In response to Fifth Brother's question, Su Ruojin nodded: "The whole Yunquan Manor has a strange atmosphere."
From the information gleaned at the Zhao residence to the attack on the way to Yunquan Manor, and the Bagua illusion array at the manor's entrance, everything reveals that Yunquan Manor is no ordinary manor.
Like Su Yiting, Su Ruojin was also prepared to poach him.
But to everyone's surprise, Butler Zhu let them move in so easily.
"Little sister, I feel like something's not right."
Su Ruojin looked at the old lady on the bed and said calmly, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Fifth Brother, let's be careful."
"good."
On the other side, Granny Cao followed Zhu Chao to his room and mustered her courage to ask, "Steward Zhu, you're just letting them move in like this? How are you going to explain this to the Third Prince?"
"Granny Cao, hasn't anyone told you that if you want to live a long life, you have to learn to shut up?" Zhu Chao's voice was calm and without any fluctuation.
Granny Cao felt a cold sweat pour down her back and dared not say another word. "Yes, Steward Zhu."
"Tell the Third Prince that I will handle these people myself, and that he need not worry."
"Yes." Hearing Steward Zhu say this, Granny Cao finally breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew.
Although she was sent by the Third Prince to assist Zhu Chao, Zhu Chao's way of doing things made Granny Cao afraid of him, and she dared not disobey Zhu Chao's words at all.
The next day, Su Ruojin found Zhu Chao and said, "Steward Zhu, I would like to see my great-uncle."
Zhu Chao said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Miss Su, the master is not at the manor. The eldest young lady took the master to Tianning Temple to pray for blessings."
Su Ruojin was a little puzzled, "Your great-uncle is ill, why did you still have to travel all this way with him, Miss?"
Zhu Chao patiently explained, "The abbot of Tianning Temple, Master Tianyi, has returned from his travels, so the young lady took the master with her."
Miss Su has come from afar, but you may not know that Master Tianyi is a highly skilled person. The pills he refines can cure all diseases and strengthen the body.
However, Abbot Tianyi had a rule: he never treated patients at their homes; those seeking medicine and treatment had to bring the sick person to the academy.
I see.
"Where is Tianning Temple located? How far is it from Yuncheng? When will Miss be able to return?"
"Tianning Temple is located in the southeast of Yuncheng, and it takes five hours by carriage to get there. As for when the young lady will return, I, Zhu, do not know either. There are simply too many people seeking treatment from Master Tianyi, and there are often long queues. In addition, no one knows how long the treatment will take."
If Miss Su wishes to go, I can send a carriage to take her.
Su Ruojin said no more. "Thank you, Butler Zhu. In that case, I will not go for the time being."
Zhu Chao watched Su Ruojin's departing figure, his eyes dark and unreadable.
For the next few days, Su Ruojin stayed at the manor to treat the old lady's illness.
Zhu Chao never disturbed him, but simply had his meals delivered on time.
“Little sister, we’ve been at the villa for the past few days, and everything seems to be normal.” Su Yiting walked into the old lady’s room.
Su Ruojin put away the silver needles: "They are indeed quite good."
Medicines and food were readily available; whatever one wanted, they had it all. Zhu Chao was always accommodating.
Su Ruojin felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Su Yiting glanced at the old lady: "Little sister, when will the old lady recover?"
Su Ruojin shook her head: "Treatment of dementia is very slow, and it won't get better in a short time."
Su Ruojin helped the old lady sit up.
The old lady stared blankly ahead, completely unfocused. She waved her hand in front of her eyes, but there was no reaction, as if she had lost her soul.
