown. As his daughter, it’s my duty to go.” Su Muge packed her things in order in a quite calm way.

“But Miss, you have no idea how dangerous that place could be...I feel worried about your trip alone.”

Su Muge tied a dagger to her leg, and changed into the male costume she had prepared.

“Miss, take me with you. At least I can take care of you on the way.”

“I’m going to look for someone, and I’m not going for fun.”

“Miss...”

Su Muge took out a piece of note from her body. “After I leave, manage to give this to Eldest Master Meng.”

Yueru took over the letter automatically, still lost in astonishment.

“Yes, I’ll give this to Eldest Master Meng.”

“And ask my mom to take care of my brother. Don’t worry about me. I’m leaving.”

Su Muge left without any hesitation. Time was money, and she could not waste a second since she had no idea how terrible the situation was in Zhou county.

An was quite efficient as well. By the time Su Muge went to the gate, a carriage, though not too big but just solid enough, was waiting there outside. Li Mama handed the official to Su Muge herself.

“Madam has prepared all the things you need in the carriage. You may leave out any other concern.” Although Li Mama never liked Su Muge, she did admire Su Muge at this very moment. After all, usually an unmarried girl from a mansion rarely had her braveness.

Su Muge took the things with her and got onto the carriage.

An had only arranged one carriage driver for her. There were some common herbs and medicine in the carriage besides the solid food.

If fast enough, she could arrive at Zhou county in one day at most.

However, with the rainy days, the post road was bumpy. Only half a day after they had left Shunyang prefecture, the horses were tired and the carriage slowed down.

Su Muge was leaning against the wall of the carriage when she almost fell out because of a sudden bumping.

She tried to keep her balance and opened the curtain. “What happened?”

“Eldest, Eldest Miss, there, there is...” The face of the driver was pale and there was fear in his eyes when he looked at Su Muge, as if there was a ghost...
