Chapter 297: Chapter 297

She rubbed her forehead, excusing herself to check the preparations for the midday feast, and took her eldest son and daughter with her.

In a place without guests, Mrs. Sang started berating her son and daughter harshly, "You two useless brats, how could you lose to Li Lixing? He’s known to be a fool! Yet you lost to him? It’s not your faces that are lost, it’s your mother’s face!"

The two children were scolded until their heads hung low, not daring to make a sound.

At this moment, Mr. Sang arrived.

Seeing his wife again scolding the children, he complained, "Why are you scolding the children again? They lost the competition, isn’t it your responsibility? How do you usually teach the children?"

Mrs. Sang, enraged, clutched her chest and turned pale.

She was about to be driven to death by anger.

Five children, each required her teaching.

They needed to be well taught, but she was not an Immortal!

"My lord, how... how can you speak about me ?" She was so angry that her vision went black, and her body collapsed to the ground.

Her face was pale, and she clenched her teeth.

Mr. Sang was terrified, and hastily tried to push her, "Mother of the children?"

"Mother, what’s wrong?"

Mrs. Sang’s two children started crying in fear.

The three of them tried to rouse Mrs. Sang, but she wouldn’t wake up.

"Dalong, quickly inform the steward to call for the doctor!" Mr. Sang called to his eldest son.

Wiping away his tears, the eldest Sang son ran off.

Mr. Sang then called to his eldest daughter, "Quickly go find the nanny and maid to carry your mother to the room."

The eldest Sang daughter also ran off to call for help.

Mrs. Sang was plump, Mr. Sang couldn’t lift her, so he let her lay on the ground, anxiously waving his sleeves and pacing in circles.

The eldest Sang son cried as he ran to the front courtyard, and upon finding the steward, tearfully reported Mrs. Sang’s fainting.

Hearing this, the steward was anxious. The family carriage had been taken by the old lady, the sedan chair borrowed by the aunt, one out of the remaining two carriages had a broken wheel, while the horse of the other had fallen ill recently.

With the weather hot outside, running to find help would be exhausting!

"I understand, young master, report back to the lord and I’ll quickly summon the doctor." The steward reassured the eldest Sang son, hurriedly going off to summon a young servant to call the doctor.

As he walked to the guest garden, the steward heard voices inside, suddenly recalling someone.

The steward slapped his thigh, why find a doctor at all?

Why not ask Miss Li, who had come to the banquet, to treat Mrs. Sang? She had cured the County Magistrate’s Wife, surely she could cure his wife’s fainting!

With this thought, the steward entered the garden.

He beckoned Li Yuzhu aside, explaining Mrs. Sang’s condition. Li Yuzhu was surprised, "Your wife fainted?"

"Just now. Our master is very worried, the eldest son and daughter are in tears. Miss Li, please come take a look." The steward said.

Li Yuzhu nodded, "Alright, I’ll go take a look."

She informed Li Xing’an and Li Lixing of Mrs. Sang’s collapse, and the two, concerned for her, decided to accompany her.

Li Lixing said to the steward, "Aunt Sang has always been kind to me. Now that she’s ill, I should certainly go to check on her."

The steward thought for a moment; their master and the County Magistrate’s Wife were old friends, and the County Magistrate’s son coming to visit his wife was a great honor.

He decided promptly, "I thank Mr. Li on behalf of my wife."

"No need for thanks yet, let’s help her first. Let’s go, surely Uncle Sang is eagerly waiting." Li Lixing waved to the steward.

"Indeed, Mr. Li is right." The steward replied.

He led Li Yuzhu and the others to Mrs. Sang’s room.

By now, the gathered maids and old servants had carried Mrs. Sang into her bedroom.

The eldest Sang son and the eldest Sang daughter stood by the bed, two ten-year-olds, frightened and uneasy.

Mr. Sang, with hands behind his back, paced anxiously in the room.

The steward brought Li Yuzhu and the others into the bedroom, "Master, the doctor is here." Follow current novels on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝕟𝕖𝕥

Mr. Sang turned around, seeing the three, and wondered, "Which of you is the doctor?"

He recognized Li Lixing, but the other two were a young man and a young girl.

Could these two treat illnesses?

"I can, Mr. Sang," Li Yuzhu said.

Mr. Sang was incredulous, "You can heal?"

Li Yuzhu nodded, "Yes, I can."

The steward said, "Master, this is Miss Li, the young miracle doctor who cured the County Magistrate’s Wife."

Li Lixing also said, "Indeed, she cured my mother."

Mr. Sang was surprised, "Oh? You are that Miss Li?"

Li Yuzhu bowed her head, "I am."

"Then I am reassured, please, please, come and check my wife. She was talking to me fine just now, then suddenly fainted, the children cried in fear, and I was terribly worried." Mr. Sang clasped his hands toward Li Yuzhu, stepping aside to let her forward.
