Chapter 285 Paralyzed

Chapter 285 Paralyzed

Seeing that Su Youyue didn't say anything and walked forward, Jin'er had no choice but to follow with a slight pout.

Miss, don't be so kind. You're actually taking Doctor Ji to treat that old hag.

What virtue does that old hag have!

Before long, Su Youyue had already brought Doctor Ji to Lu Song and the Old Madam of the Lu family.

The Old Madam's mouth was twisted at an odd angle, her two old eyes were one big and one small, and both eyeballs were skewed to one side, seemingly unable to turn back. Her entire face was extremely distorted, looking bizarre.

Her chest heaved violently, still showing signs of anger, but the outstretched finger could only tremble weakly.

As Lu Song called out "Mother," a pair of embroidered shoes with golden threads suddenly appeared in his sight.

He knew these shoes were clearly worn by a noble lady, indicating considerable wealth. So, he instinctively looked up.

However, he never expected to see Su Youyue.

The young lady stood there, graceful and elegant, like a bright and ethereal lotus in summer. Such beauty was rare to find, stunning anyone who saw her.

He stood there for a long time, still in disbelief.

If Su Youyue wasn't a disaster star or disabled, then choosing that lowly prostitute over her was sheer madness!

Lu Cheng and Lu Wen beside him couldn't believe their eyes either, finding it hard to believe that the woman walking towards them was actually Su Youyue.

Even the Old Madam on the ground twitched her lips more violently, trying to look at Su Youyue with her skewed eyes.

"You..." Lu Cheng's jaw nearly dropped. "Your legs... how did they get better?"

Su Youyue smirked. "Who said my legs couldn't get better?"

Lu Cheng was speechless, while Lu Song's expression changed repeatedly. Suddenly, he let go of the Old Madam, stood up, and said excitedly, "That's great, Nuan'nuan. Your legs are finally better. I always hoped you would stand up soon..."

Just as he was about to approach, Su Youyue touched the whip at her waist, forcing him to stop.

"Nuan'nuan, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Must you do this?"

Su Youyue found it ironic. If she could go back, she would gouge out her own eyes to avoid ever seeing a man like Lu Song.

"Lu Song, I came here just to check on the Old Madam. If you dare call me again, I won't mind practicing with my whip."

Lu Song hesitated, then said happily, "My mother... My mother is indeed unwell. Nuan'nuan, it's rare that you still care about my mother..."

"I am indeed concerned about her. I came to see if she's dead. Tsk, she's not dead yet, what a disappointment." Su Youyue sneered.

Hearing this, Jin'er finally understood her mistress's intentions and burst into laughter.

The Old Madam on the ground seemed very agitated, mumbling something angrily, but even her tongue wouldn't move.

Still stunned, Lu Song watched as Su Youyue turned to Ji Qingyan. "Doctor Ji, I think this person has suffered a stroke leading to paralysis. Am I right?"

Ji Qingyan nodded approvingly with a look of satisfaction. "Very good. It seems you've learned well."

Though she didn't know this family, seeing Su Youyue's attitude, she knew they weren't good people. So, she naturally cooperated.

"From the looks of it, this is the most severe case of stroke. Tsk, tsk, tsk, she might be beyond saving." Ji Qingyan stroked her chin. In truth, if she intervened, there might still be hope.

However, she certainly wouldn't intervene. Without her help, given the current medical level, this person would likely spend the rest of her life bedridden.

Su Youyue, who had been learning medicine from Doctor Ji recently, understood what this condition meant.

For the rest of her life, the Old Madam would be paralyzed.

Of course, if she was lucky, she might pass away sooner.

This time, Su Youyue felt an unusual sense of relief, even more than if the Old Madam had died directly.

She had cursed her as disabled for two lifetimes. Now, it was time for her to taste the bitter fruits of her karma!

However, everything was far from over.

Su Youyue's gaze shifted to Lu Song, Lu Cheng, and Lu Wen.

The first two hadn't noticed her gaze, but Lu Wen had, and he shivered involuntarily.

Su Youyue was going to take revenge!

She was going to avenge the murder from her previous life!

Lu Wen felt a chill run down his spine, but Su Youyue merely glanced at him indifferently before turning and leaving with her entourage.

Watching her figure grow distant, Lu Song felt his last chance to regain his future and wealth slipping away. He had even forgotten about the Old Madam's condition. Staring at Su Youyue's back, he was lost in thought, repeating one idea.

If only he hadn't broken off the engagement...

He regretted it.

Why did he give up such wealth and beauty for a lowly prostitute?

The regret surged within Lu Song, making his insides ache. His vision darkened, wishing he could faint and escape the upcoming burden of caring for his bedridden mother and the hardships of supporting the family.

The Su family's carriage started moving again, but Jin'er's chatter continued.

"Who would have thought that concubine would cheat behind the Lu family's back! Hahaha, serves them right!"

Su Youyue smiled, listening quietly. Though her expression remained calm, only she knew that she was feeling incredibly joyful, waves of happiness rising and falling within her.

But at that moment, Ji Qingyan suddenly turned his head and asked, "Miss Su, do you think that if that woman is caught, according to your rules here, she should really be drowned in the pond?"

Su Youyue was slightly taken aback, then shook her head. "Those are the rules from the previous dynasty. In our current times, the social mores are more open; we wouldn't drown a woman for having an affair... but she wouldn't go unpunished either."

Ji Qingyan pursed his lips, seeming rather unhappy, but he didn't say anything more.

Su Youyue, now believing that the other person was likely her mother, took extra care of her feelings and pressed on, "Doctor Ji, do you have any thoughts on this?"

"If anyone should be drowned, it should be both the woman and the man she's having an affair with. Drowning just the woman shows no skill at all! Everyone is at fault, yet only the woman gets cursed, while the man hides away beautifully!" Ji Qingyan couldn't help but clench his fists in anger.

Jin'er had never heard such words before and stared at Doctor Ji with her mouth agape.

Chunya slightly furrowed her brows.

"I'm not supporting women having affairs, but I despise their double standards. A woman cheating should be killed to make it right, while a man cheating is just making a common mistake—all men make. What a ridiculous joke!" Ji Qingyan's eyes filled with intense disgust and hatred.
