I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times Chapter 27

Chapter 27 The human heart is not enough and the snake swallows the elephant.

 “Grandma is sick?”

Lingchu ignored the second lady's words and swept his eyes across the people sitting in the main hall, indeed he did not see the figure of the second lady.

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. Indeed, she did not see her mother and eldest brother Ling Hao.

Seeing that she was silent, the second lady couldn't help but bring up the previous topic again, "Miss, did the master of Xuanqing Guan talk about your fate and decipher it?"

Lingchu 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 felt a sudden shock in her heart. Although she did not dare to directly say that Madam Tai and Ling Hao were cured of their illness by her, 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 fell ill due to her, otherwise they would not be sitting so far away from her.

Aunt Wen is a discerning person. One look at Ling Chu's expression and she knew she was displeased. However, after hesitating for a while, she still said, "Not only the madam and the eldest 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.”

The ones who fell ill were her grandmother and eldest brother. If she had money but was unwilling to hire a doctor for them, then she should be burdened with filial piety.

Today the Holy Emperor values ​​filial piety most. If Ling Chu wants to live here peacefully, 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 fetch a doctor for your grandmother."

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

If it were usually in Shangshu Mansion, the third young master would naturally not need to do this kind of errands, but now there is not even a servant in the manor, 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 wife lived.

 Entering the dowager's bedroom, he 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, "Sister Chu, why are you here? 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 didn't say anything unpleasant, Ling Chu also knew that his fate was not pleasing, so he didn't move forward.

Standing at the door far away from the big bed, he 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."

Hearing that a doctor had been invited, the expression on Mrs. Tai's face became softer. "Sister Chu has grown up and knows how to ask a doctor for my grandmother. My grandmother feels a lot more relaxed."

Although Mrs. Tai's attitude was gentle, Ling Chu couldn't 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 and see 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.”

Mrs. Tai's face was full of worry. She still valued Ling Hao, her eldest grandson.

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

 Enter the dormitory, Mrs. Dong was sitting by the bed, twisting the handkerchief and putting it on her son's forehead.

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

It's just that 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, so I came over to take a look. Don't worry, eldest brother, I have already asked my third brother to ask for a doctor.”

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

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

Lingchu didn't expect that her twin brother had a fever, but she heard that his bones had not been well since he was a child.

He had been in prison again before. 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 is demoted to a commoner. He must feel uncomfortable in his heart, and it is inevitable to 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 wife is old, she usually takes good care of herself. However, she was worried about something happening in the house and suffered some coldness at night, which made her fall ill.

 As long as you prescribe some medicine to regulate it, it won't be a big problem.

On the other hand, Ling Hao has been suffering from poor bones since he was a child, and his illness this time did cause some damage to his body. He needs to be prescribed some good medicine to treat it, and he will have to take care of himself in the future.

As for the sixth girl, she was just a little bit scorned by Jailer Zhao, and she couldn't think about it, so she got sick.

After the doctor prescribed the medicine, Ling Chu took out a hundred taels of silver and handed it to her father, asking him to pay the consultation fee and send someone to follow the doctor back to the hospital to get the medicine.

Seeing the banknote, the second lady's eyes flashed, "Miss, it's getting late now, shouldn't it be time to prepare for breakfast?"

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

 Woke up in the morning with a thunderous stomach and wanted to get something to eat, but when I got to the kitchen I found it was empty. Not to mention eating, not even a grain of rice.

 It's been hard to get through it until now, and I haven't even had a sip of tea.

Lingchu glanced around at the people who were looking at her eagerly, and almost couldn't help but roll his eyes in the sky.

“Dad, I don't have much money on me. After paying for the medical expenses and medicine, the remaining money will be bought by someone to buy some grain, oil, rice and noodles. In addition, I will buy a set of kitchen utensils.”

Seeing that Ling Chu didn't say anything further, the second lady couldn't help but said, "Miss, this little money is not enough. There is nothing in this house, so we have to buy other things..."

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