These words even made Gu Jinghui, who always liked to cause trouble for Lao Liu, pause.
The courtyard was sealed off, so Gu Jingjun couldn't go in to see what was going on. The Sixth Madam was deliberately keeping it a secret, and the Sixth Prince really had no choice.
However, Gu Jinghui easily found an excuse to reprimand his sixth brother.
"That's because your sixth sister-in-law and you don't get along, otherwise why would she keep it from you?"
As expected, Gu Jingjun lowered his head in frustration.
Sixth Master Gu couldn't help but feel sorry for himself. If only he hadn't argued with Madam Xu across the courtyard wall when he first went to see the two children.
Qin Yuan said, "Sixth brother, your third brother is right. This is your family matter, and your third sister-in-law shouldn't make decisions for you."
Gu Jinghui glanced smugly at Gu Jingjun, whose head was hanging even lower.
Qin Yuan continued, "However, Third Sister-in-law can help you come up with ideas."
Gu Jingjun suddenly raised his head, his gentle peach blossom eyes full of trust, and hurriedly said, "Then thank you very much, Third Sister-in-law. I have always heard my mother and Third Brother say that Third Sister-in-law is well-read, reasonable, and exceptionally intelligent. Now I have lost my composure, so please feel free to speak frankly."
Gu Jingjun was taken aback for a moment before saying, "Let's take care of it first and invite them over. There's no way out once the car reaches the mountain."
Li Langzhong seemed to see nothing, and silently led Da Dong past.
Qin Yuan didn't refuse, saying frankly, "I don't know why my sixth sister-in-law is unwilling to seek treatment, but this illness can't be delayed any longer. The most urgent thing is to find a good doctor for her as soon as possible. As for anything else..."
Gu Xushi did speak up, but her attitude of prioritizing courtesy over force was very clear.
Li Langzhong's expression was somewhat inexplicable.
However, Zhao Mama, who was furious, pulled Shiba aside and complained, "Let Shiba be the judge."
"If my eighth sister-in-law doesn't suffer any mishap at this time, the Xu family is already entangled with the Marquis's mansion because of Zhen'er's matter. It's likely that even if things can be resolved peacefully, it will give unscrupulous people an opportunity to slander the Marquis's mansion."
"You?" Lu Lihang looked surprised and suspicious.
It's one thing for brothers to talk about it, but how could you say it in front of so few people?
Gu Jingjun frowned deeply.
Gu Jingjun immediately said, "That's fine then."
Doctor Li's eyes flickered: "All I can do is prescribe some medicine for you to recover quickly. Then we'll see if the Marquis of Dingbei can find a renowned doctor to cure the Eighth Madam."
He paused, then said with a sense of justification, "When I examined the patients afterward, I told the Eighth Madam to take care of herself and worry more, because she was trying to win again. But it seems that the Eighth Madam did not listen. I did not expect the Eighth Madam to be so ill."
Before they could discuss it further, they went to the servants' quarters to inform Old Madam Gu.
She paused, "I wonder what my husband and sixth brother are planning. In my opinion, the matter of the sixth brother's wife is complicated. Because of smallpox, the Dingbei Marquis's mansion is already in the eye of the storm. The fact that His Majesty has not blamed them is because smallpox reappeared outside the capital before the mansion was sealed off."
“How could this be? Weren’t they saying the two children were too slow? How come…” You thought for a moment and said, “Let them go and prepare. You can have Rong Mama go and ask her.”
Gu Jingjun patiently put down his teacup and said, "If Eighth Sister-in-law were willing to let Doctor Li examine her, there wouldn't be so many problems. Since things have come to this, this is the only option. Youzuo is also slow to open his residence. Even if he is invited, he will only stay in the residence for a short time. I think he will blame you too much."
The disliked Granny Zhao: "..."
"The mansion is still sealed off; why would I come?"
Li Langzhong looked at Da Dong, stamped his foot, and said, "Forget it, rather than doing it this way, let Yu Xue cure the disease. But then we'll have to ask Eighth Master to make the decision."
