Chapter 171 Seeking a Doctor

The two of them had a great time, taking a boat trip, visiting temple fairs, and guessing lantern riddles. They felt as happy and relaxed as if Du Ruo had not married into the family and they had been strolling freely on the streets together.

When he came back, Cheng Yunshuo bought Du Ruo a bunch of stuff, big and small, which made her feel very proud.

Everyone can see that Cheng Yunshuo dotes on her.

Some people even said privately that the way Cheng Yunshuo pampered her was somewhat similar to the way he pampered Xing Dairong before.

All these words fell into Du Ruo's ears.

Her heroic little eyebrows were raised in disdain.

What does it mean to pamper Xing Dairong? Then who is Xing Dairong!

She has always been unique in her master's heart!

The next day, Cheng Yunshuo went on errands. Du Ruo was still immersed in joy. She walked in the backyard wearing the new things Cheng Yunshuo bought for her.

Qiu Ling and Ling Long looked at her and both avoided her sharp edge from a distance.

Now both of them are too lazy to argue with her or compete with her. She is being pampered and can show off as much as she likes.

They didn't care to watch it anymore. Instead of arguing with her, they would rather go to Lu Lingyun's yard to embroider clothes and drink tea.

Those days were truly comfortable!

Now that Du Ruo had no one to compete with her, she felt a great sense of accomplishment, and even a little confused.

These people are nothing but that!

Today she suddenly received a letter saying that her aunt was seriously ill.

"Xiao Wei, go tell your master that my aunt's condition has worsened and I need to go back to see her."

"Yes." Xiao Wei came back after a while, "The young lady agreed and asked for the carriage to be prepared."

Upon hearing this, Du Ruo hurried out, but when she reached the main gate, the guards stopped her.

"Auntie, you can't go through the front door, go through the side door."

"You!" Du Ruo got angry when he heard this.

She had been in the Marquis' Mansion for so long, and had always entered and exited through the front gate because she was a young lady living here as a guest.

After she became a concubine, she was brought in through the side door, but she didn't take it seriously at the time. Later, she went out with Cheng Yunshuo only once on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival temple fair, and they went through the main door. In this way, today was her first time entering and leaving the Marquis' Mansion after becoming a concubine.

You have to take a side road.

"Do you know who I am? Aren't you afraid that my master will come back and punish you?"

"Aunt Du, this is the rule of our mansion. Just go ahead and complain to the Madam and the Marquis. You will have to go through the back door today!" The gatekeeper's surname was Cheng. He was an old servant of the Cheng family. Gatekeeping was an important job and only the most trusted people could be hired. As the saying goes, a third-rank official in front of the prime minister, a servant who could reach his level would not be afraid of Aunt at all.

He holds the reputation of the Marquis's Mansion in his hands, so what if he abuses his power to bully others and show off his power?

When Du Ruo heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then she thought of the humiliation she had suffered as a concubine before. She snorted, "Let's take a side road!"

She still took a side road.

Riding in a carriage, Du Ruo returned to her aunt's house.

Her aunt's condition has worsened again.

His face was pale.

As soon as her aunt saw her, she waved at her. She didn't know why, but she always thought her aunt was annoying and always controlled her too much. She didn't even want to see her and even cursed her to die in private. Now seeing her like this, Du Ruo's heart suddenly tightened.

"Aunt!"

"Aruo." Auntie held Du Ruo's hand tightly, her face pale as she asked, "Is it okay for you to marry her and become a concubine?"

Du Ruo raised her eyebrows and smiled, "I'm fine. My master loves me very much."

Hearing this, her aunt's face showed a little relief, "Being a concubine is not being a wife, you must control your temper. Cheng Shizi's family is generous, and you must not confront the mistress. Serve the mistress and the queen well, and have a child soon."

She muttered to herself.

Du Ruo was not happy to hear that again. "Aunt, that's all old news. My master really dotes on me. There's nothing wrong with being a concubine. I have my master's favor, so that mistress won't dare to punish me!"

"Aruo!" Her aunt grabbed her hand with force, and just as she was about to scold her, she spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Aunt!" Du Ruo called her quickly.

People from her uncle's family nearby also came forward.

"Mom, please don't get angry!"

"Slow down, slow down!"

"Aunt, what's wrong?" Du Ruo asked hurriedly.

"The doctor has examined him. He is seriously ill and I am afraid he won't live for many days."

"How can this be possible!" Du Ruo stood up, looking nervous, "I'll go get another doctor!"

"Aruo, all the doctors in the capital have examined it. You know that, unless we can invite Doctor Yu."

Doctor Yu...

Apart from the nobles, ordinary officials could not afford to hire a doctor, and their family was even more insignificant.

At this time, Du Ruo's voice rang out, "I'll go get the doctor!"

Her words made everyone look at her.

"I'll go back to see my master. I'm sure he can find a doctor!" Du Ruo's eyes sparkled.

Her master doted on her and loved her so much, she told him that he would definitely be able to find a doctor for her!

Having said that, Du Ruo ran back like a gust of wind.

That night, Cheng Yunshuo came back.

As soon as he came back, he went to her small lotus courtyard.

"Master!"

"What's wrong?"

"My aunt is seriously ill and won't live for many days." Du Ruo looked at Cheng Yunshuo pitifully. "I went back to see her today, and all the doctors said there was nothing they could do."

Cheng Yunshuo heard this and said with sorrow, "Then you should spend the next few days with your aunt."

"No." Du Ruo quickly grabbed his arm, "My brother and his friends said that if we ask a doctor to come and take a look, there might still be hope. Master, please help me get a doctor to take a look at my aunt!"

Please see a doctor...

Cheng Yunshuo's mournful face suddenly became solemn.

Is it easy to hire a doctor?

Even when their mansion was treating the old Marquis Qin, they only invited Doctor Liu to treat him. It was a great honor to invite Doctor Yu.

Either the higher-ups will show mercy and send a caring and considerate doctor to come to your home to check on you, or you'll have to sacrifice all the favors and face in your family!

The man in the family had to go to the Imperial Hospital in person to ask for it.

Even when Qiu Ling had difficulty giving birth, the Cheng family did not seek medical advice.

Of course, if Cheng Yunshuo was there at that time, Xing Dairong would have asked Doctor Yu to come at all costs.

Now she is just Du Ruo's aunt...

"Master, I only have one aunt, and she has been very kind to me since I was a child. Can you bear to see her go like this?" Du Ruosi did not feel the pressure from Cheng Yunshuo at all, and kept pestering him, "As long as you open your mouth, the doctor will come. Just hire one for me!"

Seeing Cheng Yunshuo hesitate to move, Du Ruo turned her head and looked at him with a pair of watery and stubborn eyes, "If you don't help me, I will be angry!"

At this moment, Cheng Yunshuo seemed to see Xing Dairong.

That kind of smartness, stubbornness, cuteness and rebelliousness.

Xing Dairong once said that Du Ruo was like her.

The reason why Cheng Yunshuo treated Du Ruo differently at the beginning was because Du Ruo's personality was somewhat like hers.

Staring into her eyes, Cheng Yunshuo said slowly, "I'll treat you."
