Her voice wasn't deliberately lowered.
It was neither too loud nor too quiet.
Perhaps Yun Shu could hear it, but she didn't care.
It was precisely for Yun Shu to hear.
Just so Yun Shu would remember the lives of so many people in their village!
Although she felt a sense of relief, perhaps it was precisely because of this experience that she had the fortune to come to the capital, and then to Yi Zi Xing's side.
At this moment, Yun Shu had already reached the Marquis of Loyalty and Courage.
With her sharp ears, she naturally heard Qian Le'er's words, and her gaze flickered.
The Marquis of Loyalty and Courage was panting heavily, his face frighteningly pale, looking as if he had aged ten years overnight with a haggard and gaunt appearance, exuding a sickly frailty and old age from an old illness that had flared up after a fit of rage.
Yun Shu had seen many seriously ill people, but she was still shocked by the sight before her.
The Marquis of Loyalty and Courage she had seen not long ago was still a smiling middle-aged man.
He was kind and approachable.
He rarely put on airs befitting his title of Marquis.
But now, the Marquis of Loyalty and Courage looked ten years older, appearing gravely ill.
Yun Shu sighed inwardly. Seeing that the Marquis of Loyalty and Courage was about to speak, she shook her head, "Your Lordship, there's no need to rush your words. Let me examine you first. Please rest assured."
The Marquis of Loyalty and Courage's eyes were slightly red. After all, he was a man who had seen much of the world. "Alright."
Seeing the Marquis of Loyalty and Courage's eyes redden, the old man beside him couldn't help but his own eyes turned red. He wiped his tears, lamenting how difficult the Marquis's life had been!
He had never remarried for the sake of his heir, only for him to now infuriate the Marquis so much over some vixen!
He had never seen the Marquis so angry before!
Yun Shu glanced at the old man who was shedding tears, and then said, "Rest assured, since I am here, I will surely treat Your Lordship well."
"Thank you, Miss Yun Er, thank you, Miss Yun Er!" the old man said repeatedly with red eyes, expressing his gratitude.
Yun Shu lowered her gaze and began to take his pulse with a calm mind.
The Marquis of Loyalty and Courage's breathing had become much calmer.
Perhaps it was because of the girl Yun Shu's arrival, he was certain that this girl Yun Shu's medical skills were extraordinary. Just two days ago, he had met Old Master Qin, who had consistently praised her exceptional medical skills.
At that time, he had truly envied Old Master Qin. He must have accumulated good karma in his past life to have such a granddaughter-in-law as Yun Shu in this life.
What a pity!
Why wasn't she his daughter-in-law?
Moreover, he had invited her for another reason: perhaps with her presence, his incompetent son might calm down and not have eyes only for that deceitful and hypocritical woman.
Yun Shu was, of course, unaware of the Marquis of Loyalty and Courage's thoughts.
After she finished taking his pulse, she sighed inwardly again.
It seemed that Yi Zi Xing and Qian Le'er had greatly angered the Marquis of Loyalty and Courage just now.
"Your Lordship needs to recuperate his body well from now on. Do not get angry easily. Nothing is more important than your health," Yun Shu said, then stood up and sat down to the side.
She saw the prescriptions left by the previous physicians and imperial doctors.
After glancing through them, she said to the old man, "These prescriptions are not usable for now. I will write one first. Please go and buy the medicine and prepare the decoction as soon as possible."
The old man nodded repeatedly, "Good, good, good."
"Miss Yun Er's medical skills are indeed exceptional. Several old men came earlier, each shaking their heads and sighing as if this Marquis was about to ascend to heaven at any moment," the Marquis of Loyalty and Courage's mood was no longer as agitated as before; instead, he had become somewhat calm.
Yun Shu, while writing the prescription, said with a faint smile, "What they said is true. If Your Lordship continues to let anger overwhelm you, even an immortal would be hard-pressed to save you. You must rest well now. If you listen and recuperate diligently, living another twenty years would be no problem."
"And what if I don't recuperate properly?" the Marquis of Loyalty and Courage asked.
"If you don't recuperate properly, at most a month, at least half a month," Yun Shu was not exaggerating, merely stating the facts.
Upon hearing this, the Marquis of Loyalty and Courage's eyes widened. He had been in a fit of rage all this time and hadn't thought about these matters carefully.
Now, a chill went through him.
He also felt a sense of dread!
Although he had lived most of his life, he hadn't lived enough! He couldn't bear to see his incompetent son marry and have children; he was unwilling.
And that hypocritical woman, he couldn't let her ruin Zi Xing.
He swallowed, stabilized his emotions, and then nodded, "Alright, alright, alright, this Marquis understands."
Yun Shu handed the prescription to the old man, who said excitedly, "Thank you so much, Miss Yun Er!"
"You're welcome, hurry now," Yun Shu replied.
After the old man left, the Marquis of Loyalty and Courage glanced in the direction of the door, then said to Yun Shu with relief, "You girl are truly the most outstanding among the younger generation I have ever met!"
The more he looked, the more he felt, alas! She wasn't his daughter-in-law!
Yun Shu felt a blush of embarrassment at the praise.
"Girl, you saw Zi Xing's concubine just now, didn't you?" the Marquis of Loyalty and Courage suddenly straightened his expression and asked.
Yun Shu nodded, "I did."
And it was someone she knew.
Which surprised her greatly.
She had never expected Yi Zi Xing's concubine to be Qian Le'er. Three days without seeing each other could make a person look at each other with new eyes. If it weren't for her mastery of disguise and her attention to certain behaviors and habits, she would never have recognized her at first glance.
The change was immense.
She had been solely focused on saving the Marquis of Loyalty and Courage earlier and hadn't thought much about how Qian Le'er had escaped death, how she came to the capital, and how she had recognized Yi Zi Xing so quickly in the capital.
Furthermore, Qian Le'er was very different from before; this difference was in some changes in her demeanor and bearing, as if she had been meticulously tutored.
"Zi Xing wants to marry her as his legal wife. I have met countless people and had her investigated. If she were worthy of Zi Xing's true affection, it would be fine. But she is someone with malicious intentions and a deceptive nature. If Zi Xing marries her, the consequences will be endless," the Marquis of Loyalty and Courage said gravely.
Listening to the Marquis of Loyalty and Courage's definitive judgment, Yun Shu's gaze deepened.
This was not a matter she should be involved in.
After some thought, she said, "I believe Young Master Yi will surely see through everything. Your Lordship need not worry too much."
Recalling Yi Zi Xing's doting and protective attitude towards Qian Le'er just now, she hoped she was wrong.
Once a person experiences a blow, they can indeed undergo earth-shattering changes.
These changes are definitely not something others can truly anticipate.
She hoped her suspicions about Qian Le'er were just suspicions and not the reality. After all, Qian Le'er was Qiu Lu's only relative in this world and Qiu Lu's only remaining concern.
Listening to Yun Shu's comforting words, the Marquis of Loyalty and Courage sighed, "See through everything?"
"What situation did Your Lordship uncover?" Yun Shu's heart stirred, and she asked softly.
If it were just a misunderstanding, it shouldn't have made the Marquis of Loyalty and Courage so angry and uncompromising.
The Marquis of Loyalty and Courage would never look down on someone's background. As far as she knew, Yi Zi Xing's mother's background was also not from a distinguished family.
The Marquis of Loyalty and Courage happened to have a stomach full of words he wanted to say but had no one to say them to, and the most suitable person to listen to him now was Yun Shu before him.
He sighed with a troubled expression, "What my subordinates investigated was..."
