Chapter 56 So Sour
Gao frowned and said, "You are so impatient. What a shame!"
The maid lost her balance and fell to the ground as she stepped back. Her eyes were still filled with shock and horror as she looked at Gao.
"Ma'am, your face!"
"What's wrong with my face?" Gao raised her hand and touched it, but suddenly found that the touch was a little strange.
The originally smooth skin now felt bumpy and rough to the touch.
Her heart sank at that moment.
At this moment, the attention of everyone at the table was also drawn to this. When they saw Gao's appearance at this moment, they were all shocked.
Sensing that the atmosphere was not right, Gao was panicked and turned to Ye Heng for help: "Master, I——"
Ye Heng's eyelids twitched.
Gao's face and neck were suddenly covered with red rashes without her noticing!
Gao felt inexplicably itchy on her face and couldn't help but scratch it.
Flat bumps immediately grew on the places where he had scratched at a speed visible to the naked eye. The dark red and purple colors varied in shades and looked very creepy.
Ye Heng's hair stood up all over his body. He immediately took two steps back and stayed far away. It seemed that Gao was something unclean at the moment and he was afraid of being contaminated by her.
"Someone! Send the lady back to her room!"
Gao didn't know what was going on when she heard Ye Heng trying to kick her out, and she became extremely panicked.
She also felt the uneven marks on her face, and her voice was trembling: "I, I - how could this happen!"
It would have been fine if she didn't touch it. The more she touched it, the more itchy it became. A piercing itch like an ant crawling on it came over her, forcing Gao to scratch her face harder and harder.
This scene is extremely weird.
Ye Heng felt deeply ashamed—there were so many colleagues present! If they saw such a scene, I don’t know how they would spread it privately!
He shouted at the maid, "What are you still standing there for?"
The maid hurriedly got up from the ground, took a quick glance at Gao's appearance at this moment, her heart numbed, and she shrank forward.
However, before she could touch Gao, a gentle and clear female voice suddenly came.
"Is Second Aunt having an emergency?"
Gao looked up in panic, and was met with a pair of dark and gentle eyes.
"How about asking Doctor Zhang to take a look?"
This sound reminded Ye Heng, and he immediately shouted, "Doctor Zhang!"
…
Gao finally went to the side hall, followed by Doctor Zhang and others.
Because he still had to entertain the remaining guests, Ye Heng did not go with them.
However, this small episode has subtly changed the atmosphere at the table.
Xiaowu sat next to Ye Chutang, tilted his head and glanced in the direction of the side hall, his eyes seemed timid.
Ye Chutang touched her little face and whispered to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, Xiaowu, Second Aunt just had some problems suddenly, it shouldn't be a big deal."
When many people heard this, they remembered the red and swollen rashes on Gao's face just now, and then looked at the carefully prepared dishes and lost their appetite.
Who could have thought that such a situation would occur out of the blue?
Ye Heng also felt very uncomfortable.
Although Gao was not born into a high-class family and was of a small family, she was pretty and well-maintained, and even now she still looked a bit like the prettiness of her youth. Ye Shixian inherited her beauty and was thus beautiful.
I was thinking that today's family dinner would be a good opportunity to build some good relationships, but who knew something like this would happen!
How do others see this?
I'm so embarrassed!
…
In the side hall, Gao saw herself in the mirror and stepped back in fear.
“W-What’s going on? Why did my face become like this?!”
She panicked and turned back to hold Ye Shixian's hand tightly.
"Xian'er! Xian'er!"
Ye Shixian's eyes flashed, and she calmly broke free from her hand, then patted her arm with a handkerchief.
"Mom, don't worry. Doctor Zhang is here. Please ask him to take a look at you."
Gao finally managed to calm herself down, but her heart was still beating wildly.
When she thought of the ghostly face she saw in the mirror just now, she wanted to die!
Ye Shixian took a step back and made room for Doctor Zhang: "Thank you for your help."
Doctor Zhang stepped forward to feel Gao's pulse, pondered for a while, and his brows furrowed more and more.
"It looks like poisoning, but I've never seen it before... Madam, have you eaten anything you shouldn't have eaten before? Or touched anything you shouldn't have touched?"
Gao's mind was in a mess: "No!"
She has been busy with the family dinner today and has done nothing else!
Doctor Zhang hesitated: "This...would you please think about it again?"
Gao suddenly thought of something——
"Ye Chutang! It must be her!"
Doctor Zhang was startled: "What?"
Gao was angry: "I didn't do anything today. I just touched her hand just now. If it wasn't her, it would have been——"
"Mother." Ye Shixian immediately interrupted her and quickly glanced at Doctor Zhang.
This is in front of outsiders, how can you say it so bluntly!
"Mom, maybe you remembered it wrongly? There are many people at home today. Who knows if you were not paying attention and touched something dirty?"
Doctor Zhang looked at his nose and his heart, pretending not to hear.
The Ye family is not as close to this niece who was finally found as it seems.
An orphan girl is indeed easy to bully. Even if the basin of dirty water is poured directly on her head, she will have no other choice.
But...the Prince of Dingbei is right here!
From what he said just now, who couldn't hear that he was protecting Ye Chutang and his siblings!
Wouldn't it be foolish to rashly offend Ye Chutang for the sake of Gao's family now?
Doctor Zhang stroked his beard and said in embarrassment: "My medical skills are limited, and I have never seen a case like yours. How about I prescribe a prescription for you to use first? Otherwise, please ask for someone else's help?"
…
Something went wrong with the Gao family, and the family dinner could not go on halfway through.
No one wanted to stay any longer, and soon someone stood up to leave.
Ye Heng wanted to keep her, but he knew in his heart that she didn't want to stay there any longer. Moreover, he didn't know what happened to Gao's family, and he was very upset.
The meal that I had prepared with great effort was wasted.
Ye Heng suppressed his anger and personally saw the guest off.
Xu Fengchi came to Ye Chutang again, with many words stuck in his throat, but he didn't know how to start.
From today's situation, it is not difficult to get a glimpse of the situation of Ye Chutang and others in the Ye Mansion.
Although he could help, he couldn't stay with her day and night.
Finally, he could only say, "I just got back. Take a good rest and recuperate. Come to my house when you have time. You are always welcome."
Ye Chutang knelt down and saluted: "Thank you for your concern, Uncle Xu."
Xu Rongqing took a few steps, but turned back, looked at Ye Chutang, and whispered with concern: "Take care, sister Chutang."
Ye Chutang's lips curved slightly and he nodded gently: "I know."
After the Xu family's carriage drove away, Ye Chutang heard a familiar sound of footsteps behind him.
She turned around and said, "Farewell, Prince."
Shen Yanchuan, who had not yet stepped out of the door, said: "..."
He had just asked Ye Heng a few more questions when he saw this scene and was hurriedly sent away.
"Doctor Ye has just returned to Beijing and there have been many troubles. If you need any help, please let me know."
Ye Chutang looked at him.
Could these disturbances be as much trouble as the one he caused?
She politely declined and handed over the carved nanmu box: "Thank you, Prince, but you have already paid for the consultation and don't owe me anything. You should take this thank you gift back."
Chen Yanchuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
"How could that be? Doctor Ye had to take care of my younger brothers and sisters alone, and he also had to treat me, a patient. It was really hard work. I should thank you."
Ye Chutang: “…”
Lian Zhou looked down at the ground and wrinkled his nose.
No, it feels a bit sour for some reason...
"Ye Chutang!"
A figure rushed towards this side, it was Ye Mingze.
His face was filled with anger, he pointed at Ye Chutang and said angrily:
"It's you!"
