NOVEL WEB Chapter 58 - Please Take the Time to Prepare
What was this? Mrs. Xue was holding her breath as she ordered someone to go to the hospital and secretly ask for a doctor to lock up all the concubines in the courtyard.
She still had a glimmer of hope. Perhaps it was the one who had gotten sick after making all those random connections. Her son might still be fine.
At this moment, she wanted to kowtow a few times to Buddha so that he would protect Zuo Shaoling.
The hope was good, but the reality was cruel. When the doctor shook her head and sighed as she told her the answer, Mrs. Xue couldn't help but blunder.
“Madam... Madam...” The group of maidservants hurriedly rushed forward to fish him up.
Old Doctor pinched the middle of Mrs. Xue a few times and saw her slowly awaken. However, her eyes were a little dazed as her hands firmly grabbed onto Old Doctor's hand. “Doctor, what did you say just now?”
The doctor got rid of her hand and stroked his long beard, “Lady, it's better for you to be at ease. Second Master's disease is definitely that kind of disease, and it shouldn't be for long. It's just that he didn't discover it himself.”
“Then… Is there still any cure?” Mrs. Xue asked with a pale face. The moment she said that, Zuo Shaoling, who was also dumbfounded, suddenly rushed over and grabbed Old Doctor's collar and yelled, “Old fool, you're lying!”
“Cough, cough...” The doctor was not tall, his entire body was lifted up, his collar was tied around his neck, and he almost died. After everyone split up, he quickly took his medicine box and left, leaving behind a sentence, “Mistress, prepare well for the future!”
Mrs. Xue was so agitated that she fainted again.
When she woke up again, the surroundings were already surrounded by people. Zuo Yunwen and Zuo Shaoyan were both there. Originally, Zuo Shuhui also came, but due to this disease, it was not suitable for girls to listen to, so he was chased away by Zuo Shaoyan.
“Master...” Mrs. Xue shouted in grief as she threw herself at Zuo Yunwen and started to cry out loud.
Zuo Yunwen pushed them away and frowned, “You got used to it! He couldn't bear to fight, and couldn't bear to curse. All he had to do was let him go out and play around, how about now? To be reduced to such a ghastly state, I can't even keep my life anymore!”
Mrs. Xue no longer had her usual sharp tongue and tyrannical attitude. She only looked at Zuo Yunwen pleadingly, “Master, you have to think of something ah. Shao Ling is still young, she doesn't even have a son. I can't just...”
“What can I do? I heard that the doctor was scared off by that evil creature just now. I might as well beat him to death!” As he spoke, he raised the chair beside him and was about to call on Zuo Shaoling.
At this moment, Zuo Shaoling was sitting on the floor in a daze. He had already vented his anger before Zuo Yunwen had arrived. He smashed a room full of things and injured a few servant girls until he was completely exhausted.
The chair was stopped by Zuo Shaoyan halfway, and he said calmly: “Father, the most important thing now is to find a doctor to treat Second Brother.”
Zuo Shaoling also recovered his wits, crawled over and hugged Zuo Yunwen's leg crying as he complained, “Dad, you have to save your son!… Your son doesn't want to die yet...”
“Are you afraid now? What's everyone doing?” Zuo Yunwen kicked him away, “All you know is how to mess around!”
If this had happened to Zuo Shaoyan, Zuo Yunwen would have immediately fainted. However, since it happened to this evil creature, it didn't surprise him at all.
“Father... Your son won't dare anymore, so you have to save me...” Zuo Shaoling cried through his mucus. The fear in his heart tortured his nerves, making him feel despair for the first time.
“Master...” Mrs. Xue came over and hugged her son while looking at Zuo Yunwen. After such a thing happened, a woman like her would have already broken down long ago.
Zuo Yunwen sighed and patted Zuo Shaoling's head. He was really disappointed with this son of his, “I will get people to look for a famous doctor. You must cooperate well with the treatment.”
Even though he said that, Zuo Yunwen didn't have much hope. He just hoped that he could extend his second son's life as long as possible.
Zuo Shaoling nodded with all his might and was extremely honest.
On the rooftop, Zuo Shaoqing was lying on his stomach as he watched this farce. He didn't know what to feel. Was he happy? He didn't seem very happy, but there was joy, especially when he saw how helpless they were, and he wanted to laugh out loud.
Once upon a time, he had been helpless to the point of despair, he asked himself again and again: What is the purpose of my life? What was the point of living?
