World-shaking First Daughter: Powerful Medical Princess Chapter 94 - Haunted

Chapter 94 Haunted

Drinking until late at night, Su Lun stumbled onto the carriage with the help of a pageboy and returned to Su Mansion.

It was already late at night. Although it was before curfew, there were almost no pedestrians on the street, with only the sound of carriages.

Su Lun was lying sleepily in the carriage. Before he could fall asleep, the carriage was suddenly violently b.u.mped, and Su Lun was thrown out of the carriage!

“My Lord!”

“Oh no, My Lord is hurt!”

A panic shout spread throughout Su Mansion. An had just finished taking a bath and was about to sit down. Hearing this, she immediately put on her clothes and went out. Even Su Muge’s courtyard was shocked.

“What, what’s up?” As soon as An walked out, she saw Su Lun with a b.l.o.o.d.y face was carried in. An was so frightened that she had forgotten Su Muge’s medical skills and hurriedly asked to find a doctor.

Su Lun, completely fainted, was carried into the room.

“What the h.e.l.l is going on?!” An asked with a sullen face.

“Madam, at that time, My Lord…” The coachman retold the situation tremblingly. “I don’t know why there was a huge pit on the road. My Lord didn’t hold on and fell out of the carriage…” His head b.u.mped into the stone!

“Madam, the doctor is here! The doctor is here!”

The doctor, who was carried in, rapidly approached Su Lun to dress the wound on his head.

“What’s the matter, doctor?” An asked anxiously.

“Madam, rest a.s.sured. Lord Su has just broken his head. He’ll be fine as long as he recuperates carefully for some time.”

Hearing this, An secretly exhaled a sigh of relief. “Thank you, Doctor. Li Mama, see the doctor off.”

“Yes.”

Su Muge had also received the message, but she didn’t go there; she didn’t want to give medical treatment to Su Lun.

“Mumu, how is your father?” Zhao was very worried about Su Lun.

“Mother, if you can’t rest a.s.sured, let’s go to see him.”

Zhao nodded, ordered the maids to take care of little Wenmo and went out of Peachblossom Courtyard with Su Muge.

By the time they arrived at the main courtyard, outsiders had already retreated from Su Lun’s room with An and two maids staying inside.

“Madam, the eldest Madam and the eldest Miss are here.”

An glanced at Su Lun, who was drunk and unconscious with a flushed face, and stood up, saying, “Just tell them My Lord has already slept and let them go back.”

“Yes.”

The maid delivered the message, and Su Muge didn’t care. They had come, so no one could accuse them of being absent.

“Then, thank Madam for taking good care of father.”

Su Lun woke up at noon the next day.

When he came to himself, he felt aches and pains all over as if he had been trampled on.

He opened his eyes strenuously and saw the pale-faced An fall asleep with her head supported by her hands beside him.

An was soon awakened by Su Lun’s movement.

“My Lord, you are awake.”

An stepped forward weakly and unsteadily and helped Su Lun sit up.

“What’s wrong with me?”

“My Lord, don’t you remember?” An’s eyes suddenly turned red and she told him what happened last night.

“My Lord pa.s.ses that road every day. How could you suddenly have an accident? I was so terrified when they carried you back.”

Li Mama came in with a bowl of medicine.

“My Lord, Madam, the medicine is ready.”

An took over the bowl and fed the medicine to Su Lun.

“I asked the coachman of the carriage last night. He is a veteran in our mansion. He said the ground was clearly smooth at that time, but a pit came out unexpectedly. He really had no time to take precautions. It is really weird, Madam. Do you think it’s haunted?!”

Hearing Li Mama’s words, Su Lun put on a sullen face.

“Nonsense! Confucius said we shouldn’t discuss G.o.ds and ghosts!” Su Lun rebuked angrily.

An hurriedly handed Su Lun a bowl of mouthwash. “Don’t be angry. Li Mama just said it casually!”

As soon as An’s words came out, the bowl of mouthwash in her hand tilted and fell on the ground.

“Madam, what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare me!” Li Mama came forward to support An nervously.

An frowned and shook her head in Li Mama’s arms. “It’s okay. I just feel dizzy suddenly.”

“Madam has frequently been feeling dizzy these days. The doctor has come and seen her but found no problem. What’s going on?” Li Mama’s eyes turned red with anxiety.

So Lun looked at An seriously and found her much thinner than before; her cheeks were sunken and her face was terribly pale.

“What’s wrong with her?”

Li Mama knelt down. “My Lord, I must say it even if it will irritate you. Without any signs, Madam suddenly has a headache for no reason. And My Lord, you’ve had an accident too. And I heard the young master has also been very unwell these days. I think the mansion must have been haunted!”

