Chapter 44 Ling Zixia cleverly persuades the chief steward to leave
After Lin Feng left, Jingsiyuan returned to peace again.
Zhang Mo took a deep look in the direction of the bedroom.
He waved his hand.
He signaled his guards to continue to guard their posts.
As if nothing had happened just now.
Inside the bedroom.
Qing'er's face still showed shock that had not subsided.
She looked at Ling Zi-Xia.
It's like looking at a god walking among the earth.
"master……"
She murmured.
"How...how on earth did you do that?"
Ling Zixia glanced at her indifferently.
"Don't ask if you shouldn't."
Her voice was very soft.
But it carries an unquestionable majesty.
Qing'er's heart trembled.
He immediately lowered his head.
"Yes, I know I was wrong."
Ling Zixia walked back to the table and sat down.
She picked up the teacup.
But I found that the tea inside was empty.
She shouted out the door.
"Mo'er."
Mo'er, who was guarding outside, immediately responded and walked in.
"What are your orders, Master?"
"Go and make another pot of tea."
Ling Zixia ordered.
Mo'er bowed in response.
She picked up the teapot and was about to leave.
A sarcastic voice came from the gate of the courtyard.
"Oh, Aunt Ling is so arrogant."
"You've just gained the Prime Minister's favor, and you're already ordering people around in his study."
The words fell.
A middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe and a clerk's hat.
He led two servants and swaggered into the yard.
This man has a fair face and no beard, and is slightly fat.
There was a glint of shrewdness and calculation in his small eyes.
He was none other than Wang Fu, the chief steward of the Prime Minister's Office.
Wang Fu was one of Zao Wou-Ki's confidants.
His status in the mansion is second only to a few masters.
On weekdays, he is responsible for managing all purchasing expenses in the mansion.
Great power.
I have always had my eyes set high.
Even Li Ruolan had to give him some face.
He made a surprise visit today.
It is obvious that he has bad intentions.
When Zhang Mo saw Wang Fu, his brows furrowed slightly.
He took a step forward and said with a bow.
"Chief Steward Wang, the Prime Minister has ordered that no one is allowed to enter Jingsiyuan without permission."
Wang Fu glanced at Zhang Mo with a forced smile.
"That's what Commander Zhang said."
"We are also following the Prime Minister's orders to come here to replace the furnishings in the courtyard for Aunt Ling."
"What? Can't we even get into our house?"
He took out a list with the Prime Minister's private seal from his sleeve.
It waved in front of Zhang Mo.
Seeing this, Zhang Mo didn't dare to stop him anymore.
I could only move sideways to make way.
Wang Fu snorted complacently.
He led the servant straight to the bedroom door.
He glanced at Mo'er who was about to go out to make tea.
He glanced at Ling Zi-Xia who was standing in the room.
A false smile appeared on his face.
"Mrs. Ling, this old servant pays his respects to you."
He said hello.
He just bowed slightly.
It seems extremely perfunctory.
Ling Zixia stood up from her chair.
Her face regained its timid and weak look.
She nodded slightly at Wang Fu.
"You're too polite, Mr. Wang."
Wang Fu's little eyes rolled around the room.
Finally it landed on the simple wooden bed.
He curled his lips.
Said in an exaggerated tone.
"Oh, look at this place."
"Mrs. Ling is now an honored lady in our house. How can she live in such a simple house?"
"The Prime Minister specifically instructed this old servant to replace all the furnishings in this courtyard with the best ones."
As he spoke, he waved to the servant behind him.
"What are you still standing there for?"
"Don't you see that Auntie's bed is old and broken?"
"Why don't you tear it down and replace it with the Hainan Huanghuali step-out bed in the warehouse?"
The two servants immediately responded and stepped forward.
They walked to the bed.
He reached out to dismantle the wooden bed.
When Qing'er saw this, her face changed.
She immediately stepped forward to stop them.
"What are you going to do!"
Wang Fu glared.
"What? To change the bed for Auntie, of course."
"You little girl, get out of my way."
Qing'er didn't retreat a single step.
She knows.
This bed is old though.
But it was the only thought Ling Zixia's mother left her.
Some relics of the Ling family are hidden in the interlayer of the bed.
If it is demolished by these people.
Those things will inevitably be exposed.
The consequences will be unimaginable.
"No! This bed cannot be dismantled!"
Qing'er's attitude was extremely firm.
Wang Fu's face darkened.
"You are such an ungrateful girl."
"We are here with good intentions to replace the furnishings for your master, and you dare to stop us?"
"Someone, drag this girl out of our house!"
The two servants behind him were about to take action immediately.
Just then.
Ling Zixia suddenly spoke.
Her voice was still soft.
But with a hint of coldness that brooked no room for questioning.
"stop."
Everyone stopped moving.
They all looked at Ling Zixia.
Ling Zixia walked slowly to Wang Fu.
She looked at him.
Said softly.
"Thank you for your kindness, sir."
"It's just that this bed is a relic left by my mother."
"I have been dependent on my mother since I was young. Seeing this object reminds me of her. I hope you will understand."
"I hope the steward will show mercy and leave this little thought for me."
As she spoke, she bowed deeply to Wang Fu.
The posture is extremely low.
Wang Fu looked at her.
There was a smug sneer in his eyes.
He is coming today.
This was originally instructed by Li Ruolan.
He came here intentionally to cause trouble.
Li Ruolan suffered a great loss at the hands of Ling Zixia.
I have always been filled with resentment.
She knew Ling Zixia valued her mother's belongings very much.
So he came up with such a vicious plan.
