Chapter 49: What exactly is Chapter 49?
Little did she know, as she indulged in self-satisfaction, Young Master Tutor Lin’s mind had stealthily shifted. Her arrogance and presumptuousness were gradually digging her into an abyss of misfortune.
Hearing Song Xiaoniang’s slightly provocative response, Young Master Tutor Lin’s brows snapped together, a flash of coldness in his eyes, his voice conveying unprecedented sternness, “Is that so? It seems that I have overindulged you, allowing you to forget your place, even daring to belittle the Old Lady and try to lay hands on her personal belongings?”
As soon as he spoke, the air seemed to solidify, a storm looming over the entire room.
With a sudden violent slam of his hand on the desk, the heavy sound made the air inside the room tremble. Song Xiaoniang swayed slightly, her face turning as pale as paper, her eyes flashing with panic and helplessness.
She quickly twisted her clothes with both hands, her voice trembling slightly, pleading urgently, “No, it’s not like that, my lord, you must listen to me carefully, there must be some misunderstanding…”
To one side, Su Yu witnessed this scene, a complicated expression flashing across her eyes.
She well knew the entangled conflicts within the family, and that it was unwise for outsiders to intervene. Thus, she decided to wisely withdraw.
She gently adjusted her clothes, and with a gentle and dignified gesture, she bowed lightly, whispering, “Given the circumstances, it seems that the truth has already surfaced. It is inappropriate for a young lady like myself to continue meddling in the affairs of Lin Mansion. Therefore, I will take my leave now and wish you all well.”
Upon hearing her words, Young Master Tutor Lin squeezed a smile of apology on his face, hastily retaining her, “Ah, today I indeed wronged Doctor Su and your exemplary medical skills. I hope you can forgive my oversight. I will immediately instruct the housekeeper to prepare the carriage and personally escort you back to show my apologies.”
Su Yu tactfully declined, her tone revealing a hint of firmness and restraint, “Master Han’s kindness is well received, but there is really no need to go to such lengths. I still have some unfinished matters to attend to, and though traveling by carriage is convenient, I truly do not wish to be entangled further in the complex affairs of Lin Mansion.”
She thought to herself that the Silver Tael she clutched in her hands would be perfect for purchasing necessities for her home, adding a touch of warmth to her tranquil days.
Seeing Su Yu’s determined attitude, Young Master Tutor Lin did not insist further. He turned to the waiting housekeeper and ordered, “Qi Er, please take the trouble to escort Doctor Su out safely.”
Qi Er respectfully nodded his assent, his face wearing a polite smile, as he escorted Su Yu in the most appropriate manner, “Doctor Su, please follow me this way.”
Just as Su Yu followed Qi Er and prepared to leave, a soft yet continuous coughing sound emerged from the inner room, breaking the soon-to-be calm atmosphere.
The maid, Yun Xin, upon hearing this, flashed a look of uncontrollable joy, almost sprinting into the inner room. Soon her excited voice pierced through the door, like a spring breeze soothing everyone’s hearts, “The Old Lady has awakened! The Old Lady is truly awake!”
The news exploded among the crowd, as people set down what they were doing and surged toward the inner room, their faces filled with disbelief and joy.
Su Yu halted involuntarily, considering in her heart that since the Old Lady had awakened, perhaps it wouldn’t hurt to stay and observe for a while longer.
Stepping into the inner room, she saw Yun Xin carefully helping the Old Lady to sit up slowly, her tender gestures revealing infinite care for the Old Lady.
At the side, Doctor Zhu quickly approached, his fingers resting on the Old Lady’s wrist. Moments later, his expression shifted from tension to an uncontrollable delight, “The Old Lady’s pulse is stable, her breathing even, and even the phlegm noise that was troubling her has vanished. Doctor Su, your medical skills are truly miraculous, utterly divine!”
Li Huaixin’s words were filled with admiration and appreciation for Su Yu. To know that the Old Lady’s condition had been extremely perilous, yet under Su Yu’s treatment, she had turned from danger to safety overnight. How could such a miracle not elicit continuous astonishment?
Faced with praises coming from all directions, Su Yu simply smiled lightly, without much comment, her modest attitude only adding an air of mystery and nobility.
Young Master Tutor Lin hurried to the Old Lady’s side, his eyes filled with concern, “Mother, how do you feel? Is there any discomfort?”
The Old Lady had a faint smile at the corner of her mouth and her tone carried a bit of complaint, “I was hoping to sleep a while longer, but I was awakened by the noise outside, and my beautiful dream was interrupted. What on earth happened that was so important?”
Young Master Tutor Lin found himself at a loss for words, struggling with how to broach the matter of Song Xiaoniang.
After all, the Old Lady had warned him years ago that overly indulging Song Xiaoniang could lead to trouble, yet he had not taken it to heart, and now he naturally found it difficult to speak up.
Having no choice, Young Master Tutor Lin shifted the topic, “Mother, you’ve just woken up, and your body still needs rest. Let’s set aside those trivial matters for now and focus on getting some good rest.”
The Old Lady did not delve deeper, merely sighing, “Speaking of which, it’s really odd. While I was unconscious, it seemed as if I saw a fairy-like figure feeding me some magical elixir. I thought I had left the human world and arrived at the banks of the River of Forgetfulness, having drunk the soup of Lady Meng. Unexpectedly, I was able to see the light of day again today. All these years plagued by illness, I have never felt such a light and refreshing sensation.”
While the Old Lady’s words expressed her gratefulness for escaping death, they also revealed her newfound cherish for life.
The Young Master Tutor’s wife quickly interjected, her tone gentle and urgent, as if a breeze of spring, softly touching every corner of the room, “Mother, your words really distress your children. Your fortune is as endless as a river, how could you easily set foot on the path to the underworld? That gentle fairy, holding the magical herbs, was actually the rare Miracle Doctor—Doctor Su. It was she, with her skillful hands and compassionate heart, who carefully concocted the medicine for you. There’s no such thing as the soup of Lady Meng, it was just a fright.”
“You’re finally awake, truly a blessing from heavens, making a huge weight lift off your child’s chest. During these days, your daughter-in-law has been worried day and night, fearing for you…”
At this point, tears welled up in the eyes of the Young Master Tutor’s wife, her genuine feelings flowing like the babbling brook outside the window, pure and deep.

Ever since she stepped into the gates of Lin Mansion, only the Old Lady had treated her like a jewel in the palm, with utmost care. This affection, transcending blood ties, was like the warm sun of spring, heating every inch of her soul.
During the critical illness of the Old Lady, she was frantic, hardly tasting food or finding sleep, but now seeing the old lady awake, her indescribable joy and relief turned into tears, quietly falling.
“Oh? Doctor Su? Who is this paragon? How come I haven’t seen her?”
The Old Lady, curious and a bit puzzled, scanned her surroundings with those wise eyes that had weathered many years.
