The Great Physician

Falling in Love with You (630bookla Chapter of The Great Physician)

Yu Xue's sister waited obediently for others to wipe her face and wash her hands. Afterwards, she happily brushed her teeth while chewing on willow twigs and tooth powder. She never thought she was a fool.

The servants who helped Li Ruozhuo wash up were an old woman and two maids with their hair in pigtails; they were the old maids and servants from Zhizhitang's past.

Last night it was dark, and Zen was domineering, so they didn't get close to my sister's body.

Seeing that the old woman's gaze was somewhat flickering as she looked at her sister, Chan looked up and asked, "What, Auntie?"

The old woman quickly lowered her head.

"!"

Li Ruozhuo put the willow branch back into the tray the maid was carrying, and the old woman hurriedly took scissors to cut off the loose parts.

Zen-chan waved her hand without saying anything more: "Go set the table."

After the three of them had left, Chan whispered in Li Ruozhuo's ear, "If Auntie is monitoring my sister, she's not stupid; she'll go and report it."

"I'm not stupid."

"But you don't want others to know."

"Back in Qingyun Manor, there were people chasing us, but now it's not like that..." Li Ruozhu shook his head: "Let whoever wants to go."

Same as yesterday's answer.

Yesterday, Chan hadn't figured it out yet, and just after asking Li Ruozhuo, she heard a voice from the outer room saying, "The food is here. After you finish eating, go visit other people's homes."

Visiting other people's homes? They'd actually visit other people's homes?

"Where?"

"Go see the old lady and aunt."

The act of a junior paying respects to an elder is like the gratitude owed for a chicken; now that I have time, I should also go and pay my respects to the two of them.

Chan smiled knowingly; "You're all dressed up so beautifully."

..............................

"Mother, I will go and pay my respects to my grandmother." Qin Shi had been sitting in the banquet room for a while, and Li Shanshan came in.

Qin looked up and saw her daughter, dressed in a light pink dress, looking beautiful and charming like a lotus flower.

She nodded, looking at the lifelike green butterfly hanging in her daughter's hair, and said, "The colorful butterfly resting on the lotus flower is just right."

Qin's appearance was fair and delicate. Although Li Shan's features were not like hers, her face was more elegant and refined. People with such appearances always give the impression of being pure and kind.

Li Shan had heard others compare her to a lotus flower many times, and she was very happy to sit down next to her mother.

The attendants said, "We can't find Granny Yang anywhere."

After Yang Mama fell and knelt in the rain for so long, she fainted after Zhen Niangzi left.

Qin asked, "Will she come back and tell you what you need her for?"

Li Shan took the chopsticks handed to her by the maid: "I was thinking of having her accompany me to see my grandmother."

The Li family did not have the custom of visiting the old lady at dawn and dusk. Qin guessed that her daughter went to see the old lady because she had obtained something and wanted to give it to the old lady.

After all, that old hag never looked up to the mother and daughter.

Qin said, "It's the same if you take others. You can just go around and come back without wasting time with them."

Li Shan said, "My daughter thinks the same way, it's a pity that Aunt doesn't have a daughter."

She no longer received envious glances from young girls.

Madam Qin smiled gently: "You naughty girl, let's eat first."

The mother and daughter gracefully raised their chopsticks.

A cool breeze blew gently along the riverbank, and her light brown cloak billowed in the wind, her tall figure seemingly strolling in the breeze, as if she were walking on the water.

Zen lowered his head and touched the fabric of his clothes with his own hands, unable to put it down.

"sister……"

Li Ruozhuo turned around: "Why aren't you leaving?"

Zen touched the beaded flower on her head: "I've never worn it before, so I'm afraid to move it for fear it will fall off."

She rolled her eyes upwards, her expression extremely serious.

Li Ruozhuo couldn't help but laugh: "How can you be so ignorant? Have you never worn flowers before, or even seen anyone else wear them? They won't fall off."

Zen then caught up quickly.

They were all at the foot of the mountain: "Going fishing again? Aren't you going to see the old lady?"

"It's the old lady."

Opposite the mountain is a wooden arch bridge, which Li Ruozhuo crosses.

Zen understood that the old lady's courtyard was nearby.

She caught up with her sister and asked, "Sister, you didn't ask anyone to lead the way because you knew the way?"

"do not know."

"You don't know?! Is that the right direction?!"

"It may be right or it may not be right."

Zen:"……"

Her almond-shaped eyes curved into a smile as she asked, "Do you know that people might see you while you're taking a walk, sis?"

The two had already crossed the bridge. Not far away, two red pine trees were revealing the eaves of a side building.

Li Ruozhuo pointed at it: "I actually found it."

Zen frowned, puzzled: "You are indeed the old lady's courtyard."

"It's because you saw the aunt (grandmother) by the pond, but there was no other way."

It turned out to be the case.

Chan blinked her bright eyes and said, "This servant thought you were just guessing, sister."

Li Ruozhuo tapped his forehead: "Use your brain."

The two walked like two red pine trees until a red brick road came into view.

Walk thirty steps down the road and you'll find a passageway on your right, facing south. Neatly arranged along the walls on both sides of the passageway are over thirty bonsai plants, but their shapes are not only messy but also lack any aesthetic appeal.

There was no one guarding the passageway, so Li Ruozhuo and Chan walked in one after the other.

There were originally two artificial hills and rocks, as well as ten birdcages hanging from golden hooks under various low wooden corridors.

"My sister loves raising birds."

Li Ruozhuo nodded slightly.

The two went down the steps to the main room, where a scarlet curtain with a picture of five blessings hung at the entrance. There were no servants beside it.

Chan looked around and then turned to her sister: "Why is nobody here?"

Li Ruozhuo held the carved wooden box in her hands and nodded towards the door.

Chan murmured and took small steps to the door. Through the curtain, she asked, "Madam, this servant Chan has come to pay her respects."

A voice came from inside the house: "Wait a moment."

Before long, a middle-aged woman with slender eyebrows, long eyes, and fair skin stepped out: "Are you Chan?" Her voice was merely questioning, without any hint of impatience.

Seeing that the woman was quite kind, Chan turned to Li Ruozhuo and said, "Sister-in-law, come and pay your respects to the old lady."

The woman smiled and walked up to Li Ruozhuo, curtsied, and said, "This servant, Yingui, greets you, sister."

Even without her introduction, Li Ruozhuo could guess from her neat and tidy appearance that she was a prominent figure in the eyes of Old Madam Li.

A slight nod was a gesture of return.

Chan came over and asked, "Can you go see the old lady, Sister-in-law?"

Granny Gui said, "Just call me Granny Gui."

Chan stuck out her tongue: "Granny Gui."

Granny Gui said, "Unfortunately, the eldest aunt (grandmother) went over there last night because the old lady was ill."

Chan said, "What a coincidence." Then she turned to her older sister.

Li Ruozhuo nodded slightly.

Chan then handed the wooden box in her hand to Granny Gui: "This is a gift from my sister to the old lady. Please pass it on to her."

Each courtyard in Musi was equipped with such gifts. Even Granny Gui hadn't expected the gifts to be so valuable. She accepted one under her arm and smiled, saying, "This servant thanks you on behalf of the old lady, sister."

Li Ruozhuo nodded slightly.

Chan said, "Then we'll resign."

Chan and Granny Gui bowed and, as they turned and rushed toward the gate, a group of people approached and asked, "Granny Gui, I'm here to see where my grandmother's room is?"

It was Li Xiaoshan who arrived with her maids and servants.

The way to
