Chapter 191 Aren't you being a little too cruel?
Ye Shiting got up and gave her a junior's bow.
Although Ye Shijun got up, he did so in a nonchalant manner, with no proper posture and a roguish grin that practically screamed, "I'm just here for the fun."
"Madam Wei, we heard that Lord Wei is ill, and quite seriously so. It has not only alarmed our Prince brother-in-law, but he has also invited Dr. Lu from the Imperial Medical Academy on Lord Wei's behalf. Has Dr. Lu arrived yet? How is Lord Wei's condition? What exactly is wrong with him?"
Not to mention his string of questions, just the way he squinted and winked while asking them made Madam Ge want to slap him a few times!
The thought of Hua Xin marrying this bastard made her grit her teeth and force herself to suppress her anger!
"Shijun, when your aunt went to the General's Mansion to see Doctor Hua, your father said that you were going to marry Doctor Hua. Is that true?"
"Yes, it's true. The Emperor himself bestowed the marriage upon us, and our Prince brother-in-law helped us propose it!" Ye Shijun proudly raised his chin.
"Congratulations!" Madam Ge's smile widened, and her tone became even more amiable. "You brothers were raised by your aunt. Back when your mother was alive, your aunt even considered adopting you brothers as her godsons. Although it didn't work out in the end, in your aunt's heart, you were already considered her own. Now that you, Shijun, have such good news, your aunt, as an elder, is very happy for you. But your aunt hasn't met Doctor Hua yet. When will you bring her to visit your aunt? Your mother and I were sworn brothers. If your aunt could get closer to Doctor Hua, it would be a way to comfort your mother in the afterlife."
“I appreciate Madam Wei’s kindness. But my Xin’er is timid and shy, especially after visiting the Prime Minister’s residence last time. She is afraid to visit other people’s homes for fear of being plotted against or framed again.”
Madam Ge retorted, "Our Wei family has a very close relationship with the Ye family, unlike the Prime Minister's family!"
Ye Shijun immediately changed the subject, "By the way, Madam Wei, you haven't told us about Lord Wei's illness yet. Is it serious?"
Ge's eyes flickered, and a look of sorrow suddenly appeared on her face. "It is quite serious. Even Imperial Physician Lu couldn't cure it completely. Shi Jun, I've heard that Physician Hua's medical skills are superb. Could you ask her to come and take a look at your Uncle Wei?"
"We don't even know what illness Lord Wei has, how can we just treat him like this? Madam Wei, you think too highly of my Xin'er, haha!"
What Ge Shi least wanted was for these people to know the inside story, but unfortunately, that Doctor Hua was in cahoots with them. If she cared about her reputation, then Wei Guangzheng's life would be ruined.
In the latter half of her life, she not only had to live as a widow, but also had to deal with Wei Guangzheng's venereal disease. This must have been even more agonizing than losing her husband.
After weighing the pros and cons, she understood that she could no longer care about saving face!
"Shi Ting, Shi Jun, it's not that your aunt wants to hide it from you, it's just that your Uncle Wei's illness is too embarrassing to talk about. It just so happens that Imperial Physician Lu is treating your Uncle Wei in his room. If you're not afraid, I'll take you to see him."
Upon hearing this, Ye Shijun raised an eyebrow at Ye Shiting.
The two brothers then followed Ge to Wei Guangzheng's courtyard.
"Young Master Ye, Second Young Master Ye, you've arrived?" Lu Changqing greeted them warmly upon seeing them.
The two brothers bowed simultaneously in the manner of juniors, saying, "Greetings, Imperial Physician Lu."
Seeing Ye Shijun's unusually upright and polite demeanor, Madam Ge's face darkened.
But the two brothers didn't even glance at her, and didn't care what she was thinking. They asked Lu Changqing about Wei Guangzheng's condition as if no one else was around.
When Lu Changqing described the symptoms, Ye Shijun made an exaggerated gesture. Before long, he ran to the bedside, pulled back the covers from Wei Guangzheng, and clicked his tongue, saying, "They say lust is a knife above one's head. Lord Wei's condition is worse than being cut into a thousand pieces! Madam Wei is even worse off. Facing a Lord Wei like this for the rest of her life, isn't that just a clear sign that she'll be living a life of widowhood?"
Ge's face was even more ashen than if she had been poisoned; she was just short of vomiting a mouthful of blood on the spot!
But in the end, her reason prevailed, and she forced herself to smile and beg him, "Shijun, you've seen your Uncle Wei's condition. You don't want your aunt to spend the rest of her life as a widow, right? Then could you please ask Doctor Hua to come and treat your Uncle Wei? Don't worry, as long as he's cured, whatever you want, as long as my Wei family can give it to you, we will definitely offer it to you with both hands!"
Hearing what she said next, Ye Shijun curled his lips in a mocking smile.
However, he didn't care about such false promises. He came simply to watch the excitement and broaden his horizons.
“Alas! Madam Wei, it’s not that I don’t want my Xin’er to come, it’s just that you don’t understand the rules of Hua Xiang Pavilion… Besides, my Xin’er isn’t good at treating people, she’s good at detoxification. Lord Wei has a real illness, it has nothing to do with poison, so even if my Xin’er came, she wouldn’t be able to help.”
“She can’t be cured, but she has senior and junior brothers. There are so many disciples in Huaxiang Pavilion, surely someone can cure her, right?” Madam Ge said urgently.
Ye Shijun's lips curled into a sly smile as he looked at her meaningfully. "Madam Wei knows quite a lot about Huaxiang Pavilion, even more than I do. Since Madam Wei knows so much about Huaxiang Pavilion, she must have already been in contact with people from Huaxiang Pavilion. Why don't you go to Huaxiang Pavilion yourself to ask for their help?"
Madam Ge felt a pang of guilt, then gave a dry laugh, "How could I, a woman confined to the inner quarters, possibly have any contact with the people of Huaxiang Pavilion? All that I know is from what other doctors have told me."
Ye Shijun shrugged. "Madam Wei, I'm really sorry, I can't help you."
Seeing his refusal, Madam Ge's face began to darken. "My husband is your elder. Are you really going to stand by and watch him die?"
Ye Shijun raised his thumb and pointed to himself, looking completely innocent. "I don't know any medicine. What am I supposed to save? I just came to check on Lord Wei's condition out of curiosity. Does taking a look mean I have to save him?"
"But Huaxin will soon be your wife..."
"Stop!" Before Madam Ge could finish speaking, Ye Shijun interrupted her righteously, "Madam Wei, you know I married a wife. My wife will only serve me after she enters the family. Putting aside whether my wife can cure diseases, have you ever seen a wife who goes to see another man's body? My wife hasn't even entered the family yet, and you want to drown her in a pig cage? Your heart is too cruel!"
