Chapter 214: Yao Lao came to the mansion, wasn’t it because of the Wuguohou Mansion?
In the pavilion, Lan Xiyue had half of her face buried in her arms.
"Miss, Miss~"
Chuchun's voice came from far away, with undisguised panic.
Lan Xiyue raised her head and the bright sunlight made her squint.
"What's wrong?" she asked lazily, her voice still hoarse from sleep.
Chuchun trotted into the pavilion, her skirt lifted, her cheeks flushed from the hasty running. "Miss, it's bad. The second young lady has hanged herself, and the second young master is in trouble too. The old lady fainted when she heard about it. The mansion is in chaos now, and the master hasn't returned from court yet."
Chuchun looked at her young lady's indifferent expression and stamped her feet anxiously: "Young lady! Did you hear what this servant said? Old lady..."
"Oh, did you ask for a doctor?"
Chuchun was stunned: "Ah? Go and invite him."
Lan Xiyue waved her hand and yawned: "Lan Lingrou is dead, so she is dead. The old lady fainted, so just call a doctor. Be good and don't disturb me. I'm going to take a nap." After she finished speaking, she lay back on the stone table and closed her eyes to pretend to be asleep.
Chuchun looked back every few steps as she left the pavilion. Chuxia came over and asked, "How's it going? Did you tell the young lady? Do you want to go over and take a look?"
Chuchun pointed at Lan Xiyue who was dozing in the pavilion and said, "Miss, you look like you didn't get enough rest last night. You look very listless."
Chu Xia looked over and said, "Ah? The young lady is sleeping on the stone table. What a mess the mansion is in. This..."
Chuchun pulled Chuxia, "Shh! Keep your voice down. Let the young lady sleep a little longer. She looks very tired. The young master is taking a medicinal bath, and the young lady is worried about going back to rest. You go and keep an eye on her. If anything happens, come back and report immediately."
Chuxia nodded, turned around and walked out.
Inside Qingyou Courtyard, Aunt Hong hurried her steps, looking outside from time to time, frowning and asking, "Why hasn't the doctor arrived yet?"
The maids in the room all lowered their heads and held their breath, not daring to answer.
Lan Jiaoyun leaned against the table, twisting her handkerchief between her fingertips, and murmured in a low voice, "Why would Second Sister suddenly commit suicide? And Second Brother had to get into trouble at this critical moment... Auntie, that Lan Xiyue is really a disaster! I heard she returned home last night, and look, as soon as she returned, the whole house was in turmoil."
Aunt Hong frowned, her eyes slightly cold: "Has the eldest lady been informed?"
The maidservant beside her said tremblingly, "My aunt, we have...we have sent someone to invite him, but Miss Chuchun said...the eldest young master is having his leg treated, and the eldest young lady is worried about him and can't get away..."
Lan Jiaoyun snorted coldly, her eyes full of sarcasm: "She is so generous! Grandmother has fainted, and she didn't even show up, just focused on guarding her disabled brother!"
Concubine Hong raised her eyebrows, not smiling, "Young Master's legs have been seen by many famous doctors before, and they all said they were difficult to treat. So which miracle doctor is treating you today?"
"Yes...it's the miracle doctor."
A gleam of light flashed in Hong Yi Niang's eyes. After a moment's silence, she suddenly stood up and said, "Yun'er, come with me to the eldest young master's courtyard. Since Yao Lao is in the mansion, it's a good opportunity to ask him to treat your grandmother. The mansion is already in chaos, and your grandmother must not be in any danger."
Lan Jiaoyun quickly followed up: "Auntie is right! Yao Lao's medical skills are superb, he will definitely be able to save grandma!"
Chuxia came back in a hurry, and Chuchun hurried forward and asked, "What's wrong?"
Chu Xia took a breath and said, "Auntie Hong and the Third... Third Miss are coming towards the eldest young master's yard."
Upon hearing this, Chuchun frowned and went into the pavilion with Chuxia.
Chuchun gently nudged Lan Xiyue's shoulder: "Miss, wake up! Aunt Hong and the Third Miss are coming to the eldest young master's courtyard!"
