Chapter 73 The Old Lady Actually Stands Up
A few days later, news spread on the street that the old lady of the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion had gradually recovered her health under the care of her genius grandson Zhou Yuzhi.
When someone expressed doubt, someone immediately came forward to prove it, saying that they had seen with their own eyes that Madam Zhang went to the Xuan Emperor Temple to burn incense.
"Are the people in Jing'an Marquis Mansion crazy to let a person who is still recovering from a serious illness go to such a far place to burn incense?" Naturally, some people did not understand this behavior.
"I heard it was the old lady's own request. She felt sorry for Ye Hesheng, who was let down by her son. She heard that the Princess of Chaoyang County had placed her biological mother there, so she had to go over and take a look."
"Why is she so energetic all of a sudden? I heard she was in a coma a few days ago and it took a lot of effort to stabilize her?"
People who are in the know can always find doubts and ask questions boldly.
"Anyway, the Zhou family's version is that after the Second Young Master learned the Nine Needles to Restore Yang, he combined it with his own years of experience and personally prepared some medicine for Old Madam Zhang. He didn't expect it to have such miraculous effects."
The person asking the question looked around with an expression as if he was trying to steal something.
He leaned over to the ear of the person who had just replied and whispered, "Could it be a last gasp of life? If he died before Ye Hesheng's spirit tablet, the Chaoyang County Princess would definitely not be moved, but would only feel unlucky..."
"Don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing. How can a last moment of life last so long? There must be nothing wrong. This person who has walked through the gates of hell must be regretting what he did and wants to make amends. That's why he has such a strong obsession to go to Xuan Di Temple to pay homage to Ye Hesheng."
These words spread quickly among the people and naturally reached the Gu family.
"Is this old lady really getting better?"
The people sent by Gu Congyun came back and said that they saw Madam Zhang indeed show up, and she looked very energetic.
In just a few days, he went from a seriously ill patient who could easily fall into a coma to an elder who could go out and climb mountains. This transformation is really huge.
"She can't get better. My senior brother's medical skills are correct." Gu Ruanci was very calm.
"Did they use some special method?" Gu Yuting asked with his quick mind.
Gu Ruanci said, "Of course, but this method must come at a great cost. In order to make a patient like this better in the short term, I'm afraid they must have used something shameful."
After she finished speaking, the Gu family felt much more relieved.
"She actually has the nerve to disturb He Sheng. Does she really think that she can be forgiven just because she is old and dying?" Zhuang Hefeng felt unconvinced no matter how he thought about it.
Gu Ruanci was quite calm about this. She said, "The old woman doesn't have much time left. No matter what method the Zhou family uses to help her stand up, they won't give her much time. We should take this opportunity to show our repentance for the past and let the Little Medical Fairy see their sincerity. This will give the Zhou family a greater chance."
"The Zhou family can only come up with these messy methods, but if that old guy can't maintain this state for a long time, won't he die soon?" Gu Congyun asked.
"That's right. If I'm not mistaken, the news outside these days has made the Zhou family anxious. The bone-renewing ointment developed by my nephew is already very effective. I deliberately spread the rumor that I wanted to take him as a disciple, and I said it to the Zhou family. In order to surpass my nephew, the only way Zhou Yuzhi can surpass him is to bring Madam Zhang back to life. However, he has no idea how long this life will last."
After listening to Gu Ruanci's analysis, everyone completely understood the Zhou family's shamelessness.
"So they want to use this incident to make Xiao Yixian accept Zhou Yuzhi without realizing it, and then bind him to the Zhou family. In the future, Madam Zhang's affairs will definitely be exposed. For the sake of her own reputation, Xiao Yixian will definitely find a way to save Madam Zhang..."
After Gu Yuting summarized it, his expression changed.
He even admired the Zhou family a little. They were shameless but still could think of logic.
But they certainly didn't expect that Xiao Yixiang was Gu Ruanci, whom they had always looked down upon.
All these plans were under Gu Ruanci's control from beginning to end.
"I haven't taken action against the Zhou family yet. Anyone can prove that if Madam Zhang is dead, it has nothing to do with me."
No one refuted Gu Ruanci's words.
"Sister, should we go to the Xuan Emperor's Palace to see what happens? What if they start crying and making a fuss there, and Madam Zhang dies there? Wouldn't that bring bad luck to Aunt Ye as well?"
Gu Yuxuan actually wanted to go to the scene to see what kind of show the Zhou family was going to perform.
"No need. Taoist Qing Tuan will never let them near the spirit tablets of my mother and grandmother. Besides, I've already asked someone to go there."
After Gu Ruanci finished speaking, the Gu family members were a little stunned.
"Little sister, when did you hire help?" Gu Yuting asked.
"I knew they would find a way to go to Xuandi Temple and pretend again, so I told Prince Duan in advance. If he gets the news, please help me run the trip."
Everyone already knew that she was helping Lu Enyan cure his illness, so they understood immediately.
Lu Enyan will definitely be happy to help with this.
The Zhou family had no way to deal with Lu Enyan.
Sure enough, at the Xuan Emperor Temple, Taoist Qing Tuan was there trying to stop the crying Madam Zhang.
Old Madam Zhang's face was still very pale, but she was finally able to walk, followed by the entire Zhou family.
She knelt there with a sincere expression, asking Taoist Qing Tuan to let her go in to pay her respects to Ye Hesheng. She was so old and had just recovered from a serious illness. Perhaps this was her last time to climb the mountain. A dying person speaks well. She had a lot of things to say to Ye Hesheng.
"Old Madam, Master Gu has instructed that no one should disturb Master Ye, especially those from your Zhou family. Furthermore, it's not just Master Ye who is being worshipped here, but also her mother, the original wife of Marquis Yunyang and Master Gu's grandmother. If you are sincere, just confess at home. They will be able to sense your intentions. There's no need to trouble yourself and go all the way up the mountain."
Taoist Qing Tuan's words did not dissuade Zhang Qiongru from retreating.
"I know that Ruanci must hate me as her grandmother, but so many years have passed. We can't always live in the past. I believe that if He Sheng were still alive, she wouldn't want her to be blinded by hatred at such a young age. She was a child back then, and her three brothers were also children. They lost their biological mother when they were young, so aren't they more innocent? That woman was able to abandon her own children, and three of them... But our Zhou family has no right to comment on these things. After all, it was my son who made the mistake first."
"In the final analysis, Zhili's intention back then was to help He Sheng's sister. His motives were good, but his methods were wrong. He Sheng's attitude not only hurt the relationship between the two families, but also led to the situation in which the Zhou family and Ruanci have been at odds with each other for many years. Taoist priest, my own life is in danger now. Do you really want to see these children live with hatred forever?"
