Chapter 234 Making a Decision

After hearing these words, even Gu Jinghui, who always liked to cause trouble for Lao Liu, paused.

The courtyard was sealed off, and Gu Jingjun couldn't go in to take a look. The Sixth Madam was deliberately hiding it, and the Sixth Master really had no other options.

However, Gu Jinghui easily found an excuse to scold his sixth brother.

"That's because your Sixth Brother's wife and you don't get along well, otherwise why would they hide it from you?"

As expected, Gu Jingjun lowered his head in frustration.

Mr. Gu Liu couldn't help but feel sorry for himself. He wished he hadn't quarreled with Xu across the courtyard wall when he first went to see the two children.

Qin Yuan said: "Sixth brother, your third brother is right. This is your family affair. Third sister-in-law shouldn't help you make decisions."

Gu Jinghui glanced proudly at Gu Jingjun, who lowered his head even more.

Qin Yuan continued: "However, Third Sister-in-law can help you with some ideas."

Gu Jingjun raised his head abruptly, his pair of gentle peach blossom eyes full of trust, and said hurriedly: "Thank you, Third Sister-in-law. I have always heard from my mother and Third Brother that Third Sister-in-law is well-read and intelligent. Now I have lost my composure, please speak frankly."

Gu Jinghui lowered his lips slightly, looked at Qin Yuan, and said, "Madam is in charge of all matters in the mansion now. Madam, why don't you consider the overall situation and tell us what to do?"

Qin Yuan did not refuse and said bluntly: "I don't know why my sixth sister-in-law doesn't want to see a doctor, but I'm afraid this illness can't be delayed any longer. The most urgent thing is to find a good doctor to treat her. As for other things..."

She paused, "I don't know what my husband and my sixth brother are planning. In my opinion, the matter of my sixth brother's wife is not simple. Because of smallpox, Dingbei Marquis Mansion has been at the center of controversy. Now the emperor has not blamed us because after the mansion was sealed, there has been no smallpox in the capital."

"If anything happens to Sixth Brother's wife at this time, the Xu family will already be entangled with the Marquis' Mansion because of Sister Zhen's matter. I'm afraid it won't end well. It will also give people with ulterior motives the opportunity to slander the Marquis' Mansion."

Everyone was shocked.

Gu Jinghui frowned.

Master Gu stamped his feet in annoyance: "The Xu family is such a poor family that we really can't get involved with at all."

Gu Jinghui scolded, “What’s the point of complaining at this time? You’ve already married her and she’s even given birth to so many children for you. Even for the sake of the children, you shouldn’t say these things in public.”

It would be fine if brothers said it among each other, but how could you say it in front of so many people?

Master Gu Liu shut his mouth in grievance.

Gu Jinghui comforted him again, “I will find a way to invite the director of the Imperial Hospital to come and treat Sixth Brother’s wife.”

Doctor Li's expression was somewhat puzzled.

Mr. Gu Liu couldn't believe it.

"Now that the mansion is still sealed, how could he come?"

Qin Yuan also asked: "How confident are you, husband?"

Gu Jinghui put down the teacup in his hand impatiently and said, “If Sixth Brother’s wife was willing to let Doctor Li see her, there wouldn’t be so many problems. Now that things have come to this, this is the only option left. Anyway, the mansion is about to open. If you invite him, he will just stay in the mansion for a few more days. I don’t think he will blame me too much.”

Doctor Li asked, "Are you going to force me to do this, Lord?"

Lord Gu did not say anything, but his attitude of using courtesy before force was very clear.

Qin Yuan frowned.

Gu Jingjun hesitated and said, “Third brother, the chief physician of the Imperial Hospital is not an ordinary imperial physician.”

Qin Yuan also moved closer to Gu Jinghui and whispered, “Then Imperial Doctor Liu…”

Gu Jinghui was stunned for a moment before he said, “Never mind for now, let’s invite them first. There will always be a way out when the car reaches the mountain.”

Qin Yuan: "..." Doctor Li looked at Xiaodong and said, "Forget it. Instead of doing this, I might as well cure it. But this requires the Sixth Master to make the decision."

"Me?" Mr. Gu Liu looked surprised.

Doctor Li nodded: "Yes. The Sixth Madam is your wife, and the Marquis and his wife can't make decisions for you."

Gu Liuye stammered, "Xu Shi won't listen to me. If I could make up my mind, I would naturally hope that Doctor Li could see Xu Shi and ask her to take the medicine well and stop being suspicious."

Gu Jinghui looked at Doctor Li thoughtfully.

Doctor Li said, "Sixth Madam's illness can no longer be delayed. To be honest with you, Sixth Madam's illness has been delayed to this point. I'm afraid there are less than three people in Daxing who can cure her."

"What about you?" Lord Gu asked hurriedly.

Doctor Li's eyes flickered. "I can only prescribe a prescription and let her take care of herself. By then, it will depend on whether Dingbei Marquis's Mansion can find a famous doctor to cure the Sixth Madam."

After a pause, he said confidently, "I told Madam Six to cultivate her character and worry less, and not to be competitive, but it seems that Madam Six didn't listen. However, I never expected that Madam Six would be so seriously ill."

Master Gu Liu said: "Then..."

Doctor Li was too lazy to listen to his nagging and said bluntly, "Sixth Master, why don't you think of a way to get Madam Zhao to help drink the medicine I prescribed to hold on until the mansion is opened and the crisis is over? Then Madam can ask for help from someone else. What do you think, Sixth Master?"

Master Gu Liu hesitated and said, "I..."

Qin Yuan interrupted, "Why not let Aunt Zhao tell Sixth Brother's wife that the Marquis has invited an imperial physician from outside to see her. The imperial physician can be dressed as an unfamiliar guard."

“Then how does Doctor Li prescribe medicine?” Gu Jinghui asked.

Qin Yuan said, "It's not difficult. Let Madam Zhao give Madam Six some tranquilizing soup. When she falls asleep, I'll ask Doctor Li to take her pulse and prescribe medicine."

Gu Jinghui immediately said: “That’s it.”

Qin Yuan looked at Gu Jingjun.

Gu Jingjun breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said, “Third sister-in-law, that’s a good idea. That’s it.”

Gu Jinghui looked over with sharp eyes and said, “Sixth brother, you made the decision on this matter, don’t blame me later.”

Master Gu Liu twitched his lips and said, "Third brother, Third sister-in-law, Doctor Li, if I hadn't lost my composure at this moment, I would have been able to come up with a solution. I know the right and wrong. If Xu was easy to get along with, how could it have dragged on to this point? From now on, no matter what happens, it all depends on Xu's fate."

"I'm glad you understand," Gu Jinghui glanced at his sixth brother, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

After discussing it, they went to the upper room and informed Old Madam Gu.

When Mrs. Gu heard this, she was also horrified.

"How could this be? Didn't they say the two children were almost recovered these days? How come..." She thought for a moment and said, "You guys go get ready first. I'll ask Rong Mama to ask."

After leaving the upper room, Gu Liuye complained: "What else does mother want to ask? Isn't it obvious that Xu is too worried and doesn't want to see the doctor..."

Gu Jinghui rolled his eyes at Gu Liuye, "Who wouldn't be cautious? Didn't you understand what your third sister-in-law said? Really."

As he said that, he took Qin Yuan's hand and walked forward.

The corners of Gu Jinghui's lips curled slightly. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Qin Yuan: “…”

The despised Gu Liuye: "..."

Doctor Li seemed to have seen nothing and walked past Xiaodong silently.

Only Gu Shiliu failed to investigate and was stopped by the indignant Gu Liuye and complained, "Shiliu, come and judge for yourself."
