Chapter 42 I said she was sick!
Listening to Jin Congcong's accusations, Doctor Du was speechless for a moment.
"Jin Congcong, are you going to die? You're breathing so hard, I thought something happened to Ruo'er."
"It's just a few beatings, so be it. Have you ever been beaten by her since you were a child? You're still fine, why are you making such a fuss?"
"I'm old and can't stand being scared. My old back is about to be broken from all this jostling!"
"Can't you all give an old man like me a little peace of mind? Letter after letter from carrier pigeons, either saying Ruo'er is going to kill someone or that Ruo'er needs medicinal tea. I think it's not Ruo'er who's crazy, it's more likely you're crazy."
"Jin Congcong, let me tell you, if you get beaten to death by Ruo'er one day, you absolutely deserve it. I want to beat you up."
Bu Ruo listened to Doctor Du's mumbling and walked out with a smile: "Grandpa Du, you are here. Have you eaten yet? I'll ask Bi'er to prepare food to welcome you, how about it?"
Doctor Du looked at Bu Ruo steadily, and after circling around her for a few times, he hit Jin Congcong in the back: "Is this what you call a mental problem? Insane? In my opinion, she looks more normal than you."
Jin Congcong covered his head and said unconvincedly: "She is not sick at the moment, wait until she has a sick attack and then see."
"Besides, you didn't even take her pulse or examine her. How can you be so sure she's fine? She's just not having a seizure right now."
Bu Ruo helped Doctor Du sit on the stone bench in the courtyard and held out his hand: "Then Grandpa Du, please help me take my pulse, so that everyone can feel at ease."
After saying that, he looked at Jin Congcong again and said, “Once we have taken the pulse and finished the diagnosis, we will know whether someone deserves to be beaten or not.”
"Yes! Take her pulse! Check her out! Otherwise she won't admit she's sick and keep saying I wronged her!"
Doctor Du looked at Jin Congcong's determined expression, then turned to look at Bu Ruo, and could only reach out to take his pulse.
"Hmm... I'm a little irritated, but it's normal to get irritated in this season. It's inevitable to be a little irritated."
Jin Congcong was so anxious that he was spinning around: "Master, look at her brain! She has a problem with her brain!"
"You're the one with the problem in your brain!"
Jin Congcong hid behind Doctor Du and shrank his neck: "Did you see it? You're getting angry, angry, and angry again."
Doctor Du wanted to kick the man to death: "Get lost! If someone keeps saying I have mental problems, I'll get mad too!"
Jin Congcong pointed at Bu Ruo in disbelief: "Master, what you mean is... Ruo'er is okay? She's not mentally ill?"
Before Doctor Du could speak, he heard Bu Ruo say in a sinister voice, "No! I'm sick, I'm mentally ill, I'm manic, and emotionally unstable. I might hit someone at any time. No, let alone hit someone, I might even kill someone."
Bu Ruo suddenly didn't want to resist anymore. If he was sick, then he was sick. It was good that no one dared to mess with a sick person.
Doctor Du heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Bu Ruo was truly alright. "Where is my yard? You've been so worried about me these past few days. I've been traveling so hard that I've almost died. I need to rest up."
"By the way, Ruo'er's wedding is next month, so I won't leave yet. I have to watch Ruo'er get married."
Bu Ruo naturally had no objection. Just as he was about to take Doctor Du to rest, he saw Jin Congcong approaching like a lackey.
"Um... I'll take Master there. I'll go, I'll go."
Ruo could still hear Jin Congcong's voice until they had walked quite a distance.
"Master, I'm asking you, are you able to do this? Is there something you can't say in front of Ruo'er? Are you worried that she might feel uncomfortable and afraid to see a doctor?"
"It's okay, just tell me secretly. I won't tell anyone. If Ruo'er is really sick, we will treat her. If anything happens to her, my parents will kill me."
“Master…”
Doctor Du was so annoyed by him that he said angrily, "Yes, Ruo'er is sick. She does have mental problems, but I definitely can't cure her. You've been by my side since you were a child, and you've already surpassed me."
"So Ruo'er's illness will be left to you from now on. I'm going to rest now. Can you please stop following me?"
"Oh, why are you so annoying? If you have time, spend more time researching your medicinal food instead of acting like you're trying to poison someone every time you serve it."
Jin Congcong stamped his feet in anger as he watched the old man disappear around the corner with his servants. "I told you Ruo'er is sick, I told you she is sick!"
"No, Ruo'er has been my wife since she was a child. I have to find a way to cure her."
…
Three days later
"Bi'er, what has Jin Congcong been doing recently? I don't think I've seen him in the past few days."
Bi'er followed Bu Ruo towards the ancestral hall and said with a smile, "Mr. Jin has been tinkering with something in the small kitchen in his courtyard lately. He's been so secretive and never comes out. But he's been buying batches of medicinal herbs, spending a lot of money."
"I've heard from the servants that several pots in the small kitchen have burned through in the past few days. Master Jin sighs and moans every day, making the place filthy and looking a bit mentally unstable."
"Miss, would you like to go and see me later? I'm really worried that you haven't lost your mind, but Mr. Jin has a mental problem."
Bu Ruo heard Bi'er's words and quickly waved her hands: "I won't go. I'm afraid that if I see him, he won't be able to control himself. Let him do it himself."
"Don't worry, a person of his character won't have any mental problems easily. It's just a matter of spending a little more money. As long as the money can solve the problem, don't let him affect my beautiful mood."
The two of them were talking when they arrived at the door of the ancestral hall. In the past three days, Bu Ruo had specifically instructed the housekeeper not to clean the ancestral hall to avoid scaring others.
"Bu Ruo has met the ancestors. Thank you for your hard work."
"Wow~ Not bad, you actually finished it in three days. Actually, I just said it casually at the time. I thought it would take five days."
Bu Ruo walked over and lifted up the fallen tablets one by one: "Thank you for your hard work, but this is all for the good of our ancestors and their descendants. It's what you should do, and you shouldn't complain."
"You ancestors are all heroes with broad minds. How could you bother with a little junior like me?"
"Yes, you are right. Next time, we will give it a few more days. We won't rush it so much. Look at how exhausted these people are. They are all exhausted."
"Hmm? Grandfather, what are you talking about? What do the second and third branches of the Bu family have to do with me? That's your romantic debt, why should I help them?"
"I'm not going. If you want to go, go by yourself. I don't have the habit of repaying evil with kindness. If I'm bullied, I must pay it back. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep."
"Grandfather, I'm not saying anything bad about you. When they treated me like that, you never said a word. You were just playing dumb all day. What's wrong? You've got a mouth now?"
