Chapter 567: Chapter 567 Improvement of Illness (1)_1

The three of them racked their brains for a long time but couldn’t find any leads. Seeing that the business upstairs was about to conclude, Panpan resignedly stamped her foot, "I’ll go up and watch over things. Otherwise, Lin Siyu will get suspicious. Sister Yingtao, after you go back, discuss this with Mrs. Liu, and remember to keep it a secret at all costs. If the word gets out prematurely, I’m afraid all of our lives will be at stake."

Ying Tao understood the gravity of the situation very well, "Don’t worry, we won’t let anything slip. Go ahead and get upstairs."

Panpan nodded, hurried off, and on her way in, she didn’t forget to buy a handful of fried peanuts at the doorway stall as a cover.

Shen Dajun, like Mrs. Liu, was an honest person, completely unaccustomed to think intricately. Seeing Panpan leave, he quietly asked Ying Tao, "Ying Tao, can we trust this young girl?"

Ying Tao nodded, "I believe her. It was her who sent me the message last time when Mrs. Liu had a miscarriage, leading me to seek out Lady Jin. Without her, Mrs. Liu would have been gone that day."

Shen Dajun’s heart ached at the thought of Mrs. Liu’s past sufferings, and he, a grown man, suddenly burst into tears, squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, violently banging his head, "I blame myself, it’s all my fault! If I had been more competent, and provided Mrs. Liu’s brother-in-law with five taels of silver, she wouldn’t have been sold to Chunfeng Building or redeemed into the Li Mansion by that dog official Li Chang, and she wouldn’t have suffered so much. It’s all because of my incompetence!"

Seeing Shen Dajun like this, Ying Tao shook her head. Shen Dajun was indeed a man of deep affection, who had grown up with Mrs. Liu with profound feelings for her. Even after Mrs. Liu entered the brothel and became pregnant, he never despised her; he faithfully kept vigil outside, waiting for the day he could save enough money to redeem her.

However, fate was cruel, and before he could save up enough silver, Mrs. Liu was already bought by Li Chang with a silver note to become a Little Concubine in the mansion. Shouldn’t Shen Dajun give up hope by now? But he didn’t. Every day after work, he lingered at the gates of Li Mansion, just for a chance to catch a glimpse of Mrs. Liu. Later, when he heard from someone that Little Concubines were the most despised in a household, he gave all the silver he earned to her.

What woman wouldn’t cherish such a devoted and affectionate man? Yet such a pair of ill-fated lovers had to endure so many hardships and dangers.

Ying Tao looked up to the sky and prayed silently, Oh Heaven, please open your eyes. The wicked live carefree lives, while the good endure endless trials. If possible, please bless Mrs. Liu and Shen Dajun, let this pair of star-crossed lovers be together!

Because she had been administering acupuncture to Jeng Ruyue, Xiao Linshuang had hardly been home in the past month. Fortunately, time flew by, and soon it was Lin Yuan’s little brother’s full-month celebration. It also marked the end of a month’s acupuncture treatment for Jeng Ruyue.

Lao Fan closed his eyes, conducting the pulse diagnosis for Jeng Ruyue. Although it took a very long time, no one among Lin Yuan’s group urged him, their faces however, betrayed their anxiousness and unease.

Even Jeng Ruyue herself was a bit nervous. Last time when Lao Fan conducted her pulse diagnosis, she was somewhat indifferent, but over the past month, she felt that there was something different about her body, although she couldn’t pinpoint what it was. Hence, deep down, she hoped that the acupuncture sessions hadn’t been in vain.

Finally, Lao Fan let out a soft sigh and withdrew his hand from Jeng Ruyue’s wrist.

Hearing his sigh, everyone’s heart sank. Could it be that the outcome was not optimistic?

Liu Siqi felt his hands trembling. He urgently grasped his wife’s hand and cautiously asked, "Divine Doctor, how is Ru Yue? Is her condition not very good?"
