The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 790: The Unreliable Doctor

Mrs. Chen held the third girl and cried. Lady Wu, such a wonderful person, and poor San Lang, had just found his mother, and now she’s gone.

At this moment, she realized that in this foreign land, they were like ants, easily crushed at any moment.

Escape! We must escape!

Mrs. Chen cried for a while, then wiped her tears and said to Lin Qiao, who was weeping on the ground, "Go to the front, when the coffin comes, we’ll help with the arrangements."

Lin Qiao got up from the ground, still crying.

Mrs. Chen took the third girl and went to the front yard.

Soon, Granny Tian brought in a doctor carrying a medicine chest.

Mrs. Chen followed him into the room, watching anxiously as the doctor took Gu Yuheng’s pulse.

The doctor’s fingers rested on Gu Yuheng’s wrist, and he kept shaking his head. Both Mrs. Chen and Hui Xiang were extremely anxious. Mrs. Chen hurriedly asked, "Is his injury serious?"

The doctor continued to shake his head and said, "Hard to say, hard to say."

"The injury has affected his brain. We have to see when he might wake up and whether he has a fever in the coming days."

"I can only prescribe some medicine for the injury. Whether he survives is up to fate."

Hui Xiang was anxious, "How can a doctor be like this?"

The doctor glared, and Mrs. Chen quickly signaled Hui Xiang to stop, "Please go ahead and write a prescription."

In the room, there were conveniently the pen and ink set used by Gu Chuan and the others. The doctor wrote a prescription, tossed the pen aside, and held out his hand, "Consultation fee: two taels of silver."

Hui Xiang wanted to say something but held back. Mrs. Chen handed over the silver and asked Liu Lang to escort the doctor out.

After the doctor left, Hui Xiang couldn’t help but say, "This doctor can’t diagnose anything, yet charges so much for a consultation."

Mrs. Chen waved her hand weakly, "Let it be. We’re in a foreign land, and with Jiao Jiao not here, this is the best doctor we could find."

Hui Xiang wiped her tears, "I want to find the Young Madam."

Mrs. Chen gave a bitter smile, "Where would you go to find her? Even if you find the Prince Mansion, you can’t get in."

As they spoke, Gu Chuan, who was watching by the bed, suddenly shouted, "My father has woken up!"

Mrs. Chen and Hui Xiang rushed over to see.

"Brother Gu, are you alright?"

Gu Yuheng’s head was dizzy and painful. He slowly opened his eyes, seeing a room full of adults and children but not Lady Wu or the first girl, "I’m alright, I’m fine."

"Lady Wu—"

Mrs. Chen covered her mouth, choking with sobs, "She’s gone."

Gu Yuheng closed his eyes, tears welling up at the corners.

Mrs. Chen wiped her tears, "Right, we called a doctor earlier to look at your injuries and he prescribed something. Can you check if this prescription is alright?"

Gu Chuan took the prescription, "I’ll read it for you, father."

Gu Yuheng listened with closed eyes, "This prescription is no good, it’s utter nonsense. I’ll write a new one myself."

"Xiao Chuan, I’ll dictate, you write."

Gu Chuan finished writing the prescription, and Hui Xiang took it, "I’ll go get the medicine."

Mrs. Chen gave her some small pieces of silver, "Be careful when you go out. Try to imitate the local accent when talking to people, so as not to be bullied."

Hui Xiang nodded and went out.

She returned with the medicine just as the cart carrying the coffin stopped at the door.

The soldiers wouldn’t allow the coffin inside, so Cai Ping was trying to reason with them. Hui Xiang quickly slipped some silver, and the door was finally opened to let the two carts carrying the coffins inside.

Mrs. Chen and Lin Qiao, along with the undertaker, arranged Lady Wu and the first girl, placing them into the coffins.

The coffins were about to be taken out by a horse-drawn cart. Gu Yuheng lay in bed unable to get up, and instructed Gu Chuan, "Go kneel before Lady Wu on my behalf and kowtow twice for me as well."
