Chapter 118 Fighting for a Position

She wanted to hate him, but what could she do? It was as disgusting as if she had eaten maggots.

"Madam, don't worry. There are so many famous doctors in the world. If the imperial physician can't cure the young master's leg, there may be some miracle doctors among the common people who can. We still have to recover and then ask around. Maybe there is still a chance."

Nanny Jiao's words were like a stream of clear water, moistening Madam Wei's dry heart.

The spirit in his eyes regained some of its brightness, and he muttered to himself.

"Yes, there is also a miracle doctor. I can't fall down. If I am really stumped by such a thing, wouldn't Dongyuan laugh at me?"

Even though Dongyuan was almost wiped out, they were still able to survive in peace, so they couldn't show weakness.

Thinking of this, he closed his eyes and calmed himself down, then gave instructions to Aunt Jiao.

"Send someone to send a message to father and aunt, asking them to find a good doctor outside. We can bear any price, as long as He'er's leg can be healed, even if it requires human flesh as an inducement."

Aunt Jiao nodded. She knew Madam Wei's determination very well, so she did not doubt this move.

Mrs. Wei spoke in a hurry and started coughing. After she finally caught her breath, she began to ask.

"Where's Dongyuan? What has he been doing these days?"

"I didn't hear any movement, but it seems that everyone went out today."

"Leaving together?"

"Well, there are three carriages ready. I think they have all left."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wei fell silent and began to think carefully.

They are still mobilizing a large army at this time. I guess it's something about the General's Mansion.

Thinking about how I was in such a mess here, while Dongyuan was only focused on having a better life.

How could she bear it? "If He'er's legs are damaged, his future will be ruined. Now only the title of young master can give him some security. Silang is just like his father, useless, so we have to prepare in advance."

After listening to Mrs. Wei's words, Aunt Jiao also felt that it made sense.

"Don't they want to move? Okay, then I'll give them a big gift. I want to see if they can still live happily if something happens to the elders in the family!"

After saying this, Mrs. Wei glanced at Aunt Jiao.

The two have been master and servant for decades, so naturally they have a mutual understanding and can tell what the other is thinking with just a glance.

Poor Duke, he doesn't know what he will face next, and he is still sitting there as if he is a god, studying his favorite poems and paintings.

There were three carriages parked in front of the general's mansion.

"Young Madam, we're here."

"Um."

Immediately afterwards, Du Jingyi and others got out of the carriage.

She and her eldest sister-in-law Liu were calm, but her eighth sister Xueniang wore a veil. After all, she was an unmarried girl and had to be more careful when going out.

Shang Zhiping, who was standing next to him, showed a hint of excitement on his face when he saw the three big words "General's Mansion", but he was more nervous about the unknown.

He was like this, as was his eldest sister-in-law Liu and his eighth sister Xue Niang.

Du Jingyi looked at them and said with a smile.

"When I first came with the general to see this mansion, I was also a little nervous. I was afraid that the mansion was too big and I wouldn't be able to control it in the future. But if you move in, the yard will be much more lively. And with my sister-in-law here, no little devil will dare to mess with us."

What she said made the three of them laugh.

Especially the eldest sister-in-law Liu, she even made a joke for the first time.

"So, I am a popular person in front of the King of Hell? Even the little ghosts dare not act rashly."

"No way, it's obviously a Bodhisattva from heaven, any ghost would avoid it if they saw it."

Du Jingyi's few words put his sister-in-law in a good mood, and the tension she had just felt disappeared.

"Let's go in and take a look at what our new home will look like."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Xueniang and Shang Zhiping followed closely.

Once you step into the mansion, everyone's eyes are full of surprise.

The bricklaying team that Madam Dou found not only did their work finely but also quickly. In addition, the servants that had been arranged previously were also gradually arranged in.

So after this cleanup, the entire general's mansion became much more magnificent than before.

The front hall is grand, with all the furniture made of rosewood, and precious trees planted on both sides at the locations determined by a Feng Shui master.

Each one is well taken care of. Even in winter, they don't look bleak at all. Instead, they exude a stubborn and arrogant vitality.

It is a refreshing sight to watch.

Walking along the corridor to the inner courtyard, you will see a bright and open view.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

If the front hall is used for entertaining guests and should be grand and majestic, then the inner house is where the family members live and should be comfortable and cozy as well as exquisite and sophisticated.

Moreover, most of the people in the general's mansion are from the Gu family, so the background of this prestigious family is also indispensable.

Therefore, the renovation of this inner house is three points neater than that of the Gu family in Jinling City.

Up and down, everything was built with great expense.

He was neither too overbearing nor too impressive, yet he had to show some outstanding ideas, so he dazzled many people.

It was probably beyond imagination. As soon as the eighth sister Xue Niang entered the inner house, she refused to even wear a veil.

He took it down and handed it to the maid Chunning, saying excitedly.

"This general's mansion is so beautiful, Sixth Sister-in-law, can we really move in with us?"

"Eighth sister, are you talking nonsense? Let's go take a look at your yard. I guess you must like it."

When she heard that they were going to see the yard, Eighth Sister Xue Niang's eyes also lit up.

"Come on, come on, I want to see it too."

As Du Jingyi was talking, he asked Madam Dou to lead the way.

It took them about half an incense stick of time to reach the east yard, which made the eldest sister-in-law Liu and the eighth sister Xue Niang a little breathless.

"I thought the General's Mansion would be big, but I didn't expect it to be this big. We can walk back and forth in East Garden a few times and it's not that far."

"That's true, Miss Eight. But this is only the east courtyard. The entire General's Mansion also includes the west courtyard, the main courtyard in the north, the guard station, the martial arts training ground, and the back garden. If we really walk through this huge area, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave today."

Hearing what Madam Dou said, Xueniang's bright little face showed a hint of sadness.

Then he sighed.

"Then I have to walk around more in the future. Otherwise, when I move here, I'm afraid my legs and feet will be swollen from walking around to visit my eldest and sixth sisters-in-law."

Her words made everyone laugh.

Talking and laughing, they arrived at the East Courtyard.

After renovation, this place looks brand new.

When I first came here some time ago, I thought only the scenery was beautiful, but now I see that everything is so detailed and exquisite.

All the things were replaced with new ones, even the sewing stand that Ba Niang usually used was made of yellow pear wood, which was so elegant.
