Amazing Pastoral World: Unparalleled Medical Queen

Chapter 148 Zhu Rong's Concerns

Zhu Rong seemed to feel the kindness emanating from Lu Ke'er, and her expression gradually relaxed.

But she remained silent, staring at Lu Ke'er without blinking.

"Xiao Rong, I know you've suffered a lot." Unexpectedly, Lu Ke'er didn't ask her what she had been through, but chatted with her gently, "You love your mother and your brother very much. I often hear your mother and your brother talk about things when you were a child. You have been very sensible, smart and well-behaved since you were a child. After your father passed away, you helped the family bear a lot. Your mother said that you are clever and the food you cook is better than hers. Your brother said that you often help him draw furniture patterns, and you draw very well. You are amazing, and I admire you very much."

A hint of shyness appeared on Zhu Rong's face.

"Xiaorong, it is really admirable for a girl to be so independent and strong like you. I believe that you must be a strong and brave girl at heart."

"I... I'm very timid." Zhu Rong blushed and whispered, "I'm afraid of insects and I don't dare to kill chickens. I..."

"I don't dare either." Lu Ke'er chuckled, "I'm also afraid of insects. I think they are disgusting."

Zhu Rong's expression gradually relaxed.

"Xiao Rong, do you know how worried your mother and brother were about you during your illness? They hope that you can live a safe and happy life. They are your most solid support, and you are not alone. And we, we will also help you."

Zhu Rong seemed to have thought of something and her face turned pale again.

"Xiao Rong, don't be afraid. What I want to tell you is that no matter what you encounter, don't back down. In this world, there are fair people. Bad people can't keep doing evil without any punishment, and good people can't keep being unlucky and persecuted."

Ye Feng interrupted, "Ke'er is right. Miss Xiaorong, don't worry about your family's safety. There will be people in this world who will make the decision for you. County Magistrate Fang Xingzheng is a good official. Not long ago, he severely punished several evil servants in the Jia Mansion."

Zhu Rong suddenly opened her eyes wide: "Is it true...really?"

Lu Ke'er nodded: "Xiao Rong, good deeds will be rewarded and evil deeds will be punished. If you can tell us what happened in the Jia Mansion that day, perhaps we can bring the Jia family to justice."

"But, but no one in the county dares to offend the Jia family. They have a backer in the capital, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Even if the county magistrate is a good official, he can't defeat them. Miss Lu, we are just ordinary people, we can't defeat them." Zhu Rong shook her head repeatedly.

"So, you're just going to watch more people get hurt by the Jia family?" Ye Feng's face darkened, and the intimidation on his body naturally emanated. Except for Lu Ke'er, everyone in the room felt an inexplicable sense of oppression.

"You think you have protected your family and yourself. But what about others? If the Jia family is not eliminated, Xilin County will never have peace! Your family will not be immune!" Ye Feng's voice was cold, and every word was like a knife, slashing at Zhu Rong and cutting her to pieces.

"No, no!" Zhu Rong broke down and cried, holding her head. "Don't force me! Don't force me!"

"Mr. Xiao, please, don't say anymore, don't say anymore." Hu Ya hugged Zhu Rong distressedly and pleaded with Ye Feng repeatedly.

Lu Ke'er tugged at Ye Feng's sleeve and shook her head at him: "Don't be so anxious. Xiao Rong has already been traumatized and she has just woken up. Let her take it easy first."

As a doctor, she couldn't be so heartless.

Call her soft-hearted or sentimental, she understood Zhu Rong's cowardice and retreat at the moment.

Ye Feng felt sorry for her misfortune and angry at her for not fighting back. In his opinion, the other party had never been ready to let her go, but she chose to escape, which was the behavior of a weak person.

“Miss Xiaorong, do you know that during the time when you were unconscious, your Zhu family had a hard time? The Jia family didn’t dare to fight openly, so they used despicable means to disrupt your family’s business, causing your family to not receive a single order for several months. If you hadn’t met Miss Lu, your family might still have no income.” Zuo Yi couldn’t bear to see His Highness being blamed by Miss Ke’er, so he interrupted.

He was a shadow guard and had seen too many swords and blood. His heart had become as hard as iron. Naturally, he didn't understand why Lu Ke'er was so concerned about Zhu Rong's feelings.

Lu Keer glared at the two of them angrily, and said to Zhu Rong and Hu Ya, "Xiao Rong's wishes should be put first. Xiao Rong, you should have a good rest. When you have figured it out, we can talk about it later."

After saying that, he picked up his pen and prescribed some calming and brain-nourishing medicine, and asked Hu Ya to get them when he had time.

Several people said goodbye to Huya Niang and prepared to leave. As soon as they got on the carriage, Huya hurriedly ran out of the room and asked them to stay.

"Miss Lu, Xiaorong just cried a lot. This girl has thought it through and decided to tell what happened in the Jia Mansion that day." Hu Ya was excited and uneasy, "I am so sorry. Just now I..."

Lu Ke'er smiled and said, "You are so eager to protect your sister, I can't blame you. It's good news that Xiaorong can choose to face it bravely."

When they returned to the room, Zhu Rong's expression had become much calmer. She wiped the tears from her face, suppressed the fear in her heart, raised her head and asked Ye Feng: "Sir, do you think County Magistrate Fang will really make a decision for us ordinary people?"

"Yes!" Ye Feng answered firmly.

The Jia family has the support of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and Fang Xingzheng also has the support of him, the crown prince.

His unquestionable tone put Zhu Rong at ease.

She seemed to have made up her mind, with a resolute look in her eyes: "Young Master and Miss Lu are right, I can't escape, otherwise, more people will be harmed. The Jia family are all demons, and the Jia Mansion is hell on earth!"

She gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with deep hatred and resentment, which frightened everyone.

"What did you see in the Jia Mansion?" Lu Ke'er took her hand and quietly circulated her spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy circulated and spread into the air.

Zhu Rong didn't know why, but she suddenly felt inexplicably at peace.

She said slowly.

"That day, my brother was not free, so I took him a few tea tables that Zhang, the housekeeper of the Jia Mansion, had ordered. I entered through a small side door next to the Jia Mansion. The gatekeeper led me into the Jia Mansion. It was my first time entering the Jia Mansion, and I was trembling with fear and caution, for fear that I would make a wrong step and bring trouble to the family. I followed the gatekeeper into a courtyard and a wing room, and put down the tea table at the place he designated. When I was about to follow the gatekeeper out, I didn't know what happened, and the gatekeeper was called away by a guard. The gatekeeper only told me to go back out of the mansion by the same route, and then left in a hurry. I had no choice but to walk back to the side door of the Jia Mansion by the route I had taken before. However, the Jia Mansion was too big, and when I followed the gatekeeper in, I was too scared and cautious, so I kept my head down and didn't remember the way at all. Therefore, I got lost after walking for a while."
