Zi Linwei's voice came from the window: "Master Guo took Mrs. Pei out to buy clothes and jewelry. He probably won't return home for a while."
Han Jiayang snorted coldly, "The eldest lady and my daughter don't care, but I dote on the little lady."
She concluded: "Scumbag!"
Ren Le pursed her lips: "Sister, Mrs. Feng is a good person, can you save her?"
There was no emotion in Su Ruotang's tone: "How do you know she is a good person?"
Ren Le: "Mrs. Feng has come to the drug store several times to grab medicine. Even though she is having a hard time, she is still willing to buy steamed buns for beggars."
"I saw her giving porridge to beggars outside the city several times."
Han Jiayang really didn't understand: "The Feng family is considered a well-known and wealthy businessman, and she is the only daughter in the family. As long as she reconciles with Guo Yu, her life will definitely be better than now."
"But why is she always unwilling to reconcile?"
Qing Wan sighed softly: "Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite."
While talking, several people came to the guest room in the front yard.
A young man in colorful clothes was walking around.
When he saw Su Ruotang, his eyes lit up and he went up to greet her and saluted, "The common people have seen the third prince's concubine."
"Who are you?" Su Ruotang looked at him lightly.
"The civilian's surname is Huo Jin. He is..." Huo Jin hesitated and said, "He is Mrs. Feng's neighbor."
Feng Yan’s neighbor?
Su Ruotang's delicate brows raised slightly.
She did not miss the strange look on the man's face when he mentioned Feng Yan.
"Third Princess, Mrs. Feng will never harm the Pei family!" Huo Jin's tone was extremely determined.
Su Ruotang blinked: "But Mr. Pei did almost get pregnant after drinking saffron."
Huo Jin almost burst into tears: "Third Princess, do you trust the common people? If the common people dare to use their heads as a guarantee, Mrs. Feng will never harm the Pei family!"
Su Ruotang looked indifferent: "Why are you so sure? It's normal for women to engage in intrigue."
Huo Jin: "She can even rescue and treat injured birds. There is no way she would harm an innocent little life!"
"Besides, she doesn't even have money to buy medicine, so how can she get the money to buy saffron."
Han Jiayang gave him a thumbs up: "Finally, there is a sober person."
Guo Yu's brain really doesn't know how he passed the imperial examination.
Although Ms. Feng has no contact with her natal family after marriage, she can return to her natal family at any time as long as she wants.
A man who supports his family with his wife's dowry is simply not a man.
Just as Huo Jin was about to speak, he saw a stumbling figure coming in a hurry from the corner of his eye, and the words that reached his lips were swallowed back.
He turned around in a hurry and reached out to pick up the girl in Feng Yan's arms, "Yan...Mrs. Feng, let me hold Chaochao."
Feng Yan's face was pale and her forehead was covered with sweat.
She didn't try to be brave and allowed Huo Jin to take Chaochao away from her arms.
"Third Princess, Chaochao has a fever." She spoke hurriedly without taking a breath.
Su Ruotang signaled Huo Jin to place Guo Chaochao on the couch.
Looking at Guo Chaochao's yellow face, she took out the antipyretic medicine and fed it to Guo Chaochao with warm water on the table.
Su Ruotang pinched Guo Chaochao's thin little hand and placed his fingertips on her pulse.
A four-year-old child is as skinny as a two-year-old.
He has a sallow complexion, thin muscles, malnutrition, and is sick all year round.
Not long after, under Feng Yan's nervous gaze, she withdrew her hand and said calmly: "I want to check her body."
Huo Jin said hurriedly: "You can check it, and I will pay for it."
Su Ruotang raised his eyes and took a deep look at him.
Feng Yan opened her mouth, but closed it again.
He gently pulled his arm forward and said, "Mr. Huo, please wait outside first."
Only then did Huo Jin react belatedly.
The tips of his ears were dyed red, he scratched his head and left the room with a slight tug.
After the door closed, Feng Yan untied Guo Chaochao's clothes.
Seeing that her daughter was so thin that only bones were left, she shed tears silently in distress.
After Su Ruotang carefully inspected Guo Chaochao's body, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Feng Yan saw her frown, and her heart suddenly reached her throat.
With trembling hands, she dressed Guo Chaochao.
I wanted to ask about my daughter, but I didn't dare to ask.
"I can treat your daughter."
When Feng Yan heard this, she immediately raised her head happily.
Her lips moved, but she couldn't say a word.
"Miss, Guo Yu is here." At this moment, Qingwan knocked on the door.
Feng's body trembled slightly.
Outside the door, Guo Yu's gentle voice came, "Third Princess, I'm here to take my wife home."
Feng's face suddenly turned pale, and she subconsciously hugged Guo Chaochao, who was sleeping on the bed due to high fever.
Su Ruotang looked slightly cold: "Mr. Guo, your daughter has a high fever and it is not suitable to move."
Guo Yu lowered his eyes, his expression showing no signs of tenderness and pampering towards Pei Yuanyuan.
The sunlight fell on his face, casting deep shadows that made it difficult to see his emotions.
His voice was still gentle: "Third Princess, the doctor in the minister's residence is quite familiar with Chao Chao."
"Chaochao has been weak since he was a child and has often been sick. With this illness, he dare not disturb the third prince and concubine."
"Yanyan, do you think so?"
Feng Yan heard him calling her Yanyan, and her breathing suddenly tightened.
"Yanyan, the third prince and concubine are busy with things. You shouldn't disturb her with such trivial matters."
"Guo Yu! Are you still not a human being? Chaochao has a high fever and is unconscious. You don't care about her. If Mrs. Feng doesn't come to see the third prince, are you just watching your daughter die of illness?" As soon as Guo Yu finished speaking, Huo Jin roared.
"Hey, Mr. Huo, calm down!" Ren Le pulled Huo Jin, who was about to attack Guo Yu.
Zi Linwei's cold voice came: "Xinglin Drug Store, no trouble is allowed."
"Guo Yu, if you don't love her, let her go!" Huo Jin gasped and stared at Guo Yu.
Guo Yu lowered his eyes and did not respond to Huo Jin's words, "Yanyan, it's time for us to go home."
Feng Yan bit her lower lip.
After a moment of silence, she blessed Su Ruotang and said, "Third Princess, I won't disturb you anymore."
After finishing speaking, she opened the door and looked at Guo Yu expressionlessly, "I'll go back with you."
Guo Yu raised his head, with a gentle look on his face.
He first clasped his fists and saluted Su Ruotang: "I have seen the third prince's concubine. She is a bitch and ignorant, and she has disturbed the third prince's concubine. Chaochao is ill today. I will take her back to my house for treatment first. I will come back to apologize to the third prince's concubine another day."
After saying that, he went into the room and picked up Guo Chaochao.
When he passed by Huo Jin, he said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Huo Jin, even if Feng Yan dies, he will still be the ghost of Guo Mansion."
"You!" Huo Jin clenched his fists and turned to look at him angrily.
Guo Yu hugged Guo Chaochao and left quickly.
Feng Yan hurriedly followed.
Huo Jin bit his back teeth tightly, his mouth filled with the smell of blood.
After a while, he let go of his hand in frustration and saluted Su Ruotang, "Young people, please leave."
He hunched over and walked slowly outside.
Ren Le frowned: "Sister, do we really not care about Mrs. Feng and her daughter?"
Su Ruotang's voice was calm: "Ren Le, the doctor's original intention is to save people, but not to become a saint."
"Not all poor people can be saved."
She is not a Bodhisattva.
In order to survive, she will save people.
But she saves people who ask for help from her.
Someone who doesn't want to be rescued is not worth her time.
