Chapter 192: Same Person

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In the Chu family in the county city.

After dinner, Chu Zhongyuan was about to go back to his room to sleep when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart. The pain was like a needle stabbing into him. It was so painful that his body went limp and he fell to the ground.

“Master!” When the servant girl saw this, she hurriedly helped him back to the room and placed him on the bed. Then, she went to call Wang Peifang.

Wang Peifang came over when she heard the news. When she saw Chu Zhongyuan sweating profusely and wailing in pain, she was shocked. “Hurry up and get a doctor. Hurry!”

The servant girl did not dare to delay and hurriedly ran out.

When Old Master Chu and Old Madam Chu heard that their son was not feeling well, they immediately rushed over.

Old Madam Chu sat by the bed and held her son’s hand. Her heart ached. “Zhongyuan, what’s wrong? Why are you suddenly so sick?”

Chu Zhongyuan’s other hand grabbed the clothes on his chest tightly. His face was twisted in pain, and his entire body was drenched in sweat. “Mother, my chest hurts so much. It’s as if someone is pinching my heart with their hand and stabbing it with their nails.”

Old Madam Chu’s heart ached. She quickly comforted him, “I’ve already sent someone to get a doctor. The doctor will be here in a while. Bear with it.”

Chu Zhongyuan could not take the pain anymore. He curled up on the bed and did not dare to move. “It hurts, it hurts…”

Old Master Chu paced around the door of the room with an anxious expression. Why wasn’t the doctor here yet?

Wang Peifang had just quarreled with Chu Zhongyuan and was still angry with him. Hence, she stood silently at the side with her head lowered, looking cold.

After twenty minutes, the doctor rushed over under the lead of the servant girl.

Old Madam Chu quickly moved aside. “Doctor, quickly take a look at my son.”

The doctor nodded and went forward to take Chu Zhongyuan’s pulse. Slowly, he frowned. “There’s nothing wrong with his body.”

Old Madam Chu panicked when she heard that. Even a blind person could tell that something was wrong with Chu Zhongyuan. “Doctor, you can’t joke at this time. Look at how painful he is. How can he be fine?”

The doctor was unhappy. “Old Madam, I am your family doctor. When have 1 ever lied to you? From the pulse, your son is indeed not sick, but from his symptoms, there must be something wrong with him. Don’t be anxious. I’ll try acupuncture.”

Only then did Old Madam Chu’s expression ease. “Doctor, please perform the acupuncture quickly.”

The doctor hurriedly took out silver needles from the medicine box and inserted one into Chu Zhongyuan’s chest. The pain did not subside at all. He continued to insert the second needle.

After a while, there was still no improvement. Even a doctor who had been practicing medicine for more than ten years could not help but feel puzzled.

He continued with the third needle…

“All—”

Chu Zhongyuan could not bear the pain and screamed. He pulled out the three silver needles and threw them away. “It hurts. It hurts too much. I don’t want to live anymore!”

He wept bitterly and had the thought of suicide.

Old Madam Chu also cried. “Zhongyuan, what’s wrong?”

Chu Zhongyuan curled up and trembled in pain. “Mother, it hurts so much. It hurts too much. I don’t want to live anymore!”

The doctor picked up the silver needles that had been thrown away. Seeing that Chu Zhongyuan was in so much pain, he suggested, “Why don’t you invite Chu Qingzhi to take a look at him? Her medical skills are better.”

Everyone in the room was stunned, including Chu Zhongyuan.

Wang Peifang asked excitedly, “Who did you just say?”

“Chu Qingzhi!” The doctor had treated the original Chu Qingzhi, but the original Chu Qingzhi looked very different from the current Chu Qingzhi. Moreover, he knew very well that the original Chu Qingzhi did not know medicine, so he thought it was two people with the same name. He did not think that they were the same person at all.

“1-Impossible!” Wang Peifang’s expression was extremely ugly. She would not believe it even if a knife was held to her throat. “How can Chu Qingzhi know medicine?”

“She really knows medicine. If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do. I can’t cure his illness. Find someone else.” With that, the doctor carried the medicine box and left quickly.

The Chu family fell into a short silence, but it was quickly broken by Chu Zhongyuan’s cries of pain. “I’m in so much pain. Father, Mother, quickly get a doctor for me.”

“I will go right away,” Old Master Chu quickly replied and asked the servant to go get another doctor.

Of course, they would not believe what the first doctor said just now. After all, they knew best if a child who had lived with them for 15 years had medical skills or not.

Soon, the second doctor was invited over, but he quickly left.

Just like that, all the doctors in the county were invited. Chu Zhongyuan’s pain did not ease at all. Instead, it intensified. He was about to collapse.

“Father, Mother, what should we do now?” Wang Peifang could no longer maintain that indifferent attitude. She was afraid that Chu Zhongyuan would die. The child was only one year old. She didn’t want her child to grow up without a father.

The two elders were already at a loss and did not know what to do.

In her anxiety, Wang Peifang thought of the first doctor’s words. He wouldn’t say that Chu Qingzhi knew medicine for no reason. There must be a reason why he said that.

Why not get someone to call Chu Qingzhi over to take a look?

Thinking of this, Wang Peifang immediately instructed the servant to go to the Chu Village to look for Chu Qingzhi.

In the Chu Village.

Chu Qingzhi drew three designs in a row. Cheongsam was the best dress that could make women look charming and seductive.

“Second Sister, take a look.” Chu Qingzhi handed the designs to Chu Qingyue.

Chu Qingyue took the paper. There was a picture on the front and back of the paper. She looked at the first design.

As she looked, her face turned slightly red. Wearing this dress would expose her thighs. It was a little unacceptable to her.

“These dresses will definitely look good on them, but they’re not suitable for ordinary people like us.”

Chu Qingzhi suggested, “Second Sister, make one for them first.”

She felt that this dress was a little too ahead of time. Even the women in the brothels in ancient times might not be able to accept it.

“Fifth Sister, I know.” Chu Qingyue couldn’t take her eyes off the design. She didn’t have the courage to wear such a dress, but it wouldn’t stop her from admiring it.

“Second Sister, I’ll wait for your feedback. If they feel that it’s too revealing, I can modify it.”

Chu Qingyue nodded. “Okay.”

“Fifth Sister, look at my embroidery.” Chu Qingyue handed the hibiscus flower she had embroidered to Chu Qingzhi.

Chu Qingzhi took the embroidery and took a closer look. The flower was embroidered flawlessly and looked very lifelike. However, one flower looked stiff and rigid. It would be more lifelike if it had leaves. “Second Sister, it’ll be better to embroider two leaves here.”

Chu Qingyue reexamined her work. The more she looked at it, the brighter her eyes became. “Fifth Sister, you are right. I’ll add two leaves later..”
