Chapter 55 Li Muxue's Admiration for Jiang Mianmian
Li Tingxue's face was full of anger, and she said with a look of disappointment, "I'm just hoping that my mother-in-law can save my sister-in-law's life! Don't you believe what I'm saying?"
If you still have doubts, go home and ask your parents yourself, and see what they have to say.
Li Xingzhou stood there, stunned, his mind a jumbled mess of thoughts. He tried his best to understand and process the important information his sister had given him.
And so, the group remained silent as the carriage slowly returned to the front of the Li residence.
Just then, Mr. and Mrs. Li were waiting for them to return! When they saw their son holding their motionless daughter-in-law in his arms, they were immediately startled, their faces turning pale. They had thought their daughter-in-law...
After the couple recognized their daughter and son-in-law following behind, Mr. and Mrs. Li hurriedly went to greet them and asked their daughter what had happened.
Her anxious gaze swept over her daughter-in-law, as if she wanted to ask her daughter if this daughter-in-law was...
Li Tingxue quickly reached out to comfort her parents and said softly, "Father, Mother, please don't panic. Let's go inside first, and I'll slowly explain the whole story in detail."
So, everyone walked together into the courtyard where Li Xingzhou and Ji Wanru lived.
In the courtyard stood an elderly man with a white beard. This old man was Dr. Wu, who had been employed by the Li family for many years. He had been waiting there for quite some time.
When Dr. Wu saw everyone come in, he nodded slightly in acknowledgment and then quickly entered the house with them.
Li Xingzhou gently placed Ji Wanru on the bed, and Doctor Wu also went over and sat down on the stool next to the bed.
He first carefully examined Ji Wanru's complexion, then gently lifted her wrist to begin taking her pulse for diagnosis.
Time ticked by, and everyone present held their breath, watching Dr. Wu's every move intently, silently praying that Ji Wanru would be safe and sound.
After about fifteen minutes, Dr. Wu finally released Ji Wanru's slender wrist.
He looked around at everyone with a serious expression and told them the truth: Ji Wanru's physical condition was quite bad at the moment.
He frowned slightly and described with concern, "Her body is unusually weak, like an old woman with a candle flickering in the wind."
Moreover, just now when I was taking her pulse, I discovered that her pulse was intermittent, almost imperceptible…”
"Given the patient's current condition, it will likely take a long time to fully recover, at least three to five years of careful recuperation."
I have prescribed a relatively mild medicine for now, for the patient to take for a period of time. I will come back in two months to check her pulse again and see if her condition has improved.”
As Dr. Wu spoke, he gently shook his head, a hint of helplessness on his face.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Li hurriedly walked up to Doctor Wu and said with a face full of gratitude, "Doctor Wu, you've really gone to so much trouble! I'll arrange for the steward to send someone to escort you back to the shop right away."
After saying that, he turned and winked at the butler standing to the side.
The steward understood immediately, and stepped forward with a smile, respectfully saying to Doctor Wu, "Doctor Wu, please follow me this way."
Afterwards, the Li family led Doctor Wu to the door and personally saw him off, while also instructing someone to get medicine for the young mistress.
Doctor Wu didn't delve into why the usually healthy eldest daughter-in-law of the Li family would suddenly fall so ill; every family has its secrets.
Therefore, he never asks questions he shouldn't and keeps his mouth shut to avoid getting into trouble.
After Dr. Wu left, Father Li breathed a slight sigh of relief, but then quickly regained his previous solemn expression.
He glanced sharply at the busy servants around him, waved his hand, and said in a deep voice:
"You may all leave now. We don't need to serve you here for the time being. Also, have someone guard this courtyard and not allow anyone to enter without permission, so as not to disturb our important discussion."
The servants dared not be negligent in the slightest, and all responded with "yes" before filing out in single file.
In no time, only Father Li and his children remained in the courtyard, and the surroundings became quiet.
At this moment, Mr. and Mrs. Li hurriedly turned their attention to their eldest daughter, Li Tingxue.
Li Tingxue then began to recount the events of the day with a serious expression. She didn't omit any details, and even revealed her mother-in-law's innermost thoughts without reservation.
Just then, Li Muxue, the youngest daughter who had been quietly listening, suddenly brightened up and excitedly shouted:
"Wow, my sister's mother-in-law is so amazing! Isn't this the kind of superpower you only see in picture books? She's practically a goddess, it's incredible! Oh my, I'm so incredibly envious!"
After saying that, Li Muxue seemed to remember something, and suddenly turned her head to continue speaking to her father and mother:
"Father, Mother, do you remember that thick stack of sketchbooks I brought back for you today? They contained stories like this, about swapping souls, and wondrous tales between humans, monsters, and gods..."
Immediately afterward, Li Muxue began to talk non-stop, recounting the wonderful passages from the picture books to her parents.
She vividly described all sorts of bizarre and fantastical events, as if she were already immersed in that magical world...
Father and Mother Li: "..."
At this moment, Li's father and mother looked at each other, their expressions a mixture of amusement and exasperation.
After a long while, Li's father finally couldn't help but interrupt, "Alright, alright, Muxue, stop for a moment."
Finally, Li's mother shook her head helplessly and asked, "Muxue, aren't you all afraid of these strange and unusual things?"
"Oh dear, Father, Mother, don't worry! I'm not scared at all! In fact, I truly believe that my mother-in-law is a fairy reincarnated, a great benefactor who saves all living beings from suffering!"
Look at her! She not only rescued her eldest sister first, but also freed her sister-in-law who had been trapped for many years. What incredible ability and skill she must have!
To be honest, I'm really looking forward to going with my sister to her in-laws' house and meeting this amazing mother-in-law in person.
I should really pay my respects to this super expert! Who knows, I might even learn a lot of amazing skills from her!
