C16 Idiot the Third Young Master Xie Was Wronged!

Disgusting!

Sure, she’s a doctor, but her job is diagnosing, prescribing, and treating illnesses. Even if there’s a need to clear someone’s throat, there are machines for that, and if not, there are nurses. This kind of dirty work shouldn’t fall to her.

Even in the early years when she wasn’t well-known, she never did this kind of work. But now...

Glancing at the expectant faces of Xiao Jing'an and Yuen Yunhua, Chu Jiuge sighed silently.

She had to endure it!

“Remember, your family owes me a favor.” Not only did they need to help her with today’s situation, but they also owed her one more favor, or she’d feel cheated.

Seeing Chu Jiuge’s determined expression, the man believed she might actually save their young master, but he also felt a bit sorry for him. So many noble young women fought fiercely for his attention, yet here was Miss Chu, looking disgusted at the prospect of getting close to him.

“Pretending,” Yuen Yunhua muttered. Unlike the Xie family, who saw Chu Jiuge as their last hope, she believed Chu Jiuge was a fraud. But...

The Xie family wouldn’t listen to her.

Chu Jiuge wasn’t listening either. Saving a life was urgent, and since she agreed to help, she wouldn’t hesitate. She placed Xie Xuan on the carriage, secured it, and leaned down...

No, she aimed for Xie Xuan’s mouth and took a deep breath.

In front of everyone, a young woman leaned in to a man’s mouth. Even a girl from a less reputable place would feel awkward, but...

Chu Jiuge was calm. As calm as if her lips weren’t touching the famous Xie Sanlang of East Forest, as if she wasn’t touching a living person, but rather an inanimate object.

The Xie family servants felt relieved yet slightly indignant.

Miss Chu, what kind of look is that? Is she unimpressed with our young master?

Chu Jiuge was unaware of the conflicting thoughts among the Xie family's servants. She took a deep breath, then leaned in and began to perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on Xie Xuan. She repeated this process six or seven times. Just as Yuen Yunhua was about to accuse her of deceiving the Xie family, Chu Jiuge smiled and spat something onto the ground. "Got it out," she announced.

A round, saliva-covered pill landed on the floor.

"Was his throat really blocked by a pill?" Initially, the Xie family members had only hoped for a miracle, but now they were convinced.

"Water, water, water! Get me some water!" With the pill removed, Xie Xuan was no longer in immediate danger. Chu Jiuge wasn't in a rush to help further. She accepted the water offered by a servant, rinsed her mouth thoroughly, and finally seemed satisfied.

The Xie family servants looked skyward in silence.

Does she really disdain our young master that much?

Miss Chu, you're lucky you're heading to the northern county tomorrow. Otherwise, if those noble ladies who admire our young master found out you looked down on him, you'd be in big trouble...

"This can't be! Chu Jiuge, you... you just got lucky. No, you must have hidden a pill in your mouth beforehand, right?" Yuen Yunhua was dumbfounded, unable to believe what she had witnessed.

Chu Jiuge finished rinsing her mouth, glanced at Yuen Yunhua with a look that seemed to say "idiot," and turned back to continue administering first aid to Xie Xuan.
