Seeing Ye Ru deep in thought, the man couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Ru, have you thought of any methods?"
Ye Ru nodded. "Dad, I remember there's a very skilled barefoot doctor in the village, isn't there? Could you please call him over for me?"
The man thought for a moment and asked Ye Ru, "Xiao Ru, are you talking about Master Liu?"
Ye Ru's eyes lit up. "Yes, that's him!"
The man asked, somewhat puzzled, "What do you want with him?"
Ye Ru was clearly unwilling to say more: "Dad, don't ask anymore, just call him over for me."
The man frowned and said worriedly, "But Master Liu is a barefoot doctor, can he really do it?"
Ye Ru nodded. "It will definitely work, Dad. Please, please go and call him over."
The man hesitated for a moment, but then nodded. "Okay, I'll go check if he's home now."
With that, the man prepared to leave.
"Wait."
Ye Ru suddenly called out to the man and warned him, "Dad, when you go to see Master Liu, you must be careful and not let anyone see you. Ye Haiming knows I'm missing and will definitely try to find me. I don't want Ye Haiming to know my location right now."
The man quickly nodded in agreement: "Okay, Xiaoru, don't worry, I'll be careful."
After the man left, Ye Ru couldn't help but sob softly.
For so many years, she has lived cautiously in order to have a place in the Ye family, always afraid of displeasing Ye Haiming and his wife and being kicked out of the house.
He even studied hard and became a PhD from Oxford University in Country Y.
Originally, it was thought that Ye Haiming and Gao Yalan would completely forget about their biological daughter Ye Huanhuan and give up searching for her whereabouts. However, to their surprise, the couple still found that bitch Ye Huanhuan and even brought her back to the Ye family.
Since Ye Huanhuan came back, everything in the house has changed.
Ye Haiming no longer valued her, Gao Yalan became increasingly disappointed in her, and Ye Ting also fell into a vegetative state.
Now, she can't go home and can only hide in the home of her biological parents from her childhood.
That's really tragic.
Soon, the man brought Liu Daxian back. Hearing the commotion, Ye Ru picked up a tissue to wipe away her tears and quickly composed herself.
"Xiaoru, Master Liu is here."
The man exclaimed excitedly, and seeing that Ye Ru's eyes were red, he quickly asked, "Xiao Ru, what's wrong? Why are you crying again?"
Ye Ru shook her head: "Dad, I'm fine. Isn't Master Liu here? Please invite him in quickly."
Seeing that Ye Ru was unwilling to say more, the man looked at her, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back. In the end, he didn't say anything more and turned to lead Master Liu into Ye Ru's room.
Before the man could speak, Ye Ru interjected, "Dad, you should go out first. I want to talk to Master Liu alone."
The man seemed reluctant to leave, frowning as he asked, "Is there... something that Dad can't hear?"
Ye Ru thought for a moment, but still didn't force the man to leave. She said, "Never mind, Dad, you can stay here then."
Hearing that his daughter was no longer telling him to leave, the man's face immediately lit up with joy. He hurriedly pulled up a chair, invited Master Liu to sit down, and served him tea attentively.
Liu Daxian looks to be in his seventies or eighties, with gray hair and beard, and has an air of otherworldly wisdom.
He didn't show much surprise when he saw Ye Ru, and simply greeted her casually.
"Gou Sheng's daughter, it's been so many years since I last saw her, she's grown up so much."
"Gousheng" is a derogatory nickname a man received as a child.
The man nodded, a smile on his face, and said, "Yes, Master Liu, your memory is truly excellent. I didn't expect you to still remember Xiaoru."
Upon hearing this, Liu Daxian smiled faintly, looked at Ye Ru, and said:
"Hehe, of course, after all, I treated your girl when she was little."
As he spoke, he stroked his long beard and continued, "So... what is the reason for calling me here now?"
Ye Ru seemed hesitant to speak. She frowned slightly, glanced at the man with considerable difficulty, and then stammered as she asked Liu Daxian:
"Grandpa Immortal...do you have any herbs that can induce a false pregnancy after consumption?"
Upon hearing this, the man's eyes widened in astonishment.
"Xiaoru, what are you trying to do?"
Ye Ru sighed helplessly, her tone filled with resignation and bitterness, and said to the man:
"Dad... please don't ask what I want to do now. You'll know when I get back to the Ye family."
The man was speechless for a moment, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, but he didn't press the matter further.
Liu Daxian glanced at Ye Ru with a complicated expression and asked her, "Girl, what do you need this medicine for?"
Ye Ru understood the meaning behind Liu Daxian's words, and instead of answering his question, she asked him in return:
"Grandpa Immortal, you have this kind of medicine, right?"
Seeing that Master Liu remained silent, Ye Ru quickly got off the bed and knelt on the ground, pleading with Master Liu, "Grandpa Master, please help me for my father's sake."
The man couldn't bear to see his precious daughter kneeling on the ground. He quickly pulled Ye Ru up, then knelt before Liu Daxian in her place, tears streaming down his face, and said:
"Uncle, please help Xiaoru. She's really desperate. If you have any of this medicine, please give it to her. No matter how much it costs, just ask and I'll try my best to get it for you."
Liu Daxian frowned. "Gousheng, get up! What kind of posture is that, kneeling on the ground? Did I say I wouldn't help you?"
As he spoke, he took out a herb from the cloth bag he carried and handed it to Ye Ru. "Girl, this is a false pregnancy herb. After eating it, you will experience symptoms of pregnancy, but you will not actually be pregnant. However, this herb has strong side effects and can damage your body, so remember not to use it too often."
Ye Ru took the herbs and carefully put them away as if they were precious treasures. "Thank you, Grandpa Immortal."
Liu Daxian looked at her and said earnestly:
“Girl, everything has a cause and effect. You must have some unspeakable difficulties for using this herb. Considering that your father is someone I watched grow up, I have to advise you to be cautious in everything you do. Herbs can only solve the problem temporarily. If you want to solve the root problem, you still have to think of another way.”
After saying that, he stood up and said, "I have other things to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."
After Liu Daxian left, Ye Ru visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
With this herb, she could return to the Ye family safely.
