Lu Lingzhi swallowed the bun in her mouth and said, "The fever subsided in the second half of the night. I'm afraid it will come back again. I'll go check on it later."
He thought to himself that this was only because his father was really capable. If it were any other doctors in the county, they would have given up on treatment long ago. But the result was also good. The consultation fee alone was fifty taels, not to mention the remaining half of a two hundred year old ginseng. The ginseng was taken out by Mr. Shi and used in a tonic prescription. His father cut half of it and hid the remaining half. Ahem, otherwise his father would not have done his best. He was afraid that the hidden ginseng would be lost!
After dinner, Zhou Shuren, who was rarely at home, was not in a hurry to read. Instead, he followed a few students to the clan school, and then went to the clan leader's house.
Not long after Zhou Shuren left, Zhou Wangshi arrived. Zhulan greeted her and asked, "Aunt, are you here to learn about the situation next door?"
Mrs. Zhou Wang was full of resentment towards Wang Ru. "I heard that the doctor moved into your house. Your uncle was worried about it and asked me to come and ask about it."
Zhulan said, "Aunt, if you were a little later, you wouldn't have to make a special trip."
Zhou Wangshi was puzzled, "What do you mean by that?"
"The head of the family sent the children to the clan school and stopped by to see Uncle and chat with him. It seems that Aunt and the head of the family did not meet."
Zhou Wangshi said, "When Shuren goes, I will come over to talk to you."
Zhulan pondered for a while and understood, "What does Auntie want to talk about?"
Mrs. Zhou Wang said directly, "I won't hide anything from you. We know that Miss Wang Ru is abnormal. I don't care whether Mr. Shi's life-saving grace is true or not. I only know that Mr. Shi came here for Wang Ru. The young master of the Marquis's mansion is a man of heaven. He has been wandering around the village recently. Your uncle and I don't think there is anything worth paying attention to in Zhoujia Village. I went back and thought about it carefully the other day. I guess he came here for Wang Ru. I know that you two have a plan in mind. I don't want to ask anything else. I just want to know whether it will implicate the entire Zhou family?"
Especially when Wang Ru got into trouble, Master Shi came immediately, along with Zhang Wu and Zhang Sanni. It was obvious that they were not simple. She and the old man did not sleep the whole night, and they were only holding on to sit still now.
Zhulan was not surprised at all about Zhou Wang's guess. The Zhou clan leader was not a simple man, but also a very responsible clan leader. As a responsible person, he would think a lot and worry a lot. The clan leader was worried about the entire Zhou clan. If it involved powerful people, he was afraid that the entire Zhou family would be implicated, especially since Wang Ru appeared in Zhoujia Village. The clan leader was afraid that the whole village would suffer because of Wang Ru.
Yao Zheyu certainly didn't expect that someone in Zhoujia Village would guess his purpose. Sometimes it is the people at the bottom who are more perceptive and have more accurate intuition.
Zhulan looked at the dark green in Zhou Wang's eyes. She was frightened and said, "Shuren and I guessed the same as uncle and aunt. The head of the family also guessed. He said that Master Shi came here for Wang Ru, so he must not want any accidents. He probably will take Wang Ru away after she survives. As for why the young master of the Marquis's Mansion came, it will be Master Shi's concern in the future."
Zhou Wang was panicking and needed comfort urgently. Although she didn't know whether Zhou Shuren's family knew the purpose of the young master of the Marquis's mansion, her tense heartstrings loosened with Yang's words, and she felt much more at ease. "Don't laugh at me. I'm just a peasant woman who has never left the village. I'm timid and can't stand up to anything. Your uncle said that your family has a long way to go in the future. I won't say much, but just give you some insignificant experience. I have realized a truth in my life: if you keep your feet on the ground and take one step at a time, you will go a long way."
The old man would also say this to Zhou Shuren, but women have their own uses, especially since Zhou Shuren values Yang so much, Zhou Shuren might remember Yang's words more easily. She and the old man said this separately for peace of mind.
