Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart-Chapter 1724 - Her Mother Was The Best Physician

1724 Her Mother Was The Best Physician
Ji’er did not stay long. She turned and promptly squeezed out of the crowd.

However, the news she just read was stuck in her mind.

Her mother was seriously ill?

She was the best physician. How could she allow herself to get so ill?

Moreover, there was still her grandmother.

However, the imperial board did specify that her mother had gotten ill because of worry.

Could her mother’s condition be caused by her running away?

Ji’er’s mind was in turmoil.

She could not shake the feeling that this was a trick by her mother to make her go home, but what if her mother was legitimately sick?

Ji’er went back to her house in a state of distraught; she could not even hear anything the three little beggars said to her.

She shut herself in her room the moment she got home.

Memories of her childhood days began flashing through her mind.

Her parents had doted on her a lot since young and they have never once hurt her.

When she was small, her father would even carry her in his arms while marking Palace Memorials. Her mother would always inquire about her well-being and take care of her personally. Even when she stubbornly insisted on marrying Lil Qi, they had given in to her demands and allowed her to do as she pleased.

However, it had never crossed her mind that hidden behind all their doting actions was the need for them to make things up to her.

If only she had never found out the truth about the past. She would have continued living a normal life, thinking she was the happiest person on earth.

She had the love of her parents and the protection of her older siblings. Her life was filled with bliss.

Unfortunately, reality gave her a sharp slap on the face and she was forced to wake up from her beautiful dream.

Reality was harsh and cruel.
She respected her father very much, yet he had once tried to throw her to death.

Ji’er covered her face and began sobbing quietly as memories of old flooded her mind.

She still could not face her father no matter what.

Seeing her father would only remind her of his cruel actions back then.

She was afraid she would end up hating him.

Ji’er did not want to hate him. After all, that person was her father who had showered so much love on her. She had respected the man for so many years.

However, her mother was ill…

It did not matter if it was true or fake; she wanted to go home and take a look. What if her mother really was ill? She did not want to end up regretting this in the future. However, she would need to face her father if she returned.

She bit her lip. She still did not want to see him.

Ji’er struggled miserably with the decision for some time.

Knock, knock!

A sudden knock on the door pulled Ji’er out of her reverie.

She wiped away the tears on her face and got up to open the door.

“Young Master, we’ve cooked some noodles with mushrooms. Come and eat with us.” Lil Tian stood outside the door. His dark eyes could not hide the admiration he always had for her.

He found out long ago that the young master was actually a girl older than he was, but if she was unwilling to talk about it, he would pretend not to know a thing and continue calling her ‘Young Master’.

Ji’er had no idea how to react when she saw the admiration and trust in the boy’s eyes.

Since he found out how good she was with the bow and arrow, his admiration for her grew by the day.

“Alright.” She reached out to rub the boy’s head and went to the living room with him.

The two other beggars, Lil Lin and Lil Mu, had already set the table and served up the noodles. However, they sat patiently before she arrived and no one touched the food yet.

Ji’er felt slightly touched as she watched the three young boys.

She had no idea what their backgrounds were, but they had spent time together for more than a month and the three boys now treated her like family.

They were tactful enough not to ask about her background. When she went to Green Spear Mountain to hunt every day, they would also follow her there.

While she hunted, they would follow behind her and pick mushrooms into their baskets.

They were not skilled at hunting but were quite adept at picking mushrooms.

The three little beggars would always pick numerous mushrooms every day. They would keep some for themselves while selling the rest.

The wild mushrooms were fresh and delicious. They were also nutritious and worked well with noodles.
