The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 543: Confused and Muddled

Seeing Lin Shuo enter, Madam Hou’s eyes suddenly lit up with joy. She warmly approached and grabbed Lin Shuo’s hand, "Ah Shuo, you’re back?"

"Have you eaten?"

She instructed the maid, "Quick, have the kitchen make the sesame oil fried chicken and braised mandarin fish that Ah Shuo likes."

Lin Shuo slowly withdrew his hand and after a moment, gently called, "Mother, I’ve already eaten."

Madam Hou widened her eyes, "You just finished school, how have you already eaten? Where did you eat?"

Lin Shuo looked into Madam Hou’s eyes, "Mother, I am already twenty years old, I haven’t been in school for years."

Madam Hou slightly parted her lips, "Ah? How come I don’t remember?"

"No, wait, you’re not Ah Shuo, Ah Shuo is only seven, who are you? How are you in my room?"

Hearing her incoherent words, Lin Shuo knew he couldn’t continue the conversation.

He asked the maid, "Is the medicine ready?"

The maid replied, "Yes, it’s being kept warm on the stove."

Lin Shuo said in a deep voice, "Pour the medicine, I’ll feed it to the Madam."

The maid quickly went out and soon returned with a bowl of dark herbal medicine.

Madam Hou retreated repeatedly, "What is this, take it away!"

"Have you taken the benefits of that vile woman, wanting to poison me?"

Lin Shuo motioned for the maid to hold Madam Hou down on the seat, took the bowl, scooped a spoonful with a ladle, and brought it to Madam Hou’s mouth, softly saying, "Mother, I am Ah Shuo, you are ill, let me feed you the medicine."

Madam Hou stared blankly at Lin Shuo, tears suddenly streaming down, her hands tightly clutching Lin Shuo’s robe, staring unblinkingly at him, obediently opening her mouth to drink the medicine Lin Shuo brought to her lips.

Lin Shuo blew on each spoonful to cool it and fed it to her until the entire bowl was finished, and Madam Hou became drowsy.

Lin Shuo set down the bowl and instructed the maid, "Take good care of her, if anything happens, send someone to call me."

Leaving the yard, Lin Shuo walked and pondered, realizing that his mother’s condition had been intermittent for a year, and despite taking the Imperial Physician’s medicine, there was no improvement. It seemed necessary to invite Doctor Gu to take a look.

Early the next morning, Lin Shuo headed to the Duke Mansion.

He first submitted his card, and after the servant announced his arrival, led Lin Shuo to Yongning Yard.

After listening to Lin Shuo’s explanation of his visit, Jiang Youzhi accompanied him to the guest courtyard.

Gu Yunjiao had been at leisure these days and was sitting in her room reading.

The maid came in and saluted, "The Young Master is here, saying he has something to discuss with you."

Gu Yunjiao put down her book and went out, seeing Lin Shuo as soon as she reached the hall.

She smiled, "Brother Lin, what brings you here."

Lin Shuo cupped his hands to her, "I came specially to seek Doctor Gu’s help."

Gu Yunjiao laughed, "What help, we’re like family, just tell me, as long as it’s something I can do."

Lin Shuo glanced at the maids in the hall, and Jiang Youzhi waved them away.

Only then did Lin Shuo describe Madam Hou’s symptoms.

Gu Yunjiao pondered for a while, "The illness began about a year ago, was she under great stress at that time?"

Lin Shuo nodded bitterly.

Gu Yunjiao thought for a bit, "Okay, I’ll fetch my medical kit and go with you to take a look."

She went in and brought out her medical kit, Lin Shuo quickly took it, and Jiang Youzhi hesitated to follow, considering it was a medical visit, and with his current status, suddenly going to Wu’an Hou Mansion would surely alert Marquis Wu’an, causing trouble.

Jiang Youzhi saw Gu Yunjiao off to the carriage, instructing Lin Shuo to make sure to escort her back personally.

Lin Shuo nodded, even if Jiang Youzhi hadn’t said it, he would personally bring her back.
