Chapter 76 I am the distinguished guest
Everyone in the Gu family wanted to laugh. Zhou Yuzhi was still daydreaming.
"Are you worthy?" Gu Ruanci asked directly.
Zhou Yuzhi was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether she meant that he was not worthy of being Xiao Yixian's disciple, or that he was not worthy of treating the Gu family.
"Nowadays, the most promising person in Dizhou City is my second brother. How can he not be worthy? County Princess, no matter how noble your status is now, you are just like us in the face of illness and pain. After my second brother becomes the disciple of the Little Medical Fairy, he will also master superb medical skills. Who can guarantee that the Gu family will not get sick in the future and my second brother will not need to take action?" Zhou Qinzhu began to establish her image as an intimate sister again.
Gu Ruanci had no intention of competing with her for the Zhou family from the beginning. She didn't know why Zhou Qinzhu was always worried about this. Or was she showing off to her that she owned all these scum in the Zhou family?
"Let him heal his family first. Besides, there's nothing special about the Little Medical Immortal. Who says that becoming a disciple of the Little Medical Immortal will definitely make you a master of medicine? If everyone in the Zhou family can become a disciple of the Little Medical Immortal, then her vision is too poor. How can an immortal accept a beast as his disciple..."
Gu Ruanci didn't have the patience to keep talking to them. After all, Madam Zhang would die in a few days.
Now her medical skills only require observation, without smelling, asking or palpating, to tell that Madam Zhang doesn't have much time left.
"Gu Ruanci, you are simply talking nonsense!" Zhou Zhili finally couldn't help it.
He felt very uncomfortable following his mother here and apologizing.
Hearing Gu Ruanci say these words just now hurt his self-esteem even more.
"Zhou Zhili, I told you the first day I returned to Dizhou that as long as I leave, I won't turn back, even if you bring your entire family to kneel before me. Now, take your hypocritical mother, your accomplice wife, and your bunch of useless children and go back to your own homes. Don't pollute the grounds of our Shouguo Mansion. We have guests to welcome soon."
"Distinguished guest? I'd like to know who would be so clueless as to visit you at a time like this."
Zhou Yuqi has been enduring for a long time. Gu Ruanci now doesn't look like the little girl who cried and wanted to be hugged by him.
"It seems that Mr. Zhou San is not very satisfied with my itinerary."
Finally, Lu Hanyue arrived.
The Zhou family turned around and saw Lu Hanyue's face, they were stunned.
"Second... Second Princess..."
Old Madam Zhang would rather she was dreaming.
Zhou Zhili didn't expect that the Gu family was dressed so formally, it turned out that they were really waiting for a distinguished guest.
"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Second Princess..."
Gu Congyun had already taken the lead in paying respects and no longer paid any attention to the Zhou family.
"Please stand up quickly, Duke. Didn't I tell you that there's no need for these empty formalities between us? If the Emperor finds out, he'll accuse me of being arrogant."
Lu Hanyue walked over quickly and held Gu Congyun's arm.
"It is an honor for the Gu family that the Second Princess is visiting the Duke's Mansion today. It's a pity that some outsiders came to cause trouble. Please forgive me, Second Princess..." Gu Congyun said directly.
"This isn't your fault," Lu Hanyue turned and looked at Zhou Zhili. "Lord Zhou, I've already encountered you once at the Xuan Emperor Temple. Back then, you were harassing Taoist Qing Tuan and trying to disturb the spirit of Chaoyang County Princess's biological mother. Now you're here again. I'm beginning to suspect you've placed a traitor near me. Otherwise, why do you always arrive before me wherever I go?"
Zhou Zhili was also sensitive. Why did he meet her again?
Since she had made an appointment to visit the Duke's Mansion, why did she go to the Xuan Emperor Temple on purpose?
"In reply to the Second Princess, Grandmother brought us to the Xuan Emperor Temple to burn incense and offer a sincere apology to Aunt. After Taoist Master Qing Tuan's guidance, Grandmother realized that she should first express her apology to the living, so she came here. It was not to monitor Your Highness. I hope Your Highness will understand."
Zhou Yuxiu is the prince, so naturally he has to stand up at this time.
"From the look of it, you don't seem to be here to apologize, but rather to collect a debt... Shouldn't Young Master Zhou Er be persuading the old lady to rest at home? After all, she's just starting to recover from her illness, so she shouldn't be tossing around like this. If anything unexpected happens, I'm afraid the spot for the Little Medical Immortal's disciple won't belong to the Second Young Master anymore."
Lu Hanyue got straight to the point, which made Zhou Yuzhi feel uneasy.
"Thank you, Second Princess, for your reminder. I will take the Zhou family back now..."
Old Madam Zhang knew that if Lu Hanyue didn't come, they might not even have the stairs to walk on.
Lu Hanyue seemed to remember something and asked Zhou Yuzhi again, "Mr. Zhou Er, if you could become the Little Medical Fairy's disciple, would you be willing to help persuade her to treat my cousin, Prince Duan?"
Zhou Yuzhi was not mentally prepared, so this question still confused him.
Ye Lanxin and Zhou Qinzhu were both startled, they understood what the second princess was testing.
Zhou Qinzhu was usually close to Lu Wenxue, the daughter of Prince Duan's concubine. This concubine also gave birth to another son for Prince Duan. As long as Lu Enyan died, the position of crown prince would definitely be his.
If Zhou Yuzhi was willing to help, and if Lu Enyan survived, it would be equivalent to cutting off Lu Wenxue's path to becoming the crown prince.
For such a long time, the reason why Ye Lanxin let Zhou Qinzhu stay with Lu Wenxue, even though it had affected her reputation, was because she thought that in the future, after Lu Wenxue's brother replaced the dying Lu Enyan, their status would rise accordingly.
Unexpectedly, the second princess put such a sharp issue directly on the table.
Zhou Yuzhi did not answer immediately. He knew that the Second Princess would not mention Prince Duan for no reason.
When he saw the nervous expressions of Ye Lanxin and Zhou Qinzhu, he immediately remembered the relationship between Zhou Qinzhu and Lu Wenxue.
"Of course I am willing...but I am not sure whether Master agrees..."
In just a moment, he had already uttered the word "Master" fluently.
He thought that he had to agree to this matter no matter what, but there was no need to take it seriously. Anyway, whether Xiao Yixian took action in the future would have little to do with whether he persuaded her or not.
When the onlookers heard him call Xiao Yixiang "Master", they thought he might be a little conceited.
"Xiao Yixian never said she would accept him, why did he change his mind?" someone questioned.
"Didn't you see that Madam Zhang, who even Imperial Physician Zang couldn't do anything about, has already stood up. And now she's still so energetic and brought her family out. Regardless of what they did, the medical skills of the Second Young Master of the Zhou family are indeed superior to those of all those who have wanted to become his disciples so far."
Lu Hanyue was too lazy to waste time talking to them and said, "I understand what the Second Young Master meant. I wish him success."
Then, he watched them leave.
Watching the Zhou family slowly walk away, Gu Ruanci whispered to Nong Chun beside him, "Did he know what I told Senior Brother?"