This is how they want to humiliate Ling Zi-Xia.
Let her watch with her own eyes the thing she cherished most being destroyed.
But there is nothing I can do.
"My aunt, that's too much."
Wang Fu said with a wry smile.
"This is the order of the Prime Minister, and I am only following orders."
"Besides, it's just a broken bed, how can it compare to the favor of the Prime Minister?"
"My aunt, please don't lose sight of the big picture and make the Prime Minister unhappy."
He was determined to dismantle the bed.
Qing'er was so anxious that her face turned pale.
She looked at Ling Zixia for help.
Ling Zixia's face remained calm.
She slowly straightened up.
She looked at Wang Fu.
Suddenly asked an irrelevant question.
"Butler Wang, have you been coughing and having chest tightness at night lately?"
Wang Fu was stunned when he heard this.
He asked subconsciously.
"You...how do you know?"
He has had this problem for several years.
Many doctors were invited to see him.
They just said it was due to overwork and prescribed some tonic medicine.
But there was no improvement.
Ling Zixia didn't answer him.
She continued.
"The root of this disease is not in the lungs, but in the spleen and stomach."
"I usually eat too much greasy food and like to eat raw and cold food."
"This causes dampness to stagnate in the middle burner and then rise up to attack the lungs."
"Ordinary decoctions can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause."
"If this continues, there's a risk of damaging the foundation."
She spoke neither hurriedly nor slowly.
But every word described Wang Fu's symptoms and habits.
Wang Fu's face showed shock.
He could never have imagined it.
This seemingly weak woman.
Just by looking at it.
He can describe his illness so clearly.
Could it be that she really inherited the true teachings of the King of Medicine?
Ling Zixia looked at his shocked expression.
Continued.
"I do have a prescription here that may be helpful to the steward's condition."
She said, walking slowly to the table.
She picked up the teapot from the table.
She poured the last bit of herbal tea left in the pot into the lid of the teacup.
Then.
She was looking at Wang Fu with confusion.
He extended his index finger.
She gently tapped the shallow tea with her fingertips.
The ability of the golden finger was activated again.
A cup of ordinary herbal tea.
It instantly turns into a good medicine that can strengthen the spleen, eliminate dampness, resolve phlegm and relieve cough.
She held the small cup lid.
Walk back to Wang Fu.
"If you trust me, then drink this water."
"Within half an hour, the cough and asthma symptoms will be greatly relieved."
Wang Fu looked at the shallow tea in the cup lid.
A look of hesitation appeared on his face.
On the one hand, he marveled at Ling Zixia's medical skills.
On the other hand, he was also full of fear of this woman's methods.
Who knows if there is some more powerful poison hidden in this water.
Ling Zixia saw his concerns.
She smiled faintly.
"If the steward is worried, there is no need to take it."
"It's just that if your illness continues to drag on."
"Within three years, the condition will turn from real to virtual. By then, no medicine or stone will be able to save you, not even a god can."
"By then, even if I have more wealth and splendor, I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy it."
Her words hit me like a hammer.
It hit Wang Fu's heart hard.
He looked at Ling Zixia's eyes that seemed to see through everything.
The balance in my heart began to swing violently.
On one side was Li Ruolan's order.
On one side is your own life.
It is obvious what to choose.
final.
The desire to survive overwhelms everything.
Wang Fu gritted his teeth.
He took the cup lid from Ling Zixia.
He tilted his neck back.
He drank all the tea.
The tea goes down your throat.
There is no special taste.
Wang Fu was still feeling uneasy.
However, just after he drank the tea.
Less than a quarter of an hour.
A miracle happened.
He suddenly felt an itch in his throat.
A thick phlegm rose from my chest.
He quickly covered his mouth with his handkerchief.
He started coughing violently.
He coughed for a long time.
He finally spat out the thick phlegm that had been accumulating for a long time.
After spitting out the phlegm.
He instantly felt that his entire chest cavity became extremely unobstructed.
Breathing also became smoother than ever before.
The feeling of tightness in his chest that had troubled him for years.
It actually disappeared without a trace.
Wang Fu's face showed an expression of incredible ecstasy.
He looked at Ling Zi-Xia's eyes.
It has completely changed.
It was no longer contempt and calculation.
It's the purest awe and gratitude.
He knew that he had met a living god today.
He said to Ling Zi-Xia without hesitation.
He fell to his knees with a plop.
He kowtowed heavily.
"Thank you... Thank you, Divine Doctor Ling, for saving my life!"
He even changed the way he addressed Ling Zi-Xia.
The two servants behind him.
I was already stunned by the magical scene before me.
They also knelt down.
Ling Zixia looked at Wang Fu who was kneeling on the ground.
A gentle smile appeared on his face.
She took a step forward.
He personally helped Wang Fu up.
"Butler, please get up quickly."
"My humble skills don't make me a miracle doctor."
Wang Fu stood up.
He bowed deeply to Ling Zixia again.
"My aunt's great kindness and generosity will never be forgotten by this old servant."
He then turned around.
He shouted at the two servants who were still trying to dismantle the bed.
"You two blind bastards!"
"Get out of our house now!"
"You guys can move Auntie's bed too?"
The two servants were frightened out of their wits.
He ran out crawling and rolling.
Wang Fu turned around again.
He said to Ling Zi-Xia.
His face was filled with a flattering smile.
"Auntie, look, what is missing in your courtyard?"
"Just ask, I'll do it for you."
"Even if it's the stars in the sky, I will find a way to pick them for you."
His attitude.
Compared with just now.
They are completely different people.
