Chapter 339 Madam Dou is ill

"Who are you?" Hu Xiner asked with raised eyebrows.

Seeing her unusual attire, the little beggar showed a look of fear and dread, and said timidly, "I... Doctor Dou asked me to deliver a message."

Hearing the name "Doctor Dou", Hu Xin'er was no longer so nervous and smiled at the little beggar, "I am Hu Xin'er. Doctor Dou, what do you want to tell me?"

The little beggar stammered, "Doctor Dou said that Madam Dou has been ill these past few days, so the manuscript will be submitted later. I hope Boss Hu won't mind."

"What? She is sick? What disease does she have?" Hu Xiner frowned. Madam Dou seemed to be in good spirits when she came back last time. Why is she sick now?

The little beggar thought she was angry and fell to his knees in fear. "Please don't blame me, my lord. Madam Dou is really ill and can't even get out of bed. When she recovers, she will definitely finish the manuscript."

Hu Xin'er was stunned by this sudden action and hurried forward to help him up: "No, no, no, get up and talk. I won't blame her."

The little beggar wanted to kowtow to him, but she pulled him up.

Seeing the little beggar with tears in his eyes due to fear, Hu Xiner felt surprised and distressed, but also a little amused.

The Dou family has done her a favor, and Madam Dou is one of the main authors of Mu Xin Comics Shop. She is not Zhou Paopi, so how could she possibly blame Madam Dou?

The little beggar's clothes were covered in dust. When Hu Xin'er helped the little beggar up, his sleeves were inevitably stained with dirt.

The little beggar looked at her warm smile and was in a trance for a moment. Then he looked at her sleeve tremblingly and wanted to kowtow again: "I deserve to die. I shouldn't have offended you..."

However, what he didn't expect was that the nobleman in front of him actually rubbed his head gently: "Okay, don't be afraid, I have a good temper. Who are you to Doctor Dou? Why have I never seen you before?"

The little beggar thought he was going to be whipped, but he was treated so gently by Hu Xin'er. He tilted his head in confusion and said subconsciously: "I, I am Wang Xiaogou."

Doctor Dou often treated patients and was willing to give people money for medicine on credit. This little beggar might be one of the people he helped.

Hu Xin'er guessed this and pulled the little beggar's sleeve without any disdain: "Let's go, let's go see Madam Dou."

The little beggar followed her for a few steps in a daze, and suddenly asked, "Madam Dou is ill. Aren't you afraid that she will pass on her illness to you?"

"Don't keep calling him a noble." Hu Xin'er rubbed his head. "Have you ever been bullied by someone powerful before? Why are you so scared?"

The little beggar closed his mouth and stopped talking, but he would secretly glance at her from time to time.

Hu Xiner wanted to chat with him, but he didn't say anything and seemed a little scared.

"Is Madam Dou seriously ill?" Hu Xiner asked as they walked.

Seeing the little beggar nod, her heart sank.

A thought suddenly flashed through his mind... Could it be that the prince couldn't find the right opportunity to take action, so he turned his vicious hand to Madam Dou?

Thinking of this, her pace suddenly quickened a lot.

After the two of them walked a few steps, a figure suddenly appeared. He turned around and waved a fan. Who else could this arrogant guy be but Yin Liyou?

"Where are you two going secretly?" He took a step forward and followed.

Hu Xin'er was already used to his mysterious appearances, so she wasn't too surprised.

Yin Li used a fan to tease the little beggar. The little beggar looked at this strange white-haired brother and immediately showed a frightened expression.

"Stop it." Hu Xin'er was speechless. "Why are you bullying even children?"

Yin Li was not annoyed. She smiled at Hu Xin'er and said, "Hey, little girl, are you really not afraid of death? How dare you go out at this time?"

Hu Xin'er was in no mood to joke with him at the moment, so she said directly, "I have something important to do, so please stop talking for now."

Seeing her serious expression, Yin Li said angrily, "Okay then..."

The little beggar led the two of them all the way to the downtown area. The Dou family's thatched cottage showed signs of renovation, but it still looked very simple, and was a far cry from the Liu Mansion.

Inside the room, Madam Dou was lying sickly on the bed, her face pale.

Doctor Dou was taking care of him carefully.

When she saw Hu Xin'er come in, Madam Dou immediately struggled to get up: "Boss Hu, why are you here?"

Hu Xin'er heard her weak voice and said hurriedly, "Madam Dou, there's no need to be so polite. Just lie down first. Your health is more important!"

Madam Dou struggled to prop up half her body. Doctor Dou hurried forward and said with a hint of blame: "I told you a long time ago that you shouldn't move too much or worry too much, but you insisted on not following the doctor's advice!"

Hu Xin'er also stepped forward and said, "Madam Dou, please lie down first. I came here just to see you, not to rush you to finish your manuscript."

Madam Dou's eyes reddened as she said self-reproachfully, "It's my fault. I delayed the business of the shop."

"What are you talking about?" Hu Xin'er deliberately pretended to be unhappy. "I am Old Man Dou's goddaughter. We are all related. If you say that, you are treating me as an outsider!"

Madam Dou said quickly, "I'm not good at speaking. I'm just worried because I can't help the shop anymore... Alas!"

"Come to think of it, why did you suddenly fall ill?" Hu Xiner asked with concern.

"I just caught a cold..." Madam Dou started to speak when she was interrupted by Doctor Dou.

Doctor Dou, holding a bowl in his hand, said helplessly to Hu Xin'er, "Boss Hu, speaking of this matter, you really need to persuade her! She works late into the night, revising it over and over again. This illness is simply caused by overwork!"

"Why are you saying these things?" Madam Dou slapped his hand and said anxiously. "Boss Hu is so kind to us, so I should work hard."

Hu Xin'er felt very distressed: "You can never make enough money, and you have to take good care of your health."

Doctor Dou looked unhappy, but in fact he said with great concern, "Come, have some porridge."

Hu Xiner frowned slightly.

Although the porridge bowl was replaced with a new one, the porridge inside was very bland.

The couple had a very good relationship, so it was impossible that Doctor Dou treated Madam Dou badly. It only meant that the Dou family's current financial situation was very bad.

But……

Hu Xin'er asked softly, "Madam Dou, you have a lot of royalties and dividends, why are you reluctant to spend them even when you're sick? And this house..."

Madam Dou was about to change the subject, but the beggar at the door said, "Madam Dou gave all her money to refugees, so her family is very poor and can't afford medical treatment or food."

"Wang Xiaogou, what nonsense are you talking about?" Madam Dou said angrily.

Hu Xin'er frowned: "What on earth happened?"
