Noble Lady

There was a lot of discussion in the clinic, and even people passing by the door heard some of the rumors and joined in the discussion.

I believe that after tonight, the news of the He family's bad conduct will spread.

He Minzhi didn't care about those things at the moment.

He went out with great enthusiasm, but now he returned empty-handed, so he was naturally dejected.

As soon as I came back, I encountered the grass flying around like a headless fly.

"Your daughter is taking care of the old lady. What are you doing here if you don't go to help?"

"No, sir, the doctor we just called said he couldn't treat the old lady's illness and asked us to find another one. I was just about to call a new doctor."

He Minzhi's face changed, and he no longer cared about Xiaocao, and hurried to Ciwenyuan.

"Doctor, please think of another way. You can't just watch my aunt lie like this."

Before I even entered the door, I heard Ji Minrou's voice. Her weak voice was filled with anxiety and sounded pitiful and anxious.

He Minzhi hurried in.

The doctor, dressed in a gray, short brown suit, said, "Madam, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I'm powerless."

"You saw it just now. I tried the acupuncture and took the medicine, but there was no improvement at all. It's not that I don't want to do it."

"For an illness as serious as your aunt's, it must have been Doctor Xu from the Jishan Hall who helped her manage it. Now that the old illness has recurred, only Doctor Xu from the Jishan Hall can handle it. I am powerless to do anything."

"You should go to Jishan Hall and invite Doctor Xu as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you delay, even if your aunt is cured, she will still have some serious sequelae."

"But my aunt..."

"Rou'er, since the doctor has said there's nothing he can do, don't make things difficult for him."

Ji Minrou was about to speak anxiously, but He Minzhi came in quickly and interrupted her.

Then he turned around and told Mother Huang: "Send the doctor out and give him two taels of silver as a reward for his hard work."

The doctor breathed a sigh of relief and expressed his gratitude repeatedly.

You won’t let me pay for the money, right?

Mother Huang seemed to be hesitant to speak, and finally sighed and sent the doctor out.

"Cousin, what should we do?" Ji Minrou acted anxiously and threw herself into He Minzhi's arms.

"Now, except for Doctor Xu from Jishan Hall, no one can cure my aunt, but Doctor Xu refuses to see her. What's going on? Is he going to watch my aunt..."

"No, there are so many doctors in the capital. It's not like Xu is the only one who can cure diseases and save lives, right? The other doctors are not just there to eat for free."

He Minzhi interrupted her ominous words, but it sounded more like self-consolation.

The He family changed five or six doctors in one night before they managed to wake Liu up. However, she was frequently short of breath and almost suffocated several times.

Liu covered her heart and cursed He Minzhi for being unfilial, blaming him for not going to Jishan Hall to invite Doctor Xu over and not buying her some Qi-regulating pills.

Shunqi Pills are the medicine she has been taking. Although the name is simple, it is a good medicine that can ensure her smooth breathing.

However, due to the complicated production process and the extremely rare medicinal materials, it is expensive.

However, even this medicine, which costs ten taels of gold per pill, is often in short supply.

Because for people who are truly rich and powerful, a medicine like this can save their lives, so what is a mere ten taels of gold?

He Minzhi didn't dare to say directly that Doctor Xu was unwilling to see the patient, let alone say that his family had no money.

The little money he had left was used up to pay for medicine from the doctor tonight.

Since he couldn't say any of this, he had to keep silent and let Liu beat and scold him.

Ji Minrou was beside her, comforting her softly.

"Aunt, my cousin really can't be blamed for what happened today. He didn't want to do it, he..."

Liu was so angry that she almost rolled her eyes, "You, you all get out..."

Ji Minrou cried in grievance, "Aunt, I'm sorry, Aunt, it's Rouer's fault, it's all Rouer's fault for saying the wrong thing..."

"Yes, mother, cousin Rouer also means well..." Before He Minzhi could finish her words, Liu grabbed her porcelain pillow and threw it at her.

"roll--"

He Minzhi was now completely frightened, and quickly pulled Ji Minrou away.

When Ji Minrou crawled out, she couldn't figure out why the tricks she usually used suddenly became ineffective.

She never thought that when Liu was angry, her roundabout words were just a way for He to kick her when she was down and make sarcastic remarks.

If it was a normal day, Liu or He Minzhi had some conflicts with Xue Chenyu, it would be fine. She could just say a few words to stir up trouble, making Liu or He Minzhi hate Xue Chenyu, and the matter would be over.

But today, it was because of lack of money and a life-threatening matter, and she had to choose a side between them when the mother and son were in conflict, which was like adding insult to injury.

It would be strange if he wasn't hit with a porcelain pillow.

After this commotion, Mrs. Liu began to breathe heavily again.

"Mother Huang, my medicine..."

Hear the words.

Mother Huang could only say with a bitter face that she had finished the medicine.

The main reason was that I didn't have much money on hand, so I didn't buy much last time. I was also thinking that I could get a lot of benefits from the Cui family after He Ruyi got married.

Who could have imagined such a big change would happen.

"Dressing table, drawer, underneath, rouge box..."

Mrs. Liu spoke incoherently, and Mother Huang hurriedly followed her instructions, found the last pill, and fed it to her.

As soon as Liu calmed down, she began to beat her chest and stamp her feet, crying and wailing.

"Oh my God, what sin have I committed? Giving birth to two such things—"

Huang's mother whispered to her to take care of herself, saying that if she got too angry, no one would take her place.

In the past, the He family had the wife who was the sucker and spent money and effort.

Now that the lady has been severely bullied, she has come to her senses and is no longer willing to be a scapegoat. If she gets angry again and gets hurt, I'm afraid we won't be able to find a few doctors tonight.

There would be no one who would be so stupid as to spend a lot of money to hire a doctor and buy medicine, and then stay with her and take care of her day and night without sleep.

The old lady really thought she was still the old lady as before, and she had no vision at all.

Mother Huang is already thinking about how to find a good buyer.

……

study.

He Minzhi escaped from Ciwenyuan with Ji Minrou, but he became more and more angry along the way.

When he walked in, he was so angry that his face was sullen.

"Why did you say all that to your mother? She just scolded me a few times, it won't hurt me. A mother scolds her son a few times, that's all. You knew she was not in good health, so why did you insist on making her angry?"

"But Rouer doesn't want her cousin to be scolded for no reason." She shed tears of grievance.

With her innocent appearance, she is so charming and I feel pity for her.

So as He Minzhi watched, he no longer felt angry.

"Forget it. I know you did it for my own good, but it was me who really made Mother angry. From now on, please don't say those things in front of Mother again."

Ji Minrou nodded obediently and kept snuggling into He Minzhi's arms.
