I Raised A Sick And Weak Prince

Chapter 25

The Ning Lady could be counted as someone from a distinguished family.

Her father was one of Tai Academy's more senior instructors, several of her brothers also served in the imperial court, and although the Ning Royal Palace had declined these days, the Ning Lady still lived in comfort and luxury.

You could say that since the day she was born, she had never received such humiliation!

But now, that carefree mysterious doctor actually wanted her to kowtow three times to get medicine? If this was not a deliberate humiliation then what was it?! Not to mention, there were rumors in the streets that the mysterious doctor was only an insignificant juvenile, and he wanted her to kowtow to someone her son's age? Simply preposterous!

Also, those peasants at Yong'an Temple were able to drink a bowl of porridge, and some of the Capital City's powerful people could buy a bag of medicine with a mere ten taels of silver, so how come when it came to her place, things were so difficult?

Could it be, that mysterious young doctor was the Ning Royal Palace's enemy? Or someone related to her enemy?

Who could it be? However, the Ning Lady could not guess who it was for a short while——

The wives of every high official and noble lord had their own circle. She and some of them were on friendly terms, but it was inevitable to have some bad relationships with a few others. The people who disliked her were many, and the number of people who acted like her sisters on the surface but perhaps could stab behind the back at any time were even innumerable.

Therefore, where could she find the least bit of a clue on who that mysterious young doctor was?

The Ning Lady was furious to the point that her body trembled, but looking at Lu Wenxiu's worsening complexion on the sickbed, she gritted her teeth, ultimately she decided with a humiliated face...to comply.

She ordered the group of subordinates with a stern voice to control their own mouths. This matter must not be spread out, and if the slightest rumor regarding this matter was heard outside, their mouths would be peeled!

At this moment, the Ning Lady couldn't care about her generous and gentle image and drove everyone away flusteredly, then ordered two maids to prepare for her.

But even if this matter had not yet spread outside of the Ning Royal Palace, everyone had known about it inside the Ning Royal Palace.

The servants discussed it spiritedly, and those who had been treated harshly by the Ning Lady on ordinary days gloated a bit in their hearts.

The Old Madam was at the Mei'an Garden resting, and the Duke was dispatched to the destitute Liu Province last time and had yet to return. No one dared to let the news reach his ears.

When Lu Yu'an came back from Tai Academy and heard of this matter, his complexion immediately got ugly. He quickly got up to stop the Ning Lady. Second brother being seriously ill was a small matter, if this kind of shameful matter was spread out of the Ning Royal Palace, where would he have the face to call her mother?!

The Ning Royal Palace, just like that, became a complete mess.

Although Lu Huan didn't know why that person wanted him to save Lu Wenxiu, that person must've done things with their own purpose. Saving Lu Wenxiu to him wasn't a big thing, moreover, he was also considering the hunt in Qiuyan Mountain five days later. If the Ning Royal Palace suddenly had funeral arrangements to handle, then he definitely couldn't go.

Therefore, after pondering a while, he let Chang Gongwu bring a bag of medicine, went to the woods, and hung the medicine at the treetop.

The Ning Lady changed to an inconspicuous black cloak, with only her trusted nanny following her, and set off from the most remote road. Before that, she had made the Ning Royal Palace's guards clear any commoners on that road in advance, so as not to let anybody see her extraordinarily disgraceful act.
