Chapter 212: Why Did We Do That in the First Place?
The only way now is to obtain Lin Rusi's forgiveness, so that Li Chun can escape this predicament.
After hearing Ye Ruoruo's explanation, Madam Li remained silent for a long time before finally nodding heavily.
She didn't want to provoke Lin Rusi again, but since it concerned her daughter, she had no choice but to take the risk.
The next day, the two reappeared at the gate of Prince Jinglie's mansion.
……
Inside the manor, Lin Rusi never expected Ye Ruoruo to come again today.
Watching the two awkward figures, Lin Rusi lowered her eyes and asked indifferently, "Why is Doctor Ye here again today?"
Ye Ruoruo took a sip of tea and then said, "I came to see Miss Lin today because I need your help with something."
"Oh?" Lin Rusi asked with interest. "Could it be...?"
“The other day, Lord Li from the Li family came to see me, saying that his daughter was ill. After examining her, I found that Miss Li’s illness was psychological.” Lin Ruoruo suddenly looked up at her, her gaze intense. “And this psychological illness is related to you.”
Lin Rusi raised an eyebrow, thinking of Wanxia's revenge on those three young ladies, and realized that Li Chun must be afraid because of that.
Lin Ruoruo kept observing Lin Rusi's expression. She didn't know what Lin Rusi's attitude was towards Li Chun, but for her, if she was entrusted with a mission, she had to cure the patient.
Lin Rusi took a sip of tea and looked up at Wanxia.
Wanxia shook her head. She didn't want her young lady to treat this woman. Although Li Chun hadn't harmed her young lady yet, she and Lin Rusi were mortal enemies.
What if I save her this time, and she becomes ungrateful after she recovers?
"Will Miss Lin agree?" Ye Ruoruo asked tentatively.
Ye Ruoruo's voice brought her back to her senses.
Lin Rusi pondered for a moment and nodded, "Since Doctor Ye has spoken, then of course it is possible."
Just as Ye Ruoruo breathed a sigh of relief, she heard Lin Rusi continue, "However, she needs to come to my residence first."
Ye Ruoruo was surprised and didn't understand why Lin Rusi would do this. Wouldn't it be better to go to the patient's home for treatment?
Lin Rusi noticed her confusion and chuckled, "It's nothing, I'm just too lazy to walk those few steps. Since you want me to treat you, it would be best if you came to my residence."
Her voice was soft, but her expression carried an undeniable firmness.
Ye Ruoruo was stunned for a moment, and could only agree helplessly.
……
As night fell, she went to the Li residence again to see Lord Li and his wife.
"Sir, I have explained the situation to Miss Lin, and she has agreed, but..."
Upon hearing the word "only," Madam Li's heart trembled, and her face turned terrified. She was afraid that Lin Rusi would ask Li Chun to do something.
"Just what?"
Ye Ruoruo smiled and said, "Miss Lin said that it would be best if Miss Li Chun came to her residence for treatment, since we are the ones who need Miss Lin's help."
"Is it absolutely necessary to see Lin Rusi?" Lord Li looked troubled and stammered, "Would it be acceptable to see someone else?"
Ye Ruoruo shook her head, "Miss Li's problem lies here; the one who tied the knot must untie it."
Madam Li wanted to agree immediately, but seeing that Lord Li remained silent, she asked softly, "Master, why haven't you agreed yet?"
Lord Li sighed and flicked his sleeves.
"Dr. Ye, please wait a moment, let's discuss this."
Ye Ruoruo nodded and said okay.
……
On the other side, Li's mother was getting impatient and hurriedly asked, "Master, what are you doing? Doctor Ye has already found a way. Don't you want to treat Chun'er's illness?"
Father Li shook his head and said sternly, "What do you know? This Lin Rusi has such a big mouth, actually asking us to go to her residence. Isn't that a loss of face?"
