Chapter 44: The So-Called Nightmare

  "It's not like we can invite a doctor from the imperial court! What are we going to do? The ones who can make decisions in the front courtyard are probably all on Li Cai's side." Ah Yuan stomped her foot anxiously.

  In Li Cui's courtyard, when Fourth Master arrived, the imperial physician had already finished examining her.

  "Pay respects to Fourth Master."

  "How was it?"

  "Going back to what Fourth Master said, Master Li has moved the fetal energy. Fortunately, it was in time, and I have already administered acupuncture. Now, after drinking a few doses of medicine and taking good care, everything will be fine. However, one more incident like this would be disastrous! If there's another episode, it won't be possible to save it!"

  This time, it's all about seeing blood.

  "Grandfather knows, go and get the prescription." Fourth Master frowned.

  "Father." Fu Jin said: "Fortunately, the imperial physician arrived in time. Li saw red and it really didn't look good just now." She was also startled.

  If Li's child were gone, she would be the first to be suspected, even though it was Li herself who had dropped him.

  "What's going on? Where did you fall?" Fourth Master frowned.

  The mansion has been having one thing after another recently. It's already the middle of the first month and Fourth Master is still in high spirits, but there are ghosts.

  "In the garden, she fell down. I've investigated clearly, this matter, it's not others' fault, Li Shi herself stepped on the flower pot and didn't stand firm," said Fu Jin.

  "What does a pregnant woman wear on her feet? Going to the garden to see withered branches in the first month of the lunar calendar?" Fourth Master hummed and walked away.

  "Father..." Li's face was streaked with tears as she called out, her complexion pale, and indeed looked quite pitiful.

  Fourth Master's tone slightly improved: "Since you've moved the fetus, just lie down properly. The servant who serves you is not diligent enough, forty boards for one person! If there's another time, don't need to live."

  Li did not dare to plead for his own people and had no choice but to agree.

  She herself is in the wrong.

  Fourth Master comforted him for a few words and then came out.

  As soon as he came out, he saw a slave kneeling in front of Madame Fu, and upon closer inspection, it was Ye Shi's.

  Fourth Master got angry, and Ye Shi wasn't being obedient either? Just came back and dared to show off?

  To mention Cefujin's fetal movement, even a concubine wouldn't have the qualifications to attend.

  "What's going on?" At this time, Fourth Master was like a firecracker. If he said that Ye Shi was being redundant and called the servant to take a look, then in the future, there would be no need to go see her again.

  "According to what the girl said, after Madam Ye returned, she fainted and now looks not quite well. I don't dare disturb you, sir, so I thought of calling the doctor from the mansion to take a look." said Fu Jin.

  "What's going on! Call the imperial physician to go first." Fourth Master frowned, although unhappy, but Ye Zao was ill, not intentionally showing off, and also forgivable.

  However, he still said to Su Peisheng: "You go take a look."

  I really fainted, forget it, this illness thing, people can't control it.

  But if it's fake, Ye Shi will never be okay!

  If she wasn't clever enough to compete with Li for favor, then she would be dead! Fourth Master wouldn't deal with her, but now that she's in favor, after doing something stupid, the women in the backyard will stir up trouble and kill her. Fourth Master still doesn't want to see this happen. Moreover, it's his own beloved woman, he doesn't want her to do this.

  Su Peisheng understood in his heart and hastily responded with a "yes" before leaving.

  However, he didn't believe Ye Zao was so foolish and suspected that she had really fallen ill.

  As expected, after seeing Ye Zao, Su Peisheng was also taken aback. He thought to himself, "Just a moment ago everything was fine, how could it suddenly become like this?" This... is a bit strange.

  "What's wrong with you girls?" Su Peisheng asked, and it was really unbearable to see Ye Zao on the couch.

  Her face turned deathly pale and transparent, just a moment ago she was a lovely young girl.

