Immediately, the maids and servants on the side all knelt down timidly.
"Hurry up!" Ji Wushang roared at the doctors and maids, "How many times do I have to tell you! I don't care whether Aunt Nangong is here or not!"
Aunt Nangong was terrified just listening to this. Looking at Ji Wushang's eyes, it was as if he wanted to devour her! At this moment, Ji Yinxue stepped forward and weakly reprimanded the crowd, "Hurry up! The young lady is speaking!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Wushang gave Ji Yinxue a cold look. Ji Yinxue immediately seemed to have suffered some injustice and shrank back to the side.
The maids and servants, along with the doctors, quickly moved Madam Bei to the North Garden. Ji Wushang watched and immediately followed.
Aunt Nangong turned her head and looked at Ji Yinxue with a fierce expression. She glared at Ji Yinxue and said, "Did I tell you to speak? Huh?" As if about to slap Ji Yinxue across the face, Ji Yinxue immediately knelt down and cried, "Aunt!"
The maids and servants around here hadn't all left yet. They had originally planned to enjoy the moon in this courtyard, but they never expected this to happen.
Aunt Nangong's hand froze in mid-air. "Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that you were born from my ten months of pregnancy, I would have made you... Hmph!" With that, Aunt Nangong flicked her sleeves and walked out of there, returning to her own South Garden.
Ji Yinxue was still kneeling there, sobbing softly. Aunt Nangong, still harboring resentment, stopped and turned around, saying, "If you like kneeling, then keep kneeling!"
Ji Yinxue's face turned deathly pale, and she looked at Aunt Nangong with bitter tears in her eyes. Aunt Nangong left without looking back.
Ji Wushang devoted himself to taking care of Madam Bei. The doctor said it was a relapse of her old illness, and it was probably beyond saving! Ji Wushang listened and tears streamed down her face. Was this fate still beyond her control? Was her own life not in her own hands?
How ridiculous! Ji Wushang looked out the window. Outside the window was a beautiful night scene, and the bright full moon was still hanging in the sky.
But on such a beautiful day, I never expected that something like this would happen.
Ji Wushang turned around and looked at Madam Bei, who was lying on the bed with a pale face.
Is there even the slightest chance?
Ji Wushang knew he had to make the most of this precious time.
At that moment, Xian'er was brought in by Madam Bei's head maid, Doukou. As soon as Xian'er saw Ji Wushang and saw that she had been crying, she immediately burst into tears and said, "Miss, don't be sad. You still have us!"
"Yes, Miss, you still have us!" Doukou also felt sad at this moment. If Madam Bei really was leaving, then the maids and servants who originally served Madam Bei would probably be sent home, or the future mistress of the house would be matched with a servant, or they would be randomly distributed among the young ladies and gentlemen in the courtyard.
Ji Wushang looked at them, wiped away his tears with his sleeve, and said seriously, "Who said I'm sad or heartbroken? I'm not. Mother is definitely fine, why are you all worrying so much!"
Xian'er and Doukou looked at Ji Wushang and wiped away their tears. Xian'er said, "Yes, why are we worrying about this for nothing! It's ridiculous!"
Doukou remained silent and did not speak.
"I'm going out tonight, who's coming with me?" Ji Wushang asked them earnestly.
"Miss, what did you say?" Xian'er couldn't believe it. "It's nighttime, and it's already very late."
“Mother’s illness cannot be delayed for even a moment. It’s almost dawn, but I know that if Mother’s illness cannot be treated in time, then, then…” Ji Wushang couldn’t continue and covered his face with his hands.
Xian'er and Doukou looked at her and immediately stepped forward, "Miss."
"Which of you will come with me?" Ji Wushang asked the two maids. "I'll go alone. You two stay here to take care of Mother."
"No, Miss, you have to believe me, even if you go now, you might not be able to find a good doctor!" Xian'er looked at Ji Wushang, tears welling up in her eyes. "Going out now would be so bad for your reputation! Miss, your reputation is important! Besides, it's true, you might not even be able to find a good doctor!"
"Can you really bear to watch my mother die?" Ji Wushang's tone turned cold, his eyes staring blankly at the two of them. He remained silent for a long time, but then burst into laughter. "How ridiculous I am! How ridiculous! I thought, I thought..."
