Chapter 89 Even if Hua Tuo were alive, it would be difficult to complete the task
Lin Zhiyi left the house where Lin Luchen and his mother were imprisoned.
I hope that in this life, I can save Aunt Xue’s life, so that I can prevent Lin Luchen from becoming evil.
She couldn't trust Lin Luchen completely and had to observe what happened next.
If she helped him save Aunt Xue's life, and if he became like he did in his previous life and harmed the entire Lin family, she would find a way to kill him.
"Miss Lin."
Hearing the voice, Lin Zhiyi finally realized that the doctor seemed to have told her that he was waiting for her outside the door.
"Doctor, is Concubine Xue's illness not getting better?"
"Miss Lin is truly clever!" the doctor sighed. "I couldn't explain this directly to the patient just now, fearing it might affect her condition. But seeing your kindness, I spoke frankly – she appears to be suffering from a cold, but in reality, her lungs are damaged. This condition... well, even Hua Tuo wouldn't be able to fully diagnose it."
Lin Zhiyi was stunned for a moment.
Is it really impossible to save Aunt Xue’s life?
No matter what, she was going to give it a try.
If she had tried her best, Lin Luchen would not be able to blame their eldest wife afterwards.
"Excuse me, Doctor, do you have any more accomplished doctors in this city? If you can recommend me, I would like to give you two taels of silver as a token of my gratitude."
Lin Zhiyi took out two taels of silver and gave it to the doctor.
Lin Zhiyi was completely lost in the darkness as he had just arrived in a new place where he was unfamiliar with the place.
The doctor knows best which doctor in this place has the best medical skills. If he can get some benefits, things will be much easier.
The doctor glanced at Lin Zhiyi. He had also heard the conversation between her and the young man. He knew that the girl was kind-hearted, so he pushed her.
"No need. There is indeed a miraculous doctor who has given me advice, but the consultation fee is very expensive. If you are willing to spend the money..."
"How much is the consultation fee?"
"That senior doctor has a strange temper, completely dependent on his mood. But he has a quirk—he's a very picky eater! If you can cook a meal that he likes, he might not charge a penny."
Lin Zhiyi's eyes lit up.
She is good at cooking.
"If Miss Ruolin wants to try it, that's fine. I'll go see other patients first. You go to cook. When it's done, I can send it to that senior doctor."
"Thank you very much, doctor. Thank you very much, doctor. I will go prepare the meal right away. Please also prescribe two doses of medicine for Aunt Xue to take first."
It became quiet outside the door.
Lin Luchen, who was leaning against the door and eavesdropping, also walked away.
He thought Lin Zhiyi was just pretending, he didn't expect that this cousin from the eldest wife would really help him.
He remembered that when he was five years old, the young masters and young ladies in the Lin family threw stones at him and called him a "bastard". Among them was this uncle's daughter Lin Zhiyi.
He was hit on the head and bleeding, and returned to the yard.
His mother bandaged him while crying, and advised him to stay away from them in the future.
Lin Jingchu and his sister from the third room, his biological sister and brother, once brought their servants to feed him manure.
The same was true for his second cousin, who tortured him every time he saw him.
He didn't understand why, as young masters of the Lin family, they could live a life of luxury, while he lived worse than a dog of the Lin family.
There is not even any food to eat every day.
Later, when the mother next to Mrs. Zhou came to scold his mother, he hated her even more.
He knew that all this was instigated by Mrs. Zhou.
At that time, he had only one wish, which was to grow up quickly so that he could protect his mother.
But before he grew up, the Lin family was raided.
Unlike other people in the Lin family, he actually felt a bit gloating!
I just feel sorry that the entire Lin family was not executed.
"Mom, you will get better."
Aunt Xue weakly held Lin Luchen's hand and said, "Lu'er, I only have one life left. If I die, I die. I just hope you can live well."
"I don't allow you to say that. I'm not a lowly person. I'm the daughter of a good family. They are the ones who are wrong."
Lin Luchen was trembling all over.
Aunt Xue burst into tears. How could she feel at ease with her son in this state?
"Mother, you originally only had a minor illness. If Madam Zhou had been willing to give us money, your illness wouldn't have developed into a serious one..."
It turned out that Aunt Xue had fallen ill before anything happened in the Lin Mansion.
But the illness was not serious. Lin Luchen went to ask Madam Zhou for help. Aunt Xue needed five taels of silver for medicine. Madam Zhou not only did not give it, but also ordered Lin Luchen to be beaten for disrespecting his stepmother.
"Lu'er, this is all my fate..."
When Aunt Xue saw the hatred bursting out of Lin Luchen's eyes again, she burst into tears out of heartache.
She knew that her son had lived in hatred since childhood.
He hated everyone in the Lin family, even his mother.
Before she died, she only hoped that Lu'er could return to normal so that she could rest in peace.
Maybe the daughter of the eldest wife can help her...
Mrs. Wang also fell ill at this time.
She was already older and could not withstand the hardships along the way, and her illness eventually became more and more serious.
Other people from the second and third branches of the Lin family were also sick. They bought some cold medicine from Lin Zhiyi on the way and were almost recovered after taking two doses.
After the doctor examined Old Lady Wang, the consultation fee and medicine required thirty taels of silver.
Because of her age, cheap medicine may not be effective, so century-old ginseng slices must be added to the medicine.
That hundred-year-old ginseng costs several hundred taels of silver, and with a few ginseng slices, the doctor only charges thirty taels of silver for the medicine, which is not much.
Mrs. Zou and Mrs. Zhou, the two daughters-in-law, were very disgusted with her. The old woman was so expensive and was always showing off her power as an elder along the way. It would be better for her to just die.
But Old Lady Wang was very concerned about her life, so she quickly took out thirty taels of silver and gave it to her son to get medicine for her.
The two sons were originally very filial, but since they had been carrying Old Lady Wang on their backs all the way and Old Lady Wang had been causing all kinds of trouble, they also became fed up with their old mother.
Now it seems that she is reluctant to spend money at other times, but she is very generous when she is sick.
Uncle Lin took the money, called the doctor aside and asked, "Doctor, do you have any cheap medicine? It's okay if it takes a while to heal."
"Two taels of silver."
Uncle Lin took out two taels of silver from his purse and gave it to the doctor, "Just give my mother medicine worth two taels of silver."
The doctor glanced in the direction of Old Lady Wang and said nothing more.
After the doctor left, Uncle Lin put away the thirty taels that Old Lady Wang had given him.
Old Lady Wang had no idea that her son, who had always been filial to her and was under her control, could do such a thing - replacing the medicine for her.
Lin Zhiyi made a total of eight dishes, but because he was not sure about the taste of this miracle doctor, he made a few more dishes.
She looked around nearby and bought some simple ingredients, adding some to her space.
Four-soul pork rib soup, wolfberry leaf and lean meat tofu soup, stir-fried beef with asparagus, shepherd's purse and tofu soup, steamed crab meat and lion's head soup, etc...
A little spiritual spring water is also added when cooking.
The prepared meal was handed to the medicine boy.
When Lin Fu saw Lin Zhiyi coming back, he asked about Aunt Xue's illness.
Lin Zhiyi shook his head and said, "Not very good."
