She patiently explained, "Young Master, you've misunderstood. This young man and I are both friends of Grandpa Zhou. We're staying here for a few days."
After hearing this, Axi's expression improved, but she was still gloomy: "So you are a distinguished guest, then I won't disturb you. Just pretend you didn't hear anything I said just now." After saying that, she walked to the room next door with a carving of crabapple flowers, pushed the door open and went in. After a while, she found that the person following her did not respond.
The man behind him who looked like a servant was looking in the direction of Xiao Nanhui. Seeing the door of the lily room open behind her, he was a little stunned.
Ah Xi scolded him dissatisfiedly: "A Lu."
The servant named A Lu came to his senses, bowed hastily to Xiao Nanhui, and quickly went into the house and closed the door.
Xiao Nanhui opened his mouth and swallowed back the question.
She had specifically inquired before leaving and knew that Wangchen Tower was a place that Mr. Zou often visited, so she shamelessly begged Yao Yi to let her move in. But unfortunately, it turned out that Mr. Zou stayed at home and refused to come out.
But it was all gossip, so it was normal for some mistakes to occur. As long as the other party didn't leave the gates of Murhe, she didn't believe that she couldn't find this person.
But...Zou Sifang is seriously ill?
A person's face flashed before her eyes unconsciously.
Just as she was thinking, Shrike fished something out of her coat, put it under his nose and sniffed it, then asked in confusion, "Why do you have a Zhidan? And it's white?"
She looked back in confusion: "What Zhidan?"
Shrike placed the item in her palm. Xiao Nanhui took a closer look and murmured, "This was given to me by Hao Bai. He said he wanted to thank me for what I did on the ship."
Shrike tutted his lips. "He's a real man. This Zhidan is a good thing, but it's hard to find in the martial arts world these days. The ones I stole from my master before were all bright yellow. I'll have to ask him for more someday."
Xiao Nanhui stared at the little white pill thoughtfully.
******************
In a large mansion across two streets, Mr. Zou's three concubines were crying in the hall. In the middle sat the mistress of the house, Zhao, whose delicate makeup could not hide her haggard look.
Zhao uttered the last word expressionlessly and had nothing more to say. She just drank her tea.
This was the countless times in the past ten days that she had talked about Zou Sifang's illness. The listeners changed one after another, and the concubines shed tears again and again, but Master Zou still showed no improvement. The man in front of her didn't even have a hair on his lips, so how reliable could he be?
Thinking of this, she didn't even have the energy to get angry. She just felt annoyed and waved her hand to signal the housekeeper to come forward: "Is the consultation fee ready? If Mr. Hao can't, let him take the money and leave early."
The young man standing in front of her in white clothes and white boots with no hair on his mouth was none other than Hao Bai.
Hao Bai looked thoughtful and obviously had no intention of taking the money and leaving.
"Mr. Hao?"
Hao Bai came back to his senses and took out the bag full of silver needles. "Don't worry, Madam. Although I'm young, I've traveled extensively and seen many difficult and complicated cases. What you just described isn't the worst possible scenario."
"Isn't that bad?" Zhao was so shocked that she spilled half a cup of tea. "He's been in a coma for a whole half month. Not only can he not take any medicine, he can't even drink water. If he hadn't occasionally breathed, he would have been prepared for his coffin long ago."
"If you trust me, Madam, please let me examine you downstairs."
Zhao was silent, knowing that she had no choice but to try. If Master Zou died, the Third Concubine would inevitably quarrel with her. Now that she had no children, if she wanted a better future, the head of the family must not die first.
"In that case, I'll trouble you, sir."
