The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 663 Through Him

Shi Lianchun was in the octagonal glazed pavilion. Because Yu Minglu was there, she didn't have the chance to mention the real core content of what she wanted to say to He Yizhi.

What she said to Guo Rong and what Meng Shisan revealed were not lies. She really did like He Yizheng.

Maybe that's why she didn't take it to heart, but she really took it to heart.

That time when she was bullied on the street, it was He Yizhi who passed by and spoke up for her, thus saving her from humiliation.

He may have never even seen her face clearly, but for the rest of her life, she would never forget the day when he came like a god and saved her from danger.

The reason she went to see him again this time was because she thought he was such a good person and a medical officer. Not to mention her father's troubles in the officialdom, he might be able to help with her father's illness.

She had to admit that she didn't think his medical skills were better than those of Doctor Gao, who had diagnosed her father. However, she believed that He Yizheng also had his connections, and she thought that it would be better to use his connections than to fly around like a headless fly.

Doctor He is his father. Doctor He is an old medical officer in the Imperial Medical Bureau. He knows many medical officers and has broad knowledge. If one medical officer cannot do the job, then getting a few more medical officers will surely do the job!
Unfortunately, her idea was too good, but it was too difficult to actually do it.

In the end, there was no gain.

Just as she was about to muster up the courage to speak directly to He Yi, Yu Minglu interrupted her and changed the subject, more than once.

After a while, she understood.

Yu Minglu probably knew what was going on in her family, and also roughly knew why she went to find He Yizheng, so he tried to stop her, just to prevent He Yizheng from getting involved in the big trouble of her Shi family.

She knew that she could not blame Yu Minglu, nor could she force He Yizheng to help her, but she had no other choice but to seek help everywhere!

Shi Lianchun couldn't hold back any longer and tears rolled down her eyes.

Guicao was worried and distressed: "Miss..."

Shi Lianchun raised her hand to wipe away her tears: "Nothing."

He Yizhi, who was walking behind, saw Shi Lianchun's actions in front of him. He could probably guess that Shi Lianchun was crying without even looking at her directly. He whispered to Yu Minglu, "Just now in the pavilion, you didn't let Miss Shi finish her words, but what she wanted to say to me was not good."

"Yeah." Yu Minglu responded with only one word.

He Yizhi suddenly realized and said, "What bad words are you talking about? Tell me."

"Nothing." Yu Minglu's entire focus was now on Meng Shisan. He had no mood to talk to He Yizhi about the matter of Shi Que in detail.

He Yizhi was not satisfied with Yu Minglu's perfunctory response: "If you don't tell me, I'll go ask Miss Shi."

Yu Minglu was unmoved: "You go."

He Yizhi would never really go there. He reached out and grabbed Yu Minglu, not letting him go any further: "Hurry up and tell me. If you tell me, I won't let you go to see Miss Meng that you wanted to see!"

"Who said..."

"deny?"

Yu Minglu choked, glared at He Yizhi, and then said slowly and helplessly: "County Magistrate Shi offended someone in Yu Rendi's scheme, and is now seriously ill. My father has some friendship with Imperial Doctor Gao, and he once mentioned that Imperial Doctor Gao secretly told my father that County Magistrate Shi's illness is not like an ordinary illness, but rather like..."

"What?" He Yizhi became nervous. Yu Minglu lowered his voice again: "It's contaminated by evil spirits."

He Yizheng suddenly stopped where he was, with his mouth and eyes wide open.

Yu Minglu took two steps, but he didn't see He Yizhi following him. He knew his friend's character too well, so he wasn't surprised. He turned around and took two steps, but he pulled He Yizhi and said, "Put away that look of astonishment on your face."

He Yizhi was dragged by Yu Minglu for eight or nine steps before Fang Luelue came to his senses. He looked at Shi Lianchun's back and felt that Shi Lianchun was too pitiful: "Just now... I should have been nicer to Miss Shi."

Because a nice girl came to ask about him and was obviously trying hard to meet him, he thought that like those girls from humble families in the past, she was also coming for his marriage.

So when Shi Lianchun talked to him in the pavilion, he just responded in an impatient and perfunctory manner, not to mention answering the questions Shi Lianchun asked him properly.

Now that she thought about it, she asked him questions about medicine not to bring them closer together, but to seek medical advice for her father.

Her filial piety led him to misunderstand her and he did not answer her seriously.

He felt a little sad.

Yu Minglu glanced at He Yizhi, whose face showed clear discomfort, and warned him, "You'd better not get involved in Magistrate Shi's affairs. None of us should get involved. This is for the good of our respective mansions."

Seeing that He Yizhi didn't seem to be listening, he emphasized, "You don't want to kill your father, do you?"

"How is that possible?" He Yizheng jumped up instantly, his spirit and energy returning instantly, "Bai Ying, you can't talk nonsense like that!"

"That's good." Yu Minglu was really afraid that He Yizheng would be soft-hearted for a moment and then do something foolish, which would ultimately harm himself and bring disaster to his family.

He Yizhi said: "Although I feel sorry for Miss Shi, she is already lonely and helpless living in the Lu Mansion. If County Magistrate Shi is really... gone. Then Miss Shi will not be able to live in the Lu Mansion or stay in the capital anymore."

"Leaving the Lu Mansion and leaving the capital is not a bad thing." Yu Minglu felt that fortune and disaster are interdependent. Although he did not understand Shi Lianchun's situation in the Lu Mansion very well, he could probably imagine that it was definitely not going to be good.

"But if Magistrate Shi is really gone..."

"Can you help?"

This time it was Yu Minglu's turn to interrupt He Yizheng's unfinished words, leaving him speechless.

He Yizhi looked at Yu Minglu who was very calm: "Bai Ying, do you think that she came to me for help not because she really wanted my help, but because she wanted to get to my father through me, and then get to the office through my father... For example..."

Yu Minglu raised his hand and stopped He Yizheng from revealing the director and judge of the Imperial Medical Bureau.

He just nodded, confirming what He Yizheng said.

When He Yizheng saw Yu Minglu nodding again and again after trying to stop him from continuing, he understood.

After a moment, he looked at Shi Lianchun's back as she walked in the water corridor in front of him, feeling mixed emotions.

He was kind-hearted by nature and tried every possible means and avenues to save his father. He didn't think she was wrong.

However, when the blame really came down on him, and not just him, but also on his father, as well as the foundation of the He family's rise and fall, the pity that shrouded Shi Lianchun suddenly burst and disappeared like a bubble.

It is true that he has a conscience, but if his conscience requires him to pay the price with everything in the He Mansion, that is absolutely unacceptable.