  "Old Master, our young lady has returned. She said she was tired and lay down, and that's how I found her when I came in. I'm wondering if she's having a nightmare?" In ancient times, having nightmares while sleeping was a big deal.

  It's sometimes fatal.

  "Go and see if the imperial physician has arrived." Su Peisheng frowned.

  He knew in his heart that Fourth Master still cared about this person, although he looked a bit annoyed.

  But if he really disliked him, he wouldn't have called him over this time.

  Isn't direct sentencing more convenient?

  So Su Peisheng didn't dare to be careless anymore.

  The doctor arrived quickly and after examining him, also agreed with this statement, what else could be said?

  This is obviously frightening.

  "The old master's words are indeed a nightmare. It's better that the young lady is asleep, so she won't be frightened," said the imperial physician.

  "Alright, you write the prescription, I'll go back and tell Master." Su Peisheng said.

  Heart says, Fourth Master knows, but is afraid it's going to be called Imperial Physician.

  Su Peisheng replied just as Fourth Master had returned to the front yard.

  "Has he fallen asleep? He went back and fell asleep right away?" Fourth Master exclaimed in surprise.

  "Look, Ah Yuan said that the girls had just fallen asleep when they suddenly sat up, their fingernails were all broken and bloody. It seemed like they had struggled in their dreams." Su Peisheng could see it too, the bloodstains on Ye Zao's left hand hadn't been cleaned off yet.

  Fourth Master is calm and collected, but listening to it also makes one feel a little unbearable.

  "Let's go take a look, no need to let Dongyuan know." At this time, Li Shi knew that Ye Shi was also ill and feared that she would have to bear the grudge.

  Su Peisheng let out a sigh and he and his servant turned from the west small gate towards Jin Yu Ge.

  In the quiet and peaceful Jade Pavilion, Ye Zao had not yet woken up. After the imperial physician wrote a good prescription, there was nothing else to do.

  "Pay respects to Master Fourth!" Ah Yuan and Ah Ling hurriedly knelt down upon seeing Master Fourth arrive.

  Fourth Master grunted and walked over to take a look at Ye Zao.

  She raised an eyebrow at a glance: "Did you girls have nightmares in the past?"

  "As for Master's words, I've been here all this time and haven't seen Miss have a nightmare." said Ah Yuan.

  Song Da Niang also hurriedly said: "This old slave has never seen the young lady have a nightmare. This old slave was originally in Jin Yu Ge from the beginning."

  Fourth Master grunted: "Is it serious?" He was asking the imperial physician.

  "It's not too serious for Master Ziyu, the young lady was just frightened, a few doses of medicine will be fine."

  "Are you sure?" Fourth Master stared at the imperial physician.

  The imperial physician was no fool either and hastily knelt down: "I dare to guarantee it!" The meaning of this was also clear, the Fourth Master did not intend to call a doctor.

  "That's good, I'll leave her in your care. If you can't cure her, you'd better come and see me yourself."

  "Grandpa..."

  Just then, Ye Zao woke up.

  Fourth Master sat beside her: "Awake?"

  Ye Zao stared blankly at Fourth Master, somewhat disoriented and unsure of where he was. The "grandfather" he had just called out was purely a conditioned reflex.

  "Fourth Master? Are you Fourth Master?" Ye Zao's voice was somewhat low and depressed.

  "Miss, you're being impudent! How can you speak to Master like that?" Su Peisheng reminded with a smile.

  If it were someone else, he would have been scolded.

  Ye Zao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly sat up and rushed into Fourth Master's arms: "Master, Fourth Master!"

  Fourth Master frowned, but thinking that she was also frightened, he hugged her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

  Seeing this, Su Peisheng hurriedly beckoned for everyone to leave and closed the door.

  "Don't be afraid, things in dreams are all fake. I'm here." Fourth Master patted Ye Zao's back.

  Ye Zao didn't know what he was saying, and just nodded: "Grandfather... are you Fourth Grandfather? Are you?"
