“Doctor Lu, how was my sister’s illness?”
“Severe blood loss, and low blood pressure”[1]
“The rest of it, there’s nothing major.”
Doctor Lu stroked his beard and started packing up his things, his action seems to not want to stay any longer.
At the table, Doctor Lu started to write prescriptions, his mouth non-stop going on and on about a matter, “Zhu HongSan, I think you also knew that Miss WuXin’s body and bone condition has always been terrible.”
“And now adding one more heavy external injury. Currently, it’s the time for recuperation. This old man have treated her all these years, also knew that she was not given any importance in the House. But however it is, she is still a patient.”
“How can anyone of you bear to starved her of food? In the end, she is still a child ah. The people of Zhu House, will only be satisfied once she’s forced to death, is it?”
“Doctor Lu, it’s not like that. Our young master is not……”
Xiao Lian heard that Doctor Lu has misunderstood the young master and tried to justify for him, but was stopped by HongSan.
Instead, he politely and courteously replied, “HongSan will remember.”
“If it wasn’t that WuXin’s mother entrusted her to me before she died, I will never step into Zhu House.”
“Zhu HongSan, I will remind you once again. If Miss WuXin continued to get bullied like this, don’t blame me when I take her away.”
Doctor Lu thrown the prescription on the table before flapping his sleeves and left.[2]
Xiao Lian don’t understand why the Capital have a lot of doctors, HongSan must choose this Doctor Lu with weird temperament.
She was a maidservant bought by HongSan last month, only has been in Zhu House for a while. There’s a lot of matter that she don’t know.
Also, wouldn’t it be great if Fourth Miss is taken away by the doctor? Then she won’t be bullied anymore, why won’t HongSan agree with it?
“Young Master, who is this Doctor Lu actually ah?”
Xiao Lian took the prescription, barely opened her mouth when she saw HongSan strode over towards Zhu WuXin.
He pulled the quilt towards her and also brushed aside the stray hairs from her forehead.
“Xiao Lian, go prepare the medicine.”
HongSan gave the order in a flat voice.
Xiao Lian felt a sudden chill in her heart, immediately retreated.
When she closed the door, she took a quick look at HongSan.
She can’t help but feel that when he looked at Zhu WuXin, his eyes were filled with a deep sadness.
[1] : 血氣 – Blood qi , I would interpret it as blood pressure. If you think there’s a better term for it, you can tell me.
[2] : 揚長而去 – Idiom, meaning to turn and leave abruptly
Thanks for the chapter! Aww he’s such a good brother. <3 And it makes me happy that there are still people who cares for WuXin even if they're not blood-related.
Ikr, and a handsome one to boot
Eh, then if he cares for her, why is doesn’t he punish and change her servants?
I like the doctor tho
I think he don’t know which servant, just know that the whole mansion don’t like her.
If like that, how can he protect her and punish the whole House?
If he doesn’t know which servant because all servants left her, than just assign new servants to her house and punish them if someone slights her. That will also set an example so servants don’t dare do that from now on
I guessed there’s some reason why he didn’t do that :0
Go with the doctor already.
Thanks so much for all your hard work!!!!
Ikr, I’m also curious why not go with the doctor. Couldn’t be the previous WuXin is so cowardly that leaving the House is scary?