Lan Xiyue slowly raised her eyes, a hint of fatigue still lingering in her eyes, and her voice was slightly hoarse: "What are they doing here?"
Chu Xia shook her head: "I don't know."
Lan Xiyue stood up, brushed her sleeves, and just as she stepped out of the pavilion, she saw Aunt Hong and Lan Jiaoyun approaching, surrounded by a group of maids and old women, making quite a grand scene.
Hong Yi Niang smiled, but her tone was sharp: "Miss, the second young lady hanged herself last night, and the second young master suffered a sudden misfortune. The old lady was shocked and fainted, and has not woken up yet. I heard that the miracle doctor is at home, so I came here to ask him to treat the old lady."
Lan Xiyue's lips curled slightly, but the smile didn't reach her eyes: "Auntie, Yao Lao has a strange personality, and he won't give face to everyone."
Lan Jiaoyun couldn't hold back and snorted coldly, "Big sister! Trouble has been brewing since you came back to the mansion. You really are such a disaster star..."
“Bang!”
A resounding slap suddenly rang out, catching Lan Jiaoyun off guard. She stumbled back several steps, covering her face in shock and anger. "Lan Xiyue! You hit me again?!"
Lan Xiyue slowly withdrew her hand, her eyes frosty. "Third sister, you're always asking for a beating with your mouth. How dare a mere concubine's daughter act so presumptuously in front of me? Who gave you the courage, Fish Leong, huh?"
"Yun'er..."
Aunt Hong's face darkened, and she sternly said, "I don't recognize 'Fiona Fish Leong'! But the mansion is in such chaos, and even if Yun'er's words were inappropriate, she was worried about Grandmother! As the eldest daughter, she didn't show up when the old lady fainted. Does she still have any filial piety?"
Lan Xiyue sneered, her eyes growing even colder. "Grandma has fainted, so we should go get a doctor. Do you think she'll wake up if I go?"
Hong Yi Niang's face darkened, and anxiety flashed in her eyes. "I've already sent for the doctor, but he hasn't arrived yet. Now that Yao Lao is in the mansion, why not ask him to look after the old lady first? The mansion is in chaos. If the old lady gets into trouble again, who will take the responsibility? Young lady, you need to know your priorities!"
Lan Xiyue gathered her sleeves nonchalantly and asked, "Why? My brother's legs are not important?"
Lan Jiaoyun glared at Lan Xiyue fiercely and said loudly, "Old Yao has come to treat Big Brother several times. It must be because of the face of the Wuguo Marquis Mansion. I have also come to see Big Brother's leg before, but the possibility of a cure is not great. Of course, now it is more important to treat Grandma."
After saying that, she stepped forward and shouted at the closed door, "Master Yao, my grandmother has suddenly fainted. Please come over and examine her!"
The house was silent.
Lan Jiaoyun frowned and raised her voice again: "Did Yao Lao hear that? My grandmother fainted, I hope you can..."
Before he could finish his words, the door creaked open.
A young medicine boy in green clothes walked out with a cold expression, his eyes like knives. "What are you yelling about? You dare to disturb my master's acupuncture just because you fainted? Is the reputation of your Wuguo Marquisate more important than the sky?"
Lan Jiaoyun was stunned. "No, isn't it because of Wu Guohou Mansion that Yao Lao came to the mansion?"
The medicine boy snorted coldly, "The Wuguo Marquisate is just a mere place, our Medicine Master doesn't even take it seriously."
The medicine boy turned and looked at Lan Xiyue with much more respect. He bowed and said, "Princess."
Lan Jiaoyun's eyes widened, "Who are you calling Princess?"
The medicine boy heard what was said outside just now, so he had no good impression of Lan Jiaoyun. He didn't need to curry favor with someone the princess hated.
He turned around and gave Lan Jiaoyun a cold look, "If your eyesight is not good, go get treatment. The princess is so big and standing here alone, can't you see her?" After saying that, the medicine boy politely bowed to Lan Xiyue again, then turned and went into the house, closing the door with a "bang".
