Chapter 17 Pictorial
Fortunately, the clinic was not far away. Zisu jumped off the carriage and said to the shopkeeper, "Please have your doctors who are good at internal medicine and surgery consult together. We need the best doctors. Here is the deposit. Please do me a favor!"
As he spoke, he placed two ingots of silver, each worth ten taels, on the counter.
The shopkeeper quickly pushed the money back, saying, "Please keep it, sir. As doctors, we will do our best!"
Shen Laihui was severely injured. After examining him, the doctor wiped his sweat and said, "Thank goodness! If you had arrived even a quarter of an hour later, even a miracle worker couldn't have saved him! This man was not only seriously injured, but also poisoned with a very potent poison. If you had arrived any later, and the poison had entered his heart, I wouldn't have been able to help him! Luckily, I happened to have the antidote on hand; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to save him either!"
Zisu pleaded, "Doctor, please use the best medicine. Money is no object; you must save his life. He's only in his early twenties, so young. Please don't let him suffer any lasting effects! I beg you, Doctor, to do everything in your power to save him, and please use the best medicine!"
In his dazed state, Shen Laihui heard a childish voice speak these words, and he was filled with immense gratitude. He secretly vowed that if he survived, he would repay this little girl named Zisu with the greatest gratitude imaginable!
Behind the clinic was a large three-courtyard house with temporary wards for patients whose conditions were too serious to move. Shen Laihui's injuries were severe, so he needed to stay at the clinic for observation. Zisu instructed Li Mao, "Stay at the clinic for the next couple of days and help take care of this man. If anything happens, come to the Yuelai Inn to find us."
Li Mao, an honest and simple young man, respectfully replied, "Yes, Miss, I will definitely take good care of this brother!"
Zisu, accompanied by her mother and several servants, arrived at the Yuelai Inn and booked a small courtyard in the back. The courtyard had three main rooms, two side rooms on each side, and a small kitchen in the right side room, which suited Zisu's taste perfectly.
Madam Yu's expression was not good, and she said reproachfully, "What? You want the guard and Uncle Li to live here? How can that be? No, absolutely not!"
Zisu was extremely annoyed, but out of consideration for her mother's pregnancy, she patiently advised, "Mother, we are no longer the ladies and young ladies of the Marquis's mansion; we have been driven out of the house! When you're out in the world, there aren't so many rules. Besides, you are pregnant now, and we have so much money on us. Moreover, we don't know if Uncle Li's family will still try to harm us. If Uncle Li and the two guards don't stay here, I won't be able to sleep peacefully at night!"
Hearing her say that, Madam Yu reluctantly nodded in agreement.
Just then, the innkeeper came to report: "Madam, Miss, someone is looking for you. They say it's Miss's uncle!"
Uncle is here? Zisu felt a surge of joy and quickly said, "Please come in quickly!" With that, she hurriedly went out to greet him.
Sure enough, the visitor was none other than Yu Zhe, the uncle Zisu had been longing for. Before Zisu's rebirth, her uncle had visited her and her mother at the Marquis's residence several times, but unfortunately, she was instigated and obstructed by her wet nurse and aunt, and never managed to meet him.