“Master, at this point, what’s the point of saving face? You can’t see Chun’er like this. How can we, as her father and mother, not worry?”
Li's father was still hesitant; he was considering not only Li Chun, but the entire Li family.
Madam Li covered her mouth with her handkerchief and sighed, "Master, you don't need to worry about so much now. What is Lin Rusi? Once Chun'er's illness is cured, it will naturally have nothing to do with her."
Li's mother has loved this daughter the most since she was a child. Even at her advanced age, she still cherishes this daughter like a treasure. Seeing her like this now is truly heartbreaking.
Mr. Li paced back and forth for a long time before finally agreeing.
He sent someone to tell Ye Ruoruo that she would go to Lin Rusi's place for treatment the next day.
……
The next day, Li's mother used all her persuasion to trick Li Chun into getting into the sedan chair.
Li Chun was unwilling to go, but she couldn't resist her mother's repeated persuasion: "Chun'er, your father and mother have found someone to cure your illness today. Don't you want to get better soon? Just go and see her."
Seeing her mother's earnest expression, Li Chun trembled slightly, but finally nodded.
They arrived at Lin Rusi's residence without any problems.
While the servants went to report, Li's mother held Li Chun's hand, looking at her with some worry, wondering if this medical treatment would be able to cure her Chun'er.
Li's mother sighed softly and shook her head.
Lin Rusi was somewhat bewildered when she learned that the entire Li family had come.
She asked the servant, "Are you sure it's the entire Li family who have come?"
The attendant nodded and said, "Yes, Miss, Lord Li, Madam Li, and Miss Li Chun have all arrived."
Lin Rusi pondered. She didn't expect Lord Li to come. After all, he was a high-ranking official, and she was a junior. Lin Rusi hadn't expected him to come to her residence.
But that's alright. Since everyone's here, she'll definitely go out to greet them.
Thinking this, she looked at Wanqi and pointed to the clothes over there, "Help me change."
……
Meanwhile, news that Lord Li had taken his daughter to Prince Jinglie's residence for treatment had already spread far and wide.
Lord Li sat in the sedan chair, his face full of anger.
There was a time when he would come to Lin Rusi for help. If word got out, where would he put his face in the imperial court?
If Lin Rusi takes good care of Chun'er today, he can overlook everything!
If he can't see it clearly, then he'll have to argue with her.
When Li's mother saw Lin Rusi walking over from the backyard, she beamed and pointed at her, asking, "Chun'er, look who's that?"
Li Chun looked up, her hands clutching her sleeves. But when she saw Lin Rusi, she shook her head frantically, her face filled with terror, muttering, "How could it be her? I don't want to see her, I don't want to see her."
She shook her head in terror and frantically backed away.
As if Lin Rusi were some kind of monster, her almond-shaped eyes were filled with fear and resistance.
It was as if she would extend her sharp claws and grab her at any moment.
Lin Rusi was taken aback; she hadn't expected Li Chun to be like this.
Based on Ye Ruoruo's description, she only thought the other person was sick and depressed, but who knew that he was in such a crazy state.
She took a few steps when Li Chun shouted, "Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer! I didn't provoke you!"
As she spoke, she clutched her foot and ran around wildly, jumping left and right like a headless fly, just bumping into things without caring about whether she was alive or dead.
Seeing her like this, Li's mother burst into tears, "Dr. Ye, what should we do?"
Wanxia kept a close eye on Li Chun, afraid that she might do something to her young mistress.
Lin Rusi patted her hand, indicating that it was unnecessary.
She's already in this state; people are so afraid of her that they want to stay at least ten meters away, not even daring to get close. How could she possibly do anything?
Looking at her now, one can't help but sigh, "If only she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have done it in the first place."
She never offends others unless they offend her, and it was precisely because those three people had such despicable intentions that she took such drastic measures.
Although Li Chun was at odds with her, he hadn't done anything wrong, and Lin Rusi still had that much tolerance.
