Chapter 232 The Trick of Qi Rongzhi
“The Second Miss is here. What’s the matter?” the old maid who could hardly stand still said with great shock.
“Madam Dowager asks Second Miss to come to her place right away. Young Lady Qi has fainted down.” The girl servant gasped for breath and wiped a handful of sweat.
The old maid dared not delay and hurriedly made room for the girl servant to enter the door.
“Qi Rongzhi has fainted down? When did she come here?” Qin Wanru asked in surprise as she demanded Yujie to pull up her hair, which had not yet been all dry.
This time when she climbed the mountain she didn’t take Qi Rongzhi. How could she faint down in the place of her grandma at this moment? Qin Wanru could make sure that this morning she did not hear anything about Qi Rongzhi. So her grandma shouldn’t know that she had gone to Huaguang Temple.
“Just now, Young Lady Qi arrived at Huaguang Temple and said she had something to talk to Madam Dowager. But before she said a few words, she suddenly fainted down. Madam Dowager asked you to go and have a look.” The girl servant had run in a hurry and was still gasping for breath.
Qi Rongzhi went to see grandma without any reason and fainted down? What did Qi Rongzhi want to do? There was a blast of gloomy and serenity in the depth of her eyes. She didn’t think that Qi Rongzhi had nothing to do to climb up to the mountain.
Who approved her of leaving Ningyuan Army General’s Mansion suddenly?
“You go back first and tell grandma I will arrive soon!” After a short pause, Qin Wanru took back some of her thoughts and commanded.
“Yes, Second Miss, I will report to Madam Dowager right now so that she will not feel worried.” The girl servant nodded her head and retreated as she was ordered and left in a hurry.
Yujie helped Qin Wanru stir up her beautiful hair and asked in suspect, “Miss, what did Young Lady Qi want to do again? I think she must pretend to faint down!”
Her words made Qin Wanru laugh. Qin Wanru raised up her enchanting and pretty eyes. “You also think so?”
“Yes, I also think so. That Young Lady Qi wouldn’t faint down without any reason. I looked at her complexion before, which was always very good and she was not so delicately built as to be unable to stand any breeze. When we were in Jiangzhou, I always heard from others that this Young Lady Qi was very proud and rude. Sometimes she even beat servants in public. So she is quite strange to be so weak now!”
The notorious reputation of Qi Rongzhi in Jiangzhou was really very famous and even Yujie knew it when she was at such a remoted place like Jingxin Monastery. Especially when later Qi Rongzhi created many disturbances with Qin Yuru and she wanted to do something to hurt Qin Wanru in Jingxin Monastery, her behaviors were known to every household in Jiangzhou.
“Now that she has come here, let us go to see her.” Qin Wanru smiled and looked out of the window and said, “Take things as they come.” It seemed that Qi Rongzhi also wanted to stay in Huaguang Temple.
When Qin Wanru arrived at the incense room of Madam Dowager, Qi Rongzhi had woken up and was lying in the side room of the yard to rest. When Qin Wanru entered into the wing, Madam Dowager asked Nanny Duan to lead her to the side room in order to see the health of Qi Rongzhi.
Sitting in the chair in front of the bed, Qin Wanru reached out her hands to feel the pulse of Qi Rongzhi.
Qin Wanru took a look at the face of Qi Rongzhi, who seemed to be a little nervous. Qi Rongzhi had not thought that Qin Wanru would come to feel the pulse for her.
“The right hand,” after feeling the pulse of her left hand, Qin Wanru put down her left hand and said coldly.
“Qin Wanru, do you know how to feel the pulse? What could you feel from my pulse?” Qi Rongzhi was unwilling to be felt by Qin Wanru and pleaded her, “Could you help me call a doctor here? I will pay the money by myself.”
“You’re sick.” Qin Wanru raised up her eyes and saw Qi Rongzhi clearly. Her beautiful eyes seemed to be able to see the hearts of the people.
“I, I am not sick.” After seeing Qin Wanru’s action of feeling the pulse, Qi Rongzhi had less strength than before. But she soon thought that Qin Wanru was just a mere form. After all, when she was in Jiangzhou, she had never heard that Qin Wanru had the ability to treat patients. And maybe only her behaviors seemed to be like a doctor. So she covered her head with her hands and said smoothly, “But I feel fainted.”
Yujie wanted to say something but Qin Wanru waved her hands to stop her. “You feel fainted but you climb up to the mountain?” Qin Wanru said lightly.
“I remembered my mother had made a wish to bless that I could enter into the capital city safely in Jiangzhou before. And she enjoined me to find a big temple in order to redeem the vow to the god when I entered into the capital city. So I reported this business to Madam Di specially and Madam Di said that Madam Dowager and Madam Shui happened to be on the mountain so she let me come here. But I had never thought that I would faint down after walking a part of Wenxin Road. ”
Qi Rongzhi lowered her head and drew back her hands.
She had asked Madam Di? Madam Di herself now was so bruised and battered that she didn’t have any energy to care about Qi Rongzhi. Letting alone that Qi Rongzhi wanted to redeem the vow to the god up to the mountain, even if she said that she would go back to Jiangzhou, Madam Di wouldn’t care much about it.
Ning Caixian had died but dead people deserved respect. The reputation of Di Yan had become so notorious, because of which Qin Yuru had also been the representative of virago and owned bad reputation too. Adding that Di Yan and Countess Yong were hard to deal with now, things became quite in a mess.
