Chapter 246: Drug Residue
Mrs. Qian didn't think much about it when she heard this, and asked, "Why are you so anxious all of a sudden?"
Zhang Yunniang looked serious and advised: "No matter how serious your health is, it's better to check your pulse as soon as possible."
Seeing her like this, Mrs. Qian immediately called another personal maid to ask for a doctor.
But as the doctor just walked to the door, he ran into Liu Ruyi.
Liu Ruyi, who was boiling medicine, ran to Madam Qian upon hearing the news. As soon as she entered the room, she complained, "Cousin, why are you stopping the medicine for the wet nurses out of the blue? Did you hear something from someone?"
Madam Qian said, "It was only after listening to Madam Gu that I realized that the medicine the nurse took would flow into the baby's mouth through the breast milk."
When Liu Ruyi heard this, she said, "It won't hurt for the child to take the tonic."
Mrs. Qian frowned slightly and asked, "Do you know that children can take medicine through breast milk?"
Liu Ruyi didn't think much about it and said, "The child is weak, so this method is just right to nourish her. I'm doing this for her own good."
Mrs. Qian was full of doubt and uncertainty at this time: "But the doctor also said before that such a young child can only be taken care of and not given random medicines."
Liu Ruyi's eyes flickered, and he said, "The doctor said this because he probably felt that his medical skills were not good enough and was afraid of something going wrong, so he didn't dare to prescribe the medicine."
When Mrs. Qian heard this, she couldn't help but lower her head, wondering what she was thinking.
Liu Ruyi didn't know that she had aroused Mrs. Qian's vigilance, but continued to persuade her: "Cousin, once you stop taking the medicine, all the time you have been taking it will be in vain. Don't stop taking the medicine randomly."
Liu Ruyi also noticed that the tonic soup for Madam Qian had not been touched, so he urged, "Cousin, why don't you take the medicine? Good medicine tastes bitter, you must not ruin your body just because you can't bear the bitterness."
The more anxious she was, the weirder Mrs. Qian felt.
"Put it aside for now. I'll drink it later." Mrs. Qian said casually.
Liu Ruyi couldn't pour the medicine directly into his cousin's wife's mouth, so he could only repeat the old words: "Such a young child is not easy to nourish, and can only be supplemented with the nurse's milk. Cousin, you know me, I just hope that you and the child are well, and I won't harm you. Don't be soft-hearted and believe what others say."
When Liu Ruyi said this, his eyes kept glancing at Zhang Yuniang, and he almost said directly that Zhang Yuniang was talking nonsense to make money.
Zhang Yunniang had never suspected Liu Ruyi before, but after Niuniu sent out the signal, she looked at Liu Ruyi again and felt that something seemed to be wrong with this girl.
Liu Ruyi did not go out, but stayed at home, but she had makeup on her face, her hair was carefully done, and even the color matching of her clothes was very careful.
As Liu Ruyi spoke, his eyes moved around, and he was secretly looking at the furnishings in Madam Qian's room, occasionally revealing a covetous look.
"Girl, what are you talking about? Am I the kind of person who believes everything I hear? Don't worry, I know everything." Mrs. Qian glanced at Zhang Yuniang while saying this, fearing that she would upset Zhang Yuniang.
Zhang Yunniang smiled generously, indicating that she didn't mind, and even added fuel to the dispute.
"Miss Liu, if you don't trust ordinary doctors, you can also ask Lord Qian to find a way to invite the imperial physician to come home to check your cousin's pulse."
When Liu Ruyi heard this, a hint of anxiety flashed in his eyes, and he said, "My cousin is very busy with official duties, how can we disturb him with such a small matter?"
When Mrs. Qian heard this, the smile on her face faded immediately, and she looked at Liu Ruyi with inquiring eyes.
She thought Liu Ruyi liked her cousin-in-law very much, but the meaning reflected in the words that came out of her mouth was intriguing: Liu Ruyi seemed to care about her husband more than she, the wife, did.
Mrs. Qian was rather slow in other matters, but when it came to her husband, she immediately perked up.
"I haven't even asked your cousin yet, why are you so anxious?" Mrs. Qian asked deliberately.
A trace of guilt flashed across Liu Ruyi's face, but she quickly said, "I had dinner at my aunt's house yesterday and heard my cousin complain. I know that he has been busy with official duties recently and it is difficult for him to get away."
When Mrs. Qian heard this, she suddenly realized something.
Since she became pregnant, she has been spending less time with her husband and is not as sensitive as she was before she became pregnant. Now that she thinks about it, Liu Ruyi accompanies the old lady for meals, while her husband goes to pay his respects to the old lady every day.
These two people meet almost every day. If you calculate it, it can be said that the husband sees Liu Ruyi more often than she does!
She thought again that Liu Ruyi didn't seem to be as anxious to find a husband this year as before. Was it because she had already found one?
Madam Qian forced herself to suppress the surging thoughts in her mind. She was wary of Liu Ruyi at this moment. She also saw that this girl seemed to be fixed on the chair, and she looked like she had no intention of leaving at all, which delayed her conversation with Zhang Yunniang and the others.
Mrs. Qian thought for a moment and said to Liu Ruyi, "I still remember the shredded chicken and ham soup you made. I'm craving it now and I'm thinking about it a lot, but that dish takes a lot of time to make, so I can't tell you directly."
Mrs. Qian's words were so clear that Liu Ruyi could only force a smile and said, "My cousin's wife is too polite to me. If you want to eat, just tell me directly."
Madam Qian used words to provoke her again, deliberately saying to Zhang Yunniang and Li: "Look at this girl, she is so nice to me. As soon as I said I wanted to eat, she wanted to go to the kitchen to cook for me right away, for fear that I would not be able to eat."
A hint of darkness flashed across Liu Ruyi's eyes, but she still stood up and said, "Cousin, I'll go to the kitchen now."
After Liu Ruyi left, Madam Qian immediately ordered the maid, "Go and get the dregs of the medicine for me and my nurse."
Liu Ruyi had been in a hurry to come here and had no time to clean up the medicine residue, so the maid took it away easily.
Not long after, the doctor who had been invited earlier arrived.
"Madam spoke in a hurry, and I only had time to invite Doctor Zhang over." The personal maid explained.
The last time Mrs. Qian was treated, it was also Dr. Zhang, and they were very familiar with each other.
As Doctor Zhang felt his pulse, his brows furrowed more and more.
The people in the room also became worried.
"Doctor, is there something wrong with our lady?" the personal maid asked anxiously.
Doctor Zhang shook his head and started asking about Mrs. Qian's diet and daily life.
"Strange. From what Madam said, she didn't eat anything she shouldn't have. Could it be that she worked too hard during the confinement period? That's why she is suffering from a severe loss of energy and blood now."
When Mrs. Qian heard this, her face turned pale.
"Am I showing any signs of hemorrhage?" Mrs. Qian was very afraid that she would be like the woman in Zhang Yuniang's story.
The doctor looked embarrassed and said, "If Madam continues to lose money, it will be hard to say."
Mrs. Qian's body was staggering.
Zhang Yunniang took the medicine that she hadn't finished drinking and asked the doctor, "Can you take a look at this tonic medicine? Is there anything wrong with it?"
When the doctor picked up the bowl of medicine and saw the residue, his face suddenly changed.
