Chapter 151 Preparing for the Afterlife

Liu Xiangju nodded vigorously, "Yes, the girl is just tired, so she fell asleep for a long time. It must be that the doctor just now was not good at medicine and failed to diagnose it. I heard that Doctor Luo of Renchun Hall is good at medicine. You should invite him over quickly."

"Okay, I'll go and invite Doctor Luo. The health-preserving medicine that the girl bought is still available. You can try to make another one for her."

Xia Zhi drove the carriage out of the house again and went straight to Renchun Hall Clinic.

Liu Xiangju made the medicine, but Ling Chu still didn't swallow much.

Fortunately, Xia Zhi invited Doctor Luo over soon.

After a thorough inspection, Doctor Luo had no choice but to withdraw his hand.

Facing the eager eyes of the two maids, although he couldn't bear it, Doctor Luo could only sigh, "Your girl's pulse is getting weaker and weaker. She is already on her deathbed. I am ashamed of my poor medical skills."

Doctor Luo sighed, put away the medicine box, and turned away.

Xia Zhi and Liu Xiangju were pale and their bodies were shaking.

Looking at Ling Chu, who was so weak that she looked like she could be blown away by a gust of wind, Xia Zhi murmured, "I don't believe it. The girl has been fine all the time. She just slept for a little longer. How could she be hopeless?"

The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became. Xia Zhi forced himself to cheer up, "I don't believe the girl is hopeless. I'll go get another doctor."

Seeing that Xia Zhi did not accept his fate, Liu Xiangju also cheered up, "Yes, go get another doctor back quickly. If one doctor doesn't work, get more."

"Okay. I'll definitely get more this time."

Xia Zhi grabbed the silver and ran out of the house again.

This time, Xia Zhi invited five doctors back.

Since the second wife was manipulated by Ling Chu, she couldn't speak. After seeing several doctors who were helpless, she just wanted to stay in her own yard. When she heard that Ling Chu was in trouble, she only felt happy.

The Third Lady heard that Xia Zhi had invited several doctors to the mansion for Ling Chu, and planned to go and see what she was doing.

Out of courtesy, Aunt Wen, the second concubine Liu, and the third concubine Wu also went with her to visit.

Unexpectedly, she ran into Dong at the gate of Ling Chu's yard.

"Hey, sister-in-law, are you here to see Chu Jie'er too? I heard that Xia Zhi invited many doctors to the mansion. The young lady is really something. Mother only asked a question that day, but she was worried that her reputation would be damaged.

Even if she is not satisfied, it has been so many days, why is she still angry? This doctor has been invited one after another, how long do you want to toss and turn?"

"Sister-in-law, let me say that the young lady is not still in Xuanqing Temple now. Even if she does not follow the rules, no one will say anything. Since you are back in Kyoto, you still have to follow the rules and etiquette, otherwise you, as a mother, will also be criticized."

Dong glanced at the third wife and said in a light voice, "You are thoughtful to come to see Chu Jie'er."

Seeing that Dong did not respond, she walked into the yard.

The third wife curled her lips in disdain behind her, and then followed slowly inside.

Auntie Wen and the other two concubines behind her did not say a word. After Mrs. Dong and the third wife entered the yard, the three followed in.

Ling Chu's bedroom.

Five doctors were taking the pulse in turn, while Xia Zhi and Liu Xiangju were waiting nervously.

Although there were five doctors treating the patient, it didn't take much time.

After taking the pulse, the doctors gathered together to discuss for a while, and all shook their heads.

Xia Zhi and Liu Xiangju's hearts sank little by little with the doctors' movements.

After the third wife came in, she saw that the first wife was just standing aside with a frown and didn't say anything, so she walked quickly to Ling Chu's bedside and said sarcastically, "Miss, the lady just taught you a lesson, and you have been making trouble for a few days, and you let the maids toss and turn to invite so many doctors. Are you still not satisfied?

Do you want to make everyone in the world know how willful you are before you stop?"

Originally, the doctors were discussing the condition of the patient. Seeing the ladies in the mansion coming in one after another, they thought they were here to care about the condition of the girl.

Hearing what the Third Lady said, they all stopped discussing and looked at her in surprise.

The Third Lady saw Ling Chu lying on the bed and ignored her words, and she was angry.

Xia Zhi and Liu Xiangju were worried about Ling Chu's condition. When they heard what the Third Lady said, they couldn't help but get angry, "Third Lady, our girl is too sick to get up, how can you still say she is fooling around!"

The Third Lady didn't expect that even the maid would dare to contradict her in front of outsiders. She frowned and scolded, "Your girl is fooling around, but you don't say anything to stop her, but you accompany her fooling around. I will punish you after I report to the Madam."

The words of the Third Lady made several doctors frown.

Finally, an old doctor couldn't stand it anymore, "Madam, the maid didn't lie. Your daughter is really seriously ill."

The third lady was surprised, "How could it be? Our eldest daughter was just tired and fell asleep. How could she be seriously ill?

Could it be that you doctors were bribed by these two maids and want to deceive us?"

The old doctor was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and threw his sleeves, "The old lady is not the kind of person who would do such a thing. This girl is already exhausted, and you actually thought she was just fooling around."

The old doctor was so angry that he didn't want to pay attention to the third lady. Seeing the two maids were sad, he could only shake his head and sigh, "I'm sorry that I can't do anything. Goodbye."

Seeing him leaving, the other doctors also shook their heads and left, "We are not well-trained, so let's prepare for the funeral as soon as possible."

Seeing several doctors leave in anger, the third wife was shocked and turned her head to look at Ling Chu carefully. Only then did she realize that her face was frighteningly pale. It really looked like she was dying.

Mrs. Dong was also shocked by the doctor's words. She stared at the bed in disbelief at first. When she saw that Ling Chu looked like she was about to die, a complex emotion surged in her heart.

In just a blink of an eye, she couldn't help but feel happy again.

But soon she realized that something was wrong and pinched her palm with her fingernails to suppress the joy.

She put on a sad face and cried sadly, "My sister Chu..."

At the moment when everyone turned their heads to look at her, Mrs. Dong shook her body, closed her eyes, and fainted.

Mrs. Dong didn't expect Ling Chu to be so seriously ill. She felt unlucky and wanted to leave this place.

Seeing that the eldest lady had fainted, she hurriedly said to Aunt Wen and the others, "Why are you standing there? Hurry up and help the eldest lady back."

"The eldest lady fainted from grief. Let's send her back first, so as not to affect the eldest lady's condition if she stays here. Xia Zhi, you and Liu Xiangju take good care of her. I will inform the old lady of the eldest lady's condition and let her think of a solution."

Knowing that Ling Chu was really in critical condition, the third lady stopped being sarcastic in order to restore her image just now. She comforted the two maids in a good tone, and then hurriedly left with Aunt Wen and the others to help Dong...
