The Peach Blossom Luck of Rebirth

Chapter 454 The dilemma of loyalty and filial piety

"Master! Today I invited many palace physicians, even the imperial physician ordered Hu Yong to come and treat him personally, and they all said that there is no cure! The old lady's time has come! Master! You can express your condolences by the way!"

The old butler wiped away his tears and said sadly.

"Then call Dr. David Ball quickly! Please come here!" Zhang Lanqing thought of David Ball in a hurry.

"My lord! David Ball is from Marshal Li's mansion! How can we invite him? Unless the lord invites him in person!" the old housekeeper reminded.

"Okay! I'll invite you right away! My lord! You must wait for the child to come back!" After Zhang Lanqing finished speaking, she hurried out and told her servants to rush to Li Jun's residence.

Li Jun's vassal mansion, official minister He Zidi, household minister Wei Xianneng and other confidant ministers were present, and they were talking with Li Jun.

"Marshal Li! Today is the third day! It's already afternoon! Zhang Lanqing won't come!" said Wei Xianneng, Minister of the Household Department.

"That's right! When the court came down today, Zhang Lanqing said that his old mother was recovering soon! I thought, right now, he is spending time with his old mother?" said He Zidi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Li Jun shook his head dismissively at their conversation, and then only said to David Ball: "This time, it's up to you!"

David Ball said to Li Jun: "Marshal Li! Don't worry! He will come!"

Just when he finished speaking, suddenly, a servant came in from outside to report that Zhang Lanqing, Minister of Rites, had paid a visit to Marshal Li.

Li Jun was very proud, while the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, He Zidi, the Minister of the Ministry of Households, Wei Xianneng, and others gave Li Jun a thumbs up, and said, "Marshal Li! What a clever plan! The fortune is like a god!"

Li Jun pretended to be modest and said: "I, Li Jun, also rely on the help and support of the two adults! If there is no roster of the two adults! How can I grasp Zhang Lanqing's weaknesses and weaknesses so well!"

"Hahaha!" Wei Xianneng, He Zidi and other adults all laughed.

Soon, Zhang Lanqing came to Li Jun's mansion under the leadership of her slaves, and hurriedly treated Li Jun with respect and anxiously begging: "Marshal Li! Zhang has something to ask!"

"Master Zhang! Tell me what you want!" Li Jun said, seeing Zhang Lanqing's melancholy expression.

"My old mother's life is in critical condition! Zhang came to your house today, but he was really helpless! Would you like to ask Marshal Li to lend a helping hand and send Dr. David Ball to treat her! Zhang is willing to be a cow and a horse to repay his kindness!" Zhang Lanqing rescued Mother is eager.

"Master Zhang! That thing we mentioned last time! You won't forget it!" Li Jun asked tentatively.

"Marshal Li! Zhang has already thought about it! As long as he can cure my old mother's illness! I promise you!" Before Zhang Lanqing came, he also struggled with his thoughts, but he was a dutiful son.

He thought of his father who died of illness when he was three years old, and that his mother was a widow, who worked hard to raise him so that he could study.

Life was extremely difficult, and his official career was not all smooth sailing. He took the imperial examination eight times before he became a Jinshi.

After that, he went from a Jinshi to a bachelor of the Imperial Academy, and finally became the current Minister of Rites.

Although I am serving the emperor's kindness, in fact, in Zhang Lanqing's heart, her mother is the greatest. Without her mother, Zhang Lanqing would not be where she is today.

Since then, loyalty and filial piety are in a dilemma!After repeated weighing, Zhang Lanqing finally chose the word filial piety first.

"Okay! Master Zhang is indeed a cheerful person!" Li Jun smiled with satisfaction.
