ask for help
Before leaving, Li Zhi gave Su Yuexing a fierce look, wondering whether letting her in was a blessing or a curse.
Su Yuexing looked at Li Jinghe, who was sitting in a wheelchair, and said, "Thank you for speaking up for me just now."
Hearing her thank him, Li Jinghe's lips curled up slightly as he looked at her legs and asked, "Are your legs all healed?"
Su Yuexing nodded.
Xie Xuanye came in from outside, his tone somewhat surprised, "Jinghe, what brings Sai Taxue here?"
“He was invited by my father to see a doctor,” Li Jinghe replied.
Xie Xuanye exclaimed in shock, "Your father invited him to treat the illness! I think he's gone mad!"
Li Jinghe frowned slightly, his eyes filled with doubt, and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Su Yuexing looked at him with the same puzzled expression.
Xie Xuanye sat down on the stool and poured himself a cup of tea. "Everyone praises him as the Divine Physician, but actually, he's a master of poisons!"
"If someone offends him, he might poison you when you're not paying attention."
Su Yuexing's heart tightened as she looked at the hand she had just used to hit him.
Li Jinghe's gaze also fell on her.
Xie Xuanye continued, "However, he usually only treats members of the imperial family. Your father must have gone to great lengths to invite him from the capital to come here."
"No matter how much effort he puts in, he's still a quack." Su Yuexing said, then turned and left.
Xie Xuanye looked at Li Jinghe with a puzzled expression and asked, "What's wrong with her?"
Xie Xuanye explained, "Sai Taxue killed her younger brother while treating him."
“Impossible.” Xie Xuanye waved his hand, his tone firm, and continued, “Sai Taxue would never treat ordinary people.”
“Someone of my status would need my father to go to the palace several times to petition the emperor before he could treat me.”
Hearing this, Li Jinghe asked curiously, "Why is that?"
Xie Xuanye thought for a moment, then stroked his chin and said, "It's probably because he thinks he's of a very noble status and looks down on ordinary people."
"It's also possible that his consultation fees are very high, and he feels that ordinary people can't afford them, so he doesn't want to take up his time."
Li Zhi returned to his room and paced back and forth. "It's all over! I've offended Doctor Sai now. How am I going to explain this to the Duke's mansion?"
No! I must keep the miracle doctor here.
But that woman offended him, what should I do...?
He suddenly paused, as if he had thought of something, and a strange smile appeared on his face. He then told her to do it.
Since she caused this trouble, let her bear the consequences.
Li Zhi opened the door and walked towards Xinning Garden.
Su Yuexing returned to the courtyard and hadn't even rested for an hour when a maidservant announced, "Young Madam, Master has arrived."
Su Yuexing had no choice but to get up and greet him, saying, "Father."
Li Zhi entered without saying a word, sitting in the seat of honor with a stern face, while the others dared not utter a sound.
The room was eerily quiet. Under the gaze of those above, Su Yuexing mustered her courage and asked, "Dad, did you come to Xinning Garden to discuss something with your daughter-in-law?"
Li Zhi snorted coldly and said, "If I remember correctly, your Su family still owes my Li family 100,000 taels of silver."
"When will you return this money to the Li family?"
Su Yuexing's pupils contracted. 100,000 taels? How could I possibly have that much money?
Li Zhi, equally certain she couldn't come up with that much money, calmly said, "If you can't come up with the money, then let your sister leave!"
"No!" Su Yuexing exclaimed in a panic.
She immediately calmed herself down and said, "Dad, what do you want your daughter-in-law to do?"
A smug smile spread across Li Zhi's face as he walked towards her and said, "Bring that Doctor Sai you just offended back to his residence."
Su Yuexing frowned slightly and said, "Father! He's not some miracle doctor, he's just a quack!"
Li Zhi retorted angrily, "What do you know, you woman who stays at home all day!"
"Su Yuexing! I'm telling you right now, I'm giving you three days. If you haven't brought back Doctor Sai by then, your sister can get out of the Li residence!"
Li Zhi left after uttering those threatening words, his manner aggressive.
Su Yuexing's face turned pale, and she slumped to the ground, looking completely lost.
Hua Hong stepped forward worriedly and said, "Young Madam."
Su Yuexing hugged Hua Hong and cried bitterly. He was clearly a quack doctor, so why didn't anyone believe him?
I still need to beg the murderer who killed my brother," she said, her body trembling slightly as she held Hua Hong.
Su Yuexing cried for about fifteen minutes. After her emotions gradually calmed down, she said, "Go and find out where that miracle doctor is now."
Having received the instructions, Hua Hong went downstairs.
Li Jinghe looked at Xie Xuanye, who was still lingering beside him, and said, "Why didn't you go see your cronies today?"
Xie Xuanye raised his cup, about to drink some water, then paused and said, "Jinghe, what are you saying?"
"They're not just shady friends, they're my good brothers! I'll still need their help to accomplish my grand plan!"
“And they are just like me, a group of people with great aspirations!” Li Jinghe could see a glimmer of light in his eyes.
“If someone with ulterior motives finds out that the young master is colluding with bandits, your family will likely face serious trouble,” Li Jinghe warned.
