Chapter 77: Doctor Zang is too proactive
Seeing Lu Hanyue walking over, Nong Chun didn't say anything, just nodded.
"It seems that I came at the right time, otherwise my family would not be able to leave so gracefully this week." Lu Hanyue joked.
The Gu family felt much more relaxed, and their mood was different without the Zhou family present.
After entering, Lu Hanyue said directly, "On my way here today, I met my cousin. He insisted on taking me to Xuan Di Temple. But when we arrived, the Zhou family was forcing Taoist Qing Tuan to open the ancestral hall of Ruanci's biological mother, saying that they wanted to pay homage. I didn't see any attachment to my biological mother on the faces of the three Zhou brothers, nor did I see any guilt on the face of Marquis Jing'an, so I went up and drove them away."
Zhuang Hefeng said hurriedly, "Today is all thanks to the Second Princess."
"Not entirely. My cousin wasn't very convenient to come forward. He knew my schedule for today, so he asked me to go there first. He said that if the matter wasn't resolved, the news would get back and the soft words would be absent-minded. It would be better for me to go there directly and solve it so we can talk it over properly."
"We will naturally remember the prince's kindness, but we understand his concerns and cannot express our gratitude publicly. If the prince needs anything in the future, as long as our Gu family can do anything, just ask."
Gu Congyun knew why Lu Enyan helped Gu Ruanci, but he still had to pretend in front of Lu Hanyue.
They sat together and talked for a while, and then Lu Hanyue pulled Gu Ruanci and said she wanted to visit her yard.
"Soft words, do you think that Madam Zhang is truly recovered? I heard a few days ago that she was in a coma and probably couldn't make it. I didn't expect Zhou Yuzhi to find a way to save her. I've also heard some of the rumors in the city these days. When the competition for the position of Little Medical Immortal disciple was at its most intense, the terminally ill Madam Zhang suddenly stood up. It seems too coincidental..."
This was Lu Hanyue's second time meeting Gu Ruanci, but there was no sense of alienation when they talked.
"Maybe it really is a last gasp..." Gu Ruan said in the same relaxed tone.
"No way, the last burst of energy won't give her that much time..."
Lu Hanyue had also considered this possibility, but given Madam Zhang's condition, it was obviously not the case.
"Then we have to ask Zhou Yuzhi where he learned this skill."
Gu Ruanci knew it very well, but she just didn't want to say it out loud.
"Forget it, let's not talk about them. I finally begged my mother today and promised her that I would not keep asking you about your life outside these years. Only then did she agree to let me leave the palace."
Gu Ruanci already felt the Queen's kindness from this sentence.
The two of them arrived at Gu Ruanci's yard. Girls actually have a lot of topics to talk about, as long as they are on the same wavelength.
Zhou Zhili and his family walked past the people so openly, fearing that the news that Madam Zhang had woken up and was able to get out of bed would not spread widely enough.
When I got home after a lot of trouble, the manager was already waiting there.
"My Lord, Old Madam, you are finally back."
Seeing the steward's cautious look, Zhou Zhili felt nervous again.
Nothing went smoothly today, whether it was the Xuan Emperor Temple or the Shouguo Mansion.
"What's wrong?" He asked, pretending to be calm.
"My Lord, Imperial Physician Zang sent someone to visit today, saying that his junior fellow apprentice in Longjiang City has a very difficult patient, one he specializes in. He asked him to come and see him. He has already asked the Emperor for leave and will be leaving in the next two days."
Zhou Zhili listened for a long time but couldn't find the source of the manager's nervousness.
He asked seriously, "What's there to be anxious about? You've been waiting here just for this?"
The steward shook his head. "No, Imperial Physician Zang heard that the old lady had suddenly recovered and thought it was miraculous. He wanted to come and take her pulse, but it just so happened that the Marquis and the old lady were not at home. Imperial Physician Zang meant that if the old lady was really well, he could go to Longjiang City without worry..."
Zhou Zhili looked at Zhou Yuzhi and found that he was starting to get nervous.
Madam Zhang didn't quite understand what was going on. She asked, "What's the big deal? I'm fine now. Tell Doctor Zang not to worry about me... Just do what needs to be done."
At this time, Madam Zhang was somewhat suspicious of Doctor Zang. After all, Doctor Zang had not been able to cure her for such a long time. Instead, her grandson only learned a skill from the Little Medical Fairy and was able to get her out of the hospital bed.
Doctor Zang must be jealous of his grandson's talent and wants to come here to find suspicious points. I can't give him this opportunity.
"Mother is right. Since Imperial Doctor Zang has something to do, he should just go and do it..."
Zhou Zhili felt relieved when he heard his mother's words.
What he was worried about was that if Imperial Physician Zang came to take his mother's pulse and discovered that the reason his mother was so energetic was because Yu Zhi had given her something she shouldn't have, there would be no way to hide this secret until Yu Zhi became Little Medical Immortal's apprentice.
"Okay, I'll send someone to reply right away."
The person in charge got the OK and felt completely relaxed.
"Father, this Imperial Doctor Zang has never been so proactive before. Isn't that a bit abnormal?"
Zhou Yuxiu also felt something was wrong, and asked after sending Madam Zhang back to the yard.
"You felt it too?" Zhou Zhili looked serious.
"Yes, when my grandmother was seriously ill, he wasn't very enthusiastic when we asked him to come over. He kept emphasizing that even if his junior sister was willing to help, it would probably be difficult to save her. Now he actually came to ask about it. Is he trying to take her pulse or check her condition?"
Zhou Yuxiu's words made Zhou Yuzhi feel nervous.
"No matter what it is, my grandmother's condition is still unstable. Let's wait until he comes back..." Zhou Yuzhi said simply.
Zhou Yuqi then asked, "Is it possible that Imperial Doctor Zang is here to test Second Brother's medical skills on behalf of the Little Medical Immortal? If Grandmother is truly healed, Second Brother can become the Little Medical Immortal's disciple?"
After hearing this, everyone felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.
If that was the case, it would have been unwise for them to reject Doctor Zang just now.
"But after Grandma walked around the city like this today, everyone already knows that she's recovered. Little Medical Fairy must also know, so there's no need to verify anything. I believe that Second Brother will definitely become Little Medical Fairy's first disciple and become the glory of our Zhou family!"
Zhou Qinzhu was still as warm-hearted as ever and gave Zhou Yuzhi the greatest recognition.
"Well, I will definitely... I want to let Gu Ruanci know what an outstanding brother she has lost..."
Zhou Qinzhu's eyes dimmed for a moment, but she didn't say anything in the end.
Zhou Zhili was also unhappy because of Zhou Yuzhi's words.
"That's right. She clings to the powerful and wealthy, and then acknowledges him as her father. Does she think that I, her biological father, am dead? When the Gu family is no longer able to protect her, I want to see her kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy."