"Mother!" Ji Tiankui suddenly lifted the curtain at some point and called out to Madam Bei, who was lying on the bed covered with a quilt.
Ji Wushang's words caught in his throat. Looking at his tall elder brother standing there, a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart. "Brother, brother, I beg you, I beg you to hurry out of the manor and find someone to treat Mother!" Ji Wushang practically lunged forward, kneeling at Ji Tiankui's feet, his hand gripping Ji Tiankui's. "Brother, only you can save Mother!"
"Big sister, get up, get up and talk to me properly." Ji Tiankui was shocked. This was the first time his big sister had begged him like this!
"As the eldest brother, how could I not want Mother to get better soon? Quick, little sister, get up and talk to her." Ji Tiankui saw that her face was covered in tears and immediately pulled her up. "Quick, why are you crying so much? It's all messed up your little face." His words were full of affection.
Seeing Ji Wushang and his sister like this, Xian'er and Doukou quietly wiped away their tears and retreated.
This older brother had never joked with him like this before; he always spoke sternly. He never expected him to say such a thing today, which calmed Ji Wushang down a little.
Ji Wushang wiped away her tears and looked at Ji Tiankui. "Brother, the doctor just said that I'm afraid, I'm afraid Mother's illness is incurable... But, but..." Ji Wushang's tears welled up again. Ji Tiankui thought of taking out a handkerchief to give her, but Ji Wushang refused. "But I don't want to, I don't want to..." Ji Wushang shook her head. "Please, brother, go to the Nine Moon Pavilion to find the Ghost Doctor. The Ghost Doctor is there. Or you could find that Doctor Cui! Mother's illness was originally going to get better, but, I never expected, I never expected that such a thing would happen tonight. Mother's heart palpitations were already bad, but I never expected it to become like this!"
Ji Tiankui frowned as he listened. Going out in the middle of the night wasn't difficult, but most restaurants would be closed by then. He might not be able to run into the Ghost Doctor at the September Pavilion!
"Big brother, please, hurry up! Otherwise, Mother, really, really..." Ji Wushang stopped speaking, looking at Ji Tiankui expectantly, hoping he would agree.
Ji Tiankui looked at Madam Bei lying on the bed. Just moments before, he had been in the front courtyard and was unaware of what had happened. He had only heard that Concubine Bai was pregnant with his father's child! But somehow, Madam Bei had pushed him! And Madam Bei, shocked by the news of Concubine Bai's pregnancy, fainted!
As the eldest son, I naturally had to keep an eye on what was happening in the mansion, so I took some time to come here and visit my mother.
Unexpectedly, it was Madam Bei who was on the verge of death?
Ji Tiankui couldn't accept it for a moment, but Ji Wushang's words were clear. After thinking for a moment, Ji Tiankui said, "I will do my best, little sister, you should... be mentally prepared." After saying that, he turned and left.
Ji Wushang listened as if his backbone had been ripped out. What kind of day is this? Heh!
Are you mentally prepared?
don't want!
I don't want to prepare like this!
Back then, Madam Li (Ji Tiankui's birth mother, Li Feifei) died in childbirth, so naturally Ji Tiankui wouldn't feel that kind of heartache! Having experienced life again, he deeply understands the coldness and unpredictability of human relationships, and how life is sometimes as insignificant as an ant's. However, he is determined to fight against fate and destiny!
Doukou and Xian'er bowed to Ji Tiankui as he came out, and he nodded and left.
The two maids immediately went into the inner room and saw Ji Wushang holding Madam Bei's hand, as if he had become a wooden sculpture, silent and motionless.
"Miss, you must be tired. Should you go back and rest?" Xian'er said, worried about Ji Wushang's health.
Ji Wushang shook his head. "All of you, get out of here. Keep a close eye on the East Garden. Report anything that happens to me immediately! Do you understand?"
Doukou and Xian'er exchanged a glance, both sighing inwardly. Xian'er said, "Yes."
Ji Wushang listened to the footsteps fading into the distance, then simply watched over Madam Bei, keeping vigil all night.
