To Hold One's Joy Chapter 57-2

 Chapter 57-2: Divine Doctor's Visit

Divine Doctor Li was a person who could be quite unreasonable and a bit lofty at times. Luo Sheng was confident that he wouldn't provide an answer that went against his conscience. This assurance was the very reason she felt sure about seeking Divine Doctor's help as Miss Luo.

Divine Doctor Li remained silent for around 5 minutes, then gave a slight nod. "This old man is indeed interested." What interested him was who made this Yangyuan Pill, and this interest can be regarded as an item.

Luo Sheng smiled. Just as she expected, Divine Doctor Li hadn't changed. If he were interested, he would admit it straightforwardly. He will not deliberately deny it because she is Commander Luo's daughter.

"Then... would you be willing to examine my father?"

Divine Doctor Li held his breath, and his gaze affixed to the girl who posed the question. At no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, she possessed an uncommon tranquility in her eyes for her age. Strangely, this evoked the memory of another young girl.

Divine Doctor Li sighed inwardly and reluctantly nodded. He was, after all, a principled Divine Doctor.

"Now, can you tell this old man how you came by this Yangyuan Pill?" Divine Doctor Li inquired.

"Absolutely." Luo Sheng nodded briskly. "A few days back, while I was in the South, I sought medical attention due to feeling unwell. The doctor I consulted gave me this Yangyuan Pill, claiming it would help to nourish my health..."

"What is this doctor's name?" Divine Doctor Li probed.

"The locals refer to him as Divine Doctor Li, but I don't know his actual name." Luo Sheng responded.

Divine Doctor Li's expression darkened. "Where did you encounter this Divine Doctor Li?"

"In Nanyang City." Luo Sheng replied, enunciating each word.

Divine Doctor Li's expression underwent a sudden change, and he burst out, "Preposterous!"

Luo Sheng blinked, a hint of grievance in her eyes. "Why would Divine Doctor say that?"

Fueled by the idea that someone dared to impersonate him, Divine Doctor Li's anger surged, and he snapped furiously, "This old man resides in the Capital. How could there exist another Divine Doctor Li?"

"Then—the Divine Doctor Li I met is an impostor?" Luo Sheng questioned.

"Absolutely, he's a fraud!" Divine Doctor Li retorted in irritation, and his doubts deepened. A doctor capable of concocting Yangyuan Pill and assuming his identity in Nanyang City—what was happening here?

Luo Sheng looked grateful, "Fortunately, I met you today. Otherwise, I might have continued believing you were the same as the 'Divine Doctor' I met in Nanyang City."

Unlike Divine Doctor Li, who disdained lying, she was different—thicker-skinned, perhaps.

Divine Doctor Li looked at Luo Sheng, momentarily speechless. He was annoyed by people from Luo Mansion, but now he heard this young girl say that she was glad to meet him today.

He always felt this young girl was getting an advantage and putting on a façade of innocence. Yet, he couldn't pinpoint any concrete evidence. Divine Doctor Li engaged in a deep contemplation.

Luo Sheng smiled slightly: "There's no one else waiting in line behind me. Since Divine Doctor is interested in what I've brought, and my father's condition cannot be delayed, would you be willing to follow me to Luo Mansion now?"

With a stern expression, Divine Doctor Li nodded. He was the one who had set the rules, so even if he was reluctant, he still had to do it.

Luo Sheng offered a respectful bow to Divine Doctor Li. "Thank you very much."

Divine Doctor Li gazed at the girl, her elation not escaping his notice. He abruptly asked, "Are you that confident that this old man could cure your father?"

Luo Sheng stood upright and replied calmly: "I cannot be absolutely certain that you will be able to cure my father, but if there exists a single person in this world capable of such a feat, that person would undeniably be you."

Divine Doctor Li's previously stern expression relaxed slightly upon hearing the latter part of Luo Sheng's reply. He stroked his beard and snorted coldly. "Ignorant child! It goes without saying this old man can cure your father!"

Luo Sheng's lip twitched; she was speechless for a moment. Regardless of his age, the old man remained competitive.

"Why are you just standing there like a statue?" Divine Doctor Li grabbed his medicine box and marched toward the door.

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...
