Noble Lady

Xue Chenyu struggled to stand up and salute, but Doctor Xu glanced at her and said, "With your body, forget about those conventional rituals."

"Thank you, Doctor Xu."

Xue Chenyu's eyes were filled with tears and she felt very sad.

"But I'll be frank with you."

"The He family is so heartless and ungrateful, but you, Madam He, are so affectionate and loyal. I'm only willing to see you because of your filial piety. I disdain to have anything to do with the He family!"

Xue Chenyu thanked him again and again.

Yuzhu then called for a carriage and asked Doctor Xu to go back to He Mansion together.

The crowd was talking about it, praising the filial piety and kindness of the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Wu'an.

Situ Zhen watched Xue Chenyu get on the carriage from afar, and his heart finally settled down a little.

“She did it.”

After listening to the praise, Fang Rui seemed to understand why Miss Xue did this.

When a daughter of a marquis with a great reputation wants to divorce a notorious seventh-rank Hanlin, everyone will think that this is the He family's problem.

By doing this, Miss Xue was paving the way for her own divorce;

By doing this, the master is also paving the way for the future.

Although Miss Xue didn't know her purpose, she was reaching the same destination through different paths.

Fang Rui thought to himself that these two were destined to be together.

……

He Mansion.

He Minzhi stayed with Liu for three days.

She hasn't been able to wake up. She's been given medicine, injections, and two Qi-soothing pills, but nothing has worked.

He can only keep alive by taking ginseng soup.

The doctors said that if he didn't wake up, he would probably die.

He Minzhi was extremely anxious.

Both publicly and privately, nothing can happen to my mother at this time. Otherwise, if he goes into mourning for three years after entering the Hanlin Academy, where will he find a place when he returns?

Thinking of this, he became anxious again, "Didn't Xu Chenyu say she went to ask for Doctor Xu? She's been gone for a few days, and there's not even a trace of him."

Ji Minrou also added fuel to the fire, "Could she be looking for a place to hide away?"

Xiao Cao glared at her when she heard this. "Miss, be careful with your words. Even if you don't go out, the servants will go out. Don't you think you can hear anything outside?"

"It's been rumored in the city for a long time that Doctor Xu is unwilling to come to our He family for treatment. Our wife knelt in front of Jishan Hall for a long time in order to invite Doctor Xu to come and treat her."

"If your words get out and people hear them, I'm afraid you'll get criticized."

Ji Minrou choked and said dissatisfiedly: "She was just acting, who knows if she was sincere or not?"

Xiao Cao sneered, "Madam, the old lady's daughter-in-law, has already knelt down. My cousin is the old lady's niece. The old lady has always loved you the most. Why don't you kneel down as well?"

"You!" Ji Minrou was in the wrong and could only turn around and yell at He Minzhi, "Cousin, look at her! You are such an arrogant aunt."

"Alright, stop talking." He Minzhi didn't care if they were right or wrong and just gave them twenty lashes. "Aunt Zhao, stop talking too."

Where he couldn't see, Xiaocao rolled her eyes to the sky.

As they were talking, Zhang came in quickly, holding up the hem of her skirt. "Hurry, hurry, Doctor Xu is here."

"Who did you say is here?" He Minzhi thought he had misheard at first.

Zhang said angrily, "Doctor Xu, Doctor Xu from Jishan Hall! Your wife, who was carried into the house in a sedan chair by eight men, spent three days and three nights at the entrance of Jishan Hall and finally begged Doctor Xu to come!"

Seeing that he was still in a daze, I couldn't help but push him, "What are you still standing there for? Go out and get it!"

He Minzhi woke up as if from a dream and ran out.

Ji Minrou wanted to call out to him but couldn't.

"Don't waste your time. How can you compare with a legitimate daughter of a marquis?" Xiaocao said coldly behind her.

Ji Minrou turned her head and glared at her fiercely.

After a while.

Doctor Xu came to Ciwenyuan surrounded by the crowd.

After entering the door, Xue Chenyu, supported by Yuzhu and Qiuhua, was still standing by. Doctor Xu said unhappily, "You have been kneeling at the door of Jishan Hall for three days, and I followed you here casually. Are you afraid that I will run away now?"

"No, I am not……"

"Why don't you go change your clothes and eat something? If you stay here, I won't treat my illness." Doctor Xu said with a cold face.

He Minzhi immediately urged, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and go."

Xue Chenyu didn't even bother to look at him. She just bowed to Doctor Xu and left.

But Qiuhua was left behind to guard it.

As soon as Xue Chenyu and Yuzhu, the master and servant, returned to Furongju, they took a hot bath.

The hot water has been boiled long ago, just waiting for them to come back.

The moment she soaked in the hot water, Xue Chenyu felt like she was alive again.

I haven't bathed for three days and I feel like I'm going bad all over.

After she finished showering, she hurried out to eat. The food had been prepared early. After taking a shower, she had a hot meal. She had never felt so comfortable before.

But it was not time to enjoy yet, so he quickly ate his meal and drank a cup of tea, then hurried to Ciwenyuan.

In Ciwen Hospital, He Minzhi had already been scolded by Doctor Xu.

She scolded him about the medicine, saying he was playing the piano recklessly and giving the old lady all kinds of medicine at random.

The doctor who gave the acupuncture was also scolded, but the doctor was not there, so He Minzhi was the one who bore the brunt of the anger.

"Where did we find these shoddy doctors? With their acupuncture techniques, it's good enough that they didn't cause any problems. With such mediocre skills, they actually come out to swindle people. It's a shame that some people actually fall for them."

He Minzhi, who was fooled: "..." What's the difference between this and being slapped in the face?

After scolding everyone inside and outside, Doctor Xu finally felt satisfied and began to treat the patient.

Today he also brought his female apprentice Cheng Xiyan with him.

Because of the man named He Minzhi, she also covered her face.

But he didn't look at He Minzhi well.

"Disciple, Master will tell you to insert the needle later. Remember to insert the needle quickly and don't drag your feet."

Cheng Xiyan said yes respectfully.

He Minzhi was about to act up again: "Doctor Xu, didn't you give the acupuncture yourself? Your apprentice is still a child, how can he understand it? What if something goes wrong..."

"If Lord He doesn't trust me, I can leave now."

"That's not what I meant, I just..."

"If that's not what you meant, get out of the way!" Xue Chenyu came in angrily from outside, rolled her eyes at him, and then bowed to Doctor Xu to apologize.

"I'm sorry, Doctor Xu, this guy has read too much and has become stupid. He often speaks nonsense. I hope you will forgive his mistakes and don't take it to heart."

He Minzhi's face was filled with dissatisfaction, asking who was talking nonsense?!

Xue Chenyu stared at him with a forced smile, her face clearly showing: I knelt at the door of Jishan Hall for three days before I invited this old ancestor over. If you make him run away again, you can go and invite him yourself!

He Minzhi understood her threat and immediately became obedient.
