The young master of Hua Family and the former imperial prince of the Southern Country, Xiao Rui, were not fully cured yet. So in order for Lin Chujiu to facilitate their treatment, Xiao Tianyao let Su Cha brought the people in Xiao w.a.n.gfu. So that, it can save Lin Chujiu a lot of time.
Today, there were two children she had to check in Xiao w.a.n.gfu, so Lin Chujiu specifically made early rounds. After checking the young master of Hua Family and Xiao Rui, Lin Chujiu went to the hospital.
After a couple of days nursing back the abandoned childrenâs health, they were more spirited, and so the courtyard became busier. The children were cured, but another problem is coming.
These children were abandoned children of the Ci Entang. It was very impossible for Xiao w.a.n.gye to keep taking care of them. Itâs not that he canât afford in raising them, but they feared that the emperor will use this matter to look for trouble for Xiao w.a.n.gye.
It was like a cat is haunting a mouse. But, the mouse doesnât like this kind of noisy event. Xiao Tianyao can manage these children, but how about the other abandoned children in other branches of Ci Entang?
There were hundreds of branch of Ci Entang in the entire East. Who knows how many abandoned children were there? Will Xiao w.a.n.gye also take care of all of them?
Thatâs what the other party will pay attention to. What they want is to falsely accuse Xiao w.a.n.gye of being unfair and made him look a hypocrite. Can Xiao w.a.n.gfu afford to face it?
Xiao w.a.n.gfu does have money, but it was not enough to support all the branches of Ci Entang. They donât have riches that can compare to the treasury of the palace. Xiao w.a.n.gfu will fail to support them.

Seeing that most of the abandoned children were now gradually recovering, the Hospital Keeper also asked: âw.a.n.gfei, how do you plan to settle these children once they fully recovered?â
âWhat did w.a.n.gye said?â Lin Chujiu also had thought about this matter, but she canât think of something.
Some things must be decided by the government and her strength was very limited.
âw.a.n.gye said, this matter is w.a.n.gfeiâs business, so w.a.n.gfei was completely in charge of this matter.â The Hospital Keeper said bitterly.
Of course, he first asked Houskeeper Cao and Xiao w.a.n.gyeâs opinion, before he dared to said those words to Lin Chujiu.
âI am completely in charge?â This incident was obviously something she canât afford to solve alone. So, how can Xiao Tianyao do this?
Lin Chujiu really cannot understand Xiao Tianyao. What does he mean by this? Why does he always push her away, once she thinks Xiao Tianyao likes her?
It was only yesterday that he said she should remember that he was his wife, so why today, he let her responsible alone?
There was a big stone pressing Lin Chujiuâs heart, but she didnât dare to show it on the surface of her face. She only nodded her head to the hospital keeper and said that she was informed.
Lin Chujiu sat in the main hall for a long time. She couldnât understand Xiao Tianyao. She felt like she needs to have a good talk with him.
There were other doctors in the hospital. Basically, Lin Chujiu doesnât need to do everything. So, she decided to go back and look for Xiao Tianyao to talk about this matter clearly. Even if she canât understand this situation, she wanted to understand his att.i.tude towards her. She doesnât want to end up in an extremely difficult situation just like the last time and get badly injured.
Lin Chujiu called the Hospital Keeper and let him prepared a carriage, but when she was about to get in, a maidservant suddenly ran towards her and shouted from afar: âYoung Miss, young miss⦠⦠I am a maidservant under Meng Family.â
From afar, the maidservant, who shouted was being stopped by Xiao w.a.n.gfuâs guardsmen. However, even after she said those words, she was not released by them. The guardsmen still waited for Lin Chujiuâs order.
