CHAPTER 107: CHAPTER 107 MISS CHAI’S OTHER ILLNESS (2)

"As long as the illness is cured, everything can be discussed!"

"Wait! I need to discuss it with my family."

"Please hurry up."

"I won’t delay your matter!"

Li Yuzhu squinted, listening to the conversation outside.

Beside her, the Great Princess immediately moved over, "Li Yuzhu, someone wants you to see a patient, offering a consultation fee of ten or eight taels. Quickly agree."

The Second Princess also nodded, her eyes gleaming, "That’s a lot of money."

Whether ten taels or eight taels, it equaled the herbal medicine they had dug for two months.

"Third brother must have gone to ask father, let’s wait a bit." Li Yuzhu said.

"I’ll go and urge." The Great Princess said.

She dropped her cloth bag and shovel used for collecting herbs and walked out of the wild grass onto the road.

Their barren land was right next to the new house.

The Great Princess glanced at that person and walked into the courtyard of the new house to find Prince Luling.

At that time, Li Xing’an was also talking with Prince Luling.

Prince Luling didn’t object, "It’s a matter of life and death, go ahead, the third will go with you."

Li Xing’an was very happy, "Yes, father."

The Second Young Master wanted to go too, but was scolded by Prince Luling, "Today’s procedures are busy, just one person is enough."

The Second Young Master sighed, "Got it." He glared at the pleased Li Xing’an.

The Great Princess walked over, whispering a reminder to Li Xing’an, "Third brother, the third sister is honest, don’t just take eight taels, get ten taels!"

Two more taels of silver, and she could dig fewer herbs for half a month.

Li Xing’an chuckled, "Of course."

He walked outside the courtyard of the new house, and Li Yuzhu also walked out of the grass at this time.

"Third sister, someone from the Chai Family is requesting you to see Miss Chai." Li Xing’an shouted to her.

The servant hadn’t seen Li Yuzhu before, and upon hearing her name, immediately came over with cupped hands and said, "Please, Miss Li, save our Miss Chai."

Li Yuzhu remembered yesterday’s incident and asked, "I saw your Miss Chai yesterday; she was fine then. Why is she ill now?"

The servant was an old man, he sighed, "After venting and running out yesterday, we found her at night. By midnight, she fell ill. She says Miss Li is skilled and asked me to urgently request your presence."

The body was already weak, what kind of fuss was this?

"Alright, I’ll go with you to see her."

"Ah, thank you, Miss Li." The servant thanked.

The servant came driving a mule cart, but Li Xing’an and Li Yuzhu didn’t sit in his cart; they followed with a hand-pushed cart instead.

Luckily, it was only four miles, taking about half an hour to walk.

The place was still in Taohua River Village.

"Here we are, please, both of you, come in." The servant got off the mule cart and went to knock on the courtyard door.

Soon, the door was opened, and an elderly woman came out saying, "Old man, you’re back, Miss Chai has been throwing a tantrum."

"I have brought the person here, go and inform Miss Chai."

The elderly woman glanced at Li Yuzhu and turned to walk quickly inside.

Li Yuzhu examined the surroundings; the courtyard was built on the edge of the village, occupying a large area, even bigger than the new mansion of Prince Luling’s family.

The courtyard walls were brick-built, looking inside the dozen rooms, all were white walls and black tiles.

No wonder everyone knew the Chai Family; among their walk, this mansion was the most ostentatious.

Li Xing’an parked the small cart by the courtyard gate, helping Li Yuzhu off the cart.

The old servant entered the courtyard and called over a laborer to look after the cart outside, then led Li Yuzhu and her brother into the mansion.

Passing through the central hall, they arrived at the back yard.

Miss Chai’s room was in the east side annex.

Not yet entering the room, Li Yuzhu heard Miss Chai loudly scolding the elderly woman inside, "Didn’t I tell you? Don’t put dates in chicken meat, I hate eating dates!"

"The doctor said eating dates is good for your health."

"But I don’t like dates in the chicken!"

Li Xing’an frowned, thinking this girl was really pampered. Someday, when the family’s dowry dwindles, she’ll realize how awful red date chicken soup is.

He used to even despise ginseng medicinal soup. A hundred taels a bowl of ginseng soup, he fed it to the second young master’s Wangcai without a word.

Ah, the past is unbearable to recall.

"It’s in this room, Miss Li, please come in." The old servant nodded to Li Yuzhu.

Li Xing’an didn’t go in; he found a chair and sat outside Miss Chai’s bedroom waiting.

"Third sister, I’m outside waiting for you, call me if you need anything."

"Got it." Li Yuzhu entered the bedroom.

The bedroom was very spacious, yet its furnishings weren’t extravagant.

Inside was an ordinary wooden frame bed, beside the bed was a two-door small cabinet, in front of the bed was a round table with four chairs, and no other items.

By the way the room was set up, it was better than the villagers’ homes but far behind some wealthy houses.

Even worse than the servant’s quarters in Lu Ling Royal Mansion.

"You’ve come?" On the bed, Miss Chai, skinny and pale, nodded lightly at Li Yuzhu.

The elderly woman, seeing her walk over, brought a stool and placed it in front of the bed.

The old servant brought a basin of hot water and placed it on the frame before leaving.

Li Yuzhu sat down and began checking Miss Chai’s pulse.

Checking the pulse was for Miss Chai to see, her space CT machine had already been activated, scanning Miss Chai’s body thoroughly.

Thyroid enlargement, breathing difficulties, no wonder she fainted.

Surgery was needed.

Li Yuzhu was about to explain the treatment situation to her when Miss Chai suddenly grasped her hand, "Fully recover within two days and I will surely reward you generously!"

Beside her, the elderly woman sighed, "Miss Chai, what illness fully recovers in two days? As the saying goes, illness comes like a mountain falling, it leaves like silk drawn, this illness..."

"No, I just want to recover!" Miss Chai widened her eyes, "The day after tomorrow is the good day for those despicable people, how can I let them succeed?"

The elderly woman hastily waved her hands, "Miss Chai, don’t say such things, if the eldest young master’s people hear, they’ll seize you to lock you up. I and the old man begged for a long time, only then did Chai Liang agree to release you."

"Eldest young master? For the sake of obtaining the Chai family’s fortune, he even deceives his sister!" Miss Chai gritted her teeth, "I will die but go! Don’t try to persuade me!"

The elderly woman glanced at Li Yuzhu, looking embarrassed.

Li Yuzhu looked at Miss Chai, "Miss Chai, is going there going to help? Going there won’t change Mr. Luo’s mind; he’ll only say you don’t understand."

"What do you know? What do you understand? How dare you say that to me?" Miss Chai’s face turned red with anger, panting heavily, "Everyone is calculating against me, including my supposedly good eldest brother Eldest Young Master Chai! And my good stepfather Second Master Chai! Rip off their masks, and you’ll see how vile they are!"

Li Yuzhu blinked, was Miss Chai’s illness serious not just because of the canceled engagement but also because of something else?

If her mental knot isn’t resolved, even with surgery the illness might relapse.

"You didn’t say, so of course I don’t know." Li Yuzhu raised her eyebrows slightly.
