The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 10: The Ninth Lady is Frail and Short-lived
Hou House.

Lang Zhengping asked the servants and quickly came to the room where Lang Jiuchuan was taken away. Seeing Cui standing at the door with a gloomy face and not going in, he paused slightly.

Cui heard the footsteps, turned around, and knelt down to him and said, "Brother."

When Lang Zhengping saw her, he thought of his half brother. When the Lang family was in decline, Lang Zhengping gave birth to a brave and resourceful General Anbei who was able to stabilize the country, protect the people and safeguard the home. He was the pride of the Lang family, but such pride ended in his early death on the battlefield.

The night before my second brother died, Cui suddenly went into premature labor. The fetus, which was more than seven months old, took a whole day and night to be born. By the time the baby was born, the news of my second brother's death had also reached the family.

After her second brother died, Cui became confused and insane, insisting that the child was not hers and was a disaster. Not only did she lose half her life, she also almost lost the child.

For this reason, Lang Jiuchuan was raised in his mother's yard after he was born. She thought that everything would be peaceful. However, when the child was three years old, during the third year memorial ceremony for his second brother, she almost drowned the child in the water. It is said that the look in her eyes at that time was as if she was looking at an enemy.

At that time, Master Xuanjing of the Huguo Temple said that if the child was to be raised, the mother and daughter must not live together. So the mother took the child to live on the farm for two years, and later raised the child on the farm.

And Cui never remarried, but lived as a widow in her own courtyard. However, after so many years, she still couldn't let it go.

As the eldest uncle, and because the other party had been a widow for so many years, he couldn't blame his sister-in-law for anything. He thought for a while and said, "Second sister-in-law, the child has just returned, we will teach him slowly."

The mother slapped the girl in the face, especially in front of outsiders, which ultimately hurt the child's face. She was the only flesh and blood of the second brother.

Cui lowered her eyes and said nothing.

"Master, Second Madam."

An old maid stepped forward quickly, bowed to the two of them, and said, "The ninth lady is back. The old lady was very happy to hear about it and wanted to meet her."

Lang Zhengping showed a look of joy and asked, "Mother is awake again?"

Nanny Wang smiled bitterly and shook her head, saying, "You also know the old lady's memory. It gets worse every year. Even the ninth young lady..." She glanced at Cui and said, "She only remembers occasionally. The young lady is in there, right? This old servant will go in to pay her respects." Lang Jiuchuan had heard the noise coming from outside a long time ago. She was thinking about something when she suddenly heard a gasp. She looked over and saw that it was the court physician of the Kaiping Marquis' Mansion, who was also called by Wu to see her hand injury. Now he was looking at her in astonishment with a pale face.

"Doctor Chen, what's wrong?" When Mrs. Wu saw the doctor's expression, she became nervous. Could it be that her husband really had caused something wrong with her sister-in-law's hand being pulled by him?

“This pulse…”

Lang Jiuchuan followed his gaze to his hands and his heart skipped a beat.

broken.

He was so busy being angry that he forgot to support his broken body. His pulse was gone.

"I have been weak since I was a child. Can you take a closer look?" She stretched out her left hand and directed a stream of energy over.

Doctor Chen calmed himself down and thought that it must be because there was a funeral in the mansion these two days, and he was tired from taking pulses and prescribing medicine for the people in the mansion, otherwise how could he not feel the pulse?
He took a deep breath, placed two fingers on her left hand, frowned and felt her pulse. After a while, he withdrew his hand and breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, he was wrong.

But soon, he frowned again, because the girl's body was too weak and she had suffered severe damage. She was simply a short-lived creature who would not live long.

"Ninth Miss's pulse is very weak and slow. This is a deficiency and weakness she was born with. In addition, her Qi and blood are severely deficient. She must be carefully treated. Otherwise..." Doctor Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "If she is not treated well, not only will it be difficult for her to get married and have children, but she may also live a shorter life."

There were some things he didn't dare to say, that is, his body was no worse than that of an old man in his twilight years.

He is frail and short-lived.

After hearing what the court doctor meant, Wu was stunned. She subconsciously looked at Cui who appeared at the door, and then looked at Lang Jiuchuan who had a slap mark on his face and a calm expression, and she couldn't help feeling upset.
