“Doctor Liao! Doctor Liao!” Hang Zhuanggui hadn’t expected the renowned doctor, hired at great expense by the head of the household, to show such cowardice. He ran away without even attempting to treat the patient!

However, he understood why Doctor Liao fled. The young master’s condition was extremely critical, anyone could see that he was not going to make it.

No wonder it was said that the Lady of Marquis Residence didn’t even celebrate her birthday. Every day, she climbed up the mountain on her knees, prostrating herself with each step, praying for the Bodhisattva’s blessings for her son.

This situation was indeed beyond any human’s ability to redeem…

Hang Zhuanggui followed him out.

The young apprentice who had followed his master ran off swiftly, so swiftly that Hang Zhuanggui didn’t even catch a glimpse of his robe.

The second-in-command, noticing the hurried departure of the three, harboured uneasy suspicions. Seeing Gu Jiao rising to her feet and about to go inside, he suddenly stopped her: “I have just remembered some business at Huichun Hall.”

Gu Jiao, “Oh, then you go take care of it.”

Second-in-command: “Come with me.”

He wanted Gu Jiao to treat the young master, but that was contingent on the premise that Gu Jiao could cure him. However, the demeanor of Hang Zhuanggui and his company had shaken his conviction.

His younger brother was backing up Hang Zhuanggui, and he knew his brother’s capabilities well. The doctor they’d brought in must be a renowned local healer. If the healer left as soon as he walked in, it could only mean that the young master was beyond help.

There might be numerous medical techniques for treatment, but to confirm death only one would suffice.

He couldn’t let Gu Jiao get involved in this.

If Gu Jiao walked in there right now, the young master might just die before her very eyes. In that scenario, she wouldn’t escape unharmed.

Of course, Gu Jiao wouldn’t miss his underlying message.

In her previous life, she was a doctor, but that was just a cover for her real identity. She was not a good person in nature, she would not gamble with her own life.

“All right, let’s go,” nodded Gu Jiao.

Just when Gu Jiao turned around, a sharp pain suddenly struck her chest.

“Young Master – ” a maid’s frightened scream came from inside the room.

The young master started convulsing on the bed.

Gu Jiao suddenly felt unwell.

She was absolutely certain she was not ill, so this feeling of restlessness was utterly incomprehensible.

“Is it possible that I have so much medical ethics that I’d suffer from guilt and heartache just by ignoring a patient?”

He was in pain, and so was she.

How strange.

In the end, Gu Jiao still walked in.

The Marquis Residence had imperial doctors at its disposal. They were currently in the pharmacy, preparing medicine for the young master. They were not in the young master’s chamber, so the servants hurried to fetch them.

In the midst of the chaos, no one noticed whether or not Gu Jiao had entered the room.

By the time Gu Jiao reached the bedside, he had already lost his heartbeat.

Gu Jiao’s expression turned stern. She climbed onto the bed without uttering a word, knelt beside the young master, put her hands on his chest, and began performing emergency cardiac resuscitation for him.

“Miss Gu…” The second-in-command was shocked as he entered the room. What on earth was she doing to the young master?

At this point, Gu Jiao had no time to worry about whether the first aid kit would be exposed or not. She commanded seriously, “Guard the door! Don’t let anyone in!”

“…Okay!” The second-in-command was still bewildered, but he promptly shut the door.

The old doctor stayed in the room, looking for ways to help.

Gu Jiao continued performing chest compressions on him for a while, but there was no response, “Get my first aid kit out! Light up all the oil lamps and candles! All of them!”

The old doctor swiftly took out the small worn-out box from the knapsack, only to find he couldn’t open it.

Gu Jiao opened the first aid kit herself, while he went to light up the oil lamps and candles.

Gu Jiao injected a dose of adrenaline into the young master’s veins.

The old doctor was dumbstruck. This girl… What strange things was she poking into the young master’s veins?

The effects of the first shot of adrenaline were not as desired.

At this point, the housekeeper and the maids of Marquis Residence arrived with the imperial doctor. Remembering Gu Jiao’s instruction, the second-in-command blocked their way in a stride.

“Who are you?” The housekeeper asked irritably.

It was a young servant boy who had brought Gu Jiao and the others here, and he had gone out. Among the people present, only a maid called Yu Ya recognized him. She was the one who had brought Shopkeeper Hang here.

Yu Ya pointed at him and said, “I recognize him! He’s the one who impersonated the Huichun Hall in the Capital City!”

The second-in-command proclaimed indignantly, “Impersonation? We are from Huichun Hall! Just not the one in the Capital City!”

Yu Ya accused, “Housekeeper, you see! He admitted it!”

The second-in-command was perplexed, “Did I mean that?”

Although the housekeeper didn’t misinterpret the second-in-command’s words, she did not have much regard for medical halls outside the Capital City. The fact that they were allowed inside was only because the Lady Marquis was desperate, like trying to save a dying horse.

“What’s the meaning of you blocking the way?” She asked coldly.

The second-in-command braced himself, and said, “Our doctor from Huichun Hall is inside, trying to save your young master. If you don’t want anything bad to happen to him, it’s best not to disturb her!”

“Housekeeper, they’re lying!” One of the maids said.

She had seen everything that happened inside the room. The young master had already stopped breathing!

“Are you sure you can save the young master?” The housekeeper’s stern voice hung over the second-in-command’s head like a blade.

The second-in-command broke out in a cold sweat.

Cunning housekeeper, she was shifting the blame onto them. If anything went wrong with the young master, it wouldn’t be due to their carelessness but due to Huichun Hall’s incompetence.

The truth was, they had cared for the young master to the best of their abilities, but if the young master died, someone still had to take the blame and face the wrath of the Marquis and his wife.

Who would want to be that person?

The second-in-command’s legs were trembling.

Miss Gu, are you capable or not?

No, she wasn’t.

She had already used three doses of adrenaline!

The old doctor gradually realized that something was amiss. Although he had no idea where these strange injections came from, he understood that they must be life-saving measures.

“Miss Gu… give it up…”

“Let me try once more!” Gu Jiao counted the time before administering the fourth injection into the young master’s body.

If this one didn’t work, she couldn’t do anything else…

The people outside couldn’t wait anymore, every second was a torment for them.

Drops of cold sweat rolled off the second-in-command and hit the floor.

The housekeeper’s eyes turned sharp: “Break the door down!”

Two sturdy maids pushed the second-in-command aside and lifted their legs to kick the door, when suddenly, Yu Ya, the maid, spoke out, “Housekeeper! Listen!”

The housekeeper gestured for silence, and everyone immediately fell quiet.

“…So noisy.”

It was the young master’s voice.

Very soft, very weak.

They hadn’t heard the young master speak for ten days. They truly thought he was going to die, but just now… just now…

“Did… did you all hear that?” The housekeeper asked nervously for the first time.

Everyone nodded in unison.

Although it was very faint, they had indeed heard it!
