Chapter 159: Even Cats Bully Me

Not far from the flower bed, two women walked slowly.

The one in front was in her twenties, with willow eyebrows and a Qiong nose, graceful posture, and dressed quite decently.

It's just that she looked listless, with a bored look.

The maid behind her suddenly let out an "eh," pointing at the people in the pavilion and saying, "Mistress, look, it seems to be the young master!"

Lu Mistress raised her head to look when she heard the sound.

It really is.

Su Wanjun is quite big-hearted this time, arranging a nanny to follow, not afraid that she will kill her son?

"Whose family is that little girl next to her?" Lu Mistress asked suspiciously.

The maid walked forward a few steps, squinted and looked, and shook her head: "Don't know."

It happened that a servant was going up to add tea, so she pulled him to ask, and soon returned to report: "It is said to be Constable Jiang's sister, here to seek medical treatment in the mansion."

Constable Jiang? The Jiang family that saved Li Nan Si?

Lu Mistress instantly lost her good impression. "Really unlucky, met dirty things as soon as I went out!"

After saying that, she turned and walked toward the side courtyard where she lived.

The maid followed closely. "Seems to say that Du Shi also came."

"I guessed she would come." Lu Mistress sneered. "That Du Shi, since saving Li Nan Si, has run to our mansion several times, right? Trying so hard to get close, isn't it just to climb up to our Li family?"

She plucked a flower and played with it, tearing off the petals one by one. "What medical treatment, I think it's marriage proposal. Sending the sister-in-law over, isn't it trying to climb up to our family's legitimate son?"

The maid echoed: "Mistress is right, I think so too."

Just as she was talking, suddenly a *meow* sound, a big black cat sat on the wall, screaming miserably at them.

Lu Mistress's face turned pale instantly.

"Where did the wild cat come from?" The maid hurriedly went to drive it away with a stick. "Roll far away, if I see you again, I will definitely beat you to death

The black cat soon jumped over the wall and escaped.

Concubine Lu steadied herself, crumbled the flower, and threw it to the ground, saying bitterly, "The Master doesn't come to see me, the Madam guards against me like a thief, and now even a cat bullies me!"

The maids dared not gossip about the Master and the Madam.

But as for the cat...

"Concubine, calm your anger. Tomorrow I will go tell the estate steward to place bait mixed with rat poison on the wall and poison it to death!"

Concubine Lu let out a long, stifled breath. "Good, let's do that."

She never wanted to see another cat again.

Nor did she want to see that little brat Li Nan Si.

If it hadn't been for that cat Su Wanjun kept back then, how would she have been so frightened that she suffered a miscarriage? If that child had grown up, they would be nearly ten years old by now, right?

Thinking of the child who never had the chance to be born, Concubine Lu's eyes turned red.

The hatred in her heart burned fiercely.

At this moment, Li Nan Si had already returned to the main hall with Jiang Wan.

After Wen Shiyuan carefully checked Jiang Wan's pulse, he said, "It is a congenital heart condition, but it has been well-managed; the pulse is steady, and for now, there is no major problem."

Seeing him hesitate, it was clear he had more to say.

Du Ruo rolled her eyes, smiled, and pulled Jiang Wan toward the door. "Wan'er, where did you go for a walk just now? Why don't you take me to see as well?"

Jiang Wan stopped in her tracks, her eyes as clear and firm as a young deer's. "Sister-in-law, let me listen. I can handle it."

Sigh, children really become harder to fool as they grow older.

Du Ruo had no choice but to look at her husband.

Jiang Li nodded at her. "Since Wan'er wants to hear, then let her listen."

Only then did Wen Shiyuan continue: "Although the young girl's condition is stable, it is extremely difficult to cure completely. With my medical skills, I cannot do it."

Jiang Wan's complexion dimmed instantly.

"However, do not lose heart. I once saw the Divine Doctor Jun cure two patients with congenital heart conditions. If Divine Doctor Jun is willing to act, there is still great hope."

Jiang Li asked hurriedly, "How can one meet Divine Doctor Jun?"

Wen Shiyuan stroked his white beard that reached his chest. "As for that, it depends on fate and fortune."

To see Divine Doctor Jun, there were only two ways.

The location of Medicine God Valley was extremely hidden; outsiders did not know where the mechanisms were and could not enter.

Unless one stumbled in by accident, just like he had.

After he accidentally broke in back then, Divine Doctor Jun said he was a person of destiny, so he gave him some guidance.

Most of the time, it was Divine Doctor Jun's eldest disciple, Mo Qing, who taught him, so he respected Mo Qing as his teacher and Gu Yunzhou as his junior martial aunt.

Besides those with destiny, the only other way was to be brought back personally by one of Divine Doctor Jun's seven great disciples.

Which meant, people who were trusted.

"How about this: if I happen to meet one of my martial uncles in the future, I will put in a good word for you and see if they agree," Wen Shiyuan said, acting very righteously.

Jiang Li bowed to him. "Many thanks, Divine Doctor Wen. I am deeply grateful."

Wen Shiyuan did not write a prescription, only gave a few medical instructions; in any case, they just needed to continue the same regimen they had been using.

After the consultation, Du Ruo's family found it inappropriate to continue intruding, so they offered their farewells.

Su Wanjun had the servants see them out of the estate.

Watching the small figure, she turned and asked Wen Shiyuan, "Uncle Wen, don't you think Wan'er looks very much like the second sister of our Su family's main branch?"

Wen Shiyuan did not think so.

More than twenty years ago, he had seen that second young lady a few times, but so much time had passed that he no longer had any impression of her.

But even if she did look like her, what of it?

"Didn't that Lady Du say it? Things can be the same, and people can look alike; it's not strange."

Speaking of looking alike, was there anyone who looked more like the junior martial aunt than Lady Du? Yet they had not a single copper coin's worth of relation.

Walking out of the Li estate's main gate, Jiang Li helped the two most important women in his life onto the carriage and drove toward the city gate.

Inside the carriage, Du Ruo said solemnly, "Wan'er, do you trust me?"

Jiang Wan nodded. "I trust whatever Sister-in-law says."

"Good, then I tell you, even if we cannot find Divine Doctor Jun, I still have a way to cure you. Do you believe me?"

"I know, Sister-in-law has told me before."

Du Ruo was puzzled. "Then just now..."

Jiang Wan tilted her little head and smiled. "If I hadn't acted a bit sad just now, wouldn't Divine Doctor Wen and Madam Li have found it very strange?"

Du Ruo suddenly understood.

She couldn't help but flick the little girl's nose. "You little clever ghost!"

Once Wen Shiyuan and Su Wanjun found it strange, they might become suspicious, and if they dug deep, it wouldn't be good.

Her own secrets must not be leaked.

As the sisters-in-law were whispering, the carriage suddenly stopped, and Jiang Li's indifferent voice came through the cloth curtain.

"Lord Du, please make way."

In this Wutou Xian, the only one who could be called Lord Du was Du Ren Mei.

Du Ruo immediately lifted the cloth curtain to look.

Sure enough, it was that scum, and he was followed by a large group of people.

Besides the Jiang woman, there were four old women carrying a stretcher.

The person on the stretcher was covered tightly by a quilt; if not for the fact that it was still moving, Du Ruo would have thought there was a dead person inside.

Heh, enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road.
