Chapter 47
After speaking, G.o.dly Physician Liao fled outside without delay, fearing that if he didn"t leave now, he wouldn’t be able to have a chance to. After all, once the young master died, he would be put to death immediately!
"Ah! G.o.dly Physician Liao, G.o.dly Physician Liao!” Steward He never antic.i.p.ated that the G.o.dly physician their Chief Owner spent a large sum of money to hire would fail to live up to expectations like this. He actually ran away without even trying to treat the patient!
However, he also understood why G.o.dly Physician Liao would flee like that. The young master’s condition was so grave that even he, who wasn’t a physician, could tell that the young master was already dying.
It was no wonder he heard that the Marchioness, without missing a year, would climb up the mountain on her knees and kowtow step by step everyday, praying for the Bodhisattva to bless his youngest son.
His situation was indeed already beyond human ability...
Steward He also went out and chased the G.o.dly physician.
The little medicine boy was also quick to slip away with his master that Steward He did not even manage to catch a corner of his clothes.
When Second Owner saw the three people rushing out in haste, he had a vague guess in his heart. Seeing Gu Jiao get up and about to go in, he suddenly spoke to stop her, "I suddenly remember, there’s still something that needs to be done in the Rejuvenation Hall."
Gu Jiao: "Oh, then you should return and deal with it first."
Second Owner: "You will go back with me."
Second Owner wanted Gu Jiao to treat the young master’s illness, but it was on the premise that Gu Jiao could cure the other party. However, that alarmed appearance of Steward He’s group had made him waver.
Behind Steward He was none other than his younger brother, whose capability was known to him clearly. Someone hired by him must certainly be a G.o.dly physician, but this G.o.dly physician actually left as soon as he entered, which only showed that the young master really had no hope of being cured.
There might be tens of thousands of medical treatments, but only one kind was enough to judge death.
He couldn’t screw Gu Jiao over.
If Gu Jiao entered now, the young master might directly die in front of her. At that time, she would no longer be able to escape unscathed.
Of course, Gu Jiao wouldn’t fail to comprehend his meaning.
She might have worked as a doctor in her previous life, but that was only to cover up her real ident.i.ty. She wasn’t a good person in essence, and she would never gamble with her life.
"All right, let"s go then." Gu Jiao nodded her head.
However, as soon as Gu Jiao turned around, her heart suddenly jolted.
"Young master——" An alarmed scream of the servant girl sounded from the room.
The young master began to twitch on the bed.
Gu Jiao suddenly felt uncomfortable.
She was absolutely certain she wasn"t ill somewhere, so this unsettling feeling was simply inexplicable.
"When did I have this much medical ethics? Leaving a patient untreated actually disturbed my conscience so much it reached the point of heartache?"
He was hurting, so did she.
This was really weird.
Gu Jiao, in the end, went inside.
There was an imperial physician at the estate, who was currently dispensing a prescription for the young master in the medicine room, so he wasn’t in the young master’s room at the moment. People hurriedly went to get him.
In the midst of this chaos, no one could be bothered about Gu Jiao entering the room.
When Gu Jiao reached the bedside, the young master no longer had a heartbeat.
Gu Jiao looked serious. Without saying anything, she got onto the bed, knelt beside the young master, pressed his chest with both hands, and began giving him an emergency cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
"Gu girl..." Second Owner was directly stunned by the present scene as soon as he entered the room. What was this girl doing to the young master?
At this moment, Gu Jiao couldn’t bother about the exposure of her medicine chest as she said sternly, "Keep the door shut! Don"t let people in!"
"... Alright!" Second Owner"s brain was still numb, but he managed to close the door with the fastest speed.
The old physician stayed in the room to see what he could do to help.
After pressing his chest for a while, the other party still didn"t show any reaction. Gu Jiao said, "Take out my medicine chest! Light up the oil lamp and candles! Use everything!"
The old physician quickly took out the small shabby box in the basket, but found that he couldn"t open it.
Gu Jiao had no choice but to open the medicine chest herself, and then the old physician went to light the oil lamp and candles accordingly.
Gu Jiao gave the young master an intravenous injection[1] of adrenaline.
