Chapter 397: Are You Playing Me?

n't that headdress you wanted to give to another girl before"Gu Jingxi honestly replied, "Yes.Meng Jin Yao's face changed slightly. Although she had already guessed the answer, hearing him say it out..."Master Wei, the Marquis has been unconscious since last night till now.

Meng Jinyao choked up and started to cry, her voice trembling: "He was fine the day before yesterday, but then something happened yesterday. I don't know what to do now. He keeps having a high fever that won't go down. I'm so scared something bad will happen."

Her gaze turned to Gu Jingxi on the bed, and then she said, "It's not even dawn yet, and the doctor came again. He said he has no other way, just follow the original prescription. Before you came, the Marquis just drank a bowl of medicine, but his fever hasn't subsided yet, it seems useless. Please ask Lord Wei to tell us where that divine physician is, whether it works or not, we have to give it a try.

In the end, she sobbed, tears streaming down her face like broken beads. Looking at her husband lying unconscious in bed, she felt both anxious and helpless.

When facing public embarrassment, her usual grace and composure disappear. That's a wife truly worried about her husband's well-being.

When Lord Wei saw this, his heart, which had been hanging all night, finally settled. The young daughter-in-law, in her teens, couldn't handle the situation. Even though she was usually composed, when faced with trouble, she would become flustered and at a loss. She comforted her: "Madam Gu, don't worry, I think Lord Gu's problem is not serious. The doctor I know should be able to help Lord Gu recover from his fever quickly. Before, when my mother fell ill, no other doctors could cure her, only he could."

He wasn't exactly lying to Meng Jin Yao, as he did know of a highly skilled physician in Hangzhou Prefecture. Hangzhou Prefecture wasn't too far from Huzhou Prefecture either. If they went now to invite the physician, they could have him back by today.

Mei Qingyun also soothed, "Gu Fu-ren, it is said that people who have always been healthy will be much more seriously ill than ordinary people when they suddenly fall ill. Gu Houye is a blessed person with good fortune, he definitely won't have anything serious. Just take a few more doses of medicine and he'll recover."

As soon as those words left her mouth, Wei's expression darkened. He glanced at his wife with displeasure in his eyes, as if to say: "You still remember that Gu Jingxi rarely gets sick"

Mei Qingyun ignored him and continued, "Madam Gu, didn't Lord Gu go to Deqing County to visit his elders Has he come back like this I heard that the county government office in Deqing County is haunted. Could it be that Lord Gu has been possessed by something evil"

Meng Jinyao was stunned: "Goblin, goblin"

Mei Qingyun lightly nodded her head: "Madam Gu is far away in the capital, so it's normal that she hasn't heard of this matter. The two county magistrates before Deqing County were both killed by evil things. If Lord Gu was possessed by an evil thing, then even seeing a doctor wouldn't be very effective; you would need to go to a temple to seek exorcism talismans. I happen to also want to go to the temple to burn incense these two days and pray for my elders. Why don't we go together It would be nice to have company on the way."

As soon as these words left her mouth, Wei Da's heart skipped a beat. Thinking back to what the crazy woman had said last night, he was afraid that this crazy woman would find an opportunity to be alone with Meng Jinyao and talk about things she shouldn't. He quickly replied, "Madam, you are talking nonsense! There are no such things as ghosts in this world! The most important thing now is to find a reliable doctor for Lord Gu, we can't let rumors delay his illness.

Mei Qingyun said softly: "Some things, it is better to believe they exist than not to believe they exist."

Meng Jinyáo looked at the couple, feigning hesitation. After a moment, she said, “Let’s have the divine physician take a look first. If things don’t improve, it’s not too late to go to the temple to get an exorcism talisman.”

Master Wei let out a sigh of relief and said, "I'll send someone to invite the doctor right away. The doctor should arrive before nightfall."

Meng Jinyáo expressed her gratitude: "Thank you, Lord Wei."

Lord Wei said in a kind tone: "Madam Gu, please don't be so polite. To tell you the truth, I am an old acquaintance of Lord Gu. When I was still in the capital, I knew him. Now seeing Lord Gu like this, I am very worried."

Then, Lord Wei comforted Meng Jingyao again. Seeing that she was not so flustered anymore, he took his leave.

But Mei Qingyun said, "Husband, why don't you go back first I'll stay here and keep Lady Gu company.

"Master Wei frowned, disapprovingly reprimanded: "Madam, now Madam Gu needs to take care of Master Gu. You staying here will only cause trouble for Madam Gu."

Mei Qingyun: "I..."

Meng Jin Yao looked at the couple, thoughtfully. She then said, "Lord Wei, Marquis now like this, without any elders around, I'm truly lost. Madam Wei staying behind to accompany me, I am truly grateful, how could I possibly cause trouble"

When Wei Da Ren heard this, he felt a surge of anger. He thought to himself that Meng Jin Yao was truly foolish. A normal person would never allow their husband's former fiancee to stay with them. Wouldn't she be afraid that the other woman had ulterior motives and was staying to try to win back her husband

Mei Qingyun smiled faintly: "Husband, you should go back first.

Lord Wei was helpless and could only return first. Before leaving, he cast a warning glance at Mei Qingyun.

However, Mei Qingyun didn't take it seriously, returning a provocative smile that made Wei the elder angry and regretful. He almost lost his temper on the spot.

If not in front of Lord Wei, Mei Qingyun was a kind and gentle woman. She accompanied Meng Jinyao, trying to distract her.

At noon, a maidservant came to report that Gu Jingxi had a fever and was conscious again.

Meng Jinyu was overjoyed and immediately went to see her husband.

Mei Qingyun was also quite tactful. To avoid suspicion, she politely excused herself and didn't follow to visit.

When Mei Qingyun returned home, she saw her husband's gloomy face and couldn't help but chuckle: "My husband, why is your face so grim Who has upset you"

Lord Wei dismissed the maid and had her close the door. Then, he pinched Mei Qingyun's chin and lowered his voice, "Mei Qingyun, are you insane If something happens to me, do you think you could save yourself"

Mei Qingyun appreciated his furious expression, her smile deepening. "Is your lord so afraid of losing your official hat So afraid of death Since you're afraid, why did you bring me today Lord, you should open your eyes a bit. People will die eventually, when they die and how they die are not that important."

Hearing this, Lord Wei's heart beat faster, his eyes narrowed menacingly at her, and he hissed, "Mei Qingyun, you are a lunatic. What did you tell Madam Gu"

Mei Qingyun took in his nervousness and panic, seemingly quite pleased with his reaction. She then replied blandly: “I didn’t say anything, just to comfort Madam Gu and invite her to visit my house when she has time. Also, Lord Gu has recovered from his fever and woken up. Madam Gu said that there is no need for a divine doctor anymore, but we still want to thank you, sir.”

"Are you mocking me" Lord Wei angrily said after being thoroughly tricked.

Mei Qingyun chuckled playfully: "Husband, how can you say that You were the one who misunderstood first."

"Wei, the great man, was furious: 'You...'

Mei Qingyun averted her gaze, no longer looking at her husband. When she heard that Gu Jingxi had woken up, she did consider going to see him and telling him what her husband had done. In the end, she backed down, probably because she wasn't tired of living yet.

She was like a desperado, dancing on the edge of death. The words she spoke to Meng Jin Yao today contained clues, but it didn't matter; no one could hear the hidden meanings in her speech.r in surprise, then nodded. "Or you know how to enjoy it, this is quite tasty."Meng Jinyao shook her head slightly and replied softly, "No, I've never eaten it before. It's just a whim to try it. When...
