After Mother Remarried, I Laid Down Three Ground Rules With My Stepfather

Reborn into this life before the age of two, my Father vanished on his way to the provincial exam in the capital—alive, he was never found; dead, his body never returned. That very month, Grandfa...

229 Qi Jiaojiao is gone

229 Qi Jiaojiao is gone

At noon the next day, Sun Sicheng took He Jin and Ruyi to Qi's house.

Ming Wanli took people to the city to buy things they would need on the way. Erqiang and the others wanted to go for a walk together, and Ping'an agreed. He also gave each of them one or two taels of silver, on the condition that they must stay together, not get separated, and not cause trouble.

Even Xiao Wu brought Lin Feng with him. Huainan Prefecture was quite prosperous and everything could be bought in the city. It was necessary to prepare some practical things that did not take up much space, such as underwear, socks and shoes.

Ping'an did his homework honestly in the inn, and the teacher gave him a lot of assignments.

He also didn't expect Qi Jiaojiao to end up like this. Last night, the master talked to him about the child Chen Sheng, and sighed that his fate was also unfortunate. Fortunately, he insisted on returning to the Chen family at a young age, otherwise who knows what the outcome would be.

He just couldn't understand. Qi Jiaojiao was stupid, and the Qi family father and son looked smart. How could they let her ruin the child's future? Wasn't the child half Qi's blood?

When Sun Sicheng arrived at the Qi family, Mrs. Qi Wei came to greet him.

"Cousin, was my uncle okay last night? How about my cousin?"

Madam Qi Wei said, "My dear cousin, my father-in-law was much better last night. He was worried that if something happened to my sister, it would upset my father-in-law again, so my husband sent my sister to her own house in East Street early in the morning, and Sheng'er followed her."

really.

"I'll give my cousin acupuncture. You go do your own thing. Don't forget your cousin's medicine."

"No, I've already drunk it this morning." Her husband should be back soon, and she asked him to ask Sun Sicheng to go over there to check on Qi Jiaojiao, but she didn't bring up the subject.

Sun Sicheng took Ruyi in to give acupuncture to Qishan, while He Jin stood guard outside.

A quarter of an hour later, Qi Wei came over and saw that his father was covered with silver needles, and Sun Sicheng's forehead was covered with sweat, and his servant was wiping it for him.

He stood quietly aside without saying a word.

Another quarter of an hour.

Sun Sicheng took the needle and Ruyi hurriedly took it out for disinfection.

"My cousin should wake up in two quarters of an hour. I will come over to give him acupuncture tomorrow. From now on, Siyuan will be the only one who can treat him."

Qi Wei was anxious: "Sicheng, you have to stay for a few more days, at least ten days is fine. Cousin, please, you are more confident in preventing stroke than Siyuan."

"Cousin, it is precisely because he is my relative that I came to treat him. This time I am in a hurry to go to Yunzhou and I have to rush to the northern border. I have military orders on me. It is not good to be too late. Siyuan does not know about this. I will try to stay for one more day. No more."

"Cousin, are you going to the battlefield too? We have doctors going there too, but they leave in mid-June. You don't have to go at all."

Sun Sicheng smiled bitterly: "The general has sent a letter, how can I not go? I left early because I have important things to do in Yunzhou and I can't delay any longer. Don't worry, I will control your father's illness before I leave, and the rest of Siyuan can be treated completely.

But he must not be stimulated by other things next, otherwise no matter how famous the doctor is, he won’t be able to cure him.”

Sun Sicheng walked out, and Qi Wei followed him: "I sent my sister away mainly because of this, but sooner or later it will be revealed. Once you leave, I don't know when you will come back."

"I don't know, maybe at least half a year."

"Sicheng, can you show it to my sister again?"

Sun Sicheng nodded and said, "If you want her to live a few more days, use ginseng soup to keep her alive. She won't get better. Let's go over and take a look. I'll be at the inn these days. If you have any questions, come to me."

The two of them had been out for just over a quarter of an hour when the servant came over and called Madam Qi Wei.

"Madam, the master has woken up and wants to see the young master."

Madam Qi Wei was very annoyed: "I know, I'll go over right away, you go tell the young master."

Qi Shanxing was able to speak, but what he said sounded very strange to him. He knew something bad had happened and he was afraid that he was sick again.

"Dad, are you feeling better? I'm hungry though. I'll have someone feed you in a minute."

"Daughter-in-law, what's wrong with me? Am I sick again? Where's your sister? How is she?"

Qi Shanxing found that his tongue was uncomfortable when he spoke, and the more anxious he became, the worse his speech became.

"Dad, you are indeed sick, but my eldest cousin has come over. He has been giving you acupuncture for the past two days. Now he and his husband are going to see my sister."

My cousin is indeed a great doctor. In just two days, my father-in-law's illness has improved a lot and he speaks much more clearly.

Qi Shanxing breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Sun Sicheng was here, Jiaojiao would be saved.

"Dad, you lie down first. I'll have someone bring some food over. My husband will be here soon."

Sun Sicheng and Qi Wei rushed to Qi Jiaojiao's place, and Chen Sheng was wiping her hands with a hot towel.

"Uncle, cousin."

Sun Sicheng saw that the child looked much more haggard, and his eyes were still red and swollen, obviously he did not get enough rest last night.

"Chen Sheng, you can go to sleep now. How can people bear not sleeping all the time?"

"Uncle, is my mother really incurable?"

"Chen Sheng, I can't and don't want to hide it from you. She fell so hard that her skull is dented. I can't cure her."

"Uncle, she just had a seizure for a while. She was in a lot of pain. Woo woo." The boy started crying.

Sun Sicheng stepped forward to feel her pulse and said nothing for a long while: "Cousin, her pulse has been intermittent. If it weren't for the ginseng, she would have died."

The boy's crying became louder and louder, and it was heartbreaking to hear.

Qi Wei's eyes turned red: "Sicheng, is there nothing you can do?"

Sun Sicheng shook his head: "I am a doctor. If there is any way, would I not treat her? You have seen the people. Some doctors cannot save them. Just take good care of them. You can feed them medicine, but you don't have to feed them. I am afraid they will have trouble swallowing them."

"Cousin, acupuncture is useless and will only make her more miserable. I'm going back to the inn. Come back to me if you need anything."

Qi Wei nodded. His sister was waiting to die, and there was nothing he could do except to stay with her.

Soon, the servant came over and said, "Sir, the master just woke up and spoke more clearly. He was eating. He asked about the young lady's injury, and the young lady said that Master Sun was helping her with her injury."

Qi Wei was both sad and happy: "I understand. You go back first. If the master asks again, you can say that the eldest master is giving acupuncture to the young lady."

The servant left in a hurry.

Qi Wei didn't know what to do. Sun Sicheng was indeed very capable. His father had suffered such a serious stroke, but he cured the disease with just two days of acupuncture.

It’s a pity for my sister that she couldn’t find Sicheng right away. And because of that old woman, she didn’t help her stop the bleeding. She was so stupid and damned. So many people couldn’t even keep an eye on one person.

In the afternoon, Sun Siyuan came hurriedly.

"Brother, Qi Jiaojiao is gone." Sun Siyuan drank the water on the table in one gulp. "I heard that she just passed away without leaving a single word before she died."

Sun Sicheng said, "What's the point of leaving a message? What I'm most worried about now is his father. If he finds out, he'll be furious and there's no telling what the result will be."
