Chapter 75: Let's Just Die
Gu Mian turned his head and saw the expectant gaze of the old lady Li.
Gu Mian hesitated for a moment and said, "Grandma, since I have decided to divorce, I should not have any more involvement with Ting Shen, so as to avoid confusion. There are so many doctors here, they can definitely help Ting Shen reduce his fever. If it really doesn't work, I will call my master now and ask him to come over."
"Gu Mian, you are so fucking cruel!" Li Xingze was so angry that he cursed, "My brother has been burned to such a state, don't you have any compassion at all? Is your heart made of stone?"
"Xingze, please don't make things difficult for Gu Mian." Yin Luoxue sobbed and said, "I will ask Mr. Lu Lang and the best doctor to come over. I will also take care of Brother Tingshen every step of the way. If anything happens to him, I will not live anymore and will die with him..."
Li Xingze hated Gu Mian even more. "Listen, Luoxue is willing to live and die with my brother, but you, as my brother's wife, are unwilling to even give him treatment. Gu Mian, my brother must be blind to not divorce you!"
Gu Mian smiled faintly, "Ms. Yin's love is deep and righteous, of course I can't compare to her, but it's just a fever, it's not fatal. Miss Yin is crying like this, do you think he will definitely die? Aren't you afraid of cursing him to death?"
Yin Luoxue was stunned, and said aggrievedly, "How could I possibly curse Brother Tingshen? I don't even have time to love him... Gu Mian, how could you assume such malicious things about me?"
"That's enough!" Madam Li's face was slightly cold. "Mrs. Li is still standing here, and you keep saying you love Tingshen. Do you still have any shame? You won't feel comfortable if you don't get married every day and become a mistress, right?"
Yin Luoxue's teeth were itching with hatred, and she wished she could kill this damn old woman on the spot.
But she couldn't show it, so she could only cry and say, "Grandma, I didn't..."
"Mian is right. She just has a fever. Why are you crying here? Aunt Zhang, take her out. She is not allowed to step into Yunyue Bay without my permission."
"Yes, ma'am."
Zhang Ma immediately stepped forward to clear the people away, "Miss Yin, please come in."
Yin Luoxue said anxiously, "Grandma, you can't do this to me! I want to stay and take care of Brother Tingshen!"
The old lady felt a headache after listening to this and raised her hands. Aunt Zhang immediately pushed Yin Luoxue's wheelchair and took her away.
Her ears were finally cleared, and then Madam Li walked up to Gu Mian, took her hand, and said, "Mian girl, grandma knows you have made up your mind, but Ting Shen is seriously ill, otherwise I would not have called you. Ting Shen just woke up for a while, and he was dazed by fever, but he refused the treatment of these doctors. I think even if Mr. Lu Lang came, he would still resist. He can only accept your treatment and care."
The old lady choked up as she spoke, "Mian girl, more than three years ago, Ting Shen died once, and he finally woke up. Grandma has already experienced the pain of almost losing him once, and she doesn't want to experience it again. Grandma begs you, for the sake of my old face, to help him one more time. I really can't lose Ting Shen..."
Gu Mian recalled the incident more than three years ago when Li Tingshen was in a coma after a car accident and became a vegetable, and Mrs. Li's hair turned white almost overnight.
She couldn't bear to make the old man sad.
"Grandma, I promise you." Gu Mian compromised, "I will stay and let Ting Shen treat him until his body is completely recovered."
"Okay, grandma thanks you." Madam Li said happily, "With you here, grandma feels at ease. I'll ask Mr. Lu Lang for leave for you. You stay and focus on taking care of Ting Shen. Call grandma if you have anything."
"I see."
Gu Mian immediately went to check Li Tingshen's pulse.
It was probably because I didn't take good care of myself when I had a fever a few days ago, and I didn't rest afterwards. In addition, my irregular diet hurt my stomach. I was blown in the cold wind all night last night, which is why I fell completely ill and have a high fever that won't go away.
"Grandma, I'm going back to the Chinese Medicine Hall to get some things and ask for leave from my master."
"Okay, I'll let the driver take you there to save time."
"Okay."
......
In less than an hour, Gu Mian came back. Madam Li felt relieved and left with several other doctors and Li Xingze.
"Grandma, I won't leave. I want to stay and take care of my brother." Li Xingze said unhappily, "That Gu Mian wants to divorce my brother so much. What if he goes all out and kills my brother?"
Madam Li looked at him as if he were a fool. "Are you really from our Li family? How come you don't have any brains at all?"
"Grandma, how can you say that to me? Can't you see that Gu Mian is not a good person? She can even kill herself! She poisoned herself, this woman is so cruel..."
"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. If I were bullied to that extent, I would also use such a violent method." The Li old lady said seriously, "Mian girl didn't hurt others, but poisoned herself. She is already very kind. Do you really think that as Mr. Lu Lang's apprentice, she can't kill Luoxue?"
Li Xingze was speechless. Although Mr. Lu Lang was a doctor who saved lives, he was also said to be well versed in toxicology, so it was indeed easy for him to harm people.
Li Xingze wanted to argue, "Grandma..."
"That's enough." The old lady didn't let him continue. "Listen to grandma and go home. Let your brother and sister-in-law solve their problems themselves."
Li Xingze had no choice but to leave with Madam Li.
......
Upstairs.
Gu Mian gave the medicine to Yang's mother to boil, and he gave Li Tingshen physical cooling.
Li Ting had a severe fever, and ordinary physical cooling methods were of no use at all. Gu Mian went to boil some herbs to rub on his body. After toiling until the evening, the fever finally subsided.
Gu Mian heaved a sigh of relief and called Madam Li to stop her from worrying.
The old lady was very happy. She reminded Gu Mian to take care of his health and talked for a long time before hanging up the phone.
"Madam." Mother Yang knocked on the door and came in. "Dinner is ready. Please go downstairs and eat."
"good."
Mother Yang prepared several delicious home-cooked dishes, all of which were Gu Mian’s favorites.
Gu Mian was really hungry, so he finished most of his meal before going upstairs with Li Tingshen's medicine.
She tried to wake Li Tingshen up, but he just responded drowsily.
Gu Mian fed him the medicine, but perhaps because it was too bitter, Li Ting spit it out with great resistance as soon as it entered his mouth.
Gu Mian was helpless and could only put the medicine aside and took out the silver needle to give him acupuncture.
Acupuncture can make him wake up faster, and taking medicine can make him recover faster.
After the acupuncture, Li Tingshen did not wake up. He took the rare opportunity to sleep and practiced yoga in the next room for an hour, then returned to the bathroom in the master bedroom to take a shower.
When she came out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel, she suddenly felt a burning gaze falling on her...
