Transmigration: Space-Aided Rise to Power and Prosperity-Chapter 798 - 634: Driven Out of the Estate

"Oh dear! Doctor, my young lady has caught a cold and has been in a stupor. Tell me, can this illness be cured?"

A high-pitched female voice came from outside the door, and as soon as she finished speaking, she entered the room.

Mrs. Gao was furious at these words, her anger reaching a boiling point. She looked at Mrs. Lian, who had just walked in, wishing she could devour her alive.

But Mrs. Lian didn’t take Mrs. Gao seriously. As the stewardess by the lady’s side, engaging with Mrs. Gao would lower her own status.

Moreover, she was here on the lady’s orders to handle matters, and there was no time to dally.

Her gaze lingered on Doctor Li for a long time, waiting for him to speak.

Previously, Steward Sun must have relayed the lady’s words to the doctor. Being from a small clinic, he should have been frightened enough to know not to get involved.

"Mrs. Lian! The young lady has only caught a cold; she’ll recover in just a few days. Are you cursing the young lady by saying such things?"

Mrs. Gao was very annoyed with Mrs. Ke’s actions. Ever since the lady became pregnant, she has been even harsher on the young lady than before, scrutinizing everything.

Mrs. Gao felt it was unfair for the young lady. The young lady would eventually marry out, so why was the lady making things difficult for her?

If she didn’t like her, she could just leave her be. Once the young lady got married, she wouldn’t be a bother anymore.

Before the lady became pregnant, Old Master Liang took some care of the young lady.

Now that the lady was pregnant, even Old Master Liang asked the young lady to be tolerant, lest the lady became agitated and affected the baby.

The young lady fell into the water after exchanging a few words with the fourth miss of the second house, Yao Mengdie. To think the fourth miss would be so malicious to push her into the lake, this family was indeed heartless.

And yet, the master and the lady ignored the incident and didn’t stand up for the young lady.

She didn’t understand why the second house behaved this way; what about the dignity of the main house?

The lady, being pregnant, became increasingly capricious, not even bothering with appearances anymore.

She wondered if the lady would still be so arrogant if she gave birth to a girl.

It’s a pity that even the young master is heartless, not caring for his own sister, while the young wife follows the lady around, flattering her daily.

Now that Mrs. Ke was pregnant, she wondered how the young wife would manage in the future.

"Sigh! Mrs. Gao, the young lady’s illness has been dragged on for quite a while. These past few days, even the old lady’s health has been unwell, and our lady has been dizzy. We can’t let these two catch the illness too. I hope you understand, old sister."

Mrs. Lian knew the legitimate daughter of the main house was having a difficult time. If she revealed the lady’s intentions, Mrs. Gao would certainly hate her.

But everyone serves their own master. Since she worked for the lady, she had to complete her tasks properly.

"Doctor! What do you say about my young lady’s illness? Does she need rest?"

Mrs. Lian looked steadily at Doctor Li, her eyes full of threat, which Doctor Li noticed clearly. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Doctor Li was in a bit of a bind. Mrs. Lian’s earlier remarks suggested they wanted to expel the young lady from the mansion, either to a nunnery or an estate, sending her far away.

If he said it was just a cold and didn’t need leaving the mansion, Mrs. Lian and her master likely wouldn’t spare his clinic.

Yet telling the truth would also lead to trouble.

As Doctor Li was caught in a dilemma, a soft cough came from behind the bed curtain.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Gao was overjoyed.

"Has the young lady woken up?" Mrs. Gao lifted a bit of the bed curtains to look at the pale face on the bed.

Lianxin and Qing Dai were also overjoyed and rushed forward to look at the girl lying on the bed.

Doctor Li quietly stepped out, sighing to himself that this might not end well.

The pill’s effect was indeed good; she was awake now. With the pill keeping her alive, she could recover with some care after detoxification.

However, Mrs. Lian had to be deceived a bit, lest his clinic got involved and caused trouble for his apprentice.

After some thought, he turned back into the room and, under Mrs. Lian’s scrutinizing gaze, put on a surprised expression.

"Eh? Why did she fall asleep again?" Mrs. Gao exclaimed as she saw the girl, who had just opened her eyes, close them again.

"This madam, she wasn’t really awake just now, let me take her pulse again," said Doctor Li.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Gao quickly let the bed curtains down.

Doctor Li was performing for Mrs. Lian; he hadn’t had time to prescribe yet, only managing to feed the pill.

There was no way Mrs. Lian would suspect the pill’s miraculous effects, so he could stall a bit longer.

"The young lady needs rest; it’s merely a cold. Allow me to prescribe a remedy to dispel it," said Doctor Li.

While Doctor Li started writing the prescription at the table, Mrs. Gao watched with a concerned look.

The doctor had previously intended to prescribe for detoxification, but with Mrs. Lian present, fearing for himself, he naturally didn’t dare, leaving her young lady’s situation uncertain.

Doctor Li, worried that prescribing for detox would make those in the mansion suspicious, honestly wrote a prescription for treating a cold.

Doctor Li’s performance pleased Mrs. Lian greatly. She looked at the incense burner on the table, indeed burning Suhe Fragrance.

Whether the doctor lacked skill or was afraid of offending the Duke Mansion, the result was still satisfactory.

When Doctor Li finished writing, Mrs. Lian took the prescription to examine it. Being familiar with medicine due to preparing medicinal dishes for the lady, she recognized a few familiar remedies for colds, reassuring her, and returned the prescription.

"Mrs. Gao, don’t blame the lady for being harsh. It’s just that the young lady isn’t getting better, and for everyone’s health, she must be sent to the estate for recovery. Besides, it’s quieter there than in the noisy mansion," said Mrs. Lian, finally revealing her purpose.

The movement of Doctor Li packing the medicine box paused for a moment, then he continued calmly.

"Mrs. Lian, why rush? The estate is quite simplistic. Perhaps you could ask the lady to wait a few days, and if there’s no improvement, we’ll consider the estate. How does that sound?"

Mrs. Gao spoke with a feigned smile, gritting her teeth as she faced Mrs. Lian.

"What? Old sister, don’t make things difficult for me!" Mrs. Lian obviously refused to give in.

"The other day, Old Master Liang mentioned missing my young lady. Old Master Liang hasn’t even been informed of her illness yet! Who knows how upset he might be?"

Mrs. Gao’s smile was insincere as a flash of fierceness appeared in her eyes.

Mrs. Lian’s smile faltered upon mention of Old Master Liang.

After a pause, she said, "I have to report back to the lady first, and ask for a few more days."

Mrs. Lian inwardly cursed, as this old hag always used Old Master Liang to pressure others.

It was only because of Old Master Liang that her lady dared not go too far.
