He stroked his goatee again and said in a low voice, “Prepare a ginseng that’s more than 200 years old and boil it thickly. If you give it to him, he should be able to last another day.”
As they spoke, a middle-aged man in a blue shirt and a young man in a royal blue shirt came in one after another.
Old Physician w.a.n.g cupped his hands and bowed. Just as he was about to leave, he was hurriedly interrupted by Madam Hua. “Old Physician w.a.n.g, please stay in the residence for another day… I’m really worried about my son.”
Doctor w.a.n.g thought that it was just a matter of staying for another day, so he agreed.
“Granny Cai, bring Doctor w.a.n.g down to rest,” Madam Hua instructed. She ordered a servant girl to quickly get the ginseng to boil soup.
After Doctor w.a.n.g left, only the three Hua family members were left in the room.
The surroundings were silent for a moment. After making sure that the footsteps outside had gone far, Madam Hua said to the father and son, “There’s time. The betrothal will be sent to the Lu family tomorrow.”
“Okay.” Master Hua heaved a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly. “That’s great.”
Old Madam Hua’s eyes were filled with tears. She wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. “When they’re married, Xi’er won’t be alone in the netherworld.”
“Don’t worry. The Third Miss of the Lu family is compatible with Xi’er’s birth characters. She should become his wife. Xi’er has borrowed her blessings. His health will definitely be smooth in his next life, and he will be safe for the rest of his life.” Old Master Hua comforted his wife gently.
“That’s right, Mother.” The Second Young Master, Hua Zhao, gently stroked his mother’s back, a hint of ruthlessness on his handsome face. “We still have to go to the Lu family to make betrothal gifts tomorrow. Don’t cry and ruin your health.”
Hua Zhao silently exchanged glances with Old Master Hua, and the father and son’s eyes flashed with an abnormally bright light.
Once this Yin marriage was established, not only would it bring prosperity to the Hua family, but it would also bring luck to the Hua family for three generations.
Nothing must go wrong with this marriage!
Madam Hua forced a smile and reminded him tiredly, “Zhao’er, when you go to make the betrothal tomorrow, be careful… Nothing must go wrong.”
“When the time was set yesterday, the Lu family was already a little unhappy. Fortunately, Aunt helped to mediate the situation and finally settle the marriage.”
“Everything will be fine after the betrothal ceremony tomorrow.” Old Master Hua stroked his beard and said, “Our family hasn’t treated the Lu family badly.”
“Yes.” Madam Hua nodded, her eyes turning even redder.
Their family was also very kind. Even if Lu Qin died, they would still marry her into the family and let her be the first wife. She would enter their Lu family’s ancestral grave, ancestral hall, and enjoy the incense of their descendants. They didn’t treat Lu Qin badly at all.
Moreover, the Lu family had also received good news. The vacancy in the Divine Arms Battalion had cost their family a lot of effort.
“Oh no! Oh no!”
An anxious female voice suddenly came from outside the curtain. Right on the heels of that, the curtain was knocked up by someone. A servant girl hurriedly ran in and reported with a pale face, “Eldest Master, Eldest Madam, Eldest Young Master, he… His fever has worsened. Not only are his limbs twitching, but his eyes are also… bleeding!”
Hearing this, Master Hua and his wife could no longer sit still. They got up abruptly and hurried through the curtain into the inner room.
That night, the lights of the Hua family were bright all night. Even when the crow of the rooster at dawn sounded, the lights were still lit.
The weak light gently enveloped the young master on the bed. The young man’s face was sallow, and he was so thin that he was only skin and bones. His eyes were closed, and he was already breathing heavily.
The servant girl poured a bowl of ginseng soup into the unconscious Hua Xi with difficulty. The sickly young man was weak, and his skin was dark. His entire body exuded a dying aura.
Anyone could tell that he was on his last breath.
Madam Hua held her eldest son’s thin hand and said gently, “Xi’er, hold on a little longer. I won’t let you be alone…”
“Everything is ready. Your aunt is here too. Your brother and 1 will go and make the betrothal for you today.”
Her voice was hoa.r.s.e and weak. Tears appeared in her red and swollen eyes again, and her eyes were abnormally bright.
Madam Hua tucked her eldest son in and went to freshen up. When the auspicious time came, she set off from Hua Mansion.
A total of 64 heavy betrothal gifts attracted many curious gazes along the way. It was lively.
When the Hua family’s betrothal gift convoy arrived at Duke Chang’an’s Mansion in the capital, it wasn’t even noon.
This was a joyous occasion for the Duke’s Mansion, so he naturally opened the main door to welcome them..