The old physician was dumbfounded. This girl... What strange things did she use to pierce the young master"s veins?
After the first adrenaline injection, the effect wasn’t ideal.
At this time, the Marquis Estate’s Head Nursemaid and the servant girl arrived with the imperial physician. Second Owner, remembering Gu Jiao"s words, took a large stride and blocked their way.
"Who are you?" The Head Nursemaid asked grumpily.
The one who brought Gu Jiao’s group here was a young servant boy and he had long gone out. At present, only the servant girl named Yu Ya"er recognized him. Yu Ya"er was the servant girl who guided Shopkeeper He’s group.
Yu Ya’er pointed at him and said, "I know him! He is the one pretending to be from the Rejuvenation Hall of the capital!"
Second Owner firmly said, "What do you mean pretending? We are from the Rejuvenation Hall! It"s not just the one in the capital!"
Yu Ya’er complained, "Look, nursemaid! He admitted it!"
Second Owner was completely fogged. No, girl, did what I said really sound like that?
The Head Nursemaid didn"t misinterpret the meaning of Second Owner, but she also didn"t think highly of the medical halls outside the capital. She only let them in because the Marchioness was desperate. It was nothing more than giving medicine to a dead horse.
"What do you mean by blocking our way?" She asked in a cold voice.
Second Owner emboldened himself, saying, "Our Rejuvenation Hall’s physician is currently rescuing your young master inside. If you don"t want something to happen to your young master, you"d better not go in and disturb our physician!"
"Nursemaid, they’re lying!" The servant girl said.
She was in the room earlier and saw for herself that the young master already stopped breathing!
"Are you sure you can save the young master?" The Head Nursemaid"s stern voice hung like a blade over Second Owner"s head.
Second Owner"s back broke into a cold sweat.
What a good cunning nursemaid! This was to put the responsibility on them. If something really happened to the young master, it wasn’t their poor care of the young master, but rather their Rejuvenation Hall"s poor treatment of the patient.
In fact, they, the servants, had already looked after the young master with their utmost, but if the young master died, someone had to bear the anger of the Marquis and the Marchioness nonetheless.
Who would want to take up that role?
Second Owner"s legs started to tremble.
Gu girl, could you do it or not?
……
Not good.
Three doses of adrenaline were already used!
The old physician also gradually realized that something was wrong. Even if he was completely clueless about the origins of this strange injection, he still could tell that they must be used to prolong his life.
"Gu girl... Are you giving up..."
"I"ll try one more time!" Gu Jiao calculated the time and injected the fourth injection into the young master"s body.
If this one still didn’t work, there was nothing she could do anymore...
The people outside the door couldn’t wait any longer. Every minute and every second was an ordeal for everyone.
Second Owner"s cold sweat dripped to the ground.
The look in the Head Nursemaid’s eyes sharpened as she said, "Knock open the door for me!"
Two physically strong older female servants pushed Second Owner aside, but when they lifted their feet and were about to kick the door, the servant girl named Yu Ya’er spoke suddenly, "Nursemaid! Listen!"
The Head Nursemaid made a gesture, and everyone instantly quieted down.
"... So noisy."
It was the voice of the young master.
It was very faint, very weak.
They hadn"t heard the young master’s voice for ten days. They really thought the young master was going to pa.s.s, but just now... Just now...
"You, have you all heard it?" The Head Nursemaid felt so nervous for the first time.
Everyone nodded in unison.
It was faint, but they did hear it!

Everyone But Me Is Reborn
Her father is a coward and senselessly filial. Her mother is weak and gullible. Her elder brother is a wastrel.
When she married into the w.a.n.gfu, she suffered and was coldly treated. And by the time she was in labour, she was fated to die with the unborn child in her belly.
This was supposed to be Ning Nuan"s life.
However this time, everyone but her is reborn.
Ning Nuan is at a loss. She felt that her dad has suddenly become the pillar of the family, her mother’s temper became fierce, and even her elder brother, who would only walk the dogs and play with birds all day, has begun picking up books and reading them carefully.
There is also that juvenile that shows up at the wall of her courtyard everyday, calling her “Ah Nuan, Ah Nuan” with an honest face.
