"This... I can't guarantee it."
The steward said in a cold and stern tone, "Forget it then. The young lady's body is delicate, and besides, it's forbidden for men and women to touch each other. How can I allow you to do anything reckless?"
The doctor who was speaking said, "Then I will go and give the young masters scraping."
"That's enough." The manager waved his hand impatiently, signaling the next person to speak.
Unexpectedly, the next doctor said, "I can pinch the Ren Zhong point."
The steward's face darkened, "Who doesn't know this?"
"I pinched it hard."
"Shut up!" The manager began to suspect that the other party was deliberately making trouble. He continued to ask the remaining doctors. These doctors were more honest and said that they had never seen such a strange disease and could not treat the cousin.
"So, you guys are all useless?" The steward's expression suddenly changed, and he glanced at the doctors present with contempt.
"What do you mean!"
"Who are you calling trash?"
"How can you be like this? Be careful or I'll complain to the master of the Ji Mansion!"
The doctors were insulted and their faces turned red with anger.
The steward laughed heartily and said disdainfully, "You bunch of losers, how dare you live in this world? You still want to sue me? Then you need to have the life to sue me."
As he said this, the steward clapped his hands, and twenty sturdy servants ran in from outside. They had prepared ropes in their hands, and they tied up all the doctors in the room and dragged them out in no time.
Only two servants remained in the room.
The steward asked, "Do you have anything else to do?"
The two servants pointed behind the steward and said, "There's also a doctor who took the young lady's pulse. Shouldn't he be taken away with her?"
"There's another person?" The steward was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw Lan Zhi sitting on the edge of the bed, her fingers still on Miss Xihong's wrist.
The steward asked angrily, "Why didn't you say anything just now?"
Lan Zhi looked up at him and said slowly, "You didn't ask me a question."
Veins throbbed on the steward's forehead. He said, "You've been taking my pulse for so long, aren't you trying to take advantage of the young lady? Get your dirty hands off her right now!"
The last sentence was close to a roar.
Lan Zhi remained calm and said, "I already know your young lady's health condition."
"You useless... what? Do you know what's wrong with my young lady?" The butler's eyes widened, then a smile returned to his face, his expression changing with remarkable speed. He bent down, his posture humble, and asked, "I wonder if the miracle doctor has any method to wake my young lady?"
The cousin's status in the mansion is not as high as that of the two legitimate young masters of the Ji family, so the doctors would be led to her room. Only after they cured her could they go to treat the legitimate young masters.
Lan Zhi nodded. "Yes, your young lady has soul-leaving syndrome. Her body is healthy, but her soul has escaped. We need to call her soul back so that she can wake up."
"Soul-separation syndrome?" The housekeeper looked confused. "Aren't you a doctor? Why are you talking about witchcraft?"
Lan Zhi said: "I know a little bit about everything."
The steward said, "Then you can call back my young lady's soul. How long will it take to call her back?"
Lan Zhi said, "I'm not sure. Her soul has traveled too far and won't be able to come back in a short time. You don't need to look for a doctor anymore. I can guarantee that your young lady and young master will be cured."
The steward shook his head and said, "I can't believe your one-sided statement. If you really send all the other doctors away, and your treatment is ineffective, you will miss the best time for diagnosis and treatment..."
Lan Zhi said, "Then let's release the doctors we just kidnapped. Are you from the Ji family just bandits? If you can't cure the disease, you're going to kill them all?"
The steward smiled slightly and said, "How is that possible? Go out and ask around. Everyone knows that we in the Ji Mansion are kind people. We never kill people. We just tie up these doctors and throw them out at night... The doctors were killed because they violated the rules of the town. What does it have to do with us? When the day comes, we will be kind enough to collect their bodies..."
At this point, the steward said with a forced smile: "The Ji family is so kind, I am almost moved to tears."
Lan Zhi: ???
You're asking for a beating. I really want to burn you to death.
Of course, Lan Zhi was just thinking about it, not putting it into action. There were many evil people in the world, and she couldn't burn them all. Besides, was what she did necessarily right? Everyone has selfish motives, and absolute fairness and justice are impossible. Lan Zhi didn't bother to meddle in other people's affairs, but sometimes she felt that it was a small effort, so she would help.
"Let them go." Lan Zhi repeated again.
The smile on the steward's face completely disappeared. He said, "Who do you think you are? I will release them just because you tell me to? This is the order of the head of the family. All doctors who cannot cure the young master and young lady will be sacrificed to the darkness. As long as enough lives are sacrificed, the health of the young master and young lady can be restored."
Lan Zhi said, "Hmm?" "It seems the Ji family's Patriarch also knows something about the dark night... He's also a corpse collector. Maybe he's the same as the village chief?"
Just as he was thinking about it, the master of Ji Mansion came in and asked, "Is Xihong awake?"
The steward came forward and replied, "Not yet. None of these useless people are any use. However, there is a doctor who diagnosed that the young lady has soul separation syndrome and said he wants to call back her soul."
The master of the Ji Mansion said majestically, "Yes, it can be seen that it is soul separation syndrome, which means that she is truly engaged. Who is this person?"
The steward pointed and said, "That's her."
The master of the Ji family looked in the direction of his finger and saw a plain-looking, round-faced boy.
"You are so ugly..." The master of the Ji Mansion said with disdain, because there are many beautiful maids and handsome servants in his mansion. Even the steward is good-looking. Although he is not handsome, he is sunny and cheerful. In comparison, Lan Zhi's appearance is very ordinary.
The steward laughed and said, "Master, a doctor's medical skills are enough. Why should he care about her appearance?"
The master of the Ji Mansion said, "If she was pretty, I would have kept her in the mansion, but she looks like this, I don't even want to look at her."
The steward nodded and said, "Master is right. When this person calls her soul back, we will drive her away."
Lan Zhi: "..." It's really disrespectful for you to talk about this in front of me.
Ji Chengcheng said angrily: "That's too much! I'm going to bite him!"
Lan Zhi whispered: "Don't bite, I'm afraid of your mouth."
"Who are you talking to?" Master Ji had excellent hearing and heard Lan Zhi's words clearly. He asked suspiciously, "Is there someone else in this room?"
Lan Zhi made up an excuse casually, "No, I've loved talking to myself since I was a child."
The master of the Ji Mansion snorted heavily, seeming very dissatisfied. He said, "As expected, ugly people are more likely to cause trouble. Okay, I won't waste my words with you. Now start calling the soul. I'll watch from the side."
