Mrs. You's eyes flickered when she heard Granny Feng's words. Her gaze swept over the servants behind her. Although she tried her best to hide the fear in her eyes, it clearly conveyed that they were unwilling to be sent to their deaths.
Madam You's expression changed and her gaze became even sharper. Just as she was about to say something, she was interrupted by Master Gu."Alright! I shouldn't interfere with your decision, but Ling 'er has just woken up and can't leave someone to take care of her. Lian' er, this girl... Let's keep her for now!”
The Old Master had spoken. Although Madam You was still a little angry, she did not dare to give him face. She could only glare at Zu Ling 'er hatefully and gnash her teeth at Lian' er, who was kneeling at her feet."Since Old Master has spoken up for you, today's mistake will be recorded on your account for the time being. Take good care of Third Miss. If anything happens again, don't blame our Gu residence for not being able to tolerate you!”
"Thank you, Master. Thank you, Madam You. This servant will definitely do her best to take good care of young miss!”Lian 'er's forehead hit the ground heavily, and the loud banging sounds seemed to hit Zu Ling' er's heart." This was the life she would have to face in the future, a world that did not take human lives seriously, where there was no equality and no self-esteem. Would she be able to do well in such a house like the girl who had transmigrated in the books?
Zu Ling 'er braced herself. She had no choice but to continue walking. She didn't expect to win the favor of Madam Yoo. As for this stern master, he should be her father, right? Although he did not smile, he looked very cold. However, from the way he was willing to plead for Lian 'er, he was not a ruthless person. He did not know who else in this family could be his reliance. For now, the temporary breakthrough point should be on this "old master", right? However, breaking the ice was not something that could be done overnight. What she needed the most now was to take good care of this broken body. Now, even raising her hand had become a very laborious action!
"Master, Madam Yoo!" A rather young voice sounded timidly," The doctor is here. Should we let the doctor treat Third Miss first?”
"Physician Hou, Yan 'Er fainted just now. Please quickly check her pulse!”Madam You's expression was no longer as ruthless as before. She looked lovingly at her daughter, who was being helped to sit on a stool that was still intact. She very politely squeezed out a smile at the elderly doctor with a goatee.
The corner of Zu Ling 'er's mouth twitched slightly, and a helpless smile disappeared in an instant." It seemed that the person who was sick and needed a doctor was here, right? Your precious daughter was just a little frightened, and now she's acting as if she's the one who's going to die. What a difference in treatment! It wasn't that the flesh that fell from one's body didn't hurt!
Doctor Hou was the doctor of the largest medicine shop in the city, the Jishi Hall. He was quite famous in Xiapu City, which was why Madam You treated him with such courtesy.
Physician Hou took Gu Yan 'Er's pulse. A medicine boy beside him prepared paper and ink for him. The old physician wrote the prescription as he said,"Mrs. Gu, your daughter is just a little frightened. The evil wind has entered her body. As long as she follows this prescription, she will be fine after taking three bowls of water and boiling them into one bowl for two days.”
Madam You glared fiercely at the culprit, Zu Ling 'er, before smiling and thanking Physician Hou."Many thanks, Physician Hou! Liu 'er, go to Ji Shi Tang and get the medicine according to the prescription. Cook it for Young Miss to drink. You must see Young Miss drink it, understand?”
Zu Ling 'er looked at the scene in front of her silently and cursed in her heart," Why don't you act in 'Face Changer'? Aren't you afraid that your facial muscles will cramp up?
"Yes, sir!" Liu 'er accepted the order and left. Gu Yan 'Er glared angrily at Zu Ling' er, the culprit who had caused her to suffer. If her father wasn't here, she would have gone up and slapped that jinx a few times. In front of Master Gu, she had always played the role of an obedient child. She had to endure it. She definitely could not give herself away in front of her father!
Zu Ling 'er's expression was extremely innocent. Who did I offend? Why are they all glaring at me as if they want to eat me up? Sigh! A daughter of a concubine is sad, a daughter of a concubine is difficult!
"Physician Hou, my daughter Ling 'er also fainted just now.”Finally, there was someone who could remember the person on the bed who had almost died. Zu Ling 'er looked at Old Master Gu with tears of gratitude. After all, they were connected by blood, so he wasn't too cold-blooded. Zu Ling 'er had decided on one of the survival strategies for her house: Hugging Master Gu's thigh!
Perhaps it was because the gratitude in Zu Ling 'er's eyes was too strong, or perhaps it was because he saw his youngest daughter's wrist was pitifully thin when Physician Hou was taking her pulse, but at least the expression on Master Gu's face did not look so serious. Occasionally, his gaze on Zu Ling' er would also soften.
Zu Ling 'er stole a glance at Gu Yan' er, who was trying her best to pretend to be likable. However, when she saw that Old Master Gu was showing her a trace of kindness, her expression changed due to jealousy and hatred. She secretly stuck out her tongue in her heart. Wasn't he just pretending to be clever? If you can, so can I!
After that, Zu Ling 'er was extremely obedient and sensible as Physician Hou took her pulse and treated her. Even when Physician Hou took out a bitter pill with a pungent smell, she obediently swallowed it with a frown on her face.
Physician Hou wrote a new prescription for Gu Yan 'Er and handed it to the nanny who had invited him over. He then looked at Zu Ling' er, who was looking at him pitifully with her big innocent eyes. He said to Master Gu, who was standing motionless,"Master Gu, your daughter is both mentally and physically damaged. She needs to recuperate well. Otherwise, even if the Divine Doctor is alive, she won't be able to cure the root of her illness. The child is still young, don't let her be frightened again. Take this prescription for half a month, and this old man will come back to give her a new prescription…sigh!”
Physician Hou secretly glanced at the furnishings in the room and shook his head. If a Shu young lady in a vermilion gate was not loved, she was worse than a servant. Based on the child's pulse, he must have been living in fear all day long and could not provide enough nutrition. That was why his body was so damaged. What sin! He hoped that the child would be better the next time he came. Otherwise…there was nothing he could do.
After sending off Physician Hou, Old Master Gu looked around at the furnishings in the room. His expression returned to its previous cold and hard state, and his voice did not fluctuate as he said," Calm down and recuperate. Don't be so anxious…If you need anything, go to the storeroom and get it…"
Old Master Gu did not seem to be very good at playing the warm card. He could also say words of concern as if he was reprimanding someone. However, Zu Ling 'er still managed to detect a hint of concern from Old Master Gu's words. She raised her small yellow and thin face and smiled brightly at Master Gu. This smile stunned Master Gu, who was about to turn around and leave. He looked deeply at his little daughter who seemed to have been reborn and sighed silently in his heart. I hope you can do as the divinator said, your soul will return and bless the world…
Madam You took advantage of the moment when Master Gu turned around and left to glare at Zu Ling 'er fiercely. She pointed at the mulberry tree and scolded the locust tree,""You cheap servant, what are you standing there for? Aren't you going to help Eldest Miss back to the courtyard? Fortunately, it was only the evil wind that invaded. If it were the evil demons, it would be terrible. All of you, go do what you should do. If you touch anything dirty, don't blame me for throwing you out of the residence!”
After she finished speaking, she followed behind Master Gu, who had already disappeared outside the courtyard door. She twisted her body and left. Her colorful clothes wrapped around her slightly fat body, making her look like a fat green snake.
