slave like jade

Chapter 75
"A little sister who came here as a dowry with me is also... the one who rescued me from Qin Xianglou!"

She gritted her teeth and said the words in her mouth, looked up at him quietly, sure enough, there was no surprise in his eyes, she guessed right, he already knew about her being sold to Qin Xianglou!

"Sure!" Mu Lingzhi's brows and eyes were smiling, and she was finally willing to open her heart to herself!

After officially getting Mu Lingzhi's permission, Yu Ruyan was like a bird flying out of the cage, and she didn't want to stay in the palace for a moment. The next morning, when it was still daylight, she got up and went out to find Brother An.

The last time Qin Xianglou said goodbye, it had been a long time since I saw Brother An. Every time Xiaodao came back, he simply said that everything was fine with Brother An so that she should not worry, but she still wanted to see her face to face, and wanted to know more. After escaping from the barracks, what happened to her, and how did she end up in a brothel?

She was full of words waiting to be told to her, and she couldn't wait for the carriage to stop, she couldn't wait to jump out of the carriage, found the small courtyard where she lived, and knocked on the door excitedly.

The courtyard was not closed, and when Yu Ruyan touched it with her hand, it opened by itself. She lifted her foot and walked in. When she saw Xiaodao dancing sword in the courtyard, she couldn't help shouting happily: "Xiaodao, I'm here to see you!"

With her cry, Xiaodao turned around, and when he saw her, a trace of panic flashed across his face, he hurried up to meet her, looked around vigilantly, and asked with concern, "Why is sister out of the house? Are you alone?"

Yu Ruyan pinched his pretty face happily, and smiled mischievously: "From today onwards, I am free, and I can come out of the house to find you and Brother An whenever I have time."

As soon as Brother An was mentioned, Xiaodao's face darkened, and he looked a little flustered, and mumbled: "Sister ran over without saying a word, we were not prepared at all!"

Yu Ruyan looked at the flustered expression on his face sharply, and felt cold, thinking that she hadn't seen Brother An come out after coming here for a while, if it was normal, she would have already flew to her side!
"Where's Brother An?" Yu Ruyan suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart, before she finished speaking, she heard the window of the east room slam shut, and when she looked up, she saw the window of that room was closed tightly. In broad daylight, she still drew the thick curtains, her heart sank with a 'thud', she pushed the knife away and walked towards the house.

When Xiaodao saw her, he quickly stopped her, and said anxiously: "Sister, Brother An just took medicine and fell asleep, why don't you come and see her again some other day!"

"Why sleep so early in the morning!" Yu Ruyan was flustered and flustered. She stared at the knife, stared straight into his eyes and refused to blink, and said coldly, "What happened to Brother An? What did you keep from me?" matter?"

Xiaodao was stared at by her and shrank his neck, but he still refused to let go of his hand. He held her tightly and said, "She really just drank the medicine and fell asleep. My sister will definitely see her when she comes back another day. I will send you off now." go back."

Where would Yu Ruyan believe it?She rushed to the door with a knife in her hand, but the door was firmly locked from the inside. She ran to the window and shouted: "Brother An, it's me, open the door!"

But no matter how she yelled, there was no movement in the room at all. Looking at the dark window, Yu Ruyan's heart couldn't help sinking. She knew that something must have happened to Brother An!

At this moment, suppressed sobs came from the room, and Yu Ruyan was so sad to hear that sob!
Turning around to look at the yard, she turned back and picked up a stool from the yard, gritted her teeth, raised it high and smashed it towards the door——

"Brother An, I must see you today, even if I smash this wall, I will smash you out!"

The loud noise of 'bang bang' alarmed the neighbors nearby, and people came out of the yard one after another. When they saw Yu Ruyan banging on the door, they couldn't help but covered their mouths and noses and moved away, showing disgusted expressions on their faces.

The door was not opened, but there were more and more people onlookers, and the voices of everyone's discussion gradually reached the ears of Yu Ruyan and Xiao Dao. When it slipped, I couldn't even hold the corner of the stool firmly.Seeing Xiaodao, he drew his sword and pointed at the crowd, saying fiercely: "Get out, if you continue to chew your tongues here, I will cut off all your tongues and feed them to the dogs!"