It was quite a scene at Aunt Bai's place. As soon as they heard she was pregnant, they immediately summoned some midwives to check if the baby was developing normally. Aunt Bai seemed to have become the center of attention in the mansion, and the Ji sisters were especially attentive, determined to help Aunt Bai secure her position as the mistress of the house.
Originally, Madam Bei had recovered from her illness and should have resumed control of the household affairs. Unexpectedly, Concubine Bai's sudden appearance provoked Madam Bei. Secondly, it shifted all the blame onto Madam Bei. Although Ji Dingbei was able to suppress it, the maids and servants in the household had all seen it and might spread the word, giving Madam Bei a bad reputation as a jealous woman. Thirdly, Concubine Bai had a child, and her status was obviously going to rise again. It was inevitable that people would spread rumors that the weak concubine was being bullied by the First Madam.
Aunt Bai kept her eyes closed, pretending to be asleep. She had already woken up when she was brought back. Now, Ji Dingbei would prioritize the child in his womb, and she, Madam Bei, would naturally be left out! Hearing no sound around her, Aunt Bai opened her eyes, looked at the room she knew so well, and suddenly smiled. Becoming a madam was just around the corner!
This three-birds-with-one-stone strategy can be considered a comeback! Aunt Bai stroked her lower abdomen, which was not yet swollen. She had heard what the doctor and Ji Dingbei said. The baby was only about a month old and almost died from the fall, but the little life was quite tenacious and did not fall.
Aunt Bai lay on the bed, looking at the bed curtains. Sure enough, a gust of wind blew by, and a tall man dressed in black stood in front of her bed. His eyes were deep and unfathomable, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned. "You've finally made your move."
"Of course." Aunt Bai sat up in bed and looked at the man in front of her. "Do you think this child is yours?"
"What do you think?" Hei Wuyai's lips twitched slightly as he touched Aunt Bai's lower abdomen. His hot palm transmitted his warmth, causing Aunt Bai to startle for a moment, but then she smiled. "This is undoubtedly your child."
Hei Wuyai withdrew his large hand. "Why do you think that?"
"Don't you believe me?" Aunt Bai reached out and touched Hei Wuyai's face, gently stroking it.
Hei Wuyai grabbed her hand and kissed it gently, his gaze burning as he looked at Aunt Bai. "I believe you."
"There's more to come, and I hope you'll see it." Aunt Bai looked at him, her expression softening slightly.
Hei Wuyai frowned. "I'm here today to tell you that I'm leaving this place."
"What?" Aunt Bai looked at Hei Wuyai. "You said you wanted to be with me, and you would be with me!"
"Don't get agitated! Do you want someone to come in and see you having an affair? Hmm?" Hei Wuyai stared at Aunt Bai with his deep eyes. "Don't be so naive!"
Seeing his attitude, Aunt Bai's heart turned cold. "Get out! Get out of here right now! Don't ever show your face in front of me again!" With that, she waved her sleeve and pointed to the door.
Hei Wuyai's expression darkened slightly. "The sect leader's orders must be obeyed. Take good care of yourself! I believe in your abilities!" With that, he gave Aunt Bai one last look before leaving.
Aunt Bai heard the wind had already blown by, and there was no trace of his presence; he was already far away. Aunt Bai lowered her hand, her face already covered in tears, but she quickly wiped them away.
"Bai Aomei, what do you hope for? What exactly do you hope for! From today onwards, you will manipulate all men at will! You will slaughter everyone in General Ji's mansion! If anyone stands in your way, I, Bai Aomei, will make everyone submit to you!" Aunt Bai looked at the night sky and laughed wildly.
Just before dawn, Ji Tiankui finally returned. He brought the Ghost Doctor back to the mansion, but unexpectedly, they were blocked at the gate.
"Why are you back so late?" Ji Dingbei looked at Ji Tiankui with deep eyes, and at the same time looked at the ghost doctor beside him. At this moment, the ghost doctor was wearing coarse clothes and had brought his own eating utensils. Ji Dingbei naturally had more doubts in his heart.
I am very satisfied with this son, but what I fear most is that he has made some bad friends.
