The Great Physician

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

The maids and servants in the east wing of Danxi Courtyard knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe loudly.

Qin Shi swept her eyes across their faces with uncontrollable rage: "You bunch of good-for-nothings! The eldest sister of the Li family was beaten by a mere servant. How did you all protect her? Drag them all out and give them twenty strokes of the cane each!"

These people were Li Shan's personal servants: four maids and four old women.

The maids and servants dared not let it go.

When the time came to pay respects, Yang Mama, who was already there but was still injured, said, "Madam, you have suffered some injustice. People will be serving you later. If you are injured, you will only be a burden."

Qin thought for a moment and picked out two people she didn't like to have dragged away.

Then immediately reprimand the rest.

The servants retreated listlessly like mice caught by a cat. Qin turned around and took the medicine bowl from Yang Mama's hand: "Daughter, drink your medicine first. That wretched girl was so rough. Don't let it cause any lasting illness."

It is common for practitioners to get injured.

Although Li Shan vomited blood, it was due to qi stagnation, and she knew she was not seriously injured.

But the medicines that could regulate qi were all expensive and helpful for cultivation, so she stopped crying and slowly drank them.

Qin handed the medicine bowl to Granny Yang, who limped and placed it back on the round table behind the floor screen.

Inside was Li Shan's boudoir. To the east of the entrance was a chaise lounge, and against the wall stood a pair of embossed cabinets. The other side of the cabinets was directly against the floor-to-ceiling screen.

A floor-to-ceiling screen divides the room into two sections. Behind the bamboo curtain is a canopy bed with a white background and lotus flower pattern painted on the top.

The bed curtains were made of light pink gauze, and a stick of incense from Tonglu sat on a coral shelf beside the bed, its faint fragrance wafting through the air.

The furnishings are exactly the kind of warm and comfortable atmosphere a young woman's boudoir should have.

Granny Yang pushed aside the bamboo curtain and returned to the bedside, looking at Madam Qin with a resentful expression, and asked, "Madam, how should this matter be handled?"

Qin Shiyan Li Shan.

Li Shan lay on the bed and cried again: "How dare a servant hit me? I'm practically skin and bones now, what face do I have to live?"

Granny Yang advised, "Eldest sister, don't be sad. That girl doesn't know her place, so no one will dare to laugh at you."

"Nobody here? What's a joke? We'll fight."

Yes, a maid can't just hit the eldest sister in the house, can she?

Qin sat down and helped Li Shan up: "Don't cry, of course we can't just let this go."

Li Shan angrily confronted her mother: "But that maid's cultivation is higher than mine. Who besides Father can beat her? But Father is currently on Father's side. Will he stand up for me?"

The difficulty lies in the fact that Madam Zhen had just visited, and Li Xunda's attitude towards Li Ruozhuo had changed. They were not allowed to interfere, and that maid herself was skilled in cultivation but did not know the rules. She dared to fight back even when her master made a move. How could you possibly confront her head-on?

Li Xunda also values ​​her highly.

Moreover, we've already asked the servants what happened. If they don't retaliate, it might really get into a serious matter and even involve Princess Caiyun's gift.

Therefore, seeking help from Li Xunda is not a wise choice at all.

That can't be calculated that way.

Qin said, "Don't worry, Mother has a way."

Li Shan stopped her crying mother; "What's the solution?"

Granny Yang also came over.

Qin said, "No matter how high her cultivation is, she can't fight off four hands with two fists." She then said to Granny Yang, "Go to the outer courtyard and find a fisherman and call over a few strong and capable old women."

"The old fisherwoman?" Granny Yang murmured in confusion.

Li Xiaoshan's almond-shaped eyes lit up instantly: "I know."

Qin sneered, "That's exactly what I'll do. I'll lure her into the courtyard and trap her. I don't believe she can escape. She'll be completely at my mercy then."

He sounded somewhat smug at the end.

Granny Yang nodded repeatedly.

Li Xiaoshan thought for a moment and said, "Mother, how exactly are you going to deal with her? Are you just going to give her a beating?"

"No." Qin raised her hand, her gaze resolute as if tempered with ice: "That brat has fifth-level cultivation. I've seen Li Ruozhuo before; she's foolish, but not to the point where we can let our guard down. Clearly, that brat is her ally and must be eliminated."

When Granny Yang saw that Madam Qin had murderous intent towards Chan, she trembled. Thinking of the strange and eccentric manner of the girl in the humble room yesterday, she didn't seem so stupid.

Why did she hold back? After all, the madam has seen it all and everyone thinks she's foolish. Is she more shrewd than the madam?

Li Xiaoshan understood the implication in her mother's words and her eyes flickered as she asked, "Mother, if you really get rid of her, how will you explain it to Father?"

"Explain?" Qin thought to herself that the dead cannot be brought back to life. Although Li Xunda would be angry, he would never do anything to his wife and daughter like he did yesterday.

She smiled and said, "Don't worry, leave everything to Mother."

…………

Various clothes hung on ropes in the open space, swaying in the wind like colorful flags from all over the world.

The surrounding rooms were made of black bricks and tiles, and the paper with a cross-shaped grid pattern was blackened and old, clearly the living quarters of servants.

Two thin women were washing clothes under the eaves of the south-facing wing room.

Li Ruozhuo and Chan quietly moved between the last two rows of ropes. In front of the emerald green padded jacket, Li Ruozhuo touched it dry and put it into his arms.

Chan grinned just as Li Ruozhuo turned around and gestured for her to pack up.

Chan paused, lost in thought, and turned back.

The two then went out through the side door of the west wing and left the laundry room.

Finally reaching a secluded corner, Chan breathed a sigh of relief, biting her lip as she looked at the clothes in Li Ruozhuo's arms: "Sister, why did you steal other people's clothes again?"

"It's not stealing what's in your own home."

It's not my own; it's someone else's hand-me-down.

Chanyu was talking to her older sister.

Li Ruozhuo, holding the clothes, didn't wave to Chan and said, "Go back first."

There was no one in the courtyard of Zhizhitang, so they didn't need to think about it. They might go to visit familiar places or hide in some room to slack off.

Li Ruozhuo and Chan returned to their room.

Li Ruozhuo's room was a suite with an outer room and a wooden kang (heated brick bed) facing north, used to entertain guests. Other furniture was also provided.

Beyond the partition is the inner room, which also has a north-facing kang (heated brick bed) facing south. There is a chaise longue (a type of chaise lounge) on the west wall. Four vertical scrolls with large characters on them are the notes of unknown people.

Below the scroll are a flat table, a grand master's chair, and the Four Treasures of the Study.

None of these arrangements were made by Li Ruozhuo; perhaps previous residents had some of his habits.

Li Ruozhu threw the stolen clothes onto the chaise lounge and called to Chan, "Change."

Chan's eyes widened; "You stole it for me? But I have clothes to wear!"

Li Ruozhuo said, "Change into it first, or you'll be in trouble if the Qin family comes after you."

But can changing clothes really prevent bad luck? Chan's gaze became confused.

The way to
