Chapter 963 -963: The Right to Say No
Old He’s words brought a ruthless glint to Di Yelei’s face!
He couldn’t help but stand and quickly paced twice around the room, then suddenly turned back.
“Old He, you said Sisi didn’t contract smallpox but was poisoned with a weird poison. How sure are you this is true?”
“This old man hasn’t seen Sisi personally. I can only speak from the symptoms you described and what I observed from you all. I’m about sixty to seventy percent certain,” Old He did not speak with complete confidence.
For a divine doctor like him, a sixty to seventy percent certainty was almost an affirmation.
Di Yelei’s complexion turned ashen, yet when he lifted his head again after a moment, his face was filled with resolve.
“Thank you, Old He, for your candidness. Ye Lei has urgent matters to attend to and will visit you another day. I ask that you stay in Wanzhou Prefecture for a few more days; Ye Lei would be honored to receive your teachings!”
Old He waved his hand dismissively, as if brushing away a mosquito, “That’s alright! You are now Old Master Marquis, adorned with the duty of an Imperial Inspection Envoy. It’s inevitable that you’re busy. Whenever you’re free, come visit this old man. But leave the children here; they can keep this old man company and relieve my boredom.”
“Then Ye Lei is truly grateful to Old He.”
Di Yelei said a few more words of thanks, then repeatedly instructed the children before immediately returning to his room to discuss matters with Di Hongyuan.
The children had lunch with Old He, and seeing that he seemed a bit tired, they took their leave.
Once everyone had left, Old He sprang to his feet with renewed energy and walked towards his room.
He didn’t go for a nap right away; after a moment, his figure reappeared at the doorway, quickly making his way down the hostel’s corridor to the other end of the small courtyard, where he gently knocked on the door of one of the rooms. This was where the servants and servants lived.
His fingers rhythmically tapped lightly on the door three times, each sequence with different durations and intensities. After a moment, the door silently opened a crack, and he slipped inside.
The room was very dark, and with his head bowed in utmost deference, he approached the figure in the shadows and bowed.
“Master! As we speculated, the Young Master indeed has not contacted Di Yelei. However, upon indirectly probing the latter, he seems unaware of the Young Master’s poisoning. It appears this weird poison wasn’t his doing to the Young Master.”
“Are you so confident in your judgment? Humph!”
A low female voice came from the shadows.
Old He’s lips moved as if to argue but ultimately he remained silent, “What should we do at present? Should we continue with the original plan or…?”
The other party was silent for a long time before finally speaking, her voice filled with exhaustion, “We haven’t found the person yet. What else can we do if not continue with the original plan? A bunch of idiots! So many people looking after one girl who couldn’t even hurt a fly, and yet they’ve lost her!”
“Our people have found out that initially, the Young Master was running a high fever and was passed around and sold by several child traders. We know she ended up somewhere between Wanzhou Prefecture and Hezhou; to find her exact whereabouts will require more effort.”
“Keep looking. We must find her within one month. Tell them I have no wish to harbor a bunch of useless people!”
The low voice of the woman came with a cold huff.
Old He’s body trembled slightly, and once again he bowed deeply, “Your subordinate understands.”
“Old He, speaking of which, Sisi grew up right under your watch, and after all these years, her respect for you is genuine. You must not let me down!”
Although that shadow was hidden in the dark, it made Old He feel an inexplicable pressure.
“Rest assured, Master! Your subordinate will give it his all.”

While everyone was turning the nearby towns upside down in their search, Liu Sisi lived through a hellish existence at the moment.
The internal injuries on her body were healing rapidly, and Young Master Wuxin’s medical skills were indeed no boast, quite skillful indeed.
In just two or three days, the chest that hurt with the slightest movement showed significant improvement. What Liu Sisi found hard to accept was that Young Master Wuxin almost came every day to draw her blood, and although the amount each time was not much, it was difficult to bear with him doing so three times a day.
Then there were those various pills and bowls of pitch-black soup medicine, seemingly as if they were free, all consumed by Liu Sisi. She spent her days frequently traveling between the restroom and her bed, which was an agonizing experience.
Midway through, she tried to send a message to Granny Peng, but the little maid taking care of her named Chenchen stopped her.
“Miss, without the Young Master’s permission, this servant cannot send a letter for Madam. I hope Madam will not make things difficult for this lowly servant.”
Liu Sisi: “…”
She did want to make things difficult for her, but truly, she could not bring herself to do such a thing.
“Madam, you need not fear our Young Master. Although Young Master Wuxin is heartless, he has never actively deceived any young ladies with false sentiments. He is particularly serious only with you, Miss. You must know although our Young Master hasn’t formally completed his apprenticeship, he has already treated countless patients, most of whom came to him on their own initiative…”
The little maid Chenchen talked non-stop about all sorts of rumors concerning Young Master Wuxin.
About what food he liked and disliked, what clothes he preferred and disfavored, which day he gave an extra glance to some girl, and which daughter was bewitched by his beauty and threw herself at him…
Liu Sisi summarized in her heart; after all, this was just a big young master spoiled by his family, and here she was, unlucky enough to be caught by him for experimentation.
“Miss, you need not worry. If our Young Master does not wish to do something, not even eight horses could pull him back. You see, we have been wandering the common society for half a year, encountered many difficult and complex illnesses on the road, yet our Young Master had no desire to lift a finger.”
“When our Young Master carried you back, even Third Grandmaster almost dropped his jaw, and it took a long time before he closed it. You probably don’t know, but our Young Master despises touching women’s bodies the most. That’s why everyone was so shocked seeing him carry you back personally.”
So she was that unlucky!
Liu Sisi understood the meaning of Young Master Wuxin; he must have seen the weird poison in her body as special, which prompted him to take action. She had a feeling that not only was he outwardly cold, but his heart was probably cold as well! She still needed to find a way to escape from here as soon as possible.
So that night, when Young Master Wuxin once again came to treat her, she brought it up.
“Do you think you still have the right to refuse in front of me, I the Young Master, nowadays?”
Young Master Wuxin, with his nostrils flaring, did not take Liu Sisi’s ideas seriously in the slightest.
