The Great Physician

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

After Granny Yang left, Chan paced back and forth in the room anxiously.

"Sister, what should I do? Madam has her eye on me. If I don't go this time, will she come looking for me herself? What should I do?"

Li Ruozhuo said to her, "Your departure is giving me a headache. Once you calm down, I'll tell you what to do."

Chan's eyes widened: "You really have a way?" She hurriedly ran to sit down next to her.

Li Ruozhuo turned his head to look at her: "Are you in a hurry?"

Chan pointed to the corner of her mouth: "It's going to get sore." She was really worried because her mouth was covered in blisters.

Li Ruozhuo pointed to the cabinet: "Forgot the clothes I had you try on earlier? That's the solution."

Chan looked up at Li Ruozhuo and suddenly said, "Are you telling me to run away wearing those clothes? So that no one will recognize me?"

Li Ruozhuo: "..."

She suddenly realized that Chan had a very rich imagination.

She said, "First of all, the madam won't come to summon you personally because she is the madam. Secondly, she's definitely looking for revenge, not a reward. But no one in the courtyard can subdue you, so she can only trick you into going. Now you've clearly stated that you won't go..."

"Won't she make things difficult for me?"

Li Ruozhuo pursed her lips: "Dream on. She'll find other ways, like thinking you're naive and deceiving her, and then not letting you go to her yard or anywhere else."

Chan's eyes widened: "Then I won't go anywhere else."

Li Ruozhuo shook his head; "This time you go, and it's not just you going..."

"Sis, you're going too?"

Li Ruozhuo: "..."

She said to Chan, "Let me finish first."

Chan nodded.

Li Ruozhuo continued, "I noticed that the clothes we brought back belong to the maids in Madam's courtyard, so you changed into those clothes and went to the outer courtyard to find the sect leader's servant, which is why Madam made an appointment with him."

"But Madam didn't make an appointment with the sect leader! Are you asking me to lie?"

Li Ruozhuo nodded: "I think after your refusal just now, Madam will choose a quiet place to meet you in the evening. After you know the location, you should agree and then go to find the Sect Master and take the Sect Master with you. Remember, on the way there, you should walk in front of the Sect Master and lead the way for him. When you arrive at the place, the Sect Master is of high status and you should walk in front and let the Sect Master pass first. Do you understand?"

Chan rolled her eyes and nodded.

Li Ruozhuo said, "We must not be careless. Not only will we not suffer losses, but we will also be able to turn the tide. If you are careless, the effect will be greatly reduced."

Chan hurriedly replied, "This servant will remember."

Although the girl doesn't like to use her brain, she is obedient.

Li Ruozhuo said, "Then we'll wait for Granny Yang to come and invite you again." He then curled his lips into a smile, his eyes, like springs, curving into lines—a cunning and treacherous grin.

Anyone who knows her will know she's up to no good again.

After the afternoon nap, Granny Yang indeed came again.

It still looked like spring was in full bloom.

"Chan, Madam, you have too much prejudice against her. It should be resolved through family conflicts. Since you don't believe in Madam's sincerity, Madam didn't hold a banquet in the courtyard, but in the Fengye Pavilion in the back garden. The chrysanthemums haven't even faded yet. Madam arranged all the flowers in the courtyard there and even bought crabs the size of plates, all for you. You can't refuse to do her a favor."

Chan looked surprised: "Does Madam really care about me?"

"Of course, you haven't spent time with Madam, so you don't understand. Madam is a young girl like you, with a fresh heart and a gentle spirit."

Chan thought of how the madam glared at her, especially when the sect leader was around; she never gave her a hard time.

She nodded and said, "It's just that if I go to Madam's courtyard, not everyone there will be Madam's people. Everyone can see me in the pavilion, so I'm not afraid."

When Yang Mama heard this, she laughed and thought that Madam's prediction was indeed correct. The girl was so stubborn that she thought Madam's courtyard was a den of dragons and tigers and refused to go there.

But the entire Li family is under the Madam's control. Even the back garden, which people often pass by, is a place the Madam can arrange at will, and it's not exactly safe.

Granny Wang repeatedly reminded you, "Then don't forget that I'll come to pick you up when it gets dark."

Chan didn't ask her why it got dark.

He said, "I can go by myself without your help. You're just being kind. I remember you asked Madam to save some food for me. I've never had crabs before, so I don't know what they taste like. How about you prepare some chicken, duck, or fish? I've eaten all of those before."

So if she doesn't eat crabs, she has other options.

I wonder who trained the maid to be so picky about food when others are treating her to meals.

Granny Yang: "..."

Chan agreed to keep the appointment, but Granny Yang walked with a limp.

As she walked away, Chan couldn't contain her excitement and went back to the inner room: "Sister really asked me out, really asked me out, and it really is tonight."

Yes, setting a trap at night can also deceive people.

Li Ruozhuo whispered, "Change your clothes and go to the outer courtyard to find the sect leader's servant. The lady is having a crab feast, where you can admire chrysanthemums and drink chrysanthemum wine. Please invite the master over. Make sure you know the time and place clearly, and don't get them wrong."

Chan had already memorized the instructions perfectly and agreed to go change her clothes.

(Sun) The setting star, a silver crescent, slowly moved eastward from the treetops above the entrance to Zhizhi Hall. Chan, following her sister's instructions, set off from the back door, chasing the moon's direction to the crescent-shaped gate in the back garden. Suddenly, she heard footsteps behind her.

"Be careful what you say to adults..."

The two people who came were Li Xunda and a servant, one behind the other, carrying octagonal lanterns.

Chan hid behind the doorway and waited for Li Xunda to come in.

She jumped out; "My lord!" and then chuckled foolishly.

Li Xunda, clutching his chest and catching his breath: "..."

"What are you doing here?" he asked Chan.

Chan took the lantern from the servant's hand: "Sir, it was the lady who invited me to eat crabs and admire the moon. I served my sister well, so why are you here too?"

Li Xunda saw that although the girl was a bit clumsy, her smile was pure and cute, and she even showed two playful tiger teeth.

He waved his hand at the servant behind him; "You may leave."

Si Nuonuo said that she was leaving the crescent-shaped gate.

Li Xunda said to Chan, "Madam Gang also asked me to come over, we're going the same way."

Chan harbors a treacherous heart.

Li Xunda smiled at her and said, "What are you laughing at?" He was clearly in a very easygoing mood.

Chan immediately replied, "No, this servant was thinking of Madam. Madam, you flatter me. I misunderstood Madam yesterday."

Li Xunda nodded: "That's how it should be. You've done a good job taking care of Azhuo. Logically, Azhuo should also call you 'Madam' or 'Mother'."

Men all hope to have wives and concubines. Although Li Xunda did not have wives and concubines, he had children with two women.

Chan secretly pursed her lips, thinking, "You won't be like that later."

She walked ahead carrying a lantern, saying, "Sir, let me light your way."

As soon as Li Xunda finished speaking, Zichan walked away, her slender figure carrying the lantern further and further away, leaving no light for him to follow.

"Silly girl." Li Xunda chuckled helplessly as he groped his way through the darkness.

The way to
