Chapter 40: Treating Illness

  Du Ming nodded casually at everyone in the circle as a greeting, and the Yun family was shocked.

  Third Uncle spoke up first, "Yun Cai, how did you suddenly get married? Not even a wedding was held. How could the eldest miss of the Yun family get married so quietly?"

  "Yes," a woman next to her said with ill intent, "Besides, this person looks suspicious, Yun Cai, how did you become so casual? You hastily married these people with unknown backgrounds?"

  Another man also said: "Yes, what does this man do? I see a murderous aura on him, not at all like a high-society person. How can the young lady of the Yun family marry someone like that? Why didn't you agree to Young Master Zhang's proposal?"

  Yun Cai listened with a cold face as they mocked Du Ming, but Du Ming didn't care and followed along with their mockery.

  "My marriage is my own business, please don't interfere anymore. Now, please make way for me, I want to go see my mom."

  Everyone saw Yuncai's anger and had no choice but to make way. Yuncai pulled Du Ming's hand towards her mother's bedroom.

  Pushing open the door, Du Ming saw Yun Cai's mother. Yun Mu lay on a large bed, covered with white sheets, with several needles inserted in her hands, connected to various types of nutrient solutions, and many tubes on her body. Next to the bed was a pile of medical equipment.

  The cloud mother in this pile of instruments looks particularly thin and pale, with no blood color on her lips, and weak breathing.

  Yun Cai looked at her mother like that and her nose turned sour, her eyes reddened. She walked a few steps forward and grabbed her mother's hand, "Mom, mom, are you feeling better?"

  Yunmu slowly opened her eyes and said in a low voice: "Is it Xiaocai? Has Xiaocai come back?"

  Yun Cai held back her tears and nodded vigorously, saying: "Yes, it's me, I'm your daughter!"

  Yunmu stretched out her hand and touched Yuncai's head, "Little Cai, how have you been lately? Has anyone bullied you outside?"

  Yun Cai hastily shook her head, "No, I'm fine, and someone is protecting me."

  She turned her head and let Du Ming come over, Du Ming walked over and squatted beside her, Yun Cai said to her mother, "Mom, let me introduce you, this is Du Ming, he's my husband, he has been protecting me all along."

  Yunmu looked at Du Ming for a moment, smiled slightly, "Xiao Cai, you're married, this is really great. I think this young man is a good person, he's worthy of your trust for life, I'm truly happy for you."

  Yun Cai could only nod desperately, Du Ming said softly: "Auntie, I came here today not just to see you, but also to treat your illness."

  Du Ming's words had just finished when a snickering sound came from behind him.

  Everyone in the Yun family followed and stood at the door, watching them. Du Ming said he wanted to treat Yun's mother's illness, and a man immediately sneered: "Yun Cai, the man you chose is really wishful thinking. How serious your mother's illness is, you should be clear yourself, can he cure it?"

  Another woman stepped forward and said, "We are the Yun family after all, we can still afford to hire a doctor, no need for these people with unknown backgrounds to speak out of turn and claim they can cure Mrs. Yun."

  Another man also said: "We've all asked the little doctor to take a look before, and even with the doctor's skills, they said it can't be cured. What makes you think you can cure it?"

  Du Ming simply ignored them and took out his tools from his own bag.

  He furrowed his brow, placed his hand on Yunmu's wrist to take her pulse for a while, then took out a silver needle and gave her a few injections. Soon after, he relaxed his eyebrows, pulled out a piece of paper, scribbled some notes, and handed it to Yuncui, "Go buy these medicines according to this prescription."

  Yun Cai nodded, but wasn't at ease with letting others handle these things, so she personally drove out to buy the medicine back.

  Du Ming got the medicine, crushed it, mixed it in proportion, and used a tool to adjust a cup of medicinal liquid. He fed Yunmu to drink, took some herbal medicine and applied it to her body, then stood up and nodded to Yuncui.

  Yun Cai held her breath and watched Du Ming's movements nervously, seeing him nod she immediately grasped her mother's hand and called out tentatively, "Mom?"

  Yunmu closed her eyes and didn't respond, Yuncai hastily turned around to look at Du Ming, Du Ming gave her a reassuring glance, Yuncai immediately felt at ease, gently picked up her mother's hand and placed it on her face.

  She suddenly felt her mother's icy hand gradually warming up. After a while, Yunmu coughed and opened her eyes.

  "Mom!" Yun Cai exclaimed excitedly, rushing forward.

  Yunmu coughed a few more times and looked at Yuncai with affection, "Little Cai, Mom feels much better now, it seems like the illness is all gone."

  Yun Cai excitedly shed tears and turned back to look at Du Ming, who smiled triumphantly at her.

  Yunmu also looked at Du Ming and said gratefully: "Young man, thank you very much. Our Xiaocai really didn't misjudge you."

  Du Ming smiled faintly and said, "Auntie, you're being polite, this is what I should be doing."

  The pale face of the cloud mother also became rosy, and she regained her strength. She even sat up by herself and pulled out the needles from the back of her hand and the tubes from her body.

  Everyone else in the Yun household was shocked by this scene, and many people's faces showed a flustered expression. Mrs. Yun gently stroked Yun Cai's cheek with her hand, then turned to the others with a cold, hard voice: "What? Ahahahaha, you're not willing to see me recover, are you? You few people took advantage of my illness to bully Xiao Cai, tarnish the reputation of the Yun family, and squander the Yun family's wealth. Did you think I didn't know?"

  Yun Cai was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and looked at the people. The others were also caught off guard and didn't know how to react for a while.

  "Ma'am, you see, when you're ill, our family loses its pillar. It's normal for everyone to be disheartened. As long as you recover, everything will be fine. You should rest first and we'll discuss these family matters later."

  "Hmph," Yun Mu snorted, "Discuss it later? Are you all waiting for me to fall ill again? Today, I will make everything clear!"

  "She pointed at Third Uncle, 'You took advantage of my illness to sell off Moon Dream's shares,' then pointed at another man, 'You sold the company's secrets to our competitors, and you,' she pointed at yet another person, 'You colluded with other directors to ostracize Xiao Cai, trying to squeeze her out of Moon Dream, I'm not wrong about any of this, am I?'"

  What Yún Mǔ said was all true, people were sweating like rain and could only lower their heads without saying a word.

  Yun Cai gazed at them with a scowl, Yun Mu listed the crimes of everyone present one by one, and finally said sternly, "A country has its laws, a family has its rules. These things can't be settled like this. I know what everyone did, and afterwards, everyone will be dealt with according to family law!"
