Chapter 20 She is the disciple of Xiao Yixian
"Gu Ruanci, how can you talk like that? No matter who your parents are now or what their status is, this is your grandfather, your elder!"
Ye Chi's face was gloomy, and the smile on his face just now was completely gone.
"Master Ye, are you so desperate for a niece? That unlucky person who came of age yesterday, are you going to draw a line now?"
Gu Ruanci didn't give him any face and her tone was very calm.
As elders, they naturally do not have the qualifications.
Ye Keguan endured it and asked again, "We'll talk about our problems later. How could you place your mother in Xuandi Temple? Why didn't you let her go home? No matter how many conflicts and misunderstandings we had in the past, now that your grandmother is critically ill, only your mother can come forward to clarify things and make the Little Medical Immortal change her mind and save her life. Shouldn't you all have at least some kindness?"
When Gu Ruanci heard this, she laughed.
"If you hadn't refused to go home and insisted on going to the Shouguo Mansion to be their daughter, your grandmother wouldn't be so angry. In fact, you are also responsible."
Ye Keguan's next words shattered his three perspectives even more.
Gu Ruanci didn't want to waste time talking to them.
"Well, then go to the government and sue me. The Little Medical Fairy's refusal to treat your mother-in-law is all due to us, mother and daughter. You must emphasize that Marquis Jing'an has done nothing wrong, and this is not retribution for the old lady of the Marquis Jing'an Mansion."
After saying that, she glanced at Ye Chengyun.
"Young Master Ye, my brother has come to clean the front gate of your Yunyang Marquis Mansion as promised. You can show off to your brothers now. Thanks to your unlucky cousin, you finally managed to defeat my brother. Ask your cousin what other sacrifices she can make for you to continue winning."
"Sister, I'm done sweeping."
Gu Yuxuan spoke appropriately. It was really satisfying to hear his sister arguing with these people just now.
"Then I'll take my leave."
Gu Ruanci had no attachment to this place, which was as dirty as the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion.
"Soft words, please don't leave..." Ye Keguan still wanted to keep him.
Ye Chengyun finally couldn't help himself and shouted, "Gu Ruanci, don't think that just because you changed your name and came back and attached yourself to the Shouguo Mansion, you can defeat my cousin. Your mother lost to my aunt, and you will be no better off too."
Gu Yuxuan wanted to curse, but was held back by Gu Ruanci.
She slowly turned her head and said, "Well, we'll wait and see."
On the way back in the carriage, Gu Yuxuan asked, "Sister, why didn't you let me curse back just now?"
"We have achieved our purpose for coming here today. Continuing to argue with him will not solve the problem. Instead, it will bring shame to the entire Shouguo Mansion."
Gu Ruanci explained gently that her younger brother was still a little naive and reckless, and she had to discipline him.
"Are you just going to let go of Ye Chengyun?"
Gu Ruanci said: "He has a beautiful idea."
Then she added softly, "There's a long way to go."
Soon, the news that the Gu siblings accepted the bet and cleaned in front of the Yunyang Marquis's mansion and contradicted the old marquis in public spread out.
Just a few days after Gu Ruanci returned, the streets were almost full of rumors about her.
When the news reached the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion, Zhou Zhili slammed the table so loudly that it shook the earth.
"Evil creature! What on earth is she going to do?!"
Zhou Yuxiu, who had made such harsh remarks yesterday, was becoming increasingly irritated.
My grandmother hasn't woken up yet. Even though we asked Doctor Zang to see her early in the morning, he just shook his head and said it depends on God's will.
"She came back to collect a debt..."
Zhou Yuxiu said coldly, without any emotion.
"My younger sister is still waiting by Grandma's side, saying she must wait until Grandma wakes up. We're both sisters, but Gu Ruanci is simply a devil."
Zhou Yuqi also said something, but Zhou Yuzhi, who had always been very confident in his medical talent, remained silent.
"Yuzhi, what are you thinking about?"
Ye Lanxin noticed his abnormality and asked.
Zhou Yuzhi is sorting out some clues since Gu Ruanci came back, and feels that he is about to get the truth.
"Could it be that Gu Ruanci is the Little Medical Fairy—"
"Impossible, Little Medical Fairy is the junior sister of Imperial Physician Zang, how old is she?" Zhou Yuxiu immediately denied.
Zhou Yuzhi glanced at him and finished what he had just said: "Brother, I want to say that Gu Ruanci might be the disciple of the Little Medical Immortal."
Zhou Zhili was a little dumbfounded: "Yuzhi, why do you think so?"
"The timing of her return is too coincidental. She returned just as Little Medical Immortal agreed to come to Dizhou to treat Grandmother... Furthermore, Imperial Physician Zang actually attended the family recognition banquet at the Shouguo Mansion. Even Taoist Master Qing Tuan went. I don't believe they were all doing this for the Duke and Duchess's sake... Most importantly, she knew Little Medical Immortal would send a generous gift for my younger sister's coming-of-age ceremony, yet she still coordinated with the Duke and Duchess to schedule the family recognition banquet on the same day. This means she knew from the beginning that Little Medical Immortal wouldn't come."
After Zhou Yuzhi finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
Even Zhou Yuxiu, who had just made a solemn promise, fell into deep thought.
Zhou Zhili's face became even uglier. He looked at his three sons, wanting to hear their opinions.
Finally, Ye Lanxin spoke up: "If that's the case, then Qin Zhu and I will go to the Shouguo Mansion and kneel down before her and beg her for help. No matter what happened in the past, it was all our fault. I can also go to the Xuandi Temple and kneel down before my sister. I don't need her to forgive me. As long as they can persuade the Little Medical Fairy to treat my mother-in-law..."
Zhou Yuqi said, "Why are you begging? Grandmother is ill, and they clearly could have persuaded the Little Medical Fairy, but they're unwilling to help. Aren't they afraid of being ridiculed by the world?"
"If they knew shame, they wouldn't have left the Zhou family in the first place, and they wouldn't do such a thing now."
Zhou Zhili felt deep down that he was not wrong.
"Second brother, you are just suspicious now, there is no way to confirm that she is the disciple of the Little Medical Fairy. What if we really go to ask her for help and it turns out that she is not, wouldn't we lose face and waste time?"
Zhou Yuqi said again that it was really impossible for him to ask Gu Ruanci for help.
Zhou Yuzhi did not answer, he still needed to think.
"Let's go and ask Imperial Doctor Zang again in the afternoon, and then try to find out indirectly whether his junior sister has any disciples, right?" Zhou Yuqi saw that he didn't say anything, and was afraid that he would insist on asking Gu Ruanci for help.
"That's right. We need to confirm this matter first before we can decide how to treat Gu Ruanci."
Zhou Yuxiu nodded. Although his third brother was naughty on weekdays, he could also play a role at critical moments.
When news came from the Ye family, Zhou Zhili snorted coldly, "She's completely cutting off her own escape route. My father-in-law has been trying to find them for years..."
Ye Lanxin also said sadly: "Father must be very uncomfortable right now. It's all my fault..."
"Mother, don't blame yourself. It was they who were rude. Now they have accused my younger sister of an ominous person. Their hearts are damnable."
Zhou Yuzhi said this with a dissatisfied expression.
Zhou Yuxiu closed his eyes and said, "They even dared to deny my grandfather, how could I possibly acknowledge them!"
