Luo Kui was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, he let go of Ninth Lady, raised his hand and gave the person who reported the news a slap in the ear.
The person who reported the news was clearly the same person who had previously snatched Li Tannian's formula, and was beaten up by Li Tannian with a black nose and a swollen face.
At this moment, the swelling on his face had not subsided, and Luo Kui slapped him again, and half of his face suddenly became swollen again.
"You bastard! It's a great event for your young lady to come back. It would be bad if you let Pingting know about it. I don't know how angry she will be! Come on, why don't you follow me out to greet people!"
Taking advantage of her relaxation, Jiu Niangzi hurried up, pulled Li Tannian and walked outside.
At this moment, Luo Kui on the side seemed to have thought of something again, and pointed at the Ninth Lady and said: "Arrest her, but I can't let her appear in front of you ladies!"
As soon as the voice fell, someone came over supporting a slender woman in white clothes.
The woman was extremely tall and wore a curtain hat, which made it difficult to see her appearance. She had been coughing since she entered the door and had to be helped even when she walked. She looked completely sick.
"That is Wu Pingting, the eldest daughter of the Wu family who has been suffering from tuberculosis since she was a child. The surnamed Luo wants to marry the eldest daughter of the Wu family. He likes to show off in front of her. He will not dare to embarrass us in front of her.
It’s over.” Jiu Niangzi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Li Tannian kindly reminded her, “It’s you he’s making trouble for, not me.”
"Why don't you say it carefully!" Luo Kui glared at the little follower whose face was swollen by him. The other man quickly protected his face and hesitated, "You, you didn't wait for me to finish.
"
Luo Kui glared at him again, then walked towards the tall figure with a sticky attitude.
"Cousin, why are you here? Why didn't you tell someone earlier so that I could go to the county to pick you up."
Wu Pingting didn't speak. She held a kerchief in one hand and covered her chest with the other. The coughing got worse and worse, as if she wanted to cough out her lungs.
This frightened everyone around. Luo Kui hurriedly said: "Doctor, please send someone to find the doctor quickly."
There was chaos in the restaurant, and everyone embraced Miss Wu to the private room on the second floor.
Li Tannian turned to look at Jiu Niangzi: "I'm afraid Luo Kui won't let you go easily. I'll help you deal with him. What benefits will you give me?"
Jiu Niangzi was stunned for a moment, and then Fu Zhi said in her heart: "I will let my brother be your wife!"
Li Tannian twitched the corner of her mouth. She wanted to say that I really don't know if there is a word of truth in your mouth, but for the sake of the future powerful minister, she finally said quietly: "Don't forget what you said."
Jiu Niangzi nodded, she wished that her brother could be Li Tannian's wife. If Li Tannian could make money, he would not lose her brother.
However, she never expected that Li Tannian would directly hand over the two children to the one named Xiao Taohong and go directly to the private room upstairs.
The eldest daughter of the Wu family had just been helped to the private room. She looked like her life was in danger. What was Li Tannian doing at this time?
"Hey!" Jiu Niangzi suddenly became a little worried about Li Tannian. She wanted to go over and pull someone away, but a group of minions blocked her way.
"What are you doing? Master Biao asked us to keep an eye on you. You are not allowed to go anywhere. Be honest!"
Jiu Niangzi gritted her teeth and had no choice but to say to Li Tannian: "You should pay more attention to yourself!"
When Li Tannian went to the private room, he saw Luo Kui standing at the door of the courtyard miserably, saying politely to a girl: "Just let me go in and see my cousin. After all, I can't trust my cousin like this. Although I
I can't do anything, but I can stay with her."
There was no sign of relief on the girl's face: "Young Master, men and women are not allowed to have sex. My young lady is not feeling well. She just wants to see the doctor now, not you."
"Your lady and I are an unmarried couple, so we don't care about those vulgar etiquette. How could you be more accommodating and let me in to see your lady?"
Luo Kui smiled apologetically, took some silver coins from his body and stuffed them into the maid's hand.
The maid frowned, her face full of impatience, and she was about to have a fit when Li Tannian walked over.
"Let me take a look at your lady's condition. I can cure her illness."
Tuberculosis was indeed a fatal disease in ancient times. However, there were many good medicines in her pharmacy. She thought that she could also control that person's condition.
"Are you a doctor?" The maid was stunned and looked Li Tannian up and down for a while. She couldn't help but wonder, after all, there were very few female doctors in Daqing.
As soon as Luo Kui saw Li Tannian, his expression changed.
He was afraid that Li Tannian would tell the story about Shicai, so he quickly said: "How could she be a doctor? She is just a female liar. Don't believe her."
As he was talking, there was another violent coughing sound in the room. The little maid became anxious. Seeing that the doctor was still not coming, she simply pulled Li Tannian and walked into the room.
"No, she is just a female liar. Why did you bring her in? I think she is just trying to steal Pingting's belongings!"
Luo Kui hurriedly chased after Li Tannian, wanting to drive Li Tannian away, but as soon as he stepped on the threshold, the carved wooden door of the elegant room was slammed shut!
Luo Kui almost got his nose pinched by the door. He touched his nose angrily and said repeatedly: "Pingting, that woman is a liar. Don't believe her. Open the door for me quickly. Don't let her succeed."
Got it!"
But in the elegant room, no one answered her at all.
The little attendant on the side paused and couldn't help but said in a low voice: "Master Cousin, do you think this young lady looks very familiar to you?"
Luo Kui glared at her and wanted to curse, but an idea flashed in his mind and he immediately thought of it.
It's her, the crayfish seller!
"Why is she here? By the way, do you have the formula in your hands?" After Luo Kui asked, the little follower beside him immediately lowered his head.
"Okay, I seem to be here to deliver the eels... Young Master Cousin, she was the one who beat the little ones like this. The little ones were afraid that you would be angry, so they never dared to say anything before."
"Are you even afraid of a woman like this?" Luo Kui was annoyed and wished he could shave his useless hand again, but when he saw his newly swollen face, he still looked away in disgust.
"Hmph, if you don't eat the toast, you will have to drink it as a fine! The person who beat me dares to deliver goods to me. Go, take out those eels of hers, and let her get away with them later!"
After Luo Kui finished speaking, the little follower nodded tremblingly and hurried to do it.
At this moment, Li Tannian in the private room had already checked Miss Wu's pulse.
This Miss Wu looks very thin, but the joints of her wrists are slightly thicker than those of ordinary women, which is a bit strange.
"Can you please lift up the curtain, girl? I'll check the girl's tongue coating."
As soon as Li Tannian finished speaking, the other party started coughing violently again. The little maid handed him the silk handkerchief. After a while, the snow-white silk handkerchief was covered with blood.
