Chapter 27: Greedy People Swallow Elephants

"Grandma is sick?"

Ling Chu ignored the Second Madam's words and glanced at the people sitting in the main hall, indeed he did not see the Tai Madam.

The second lady was ignored by her in public, and the anger in her heart kept rising. "Your grandmother is even sick and can't get up. Why do you act like a normal person and don't care at all?"

Seeing that Ling Chu's face was not good, Aunt Wen glanced at the angry second lady, turned to Ling Chu with a worried look on her face, "Eldest lady, your grandmother is indeed sick, and... your elder brother is also a little unwell. good."

Ling Chu frowned and turned to look at the people sitting in the hall. She indeed didn't see her mother or her eldest brother Ling Hao.

When the second lady saw that she was silent, she couldn't help but bring up the previous topic again, "Girl, did the master of Xuanqing Guan talk about your destiny and crack it?"

Ling Chu glanced at her and asked quietly, "What does the second aunt want to say?"

The Second Madam was stared at by her dark gaze, and her heart trembled. Although she did not dare to directly say that Madam Tai and Ling Hao were overcome by her illness, the look on her face clearly meant so.

Not only the Second Madam thought this way, but others probably also thought that the Madam and her eldest brother were made ill by her, otherwise they would not be sitting so far away from her.

Aunt Wen was a discerning person, and one look at Ling Chu's expression showed that she was displeased. However, after hesitating for a while, she still said, "Not only the madam and the young master are sick, but the sixth lady is also sick..."

Ling Chu frowned, why did three people get sick at once?

At this moment, Ling Chu saw her father, Ling Zong, walking in hastily from outside.

"Sister Chu, your grandmother and eldest brother are both sick. Do you have any money? If so, can you please bring a doctor back?"

Although Ling Chu had no feelings for this father, seeing a hint of embarrassment and helplessness in his worried expression, he did not reject him.

"Since grandma and eldest brother are both sick, let's ask the doctor to come back for diagnosis and treatment and prescribe medicine."

It was her grandmother and eldest brother who fell ill. If she had money but was unwilling to hire a doctor for them, it would be time for her to be burdened with filial piety.

Today's Holy Emperor values ​​filial piety most. If Ling Chu wants to live peacefully here, he cannot turn a blind eye to these relatives after all.

Seeing her agree, Ling Zong breathed a sigh of relief.

Aunt Wen on the side immediately said to her son, "Brother Wei, you have quick legs and feet. Go and ask a doctor for your grandmother."

After hearing what his aunt said, the third young master Ling Wei immediately nodded in agreement, turned around and hurried out of the house.

If we were usually in Shangshu Mansion, the third young master would not need to do such errands, but now there is not even a servant in the mansion, and the sick ones are the madam and the eldest young master. Ling Wei is quite sensible and does not refuse to go.

Seeing that his concubine and concubine took the initiative to help without him having to ask, Ling Zong was naturally very grateful.

Ling Chu was too lazy to pay attention to the affection between her father and his concubine, and turned around to go to the courtyard where the madam lived.

When I entered the Madam's bedroom, I saw her leaning sickly on the bedside.

Hearing the noise, the lady raised her eyes and looked over. When she saw it was Ling Chu, she pursed her lips tightly and then said with a kind face, "Why are you here, Sister Chu? Grandma is feeling a little unwell. Be careful when she is over sick." .

Grandma is just old, so there is no big problem. You'd better go back quickly. "

Although Mrs. Tai did not say anything unpleasant, Ling Chu also knew that his fate was not pleasing to the eye, so he did not move forward.

Standing at the door far away from the big bed, she said softly, "Grandma, please wait a moment. My third brother has already gone to ask the doctor. After the doctor diagnoses and treats me, he will prescribe some medicine and he will be fine."

When she heard that a doctor had been summoned, the expression on Mrs. Tai's face became softer, "Sister Chu has grown up and knows how to hire a doctor for my grandmother. My grandmother's body feels a lot more relaxed."

Although Mrs. Tai’s attitude was gentle, Ling Chu could not get close to her, “Since grandma is not feeling well, it’s better to lie down and rest first.

My eldest brother is also a little unwell, so I'll go check on him first. "

"Brother is not feeling well again? Then go and have a look. If the doctor comes, take him to see your eldest brother first."

Madam Tai's face was full of worry, and she still valued Ling Hao, her eldest grandson.

Ling Chu didn't stay at Madam Tai's place for long. After leaving, he went directly to Ling Hao's yard.

Entering the dormitory, Mrs. Dong was sitting by the bed, twisting the handkerchief and applying it to her son's forehead.

Hearing the noise, he turned around and saw Ling Chu, a trace of disgust flashed across his eyes.

But Ling Chu's attention was on Ling Hao and he didn't notice.

"Sister Chu, why are you here?"

"I heard that my eldest brother is not feeling well. I came over to take a look. Don't worry, eldest brother. I have already asked my third brother to call the doctor."

Although Ling Hao knew that she had a bad fate, he had a gentle temper and his attitude towards this little sister was quite acceptable.

"Thank you, eldest sister, for hiring a doctor for me. It's just that I'm ill right now, and I can't bear to give you the best of my illness. You go back quickly, and I'll talk to you properly when my eldest brother gets better." Ling Hao's voice was a little weak. But the worried look on his face looked more sincere than the others.

Ling Chu didn't expect that her twin brother had a fever, but she heard that he had been in poor health since he was a child.

He had been in prison again before, and although the jailer did not give him any trouble for her sake, something happened in the house and he was reduced to a prisoner. Now he was demoted to a commoner. He must have felt uncomfortable in his heart, and it was inevitable that he would fall ill.

Not long after, Ling Wei invited the doctor back. He first diagnosed the wife's pulse and prescribed a prescription, and then was brought over for Ling Hao's diagnosis and treatment.

Although the old lady is old, she usually takes good care of herself. It's just that she was worried about the incident in the mansion, and she caught a cold at night, so she fell ill.

As long as she gets some medicine to regulate her body, it won't be a big problem.

Ling Hao has been in poor health since he was a child. This time he fell ill and he has to take good care of him in the future.

As for the sixth lady, it was just that she was flirted with by the jailer Zhao before, and she was a little upset, so she fell ill.

After the doctor prescribed the medicine, Ling Chu took out a hundred taels of silver notes and handed them to her father, asking him to pay the consultation fee and send someone to go back to the clinic with the doctor to get the medicine.

Seeing the silver note, the second lady's eyes flashed, "Miss, it's getting late now, shouldn't we prepare breakfast?"

Others at least ate steamed buns and drank tea at the tea stall last night, but she didn't eat anything and was starving all night.

In the morning, her stomach was rumbling, and she wanted to get something to eat, but when she got to the kitchen, she found it was empty. Not to mention food, there is not even a grain of rice.

I have finally made it to this point, but I haven't even had a sip of tea.

Ling Chu glanced at the people who were looking at her eagerly, and almost couldn't help rolling her eyes.

"Dad, I don't have much money on me. After paying for the consultation and medicine, I will ask someone to buy some grain, oil, rice and flour. In addition, I will buy a set of kitchen utensils."

Seeing that Ling Chu didn't say anything more, the second wife couldn't help but say, "Miss, this little money is not enough. There is nothing in this house, and other things need to be purchased..."

Ling Chu interrupted her with a smile, "Second Aunt, do you want me to manage the household or be the head of the family?"
