Chapter 666: You’re Too Noisy

Lu Yichen, with a sigh of exasperation, turned to Wu Yaqing and asked, “Are you hungry? Do you want to grab something to eat?”

The sudden shift in conversation left Wu Yaqing momentarily baffled. “What do you mean by that?”

Bao Linjiang turned his head, cutting straight to the chase, “He means for you to keep it down. You’re being too loud.”

Wu Yaqing’s mood soured instantly. “I’m just worried about you, and this is how you treat me?” She huffed, marching off to sit as far away from Lu Yichen as possible, arms crossed, stewing in silence.

Lu Yichen rubbed his temples at the sight of Wu Yaqing’s pouting figure, a headache brewing.

Bao Linjiang spread his hands, as if to say, “Don’t look at me; I’m just the messenger.”

When Chu Qingzhi returned, the room was clearly divided. “What happened here?”

Wu Yaqing piped up first, “Nothing much. Qingzhi, come check Lu Yice’s fingers. The worms haven’t been coming out for a while now.”

Chu Qingzhi peered towards the glass bottle, “Did any of you notice two worms significantly larger than the others?”

Yuan Hongjun asked, “Master, are you referring to the two worms that entered Lu Yice’s body first?”

“Yes,” Chu Qingzhi confirmed. “Only when those two are out can we consider Lu Yice’s body completely clear of the worms. Otherwise, they might regenerate.”

Wu Yaqing frowned, “We didn’t see them.”

Chu Qingzhi observed for a while and checked Lu Yicai’s pulse. She took the opportunity to check the location of the two Gu worms. They were actually still at Lu Yicai’s heart and had basically not moved.

“Hongjun, Linjiang, I need a hollow needle and some Gu worm repellent.”

Yuanan Hongjun immediately fetched the needle from the medicine box, while Bao Linjiang went for the repellent.

Chu Qingzhi took the needle, dipped it in the repellent, and targeted the worms’ location to inject the solution…

She could actually use a simpler method to kill the two Gu worms, but that wouldn’t teach her disciples anything. This way, they’d know how to handle such situations in the future.

Under the effect of the repellent, the two worms crawled out from where the needle had pierced.

Chu Qingzhi poured some lure on them, and soon, the last two worms were dead.

The Gu worm removal was complete.

“Hongjun, bring the medicine for Lu Yice to take.”

“Okay.”

After taking the medicine, Lu Yichen carried Lu Yice to bed, feeling the light weight in his arms and a pang of sourness in his heart. He whispered, “Sleep well. You won’t suffer anymore.”

Lu Yice, with his deeply sunken eyes, looked at Lu Yichen, “Brother, thank you.”

He had heard the conversation earlier and knew that without Lu Yichen, Chu Qingzhi wouldn’t have come to remove the Gu worms.

Lu Yichen’s usually cold expression softened a bit, “Rest well. Qingzhi said with a month or two of recovery, you’ll be back to normal.”

“Ok.”

Chu Qingzhi stepped out the door and addressed the butler, “Has your lord prepared the silver as agreed?”

The butler, who had been standing by the door, eagerly replied, “It’s all prepared. However, the lord mentioned he would only hand it over once he’s assured the young master is well.”

Yuan Hongjun joined in, “Your young master is fine now. If you have doubts, feel free to have another physician examine him.”

Overjoyed, the butler hurried off to inform the lord.

A moment later, not only the Lord, but even the Princess Consort came. Everyone in the mansion was shocked.

The Princess Consort walked over quickly and grabbed Chu Qingzhi’s hand excitedly. “Miss, is Yice truly alright now?”

Chu Qingzhi reassured her, “The young master will be able to live like a normal person after two months of rest.”

Princess Consort burst into tears of joy. “Thank you, Miss, thank you so much.”

“There’s no need to worry anymore. All is well,” Chu Qingzhi comforted her.

Gratefully nodding through her tears, the Princess Consort expressed, “Qingzhi, we owe you so much. Yice won’t have to suffer anymore.” The pain of seeing her son in agony had deeply affected her as a mother.

“All is well now…”

After some time, the Princess Consort, drying her tears, instructed the butler, “What are you waiting for? Bring out the silver. Also, take an additional one million silver notes from my personal treasury for Miss Chu.”

She knew that Chu Qingzhi asked Lu Lizhang for five million taels of silver. She thought that Chu Qingzhi liked money, so she also gave Chu Qingzhi money.

Chu Qingzhi didn’t know what to say.

After receiving the money, Chu Qingzhi wrote down the follow-up prescription and handed it to the Princess Consort, then left with her disciples.

On the way, Chu Qingzhi said to her two disciples, “Take the one million that the Princess Consort gave me.”

Both of them refused. “Master, we don’t take it. You cured Lu Yici. How can we take the money?”

“You refuse because it’s too little?”

The two disciples shook their heads in shock. “No, no, Master. We just feel undeserving.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “If I give it to you, just take it. We’re master and disciple. Together, we’ll see even more prosperity.”

Such bold generosity from their master was unheard of. Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang, smiling, accepted, “Yes, Master.”

News of Chu Qingzhi curing Lu Yice for a fee of five million taels quickly spread throughout the capital, making her the subject of much discussion, envy, and admiration.

In modern terms, Chu Qingzhi was on the trending searches again, and she was the most searched lady so far.

At the Chu Residence.

Chu Qingzhi gathered all the maids and servants that Ning Yuting had sent over to take care of them in the front courtyard.

“It’s been hard on you guys during this period of time. I’ve prepared some silver rewards here. Each of you can take some. I’m leaving in two days.”

The butler urged the others, “Hurry up and thank Fifth Miss. Why are you standing there like a block?”

Together, they expressed their gratitude, “Thankyou, Fifth Miss.”

“In the future, my second sister will be alone in the capital. I’ll have to trouble everyone to take care of her.”

“Fifth Miss, don’t worry. We will.”

“Thankyou.”

“Go ahead, take your silver.”

Happy to receive their rewards, everyone thanked her again before departing.

Chu Qingzhi then headed to the kitchen, handing Nanny Han a silver note worth a hundred taels, “Nanny, everyone has received some silver. Please don’t refuse.”

Having been a great help in cooking, laundry, managing medicinal herbs, housekeeping, and more, Nanny Han deserved Chu Qingzhi’s gratitude.

Seeing Chu Qingzhi’s sincerity, Nanny Han accepted the silver note, “Next time you’re in the capital, leave everything to me.”

“Deal,” Chu Qingzhi smiled, then added, “Nanny, I have something to ask you.”

“Go ahead.”

“Do you know any trustworthy people? I’m looking for some reliable helpers for my second sister. She’s alone in the Ning residence. Although her husband is protective, lacking confidants in such a large household could be troublesome if something happens and her husband isn’t around.”
