Chapter 228 He's Really Sick
Meanwhile, Su Yue remained smiling, calmly watching the doctor without saying a word, as if everything was under her control.
The doctor withdrew his hand and bowed to Lord Gu, saying, "Your Excellency, judging from the pulse, the Third Young Master is weak and needs to rest well and avoid overexertion."
"See? I told you it was nothing serious! I just need some rest. It's all fine now, so I'm going back to rest. Don't call me over so early in the morning anymore, or I'll get weak if I don't get enough rest."
"Oh dear! I'll have to trouble the doctor to come back with me so I can tell my men how they can recover." Su Yue got up from her chair and leaned against Dali.
After taking one last look at the doctor, he left.
"My lord, I shall take my leave now." The physician bowed slightly, then slung his slightly worn medicine box over his shoulder and followed closely behind Su Yue as they slowly left the front hall.
"Hmm, go down!" Lord Gu sat upright in his chair, his face ashen, thinking to himself: I thought he was just pretending to be sick, but I didn't expect him to be really sick.
Alas, it seems I truly misunderstood him. In that case, I must take good care of him.
Thinking of this, Lord Gu couldn't help but stand up, preparing to go to the storeroom to find some nourishing ingredients to replenish his body.
Su Yue, on the other side, stopped after walking through the front hall. Dali reached into his bag and pulled out a large piece of gold.
Without hesitation, she stuffed the gold into the doctor's hand.
Su Yue lowered her voice and said, "Doctor, you naturally know what should be said and what should not be said, right?" As she spoke, Su Yue still had that seemingly kind smile on her face, but her eyes revealed a hint of threat.
The doctor was startled by the sudden appearance of gold, but after seeing what he held in his hand, he was so astonished that he couldn't close his mouth.
He nervously accepted the gold and stammered, "Yes...yes, I understand. I don't know anything. I'll take my leave now."
If the Third Young Master needs anything in the future, he may simply send someone to fetch me.
After saying this, the doctor fled the Gu residence in a hurry, looking frightened, like a startled rabbit.
In fact, when the doctor carefully placed his fingers on Su Yue's wrist to take her pulse...
Su Yue's lips curled up slightly as she subtly circulated her spiritual power and silently channeled it into the doctor's body.
In an instant, the doctor felt as if he were tightly bound by an invisible force, and his body was completely unable to move at all.
At the same time, Su Yue's eyes, clear as autumn water yet carrying a hint of coldness, stared directly at the doctor, conveying a clear message.
Lang Zhong was suddenly startled, because the moment the spiritual energy invaded his body, he clearly felt that if he dared to disobey the wishes of the person in front of him, today would probably be the day he died.
At this critical moment, the doctor did not hesitate at all.
For him, preserving his own life was clearly far more important than upholding so-called honesty.
After all, this is a matter of life and death!
Moreover, he had no desire to get involved in the intricate affairs within such a large family.
I still feel terrified just thinking about it. I had such bad luck today. Why did I have to run into the Gu family looking for a doctor on my way to make a house call?
Fortunately, he has now escaped with his life by sheer luck. However, the person impersonating the third young master of the Gu family is far too terrifying. Taking his life would be as easy as turning one's hand, simpler than crushing an ant.
Here, Lord Gu strode into the storeroom and immediately began rummaging through the chests and cabinets, carefully selecting items.
He muttered to himself, nodding in praise from time to time: "Hmm, this century-old ginseng is truly a rare and precious thing. We can take it back and give it to that child to help him replenish his vital energy."
"Hey! This bird's nest looks to be of excellent quality. I imagine that child must have suffered a lot these past years traveling around. We should send him some to nourish his body."
And so, Lord Gu picked up a deer antler and praised it highly, saying, "Ah, this deer antler is quite good..."
A moment later, someone started muttering, "This one's not bad either..."
When Su Yue staggered into the courtyard, the scene before her left her speechless.
The courtyard was densely packed with all sorts of items, leaving almost no room to step.
At first, Su Yue was full of suspicion, thinking that it was that vicious Jiang woman who had sent it again.
Pointing to the mountain of things, he jogged over to Gu Yuan's side and asked in confusion, "What... what exactly is going on here?"
Seeing Su Yue's nervous expression, Gu Yuan smiled slightly and explained softly, "Don't be alarmed, these are all specially sent by the Marquis to nourish your body."
However, Su Yue was skeptical of this explanation.
You know, that Lord Gu was extremely picky about her and treated her with disdain, so why would he suddenly be so kind as to send her so many things?
Seeing that Su Yue still had an incredulous expression, Gu Yuan sighed helplessly and continued, "No matter what, she's still my biological daughter."
Upon hearing this, Su Yue was slightly taken aback, but quickly regained her composure.
After a moment of contemplation, Su Yue put her hands on her hips and said casually, "In that case, alright! Let's move all these things to the storeroom and cook some every day to nourish our bodies."
After saying that, she raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile.
In fact, Su Yue didn't care about these so-called supplements at all.
In her space, there were countless thousand-year-old ginsengs, which she didn't even bother to glance at, let alone a mere hundred-year-old ginseng.
On this particular day, the sun was shining brightly and a gentle breeze was blowing. Su Yue was about to climb over the wall to go outside again.
However, just as she climbed to the middle of the wall, a scene suddenly flashed through her mind: yesterday she had kidnapped the wrong person at the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion, and she had even sworn that she would bring gifts to apologize to them!
Thinking of this, Su Yue couldn't help but feel uneasy: Oh dear, I wonder if that steward has already told the Prince of Zhenbei about this?
If he finds out, how am I supposed to gossip at the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion next time...?
After much deliberation, Su Yue finally decided to stay home for the day and see how things went.
And so, Su Yue reluctantly returned to the small courtyard. But spending all day in this tiny courtyard was truly boring.
