Shi Qingxue also wasn’t willing to let go of them so easily, but she didn’t bother to think deeply about it at this urgent moment.
Pretending not to see the looks of those people, she said in a humble tone, “Grandma, please forgive me. It is not that I don’t treasure this sisterhood. I accidentally learned just now that there was a skilled doctor in Mang Mountain named Shen Luo, and he might be able to cure Baoning’s illness. That’s why I went to send people to inquire, hoping to invite this skilled doctor to heal Baoning.”
Mo Shujun didn’t expect Qingxue’s execution to be so strong, and she even thought of finding a skilled doctor to heal Baoning.
“Huh! What kind of skilled doctor is she talking about? Who knows whether it’s gonna work or not? Besides, the doctor of the family is experienced, Qingxue is planning to abandon the good doctor in the house, and to go somewhere far to find a rural doctor. Who’s to blame if anything bad happens?” Shi Baoyan did not hold back, and sneered at Shi Qingxue again, speaking ceaselessly like a firecracker.
She made such a serious accusation, just wanting to blame Shi Qingxue for killing her elder sister!
If that person was timid, she might really be easily fooled by Shi Baoyan.
But Shi Qingxue didn’t buy it, and talked back indifferently, “Of course I will spare no effort trying to save my elder sister. Whether the skilled doctor will succeed or not, who can tell before a try? Do you have any better ways to make Baoning healed without medicine?”
Of course Shi Baoyan didn’t have any ways, and her vigor suddenly weakened.
Shi Qingxue looked at Dr. Qin aside who was feeling Shi Baoning’s pulse. The latter quickly and respectfully said, “I am lack of medicating means, and have not been able to heal First Lady for many years, and I am really ashamed. Speaking of the skilled doctor Shen Luo, I have occasionally heard of him. If you can invite this person, First Lady may really be healed!”
Even the doctor of the Shi Family said so, Shi Baoyan had no room to bargain any more.
Mo Shujun was overjoyed when she heard the words, “Really! In this case, I will immediately send some men to Mang Mountain to find this person!”
“Grandma!” Shi Qingxue interrupted at this time, in Mo Shujun’s inquiring sight, and gently explained, “I know from the book that those who are called skilled doctors are very difficult to get along. If we send a servant casually to invite him, then the doctor may not be willing to come a long way to medicate Baoning. So I want to go to Mang Mountain in person.”
In the surprised eyes of everyone, she continued to say calmly, “First, I can go ask the local people to find out whether this doctor is really worthy of the name; second, I can also show the sincerity of our Shi Family and I reckon that the doctor should not refuse.”
With such reasons of Shi Qingxue, even if Zhou Ruyu didn’t want Shi Qingxue to push herself forward, she had no reason to disagree. Not to mention that Mo Shujun had already nodded repeatedly, boasting Qingxue’s sisterhood affection.
Depressed in her heart, Zhou Ruyu looked around and her sight fell on Shi Baoyan, who was also upset.
Suddenly, she said, “Mother, you are right. The ladies you taught are naturally good. Needless to say Qingxue. Even though Baoyan and Baoning were not from the same mother, she is also very worried about Baoning’s health. She sighed and told me a few days ago that she just hated that she couldn’t go out to find a good doctor for Baoning!”
Shi Baoyan was suddenly mentioned, and she looked dumbfounded and said, “I didn’t…”
Zhou Ruyu gave her a severe glance, and she realized that Auntie was fighting for her merit!
Shi Baoyan looked at Zhou Ruyu gratefully, and nodded quickly and begged Mo Shujun, “Grandma, I am also very concerned about the health of Baoning. Although Qingxue said that the skilled doctor was amazing, but I am not assured unless I take a visit in person. I hope that Grandma can allow me.”
Of course Mo Shujun was very happy with family harmony and love, but thinking that the skilled doctor was proposed from Shi Qingxue, she asked, “Qingxue, what do you think?”
Everyone’s sights gathered on Shi Qingxue again. Of course, Zhou Ruyu and Shi Baoyan became jealous in their hearts again, and even Dong Hui looked at her with anxiety.
Shi Qingxue didn’t look at anyone, just lowered her head, “I will obey Grandma’s decision.”
She didn’t agree, nor did she refuse.
“Well!” Mo Shujun took a meaningful look at Shi Qingxue with a bit of inquiry, but she didn’t continue to say. She groaned for a moment, and nodded, “Since Qingxue is okay with that, you should prepare well and go together!”
After that, she turned around to Dong Hui and explained, “You will help them get some luggage packed tomorrow, and then dispatch a few guardians who are good at martial arts in the house to ensure their safety.”
The Mo Dynasty’s national custom was open. In the early days of founding the country, there were circumstances where women went on the battlefield. At this time, it was not a big deal to go out. The old madam simply instructed something, and then went back to Shou’an Hall to rest.
It was Mo Shujun’s sixtieth birthday today, and she was exhausted for a day. It was enough to show her love of Shi Baoning that she could come to visit her. But it was impossible for her to stay here for a long time.
As soon as she left, the others would not stay long.
After a moment, there were only Shi Qingxue and Dong Hui left in the room.
Xia Mang was very smart and whispered, “Sixth Lady, I will go out to guard. You can just tell me if you need anything!”
Dong Hui then asked, “Qingxue, what is the skilled doctor you said? The doctors in the capital city and even the doctors in the emperor’s palace have drawn the conclusion that Ning’s illness was brought out from the mother’s womb and it’s impossible to heal. She can only be nursed carefully. How can you call that bluff in front of your grandmother?”
“When did I call a bluff? I just said that the skilled doctor had great ability, and he might cure Baoning!” She didn’t say any absolute words!
As for the origin of this skilled doctor, Shi Qingxue hesitated for a moment, but she still did not tell Dong Hui about her meeting with Mo Junyu.
To tell this thing or not to tell, which was better?