Xie Xuanye asked in surprise, "How did you know?"
Something suddenly popped into her head, and she helplessly rubbed her forehead, saying, "It must have been Dongyang who told you, right!"
"I had forgotten about him. What else did he say to you?" Xie Xuanye asked nervously.
Li Jinghe looked away and said, "I didn't say anything. As your good friend, I was just reminding you."
Xie Xuanye waved his hand and said, "You don't need to worry about my affairs. You should worry more about your own."
Su Yuexing came out of the shop, and Hua Hong carried a pile of gifts as they walked towards Fengyun Inn.
Arriving at the door, Su Yuexing knocked. "Who is it?" Sai Taxue's voice came from inside.
Su Yuexing took a deep breath, raised her head and smiled, "Young Madam of the Li family."
"I won't see you," Sai Taxue said coldly.
Su Yuexing gritted her teeth and spoke again, "I'm here to apologize for my previous behavior."
A cold voice came from inside again, saying, "I do not accept your apology."
Su Yuexing's patience had long since run out, and she said, "Then how can you forgive me?"
The door opened from the inside, and Su Yuexing was slightly stunned when she saw that Sai Taxue's face was red and swollen on one side.
Sai Taxue pointed to her swollen face and said, "You made my face look like this, and you still want me to forgive you!"
Su Yuexing pursed her lips and said, "Then what do you want?"
Sai Taxue's eyes darted around, and an evil thought popped into her mind. She said, "You kneel outside. I'll forgive you whenever I'm in a better mood!"
“Miracle Doctor! Don’t go too far! This is the young mistress of the Li family!” Hua Hong said.
Sai Taxue said sarcastically, "Your master hasn't said anything yet, what are you barking about, you dog?"
“You…” Hua Hong said angrily.
"I'll kneel!" Su Yuexing said and walked outside.
"Young Madam! Young Madam!" Hua Hong called out from behind.
Su Yuexing knelt at the entrance of the inn, and Hua Hong tried to help her up, saying, "Young Madam, please don't be impulsive."
"Young Madam, let's think of another way." Hua Hong looked at the curious gazes of those around her.
"Hua Hong, don't try to persuade me anymore. You should rest in the shade," Su Yuexing said.
Hua Hong looked helpless. "That's it! I can go find the young master to rescue the young mistress."
Sai Taxue stood by the window, looking at the woman kneeling on the ground, her face expressionless.
The young apprentice beside him gloated, "If only you had known this would happen, you wouldn't have done it in the first place!"
"Even if my young master were the emperor, he would have to be extremely respectful. How dare she be so presumptuous!"
Sai Taxue glanced at him, and Dongxi immediately fell silent upon receiving his gaze.
Hua Hong ran to Changshou Garden, shouting, "Young Master! Something terrible has happened! The Young Mistress is in trouble!"
Dongyang blocked Huahong's path and said, "Explain yourself clearly."
Hua Hong said anxiously, "Please let me in quickly! The young mistress is kneeling in the street right now!"
"You wait here, I'll go in and inform the young master," Dongyang said before walking inside.
Li Jinghe was sitting at the table, holding a calligraphy brush in his hand, slowly practicing calligraphy on the paper.
"Knock knock".
Li Jinghe didn't stop moving, and without even looking up, he said, "Come in."
Dongyang came in from outside and bowed his head to report, "Young master, the young mistress is kneeling in the street right now."
Li Jinghe paused, then suddenly looked up and asked, "What's going on?"
"The young mistress's maid just came over and told me," Dongyang explained.
Li Jinghe put down his pen and said, "Let her in now and explain the situation to me."
"Yes." Dongyang accepted the order and left.
The weather gradually darkened, and the air temperature gradually decreased.
“Young master, this is what happened.” After Hua Hong finished speaking, she knelt on the ground and said earnestly, “Young master, I beg you, please save the young mistress.”
Li Jinghe said calmly, "Dongyang, push me out to take a look."
The words had barely left his mouth when a thunderclap echoed in the sky, "Boom!"
The rain poured down, and Li Jinghe frowned slightly.
Dongyang said worriedly, "Young master, you mustn't let your body get cold."
"It's better not to..."
Li Jinghe waved his hand, his eyes resolute, and said, "We have to go!"
Su Yuexing felt the rain hitting her body, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
Everyone who passes by will have their eyes linger on her for a while.
Dongxi looked at Su Yuexing kneeling in the street and said, "Young master, even the heavens couldn't stand it anymore and sent rain for her."
Sai Taxue remained silent, staring intently at Su Yuexing.
She clearly hated me just a moment ago, so how come she's begging me to come back so soon?
Su Yuexing's vision went black, and she collapsed to the ground, unable to control herself.
Dongxi exclaimed in shock, "Young Master, look! She's fainted!"
Sai Taxue instructed, "Bring her in."
Dongxi said with displeasure, "But young master..."
Sai Taxue gave him a look, and he immediately shut up and agreed, "Yes, young master."
Dongxi, holding an umbrella, came out of the inn, walked up to Su Yuexing, and said, "Stop pretending."
“Our young master is kind-hearted and is willing to see you.” He then kicked her foot.
Su Yuexing did not give him any response.