The cold light of the sharp blade frightened the surrounding neighbors to scatter, and the ears were quiet. Yu Ruyan recovered from the shock, and the next second, she mustered up all her strength to pick up the stool and continue to smash the door. However, this time, her hands Before the stool was swung down, the door suddenly opened from the inside!
The door opened suddenly, and the scene inside could not be seen in the dark doorway. At this time, the sky was bright, but the windows of the room were covered with thick curtains, and the inside was as dark as night!
Yu Ruyan couldn't wait to step into the threshold, the air in the room seemed to be very turbid, and there was an unpleasant smell mixed in, she didn't care so much, she ran in three steps at a time, but saw the dark room , only a small candle was burning beside the bed in the inner room, illuminating an inch-wide area beside the bed. In the small halo, a thin and sallow woman sat curled up on the ground beside the bed with unkempt hair and hair. Pressed tightly in his knees, his whole body trembled like a residual leaf in the wind!

Yu Ruyan slowly approached the girl with a shocked expression on her face, she couldn't stop shaking as soon as she touched the girl's hand, Yu Ruyan felt bitter and unspeakable, her eyes were flushed, and she said in a trembling voice: "Brother An, is it you?"

The girl on the ground immediately hid aside when she heard the words. As her body moved, puddles of dirty yellow liquid flowed out from under her body, and a stench immediately filled the entire room.

"Princess, please... please go!"

Brother An's voice was like a broken kite, as if it would be blown away by the wind the next moment.She still refused to raise her head to face Yu Ruyan, and tried her best to hide in the corner.

Yu Ruyan couldn't believe that the innocent and lovely An Ge turned out to be this devastated woman on the ground. She looked at everything in front of her in a daze, as if she had fallen into a terrible dream. She didn't understand how a good An Ge could become this way?
My heart is so sad that I can't breathe. Brother An has been with her since she was re-entered into the palace at the age of eight. She is half a year younger than her, and the two have always depended on each other like sisters. Being punished and beaten, Brother An will bear half of it for her. She even risked her life to protect her escape in Qin Xianglou before. This kindness has been deeply pressed in Yu Ruyan's heart. She always I hope that one day I can live a good life for Brother An, find a good husband for her, and let her live a stable and happy life. Poor look!
Feeling sad, Yu Ruyan's eyes were sore and uncomfortable, she stepped forward and hugged An Ge who was on the ground into her arms, stroked her messy and rough hair, and said sadly: "Brother An, no matter what you become, I will never dislike you, let alone give up on you, you must obey me obediently, I will take you to see a doctor right now, I must cure your illness..."

Brother An struggled to push her away, but Yu Ruyan hugged her tightly, "Brother An, you have to cheer up, there is no obstacle you can't overcome in this world, everything will pass, it will pass..."

Hiding in her arms, Brother An finally couldn't help but burst into tears. After all, she was just a little girl. Although she had suffered a lot by Yu Ruyan's side before, she had never experienced so much like now. The pain was unbearable, especially when Qin Xianglou's people beat the child in her belly, she couldn't bear to live...

Yu Ruyan hugged her quietly all the time, and it took a long time for Brother An's emotions to calm down a little. She stopped crying, covered her face with her hands and said in pain: "Princess, I have become such a shameful person now, I don't want to live anymore. In this world, it's just...just..."

She eagerly clenched Yu Ruyan's hand, staring at Yu Ruyan with her dark eyes, and begged desperately: "Princess, if you really pity me, please take revenge for me and die in vain in my womb." Revenge for my child! I... I don't have the courage to continue living!"

Yu Ruyan was startled when she heard the words, she pulled An Ge outside without saying a word, and was about to go out into the sunshine, An Ge screamed and wanted to run into the house again, Yu Ruyan grabbed her from behind, He dragged her forcefully into the yard, and said ruthlessly, "I won't avenge you. If you want to get justice for yourself and avenge your child, you go by yourself. If you don't live, will the enemy be sad?" ? I am the only one who is sad!"

Brother An's whole body was shocked, and he turned his head very slowly to look at Yu Ruyan, tears rolled down his sallow face one by one, and disappeared in the dust.