“Considering your health now, there was no good doctor in the mountain. I would ask grandma to send you down the mountain. At least there were good doctors.” Qin Wanru stood up and was inclined to go out in order to report to Madam Dowager.
Qi Rongzhi rushed to Qin Wanru and held her hands suddenly. “Qin Wanru, I don’t want to go downhill and I must redeem the vow to the god firstly. Although I am in bad health, I should do that, otherwise the god will blame me.”
“You wanted to stay in the mountain with sick your body. But what if you faint down again?” Qin Wanru stood still and took a look at Qi Rongzhi’s face lightly.
“It will never happen. I would not faint down again. There are so many pilgrims. Please help me ask whether there is anyone who knows some medical skills. Just help me find someone,” Qi Rongzhi said quickly.
“Someone who knows medical skills?” Qin Wanru frowned and took a glimpse at Qi Rongzhi’s anxious face. “it is impossible to find someone who knows medical skills in the mountain!”
“There are so many pilgrims. Why couldn’t you find someone who knows medical skills? Since I don’t have a serious illness, if you could not find one, I can endure it. It isn’t a big matter,” Qi Rongzhi said in a wronged way.
She was the guest of Qin’s Mansion and also found Madam Dowager in the mountain. If she really had accidents in Huaguang Temple, Madam Dowager and Shui Ruolan would be blamed.
“I am the person who knows medical skills,” Qin Wanru said, keeping her countenance. Then she sat firmly on the chair again and stared at the face of Qi Rongzhi sharply. She wanted to see what Qi Rongzhi would like to do.
“You know medical skills? Just forget it. If I let you treat my illness, I am afraid that I will die. I don’t want you to treat me. You should find a doctor for me.” Qi Rongzhi leaned on the bed unwillingly and touched her head with her hands, showing her sickness and weakness. “Qin Wanru, if you are unwilling to do that, I will plead Madam Dowager to find a doctor for me.”
“Who do you want to find?” asked Qin Wanru with her long eyelashes batting.
“Find one who knows medical skills!” Qi Rongzhi said anxiously.
“I could only find the person downhill!” Qin Wanru refused her decidedly.
Qi Rongzhi was anxious, and her eyes immediately smashed round. “But I have to redeem the vow to the god, so I can’t go downhill now.”
“I can’t find anyone with good medical skills. There are so many pilgrims in the mountain. You wouldn’t want me to ask for you one by one?” Qin Wanru taunted with the corner of her mouth raised.
Even if the two people pretended to be peaceful and harmonious outside, they were actually just pretending, and no one would really take it seriously.
“I don’t know how to find one, but I want to ask the Huaguang Temple’s monks. Is it OK? Qin Wanru, I beg you. I am really afraid that something bad would happen to me, but I can’t go downhill.” Qi Rongzhi put on a pitiful look. She looked at Qin Wanru humbly.
“Monks?” Qin Wanru raised her eyebrows.
“Yes, monks. We should certainly ask the monks in the temple to know something about Huaguang Temple,” Qi Rongzhi said hurriedly as she saw that Qin Wanru had been tricked.
Qin Wanru did not say anything this time, only fixedly looking at Qi Rongzhi. Her lips and eyes were smiling, but inexplicably made people feel cold.
Qi Rongzhi was panicked by her eyes. She looked around and seemed very guilty.
“Why don’t you ask your girl servants to find for you since you have taken two girl servants uphill?” The two girl servants Chun Yi and Chun Xi were just standing in front of her bed to serve her.
“What could the two girl servants understand? It is not suitable to let girl servants show up. At least the master should show up. But I am sick, otherwise I could find the monks in Huaguang Temple by myself to ask whether there is someone who knows medical skills!” Qi Rongzhi made an ambiguous statement which sounded quite reasonable. She was so slippery!
“I can ask for you!” Qin Wanru thought and said slowly and lowly, looking at Qi Rongzhi. The color of her eyes was slightly brightened, and her long eyelashes flicked twice.
Finally, Qin Wanru was moved. Qi Rongzhi was overjoyed to say something. But next her face was stiff. “But you have to talk about what do you want to do?”
“I, I don’t want to do anything. I really want to redeem the vow to the god.” Qi Rongzhi swallowed her saliva and felt nowhere to hide herself under the gaze of Qin Wanru’s clean eyes. But she gritted her teeth and looked straightly at Qin Wanru’s eyes. She said angrily, “What do you mean, Qin Wanru? Just say that you don’t want to help me. Your Qin’s Mansion used to say that you would take care of me, but you are even unwilling to help me find a good doctor now!”
After saying that she picked up the scorpion and wiped her tears. She was crying!
After seeing her pretension, Qin Wanru had known something. The thing that Qi Rongzhi conspired was related to medical skills or doctors.
“Qi Rongzhi, how about talking about why Qin Yuru would motivate to hurt a child when you were at Duke Xing’s Mansion? If you don’t tell me that, you shouldn’t expect that I will help you. I will tell grandma that you are in good health and pretend to be ill!”
Qin Wanru smiled slightly, stood up, and showed that she would leave without an agreement.
She was still very confused about what happened on that day at Duke Xing’s Mansion but she believed that it would be a key point. Now that Qi Rongzhi had given the topic to her, why didn’t she grasp the chance…
“What, what did you say?” Qi Rongzhi became speechless because she really didn’t expect that Qin Wanru would ask this thing at this time.
“If you didn’t understand it, just forget it!” Qin Wanru planned to go out, and Yujie went to the door first.
“Wait a minute, I tell you!”
Qin Wanru stopped slightly and slowly turned back…
