Madam Hua looked shocked. She didn’t expect the doctor of this medical center to be such a young lady.
Gu Yunrong walked straight to Madam Hua and asked, “What did you just say was the same?”
Madam Hua thought that since this girl was the owner of this medical center, she must also know medicine. Or perhaps it was because of her family’s family background, and there were elders in the family who knew medicine, so she said truthfully, “Zhao… his illness is exactly the same as his brother’s.”
At the thought of her eldest son, Madam Hua’s body trembled violently, and her breathing quickened. “His brother has the same symptoms. His high fever doesn’t subside, his limbs twitch, and his eyes bleed… The doctor said that his brother won’t live long.”
“His brother has been weak and sickly since he was young, but he has been healthy since he was young. He doesn’t have any illnesses or pain. He was clearly fine early in the morning, but he suddenly had an attack just now…” “How could this be? Why did it have to be the two brothers…”
Tears streamed down the corners of Madam Hua’s eyes again. She was sobbing uncontrollably and inconsolably.
The waiter beside her also heard it and looked at Madam Hua sympathetically. The two brothers in the family had a terminal illness. This couple was too miserable!
“Their symptoms are the same?” Gu Yunrong frowned thoughtfully and asked. She thought to herself: Could it be an infectious disease?
However, if it was an infectious disease, the two brothers wouldn’t be the only ones who were sick.
Madam Hua nodded.
“May I ask if anyone else in the family is sick?” Gu Yunrong asked again.
“Just the two of them… are sick.” Madam Hua’s voice was trembling. Her voice was even hoa.r.s.er, as if it had been sharpened by rough sand and stones.
Gu Yunrong took the mask from the servant girl and put it on. She was about to check on the young man on the couch when she suddenly stepped on something.
She looked down and saw a purple gourd-shaped pouch on the ground.
The drawstring of the purse wasn’t tightened, and a corner of pale yellow paper was revealed from the purse…
This purse looked quite ordinary, but this pale yellow paper looked a little familiar.
Gu Yunrong stopped in her tracks and picked up the pouch. She took out the pale yellow paper. Vermilion runes came into view, and the cinnabar was as bright as blood.
It was obvious that this was a talisman.
In the past, Gu Yunrong wouldn’t have cared about such a talisman at all. However, in the past few months, after experiencing so many things, she has learned to respect it.
Since there was a transmigrator like Emperor Taizu in this world, there could naturally be mysterious academic methods.
“Are these your son’s?” Gu Yunrong asked seriously. Her eyes were as clear as water. “Where did you get them?”
Talisman? Madam Hua and Master Hua were stunned.
Master Hua’s expression was extremely ugly. He said vaguely, “This is from my son’s fiancee, Third AAiss Lu… It’s Third Miss Lu from Duke Chang’an’s Mansion.”
“We were heading home from the Lu family.”
Old Master Hua was deliberately vague about who he was betrothed to.
“How did such a joyous occasion become like this!” Tears streamed down Madam Hua’s face as she choked and covered her face. She was so weak that she looked like she would faint at any moment.
Wasn’t Third Miss Lu Lu Qin? Gu Yunrong subconsciously clenched the talisman in her hand.
She knew that Lu Qin was on good terms with Wei Jiaoniang. Could it be…
Gu Yunrong was actually 70-80% confident. Her eyelashes fluttered as she double-checked. “In other words, your son fell ill not long after he came out of the Lu family?”
Madam Hua endured the pain in her heart and recalled. Her face was as white as snow as she stammered, “When my son came out of the Lu family, he was still fine and could ride a horse… Just now, he suddenly fainted outside and fell off the horse.”
Gu Yunrong’s eyes were a little complicated, and she sighed slightly. “1 roughly know why your son is so ill…”
“Does Third Miss Lu not agree to the marriage?” she asked bluntly.
“…” Madam Hua’s red and swollen eyes widened. Her tragic face turned ugly for a moment, as dark as ink.
Although Lu Qin had a good impression of Hua Zhao when they met at Baiyun Temple that day, she could tell that Lu Qin was unwilling when she set the date. Second Madam Lu had forced Lu Qin to come that day.
To Madam Hua, it didn’t matter if Lu Qin was willing or not. As long as the marriage was successful, it didn’t matter if this girl was willing.
Moreover, it wasn’t up to a young lady to make the call about marriage.
Eldest Madam Hua’s pale lips moved slightly, but she couldn’t say it.
If she nodded, wouldn’t she admit that her eldest son, Hua Xi, was despised by Miss Lu?!
