Chapter 349 Say goodbye and leave
After the old lady finished speaking, her eyes were slightly red, and tears welled up in her eyes. Over the years, she had suffered from illness and torture every day. If it weren't for her son's future, she really wanted to close her eyes, kick her legs, and leave the world, but she couldn't do that.
Since her old man passed away, Heshan had been at home for three years in mourning according to etiquette. If she also passed away, Heshan would have to delay the time for another three years.
Heshan has always been a kind and filial person. Over the years, he has not only sought out famous doctors from all over the country to treat her illnesses, but also, whenever he is not on official business outside, he will always return home to greet his mother and be very caring and considerate to her.
The daughter-in-law Ruoyi is also a kind-hearted person. Not only does she do her best to take care of all the big and small affairs in the house every day, she also always takes time to accompany her mother-in-law, trying her best to make her happy and relieve her boredom, without any sign of annoyance.
With such a filial and sensible son and daughter-in-law, how could she bear to cause trouble and add to her worries?
So she endured the pain year after year, thinking that she would never recover. Unexpectedly, in her old age, she was lucky enough to meet Dr. Chen Er, who not only cured her leg disease of many years, but also allowed her to walk again. For this, she was filled with endless gratitude.
"I have to be loyal to the person who entrusted me with the task. I have only done what I can. You don't need to worry too much, old lady. Oh, by the way, I came here today to tell you something else."
Hearing Lin Chuyi's words, the old lady's heart tightened involuntarily, thinking that the other party was going to say something big next.
So she quickly straightened her sitting posture, looked at Lin Chuyi seriously and said, "Godly Doctor, please feel free to tell me. If you need any help, just ask."
Lin Chuyi smiled slightly, then slowly said goodbye to the old lady: "My disciple and I just happened to pass by your place, but we never thought we would encounter so many changes. Now that everything has been handled, it's time for us to leave."
The old lady obviously did not expect Lin Chuyi to suddenly ask to leave, and she was a little surprised, but she quickly reacted and hurriedly tried to keep him.
"Why are you leaving so soon, miraculous doctor? Can you stay a few more days at your mansion? You have devoted yourself to my affairs, but your mansion has not been able to take good care of you. I am really ashamed! We should set up a banquet to entertain you."
"I appreciate your kindness, madam, but there's really no need to host a banquet for us. My master and I have other important matters to deal with. If we stay here too long, it might delay our work. So, please forgive me, madam." Lin Chuyi politely declined.
The old lady looked regretful and said, "Well, why don't you leave me your address, so that I can ask my son to come and thank you in the future."
Lin Chuyi shook his head. "You don't need to thank me. If you really need to find me urgently, you can go to Lulutong in the city and find the person in charge of Lulutong's store. I have an old relationship with the owner of Lulutong. He knows how to find me. As long as I can get the message and I don't have any urgent matters, I will definitely come to keep the appointment."
After receiving Lin Chuyi's personal promise, the old lady felt relieved. She felt at ease and could no longer suppress the smile on her face. She said to Lin Chuyi, "Then I am relieved."
After the old lady finished speaking, she immediately turned her head, her eyes fell on her daughter-in-law, and said in a gentle voice: "Ruoyi, quickly go and get the thank-you gift I specially prepared for the miracle doctor."
"Okay." Liu Ruoyi nodded slightly to the old lady to indicate that she understood, then she quickly stood up and walked out.
Liu Ruoyi went out alone, and when she returned, two maids followed her. The two maids each held a tray in their hands and followed Liu Ruoyi carefully into the house.
While Liu Ruoyi was out getting something, the old lady never stopped and continued to talk with Lin Chuyi and the other person, as if she was afraid to leave them any opportunity and quietly leave before Liu Ruoyi returned.
Finally, when Liu Ruoyi returned, the old lady immediately shifted the focus of the conversation to Xie Yi, and said earnestly: "The miracle doctor cares about the people of the world. With his benevolence and magical skills, he has saved the lives of tens of thousands of ordinary people, and even saved my unfilial son from a fatal disaster. Not only that, you also helped me save my life. You can be said to be the great benefactor of our entire Meng family."
