Chapter 436: Accept Her as a Disciple
Just as Yuzhu's figure disappeared from the kitchen, Master Wu's young apprentice Li Rui was anxiously shuttling back and forth in the corridors of the mansion.
After much difficulty, he found the servant and hurriedly asked, "Where is Madam Xie? I have something urgent to ask her!"
The servant glanced at him and replied leisurely, "Doctor Xie has already gone to Miss Yu's place!"
Li Rui began to wonder in his heart. He had heard rumors in the mansion before that every time Doctor Xie went to see Miss Yu, it would take him an hour or two.
If I had gone earlier, I might be back by now.
He thought about it and decided not to miss it, so he said to the boy, "Then I'll wait here."
The servant raised his lips and showed a meaningful smile, which was a bit ambiguous, and said teasingly: "You should go to Miss Yu's yard and wait! Doctor Xie has gone there, and it will take at least half a day for him to come back."
Li Rui was confused, but as he had a mission to accomplish, he did not have time to think about it and turned around and walked towards Yu Xiuling's yard.
When he arrived at Yu Xiuling's yard, he found it deserted and there was no servant outside.
He was full of doubts and was in a daze when he suddenly heard faint conversation coming from inside the house.
The voice was a little strange, which made him stop unconsciously and prick up his ears to listen carefully.
"Doctor Xie, you, your hand..." Yu Xiuling's voice was filled with a bit of coquettishness and shyness.
"Miss Yu, I'm giving you acupuncture, so I'm going to touch your lower back. Please don't move!" Doctor Xie's voice was steady but with a hint of urgency.
Li Rui's curiosity was piqued, and he tiptoed to the window as if possessed by a ghost, and carefully opened the crack to look inside.
When he saw this, his eyes widened instantly. He saw Yu Xiuling lying on the bed, with her outer coat taken off, revealing a waist as white as snow.
Doctor Xie, on the other hand, did not even cover himself and just touched Miss Yu's body directly with his hands.
Li Rui was so frightened that his face turned pale. He subconsciously took two steps back and kicked the flower pot at the door in panic. A loud "clang" sound instantly broke the "tranquility" in the house.
The two people in the room were startled by the sudden noise.
Yu Xiuling was so scared that she stood up suddenly, and Xie Dan behind her also quickly withdrew his hand in horror.
"Ah..." A shrill scream burst out from Yu Xiuling's mouth.
Xie Dan looked closely and his face turned pale as paper. It turned out that the needle he had just inserted was completely embedded in Yu Lingxiu's waist. He was extremely anxious and shouted, "Hurry, lie down!"
But at this moment, Yu Xiuling was filled with panic, and the severe pain in her waist seemed to be forgotten by her.
She clenched her teeth, her voice trembling slightly due to the pain, but it was full of unquestionable determination: "No, I must go and see who is outside!"
“Hey, why do you care who he is?” Xie Dan was anxious and angry, and his voice trembled unconsciously. “Do you still want your waist?”
He knew in his heart that although the eldest princess already knew about the fact that he occasionally took advantage of Yu Lingxiu, if the eldest princess knew that he had crippled Yu Lingxiu, then he would really lose his life.
Xie Dan shouted at the door with his voice: "Who is that person outside? Come in and help!"
"No, no!" Yu Lingxiu shouted these words with almost all her strength.
Since Xie Dan came to treat her leg, his behavior has become more and more excessive. Because of this, she would send all the maids away before each treatment, just because she didn't want others to see the subtle and somewhat awkward moments between them.
So the person outside now is definitely not from her yard.
If, if it was Lin Miaoyin or someone from Prince Ning's side, then she would be finished.
Xie Dan felt annoyed when he saw Lin Miaoyin struggling in pain.
In desperation, he had to quickly walk outside to see what was going on.
Upon closer look, it turned out to be Li Rui.
Xie Dan's face instantly turned as gloomy as the sky before a storm, and he asked sternly, "What are you doing here? Do you know that you almost messed up the whole thing by being so reckless just now?"
Li Rui was so scared that he lowered his head even lower, and his voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum: "It's the princess who wants to make a medicinal diet for the prince. Master is not sure about the combination of the medicinal ingredients in the medicinal diet, and can't judge whether it is suitable, so he sent me to ask you to come over and check it!"
Xie Dan's brows knitted into a knot, and he said unhappily: "Wait!"
After saying that, he turned and strode into the house.
Looking at Yu Lingxiu lying on the bed, Xie Dan repeated Li Rui's words verbatim.
When Yu Lingxiu heard this, her already pale face turned red instantly, and anger surged in her heart like a raging tide.
She clenched her fists, veins popping out on the back of her hands, and she thought with gritted teeth: That woman Lin Miaoyin caused me to become disabled and have to spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. Now, she's trying to interfere with my treatment!
Yu Lingxiu suppressed the anger in her heart, and suddenly an idea flashed through her mind.
She had originally just asked Nanny Wu to test the waters, but now she was so angry that she could not care about anything else. She stared at Xie Dan and said, "Doctor Xie, don't you want a satisfactory apprentice? I heard that Yuzhu, the maidservant of the princess, is very clever and knows some medical skills. She always smells like medicine and is obviously a good candidate for medical studies. Doctor Xie, don't you want to take her as your apprentice?"
Xie Dan knew very well that the grudge between Yu Lingxiu and Lin Miaoyin was complicated and difficult to sort out.
How could he not hear the twists and turns hidden in Yu Lingxiu's words? It was obvious that she wanted to make things difficult for Lin Miaoyin by using the matter of accepting a disciple.
Xie Dan looked gloomy and stared at Yu Lingxiu with a sharp gaze. He said coldly, "Girl, you should first worry about how to take out the needle in your lower back!"
When Yu Lingxiu heard this, the color on her face instantly faded away, turning as pale as paper. She widened her eyes, full of fear and confusion, and asked in a trembling voice: "What do you mean by taking out the needle? What do you mean by that?"
A trace of impatience flashed across Xie Dan's face, and he explained in a cold tone: "It was because you moved around just now that the needle that was originally inserted into your lower back has now completely sunk into the flesh!"
When saying this, Xie Dan secretly rejoiced in his heart. He couldn't let this trouble fall on his head, he had to clear himself of the responsibility as soon as possible.
Yu Lingxiu lay on the bed, tears welling up in her eyes: "Then, what will be the consequences?"
"To put it in a better way, after it's taken out, your waist will ache from time to time just like your legs. To put it in a worse way, you'll have to lie down like this from now on!"