Lin Chujiu stopped and turned around, then said: âYou are a maidservant under Meng Family? Whatâs wrong?â
The maidservant kowtowed in the ground and eagerly said: âYoung miss, Meng Laofuren fell ill. This slave went to Xiao w.a.n.gfu, I heard that young miss is here, and so this slave came.â
âIs my grandmother sick?â Lin Chujiuâs facial expression changed. She then asked nervously: âWhat happened?â
âThis slave doesnât know. I only know that the old lady suddenly fainted, and then half of her body couldnât move.â The maidservant ran all the way, so she was panting.
Lin Chujiu turned to the coachman and said: âLetâs go to the Guo Gongfu.â
Because of Meng Laofurenâs condition, Lin Chujiu couldnât help but urged the coachman to hurry. The coachman was rushed by Lin Chujiu, so his whip continued smas.h.i.+ng the horse. After a quarter of an hour, they arrived in Guo Gongfu.
When the carriage stopped, Lin Chujiu grabbed the footstool that guard next to her was holding and jumped down. Then, she rushed away.
w.a.n.gfei, why do you act so boorish? Donât you fear w.a.n.gye might abandon you?
* Bang, bang, bang*
The Xiao w.a.n.gfuâs guardsmen knocked on the gate. When the Meng Familyâs people, who had been waiting for Lin Chujiu heard a self-made introduction and knocking sound, they immediately opened the gate.
When the gate was opened, Lin Chujiu just took a step inside, but said: âTake me to see my grandmother.â
Lin Chujiuâs feet didnât stop, she walked in a hurry all the way to Meng Laofurenâs courtyard. The Meng three masters and furens had all been waiting in the hall, so when they saw Lin Chujiu coming in, their eyes lit up, as if they saw a big savior. They didnât wait any longer and just hurried came forward, then said: âChujiu, hurry, mother has been waiting for you.â
âYes, uncle.â Lin Chujiu also refused to pay respect and just run towards the room.
Inside, the room was filled with medicinal scents. Besides the old lady, there was an old mama. Seeing Lin Chujiu coming in, the old mama greeted Lin Chujiu immediately: âYoung miss, the old lady has been waiting for you.â
âGrandma, whatâs wrong?â Lin Chujiu stepped forward and half knelt in front of Meng Laofuren. The next moment, the medical system diagnosis came out: Half Stroke
Half stroke, the patient will be hopeless, but will not die.
âGrandmotherâ¦â Lin Chujiuâs tears flowed out.
How could this happen? How did Meng Laofuren suddenly had a stroke? The last time they met, she was still very healthy⦠â¦
âChuâ¦jiuâ¦â Meng Laofurenâs half body couldnât move. Only half of her mouth could also move, so she couldnât spit out a complete word. And every time she will open her mouth, her saliva continued flowing out.
âGrandmother, I am here, I am here. You can rest a.s.sured, I will cure you. â The first time Lin Chujiu felt warm in this era, it was with this old lady.
This old lady gave her the most selfless and unconditional love, so she couldnât bear to take advantage of her and made calculations. Seeing the old lady lying in bed like this, Lin Chujiu was really sad.
âMy medicine box, I am going to get my medicine box. Grandmother just waits for me here.â Lin Chujiu released Meng Laofurenâs hand and was about to went outside, but Meng Laofuren refused to let her go.
âAhâ¦ahâ¦â Meng Laofuren opened her mouth, but she couldnât spit a single word. So, she looked at the old mamaâs eyes.
The old mama was Meng Laofurenâs closes confidant. She can understand the old lady just by looking at her eyes. So, she nodded her head and turn towards the dressing table. Inside, she took out a box.
Meng Laofuren blinked her eyes and the old mama handed the box to Lin Chujiu: âYoung miss, this is what the eldest miss left for you. It is a very important thing. The old lady wanted to give this to you a hundred years later, but she suddenly became ill today. Sheâs afraid, she couldnât stand her disease, so she was so anxious to give it to you.â
âMy mother left me something?â Lin Chujiu was very surprised, but this surprise was accompanied by uneasiness.
What could be this thing that the old lady wanted to hand it over after a century later?