If it wasn't for the hatred that supported him, he would have long since ended his own life in that quiet courtyard. freewebno vel.co m
Zuo Shaoling's matter had obscured the entire Zuo's Mansion. Originally, because the two young masters were rushing to the capital to take the exam, the celebration was completely washed away. No one dared to reveal the slightest bit of a smile.
Especially when she was facing Mrs. Xue, any slight smile would be able to excite her sensitive mother. In the past few days, Mrs. Xue's temper had been unstable and she had punished quite a few people, causing every single one of the servants in Zuo's Mansion to tremble in fear.
At the same time, the women in Zuo Shaoling's courtyard were also trembling in fear. Zuo Yunwen had brought all the doctors from Youuxi Town over, and they were always guarding outside the door, begging when the doctors came out to show them.
However, many doctors were unwilling to treat this kind of illness. In the end, only a young doctor showed them his kind heart, and the result was that some people were happy while others were sad.
Mrs. Xue was a little angry with these women because of her son, so she sold a few of them. The three sickly places were then thrown into a room and locked up.
Although she knew logically that most of it was her son who first caught it, she still couldn't help but feel resentment towards them in her heart!
They had cried and caused trouble. Although Zuo Shaoling's matter was serious, it did not hinder the two young masters from going out.
Zuo Yunwen specifically flipped through the calendar and chose the most suitable day to go out, then personally sent his two sons out. If not for Zuo Shaoling, he would have set off firecrackers in front of the door to tell everyone: Zuo Family is about to rise!
Zuo Shaoqing brought a lot of things with him this time. He knew that he wouldn't be back in the capital for a short period of time, so he brought everything he could with him when Nanny Liu packed her luggage.
Even so, compared to Lord Zuo who had packed three carriages, this was just a small matter. Not to mention the maidservants and the errand boy attendant.
Zuo Yunwen handed a few letters to Zuo Shaoyan in front of everyone, and warned: “The Zuo Family is still connected in the capital, if you have any difficulties, you can also bring a few letters to me for help. Remember, do not act carelessly while you are outside!”
“Yes.” The two brothers agreed.
Mrs. Xue also came forward. In just a few days, this charming woman had aged ten years. Her hair was still white at the temples and her eyes were no longer as fierce as before. It was just an additional tinge of ruthlessness that sent chills down one's spine.
She whispered a few words to Zuo Shaoyan, then walked into the Zuo's Mansion with the support of two servant girls, and anxiously looked at Zuo Shaoling.
Zuo Shaoqing took one last look at the Zuo's Mansion's door. This house had given him joy before, and that was when his mother was still alive. However, after so many years, this place was merely a resting place for him.
Zuo Shaoqing turned around and helped Liu Tie up the carriage. From the arrangement of the carriage, he could see the hope Zuo Yunwen had for their trip.
Last time he went to the Changping County selection, he took a carriage which was the most ordinary and inferior carriage in the house. This time, the carriage was placed comfortably and warm, covered with a thick woolen blanket, and there was even a tea cake that was prepared.
Luo Xiaoliu bid farewell to his family through the window. Amongst the three of them, he was the only son of Zuo's Mansion, and there were even his parents and brothers here.
It was because such a person was too easy to control.
Even last night, Luo Xiaoliu was called over by Mrs. Xue to say a few words to Third Master Zuo. Third Master Zuo must be kept in mind along the way.
At that time, Luo Xiaoliu heroically agreed, his righteous attitude was just like going to war to die, and he traded his brother's Zuo's Mansion for a position of a manager.
However, the moment he turned around, he sold Mrs. Xue completely. For this, Zuo Shaoqing even rewarded him with a small sum of money. It could be said that she was reaping the harvest from both sides and earned a double share of the money.
As the carriage slowly drove on, the Zuo's Mansion became further and further away. Luo Xiaoliu waved his hands in dissatisfaction and then put down the curtain. He then asked in frustration: “Master, will we still come back?”
Zuo Shaoqing looked at him confusingly, “You just left the house and you're already thinking about coming back? If you don't want to leave, then stay.”
Luo Xiaoliu hurriedly put away the worry on his face and spoke with a straight back, “You are the master of this servant. Of course, where is the master? Where is the servant?” As for his family, he would just have to wait until he was rich and then take them away.
Luo Xiaoliu didn't know where he got his confidence from, but he felt that his future would be bright with San Ye's help.
Zuo Shaoqing ignored him and made him cover himself with a thick blanket. Then, he lied down on top of the blanket and started reading.
The long convoy passed through the main road of Youuxi Town, and under the curious and envious gazes of the citizens, slowly drove out of the town.
