Chapter 296 You quack doctor!
"Alright, come in first. I'll send someone to fetch Doctor Zhou right away."
Gu Qingzhe hurriedly had someone help Gu Yunwei into the front hall, and then ordered someone to fetch a doctor. Looking at his younger sister's blood-covered face, his eyes were filled with shock.
Not long after, Dr. Zhou arrived.
"Doctor, can my face ever fully recover?"
Gu Yunwei only knew that her face was injured while she was in prison, but she didn't know how serious it was.
It wasn't until she arrived at the Gu family and saw herself in the bronze mirror that she realized how crazy Lin Ruolan was; such a terrible wound had practically slashed half of her face!
Dr. Zhou hadn't expected the situation to be so complicated. Facing Gu Yunwei's anxious gaze, he said with a complicated expression, "This injury is too deep. It's almost impossible to avoid leaving a scar."
Gu Yunwei's expression changed, and she said sternly, "What do you mean it's impossible? It's clearly because you're a quack doctor with poor medical skills!"
"Third Brother, I don't want this doctor to treat me. Go and get me another doctor right away!"
"No, I need to summon the imperial physician. Please go and fetch him for me."
Doctor Zhou was one of the most renowned doctors in the capital. His elder brother worked in the Imperial Hospital. The reason he didn't go to the Imperial Hospital was because his family also had a clinic.
Therefore, the two brothers agreed that one would go to the Imperial Medical Academy and the other would continue to run the family's century-old medical clinic. In terms of medical skills, he was no less skilled than the imperial physicians.
Now that Gu Yunwei had said that, his expression naturally turned sour. "In that case, Third Master, you should find another good doctor."
Seeing that Doctor Zhou was packing his things and preparing to leave, Gu Qingzhe felt embarrassed.
"Dr. Zhou, it's a big deal that the woman's face has been disfigured. She can't accept it right away, so please don't take it to heart."
Upon hearing this, Doctor Zhou's expression softened somewhat, and he said, "The wounds on her face are extremely deep, and it's impossible for her not to leave scars. You might as well ask the imperial physician to take a look."
Having practiced medicine for many years, he can tell at a glance which injuries might not leave scars and which injuries are bound to leave scars.
The other party was determined to ruin her appearance. The wound not only tore through the surface skin, but also tore the flesh inside. To expect her to be as smooth as before was nothing short of a pipe dream!
Seeing that Gu Qingzhe had politely seen Doctor Zhou off, Gu Yunwei's face showed dissatisfaction.
"Third brother, why don't you hurry up and fetch the imperial physician for me?"
"I've already sent someone to fetch him, but the imperial physician is in the palace; it'll be a while before he arrives," Gu Qingzhe said helplessly. "What exactly happened to your injury?"
"Isn't it all because of that bitch Lin Ruolan? First she got me thrown in jail, then she ruined my face. But she's going to be executed tomorrow, she deserves it!"
Gu Yunwei's face was full of malice; she wished she could tear Lin Ruolan to pieces!
"Isn't that Shuangshuang's mother-in-law? She's to be executed tomorrow?"
Gu Yunwei nodded, "She deserves it! How could she possibly be worthy of being Shuangshuang's mother-in-law?"
As she spoke, she glanced outside and couldn't help but ask, "I'm back now, so why haven't my father, mother, and older brothers come to see me?"
"Father isn't home, Mother isn't feeling well and is sleeping right now, as for my eldest and second eldest brothers..."
Gu Qingzhe hesitated, wondering how he could tell Yun Wei that her eldest and second brothers had gone to the Song family and hadn't returned yet.
Just then, sounds came from outside; it was Gu Qingyan and Gu Qingxiu talking with smiles on their faces.
"I knew before that the Song family's fried chicken business was extremely successful, and people in the capital city who had tried it praised it highly, but I never had the chance to try it myself."
It smells delicious just from the aroma. When Mother wakes up later, I'll let her try some too.
Gu Qingxiu had a big smile on her face. Compared to the worries she had when she went to the Song family, she was in a much better mood when she returned.
On the one hand, they had obtained medicine for their mother, and on the other hand, according to Miss Song, they should come back for a consultation in seven days, which might improve their mother's health.
On the other hand, they hadn't had much contact with the Song family for so many years, and now the ice had finally been broken. From now on, the two families could meet openly and honestly. Thinking of Song Lin, their brother with whom they hadn't had a drink in a long time, they felt indescribably happy.
"The Song family are all good children, each one more capable than the last," Gu Qingyan couldn't help but praise.
In the entire capital, there are probably few families that can compare to them; all their children are successful. What a blessing this is!
"Song Yanzhou is getting married in a few days, so we need to prepare a generous gift," Gu Qingxiu said with a smile.
Gu Yunwei was overjoyed to hear that her two older brothers had arrived, thinking that they would soften their hearts after seeing how serious her injuries were. However, she never expected to hear them praising the Song family repeatedly.
"Shuangshuang and I were imprisoned because of the Gu family. As my brothers, you not only didn't help us, but you even went to befriend the Song family? How could you do this to me?"
The two Gu brothers were chatting and laughing happily when suddenly a ghost-like face rushed out and questioned them sharply, startling them both.
"Where did this ghost come from?" Gu Qingyan asked subconsciously.
Gu Qingxiu took a closer look. Although half of her face was grotesque, he could still recognize the woman in front of him as Gu Yunwei from the other half.
He unconsciously frowned. "How did you end up looking like this?"
Gu Yunwei was furious when the two of them said she was a ghost. "If the Song family hadn't caused me to go to jail, how could I have become like this?"
Knowing I'm suffering in prison, you still have the nerve to laugh and joke while buying fried chicken! I'm your own sister! Don't you have any conscience?!
Gu Qingyan frowned. "So, you mean the Song family had someone torture you in jail?"
They didn't believe this at all. Not to mention that the Song family wouldn't use such methods, even if they did, they would take her life directly, not just disfigure her.
"Yunwei's face was slashed by Lin Ruolan." Gu Qingzhe came out and explained, then couldn't help but say, "Big brother, second brother, she's heartbroken right now because she's disfigured. Please let her be and don't upset her any further."
Gu Qingyan naturally knew about the commotion caused by Lin Ruolan and Gu Yunwei. Because it had reached the palace, the two brothers were also ridiculed when they went to court.
Neither of them is easy to deal with, so it's no surprise that they got together. They also know that Lin Ruolan is going to be beheaded, so it's not hard to guess why Gu Yunwei was disfigured. What does this have to do with the Song family?
“Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. Since it was Lin Ruolan who did it, then seek revenge on Lin Ruolan. She’s going to be beheaded tomorrow. Aren’t you satisfied?” Gu Qingyan said calmly.
Gu Yunwei was angry and then felt wronged, "Don't you feel any pity for me at all that I've become like this?"
"You will not live if you do your own evil."
Gu Qingyan casually uttered a sentence, turned around and left. Ever since Gu Yunwei broke his heart, all her tears seemed particularly fake in front of him.
Besides... was she really wronged by her injuries?
If they hadn't harbored malicious intentions, they wouldn't have ended up like this!
