Chapter 36 She Becomes the Backbone of Green Garden

Seeing that the old woman in front of him was obsessed with the silver ingot in his hand, Li Yaoguang spared no expense, causing Old Woman Zhou to gasp.

"Well, my cousin, you see, without the permission of the Marquis' wife, no one is allowed to enter the house. This is the rule. If you let a doctor in, the Marquis' wife will blame me later..."

"Mrs. Zhou, I don't have time to bargain with you, and I'm not afraid to tell you that I'm now on good terms with the owner of Yaxian Pavilion, and we're very familiar with each other. The backers behind Yaxian Pavilion are not afraid of any mansion. Although I'm just an orphan and can't get the support of the backers, if I ask my friends to spread the news that the mansion took human life lightly and allowed its own man to be tortured to death by a gatekeeper, Mrs. Zhou, will the Marquis protect you or give you up?"

"I don't!"

"You did! Aren't you trying to stop me? Mother Zhou, I'm not kidding you. If something happens to my relatives because of you, and I, Li Yaoguang, go crazy, I can't handle the Marquis's Mansion, but can I handle a servant like you?"

"This this?"

"Mrs. Zhou, I advise you to think it over carefully. Money or life? It's your choice."

Mrs. Zhou was frightened by Li Yaoguang's combination of punches. She looked at the silver ingot in Li Yaoguang's hand and thought that since she was going to die anyway, she might as well take a risk and take the opportunity to get twenty taels. That was twenty taels, and her eldest maid's monthly allowance was only twenty-four taels a year.

Mother Zhou snatched the silver ingot from Li Yaoguang's hand and assured, "Don't worry, cousin. When the doctor comes, I will let my girl Xiu take her to Green Garden. I will not delay your business."

Li Yaoguang nodded, and without further delay, he hurried inside carrying his cousin.

The baby in her arms became heavier and heavier, and Li Yaoguang's legs went weak after hearing the bad news. She hurried all the way to Green Garden and she didn't know how she floated there.

When we finally arrived at Green Garden, the lanterns at the entrance were lit, but the gate was open. There was no one in the yard, and no signs of busyness or unusual activity. Only from the direction of the three small bedrooms in the main house came a familiar sound of sad sobs.

That was her aunt's voice. Li Yaoguang's heart skipped a beat and the child in her arms ran inside.

Although it was only a distance of less than twenty meters, Li Yaoguang felt that the road was so long.

Rushing into the main hall, he saw no green grass or willows inside. Li Yaoguang didn't care about that and subconsciously went to the main house on the left side where the curtains were closed.

When the people inside heard the noise outside, their sad crying stopped abruptly. Then, Li Yaoguang, who was holding his cousin and was about to go inside, heard an anxious and expectant question.

"Green Willow, Fangcao, how is it? Have the ladies agreed to call in a doctor?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain was suddenly pulled open, revealing his aunt's anxious and pale face, with red eyes and tears rolling down her cheeks.

Seeing Li Yaoguang, Yu Meixue was also surprised, "Sister Guang, why are you here?"

"Aunt, how is my uncle?"

The aunt and nephew said in unison, their eyes fell on the little guy in Li Yaoguang's arms, and Yu Meixue's face suddenly changed again, "Yang'er? Why is he here in your arms?"

Li Yaoguang was also surprised, "Aunt, didn't you ask Yangyang to wait for me outside?" "No?" Thinking of how her husband was sent back covered in blood, she was completely panicked. She only had time to settle her husband down and sent Green Willow and Fangcao to ask the Marquis's wife and the Second Lady for their consent to ask for a doctor for her husband. She was so busy that she didn't care about her son at all.

Who would have thought that such a young child would be so bold as to go out of the corner door to look for his niece in the middle of the night?
When she thought of this, Yu Meixue was filled with fear. She thought that her husband was still injured and his life or death was unknown. If something happened to her son again, how would she survive?

The series of accidents brought on feelings of anxiety and fear. Yu Meixue was stunned at the time. She snatched the son from her niece's arms and slapped him on the buttocks twice, crying while doing so.

"You child! You child! How can you be so naughty? If you run away, how can I live? How can I live..."

The little fellow, who had just felt safe from his cousin, started crying again after being beaten by his own mother. His voice was filled with grievance and fear, which actually woke up the unconscious person in the room. He opened his cracked lips and was about to speak. Coincidentally, the two maids who had been sent to ask for a meeting also hurried back at this time.

Ever since Yu Meixue received help from Li Yaoguang, her husband Cheng Su has also been working hard under the inspiration of his niece. Although Yu Meixue does not have a lot of money, she no longer has a shortage of expenses on a daily basis, and she has gradually become more generous. Therefore, she has won over the hearts of these two.

When this incident happened, Luliu and Fangcao did their best and really went to beg the mistress of the house and the mistress of the second room.

Unfortunately……

"Grandma, it's not that I didn't do my best. I've been kneeling at the door of the Marquis's courtyard until now, but she hasn't even shown me. Only Sister Jinyan came out and told me that the Marquis had gone to bed and that we could talk tomorrow if there was anything. I went to call the door again, but there was no response."

"Grandma, I'm in a similar situation as Fangcao. I went to see the Second Madam, but she said she wasn't the head of the household and the rules of the Marquis' Mansion were very strict. No matter how big the matter was, we couldn't disturb the head of the household. She said since the Sixth Master wasn't dead, we should wait in Green Garden and we'll know the answer after daybreak."

"Oh my god, how could this happen? This is a matter of life and death. My husband's life is at stake. He is also the blood of the Cheng family. These vicious women are so cruel and heartless that they want to watch my husband die? No, no! Since the ladies don't care, I will go myself and ask the old ancestor. If the old ancestor doesn't care, I will go to the front yard even if I die. I don't believe that the Marquis and the Second Master can watch my husband die."

In desperation, even Yu Meixue, who was gentle and weak in character, could not help but be aroused by her wolf nature. She pushed her son, who had been so frightened by his mother's aura that he forgot to cry, into Li Yaoguang's arms, turned around and was about to rush out, but was stopped in time by Li Yaoguang.

"Don't panic, auntie. I've already asked someone to get a doctor when you came. He should be here soon. Now is not the time to be impulsive. The most important thing is my uncle!"

Hearing that Li Yaoguang had asked someone to call a doctor, Yu Meixue felt relieved and excited. She kept pulling Li Yaoguang to ask him all kinds of questions. Green Willow and Fangcao, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but feel excited.

How to say it, actually, they are dispensable in this marquis's mansion. Even though they were so happy in the past, they knew in their hearts that there were almost no masters in the mansion who truly accepted them, otherwise they would not have been assigned to Green Garden in the first place.

Although the status of their masters is still as bad as before, they have money now. As maids, they just hope to follow a good master and live a more comfortable life. Since the masters can do that now, they will naturally be loyal.

Now seeing that the cousin whom they once looked down upon had arranged everything properly, the two of them were glad that the pillar of Green Garden had not collapsed, and they were grateful in their hearts and spoke well of it.

However, Li Yaoguang knew their character best and did not believe their words of thanks, so he just sent them away.

"Okay, don't just stand there, go down quickly and boil some hot water. I'm sure the doctor will need it when he comes."

The two of them didn't dare to delay and quickly went back to work.
