Chapter 17 The person who dies at the coming-of-age ceremony must be an unlucky person
"Shouguo Mansion, it's Shouguo Mansion again, Gu Ruanci, you did it on purpose!"
Zhou Zhili finally lost control and kicked the door violently.
"Are you crazy? Do you want to scare your mother to death?" Pan shouted at him with an angry expression.
Zhou Zhili regretted his stupidity just now, and felt that there was a fire in his chest that he had no way to relieve.
"But the eldest prince has already ordered people to return to the palace to invite another imperial physician..."
The servant then got the chance to finish what he was saying.
"You go down first..."
Ye Lanxin waved her hand. She knew that Zhou Zhili would vent his anger on anyone who did their job poorly.
Zhou Qinzhu felt extremely uncomfortable and her tears never stopped.
"I really shouldn't have lived. If I had died that day, my sister would have been happy and would have returned to the Marquis' Mansion. None of this would have happened, and Little Medical Fairy wouldn't have refused to treat Grandmother... If Grandmother had really died, how would I have faced anyone..."
Her heart-breaking voice and the tears that fell made Zhou Zhili even more upset, although he also felt distressed.
Ye Lanxin and the others had long been aware of this problem. Zhou Qinzhu's grandmother died during her coming-of-age ceremony. In the future, she would definitely be considered unlucky by the people of the entire Dizhou, and her future marriage would be difficult.
Ye Chengyun, the second son of the second branch of the Ye family who had made a bet with Gu Yuxuan, said inappropriately: "Cousin, don't be sad. Grandpa and grandma are here. They will definitely help my uncle and aunt find a solution. You look so beautiful today. If you cry anymore, you will not be beautiful anymore..."
Pan patted his forehead and said, "You little bastard, say something useful now..."
Ye Chengyun raised his head and looked at Zhou Zhili's red eyes and was shocked.
He shrank his neck, thinking that it was a good thing that he didn't have time to tell everyone about the bet he made with Gu Yuxuan.
Zhou Yuxiu and his two brothers took Zhou Qinzhu's words to heart. That's right, it was all Gu Ruanci's fault.
Although another imperial physician finally arrived and took all measures, he finally stood up and shook his head, saying that the old lady's body really could not withstand such torture and it was better to let nature take its course.
These words directly defeated Zhou Zhili and his three sons.
"How is that possible? Imperial Physician Zang clearly said that if grandmother's body can hold on until the Little Medical Fairy arrives, there will definitely be hope." Zhou Yuxiu was dumbfounded.
He is the prince, the eldest son, and the first child snatched away from Ye Hesheng by the old lady. He has lived with the old lady for the longest time and they have a deep relationship.
The imperial physician bowed helplessly and said that his medical skills were limited and could not be compared with those of Imperial Physician Zang, so how could he dare to be on par with the Little Medical Immortal.
The Zhou family also understood that it was not wise to embarrass the imperial physician at this time.
After the imperial physician left, the atmosphere in the Zhou family dropped to freezing point.
"They shouldn't have come back..." Zhou Yuxiu couldn't help but said.
"That's right, all of this is caused by them. I'm going to go to Xuandi Temple to ask her clearly and make her give me an explanation."
Zhou Yuzhi remembered what his elder brother said, that Ye was now in Xuan Di Temple.
Ye Lanxin held him back and said guiltily, "I'll be the one to go. I won't complain, even if I have to kneel or kowtow. Even if you ask me to leave the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion immediately, I won't complain. As long as you're willing to come forward and explain that what happened back then wasn't caused by my mother-in-law, and ask the Little Medical Fairy to save someone's life, I'm willing to do anything."
"I'll go with you. I don't believe this rebellious girl would dare to deny me as her father."
Ye Keguan made up his mind and remembered that when Ye Hesheng divorced, she said that she would sever the father-daughter relationship with him from then on just because he did not help her get justice.
Mrs. Pan did not express her opinion, but just sighed.
"She is now a lay Buddhist at the Xuan Emperor Temple, and Taoist Qing Tuan is attending Gu Ruanci's family recognition banquet at the Shouguo Mansion. You won't be able to see her even if you go..."
Zhou Zhili was upset and spoke weakly.
"Are we just going to watch my mother-in-law leave in such pain?" Ye Lanxin asked.
Zhou Zhili closed his eyes, not daring to look at his mother in the room.
"Let me go. I should be the one that my aunt really cared about back then..." Zhou Qinzhu spoke again.
"This has nothing to do with you. You were just a five-year-old child back then. She couldn't even tolerate her own sister and a five-year-old child. You have no right to occupy the position of mistress. What's more, you are a girl and will not affect our status at all. She is just jealous." As a young master, Zhou Yuqi was spoiled by the old lady since he was a child, so he would speak more without restraint.
"Let Yu Xiu and the other two go. After all, they are her own sons. I don't believe she would be so cruel as to disappear. Even if we can't see them, we have to make some noise to let people know that if anything happens to their mother-in-law, it's all their fault."
Ye Keguan finally made the decision, and everyone had no objection after hearing it.
"If it weren't for my grandmother, I really wouldn't want to see her." Zhou Yuqi muttered and went to prepare.
The Shouguo Mansion was a completely different scene.
One big shot after another actually showed up in the mansion, and it was not the Duke of Shou and his wife who took the initiative to invite them.
Although they all emphasized that if it were not for Duke Shouguo guarding the border over the years and keeping the country stable, they would not have everything they have now, but Gu Congyun still felt that their arrival was not that simple.
What's more, the Prince Duan's Mansion, with whom they had never had any contact, actually sent gifts, which made them confused.
Especially the young princess from Prince Duan's Mansion who was usually on good terms with Zhou Qinzhu, but this time she did not express anything to the Zhou family.
As the protagonist, Gu Runci is cheerful and graceful, and her interactions with the Gu family are natural and harmonious, giving people the feeling that they are a natural family.
When the Zhou family asked Doctor Zang to come over for a consultation, everyone thought they were joking.
Later, seeing the servants' panicked expressions, and briefly inquiring about the situation over there, he realized that the old lady in the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion was really ill.
Doctor Zang had indeed drunk some alcohol at the time, but it wasn't to the point where he had difficulty walking.
Being unable to drink is just an excuse.
The situation over there ended in chaos, but the guests here had a great time.
Even the Grand Tutor praised Gu Runci's demeanor, and Prime Minister Wu Lihuan looked at Gu Runci with loving eyes.
The Wu family are all romantic people who believe in being together for life, so they scoffed at Zhou Zhili's behavior back then.
The eldest prince Lu Enyou returned to the palace early because he didn't want to make everyone uncomfortable because of his presence.
Before leaving, he deliberately glanced at Gu Ruanci, who actually gave him the feeling of being a dignified immortal.
When the Duke of Shou went to see off the big men who had come voluntarily, Gu Ruanci took the opportunity to ask Zang Jizhi, "Why are they here?"
"When they heard that Junior Uncle-Master had come down the mountain, they all wanted to come and take a look. But this wasn't arranged by me. Didn't you see that Senior-Master is still sitting here?"
Taoist Qing Tuan's expression was even more calm. He said directly: "Since Junior Sister has come down the mountain to resolve her past, she will not keep her identity secret. Just let things take their course."
As a result, before all the guests had left, someone came hurriedly to report that the three brothers of the Zhou family were heading to Xuan Di Temple.
