Chapter 21: Starting with Ye
The afternoon sun warms the spring chill and shines lazily on people.
When the new doorman saw Doctor Zang coming, he bowed and nodded to invite him in while asking someone to pass the message.
The Zhou family went out as a whole family, after all, they wanted Doctor Zang to see their filial piety.
"Doctor Zang, how is it?" Zhou Zhili asked with concern.
Zang Jizhi stroked his beard and told them that morning that there was basically no improvement and they could only keep taking care of her like this and see how long she could hold on.
The pulse in the afternoon was no different from before.
Looking at the way these people seemed to be hesitant to speak, Zang Jizhi already knew that they must want to ask something.
"My Lord, if you have anything to say, please speak directly."
He didn't beat around the bush; time was precious after all.
Seeing him being so polite, Zhou Zhili looked at the old lady cautiously and took him to another room.
Zhou Yuxiu followed, while the others stayed with the old lady.
"I'm not happy with Doctor Zang. Actually, I asked you to come here this time because I remembered something else. If I don't get an answer, I'll be uneasy."
"Your Excellency, there is no need to prepare. I will tell you everything I know."
Zhou Zhili considered his words carefully before saying, "Doctor Zang, I wonder if your junior sister, Little Medical Immortal, has contacted you since arriving in Imperial Province?"
Zang Jizhi thought about it, and it was just as he had guessed.
Now, apart from the junior sister, only the master can guarantee the old lady's health.
"Of course. After all, it was me who wrote a letter to Master that allowed her to come down the mountain."
"Doctor Zang have any solution for her sudden regret of treating my mother?"
Zhou Zhili thought that if he could start with Doctor Zang, it would be better than Ye and Gu Ruanci.
"No……"
Zang Jizhi answered directly without hesitation.
He denied it so quickly that Zhou Zhili and Zhou Yuxiu were not used to it.
"Why?" Zhou Yuxiu couldn't help himself.
"Junior Sister's personality is just like that. Once she makes a decision, even Master finds it difficult to change it, let alone us, her junior brothers who are already inferior to her. If it weren't for Master's sake, she wouldn't have come down the mountain to help. Since she has decided to give up the old lady as a patient, no one else's words will help, unless the Marquis' Mansion can solve the problem that she is dissatisfied with."
Zang Jizhi knew that they couldn't solve it.
Zhou Zhili said awkwardly, "The situation here can't be explained in a few words. After all, as you know, my mother's condition cannot be delayed. We originally wanted to let her hold on until the Little Medical Fairy arrived, but now the situation is critical. The Little Medical Fairy has some misunderstandings about our Zhou family because of our rebellious daughter. If this really leads to my mother's death, it will be a lifelong regret for us..."
Zang Jizhi was unmoved. Even though doctors have a caring heart like parents, he did not want to have descendants like the Zhou family.
"I'm afraid that Lord Marquis' words are not enough to convince Junior Sister."
Zhou Yuxiu asked, "Since the Little Medical Immortal is unwilling to help, I would like to ask Imperial Physician Zang, does she have any disciples?"
Zang Ji was stunned. What were they planning?
"Disciple? What disciple?" He pretended to be stupid.
"If there is a descendant of the Little Medical Fairy, perhaps he has already learned her skills." Zhou Yuxiu deliberately guided.
Zang Jizhi knew what he wanted to hear, so he simply told him: "My junior sister has never accepted a disciple, otherwise we disciples would have received a notice and would have known the other party's identity and background."
Zhou Yuxiu became a little anxious when he heard this.
"So, that Gu Ruanci isn't Little Medical Immortal's disciple. She has nothing to do with Little Medical Immortal. Her appearance in Dizhou at this time is purely a coincidence?"
Zang Jizhi understood that these people had this idea.
He responded, "The Princess of Chaoyang County? I can guarantee that she is definitely not Junior Sister's disciple. As for her appearance in Dizhou City at this time, she must have returned to recognize her relatives."
The first and third questions were answered, but the second one was not.
Unfortunately, the father and son opposite did not notice it, and only remembered one thing: Gu Ruanci was not the disciple of Xiao Yixian.
"Doctor Zang, I have an unwelcome request..."
Zhou Zhili said this tentatively, his expression full of anticipation.
"My Lord, you still want to know who this Junior Sister of mine is and want to talk to her directly, right?"
Zang Jizhi understood their thoughts very well, as this was not the first time they had made this request.
"Yes... I respected Xiao Yixian at the beginning and didn't want to offend her. But now, as you can see, my mother is in a very bad condition. We met Xiao Yixian to ask her to save her. I believe she won't blame you..."
"My Lord, please don't embarrass me. If Junior Sister is willing to show herself, then there's no need to beg. You should think of a way to resolve the issue that she's unhappy with."
After saying that, Zang Jizhi didn't even leave the prescription and hurried back with the medicine box.
The Zhou family gathered together again, and after confirming that Gu Ruanci was not Xiao Yixian's disciple, they all seemed relieved.
"Fortunately, it's not that rebellious girl..." Zhou Zhili said.
Zhou Yuqi also said: "I was wondering how she could be qualified to become the disciple of Little Medical Immortal."
But Zhou Yuzhi was still unhappy and worried.
"Second brother, why are you in a daze?" Zhou Yuqi asked.
"Even though Gu Ruanci isn't Little Medical Immortal's disciple, Little Medical Immortal's dissatisfaction with the Zhou family is because of Gu Ruanci. In order to ask Little Medical Immortal for help, we still need to ask Gu Ruanci for help..."
His words caused the Zhou family to fall silent again.
"What should we do then?" Zhou Yuqi was a little discouraged.
Ye Lanxin didn't say anything. Some words of weakness only needed to be said once or twice. If she said them all the time, it would make people feel resistant.
"What could a six-year-old girl know about what happened back then? Maybe she remembered some things wrong. It would be more appropriate to let Ye come forward to clarify." Zhou Zhili seemed to have come up with an idea.
"She is now in Xuandi Temple and won't see us at all."
Zhou Yuqi got angry when he thought about being turned away that day and hearing all the rumors.
Zhou Zhili's eyes flickered. "It doesn't matter. I'll go there myself this time. I have a way to make her show up."