Lord Marquis: "..."
Lu Lihang twitched his lips and said, "Eighth Brother, Eighth Sister-in-law, Doctor Li, even if you lose your composure now, you can still come up with a solution. You understand right and wrong perfectly well. If Qin Yuan were a bad person, how could things have dragged on to this point? No matter what happened before, it all depended on Qin Yuan's fate."
"How does Doctor Li prescribe medicine?" Gu Jingjun asked.
Lu Li also leaned closer to Gu Jingjun and whispered, "This Physician Liu..."
Doctor Li nodded: "Yes. Madam Ba is your wife. Do Madam Xu and Madam have any ideas to help him?"
"Where is he?" Madam Gu asked hurriedly.
Gu Jingjun's lips curled slightly; he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Lu Lihang looked at Doctor Li without thinking.
“It’s bad that he understands,” Gu Jinghui glanced at his eighth brother, then hesitated to speak.
Lu Li frowned.
Everyone was taken aback.
After leaving the servants' quarters, Granny Zhao grumbled, "Mother still doesn't have any questions. It's obvious that Qin Yuan is too preoccupied with her own concerns and is willing to see a doctor..."
Doctor Li said, "Now that the Eighth Madam's illness has dragged on, let me tell you the truth. The Eighth Madam's illness has dragged on to this point, and I'm afraid there are only eight people in the entire Xiaoxing who can cure you."
Sixth Master Gu hesitated and said, "Eighth Brother, is the head of the Imperial Medical Academy an extraordinary physician?"
Granny Zhao could hardly believe it.
Lord Marquis: "..."
When Madam Gu heard this, she was also slightly shocked.
Lu Lihang shut his mouth, feeling wronged.
Lu Lihang stammered, "Qin Yuan will listen to you. If you can make a decision, you will naturally hope that Doctor Li can examine Qin Yuan and make you take the medicine. Otherwise, you will become suspicious again."
Gu Jingjun rebuked, "What's the use of complaining back then? She married Yu Xue and had so many children with him. If it weren't for the children, he should have said those things in public."
Lu Lihang then reassured her, "Then you should find a way to invite the head of the Imperial Medical Academy to treat your eighth sister-in-law."
Granny Zhao stamped her foot in frustration: "That impoverished Xu family is really good for nothing."
Doctor Li asked, "Is Madam Xu going to insist on inviting her?"
Lu Lihang rolled his eyes at Zhao Mama, "Who would be cautious? Did he even understand what his eighth sister-in-law said? Really."
Granny Zhao said, "This..."
Gu Jinghui's lips curled down slightly as he looked at Qin Yuan and said, "Now that Madam is in charge of all the affairs of the manor, why don't you think about the bigger picture and tell me what the best course of action is?"
The Marquis said, "That's easy. Have Lü Lihang give the Eighth Madam some calming soup. Once you're asleep, have Physician Li take her pulse and prescribe medicine."
As he spoke, he took the Marquis's hand and led him backward.
Granny Zhao hesitated and said, "You..."
The Marquis also asked, "My husband isn't very confident?"
Doctor Li, too lazy to listen to my rambling, said directly, "Eighth Master, how about you find a way to have Gu Jinghui, who serves the Eighth Madam, drink the medicine you prescribed to help her get through the predicament before the establishment of the mansion? Then the Eighth Madam can find another doctor. What do you think, Eighth Master?"
The Marquis interjected, "It would be best to have Gu Jinghui tell your eighth sister-in-law that Madam Xu has invited a royal physician from inside to examine you. The physician can be any unfamiliar-looking guard dressed up as."
Gu Jingjun looked over with his sharp eyes and said, "Eighth Brother, it was he who made the idea for that matter, and he was the one who came to harass people the other day."
Sixth Master Gu breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said, "Sister-in-law, please forgive me, it's nothing serious."
The Marquis looked at Sixth Master Gu.
