Transmigrated into a concubine, the main task is to make money

Chapter 168 Big Board

The two men felt as if they had been pardoned. They kowtowed to express their gratitude and were about to leave, each holding a basin.

The Second Wife was very angry and would not let them go so easily. When Cuiping passed by her, she deliberately tripped her with her foot.

Cuiping never thought that the Second Wife would use such a shady trick. She leaned forward as if she had lost her balance. Luyun was walking in front of her. She pounced on her and Luyun also lost her balance. They both fell to the ground, lying in a heap. Water spilled all over the ground, soaking their bodies.

The others were all shocked. The second wife was naturally pleased to see this and was the first to jump out and blame: "You two are really unpresentable slaves. The old lady just scolded you a few words, but you two little hooves still hold a grudge and have the guts to take revenge. If the old lady is frightened and hurt, you ten lives will not be enough to compensate. Come, drag these two unruly slaves away and give them twenty lashes."

Yang Chenchuan and Lin Yuxi just happened to see this when they came out. Lin Yuxi squinted her eyes and looked at the Second Wife, with flames of anger flashing in her eyes.

This second wife's hands are really long. Not only does she manage the affairs of the first wife, but she also beats her people in her room? Do they think they are dead?

She pretended to cough twice to attract their attention, and let Yang Chenchuan support her, and weakly offered to salute. The Second Madam looked at her pale face and her heart was in a knot. She couldn't bear to let her salute while she was sick, so she hurried forward to help her and said:

"Why did you come out? Chuan'er, your wife is still injured, why did you let her go?"

She curled her lips, smiled weakly, and said: "Yuxi is a new bride, she should serve the elders, it's just a minor injury, how can it be so precious? Even if it is an injury, the rules cannot be abandoned."

As he said this, he coughed and bowed to the old lady.

The Second Madam felt distressed just by watching this, and she was even more resentful towards the Second Wife. If she hadn't made such a fuss, she would have disturbed Yuxi's recuperation. Why would she have dragged herself out to ask about her well-being despite her injuries?

The Second Lady glared at the Second Wife, but the latter had a smug look on her face, with her eyebrows raised as if in a provocation.

Lin Yuxi sneered in her heart, but pretended to be ashamed on the surface, saying: "Grandma, it's all Yuxi's fault. I usually dote on them too much, and today I frightened you. Drag them away and give them ten big beatings each."

When the Second Madam called for help just now, no one dared to step forward, which made her very angry. But who would have thought that she would reduce the number of strokes by half and only give ten strokes. What made her most angry was that after hearing Lin Yuxi's order, those old women immediately dragged the people away. It was obvious that they did not take her seriously.

But she didn't think about it. This is Tingyuxuan. The owners of this courtyard are Yang Chenchuan and Lin Yuxi. Those old women are also very discerning and naturally will not bypass them.

Yang Chenchuan glanced at the Second Madam and said, “Let Mo Yan beat him, beat him hard. He broke the rules and scared the old lady. Don’t stop until he’s skinned alive.”

Everyone in the room gasped. They had all witnessed Mo Yan's strength. It would be strange if he didn't get skin and flesh ripped off with one blow from him.

If it weren't for Yang Chenchuan and Mo Yan, they would have already become corpses and would not have had the chance to make things difficult for others here.

This was exactly Yang Chenchuan's purpose, using the inkstone to shut their mouths while reminding them that it was their credit that they were still alive.

At the same time, it was also a show for them to watch. If the old woman took action, she might really lose a layer of skin after being hit by ten boards. Mo Yan was his person, and Lin Yuxi valued these girls so much, it would be strange if she really beat them.

She laughed secretly in her heart and glanced at Yang Chenchuan. This guy is really sinister.

This sentence was very useful to the old lady. It showed that her grandson and granddaughter-in-law valued her very much and gave her face. Her expression was no longer cold. When she looked at Lin Yuxi, her eyes softened a lot and she said a few words of concern.

At this moment, Chunlan came to report that the doctor had arrived. Naturally, all the women in the room had to leave. Yang Ruozhen, Yang Ruoyu and Chen Ying'er all went to the side room, while the old lady and several ladies accompanied Lin Yuxi into the inner room, and Ye Ziyan naturally followed them.

Generally speaking, women only need to put a handkerchief on their wrists during medical consultation, but Yang Chenchuan insisted on not doing so. He put down the gauze, let Lin Yuxi sit inside, took out a red rope, tied one end around her wrist, and gave the other end to the doctor.

The old lady and the others didn't know what tricks Yang Chenchuan was playing, but he did know how to diagnose a pulse through a thread. When the second wife saw this, she stared in amazement and even frowned.

The doctor didn't say anything. He lifted his robe and sat down to check the patient's pulse seriously. He checked the patient slowly with one hand on his beard. It took him a long time to finish. The second wife asked anxiously, "Doctor, how is the diagnosis?"

The doctor bowed and said, "You have lost too much blood and are weak. You should take more supplements and avoid overwork. There is nothing else wrong."

The concise and to the point words made the Second Lady completely relieved and she quickly thanked the doctor.

The second wife interrupted in disbelief: "That's impossible. Has the doctor examined him carefully? Is there really no other disease?"

After hearing this, the doctor snorted coldly: "I have been practicing medicine for decades and have never made a wrong diagnosis for anyone. Since this lady does not trust me, please seek help from someone else." Then he turned around and left, showing no respect at all.

But it's no wonder that he was angry. Anyone would feel uncomfortable if their cooking skills were questioned, let alone a doctor as noble as Si. There were countless people seeking medical treatment from him in Mingde City. He didn't usually go out to see patients casually, and it was only for the sake of the prefect's face.

After being scolded by the doctor, the second wife felt ashamed and shut her mouth, not daring to say a word. The old lady glared at the second wife and said some nice words to her. Only then did the doctor's expression ease. However, he was still angry, so he wrote a very expensive blood-replenishing prescription and left with a gloomy face.

As soon as the doctor left, the second wife's face darkened. She stared at the second wife and asked coldly, "What did your sister-in-law mean by what she said just now?"

The second wife's heart was beating fast. She just couldn't help but interrupt because she was anxious. She didn't know that it would make her lose face. She smiled awkwardly and pretended to be stupid:

"Sister-in-law, you misunderstood. I was just worried about Yuxi's health. This is the first time I've seen the pulse diagnosis technique. Those doctors who are not experts in medicine cannot diagnose it. I was afraid that he was just trying to save face, so I wanted him to diagnose her a few more times."

The second wife's words were so logical that no one could find fault with them.

At this moment, Lin Yuxi lifted the veil and saw the fleeting malice in the second wife's eyes, and she knew what was going on.

She looked at Yang Chenchuan calmly, and saw that his eyes were very gloomy. He clenched his fists in forbearance, and a cruel aura emanated from his body.

She hurried over and held his hand, suggesting that he should be patient. When Yang Chenchuan touched Lin Yuxi's warm little hand, his heart immediately calmed down.

She leaned against Yang Chenchuan and said with a smile: “Thank you for your concern, Second Auntie. But your serious look just now really scared me. I thought I really had an incurable disease. I just got married not long ago and haven’t left any blood for my husband. If it’s really as Second Madam thinks, then I…”

At the end, Lin Yuxi was choked up and couldn't say anything, as if she really had an incurable disease and would not live long.
