Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Chapter 120 Madam, I'm Scared

Yu Ziru was immersed in reading the Medical Classics and was so excited that he didn't hear Daiyu's response. Then he noticed that Daiyu was smiling with an inexplicable look on her face.

He immediately reacted, patted his mouth, and explained: "I am talking about the contents of the Pharmacopoeia, purely discussing the compatibility of drugs."

"I didn't think of anything else." Daiyu covered her mouth and smiled with a hint of ill intention, "The ginseng in there just lost its medicinal effect, but it didn't rot. Is that what you mean?"

"Yes, yes!" Yu Zilu nodded hurriedly and almost swears to prove his judgment.

Daiyu thought for a moment and continued to ask, "What would happen if a weak person took it?"

Yu Zilu frowned. "It's hard to say. It depends on how weak the patient is and whether he has other symptoms."

"What if the patient has fetal toxins in his body, is born with deficiencies, and suffers from constant depression of emotions?" Daiyu inquired further.

"This is a difficult problem!" Yu Zilu began to search through the relevant medical records he had read before in his mind and felt that this case was quite tricky.

But out of his instinct as a doctor, he was a little worried: "This patient's condition is so complicated. Do you know her? You should persuade her well. It's better to treat her as soon as possible!"

Daiyu made up a friend out of nothing: "I'm asking this on behalf of a friend."

"Is this friend in Shenjing City? Would it be convenient for me to take her pulse?"

"She has already left Shenjing City."

After hearing this, Yu Zilu realized that Daiyu was just trying to please him, and he felt a little bored. Out of politeness, he casually asked, "Then... do you need me to feel your pulse?"

"can."

As Daiyu finished speaking, Luluo quickly stepped forward, rolled up her sleeves, and covered her wrist with a silk handkerchief.

Yu Zilu sat opposite Daiyu, closed his eyes and began to feel her pulse. After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes and stared at Daiyu opposite him.

He had checked the pulse of almost everyone in the mansion, and according to the results of the inspection, the patient with both qi and blood deficiency mentioned by Daiyu was most likely herself. However, Yu Ziru spent an incense stick of time carefully checking the pulse, but found nothing wrong.

"The girl is in very good health." Yu Zilu said with a hint of regret. How could he have mistaken Daiyu for the patient? He must have been confused by her figure!

He withdrew his hand and stood up. Before leaving the inner courtyard, she thought about it and said something: "If the girl's friend is just weak, taking this medicine is useless and may not have much impact; but if there is fetal toxin in the body and she has been depressed for many years, I am afraid she is just struggling and may die before adulthood."

After Yu Ziru finished speaking, he left, leaving only Daiyu and Luluo, the master and servant, in the main room.

Luluo saw that Daiyu's expression was a little solemn. She had heard Xueyan talk about Daiyu's physical condition before: If she hadn't seen a doctor on the way to Beijing and got some tonic medicine, Daiyu's health might have been worse.

"Girl, don't listen to his nonsense. He said before that you were in good health!" Luluo spoke, trying to comfort Daiyu.

Daiyu felt Luluo's concern and smiled faintly, trying to make her expression look more relaxed: "Yes, I know. We cleaned up in a hurry today and everyone is tired. You should go and have a rest. I don't need anyone to keep watch at night."

Seeing that Luluo was still standing there, Daiyu patted her butt again and urged her, "Go!"

Luoluo's body stiffened, her face turned slightly red, and she turned and left the main room.

In the next two days, Daiyu, like an ordinary little girl of that era, cut window flowers, wrote couplets and decorated the house under the guidance of three maids.

She never mentioned the Jia family again, nor did she go to the martial arts arena again.

Except for the maid who was on duty at Jia's house that day, the other seven maids gathered together to discuss who should persuade Daiyu. But before they could come to a conclusion, they were stopped by Nanny Gu.

Ever since Daiyu met Yu Zilu that day, her expression became a little strange. Not only Luluo who was present, but also Yu Zilu was called into the inner courtyard and questioned carefully.

If Nanny Wang had not known Daiyu's physical condition when she went to the capital, they would probably have misunderstood that Daiyu was feeling heavy-hearted because of that "friend".

Finally, Grandma Gu made the final decision: "I'll go ask the girl."

Carrying the hopes of "the whole village", she knocked on Daiyu's door.

Before, they had wanted to stay with Daiyu, but were always sent away by her. This time, Gu Ma was determined not to let Daiyu send her away without asking for the whole story.

Nanny Gu lifted the door curtain. There was no candle lit in the room. The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window paper, making the room look a little hazy. She could not see clearly.

She looked around, trying to find Daiyu. At this moment, Gu Mama heard Daiyu's faint voice coming from the inner room: "Mama, is there something wrong?"

Nanny Gu's heart almost skipped a beat. She walked towards the direction of the sound and saw Daiyu lying on the bed neatly dressed. Her small face, as white as jade, was particularly eye-catching in the dim room.

Nanny Gu walked up to Daiyu, sat down beside her, held her hand and asked, "Miss, what's wrong with you these past two days? You've been acting strange since Yu Ziru came."

At the same time, Gu Mama placed one finger on Daiyu's wrist, feeling her pulse. This was a move she learned in the palace. Of course, this move was only effective when the other party was not prepared.

"Mammy, I'm really fine." Although Daiyu said this, her slightly accelerated heartbeat betrayed her.

Nanny Gu gently pushed Daiyu to the inside of the bed, took off her embroidered shoes, lay down beside her, and held her in her arms.

Daiyu felt the warmth in Nanny Gu's arms, and her eyes became hot and she began to sob softly.

Although Daiyu has been in many competitions, she has never had a life on her hands. It's nothing like coming here, where every single match is a matter of life and death!

"Mammy, I'm scared!" Daiyu finally revealed her fear. She was afraid of this society that was indifferent to life.

Seeing that Daiyu finally opened her heart, Nanny Gu also breathed a sigh of relief.

She hugged Daiyu, gently stroked her back, and comforted her: "This world is difficult, and it is even more difficult to maintain your original intention. Our girl is already very brave. Look at the Jia Mansion, those mean servants dare not talk about the girl!"

Daiyu raised her head with a trace of astonishment on her face: "Mammy, please stop coaxing me. I don't know what they will say about me behind my back!"

Nanny Gu no longer saw the same world-weary expression on Daiyu's face. She knew that she was no longer obsessed with trivial matters, so she changed the subject and asked, "Do you know why Nanny Liao has become like this?"
