Carrying the little lucky star, leading the villain on the road to exile

Madam Gu's face turned pale. She hadn't even had time to think of a way to remedy the situation when her husband returned.

She felt a gust of wind and was sent flying like a kite with its string cut. Then she felt a sharp pain in her back and cried out in pain.

“I told you to host a banquet, and this is how you did it.”

I just arrived and finally managed to get things going, and now you, you stupid woman, have ruined it all.

I told you to make good friends with all the ladies, but you've offended them all.

Now that this farce has been exposed, how am I supposed to establish myself in Lingnan from now on?

He had just bought the courtyard and was thinking of bringing the young lady from the inner quarters over to stabilize the rear and make good connections with the ladies of the various inner quarters. But this fool caused such trouble as soon as she arrived.

How is he supposed to clean up this huge mess, and how is he supposed to explain it to the main branch of the family?

He had been trying to curry favor with his cronies all these years, and it wasn't easy for him to get this job. If he messed it up, he would definitely not let this woman off the hook.

"Master, I don't know how things turned out this way either?"
"It's all those damned lackeys' fault! They weren't fully prepared, which made me scramble around like crazy..."

Seeing that she was still shirking responsibility even at this point, Gu Yeshi went over and added fuel to the fire, saying, "As the head of the household, you don't even have the ability to handle things properly, yet you dare to push things onto your subordinates."

"Do you think I'm stupid, or do you simply disregard the Gu family?"

That stupid woman, doesn't she realize that the people serving them are all sent by the inner circle? Besides giving them face, they are also helping them to quickly establish a foothold here?

It's all his own fault. He thought that with several elders watching over things, the banquet in the inner quarters would be foolproof, but he never expected such a mistake to occur.

Thinking of this, he turned to the old nanny who had been standing to the side and asked gently, "Nanny Chen, did you know that the person who had the accident was Madam He? How is she now?"

"We don't know exactly which lady it is yet. She has servants around her, but we haven't found them yet."

The doctor just gave her acupuncture; she's temporarily alright, but she hasn't woken up yet.

"What did the doctor say?"

"They're still treating her inside." Granny Chen really didn't know the specifics. Luckily, there was a clinic nearby, and the doctor arrived quickly. She came out and was just about to ask the madam for some advice when she was scolded before she could even speak.

"Then you should go and see him right away, and tell the doctor that you must revive him no matter what."

Granny Chen: "Ninth Master, this old servant understands."

After speaking, Granny Chen turned and went into the inner room. Seeing that the lady's forehead and body were covered with silver needles, she frowned and stepped forward to ask, "Doctor, does this lady have some hidden illness?"

The doctor's eyes flashed; this new Gu family was no good at all, they were trying to ruin a woman's reputation.

These doctors also have their own bottom line. It's okay to be greedy for money, but you can't joke about illnesses. "You old woman, you really know how to joke. Madam Lin has always been considered to be in good health here. We've never heard of her having any chronic illnesses."

She's acting this way because she's too nervous. What exactly happened at your house? What upset her? They're just some naive, easily frightened women.

Granny Chen's expression changed as she sized up the doctor who had been suddenly brought over, her voice turning colder, "Do you know the identity of my master?"

"What does your family's status have to do with us doctors?" The doctor began to slowly remove the needles. "We practice medicine and seek to have a clear conscience. Now I understand why Madam Lin is like this. Power really is a good thing."

"You're just a lowly doctor, aren't you afraid...?"

"As you said yourself, we're just a small-time doctor, what impact can we possibly have?"

"Really? In Lingnan, there's no such thing as 'killing to silence a witness,' and besides, do you think I wouldn't know what big secret you have?"

As the doctor finished speaking and removed the last needle, Madam Lin, who had fainted, slowly opened her eyes and looked around blankly.

"Madam Lin, you're awake," the doctor said in a more friendly tone. "Is there anything else that's bothering you? Is your head still dizzy?"

Mrs. Lin looked at the somewhat familiar doctor who was winking at her, but couldn't quite place him. "Who are you?"

"I am Doctor Lan from Hejitang. It seems you've been quite traumatized; you've even forgotten about me."

Zhang County is only so big, and there are only so many doctors. Of course, Madam Lin remembered this Doctor Lan. He was very skilled in medicine and his Hejitang clinic was honest and trustworthy. Whenever someone in the household fell ill, they would go to him for help.

"I'm so sorry, I was a little confused just now. What's wrong with me?"

"Have you forgotten what happened before?"

Madam Lin suddenly started trembling, and it looked like she was about to have another attack. Doctor Lan quickly pressed several acupoints on her body and gently comforted her, "Relax... relax... you're fine now. With me here, no one will hurt you."

No matter what, we're all long-time neighbors; we can't let outsiders bully us.

Granny Chen felt like she was about to cough up blood. Where did they find this doctor today? Why does he have such a foul mouth?
She could only force a smile and say, "Madam Lin, don't be nervous. You just fainted at the banquet and had convulsions. Our banquet was disrupted, so we had to bring you to the backyard to settle you down. We've also called a doctor."

Dr. Lan looked at the old woman with a half-smile. She was truly worthy of being from a wealthy family; even at this point, she was still shifting the blame onto others.

Do you really think that just because she said that, it's a fact?
Upon entering the mansion, he encountered the ladies rushing out and overheard quite a bit of their conversations. By piecing together what he heard, he was able to get the gist of the situation.

This old woman probably hasn't experienced anything major, and she's trying to cover it up here, unaware that the whole of Zhang County probably knows about it now.

"I'm so sorry..." Thinking of the panic she had just experienced, Mrs. Lin was at a loss for words and immediately apologized.

"I'm telling you, old woman, don't go too far. The patient can't be stimulated any further, otherwise if something else happens, I won't be able to help."

With so many people around, you don't naively think this can be easily swept under the rug, do you?

The apprentice carrying the medicine box behind Doctor Lan was almost in tears. "Master, what's going on? Why are they talking so much today? Can't you see how hostile they are?"
They only recognized Madam Lin among them; everyone else was a stranger. With their mouths babbling and offending people like this, how could they possibly leave here unscathed? (End of Chapter)