Zhulan understood that Zhou Wang was afraid that their family would be looked down upon by the powerful people in the Marquis' Mansion, and she wanted to be in a high position and work for the young master of the Marquis' Mansion, fearing that they would get into trouble. Her words were well-informed. It was Zhou Wang's duty not to say anything, and it was a favor for her to give her such a reminder.
Zhulan also told Zhou Wangshi the truth, "The master has no relationship with the young master of the Marquis's Mansion. From today on, the master will study at home!"
Mrs. Zhou Wang was a little worried. The young master of the Marquisate came to Zhou Shuren's house for Wang Ru. When she heard that Zhou Shuren would not go to the county to study, she said yes again and again, "Next year is the provincial examination. Study hard. What you earn with your own ability is yours."
In the past, I only thought that Zhou Shuren was very capable and knew everyone. I only saw the benefits it brought, but did not notice the dangers. Now that I think about it, it is better to be down-to-earth, at least I won’t be scared.
Zhulan knew that the clan leader and his wife were really frightened. "I saw that Auntie's eyes were dark blue. She didn't get enough rest. Doctor Lu, do you want to check her pulse and prescribe some soothing medicine?"
Zhou Wangshi waved her hands and said, "I am suffering from a heart disease. I will be fine once the neighbor is gone."
Then he muttered softly that it would be better to die.
Zhulan, “… … ..”
The clan leader and his wife really hope that Wang Ru will die to prevent future troubles. Well, it seems that everyone hopes so!
Unfortunately, Wang Ru was very lucky. Her high fever subsided and did not recur. Although she did not wake up, her condition was stable.
Thanks to Mr. Lu, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren got first-hand information.
Wang Ru survived, and Zhou Wangshi and the clan leader were very disappointed. When Zhulan went to the clan leader's house, Zhou Wangshi no longer grumbled, but said bluntly that she had been a scourge for a thousand years.
After being in a coma for two days, Wang Ru finally woke up, and Mr. Lu packed his luggage and returned to the county with his reward.
Zhulan and Zhou Shuren saw Doctor Lu off. When only Zhou Shuren was left, Zhulan said cheerfully, "When Wang Ru gets better, Shi Qing should take Wang Ru away. It's finally time for things to stop."
Zhou Shuren said regretfully, "I had already thought of how to get some benefits from the male lead, but then Wang Ru happened. After Wang Ru left, I have no chance to get some benefits from her. I was originally hoping to get enough money from the male lead to buy a farm!"
Zhulan was very satisfied, "You've received quite a lot these past few times, I'm quite content."
Zhou Shuren secretly sighed that he had missed the opportunity. Even if he met the right person again in the future, he would not have the right timing, location and people as he did now. He would never have another chance to get money from the male protagonist.
Zhou Shuren ate the mooncakes made by Li, "Chang Lian will ask for leave tomorrow to deliver the mooncakes. I hope this kid can stand the ridicule."
Zhulan's experience of eating mooncakes has impressed her that the mooncakes made by Li are indeed amazing, and the recipe is indeed valuable. However, Zhou Shuren has just been bullied, and there are no secrets in the county. Zhou Shuren will no longer go to the county, and Chang Lian has not really married Dong Chuchu. There are many variables. Chang Lian is just the son of a young scholar, and it is certain that he will be bullied. "This child is very proud, and I don't know if he can bear it, especially since he has been praised by his classmates in the clan school recently and is used to hearing good things. After all, it is inevitable that the child will be complacent. When he goes to the county tomorrow, there will be no good words."
Zhou Shuren said, "I hope he gets into some trouble outside, so he can know how difficult his father's life is outside, so he won't think it's easy. There's no harm in giving him a blow."
Zhulan said, "It's good that you know what's going on."
She gave it out of motherly love, and her heart was softening. She was really worried that Chang Lian would be hit hard. Although this kid said that it didn't work out as a gift, he must be hoping it would work out. Chang Lian's timing for giving the gift was not good, as Zhou Shuren had just returned home. She hoped that the child would not be hit too hard.
Zhou Shuren felt jealous when he saw Zhulan picking up the needle and thread to sew clothes. Zhulan treated the Zhou family's children more and more as her own children. They only made clothes for him in the past, but now they had several more naughty boys. He squinted his eyes and felt that his sons were living too leisurely!
