Chapter 169 How Can He Be a Good Person?

Qin Yuan said, "Sixth brother, I will take Doctor Li to see the Marquis first, and then I will tell him the details when he comes back. How about that?"

Gu Liuye immediately said, "Third sister-in-law, go and do your work. I'm not in a hurry."

Doctor Li and Xiaodong followed Qin Yuan out of the pavilion and walked towards the corridor.

Looking at Qin Yuan's figure, Mr. Gu Liu felt a little melancholy. He had just slept in a daze, and when he saw Qin Yuan standing in front of him, he really thought he had dreamed of a beauty who looked very much like his third sister-in-law.

The servant asked, "Just now the doctor told Sixth Master not to work too hard. Do you want to ask Aunt Zheng to sing a song to relieve her boredom?"

Master Gu Liu was not motivated and said, "No need."

The servant thought to himself, could it be that Aunt Zheng has completely fallen out of favor so quickly?
"Sixth Master, are you still thinking about that pipa player? You can find a way to redeem her after you open up your mansion."

Master Gu Liu shook his head and said, "Forget it."

"never mind?"

The servant was surprised.

For the sake of the Pipa Girl, the Sixth Master ignored Aunt Zheng's attempts to commit suicide and even had a fight with the Sixth Madam.

How long has it been since you changed your mind?

But he was serving by his master's side and didn't notice that his master had fallen in love with someone again.

Master Gu Liu said, "Didn't Doctor Li tell me to take care of my body and put the beauties aside for now?"

The servant said, "Oh."

This Pipa girl is really unlucky. Now that Sixth Master has forgotten about her, I don’t know when he will be able to remember her again.

When Qin Yuan and others entered the study, they saw Lord Gu sitting at the top waiting.

Seeing them come in, Lord Gu stood up, first exchanged politeness and offered them a seat, and then the host and the guest sat down.

Lord Gu had heard of Doctor Li's name for a long time, but this was the first time he had seen him, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.

Doctor Li is of medium build, neither fat nor thin, and there is nothing special about him, but the child he brought with him is very smart and handsome.

Lord Gu ordered someone to pour tea for Doctor Li, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then said, "It is a great honor for our mansion that Doctor Li is here. When our mansion survives this disaster, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

Upon hearing this, two chrysanthemums immediately blossomed in the corners of Doctor Li’s eyes.

As soon as he arrived, he was given one thousand taels. If nothing happened in the Marquis's Mansion, he might get another thousand taels.

For most of his life, he liked dealing with people like Lord Gu the most, who were straightforward, honest, generous and magnanimous.

"Thank you very much, my Lord." Doctor Li said without further ado, "Don't worry, my Lord. All the patients in the mansion are in our care. As soon as we got the news yesterday, we started preparing the herbs and making pills. We bottled them this morning. Now that all the herbs have been brought here, I dare say that as long as the mansion strictly follows my instructions, most people will be fine."

Lord Gu heaved a sigh of relief, immediately stood up and bowed, saying, "Then I'll have to trouble Doctor Li."

Doctor Li did not dare to accept this gift, and quickly stood up and stepped aside, saying with a smile: "My Lord, please don't embarrass me."

Qin Yuan and the other two sat down again, and then said, "My husband and Sixteen were discussing matters just now. Did you find anything wrong with Doctor Liu?"

Lord Gu glanced at Doctor Li.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, my husband. I have already told Doctor Li about what Doctor Liu is doing. Since Doctor Li has risked his life to enter the mansion, he will naturally be of the same mind as us and will live and die together."

Lord Gu suddenly realized that Qin Yuan had a close relationship with Doctor Li.

Otherwise, Doctor Li would not have given her a bottle of rare jade cream for several hundred taels of silver.

Thinking about it again, Qin Yuan also said that he wanted to let the army use Renhetang's ointment. It was true that his wife cared about him, and it was also true that she wanted to take care of Renhetang's business. But how could the daughter of the Imperial Academy's chief priest have such a deep relationship with the doctor of Renhetang?

Gu Jinghui took note of it calmly.

He also smiled and said, "In this case, I will not treat Doctor Li as an outsider. This Imperial Doctor Liu recommended himself to the palace. Originally, I was grateful for his noble character and treated him with great courtesy. However, because he has been moving around these days, there are not only a few more patients in the palace, but the guards also found that he used carrier pigeons to pass on news from the palace."

Doctor Li frowned when he heard this.

"Now the world is praising Marquis Dingbei for asking to be enfeoffed for the sake of the capital's safety, and praising Imperial Doctor Liu for not fearing danger and being a role model for doctors. I didn't expect him to do this in private. We are ashamed to be associated with him."

After expressing his attitude, Doctor Li said, "If there is anything you need, just give me the order. Madam has also told us to keep a close eye on Doctor Liu and warn him if anything goes wrong."

He didn't dare to be arrogant and really listened to what the Marquis said about Doctor Liu and someone else passing the message.

As a doctor, I often go in and out of various government offices and I always see many private matters. The way to save my life is to ask less and talk less.

Marquis Dingbei came from fighting on the battlefield, how could he be a good person?

Lord Gu laughed when he heard this and said, "Just do as Madam ordered. Keep a close eye on him so that he can be forced to show up."

Doctor Li agreed.

Lord Gu said again: "Why not arrange for you and him to live in the same courtyard? If anything happens, you can find out earlier. However, you also have to be more careful about him."

Doctor Li nodded repeatedly.

Xiaodong raised his head and stared blankly at the handsome general in front of him.

When Dingbei Hou returned to the court, he climbed up the stairs and scattered flowers.

The autumn sun shone on the silver armor of Marquis Dingbei, as dazzling as a legendary god. The flower petals in his hand swung slowly down the stairs, fell on the silver helmet, and fell down again, and were stepped on by the heroic and extraordinary black horse.

Although he didn't see Lord Gu's appearance clearly, Xiaodong always thought that the great hero Lord Dingbei must be a handsome man, but he never expected that he was actually a handsome man.

"Xiaodong, Xiaodong," Doctor Li called him, "Why are you daydreaming? We should leave now."

Xiaodong finally came back to his senses and couldn't help but sigh, "Sister and the Marquis are such a perfect match, they both look like they walked out of a painting."

"Why call me sister? Call me Madam," Doctor Li's eyes twitched.

Gu Jinghui seemed not to notice and smiled at Qin Yuan, “This kid has good taste.”

Xiaodong also grinned.

Qin Yuan said angrily, "His name is Xiaodong. What does he know as a kid? Why are you talking nonsense? I will take them to the upper room to check on mother's pulse."

Gu Jinghui said, “Let Sixteen take them there. I’ve already told mother about this yesterday.” Then he said to Doctor Li, “If you need anything, just tell Gu Sixteen directly.”

This means Qin Yuan will be left here to talk.

Qin Yuan hurriedly said: "Then let Hongye accompany us."

Gu Jinghui said softly: "Okay, okay, okay, it's up to you."

Seeing him treat Qin Yuan like this, Doctor Li and Xiao Dong were both pleased, but unexpectedly, Gu Jinghui had already seen it from the corner of his eye. Gu Shiliu received the order and took Doctor Li and Xiao Dong out of the study.

Hongye was there to keep him company.

Doctor Li looked around and saw that Master Gu Liu was still sitting in the pavilion, so he said, "Brother Sixteen, I still have something to say to Master Liu."

Gu Shiliu thought for a moment and said, "Then you go ahead, I'll wait here."