For a long time, a trace of despair and resignation flashed in the dark eyes, slowly clenched his skinny hands into fists, gritted his teeth to suppress the trembling of his whole body, and said firmly, "Princess, I——I listen to you!"

Hearing what she said, Yu Ruyan's heart relaxed, she pulled her hand with a bitter smile, her eyes were red, "Be good, I'll boil water for you to take a bath now, and I'll take you to see a doctor after cleaning up! "

Hearing her words, Brother An and Xiaodao were startled, Brother An muttered what to say and then swallowed, hesitating for a moment and then nodded vigorously.Yu Ruyan helped her into the house, opened all the curtains, and opened the windows for ventilation. She asked An Ge to go to bed and lie down, and went to the kitchen to boil water by herself.

Xiaodao sneaked into the kitchen anxiously, saw Yu Ruyan was busy pouring water into the pot, and hurried forward to help, but she knocked her hand away with a spoon.

Yu Ruyan didn't even look at him, her face was gloomy, she poured the water and turned it to the stove to light a fire, Xiao Dao wanted to move forward, but she stared at him and shrank away in fear.

"elder sister······"

"Do not talk to me!"

"Sister, it's really not that I hid it from you on purpose, it's that Brother An himself forbade to tell you, saying that he was afraid of you... afraid that you would be sad and worried!" Xiaodao's obsidian-like pupils were like deer's eyes, looking at Yuru pitifully. Yan, with her pretty faces twisted together, "Sister, don't ignore me, I'm most afraid that you will ignore me!"

"If I hadn't come today, would you have waited until Brother An died of illness before telling me?" Yu Ruyan glared at him angrily, "If that's the case, will my conscience be at ease? I still want to sleep peacefully for the rest of my life Is it? You don't know that in Qin..."

She wanted to tell Xiao Dao that Brother An had rescued her from Qin Xianglou with all his might, but then she thought, if he knew about Qin Xianglou, he might burn Qin Xianglou impulsively!
Xiaodao pinched his ears with both hands and squatted in front of Yu Ruyan, and said dejectedly, "Sister, hit me!"

Yu Ruyan glanced at the pitiful Yu Xiaodao squatting on the ground, angry and funny in her heart, she raised her face and said seriously: "I'll give you a chance to make up for it, do you want it?"

"Yes! As long as my sister forgives me!" Xiaodao jumped up excitedly from the ground when he heard this, and moved his face to Yu Ruyan, rubbing his head against her shoulder, full of joy!
"When Brother An recovers from her illness, you take her back to Qi State, go to Putuo Temple to find my uncle, and ask him to take you in for a while!"

As soon as the words fell, Yu Xiaodao's face changed drastically, he raised his head with a huff, and shouted to Yu Ruyan angrily: "Let's go together, if you stay here, I will never leave!"

Yu Ruyan said angrily: "This is Ange's sad place, I don't want her to stay here and remember the sad things in the past, Putuo Temple is far away in the mountains, quiet and livable, it is best to send her there to recuperate... ··”

"It's unknown whether the doctor will be good or not now!" Xiaodao replied in a panic, and he regretted the words as soon as he uttered them.

"What are you talking about? What else are you hiding from me?" Sure enough, Yu Ruyan's expression darkened when she heard this, and she stared into his eyes and asked sternly.

Knowing that he couldn't hide it, Xiaodao lowered his head and said angrily: "Brother An's illness has been seen by many doctors before, and the doctor who came here was either scared away or unwilling to treat her when he saw her like this. The few people who saw the doctor also said that the doctor was not good... The mother-in-law who invited her to take care of her refused to do it..."

Yu Ruyan's face turned pale little by little, and her whole body was like falling into an ice cave——

If, if it is true that Brother An has no cure as Xiaodao said, what will she do?Could it be that he just watched her die of illness?
No, no, the world is so big, there must be a famous doctor who can cure An Ge's illness. Back then, she was poisoned all over her body, and she was rescued by the master with only half of her breath left. Can it be cured?

She grasped the knife with her hand, and her nails dug into his flesh. She tremblingly said, "Tell me, what's wrong with Brother An?"

