Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

Chapter 367 Going back on one's word

Xiaoxue bit her lip and said, "I am just a maid."

Matilda raised her eyebrows and asked Wei Bingyan, "What about you?"

Jin Leimin hurriedly said that Wei Bingyan was a hostage, and she was the one who gave Gulit a comprehensive examination and treatment in the past few days.

Seeing that Wei Bingyan was not very good-looking, Matilda smiled a little, "I didn't expect there were female doctors in the Tang Dynasty."

Wei Bingyan smiled gently, "There are many unexpected things in the Tang Dynasty."

Matilda didn't seem to care much about Wei Bingyan's coldness. Instead, she paid special attention to the charming and pretty Xiaoxue. She asked Jin Leimin to take Wei Bingyan back and leave Xiaoxue to serve her.

Wei Bingyan looked at Xiaoxue with concern. As they were all women, she could naturally see that Matilda was wary of, envious of, and jealous of the women around Gulit. Xiaoxue was pretty, so Matilda probably wouldn't let her go easily.

Xiaoxue gave her a faint smile of comfort.

On the other side, Li Yuyan, disguised as a profit-seeking businessman, had reached the halfway point in his carriage and would need another day to reach Tugou City.

After Li Yunze firmly rejected the condition of mutual exchange, the messenger also set off and entered Tugou City at almost the same time as Li Yuyan, but he appeared next to Gulit without any hindrance, while Li Yuyan was stopped outside the majestic city tower.

The Rongdi soldier on the majestic city wall realized that Li Yuyan was actually a drug dealer and immediately reported it to Jin Leimin.

After Jin Leimin appeared, she failed to recognize Li Yuyan's changed face, and confiscated all the herbs on the grounds that there were obvious problems with the herbs. Only then did she let Li Yuyan and the others rush into the city.

Li Yuyan changed his face into a cowardly profit-seeking businessman. Although he was angry when his herbs were taken away, he did not dare to open his mouth. He just kept begging Jin Leimin, saying that these herbs were all his worth. He thought that this place was very short of herbs and he wanted to make a small fortune here. How could he have known that they would be confiscated.

Jin Leimin was too lazy to talk to him with meaningless nonsense, so she simply asked someone to send him some silver and ignored him.

Li Yuyan took Uncle Hai and the others to stay in a hotel in the city.

Li Yuyan and others deliberately pretended to be profit-seeking businessmen and checked into the hotel. He had already anticipated that the herbs might be confiscated. Anyway, his goal was to stay in Tugou City.

"Son-in-law, what should we do now?" Uncle Hai asked Li Yuyan intently. He was dispatched by Old Master Wei to protect Wei Bingyan, but now Wei Bingyan fell into Gulit's hands. He really didn't have the face to go back to face Old Master Wei. After talking to Li Yuyan, Uncle Hai was very worried about Wei Bingyan's safety.

Li Yuyan said: "Since Bingyan can send someone to pass the message, we have a way to let her know that we have come to rescue her."

"Sir, I just heard others say that Gulit burned many patients with enteric fever to death due to his high temperature." Bai Binghui said.

"Huh?" Li Yuyan, who had been thinking about Wei Bingyan these days, had not heard anyone else talk about this matter. When he heard Bai Binghui say this, he immediately became interested, "What's going on?"

Bai Binghui told all the information she had gathered, "…If the Rongdi people had not been so cruel and horrible, the civilians in Tugou City would have certainly resisted them. How could they be burned to death? It was really a cause and effect, and he was also infected with enteric fever."

Li Yuyan's eyes twitched slightly, "Gulit is gradually getting sick with enteric fever?"

"Yes, but I heard from others that he has been cured..." Bai Binghui just said it, and immediately thought of Wei Bingyan who was good at medical skills, and her face turned pale with fear, "Sir, that Gulit will not use some method to threaten the young lady to give him careful treatment, right?"

It was no secret that Wei Bingyan had medical skills. If Gulit was interested, he could find out. Moreover, in the absence of medicinal herbs, it was probably only Wei Bingyan who could cure enteritis.

In fact, not everything that was spread outside was true. If Wei Bingyan really couldn't completely cure Gulit's enteritis with just a few needles, the medicine that Matilda sent over was what really worked.

"It's really a beautiful thing that he caught enteric fever." Li Yuyan didn't know what he was thinking about, and a very strange smile appeared on his lips.

Bai Binghui didn't understand what he meant, so she looked directly at Uncle Hai. Uncle Hai still had a cold expression on his face, and it seemed that he didn't know what Li Yuyan was thinking.

"If he gets sick with enteric fever, he will be burned to death. Why not burn him to death?" Li Yuyan said softly, "The civilians here don't have the courage to resist because they don't know whether the Tang Dynasty can really defeat the Rongdi people. Just give them some courage to resist the Rongdi people."

After listening to this, Uncle Hai looked at Li Yuyan and said, "Does the uncle seem to have a good way to deal with it?"

Li Yuyan smiled softly, "I'll go to Gulit first and then come back to discuss how to rescue Bingyan."

"I'll go with you." Uncle Hai said.

"Uncle Hai, I have something urgent for you to do." Li Yuyan curled his lips and softly told Uncle Hai to visit the homes of those patients who were burned to death.

Everyone was doing their own thing, Li Yuyan still had the same expression on his face. His herbs were confiscated by Jin Leimin, so now he was impatient to find an opportunity to make money. There were many Rongdi people in Tugou City, so Li Yuyan was not afraid of being discovered for this reason.

He seemed to appear by chance near the large and comfortable house where Gullit lived, and noticed that the house was guarded by Rongdi soldiers. The guards were very strict and there were few loopholes. Even if he had excellent skills, he could not guarantee that he could sneak in quietly.

Who knows, there might be more rigorous defenses with fewer loopholes inside.

Li Yuyan frowned and thought for a while, then led the carriage and prepared to pass through the road in front of the comfortable residence. However, before he got close to the door of the comfortable residence, he was stopped by two Rongdi soldiers with loud and stern voices.

The two men whispered to each other and shouted loudly, asking Li Yuyan not to come near here.

"I'm sorry." Li Yuyan pretended not to understand their Rongdi language, "I just want to go over there to take a look. Can you two brothers give me some convenience?"

"You dog from the Tang Dynasty, get out of here." One of them cursed in the Tang Dynasty dialect with spit flying everywhere.

Li Yuyan suppressed his anger for a very long time before he didn't kill him mercilessly with a powerful slap.

Since it is gradually impossible to get close to that comfortable home at this time, we just need to wait until nightfall and try again.

……

Matilda drove out all of Gulit's aunts. Two of them refused to leave, so Matilda killed them immediately. As for Xiaoxue, no one knew how she managed to stay.
