A Midnight Visit

  Arrival in Another World 054, Night Visit

  Wang Lao Han didn't know what medicine Su Liang Wei was selling in her gourd, but he still answered honestly, "Liang Wei young lady, the master has gone to Dong Ning City, and naturally, Doctor Li also followed him."

  Su Lianwei had expected this. "Isn't there another doctor in the mansion?"

  The old man shook his head, "I don't know about this."

  Lao Ma Tou saw Su Lian Wei couldn't find the person she was looking for and felt a bit worried.

  But Su Lianwei was still calm, took out the copper coins and smiled, "Uncle Wang, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you again, I still need to see Liu Mama." The money that was originally thought to be saved now seemed to have to be spent.

  Wang Lao Han nodded in agreement, took the money and went inside to find the maid. Before a short while, Liu Mama hurried out with some fear.

  When I saw Su Lianwei, I was stunned for a moment and almost didn't recognize her. Not having seen her for several days, how did she become so thin?

  Lianyi smiled faintly and pulled Liu's mother aside, starting to ask which doctors usually treated Mr. Li on a daily basis. Liu's mother saw that this topic wasn't very sensitive, so she gradually relaxed her guard.

  Liu's mother nodded in satisfaction after extracting the information she wanted from Liu's words. Originally, Liu's mother had put down her guard, but now her heart was raised again. While others might find Su Lianyue's gentle smile pleasing to the eye, Liu's mother found it even more terrifying than a demon.

  She took out ten taels of silver and stuffed them into Liu's mother's hands, "Liu's mother, rest assured, I, Su Lianwei, am not a person who burns bridges after crossing the river. No matter what happens in the future, you will be safe."

  With her words, Liu's mother finally put her heart at ease. She nervously accepted the silver and said, "En, Miss Lian, I believe what you say." After speaking, she herself was puzzled, why should she believe the notorious Su Lian?

  "It's getting late, Liu Mama should rest now. I'll come visit you again when I have time." Lianyi smiled and held Liu Mama's hand, sending her off to the back door.

  Liu's mother took a nervous glance and muttered something under her breath before hastily entering through the back door.

  Wang Lao Han was greatly surprised, because at this time, even he could see that Liu Mama was afraid of Su Liang Yu. How is this possible? The red person beside the lady, who can also summon the wind and rain in the Li Mansion, how can she be afraid of Su Liang Yu?

  Lianyi took out a two-tael piece of silver and handed it to Old Man Wang, "Uncle Wang, take this. I heard your son is also getting married soon, there are many places where you'll need money."

  Su Liangwei's words were reasonable and touching, so Wang Lao Han thought for a moment before gratefully accepting it.

  The rear gate of the Li mansion closed softly, the moonlight was bright and clean, the evening wind blew the dense trees beside it rustling, just like when they first arrived, as if the rear gate of the Li mansion had never been opened.

  Ripples drilled into the donkey cart.

  "Ripples girl, what are we going to do next?" Old Horse Head asked.

  "Go to Liu's Alley in the south of the city, opposite the big rice and grain store, there is a black iron gate with two large stones in front of it, go to that house." said Lianyi.

  Lao Ma didn't know what his purpose was, but Lin Wei did things accurately, so he drove the carriage towards the south of the city.

  These days, Lingyu has been in close contact with Chuyue, and she also has a good understanding of the situation in Luan Guo. Indeed, Luan Guo is currently in a state of turmoil, with vassal kings rebelling and princes fighting for the throne. The safest place would probably be a primitive village like Su Jia Cun. Although the big cities appear calm on the surface, they are actually full of hidden dangers and undercurrents.

  The city distribution of the country of Luan, generally is East rich West noble, North humble South poor. Rich means rich people; Noble means officials. Humble refers to those who engage in humble occupations, usually actors or courtesans; Poor refers to ordinary commoners.

  In less than a stick of incense time, the donkey cart stopped. "Lianyi, we're here." Old Ma said in a low voice.

  "Alright, thanks for your hard work, Uncle Ma." With that, Lianyi came out of the carriage, got off the car, looked back at the rice shop, and then looked at the black iron gate with two large stones. After confirming everything was correct, she went forward to knock on the door.