Xiao Dao blushed, and was rarely shy. He looked at her eagerly in embarrassment, and was speechless for a long time.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and turned his head aside before telling Yu Ruyan.

It turned out that Brother An was pregnant before being sold into Qin Xianglou. How could a pregnant girl be tolerated in the brothel? Besides, Brother An had been swearing to the death and refused to accept customers, so Mother Qiu ordered the nursing home to beat and kick her. She literally killed the child in her womb...
However, she was dragged away to pick up the guests without any rest in her body, and the afterbirth lochia in her body was not cleaned up, and she stayed in her body to do evil, and unfortunately contracted a willow disease. Yu Ruyan asked Uncle Chen to redeem her and leave the building, I am afraid that her life would have already turned into a pile of dead bones...
Xiaodao said sullenly: "The doctor said that if the afterbirth doesn't come out for a day, Brother An's life will be lost after all, but because the time is too long, that thing has... already grown in the flesh."

With a stagger, Yu Ruyan almost fell to the ground. She supported the stove with her hands, her eyes were dark, and she murmured in disbelief: "Could it be that there is really no cure?"

It would be great if the master was still alive, he should have a way to save Brother An.

Her whole body was shaken, and she suddenly recovered from her despair——

Yes, the world is so big, if there is a second person with extraordinary medical skills like the master!
She couldn't give up. If she even gave up on herself, what would Brother An do?She is only 16 years old!

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and braced herself, with a smile that was uglier than crying. Looking at the young man in front of her, she thought that he had been taking care of Brother An during the days when she was not around, but she reprimanded him without knowing it before. blame him-

"Brother An, I'm sorry, my sister doesn't know... Thank you for your hard work!"

Xiaodao grinned indifferently and said, "It's good that my sister doesn't get angry with Xiaodao again!"

After Brother An finished taking a bath, Yu Ruyan took her out, Xiao Dao drove the carriage, and the three of them began to seek medical treatment in various clinics in the Eastern Capital.

However, no matter how many houses they left, they were all driven out by the chariot, and Xiaodao was so angry that he tried to draw his sword several times but was stopped by Yu Ruyan.

"Sister, why didn't such a doctor with no medical ethics let me teach them a lesson? They must see Brother An today." Xiaodao was so angry that his eyes were red, but he had to listen to Yu Ruyan's words.

Yu Ruyan felt sore in her heart, her eyes were cold, and she said coldly: "Even if you force him to see a doctor like this doctor, he won't do his best. If he is perfunctory, it will only delay Brother An's time. Let's go, I believe—— -There is always a way out!"

Hearing what the two said, a beggar mother-in-law on the side of the road couldn't help but kindly said: "Girl, there is a medical clinic in Qisan Alley, which specializes in treating poor people like us, and the doctor's medical skills are also very good. Well, he cured my old cold legs for me, why don't you try it there, girl!"

Hearing this, Yu Ruyan's heart was filled with light, she took out a piece of silver and handed it to the old woman, thank you very much!
On the way to Qisan Lane by car, seeing Yu Ruyan's hopeful face, Xiaodao was worried, worried that hope would be lost again, so he couldn't help reminding: "Sister, don't have too much hope, if he doesn't Are you willing to help An Ge cure his illness?"

But Yu Ruyan said with affirmative tone: "He is willing to see the homeless beggars as a voluntary doctor. He is definitely a kind-hearted person with high moral character. I believe he will be willing to help Brother An!"

Qisan Lane is not far from where they are, and most of the people living here are poor people. They asked all the way, and soon found the hospital that the old woman mentioned.

The medical clinic is built in an unremarkable small courtyard, and there is a plaque hanging at the door, with the inscription "Wuwei Medical Museum".Yu Ruyan helped An Ge push the door and went in, only to see that the yard was full of poor people in ragged clothes. A young man in green clothes saw them coming in, without saying a word, he gave them a bamboo sign with a number on it, attracting them. They sat aside and waited.

After waiting for about an hour, the people in front finished seeing the doctor, and finally it was their turn, Yu Ruyan happily accompanied An Ge into the room——

Opening the curtain, I saw a young man dressed in white snow sitting peacefully in front of the small table, looking down at the medical books in front of him. The warm winter sun shone through the window and cast deep and shallow shadows on him. The smell of dust is like a fairy.

