Chapter 273: Chapter 105: Tingzheng Has a Fever_6

Having received assurances from Doctor Tang, Yueyao felt relieved. It was a relief that Tingzheng was out of danger, for she had no idea what she would have done otherwise. Yueyao thought back to her previous life when Tingzheng had perished from the fever, sending chills throughout her body.

Doctor Tang felt Yueyao’s chill and, piecing together the recent events, had a good idea of the situation. He felt a tinge of pity; the Third Young Lady, now orphaned and with a soft and gentle nature, would likely be devoured to her very bones in such an environment.

Doctor Tang might have thoughts like these, but he was resolute in not getting involved with the Lian family’s internal affairs. After leaving the bedroom, he led the attendant to the kitchen.

Most physicians would just dispense medicine and leave, but Doctor Tang, having served the Lian family for many years, needed to ensure Tingzheng was safe before he could rest easy.

After Doctor Tang had left, Yueyao finally addressed Lady Mo in front of Tingli, saying, “Eldest Aunt, Elder Brother, when Tingzheng developed a high fever in the middle of the night, Nanny Deng discovered it and sent someone to find the steward. The intention was to have the steward summon the physician, but the Outer Gate was locked, preventing anyone from leaving. Left with no other choice, Nanny Deng sent a maid to deliver a message to me, but she was intercepted by an old nanny at the second gate. Fortunately, a kind old nanny sent me the news; however, when I reached the second gate, the old nanny stubbornly refused to open it. Even when I told her that Tingzheng was running a fever and close to death, they still wouldn’t open the gate.” She paused before adding, “At that moment, all I could think of was saving Tingzheng, so, in a fit of rage, I ordered someone to pin down the old nanny and search her for the keys.”

Upon hearing this, Tingli became furious and asked, “Who obstructed the message and did not allow the steward to be informed to call the physician?” The negligence of such a critical matter could make it seem as if they neglected the children left by their uncle if something were to happen to Tingzheng.

Lady Mo coldly stated, “Rest assured, Lili, I will deal with them severely.” Even if Tingli remained silent, she would have punished them severely anyway, for a very simple reason—to avoid gossip.

Yueyao was not entirely satisfied, but she said no more. She had been overly enraged that night. Nevertheless, she had no regrets. If there was going to be a confrontation, then so be it, sooner or later. With Tingli present, Yueyao would not say anything more to Lady Mo.

The medicine was quickly prepared and brought in; Yueyao fed it to Tingzheng spoon by spoon. Fortunately, although Tingzheng was somewhat delirious from the fever, his mind was still clear, and he drank most of the bowl after Yueyao gently coaxed him. Doctor Tang nodded and said, “Miss, the Fourth Young Master has taken the medicine, and once he wakes up, he will be fine.”

Lady Mo prepared to stay and look after Tingzheng.

Remembering how Lady Mo had cared for her attentively when she was ill, Yueyao felt a cold shiver run through her. She would rather exhaust herself than let Lady Mo get too close to Tingzheng. Without any consideration for courtesy, she firmly refused, “There’s no need, I will take good care of Tingzheng.”

With nuanced words, Lady Mo might have clung to any politeness to stay, thinking the situation over. When it comes to people with thick skins, being straightforward is the best tactic.

Having had her pride hurt that day, Lady Mo naturally couldn’t stay any longer after such a blunt refusal from Yueyao. Upon returning to her own courtyard, Lady Mo said through clenched teeth, “That wretched girl, always pretending, and now she’s finally shown her true colors.”

Granny Lau dared not agree aloud, as the Third Young Lady had thoroughly intimidated her that day. Her ferocity was such that it seemed she might devour someone; it was the first time Granny Lau had ever been scared of a child in all her years, and she asked, “Madam, what should we do now?”

Lady Mo scoffed, saying, “What should we do? Does she think the Old Madam is still in charge of the household? She dares to cross me—fine, I’d like to see how she can continue to be so arrogant in the estate.” Lady Mo was irate. She had thought that with the Old Madam gone, there would be no one left to suppress her, but now Yueyao was causing trouble. She would see how to deal with her in the future.
