The Daily Life of a Down-on-Hard-Life Medicine Girl Supporting Her Family

Chapter 375

"Master, what help do you need? I'm just a concubine in this desolate place..."

At this point, his eyes were filled with grievance and resentment.

"Once it's done, I'll let you go back to your residence."

"If I return to the manor, what will happen to the young master?"

"I'll find someone to take care of him. Anyway, before he's an adult and has enough ability, we can't let Madam know."

With his wife's abilities, killing a child would be easier than crushing an ant.

He knew perfectly well that despite taking one concubine after another over the years, he had not had a single child. It wasn't that he was incapable; it was that his wife was too capable!
It's truly an exceptional case that Zhong managed to give birth right under her nose.

This child can see the future from a young age; that shows he's truly intelligent.

With such a smart birth mother, it's only natural that the child will be successful; he won't abandon this child.

"My lord, I've been terrified that Madam will find out. I've had several nightmares about the young master being..."

Zhong Xiuyao couldn't continue.

This is not a lie; she is genuinely in a state of fear.

She even felt that the best way was to stay away from the Lin and Zhong families, take her son to a distant place, and live an ordinary life in anonymity.

"No, no, I'm here."

Lord Lin was actually a little panicked. That woman was very capable, especially since his brother-in-law ran a gambling den and had connections in the underworld. If she found out, his youngest son would really be in danger.

"My lord, I have a request that I may not ask. I hope you will not be angry."

"What did you say?"

"My lord, I beg you to grant me a letter of divorce. I will take my son and leave for a distant land. I will return to the family after I have raised him to be a pillar of the court. My lord, please, for the sake of my son, who is your precious darling, save him..."

Zhong Xiuyao knew very well that Qingsheng held a place in his heart.

"You wish to leave this office?"

This made Old Man Lin very unhappy: "Do you have a lover?"

"My lord, I swear, if I have a lover, may I die a horrible death!"

"Then how will you live without me?"

"Therefore, I still need to ask you, sir, to secretly look after us. Without you, neither I nor my son can survive."

Let's say it like this for now: coax him, let him know that he can't live without him, that he has a string in his hand, and that he can pull him back no matter how far away he is, so that he can rest assured.

Once he finally flies out of the capital, everything will be beyond his control.

"you……"

It is said that Zhong Xiuyao's intelligence made Lord Lin both love and hate her.

Love was the reason she could think of this way to protect her son, who was also her youngest child, her precious darling. Whether the Lin family could continue its glory depended on this youngest son. The two older ones were useless.

What's infuriating is that this woman is too clever; she knows what will move him.

Looking at her shameless attitude, Lord Lin felt even more disgusted.

“Let’s make a deal. If you help me with this, I’ll let you and the child go.”

"master……"

Zhong Xiuyao was overjoyed. It was a success!

However, on the surface, he looked worried.

"My lord, I don't know how I can help you, and I'm afraid I won't do a good job."

"Are you on good terms with the fifth young lady of the Zhong family?"

"It's acceptable, after all, they are sisters from the same household."

"I remember when you gave birth, it was Miss Fifth who arranged for Miss Lei to deliver your baby?"

How can this be considered acceptable? If they didn't have a good relationship, would Zhong Xiuxiu care about a concubine like her? They must have a very good personal relationship.

"My lord, I was indeed on good terms with Fifth Sister when we were still in the manor. But my status is different now, and Fifth Sister is such a busy person. My face is already in such a state, so I'm even less willing to go near her..."

Ultimately, it's because I have low self-esteem, am ugly, and have a low social status.

That's exactly what Zhong Xiuyao was trying to say: anyway, it's not easy for you to ask me to do this.

"Master, is there something you need from Fifth Sister?"

It's not that she doesn't want to help; she can help when she can.

"Find your fifth sister and arrange to meet Xiao Chunnuan at Chunshan Women's Medical College."

"Mr. Xiao? Sir, would you like Mr. Xiao to examine Madam? You are so kind to Madam..."

Their faces were blatantly filled with envy and jealousy.

"Yes, it's for the lady's medical examination."

How can I let everyone know that I'm incapable? I need to find Xiao Chunnuan first, and then have a private talk with her, then no one will know.

"It's a pity. Ms. Xiao never treats patients. Apart from a few noble ladies in the palace, she devoted herself to teaching her disciples after returning to the capital and there is no record of her making house calls."

"That's why I came to you."

"This concubine may not be able to do it." Zhong Xiuyao remembered something: "Master, why don't you tell this concubine what symptoms Madam has, and then this concubine will ask Fifth Sister? Maybe Fifth Sister can solve the problem?"

"I remember when my eldest sister couldn't get pregnant, it was my fifth sister who helped me."

The details of Mr. Xiao's medical consultation are omitted here, since Mr. Xiao wouldn't care about such matters of truth or falsehood anyway.

"Your fifth sister has such abilities?"

"Mr. Xiao once praised Fifth Sister, saying that she was diligent, studious, and talented, and was the best student at Chunshan Women's Medical College. Now Fifth Sister is the head of the college, and Mr. Xiao is focused on developing the pills."

"What pills?"

"I'm not sure, but it seems that as long as you meet the symptoms, taking this will be effective."

In fact, Xiao Chunnuan was digesting her food in the mansion at this time, with a large pregnant belly.

This pregnancy was really uneventful for her; she ate and slept well, and her belly grew quite large. It wasn't until four months into the pregnancy that she realized she was carrying twins.

This terrified Zhao Minghua. He immediately forbade her from leaving the mansion and searched everywhere for a midwife and a doctor, even considering finding the imperial physician... In short, his concern was overwhelming and chaotic, making Chunnuan laugh in exasperation!
She is clearly a doctor herself, and she has trained hundreds of female doctors at Chunshan Medical College. They are very experienced in childbirth, so why does Zhao Minghua treat her like a major enemy?

It wasn't just her saying that Zhong Xiuxiu and Lei Ying could deliver her baby.

They're making such a fuss over nothing, it's unbearable to watch.

He didn't take his disciples seriously at all.

Besides, what imperial physician could be more capable than her?
At the manor on the outskirts of Beijing, Lord Lin found Zhong Xiuyao again.

"You invite your fifth sister to help me with my diagnosis. If she can cure my illness, I will let you and your son go."

"master……"

"hurry up."

Lord Lin was filled with frustration at not being able to be a man.

This matter should be addressed sooner rather than later.

Zhong Xiuxiu indeed arrived at the manor and took Lord Lin's pulse.

"Sir, this is not an illness, but an illness."

It's embarrassing to talk about this illness.
