Chapter 49: Ye Chengzhi’s Master (1/2)

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Although Hong Yu did not understand An Rushuang’s words, she did not spend too much thinking about it.

On the next day, Ye Chengzhi arrived on time at West Room, while An Rushuang was stopped by several servant girls outside. Hong Yu comforted her, “Miss An, you pretended to be sick yesterday and it’s better for you to stay at your room. It was not easy for Nanny Liu to make this decision. If Nanny Liu see you safe and sound, she might change her mind…”

Hearing this, An Rushuang had no choice but to say, “Fine. I’ll wait at the pavilion outside. Remember to keep me informed.”

“Rest assured. Everything will go well with Nanny Liu,” said Hong Yu seriously.

No one wanted anything bad to happen, but it did happen.

It was not difficult for Ye Chengzhi to remove the gout, but to his surprise, Nanny Liu’s nape kept bleeding after the surgery. It was so serious that her blood even imbued the whole cloth. Seeing this, Hong Yu was totally panicked.

She pointed at Ye Chengzhi, “You’ve promised to cure Nanny Liu.”

Hong Yu had a close relationship with Nanny Liu. Seeing Nanny Liu turning increasingly pale and lifeless, Hong Yu couldn't help feeling frightened.

Ye Chengzhi was still clear-minded thanks to years of commitment in practicing medicine. He said in a calm voice though his fingers trembled slightly, “No worries. I’ll use styptic for Nanny Liu.”

It worked initially, but soon Nanny Liu was again bleeding; even the cotton used to hold the styptic turned red.

“It seems injection is a must now…” Ye Chengzhi mumbled.

“Then give her the injection! What are you waiting for? It’s still bleeding!” urged Hong Yu wiping her tears on the face.

Hong Yu said in such a trembling and sharp voice that she herself did not realized it.

However, at this time, Ye Chengzhi apologized, “Sorry… I’m not capable enough to give acupunctures to patients now…”

“What?!”

Hearing this, Hong Yu even wanted to kill him. Meanwhile, a warm hand fell on her shoulder. Turing back, Hong Yu saw a frowned pretty face. Hong Yu was suddenly all tears, “Miss An, Nanny Liu…”

Hong Yu was so sad that she couldn't finish speaking.

Nodding her head, An Rushuang said quickly, “I know. Don't worry. Is acupuncture the last resort?” She turned to Ye Chengzhi.

“Miss An, I didn't expect this to happen. It seems that Nanny Liu’s meridians are injured… ” said Ye Chengzhi with his head lowered.

“No more explanations. Give me a solution!” said An Rushuang in a high pitched voice and looking at him seriously.

At this time, Hong Yu felt that Miss An’s hand on her shoulder was tightly clenched.

“Now, only my master can save Nanny Liu,” sighed Ye Chengzhi.

After a while, he said firmly, “I will go and asked my master to cure Nanny Liu right now…”