  Lao Ma didn't know what Su Liang and Liu Mama were talking about, nor did he know who she was looking for, so he curiously watched from the side.

  A dog barked inside the house, and immediately a small oil lamp was lit in the dark little house. "Who is it?" A woman's voice came from inside the house. "Why aren't you sleeping at midnight? Who's knocking on the door?"

  With a gentle tone, "I'm here on behalf of Liu's mother with some urgent matters to discuss with Liu Chuangbei."

  As soon as she heard it was Liu's mother, the woman inside hurriedly opened the door and took a fright when she saw Su Lianying. Whose daughter is this? She has grown so tall, but yet doesn't give off a rough feeling, very elegant and dignified, indeed worthy of being from the Li household.

  Ripples entered inward, and the black iron gate closed.

  Liu Chuanbei is fifteen years old this year, and is the nephew of Liu's mother. Through connections, he entered the Li household and became a medicine boy apprentice to the great doctor of the Li household. Now that he has contracted a cold, he is afraid of infecting Old Master Li, so he was sent home to rest and recover.

  Liu's mother introduced her nephew to Su Lianwei. Firstly, she knew that Lianwei was a fat sheep and the fat water wouldn't flow into someone else's field, so her nephew would definitely benefit from it. Secondly, this way was easier to control, if anything happened, at least her own family members wouldn't leak it out.

  It can be seen from this matter that at this time, Liu's mother was already helpless against Su Liangwei.

  Liu Chuanbei got out of bed and quickly put on his outerwear. "Aunt is looking for me with something?" He glanced at Su Lianwei, whose eyes were narrowed, and had never seen her by Aunt's side before.

  Lianyi nodded and took out a hairpin from her bosom, "This is Liu Mama's token, you confirm it first." This was something she had borrowed from Liu Mama on purpose.

  Liu Chuanbei naturally recognized it and said, "This is indeed my aunt's. Do you have any business with me, miss?"

  Ripples smiled, "It's good that you've confirmed it. I have some questions to ask you, just answer me and that's all. These are all agreed upon by Liu Mama beforehand."

  "Alright, young lady, please go ahead and ask your questions." Liu Chuangbei hastily said.

  Lianyi followed Liu Chuangbei's guidance and sat down beside the table, "What illness does Master have."

  Liu Chuanbei was astonished by his question, "It is... a congenital deficiency syndrome, heart disease."

  "What's the situation?" Ling asked again.

  "It manifests as palpitations and dizziness, with severe cases leading to a decline in yang energy that fails to spread warmth and transform qi, resulting in cold limbs, pale complexion, dark red cheeks, and purple lips and tongue."

  Ripples slightly furrowed her brow, making it difficult for a Western doctor to understand these things, but she still tried hard to think about this information repeatedly in her mind. "I'll ask you and you answer, did Master Li have a cough besides chest tightness and shortness of breath?"

  "Yes."

  "Is it a dry cough or a cough with phlegm?" Lingling continued to ask.

  "Cough up phlegm." Liu Chuanbei replied.

  "Is it purulent sputum or bloody sputum?"

  "It seems like it's not blood inside, but it's slightly red."

  "But pink bubbles?"

  Liu Chuanbei nodded, "Right, it's pink bubbles."

  Ling Yu nodded and continued to ask, "Have you ever fainted?"

  "Yes."

  "Is there chest tightness or severe pain? If so, how often?"

  "Some people used to be fine before, but now they only feel pain when they fall ill. However, this time the pain is frequent and severe."

  "Are there swellings in the limbs?"

  "Yes."

  "Is it swollen badly?"

  "This time he's really swollen badly."

  "How is nighttime sleep? Can you lie flat?"

  "No, often due to shortness of breath, unable to fall asleep, every night, can't help but open doors and windows."

  "How's your pulse? When taking it, what's the approximate frequency, do you know?"

  "The pulse is sinking..."

  "No, I didn't mean that, but rather, is it urgent?"

  "Hurry up."

  The two of them asked and answered like this, and before they knew it, an hour had passed.
