I Woke My Vegetative Husband up After Booktransmigrating

Chapter 20

The Imperial Physician

Seeing Xiao Fan like this, Ming Liuyi felt bad. “Don’t worry, I’m fine. How’s the situation outside?”

“A lot of bodyguards suddenly arrived,” Xiao Fan replied quickly. “There are also some housekeepers I don’t recognize. The entire villa has been placed under their control. They didn’t even let me come upstairs…”

Ming Liuyi lowered her eyes. She knew that Yao Ziyang still had a plan. He wanted to put her under house arrest and take the opportunity to poison Yao Zizhou. Then, he would naturally push the blame on her. Yao Ziyang would never go easy on someone who knew his secret.

Now, her only hope was Yao Gui. Although Yao Ziyang had already taken over most of Yao Gui’s duties, Yao Gui still had the final say, be it in the family or the company.

However, Ming Liuyi was not certain. She looked at Xiao Fan. “You have to be strong. The master and I both need you.”

Xiao Fan nodded with determination. “Don’t worry, Madam. I was abandoned by my parents as a child. It was the Yao family who gave me a job and allowed me to live. I’ll protect you and Master, even if I have to risk my life. To protect the Yao family’s descendants.”

Ming Liuyi could not help but laugh. “We don’t have to risk our lives. We are not a lawless society. We just have to use the law for our own self-protection.”

“I’ll listen to you, Madam.” Xiao Fan nodded.

“Then you go down and keep an eye on them. I’m quite safe for now. You be careful, too. Let me know immediately if anything happens,” Ming Liuyi said.

Xiao Fan took her instructions and left.

At this moment, Ming Liuyi was also desperately trying to come up with a good countermeasure. Right then, Lingling’s timing could not have been better.

Lingling: [You know that prestigious family of Traditional Chinese Medicine physicians? The head of house’s youngest son, Miao Ruiming, has recently returned to the country. I’m not sure if you’ve heard of him. He may be the youngest son, but he is most definitely the next head of the family with peerless healing skills. He studied overseas to refine his theoretical knowledge of eastern medicine. Next week, he will be holding a medical forum in A City, with on-the-spot consultations available. Would you like to give it a try?]

Ming Liuyi’s eyes lit up.

Ming Liuyi: [That’s great. I’ll make arrangements now.]

Ming Liuyi plotted in her heart. If she went to Yao Ziyang directly, he would undoubtedly not agree to it, but what if she were to approach Yao Gui instead? With that in mind, she began searching online for Miao Ruiming’s details.

Miao Ruiming, 33 years old, hailed from a family with generations of doctors. His ancestor was once an imperial physician in the palace. He became renowned since the age of 21 for his skills at diagnosing and curing illnesses, but he did not stop there as he continued to improve his craft…

At this moment, Miao Miao had yet to reach A City, but his appointment schedule was already fully booked. Even so, this was not an issue for the Yao family. It was only a pity that Yao Ziyang had ordered everyone to stay silent about the news, or Yao Gui would have sought Miao Ruiming’s assistance much sooner.

Ming Liuyi thought about it and called Yao Gui directly.

When Yao Gui saw Ming Liuyi’s call, he frowned. He had previously turned a blind eye to Ming Liuyi’s antics in the Yao family as long as she did not go overboard. It was just that with increasing reports about what she had been up to, his impression of her had worsened. “What is it?”

Ming Liuyi did not let his cold demeanor get to her as she went straight to the point. “Father, do you know Miao Ruiming? He’s the heir to a prestigious family of Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners. He has recently returned to the country, and I want to invite him to come to our house to treat Zizhou. Will you be able to make arrangements?”

Yao Gui was inwardly surprised at hearing this. He initially thought that Ming Liuyi was not able to stand being in the villa anymore and wanted to make a request to leave. Even though she was indeed making a request, it was a request related to Yao Zizhou’s welfare. “I’ll have someone make the arrangements. Is there anything else?”

Ming Liuyi hesitated for a moment. “It’s just that… There’s been a sudden increase of people in the villa. Father, Yao Zizhou needs to be undisturbed in his recovery. Shouldn’t the housekeepers be dismissed? I can care for him myself.”

“Nonsense! Do you think you’d be able to manage such a huge villa?” Yao Gui snapped at her in response.

“Father…”

This time, without waiting for Ming Liuyi to continue on, Yao Gui interrupted her. “Do you truly think I do not know about your schemes? Don’t bring this up with me again.” He hung up the phone. After all, Ming Liuyi was a young lady currently taking care of a vegetable. Who knew what would happen if she was allowed to have her way without the supervision of others?

Seeing that Yao Gui had ended the call, Ming Liuyi realized that she had been too hasty. After all, she did not know what Yao Ziyang had said to Yao Gui. Even Yao Gui’s attitude towards her had changed drastically.

Ming Liuyi felt that her task was getting increasingly challenging, but at least there was one good news today. If Miao Ruiming could come and treat Yao Zizhou, he would wake up earlier, and she would be free sooner.

After a while, Lingling sent her another message.

Lingling: [Oh, I forgot one important thing. You previously donated 200,000 Yuan, correct? The chairperson of the charity foundation wants to invite you to visit the family members of the vegetative patients.]
