“Yes it has been three days since the onset, but the symptoms weren’t severe in the first two days. The young master said he was alright and would get better after some rest. However, his condition suddenly worsened last night, and he lost consciousness.” Xiaobei looked both anxious and worried.

If only he had known this would happen, he should have asked the manager to find a doctor for the young master right away!

“Let’s go, 1’11 accompany you to find the manager,” Wei Ruo stood up and began to head outside.

She and Wei Jinyi weren’t very familiar with each other. Given the situation in the Wei Family, it would not be suitable for her to reveal too much about her medical skills.

It is always better to delegate issues that can be addressed by familiar faces in the household themselves.

The current manager of the Wei Residence’s backyard was Stewardess Li, who usually lived in a room adjacent to Wangmei Garden.

Xiaobei knocked on the door, but the residents of Wangmei Garden ignored his plea. When Wei Ruo knocked, they reluctantly opened it after some hesitation. “Miss, what brings you here at this late hour?” Cuihe cautiously inquired Wei

Ruo.

“Where are your parents?” Wei Ruo asked Cuihe directly, seeking the whereabouts of stewardess Li.

“She’S… She’s in the room on the west…” Cuihe nervously replied.

The fact that a servant like Li was allowed to reside in such rooms shows her remarkable status within the Wei Family.

Wei Ruo didn’t bother to argue with Cuihe and instead headed straight for the west room. She knocked for quite some time before the door finally opened. A disgruntled Stewardess Li appeared, “Miss, if you have anything to discuss, it can wait till morning. What’s the proper decorum for raising a racket at this late hour?”

“This is a matter of life and death! You don’t care if I am shouting or not! The second young master has slipped into unconsciousness, if he dies, would you be able to bear the consequences?” Wei Ruo questioned.

-He was fine during the day, how did he become unconscious by night? The second young master always seemed healthy to me. Why would he faint all of a sudden⁷ Don’t create unnecessary drama, it’s not a serious illness, and it won t make any difference if the doctor was invited tomorrow morning. Where would I find a doctor in the dead of night?”

■■Of course, you’d go to the medical hall!” Wei Ruo pulled Stewardess Li out of

the house.

At this Li’s anger flared, “How dare you! You have no respect for elders! I came from the Earl Residence, even the Madam has to show me some respect. You dare to drag me like this!”

-Even with seniority, you are but a stewardess! And regardless of how the second young master is disliked, he is still the master! I ask you to get a doctor for the master, and you throw tantrums! And you have the audacity to say you are a respected stewardess from the Earl Residence! I demand to know where your manners have gone?” Wei Ruo exclaimed.

Normally, Wei Ruo would tolerate people putting up airs in front of her, but when it came to matters of life and death, her temper flared uncontrollably.

“HOW dare you! I will not fetch a doctor today! See what you can do about it!” Stewardess Li stood arrogantly with her chest puffed up.

The noise was loud enough to wake Wei Qingwan.

Seeing Wei Ruo dragging Li, Wei Qingwan rushed over anxiously and protested, “Sister, what are you doing? The old lady is frail, you should not drag her like this, it’s dangerous!”

When nobody paid her any heed, she attempted to intervene and separate Wei Ruo and Li.

At this moment, Li, who was extremely angry, felt someone tugging her and pushed without realizing that it was Wei Qingwan.

Wei Qingwan was pushed onto the ground.

Upon seeing Wei Qingwan fallen on the ground, Li quickly regained her senses and hurriedly helped her up.

“Miss, how are you feeling?”

“Stewardess… My foot… My foot hurts a lot…” Wei Qingwan grimaced and looked at her injured foot, her face as pale as a sheet.

Stewardess Li was distraught and immediately instructed her daughter, “Cuihe, hurry! Find the Madam! Inform her that Miss has injured her leg! And tell the gatekeeper Xiaobei to get a doctor from Baohe Hall immediately!” Then with a hard glare at Wei Ruo, Stewardess Li hissed, “See what trouble you’ve caused, Miss!”

Wei Ruo, face cold, shrugged and turned away.

She knew there would be no easy resolution to the trouble caused tonight. But the patient at the Yingzhu Garden couldn’t wait.

If they waited until the morning to find a doctor, it would be too late.

Wei Ruo returned to Yingzhu Garden, ordering Xiumei to bring her emergency medical kit.

Xiumei hesitated for a moment, gripped Wei Ruo’s hand and asked, “Miss, are you planning to help the second young master yourself?”

“Yes.”

■■But Miss, if the second young master recovers, it will be even more difficult for you to justify what happened in Wangmei Garden tonight! Stewardess Li insists that there’s nothing wrong with the second young master and accuses you of creating a ruckus. How are you going to explain this to the Madam. Xiumei too was aware that the incident tonight would not end well. Her missy was in trouble.

“Even so, I cannot sit by and let a life be lost. If he dies or gets injured, can my innocence be proven? However, if my innocence is proven by endangering a life, it would mean nothing,” Wei Ruo responded with determination. Seeing Wei Ruo’s resolute attitude, Xiumei knew what she had to do.

“1 understand, I will follow your command!” she turned and rushed towards Tingsong Garden to get the medical kit for Wei Ruo.

She knew her missy well. Even though she always uttered that she valued money the most and would not make a deal with a loss, when it came to matters of life and death, she would discard all profits to do what was right. Wei Ruo then ordered Xiaobei to fetch cold water and a towel.

Xiaobei promptly fetched the water.

“Go and remove your master’s blanket and clothes,” instructed Wei Ruo.

“Remove… his clothes?” Xiaobei was taken aback.

“He’s already burning up, if you keep him insulated are you not afraid of cooking him alive? Just do as I say, without any hesitation. Otherwise, your master’s life is in danger!”

“But… but… modesty between the sexes…” Xiaobei hesitated.

“in matters of life and death, do you think it matters? Besides, he is my brother!”

Even if they share different mothers, siblings are siblings!
