Chapter 619: Little Zi, Please Help Stop My Son From Bleeding Out
Doctor He took a deep breath and controlled his emotions to stop himself from getting angry. “First Madam, the Eldest Young Master’s situation is special. I…”
“Shut up. You’re a quack and that’s it.”
Doctor He really shut his mouth and went over to Zi Yi with a solemn expression. He looked at how Zi Yi controlled the parasite within Patriarch Lu.
The Third Madam shifted her gaze to Zi Yi and the group.
When the First Madam saw that everyone was ignoring her son, she cried even harder.
Not long later, Yang Yuelan and Eldest Master Lu quickly came back from the entrance.
At the sight of Lu Zhiheng about to bleed dry from his nosebleed, the Eldest Master Lu got a fright and he quickly walked over to ask, “What happened?”
He looked at the First Madam who was sobbing and was unable to give him a reply. After that, he turned to Doctor He.
Doctor He told him what he had said earlier.
Eldest Master Lu’s heart tightened. He felt that his throat was stuck and a few seconds later, he struggled to ask, “If we send Zhiheng to the hospital, would it be in time?”
The First Madam could not bear to hear that right now. As soon as the Eldest Master Lu asked that question, she shouted, “It will be! How could it not be in time?!”
“You, shut up!”
Eldest Master Lu wished that he could slap this woman to death right now. Can’t she just give him some peace?
Doctor He was silent for a few seconds before he answered, “I can’t make any promises.”
His words caused Eldest Master Lu, the First Madam, and Yang Yuelan to tremble.
The First Madam could not take this fact and her eyes rolled back; she almost fainted.
Eldest Master Lu continued to ask, “Little Zi, can you stop Zhiheng’s bleeding?”
“Yes,” Zi Yi answered very simply and casually.
The three of their gazes brightened up at the same time.
Zi Yi continued to speak. “But I don’t wish to.”
“You-”
The First Madam was so anxious that she was about to curse her.
In the next second, the Eldest Master Lu gave her a tight slap.
PA!
“Can’t you just keep your mouth shut?”
The First Madam fell to one side from the slap. She was frightened and instantly became silent.
Eldest Master Lu walked over to Zi Yi and said sincerely, “Little Zi, please help to stop my son’s bleeding.”
Speaking of this, his eyes were about to turn red.
It was due to worry.
Zi Yi looked into his eyes and said with an indifferent expression, “I’m not a saint, and I am unable to write off what you have all done to me and Ah Jing previously.”
Eldest Master Lu’s expression changed.
Zi Yi sneered and said, “But I am a doctor. My teacher said that no matter what hatred there is between me and the patient, I have to save them if I see them… At the very least, I have to ensure that they are unable to die, so that I can take care of them in the future.”
Eldest Master Lu’s expression changed several times. He felt stifled deep down, but for the sake of his son, he could only endure it.
He said, “Then I’ll have to trouble you.”
Zi Yi responded with a nod. She took out a silver needle and swiftly moved. When everyone had yet to react in time, she said, “It’s done, you can send him to the hospital.”
“You-”
“Ah! Zhiheng’s nosebleed has stopped.”
Yang Yuelan’s cry of surprise stopped Eldest Master Lu who was about to explode in anger.
He suddenly turned around to take a look. Sure enough, Lu Zhiheng’s nosebleed had stopped.
The First Madam was ecstatic, but at the thought of how Zi Yi could easily stop her son’s bleeding and yet, refused to do so, her heart was consumed in anger.
Just as she was about to glare at Zi Yi, she was met with Lu Jingye’s sharp eyes.
Lu Jingye said, “Since Yiyi can stop his bleeding, she can also cause him to continue to bleed. She said it earlier. She can’t stand the sight of you and you had better bring him away. Don’t make her change her mind.”
Eldest Master Lu felt upset at his nephew’s unkind words, but he did not say anything and quickly made his way over to Lu Zhiheng. He said to Yang Yuelan, “Help Zhiheng onto my back. I’ll carry him out.”
Yang Yuelan followed his instructions and helped Lu Zhiheng onto his back.
Soon, the group of them left.
After they left, Lu Jingye saw that Zi Yi was more or less done and he said, “Yiyi, Stay here and look after Grandfather. I’ll go help my Father.”
Zi Yi nodded her head and said, “Be careful. Bring the shield I gave you, don’t let them have a chance to plant a parasite on you.”
“Okay.”
Lu Jingye soon made his way out.
Only Zi Yi, the Third Madam, and Doctor He remained in Patriarch Lu’s room.
Looking at the unconscious Patriarch Lu, the Third Madam asked in worry, “Little Zi, are you able to treat the parasite in Father?”
“I am unable to do so for the time being.”
Even if she was to remove the parasite, there should be an order of closeness of kin. She had to treat her cousin first.
The Third Madam was silent for a few seconds and she got even more worried. “I wonder if it is the housekeeper who planted the parasite. If he was really the culprit, would he remove the parasite from Father if we capture him?”
Zi Yi pondered for a moment. She felt that it was not a mere trifling that the housekeeper had managed to lurk in the Lu Family for such a long time and fool everyone, and not reveal the slightest flaw. If her guess is right, the housekeeper should not be the Gu Master.
At the thought of this, Zi Yi asked, “Third Madam, can you tell me what kind of person the housekeeper is?”
“Little Zi, you are Jingye’s wife and you can call me Third Aunt together with Jingye.”
Even though she liked peace and quiet and she did not wish to question anything, she was well aware that Zi Yi was the savior of her husband.
“The housekeeper had already been here since I married Jianjun. I heard that when his family was destroyed back then, it was Father who helped him take revenge. Therefore, he had been the most loyal to Father.”
Speaking of this, the Third Madam revealed doubt on her face. “To be honest, when I heard that the housekeeper had disappeared, I didn’t believe he was the culprit at all. I feel that it is possible for any of the helpers to harm Father, but only the housekeeper…” She shook her head. “I really don’t believe that he would harm Father.”
Zi Yi fell into deep thought.
Sometime later, she asked, “Did the housekeeper act any differently in the past year?”
The Third Madam shook her head. “I did not have much contact with him. However, Big Brother’s family does have frequent contact with him.”
Zi Yi was about to continue asking, when she heard the sound of approaching footsteps coming from the door.
As soon as the three of them turned around, they saw Lu Jingye standing there.
“Ah Jing, have you captured the housekeeper?”
Lu Jingye’s expression seemed a little solemn. “We captured him, but he hid poison in his mouth and has committed suicide.”
“Then what should we do?” The Third Madam got anxious. “If the housekeeper is the one who planted the parasite, then how should we remove the parasite from Father?”
Lu Jingye glanced at Patriarch Lu who was lying there. His expression became even more serious.
Zi Yi walked to his side and asked, “Where’s the body? Bring me to take a look.”
Lu Jingye looked at her and nodded. He then turned around and led her outside.
The Third Madam hastily stopped them. “Jingye, Little Zi, what about here?”
“Third Aunt and Doctor He can look after Grandfather first. We’ll be back soon.”
The Third Madam nodded her head in response.
