Zhao Xi’s medical skills were superior, and he was much better than the doctor in the small clinic at Liufang Alley. Moreover, it was so close.
Shu Yu pushed the door open without hesitation.
She tried to push it open but it didn’t budge. It was probably locked inside.
She was afraid of alarming the neighbors, so she did not knock on the door. After looking around, she stepped on the rocks outside and climbed up the wall a few steps. She jumped down from the wall and entered the courtyard.
Who knew that just as her feet landed, a stick was swung at her?
Shu Yu’s body reacted faster than her brain. She immediately squatted down to avoid it and quickly said, “It’s me.”
The rod that was sweeping over once again stopped by a hair’s breadth. Zhao Xi’s surprised voice rang out, “Lady Lu?”
“Doctor Zhao, it’s fine if you’re here now.” Shu Yu heaved a sigh of relief.
Zhao Xi leaned the stick against the wall and was speechless. ‘Lady Lu, what are you doing? In the middle of the night, you came to our house and even climbed over the wall. Do you want to be a thief? I was almost scared to death.’
“I’m here to see you for treatment, Doctor Zhao. We have a baby who is less than a year old. He was frightened during the day and is not feeling well now. It’s very dangerous to vomit and have diarrhea.”
After saying that, Shu Yu came over to pull him.
Zhao Xi immediately took a step back. “Wait, wait, don’t be anxious. I can go with you to save them, but you have to tell me the specific situation first. I have to prepare some things too. Otherwise, I would have to come back to get it later. It was troublesome.’
“Alright then.” Shu Yu calmed herself down and followed him into the house. Then, as he explained Quanquan’s symptoms, she watched Zhao Xi pack up the medicine box.
When he was done, she asked, “Is Young Master Meng not back yet?” She had been here for so long, but she had not seen Meng Yunzheng. Zhao Xi paused for a moment, turned his head, and looked at her meaningfully. He said, “No, I came back alone. I just came back to get some things. You just happened to be here. I’ll be leaving in another hour.” As he spoke, he had already tidied up the medicine bag. “Alright, let’s go.”
Shu Yu nodded, but after taking a few steps, Zhao Xi stopped again. He pointed at himself. “l can’t go to your house like this.” Shu Yu slapped her forehead. “I almost forgot. You’re a fool now.””
Zhao Xi was speechless. You’re the f*cking idiot.
Shu Yu looked around. “Do you have a curtained hat?”
“Yes.” Zhao Xi rummaged through it and found a black curtain hat. He hung it on his head and walked out.
Shu Yu heaved a sigh of relief. With Doctor Zhao around, she could at least rest a.s.sured.
Zhao Xi was cautious. After he went out, he even locked the courtyard.
They rushed to the Lu family’s house. On the way, Zhao Xi asked softly, “l don’t look like the doctor you went to the clinic to find. Will your family suspect me?” He looked more like a thief who broke into the house in the middle of the night.
“Don’t worry, even if my family suspects you, they won’t ask too much, and they won’t lift your curtain hat to see what you look like.” This Shu Yu was right. The Lu family would never ask Shu Yu more questions that she was unwilling to talk about.
Just like how she knew Lord Xiang, the Lu family had never asked.
It was not that they were not curious or concerned, but Shu Yu had kept her mouth shut about everything that happened before he returned to the Lu family, except for the first day..