"I have no way to repay the great kindness of the miracle doctor. I can only offer a small gift to show my appreciation. Here are five thousand taels of silver and a box of pearls. As the saying goes, a poor family can make a rich journey. Since the miracle doctor is about to set off, he must have some money on him. It's not much, but I hope the miracle doctor will accept it."
Lin Chuyi smiled and refused. You must be joking. The last thing she lacked now was money, right? And pearls. Believe it or not, she could pull out a mountain of pearls out of thin air, and she could guarantee that the size and appearance of each pearl she took out were better than the ones in the box.
Lin Chuyi's expression did not fluctuate at all, and he still looked calm and indifferent.
She didn't even look at the two boxes of thank you money, and said directly: "Madam, there is no need to do this. We have enough money on us, and we will not accept this money."
When the old lady saw that Lin Chuyi had refused, she wanted to persuade him again, but she heard Lin Chuyi speak again.
"However, if the old lady really feels guilty, you might as well take care of Lu Lu Tong for me. There is no need to do it deliberately, just make sure that he is safe and sound in the area under the jurisdiction of Governor Meng, and is not bullied by others."
"Of course." The old lady agreed without hesitation.
In fact, the old lady knew nothing about the business that Lu Lu Tong was engaged in. However, since Chen Er, the divine doctor, had mentioned this man's name twice, he must have had a close relationship with the owner of Lu Lu Tong.
If not, how could the miracle doctor easily reveal his whereabouts to the other party? And how could he be so wholeheartedly protecting the other party's livelihood?
Besides, the conditions proposed by the miracle doctor were not excessive. He only asked them to take care of a store, which was not a difficult task for them. They could achieve their goal by just spreading the news.
Thinking of this, the old lady couldn't help but feel secretly happy. After all, her son was about to be promoted to the governor of two states, becoming the highest official in Liuzhou and Qingzhou. She didn't believe that if they spread the word, there would be any blind guy who would dare to provoke Lu Lu Tong.
Lin Chuyi nodded slightly to the old lady and saluted, "Thank you very much, old lady. Lord Meng is very busy and can't spare time, so I won't bother you anymore. I'll take my leave now. If Lord Meng asks about this matter, please let me pass on the message."
The old lady smiled slightly, nodded in understanding, and said, "Of course, since the miracle doctor is determined to leave, I will not force him to stay. I wish the miracle doctor a smooth journey and all his wishes come true!"
"Thank you for your blessing, old lady." Lin Chuyi bowed politely to the old lady and turned to leave.
"Ruoyi, please go and see the miracle doctor off on behalf of your mother." The old lady immediately gave another instruction.
Liu Ruoyi immediately responded respectfully.
After receiving the instructions, Liu Ruoyi walked quickly towards Lin Chuyi. After hearing the old lady's words, Lin Chuyi stopped and stood there quietly waiting.
After a while, Liu Ruoyi came to Lin Chuyi's side. She smiled and nodded at Lin Chuyi to show her friendliness. Lin Chuyi also smiled and nodded slightly in response. Then the two of them walked out together, one in front and one behind. The other servants followed closely behind, and the group walked out of the old lady's bedroom in an orderly manner.
After Lin Chuyi followed Liu Ruoyi out of the backyard gate, she stopped and said to Liu Ruoyi, "Madam, please stay. We two, master and disciple, still need to go back to our residence to pack our luggage. We won't waste your time."
“This…” Liu Ruoyi hesitated. Looking at Lin Chuyi’s calm eyes, she seemed to have thought of something, so she stopped insisting on seeing him off. “Okay, then I won’t see you off. Take care.”
Lin Chuyi nodded slightly in response, then took Ping An to their residence.
Liu Ruoyi stood there quietly, staring at Lin Chuyi's figure walking away until she disappeared. Then, she turned around and returned to the courtyard where the old lady was with her personal maid.
After entering the courtyard, Liu Ruoyi reported to the old lady the whole story of why she had sent someone to the gate of the inner courtyard and then turned back. However, the old lady did not pay much attention to this, but shifted her attention to another matter.
"Ruoyi, have you ever heard of the 'Lulutong' mentioned by the miracle doctor just now? What exactly does this store do for a living?" the old lady asked curiously.