“What did you say? The young master is also sick?”

“Yes, My Lord, the maid going on night patrol said she had heard the cry of the young master for several nights, which has never occurred before.”

It might be a coincidence if one of the things happened, but the things happened one after another at the same time, which was really weird.

“My Lord, what about inviting a Taoist priest to exorcise the evil?”

Exorcism was not an unusual thing in this era; Su Lun didn’t reply with a sullen face.

“Mama, don’t talk nonsense. All of these are just a coincidence. How could there be monsters and ghosts?!”

“Madam, it’s not …”

“Well, don’t mention this matter anymore. You may retreat.”

Hearing Su Lun’s words, Li Mama knowingly stopped her speech.

“Yes, please excuse my departure.”

Su Lun was not seriously injured on the head, so he went to attend the morning court the next day.

It was a normal day. After leaving his office, his colleagues invited him to go to the restaurant. Su Lun couldn’t refuse and joined them.

At the door of the restaurant, a Taoist priest came out from inside.

He was wearing a steel-gray Taoist robe; his hair and beard were already white; his eyes were as serene as water. At first glance, he was an enlightened eminent Taoist priest. Su Lun stepped aside to show his courtesy to him.

Unexpectedly, the priest stopped at Su Lun, with his serene eyes fixed on him.

“Master, have you been disturbed by evil spirits recently?”

Su Lun stiffened his body and looked at the old Taoist priest in shock.

“If the evil spirits aren’t expelled, your family can’t be peaceful. If you want to exorcise them, find me in the Tongyuan Inn.” The old Taoist priest walked past him with his voice drowned in the crowd.

“Lord Su, what are you looking at? The meal is ready. Come on.”

Su Lun was pulled into the restaurant by his colleagues, but the old Taoist priest’s words were still lingering in his mind.

This evening, Su Lun didn’t dare to be drunk and remained very sober.

After getting into the carriage, he lifted the curtain and kept watching the road outside. Every year, the imperial court would repair the bluestone road on the main street, so these roads had always been the smoothest. When the carriage got close to the scene of his accident, he paid more attention to the road.

With a strained heart, he always felt that something was to happen. But the carriage pa.s.sed smoothly; there was no pit at all!

Could it be that the coachman was afraid of being punished and made an excuse?

Thinking so, Su Lun was increasingly convinced of this possibility. Then he withdrew his hand holding the curtain. As soon as the curtain was lowered, he suddenly caught sight of a black figure rushing into a dark alley in the front.

Su Lun subconsciously lifted the curtain again, only to find nothing.

“I don’t believe it! Stop at the alley in the front.”

The coachman didn’t know what Su Lun was going to do, but he did as he said.

“Go into that alley to see if there is anyone in it.”

“Yes.” The coachman got off the carriage and went into the alley.

Su Lun sat in the carriage watching the alley until the coachman came out.

“My Lord, no one is inside.”

Su Lun’s pupils shrank. “Are you sure no one is inside?”

“My Lord, I’m sure there is no one inside. It’s a dead end with no house inside. How could there be any people?”

“What? It’s a dead end!?” Su Lun widened his eyes in shock.

He did have seen someone rushing in without coming out!

Could it be that…

Su Lun shook his head and asked the coachman to send him back to Su Mansion immediately.

That night, Su Lun had constant nightmares, dreaming of the black figure coming to him and chocking him fiercely. He was scared to death with his clothes wetted with sweat.

“My Lord, what’s wrong with you? Did you have nightmares last night?”

Su Lun stiffly turned to look at An’s increasingly pale and emaciated face and made up his mind.

…

“Miss, the young master started to vomit.”

Little Wenmo had been taking the medicine for three days, and it was time to react.

Su Muge put down the medical book in her hand and went to Zhao’s room. Little Wenmo was twitching back and forth in Zhao’s arms, which looked so distressing.

“Show me the young master’s vomit.”

“Yes.”

Meihua brought up a copper basin.

Little Wenmo was still feeding on milk and water, so there would be nothing else in his stomach.

Su Muge took up the copper basin with a sour smell under the window for careful observation. After a while, she found some tiny blood-tinged things in his fine and white vomit.

At first, she thought it was blood; but after careful observation, she found the blood-tinged things were moving! They were living creatures!

“Yueru, bring me my tweezers and porcelain plate.”

Seeing Su Muge’s serious look, Yueru dared not delay and hurried to get it. “Yes.”

Su Muge tried to pick the blood-tinged things out with tweezers and finally found dozens of living creatures inside!

Thinking of these things staying in little Wenmo’s body, Su Muge went outraged instantly!
