Chapter 377: Reunion with an Old Friend

Meng Qianqian had a wild time for a day and a night, and then slept for another day and night, only regaining her strength by the morning of the third day.

She would never dare to randomly eat anything given by Wanping Princess again; the aftereffects were too strong.

Her body had recovered, but the specific memories of that day and night still needed to be slowly pieced together.

It wasn't the part where she forced herself on him, but the conversation she had with Lu Yuan.

Did Lu Yuan mention Lu Lingxiao?

And there was also Chu Nan.

Meng Qianqian pressed her forehead, "Hurry up and think, hurry up and think."

"Miss! Miss! Something's happened!"

A panicked voice from outside the door belonged to Banxia.

"Oh dear, Banxia, keep your voice down. The Miss has been resting in her room these past few days. The Young Master instructed that if anything happens, you should find him," Wan Mumu said.

Banxia replied anxiously, "But finding the Young Master won't help, he's not a doctor!"

Meng Qianqian opened the door, "Who's sick? Changle or Wuyou?"

Banxia said, "It's the Second Miss! Miss, what's wrong with you? Wan Mumu said you were resting... Are you sick too?"

Although she was concerned about Miss Changle, her primary worry was still Meng Qianqian.

"I'm fine," Meng Qianqian said, "I'll go and see Changle. First, tell me about her condition."

She stepped out of the room.

Banxia quickly entered and brought a cloak, "Miss, put on this cloak first."

"Okay, I'll do it myself."

Meng Qianqian tied the silk belt of the cloak as she hurried outside.

Banxia followed her, "Yesterday afternoon, the Second Miss played in the snow with the Young Master for a while. During dinner, she coughed a couple of times. The Second Miss said she choked, and I should have been more alert then... Last night, the Second Miss said she was cold, so I added a quilt and a fire basin. But this morning, she developed a high fever."

"I understand," Meng Qianqian said as she entered Shang Changle's room.

Shang Changle was lying in bed, her lips pale and her face flushed, breathing heavily.

Shang Wuyou stood guard at her bedside with a grave expression, his eyebrows furrowed.

Meng Qianqian said to Shang Wuyou, "Wuyou, I'm a doctor. Let me check Changle's pulse."

Shang Wuyou shielded Shang Changle, "Don't touch my sister! I don't trust you!"

Meng Qianqian said, "If you don't trust me, I can ask for the imperial physician from the palace."

Shang Wuyou replied coldly, "The imperial physician? The one you can ask for is naturally your person! She was fine at Thousand-Mechanisms Pavilion, but ever since you abducted her, her health has been declining day by day. You keep saying it's for our own good, but if you truly care about her, send us back to Thousand-Mechanisms Pavilion! If you really need a hostage, I'll stay, but send my sister back!"

Banxia tried to persuade him, "Young Master, the Miss won't harm the Second Miss. She's so ill; you should let her treat the Second Miss first."

Shang Wuyou said, "I'm not your Young Master."

Meng Qianqian frowned, "You mean, she hasn't been well for some time?"

Shang Wuyou replied, "She's had heart palpitations several times."

Meng Qianqian's expression changed, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Shang Wuyou asked suspiciously, "Why should I tell you?"

Meng Qianqian said, "If it were just a common cold, and you didn't let me treat her, she might have been able to endure it herself. But you said she has heart palpitations, which means it's not a minor illness! And she's been unwell for so long, Shang Wuyou, do you want to kill your sister?"

Shang Wuyou said, "I have medicine."

Meng Qianqian asked, "Where is the medicine?"

Shang Wuyou replied, "It's finished. So, do you understand now? We must send my sister back; without the medicine, she'll die!"

Meng Qianqian said, "So, she's had a heart condition since she was young?"

"This little rascal, he speaks in bits and pieces, can't he just say it all at once?" Meng Qianqian spoke in a cold voice, "Listen up, I'll ask, and you answer. Tell me honestly about the illnesses your sister has had since she was young, and don't you dare hide anything!"

Shang Wuyou turned his face away, clearly not wanting to listen.

Meng Qianqian asked, "Banxia, has my maternal grandfather returned to the mansion?"

Banxia replied, "He's back. Do you want to invite the Majestic King over? I'll go right now!"

Meng Qianqian paused and called out, "Tan'er!"

"I know! I'll go and invite the Majestic King, my maternal grandfather!"

Tan'er responded from the neighboring courtyard and left with a bounce.

"Are you going to move aside now, or do you want me to wait until my maternal grandfather comes and beat you up before you move?"

Shang Wuyou was indeed a little afraid of the Majestic King.

He had only dared to be so bold with Meng Qianqian because he had heard that the Majestic King wasn't at the mansion these past few days.

Reluctantly, he moved to the side.

Meng Qianqian approached the bed.

Shang Wuyou moved closer, "Even if he kills me, I won't let my sister out of my sight."

Meng Qianqian replied, "As you wish."

She wasn't planning to do anything to Shang Changle, so it didn't matter if he watched.

Meng Qianqian took Shang Changle's pulse, then lifted her eyelid to examine her pupil, and finally pried open Shang Changle's mouth to inspect her tongue coating.

"Miss, how is the Second Miss? Is it serious?"

Banxia asked softly.

After taking care of Shang Changle for several days, she had grown fond of her.

Shang Changle was humble and didn't make things difficult for her servants. She was a kind and gentle young lady.

Shang Wuyou scoffed, "You didn't see anything, right? How can your medical skills possibly compare to the doctors of the Thousand-Mechanisms Pavilion?"

Meng Qianqian didn't argue with him but instead instructed Banxia, "Ask Manager Cen to go to the Thousand Petals Tower and invite Madam Yan over."

"Yes, Miss."

Banxia hurried off.

Meng Qianqian placed Shang Changle's hand back under the blanket and tucked her in, "Now you can tell me, what illnesses has your sister had, and what discomforts does she have?"

After Chancellor Xun's downfall, the Thousand Petals Tower's business suffered a severe blow, and these past few days, hardly anyone dared to visit.

Madam Yan sat alone in her room, practicing the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles.

"Madam, someone from the Duke's Mansion is here," a servant reported.

"I won't see them," Madam Yan replied.

The servant said, "It's Manager Cen."

Madam Yan slammed the table and shouted, "I said I won't see anyone!"

The servant was startled, "Yes, I'll go and send them away right away!"

Madam Yan suddenly had a thought and stopped him, "Wait, ask him who sent him here."

After a while, the servant returned to Madam Yan, "Madam, Manager Cen from the Duke's Mansion said that Lady Lu sent him to invite you."

Madam Yan put down the silver needle, "Prepare the carriage."

Half an hour later, two carriages stopped at the entrance of the Duke's Mansion.

Manager Cen stepped down from the carriage and personally went to lift the curtain of Madam Yan's sedan chair, but Madam Yan got down by herself.

She stood on the cold stone bricks, looking up at the grand plaque above, a complex expression flashing in her eyes, "Lead the way."

Manager Cen smiled and offered a mask with both hands, "Miss said that it's your old friend, please wear this mask."

Madam Yan said, "It's not necessary."

Manager Cen had no choice but to take back the mask and led her to the Dragon and Phoenix Twins' courtyard.

When Madam Yan saw Shang Wuyou and Shang Changle, she suddenly understood why Meng Qianqian had asked her to wear the mask.

At that moment, Shang Wuyou also saw her, "Elder Yan?"

Is the second watch here? Is it fast? Any votes?
