Chapter 239: To save or not to save?
Qi Qingyu knew it was impolite to ask about his brother's private parts.
But the mother's starting point was good, so she could only bite the bullet and ask Ye Chutang.
Ye Chutang looked at Qi Qingyu's hot face and asked instead of answering.
"Why did you suddenly ask about this, elder sister?"
Qi Qingyu stopped beating around the bush and said, "It's been nearly two months since I was exiled. My sister-in-law hasn't come to the sunbathing room, right?"
Madam Qi originally didn't pay attention to whether Ye Chutang had her period.
She only remembered it because Ye Siyin had been bleeding heavily since her miscarriage.
She was worried that Ye Chutang was pregnant and didn't know it, so she asked her daughter to find out.
After hearing what Qi Qingyu said, Ye Chutang immediately guessed what Old Madam Qi wanted to ask.
"No, I was tortured by servants when I was a child, and my health is not very good, which caused me to have irregular periods, often without my period for several months."
The reason why she didn't tell the truth was that if the Qi family knew she was pregnant, they would definitely be cautious with her, and it would be difficult to hide the pregnancy.
And the longer we keep it secret, the safer our children will be.
Qi Qingyu realized that his mother was overthinking it and quickly apologized.
"Sister-in-law, don't think too much, we are just worried about your health."
She was a little disappointed, but more fortunate.
Because the journey of exile was so stressful, it was difficult to keep the child.
Ye Chutang handed Qi Qingyu some lotus seeds and said with a smile, "I know, thank you."
Qi Qingyu felt relieved and took the lotus seeds.
After she ate two pills, she asked about Qi Yanzhou's fire poison.
"Sister-in-law, can the poison in Azhou's body be cured? Will there be any accidents?"
"The fire poison can be cured, but whether there will be any accidents is not up to me."
No one can predict what will happen in the future.
Qi Qingyu's eyelids drooped, and her long eyelashes hid the worry in her eyes.
"Good things will happen to good people. Ah Zhou will be fine!"
These words were spoken not only to Ye Chutang, but also to myself.
Ye Chutang pushed the loose hair behind her ears and nodded firmly.
"certainly."
After saying this, she withdrew her gaze from the center of the lake and turned around.
"Eldest sister, let's go back. Let's rest early tonight and set off early tomorrow."
"Okay, let's go."
Just as the two were about to leave, they heard a man exclaim.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
His voice was so anxious that he was about to cry, mixed with a lot of worry.
"Is there a doctor? Come and save my mother!"
Ye Chutang didn't want to meddle in Dingzhou's affairs, fearing it was a trap.
She pretended not to hear and didn't stop.
Although Qi Qingyu has a kind heart, he also knows the current situation and it is better to have less trouble than more.
She followed Ye Chutang and continued walking towards the entrance of Luoxia Lake.
The man's helpless voice continued.
"I am Pei Zirong, the leader of the Dingzhou garrison. Whoever can save my mother will be given wealth and honor by me!"
After hearing this, Ye Chutang stopped.
Qi Qingyu was very close to her and had no time to stop, so he bumped into her thin back.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
Ye Chutang turned and walked towards Pei Zirong.
"Go and have a look."
Qi Qingyu grabbed Ye Chutang's arm and reminded him, "He is the emperor's man, it is very likely a trap."
"No matter how stupid Pei Zirong is, he won't plot against us in a crowded place."
With the Qi family's current reputation, not to mention a garrison general, even the emperor would have to avoid them.
Seeing that Ye Chutang had made up his mind, Qi Qingyu stopped trying to persuade him.
The two soon arrived at the pavilion where Madam Pei had the accident.
Inside the pavilion there was only the old lady lying on the ground and Pei Zirong crying anxiously.
Everyone in Dingzhou knew how filial Pei Zirong was, and they were worried that he would suffer an unexpected disaster, so they all stayed away from him after the old lady got into trouble.
The big and strong man looked isolated and helpless, which was very pitiful.
Pei Zirong saw that bribery was useless and started threatening.
"Why are you all running? If you don't help, I will make you pay with your lives!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw two beautiful women coming in front of him.
Ye Chutang glanced at the old woman lying on the ground with a dark face, and introduced himself.
"I'm Ye Chutang."
Pei Zirong had never met Ye Chutang, but he knew her identity.
His eyes, red with anxiety, showed alertness.
Because she is a member of the Qi family.
In an instant, a gleam of light flashed across his eyes again.
Because of her high medical skills.
Ye Chutang noticed the change in Pei Zirong's expression and said, "I can save your mother, can you give me wealth and glory?"
If Ye Chutang was not from the Qi family, Pei Zirong could certainly give it to her.
But...
"Choose the emperor or your mother. The decision is yours."
These words turned into a heavy hammer, hitting Pei Zirong's heart.
He pursed his thick lips and threatened: "If you don't save my mother, you won't be able to leave Dingzhou City alive!"
Ye Chutang raised his eyebrows with a forced smile.
"Then give it a try."
After saying that, she pulled Qi Qingyu away.
Pei Zirong became anxious and immediately stood up to grab Ye Chutang.
Just as he was about to grab Ye Chutang's clothes, someone suddenly appeared and stopped him.
It's the National Protection Army.
Their martial arts were much better than Pei Zirong's, and they subdued him in the blink of an eye.
"Mrs. Qi is not someone you can kill just because you want to."
Pei Zirong roared: "I am a third-rank general, let me go immediately!"
Ye Chutang chuckled when he heard this.
"General Pei's authority is used against the wrong people."
After she finished speaking, her gaze fell on Old Madam Pei, who was breathing out more than breathing in.
"Your mother is dying, are you going to save her or not?"
Pei Zirong was suppressed and unable to move. He asked coldly: "What do you want?"
Ye Chutang waved to the National Protection Army.
After they let go of Pei Zirong, he stretched out three fingers.
"Three conditions."
"you say."
"First, kneel down and beg me."
Pei Zirong knelt down facing Ye Chutang without saying a word and kowtowed.
"Please ask Madam Qi to save my mother. She is kind-hearted and a good person."
Ye Chutang was unmoved and added: "Second, 100,000 winter clothes for the soldiers."
Pei Zirong stood up and his body swayed a little due to the pain in his legs.
After hesitating, he asked, "When do you want it?"
"tomorrow."
In other words, let him take out the winter clothes of the Dingzhou garrison!
"good."
"Third, swear on your mother's life that you owe me a favor. Even if I ask you to kill someone and let the traitor go, you will not refuse."
Pei Zirong's body shook and his expression looked extremely ugly.
"My sons are all held hostage in the capital."
He is a filial son and a loving father.
If the favor Ye Chutang asked for was for him to deal with the emperor, he could not agree.
Ye Chutang took a step forward and said in a low voice: "General Pei, I will use one benefit to exchange for another favor from you."
"What's the meaning?"
"If I need you one day, I will help you rescue your son who is held hostage in the capital. I will give you two favors in exchange for this benefit. Isn't that a loss?"
