Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1552: Chapter 1532: Lady Physician Cong Ying

”Lin Jiayou, if you don’t explain, I swear I’ll throw you into the cesspool!” Qhianqhian and He Wenyu had just planned to rest when Lin Jiayou grabbed their clothes, almost choking them as he pulled them away.

They were instantly enraged and jumped up, never having seen anyone behave like this. Wasn’t this just causing trouble? Grabbing a girl’s collar? Whose brother treats his sister like this? Let them show their face!

Without any hesitation, Qhianqhian drew a dagger and swung it at Lin Jiayou.

”My dear aunt, I was wrong.” Lin Jiayou immediately admitted his fault, pleading with Qhianqhian repeatedly, ”My dear aunt, I have something to discuss. Can we talk nicely first?” Looking at the gleaming dagger made Lin Jiayou shiver a bit. Why are the girls in their family so violent?

He Wenyu didn’t have a dagger in hand, but he did conveniently pick up the stool placed in front of the door, as if ready to throw it at any moment if things didn’t go well.

Hearing Lin Jiayou’s address, both of them were stunned for a moment, then put away their weapons. After all, they were family, and his demeanor clearly indicated he genuinely had something to discuss with them.

”Speak,” Qhianqhian said straightforwardly with a wave of her hand, as if the term ’dear aunt’ had somehow satisfied her heart.

”Can you two come with me for a trip...” Lin Jiayou said with a face full of helplessness but a determined look at the two.

”Business or personal? What’s going on?” Qhianqhian wasn’t about to let her guard down just because it was Lin Jiayou speaking, and she looked at him seriously while asking.

”Personal, the Eldest Princess wants to see you,” Lin Jiayou quickly said. This wasn’t something that needed to be concealed, as no matter what, sisters were more important than lovers.

”Then I’ll let my brother know,” Qhianqhian slightly frowned, unwilling to interact with those noble young ladies from the clans. However, since it was Lin Jiayou speaking, she couldn’t ignore it entirely.

She went straight into her brothers’ room, woke everyone up, explained the situation, and pointed at Lin Jiayou standing in the courtyard.

Bai Yizhu abruptly sat up, ”Isn’t it his lover? What are you going for? Can you become his main wife by just seeing her?”

Bai Yizhu had always been vexed by the fact that his subordinate became Qhianqhian’s brother before he did, so he hardly ever had a friendly face for Lin Jiayou. Even his worries about Lin Jiayou’s injuries were kept deep inside until he saw Lin Jiayou return safely.

”Brother Zhuzi, are you cranky from waking up? Or do you feel it’s unfair because we can go and you can’t?” Qhianqhian stuck her tongue out at Bai Yizhu and seriously said to Luo Shufan, ”I can’t rule out the possibility that they might have hostility towards us, but we still have to trust Brother Jiayou. By the way, if something happens to me, I’ll set off fireworks...”

She winked at Luo Shufan and then left with He Wenyu and Lin Jiayou.

The three remaining in the room looked at each other in dismay.

Luo Yanhai: ”Why does her mention make me even more worried? Will it be them returning or the fireworks?”

Luo Shufan nodded repeatedly, remaining silent.

He was troubled by the fact that a brother would ask two young girls to go out at night.

Bai Yizhu sighed, ”Let’s cultivate, make up for our lack of strength with diligence.”

The three quietly began their cultivation.

Meanwhile, Qhianqhian, who slipped out lightly, saw the coachman still standing by the big stone that had been moved away and felt a bit strange.

”Why hasn’t he left yet?” He Wenyu was also curious.

”Who knows, if he wants to wait, let him wait. Are we really afraid of them?” Lin Jiayou’s voice was calm, but there was a trace of anxiety in his tone.

”Qhianqhian, actually, I do need a little help from you.”

Qhianqhian and He Wenyu exchanged silent glances without speaking, waiting for Lin Jiayou to explain. If it weren’t like this, would he have run back in the middle of the night to tug their collars, going as far as calling them dear aunts?

”Your sisters-in-law were pregnant before... um, you still have that test, right?” Lin Jiayou continued, ”We feel something unusual, but we can’t be sure, so we can only turn to you...”

Qhianqhian and He Wenyu looked at each other, shocked, but their footsteps didn’t falter.

What kind of luck is this? They just helped the future Nineteen deal with a child that shouldn’t have been, and now there’s another one?

”Why didn’t you ask the Imperial Physician for a pulse diagnosis?” Qhianqhian looked at Lin Jiayou puzzledly. Isn’t this the time to look for a test?

”There are some suspicions, and we’re afraid to ask,” Lin Jiayou sighed, looking at the two of them and murmuringly saying, ”The reality is far more brutal than what we saw on TV before. The real world is cruel in a way that you can’t even imagine.”

The wind blew past the three, bringing a refreshing chill that dispelled the earlier stuffiness.

”I still have a few.” Qhianqhian prepared a lot of such tests, carrying them with her to prevent love at first sight between Luo Yanhai and someone...

”That’s good.” Lin Jiayou also breathed a sigh of relief. Though he respected the depth of medical skills, he couldn’t help but believe in the power of science in modern society as well. At least, a pulse diagnosis couldn’t tell if a child had congenital issues.

When they arrived at the Eldest Princess’s Mansion, He Wenyu saw someone she had met before.

”Cong Ying?” He Wenyu was taken aback.

It was Cong Ying, cousin to Du Yuwei, whom she met at the Du Residence. Cong Ying also had a brother named Cong Wei, and both were very attentive to Du Yuwei.

”Miss Shiliu?” Cong Ying was equally surprised, looking at He Wenyu in disbelief.

She naturally knew about Du Yuwei’s matters. In fact, both Du Yuwei and Du Lanming had rushed to their residence to seek assistance and vent grievances, so she was somewhat aware of these matters. She felt helpless towards her cousin.

”Do you know each other?” Lin Jiayou was surprised for a moment but still spoke, ”This is the Eldest Princess’s close confidante. These two are my sisters.”

Cong Ying looked at Lin Jiayou in disbelief. This man, injured and taken in at the Princess’s Mansion, was actually from the Nine Heavens Pavilion?!

”I met Miss Cong once at the Du Residence,” He Wenyu nodded, pulling Qhianqhian’s wrist back a bit, taking on a protective stance. Her expression was slightly cautious, fearing this person might cause some trouble again, worrying her family, making Qhianqhian clean up after her.

”Let’s go in first, chat later,” Lin Jiayou quickly pulled Qhianqhian toward a courtyard, moving with ease.

Seeing the Eldest Princess lying in bed with a pale face, Qhianqhian was taken aback, ”Are you sure it’s not diarrhea?” she asked Lin Jiayou seriously. Her appearance indeed looked like dehydration from diarrhea.

”Lay off the jokes.” He took the test handed over by Qhianqhian and helped the Eldest Princess stand to move behind a screen. Ignoring certain sounds, they waited quietly.

Soon, Lin Jiayou helped the Eldest Princess back out and signaled Qhianqhian with a glance, ”Go take a look.”
