To Hold One's Joy Chapter 18-2

 Chapter 18-2: Breaking a Fever

Luo Sheng's tone remained emotionless as she replied, "The doctors are helpless." Her statements seemed to assert that she was right. Sheng Jiayu was too infuriated to speak.

Sheng Dataitai tried to console her daughter and gently patted her arm. She then asked Luo Sheng, "Do you know anything about medicine?"

"No, I don't," Luo Sheng responded Luo Sheng said frankly.

"Since that's the case, even if the doctors are helpless, they are still better than an ordinary person with no medical knowledge. Wouldn't you agree, Miss Luo?" Just as she spoke, the two doctors who had been staying at the Sheng Mansion rushed over, and one of the doctors with a slender physique exclaimed, "What medicine did the patient take?"

Sheng Jiayu pointed at Luo Sheng and said, "My Biaojie brought it and claimed it's a fever-reducing pill."

The thin doctor's anger was evident as his beard trembled. Driven by his sense of responsibility, he sternly reprimanded: "Nonsense! Treating a fever requires employing various methods. There are no special pills specifically for reducing fever!"

Wang dafu, who came in with the thin doctor, suddenly felt an ominous premonition when he laid eyes on Luo Sheng. Miss Luo asked him to make some pills yesterday. It can't be——

As his worries grew, he heard Luo Sheng say, "Wang dafu made the pills." All eyes immediately turned towards him. Wang Dafu's complexion darkened, and he felt he might faint.

The thin doctor shook his head repeatedly, wearing a pained expression on his face. He addressed Wang Dafu with disappointment, saying, "Brother Wang, I never expected you to be involved in such matters. If anything happens to the patient, you will bear full responsibility!"

Having spoken his piece, the doctor examined Luo Chen's condition, leaving Wang Dafu drenched in a cold sweat. Hongdou couldn't help but curl her lips and muttered softly, "He certainly knows how to shift the blame smoothly." She was all too familiar with such tactics, considering Miss Luo's propensity for trouble.

The thin doctor touched Luo Chen's forehead with a grave expression, only to suddenly freeze. Witnessing the drastic change in his face, Sheng Dataitai anxiously inquired, "Li dafu, what's the matter?"

Li dafu's medical skills are generally recognized to be superior to Wang dafu's. The reason why the Sheng family invited Wang dafu at first was that Li dafu had gone to visit another patient and only come back this morning.

"The fever has gone down." Li dafu said blankly. Sheng Dataitai thought she heard it wrong: "What?"

Wang dafu dashed forward, pushed Li dafu aside, and reached his hand to Luo Chen's forehead. His expression changed constantly and finally turned into ecstasy: "The fever has gone down, really gone!" He no longer had to be responsible for giving random medications!

Li dafu, who had been pushed aside, snapped out of his daze, grabbed Wang dafu, and said excitedly, "Brother Wang, have you really developed a special fever-reducing pill?" Wang Dafu was dizzy from being shaken by Li Dafu and couldn't speak for a moment.

"Brother Wang, I apologize for my earlier inappropriate remarks. I have some questions. Can I seek your guidance?"

Wang dafu quickly regained his composure and glanced at Luo Sheng. It was true that he had made the pills, but the pill's formula had been given by this Miss Luo!

Luo Sheng looked calm and unaffected by the commotion unfolding before her.

At this moment, Wang dafu had a thought — although he didn't know how Miss Luo had come across such a miraculous prescription, perhaps as a noble lady, she neither cared nor realized the value of such a prescription? And he still remembered the pill's prescription…

Wang Dafu's heart skipped a beat. Greed began to creep in as he listened to the compliments from Li Dafu, his long-time rival.

"Two doctors," Luo Sheng spoke up, catching the attention of Wang Dafu and Li Dafu. They turned to look at her.

"I entrust my brother's further treatment to the two of you."

THOJ Chapter 1

 TO HOLD'S ONE JOY  Chapter 1: Devil Incarnate Luo Sheng gazed at the engraved silver incense ball beneath the emerald green curtain. Her eyes, which before had been full of vigor, seemed a little dull now, and the chattering of the little maid in her ears became louder as a result. "Miss, isn't it just a Su Er Gongzi [1] ? If you like him, you could capture him directly, but hanging yourself for him is not worth it, hu hu hu..." Luo Sheng shifted her gaze to the little maid who was crying at the bedside. This little maid's name is Hongdou (red bean), and she can speak and cry at the same time. It's been three days since she heard Hongdou's chatters, and she's gained a general understanding of her situation. Her present body, Luo Sheng, is the daughter of the powerful Commander Luo, the chief commander of Jinlin Guards. She was sent to her maternal ancestral home in Jinsha County, the Sheng family's mansion, where she currently resides, after getti...

THOJ Chapter 2

  Chapter 2: Unsweet Twisted Melon At the Su Mansion, which is only across the street from Sheng Mansion, the atmosphere is very tense. In the room, Sheng Dataitai and Su Taitai were discussing the marriage, while in the courtyard stood several juniors, each with an angry face. "Erge, why don't you go in and talk with Mother? What if she really agrees? A young girl in a green dress looked anxious and tugged on the sleeve of a young man. The young man, about 16 or 17 years old, was Su Yao, Su family ergongzi, who was known throughout Jinsha County and even Jinling Prefecture as a handsome man, comparable to Pan An and Song Yu. Su Yao is supporting the magnolia in the courtyard, which is in full bloom. His eyes are calmly looking toward the room's entrance.  Another girl in a pomegranate skirt snorted and said angrily, " Jiejie , don't talk nonsense; how could Mother agree to someone like Luo Sheng?" Su Daguniang glanced at her younger sister and lowered her vo...

To Hold One's Joy Chapter 64

Chapter 64: Kaiyang Wang's Greetings Luo Sheng returned to the Luo Mansion and went straight to her room, never stepping outside again. Si Nan had been freed, but it left her feeling burdened. After all, her heart wasn't made of iron. Pingli was furious upon learning that Luo Sheng had killed Si Nan. "Didn't Fifth Brother accompany Third Miss? Why did you allow her to lay her hands on the criminal?" he demanded of Yundong. "Third Miss said that she wanted to speak privately with Si Nan... I'm sorry, Eldest Brother, I didn't anticipate that Third Miss would take such action," Yundong apologized, though his heart harbored no remorse. The man was killed in Jinlin Guards Prison, so the news would remain suppressed unless Pingli chose to disclose it. Pingli might have considered leaking the information if Godfather had not regained consciousness. However, now that Godfather was awake, he didn't think Pingli dared to do so. Pingli obviously also un...
