Chapter 312 Xiao Kang's Request
"Grandmother, my fourth sister said that this time the genius doctor's apprentice treated Prince Yi for 50,000 taels. It is said that this is just the initial fee. For someone like my mother, I'm afraid you can't hire him without 20,000 or 30,000 taels."
Su Lihan’s words made old Kang gasp!
This is too expensive!
Fifty thousand taels!
Prince Yi's mansion can be easily given away, it shows that he is really wealthy. No wonder the people in the third house have become better in dressing.
It would have been great if this money was given to me, but it was wasted to spend it on that old Prince Yi.
"His treatment is too expensive! Just let Doctor Wang continue to see you."
Old Kang was reluctant to spend so much money on a doctor for no reason.
"Aunt, please love me. Doctor Wang has been treating me for so long, but I still can't stand up. If I continue like this, what if I really can't stand up? What will I do in the future?"
"I also wanted to stand and watch Yue Qi riding a tall horse and parading through the streets after he became the top scholar. I can't let people know that the top scholar has a mother who can't walk."
"Aunt, please help me. Just think of it as a loan for the medical fee. I will return it to you when the Second Master and Yue Qi graduate from high school."
Xiao Kang wanted to kneel down to Lao Kang, but she couldn't stand up. As she struggled, she fell off the chair and lay on the ground.
Su Lihan also started crying, but she was not crying because of Xiaokang's poor health, but because she had a mother who was disabled. She wondered if the King of Qi would dislike her. Moreover, she did not want her mother to be criticized after she ascended to a high position in the future.
Therefore, Su Lihan also knelt down to Old Kang and said sadly:
"Grandmother, please help my mother. If she can't stand up like this, it will affect the reputation of the Marquisate in the future."
Old Kang was upset. She had already spent a lot of money on Xiao Kang. If she continued to spend, how much money would she have left for her coffin? Especially today, that little bitch Jiang had taken away one of her sources of income, and she had to pay hush money.
She covered her heart and looked at the mother and daughter crying for no apparent reason.
Let the children pay off their parents’ debts!
Just help them. After all, the money will be returned to me after Yue Qi becomes the top scorer in the imperial examination.
"Fifth girl, help your mother get back on her feet. We are all family, so how can I not love your mother?" Old Mrs. Kang turned her Buddhist beads, thinking about how to deal with this matter.
Xiaokang and Su Lihan were both very happy, and even Nanny Ji was very happy. Only Liu, who walked in later, was unhappy.
When she heard the doctor say that it was unknown when Su Yueqi would wake up, she was extremely happy.
It would be best if I could never wake up, and just fall into a complete sleep until the day I get into the coffin.
Xiaokang has lost her son and can't stand up again. Let's see what she can show off in front of me.
But now?
The old woman actually spent a lot of money to hire the apprentice of the miracle doctor to treat Xiao Kang. Is she old and confused? She is biased to the point of being biased. Could it be that the old woman really picked up the master?
After the money is taken out, how can the people in the second house possibly pay it back? This is no different from throwing money into the water.
Moreover, the second wife's mother and daughter kept saying that Su Yueqi could be the top scholar in the imperial examination. Does he have that ability? Now I don't know when I will sleep, and I still want to be the top scholar. It's ridiculous!
"Madam, if even the genius doctor can't cure your sister-in-law, then it would be a waste of money!" Mrs. Liu reminded Mrs. Kang.
Xiaokang had been helped up and sat down on the soft chair. She stared at Liu with dim eyes.
Shameless bitch!
If you want to stop the old lady from taking out the money, just say it directly. Why beat around the bush?
"Sister-in-law, the miracle doctor hasn't come to treat me yet. How do you know he can't cure you? You are not a worm in his stomach." Xiaokang has been dissatisfied with Liu for a long time.
"You!" Liu was furious, but the two Kang masters were looking at her unfriendlyly, so she could only give up refuting and curse the two Kang masters in her heart.
For a moment, no one in the room spoke.
After about half an incense stick of time, Doctor Wang came over and after examining Su Yueqi, he also said:
"Madam, Second Madam, he looks like he's asleep. Let me give him an injection to see if I can wake him up."
Naturally, both the elder and younger Kang families agreed to this.
Liu watched coldly as Doctor Wang used the needle, feeling very worried. She hoped that Doctor Wang's needle would go off target and completely stab Su Yueqi in the bed so that he would never wake up.
Doctor Wang used silver needles to stimulate many acupuncture points on Su Yueqi, but he didn't wake up, so he couldn't help but wonder.
"Has he eaten anything before?"
Quan Kun, the servant who served Su Yueqi, came over and said, "Doctor Wang, our young master ate the same food as usual. He only had a small piece of pastry in the afternoon. Not long after, he suddenly fainted."
When Old Kang heard this, he was shocked.
"Bring the shortbread that Yueqi is eating."
Quan Kun didn't dare to delay and hurried over to bring over the remaining biscuits on the plate.
"Doctor Wang, please take a look, is there anything wrong with these pastries?" Old Mrs. Kang asked Quan Kun to bring the plate to Doctor Wang.
Doctor Wang first pricked the wound with a silver needle and found that the needle tip did not turn black, so he broke off another piece and smelled it carefully.
"Madam, there is nothing wrong with this pastry." Doctor Wang said.
No problem, then why hasn’t her grandson woken up yet?
"In my opinion, the young master may be tired. It is better to let him have a good rest. I will leave a prescription. When he wakes up, he can drink it."
Doctor Wang thought about it and felt that Su Yueqi was clearly sleeping. After all, acupuncture may not be able to wake up all sleeping people.
When Old Mrs. Kang heard what Doctor Wang said, she knew that this could only be the result.
"Thank you, Imperial Doctor Wang."
While waiting for him to leave the prescription and leave the mansion, Xiaokang became so anxious that she started crying again.
She couldn't even wake up her son, so it was impossible for him to just fall asleep. He was clearly sick, but neither the old doctor nor Doctor Wang could find out what was wrong.
"Aunt, Yue Qi must be sick. What should we do?" Xiao Kang said anxiously.
"Aren't we going to invite the genius doctor's apprentice over tomorrow? Let him help Yue Qi too. Forget it, there's no need for tomorrow. Let's go and tell the fourth girl to go to the palace and invite someone. She must invite the genius doctor over."
Old Kang originally wanted to wait until tomorrow, but when he saw Su Yueqi's expression, he could no longer wait!
Su Qingwan must go and hire someone now!
When Nanny Ji heard what the old lady said, she immediately said, "I will go and inform the fourth young lady."
She walked quickly towards Fuguang Courtyard, but unexpectedly, Su Qingwan was not there, so she had to rush to Helin Courtyard.
In Helin Courtyard, Su Qingwan helped her mother sort out the account books. Su Zhiru wanted to speak several times but had no chance. In the end, he could only leave in disappointment.
"Mom, Dad is gone." Su Qingwan said.
"Finally he left. I have no idea what the hell he was thinking about coming to my house to smoke!"
