Chapter 52 A Busy Day 2

While TanTan is talking with QingQing about the place, at the front gate of Li Mansion, arrived ShuangAi bringing some pack of medicine for TanTan as she planned.


When ShuangAi enters the mansion, she directly with Aunt Tong who just want to check TanTan.


"Good Morning, Aunt Tong"


Aunt Tong always being cheerful meeting ShuangAi as she already treats ShuangAi as her own daughter,


"Good Morning, Ai Er...what brings you to come here so early?"


ShuangAi shows the packs of medicine to Aunt Tong,


"I bring these to MuTan Jie, and I like to check her wound as well..."


Aunt Tong sighs,


"You are too kind, Ai Er...while she...ah it's confusing...."


Aunt Tong seems hard to continue her words, there is a pause and it makes ShuangAi asks her as they walk to the inner yard.


"What is confusing, Aunt Tong?"


"AiEr...Lately, I feel this HuaMuTan really change...her attitudes, her gestures...like someone else but I am still not sure if she is pretending or not..."


ShuangAi smiles,


"I don't think she is pretending, Aunt Tong. I feel the same too, it might because of her lost memory...but I don't think it is a bad effect..."


"Well...I must be honest to you AiEr...if it's true, I.. do not hate her changes...In fact, I wish she remains lost her memory...she has been good to FangFang..." Aunt Tong looks to ShuangAi, "Although she is still not as good as you..." She still feels what a lose if ShuangAi can't be a madam in this mansion.


ShuangAi sighs, she knows what is in Aunt Tong's mind, and for many times she has tried to explain to Aunt Tong that she will always be a good sister for Prince Li. She loves Prince Li but just as a big brother, nothing else. She wants to reply but they have arrived at the inner yard and seeing TanTan speaking with QingQing at the sitting area.


Aunt Tong approaches TanTan to tell the arrival of ShuangAi.


TanTan looks surprised to see ShuangAi,


"ShuangAi...? What are you doing here?"


ShuangAi smiles, and giving the packs of medicine to TanTan,


"I come to check your wound and I bring you some medicine to help your health and might help gain your memory"


"It's very kind of you...thank you, ShuangAiMei" It cheers TanTan a little bit. XiaoRue takes those packs from ShuangAi as her duty.


"Let me help you with that medicine, Young Madam...XiaoRue, come with me..." Aunt Tong surprisedly offers her help.


"Thank you, Aunt Tong..." After TanTan nods her head, XiaoRue and Aunt Tong excuse themselves and directs to the kitchen.


Then TanTan realizes ShuangAi looks to QingQing confusedly after she gave the medicine to XiaoRue. So TanTan introduces them both.


"ShuangAiMei, this is QingQing, my friend...she stays here for a while..."


ShuangAi observes QingQing, it's quite rare for HuaMuTan to make friend, especially a common folk like QingQing. ShuangAi smiles and gestures politely,


"Nice to meet you Ms.QingQing..."


QingQing smiles to her as well, only her eyes observe ShuangAi sharply.


"It's really nice to meet Lady Physician HuangShuangAi..."


"You know about me?" ShuangAi quite surprises.


"Of course, who doesn't know the famous Lady Physician HuangShuangAi in this town...your skill and generosity are known well...and...also as 'the closest woman' beside Prince Li, beside you, HuaMuTan, his wife of course..." Something in QingQing's last sentence actually is spoken to tease TanTan as QingQing looked to her to see any reaction. But it also makes ShuangAi doesn't comfort as she replies,


"Well...thank you...but the rumor might be too exaggerating. I am not 'that close' to Prince Li...he is like my brother only..."


"Ow,..okay..." QingQing doesn't talk furthermore. She just looks to TanTan's flat look, as she really doesn't care about it. QingQing is quite disappointing for that kind of respond.


And then ShuangAi changes the topic by talking to TanTan,


"MuTan Jie, how's your wound?" She means about TanTan's back.


TanTan bends her body a little bit and makes some other movement to check,


"I think it's full recovery now, thanks for your treatment..."


"Still I need to check it again for sure..."


But before ShuangAi finishing her words, QingQing interrupts it in an obvious curiosity,


"Wait...when did you get hurt?"


TanTan retells the story behind the wound to QingQing shortly, and at the end of the story, QingQing reacts,


"Wow...you are so brave, HuaMuTan! But who were those killers?"


She also realizes something, "... Is this why you want to find the silver-masked man? Are you trying to find your killers, HuaMuTan?!"


"Silver masked man? Who?" ShuangAi takes an interest in it. TanTan doesn't have a plan to telling ShuangAi about it coz with the closeness between Prince Li and ShuangAi, she doesn't sure its okay to tell her.


"Hm...well...didn't you want to check my wound, ShuangAi Mei...Let's go to my room now...and QingQing, please just help me to find any useful information...you know....'bout the time and place!" TanTan clearly tries to stop the topic.


"Let's go ShuangAiMei..."


Then she gives a little bit of force to lead ShuangAi back to her room while QingQing just seeing them off.


"Well...I think I must start to find that information now..."


At the same moment, XiaoRue just back and surprises to see QingQing alone,


"Ms. QingQing, where is XiaoJie?"


"She is back to her room with that Lady ShuangAi..." Then QingQing walks to the way of the mansion front gate.


"Are you going somewhere, Ms. QingQing?" XiaoRue wonders.


"Yeah... seeing my sister...I will come back soon...Tell your XiaoJie to be patient for my return, ok...Maybe the end of this day, she can get the information that she wants to hear" and then she walks away


XiaoRue wonders what information she means but she guessing it has to do with a silver masked man that her XiaoJie wants to find...


When QingQing walks through the front gate, she suddenly becomes exciting as she sees ManQi has returned with a horse chariot follows him, but definitely not Prince Li's horse chariot. QingQing immediately approaches ManQi,


"Hi, handsome GeGe... who is the guest you bring home?" she wonders.


ManQi steps down from his horse as he speaks to QingQing in a low tone.


"He is a special guest for Young Madam...and please behave well...its Minister Hua..."


"Minister Hua?" Hearing that name strangely makes QingQing giving a hard look. She glances sharply to Minister Hua who coming out from the chariot. Without everyone notices, QingQing clenches her fist so tightly and she just stands frozen as Minister Hua glances to her as seeing nobody and walks passing by her. QingQing still turns around to see ManQi leads Minister Hua entering the Li Mansion. If there is somebody around, they can see the hatred look on QingQing's face for a second before she decides to turn around and leave the Li Mansion.