The long eyelashes cast a small shadow on the eyelids. Hearing the noise, he looked up and looked at each other. Both of them couldn't help being stunned!
Yu Ruyan never expected that the doctor of Wuwei Medical Center was actually Yue Yu!
Yue Yu didn't seem to expect to see Yu Ruyan here, he stood up after a moment of hesitation, with a light smile on his face, asked them to sit in front of him, and said softly: "I didn't expect you to know this place?"

Yu Ruyan grinned, and said joyfully: "The bigger the genius doctor, the more he hangs the pot to help the world without asking for anything in return, and his reputation is far away, like thunder, it's hard to know!"

That's great, the doctor here is actually Yue Yu, he will definitely try his best to heal Brother An!

Yue Yu smiled lightly, glanced at An Ge who bowed his head in silence, his expression tightened, and motioned for her to stretch out her hand, put her hand on her pulse, and felt her pulse.

The time for half a stick of incense passed, Yue Yu slowly withdrew his hand, his pale face was a little tired, and a few beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, he raised his eyes to look at Yu Ruyan who looked expectant, his clear eyes gleamed with light , slowly said: "If you believe me, give her to me!"

Hearing such words, Yu Ruyan's whole body relaxed, suppressing the joy in her heart, she nodded firmly, "I believe you!"

In order to facilitate the treatment, Brother An directly stayed in the hospital, arranged for her, and checked the time, it was already noon, and she was going back.

Yue Yu was turning over herbs in the yard, saw her come out, and said with a smile: "It's getting late, let's go after dinner!"

Yu Ruyan hesitated for a moment and agreed with a smile.

Originally thought that Yue Yu was leaving her to eat in the medical hall, but unexpectedly he drove her directly to the Shuyu Hall in a carriage. Yu Zhongyan knew that the things in the Shuyu Hall were very expensive, so she declined: "Go to any restaurant. Just eat, you promised to help me take care of Brother An, I am very grateful, how can I let you spend money?"

Yue Yu smiled softly, his brows and eyes were as warm as jade, "Don't you know that I have a lot of money? Besides, if I go to my own restaurant to eat, it's not a waste of money!"

She was startled, she didn't expect Shuyu House to be owned by his family!
After thinking about it, he is already a world-renowned wealthy businessman, so what does the little Shuyu House mean to him!
Seeing them coming in, the shopkeeper of the Shuyu Hall hurried up to greet them personally, and led them to the best private room on the second floor.

When Mu Ziyue heard the servant's report, the paintbrush in her hand froze, and the ink fell onto the snow-white paper with a bang, and the beautiful picture of red plums and proud snow was ruined like this——

"What did you say? The person that slut servant went looking for turned out to be..."

Since the last time she was assassinated, Mu Ziyue thought about it and couldn't figure out who was going to kill her, so she finally cast her suspicious eyes on Yu Ruyan.So, she sent someone to quietly observe and track Yu Ruyan.

Not only did she suspect that the assassin had something to do with Yu Ruyan, she had fought against her several times, and she always felt that this humble maidservant was far beyond her imagination, who among ordinary maidservants was as bold as her, not only did she have no other maidservants The slavishness that should be there seems to have never taken her, the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's mansion, seriously!
This is too unreasonable!
However, now that she heard a report from a servant, the person Yu Ruyan met after leaving the mansion turned out to be the lowly girl who pestered her brother and was later sold into a brothel by her mother. She suddenly realized that the last time she helped Yu Ruyan escape She was the one who came out of Qin Xianglou!
She occasionally heard her brother mention that when Brother An was with Mu Ziyang, he had been begging him to help find someone. Could it be that the person she was looking for was Yu Ruyan?
It was as if a bright light flashed in Mu Ziyue's mind, and many confusing places seemed to become clear——

It seems that if you want to know the identity of that lowly maidservant, you have to start with Brother An!

As soon as Mu Ziyue thought of exposing Yu Ruyan's true identity, all the troubles and worries of the past few days were swept away, and her eyes lit up with excitement and fierce light.