“My mother’s condition has worsened, and the doctors in the manor are helpless. Naturally, I went out to find another doctor to take a look. It’s worth a fight.” Ji Tiankui looked at Ji Dingbei. Although he was a little resentful that he only cared about that Aunt Bai, he was still his father at this moment, so he naturally had that respect.
Upon hearing this, Ji Dingbei's expression softened slightly. "Please come in quickly!" The Ghost Doctor glanced at Ji Dingbei, looked him up and down, and said, "This old man greets the Great General." With that, he cupped his hands in greeting.
"Please treat my wife as soon as possible, sir. I will repay you handsomely!" Ji Dingbei knew it was best to say less nonsense.
Ji Tiankui immediately led the Ghost Doctor to the North Garden, and Ji Dingbei followed.
Upon arriving at Beiyuan, the door to the room was still open, and some guards were standing there. Beside them, the maids Doukou and Xian'er were keeping watch, but they couldn't resist the drowsiness and kept dozing off.
“Xian’er Doukou!” Ji Tiankui looked at the two of them and said in a deep voice.
Upon seeing Ji Tiankui, Xian'er and Doukou immediately snapped out of their daze and exclaimed in unison, "Young Master!" But then, seeing that Ji Dingbei was standing behind him, they both knelt down, saying, "Master!"
"No need. Are the young lady and madam inside?" Ji Dingbei looked inside. Some light shone through the window, and he could vaguely see a figure lying on a bed.
“Yes,” Xian’er replied.
Ji Dingbei immediately went in first, followed by Ji Tiankui and the Ghost Doctor. Xian'er and Doukou exchanged glances and then followed them in.
Ji Dingbei went in and lifted the beaded curtain, where he saw Ji Wushang leaning against the bedside, her delicate hand holding Madam Bei's hand, her small face still faintly wet with tears. Madam Bei on the bed was breathing weakly and her face was pale.
Ji Dingbei recalled what had just happened. He knew that Madam Bei was not in good health, and he had helped her out. How could she have pushed Aunt Bai to the ground? Was there something he hadn't seen or noticed?
But Aunt Bai has a child; surely she wouldn't do anything to her own child? After all, even tigers don't eat their cubs; what mother could be so heartless?
Ji Tiankui entered at this moment. Seeing Ji Dingbei deep in thought, he coughed lightly and said, "The Ghost Doctor has arrived. We should treat him properly."
☆、075 People die, and Wu Shang will demand blood for revenge!
Ji Dingbei immediately walked to the side. At this moment, Ji Wushang woke up, rubbed his eyes, looked around at everyone, and fixed his gaze on Ji Dingbei. He desperately wanted to know if this was still his father—the father who loved and cared for him. But at least he had come to see his mother…
Ji Wushang stood up and bowed to Ji Dingbei, saying, "Father." Then he bowed to Ji Tiankui, saying, "Brother, thank you."
"Silly sister, no need to thank me!" Ji Tiankui gently patted Ji Wushang's shoulder. Ji Dingbei looked at the two of them and wondered to himself, could it be that this ghost doctor was the one Ji Wushang invited?
"Please, sir." Ji Wushang walked up to the Ghost Doctor, looking at him with hopeful eyes. At this moment, he longed to hear words from him that would put his mind at ease.
The Ghost Doctor stepped forward and took Madam Bei's pulse. His brows were already furrowed. After a short while, the Ghost Doctor put down Madam Bei's hand and looked at Ji Wushang. Ji Wushang looked at the doctor, who was over fifty years old, and read helplessness in his eyes.
Ji Wushang stepped back, covered his mouth, and shook his head gently.
"Please, young lady... take good care of Madam! Madam's days are numbered." The Ghost Doctor bowed deeply to Ji Wushang.
Ji Wushang shook his head, tears streaming down his face. Ji Dingbei listened, shocked, standing there for a long time without reacting. Ji Tiankui watched, then silently walked to Ji Wushang's side and gently patted Ji Wushang's shoulder.
"Sir, how many days do we have left?" Ji Wushang seemed to remember something, looked up, wiped away his tears, and asked.
"In less than two days," the Ghost Doctor sighed. "I truly apologize for my incompetence..." As he spoke, he began packing his belongings. "From now on, the Ghost Doctor will cease to exist, and it's time for me to retire!"
