Chapter 190 Which pot should not be opened?
After the servant left, he turned back to Gu Simo and said, "You don't need to go. I'll go with my older brother."
Gu Simo smiled and nodded, "Then you should go and come back soon."
……
Wei House.
Speaking of Wei Guangzheng's illness, it's really hard to talk about.
At first, Wei Guangzheng didn't pay much attention when he noticed something was wrong, and continued to indulge in his love life. But gradually, he not only became haggard and listless, but his body also developed redness, swelling, and ulceration, which forced him to see a doctor.
Upon examination, the doctor told him that he had a rare visceral disease that was not only incurable but also contagious to his family and loved ones.
Already weakened, he was devastated by the news and fainted on the spot.
When Lady Ge heard the news, she was utterly shocked and furious. She summoned all the servants in the mansion and first beat the four beauties. She spared their lives because she thought they were dirty, and then sold them off.
She originally intended to harm Yu Niang, since these women were brought into the mansion by Yu Niang. However, Yu Niang was pregnant, and the old woman beside her was strong and fierce, almost breaking the hand of a servant. She risked her life to protect Yu Niang.
Fearing that the matter would escalate and become a scandal, Madam Ge had no choice but to let Yu Niang off the hook for the time being. However, she did not let Yu Niang off easy. Not only did she cut off all the expenses of Yu Niang's courtyard, but she also had people keep a close watch on her, forbidding Yu Niang from leaving the courtyard.
Upon receiving a message from Yuchi Ling, Lu Changqing rushed to the Wei residence immediately.
After examining Wei Guangzheng's condition, he sighed several times and then said tactfully to Madam Ge, "Madam, Lord Wei is not in immediate danger, but he needs long-term recuperation. I can prescribe a treatment. As long as Lord Wei cultivates a pure and frugal mind from now on, his condition will improve."
Madam Ge asked urgently, "Lord Lu, can it be cured completely?"
Lu Changqing sighed and shook his head.
Thinking of something, Madam Ge asked again, "Lord Lu, I've heard that the medical skills of the disciples of Huaxiang Pavilion are unfathomable and they can cure anything. If we ask a disciple of Huaxiang Pavilion to help, can my master recover completely?"
Lu Changqing seemed to see through her thoughts and asked in return, "Is Madam Wei referring to Hua Xin, the divine physician who serves Prince Cheng?"
"Yes, yes, it's her!" Madam Ge nodded. "Lord Lu, do you think that if we can get her to help, my master's illness can be cured?"
"I can't guarantee that, after all, not just anyone can invite people from Huaxiang Pavilion." After saying that, Lu Changqing asked her, "Madam Wei, do you still need me to prescribe medicine for Lord Wei?"
“Of course it is necessary!” Madam Ge said, taking out a bag of silver from her sleeve and stuffing it into Lu Changqing’s hand. “Lord Lu, this is a small token of my appreciation. I hope you can keep my master’s secret, after all, this kind of illness… alas!”
“Madam Wei, you mustn’t. I came here at the request of His Highness Prince Cheng. If you want to thank someone, thank His Highness Prince Cheng.” Lu Changqing returned the silver pouch to her and comforted her, “Don’t worry, I will keep Wei’s illness a secret.”
"Then thank you very much, Lord Lu!" Madam Ge bowed gratefully.
Just then, a maid came to report, "Madam, the eldest and second young masters of the Ye family heard that Master is ill and have come to visit him."
Upon hearing this, Madam Ge's face suddenly turned cold.
These two brothers rarely visited her home before, and after the Wei and Ye families broke off their engagement, they never set foot in the Wei family home again. Their sudden appearance now clearly shows that they came to see the Wei family make a fool of themselves!
Just as she was about to have the maid send the two brothers away, she suddenly remembered what Ye Gengxin had said.
The Emperor has already bestowed a marriage upon the second son of the Ye family and the divine physician Hua…
She was just struggling to find Doctor Hua, and now that the Second Elder was coming this night, wasn't this the perfect opportunity?
"Quickly, please have them rest in the hall. I'll be there shortly!"
……
Hearing that Ye Shiting and Ye Shijun had arrived, Wei Yonghuai was also very surprised and rushed over to see them.
"Oh, I didn't expect Young Master Wei to personally come out to entertain us two brothers, this is truly a rare treat!" Ye Shijun greeted him with a grin.
"It is an honor for the eldest and second young masters to grace my humble abode with their presence, and I would not dare to be negligent," Wei Yonghuai replied humbly.
"By the way, I heard that Young Master Wei used to follow the deposed crown prince. Now that the deposed crown prince has been thrown into a death row, the emperor is purging his supporters. I wonder if Young Master Wei has been implicated? Who do you plan to follow in the future?" Ye Shijun asked with a smile.
Wei Yonghuai's expression involuntarily stiffened.
It’s really hard to pick up any pot!
I've never seen anyone with a foul mouth like the second son of the Ye family!
“Shi Jun, this is Young Master Wei’s private matter, you must not be rude.” Ye Shiting glared at his brother.
"Oh, brother, it's alright. Young Master Wei and I practically grew up together, practically inseparable. Now that he's lost his backer, it's only right that I care about him." After saying that, Ye Shijun winked at Wei Yonghuai, "Young Master Wei, don't you think so?"
Wei Yonghuai did not respond, as if he had not heard anything.
Everyone else thought Ye Shijun, the second son of the Ye family, was a spoiled and unruly young man, but he knew that this was just a facade.
He could not forget that long dream, in which Ye Shijun was filled with a murderous aura, like a bloodthirsty demon...
He died by Ye Shijun's sword!
The reason he didn't believe it was a dream was because his heart ached whenever he thought about his fate.
That was truly a heart-wrenching pain!
"Huai'er, why did you come out?" When Madam Ge entered the hall, she saw that her son's face looked bad. She knew without asking that he must have been bullied by the Ye brothers. She quickly gave her son a look and said, "I'm worried about your father because no one is watching him. Go and check on him quickly."
"Hmm." Wei Yonghuai nodded, then left without saying goodbye, his face long.
As soon as her son left, Madam Ge said with great enthusiasm, "Shi Ting, Shi Jun, I didn't expect you to come. Look how busy your aunt is, she didn't prepare anything!"
