The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law
Chapter 600 - 611 Rescue

Chapter 600: Chapter 611 Rescue

Miss Du was also sent back to the desolate courtyard, her maid Cuiya sobbing uncontrollably. Upon seeing Xie Qinyun, Cuiya clutched her sleeve tightly, begging incessantly while kowtowing.

"Third Miss, please save my mistress, she has fallen into the water and now she remains unconscious."

It turned out that Miss Du, though she looked terrifying as if she were dead, was still alive.

"Did someone go to fetch the doctor?"

Cuiya cried, "Concubine Du sent someone, but my mistress’s fall into the water has to do with her. She wishes nothing more than for my mistress to die. By the time her people fetch the doctor, I fear... I fear that it might already be too late for my mistress!"

Xie Qinyun frowned and said, "It’s that vixen’s doing again, becoming bolder by the day, daring to make a direct move to kill within the residence?"

"Third Miss, saving her is what’s important now. My mistress is still unconscious." Cuiya was crying so hard she was on the verge of fainting.

"Right, saving her!" Xie Qinyun came to her senses, and hurriedly instructed the maid beside her, "Go to Jisheng Hall and ask Doctor Gu to come."

Then, as if it just occurred to her, she said, "No, that’s not right. Doctor Gu has been confined to the Lin Residence these past few days, I’ll go myself. All of you stay here and guard, and don’t let that vile Concubine Du in again. Be extremely careful, and stay sharp."

"Miss, rest assured, this servant will guard the door. Not even a fly will get in before you return."

These maids and old women had been with Xie Qinyun since her childhood, and they were to follow her when she got married. Therefore, they were different from the other people in the Jie Residence; they were not afraid of Concubine Du.

...

Gu Youyou was feeding the mice when she was dragged out by Lin Qianqing.

The old women guarding the outside of her courtyard tried to stop them, but Lin Qianqing scolded them back.

"If you don’t want to die, you’d better not try to stop me. My cousin is going to save a life; if someone dies because of your delay, will you take responsibility?"

Only then did Gu Youyou realize that she was being pulled away to save someone.

Lin Qianqing was usually amiable within the Lin Residence and had never spoken to the servants like this before. The old women were silenced by her scolding and just stood there dazed, not moving.

Thus, Lin Qianqing led her out of the Lin Residence in a commanding manner.

"Whom are we going to save? You haven’t made it clear."

"Get on the carriage, then I’ll tell you," Lin Qianqing said.

In the carriage sat Xie Qinyun; after calling for Lin Qianqing, she had been waiting inside.

"Hurry, hurry, it’s a matter of life and death!" she said anxiously.

Gu Youyou had already guessed correctly; once she got on the carriage, she asked, "Is it Miss Du we’re going to save?"

"Yes, Doctor Gu, you really are astute," Xie Qinyun said with admiration.

Gu Youyou knitted her brow and said, "According to my prescription, she should have already recovered, so what happened to her now?"

Xie Qinyun replied, "It’s not the same illness as last time; she fell into the water."

"Fell into the water?" Gu Youyou and Lin Qianqing asked in surprise, both turning to look at Xie Qinyun.

"Yes, fell into the water! Alas, it’s inseparably linked to that despicable Concubine Du. Most likely, it’s her handiwork," Xie Qinyun said with resentment, cursing Concubine Du all the way.

"That heartless wretch, she’d stoop so low as to harm her own blood sister. How could we allow someone like her to stay by my second brother’s side? Du Xintong even said she wants to divorce my second brother, but Concubine Du wouldn’t even let her off, pushing Miss Du into the lotus pond. Tell me, with Miss Du’s frail health, how could she survive after falling into a lotus pond?"

After hearing this, Gu Youyou was suddenly alarmed and asked urgently, "Did she expel the water?"

"What? Expel water?" Xie Qinyun didn’t understand.

Gu Youyou rephrased her question, "Is she still alive?"

Xie Qinyun grew tense as well.
