"Aunt Luo." Uncle Zhong quickly bowed to Luo Xinyue.
Luo Xinyue, who originally had a beautiful smile on her face, felt her heart sank when she heard the words "Aunt Luo".
She didn't like being called aunt at all.
"Uncle Zhong, where are we going so early in the morning?" Luo Xinyue took a deep breath, put on a gentle smile, and asked.
"Madam Luo, I am going to the De Medical Clinic to ask for a doctor for my cousin." Uncle Zhong said kindly.
Uncle Zhong naturally saw the embarrassment on Luo Xinyue’s face just now, but so what?
He was just a servant, and since his master didn't say anything, he pretended not to see anything.
"Why does Uncle Zhong need to make a personal trip for such a small matter?" Luo Xinyue was really puzzled by this question. After all, she was not a girl born and raised in Beijing, but came to Beijing a few days ago in order to get married.
All we know about the Xuanping Marquis Mansion is that it is a noble family with the title of Marquis.
However, when in Linzhou, Luo Xinyue also knew that when a master in the mansion fell ill, it would be the servants who went to ask for a doctor.
...
...
The butler should be a person of high status in the mansion, so why does he need to invite the doctor in person?
In the Marquis Xuanping’s Mansion, is there no servant to run errands?
Uncle Zhong smiled awkwardly when he heard this. He didn't know how to respond to this for a moment.
After all, he couldn't always criticize his masters.
"Aunt Luo, I will go and call the doctor first. The Marquis and the old lady are still waiting." After Uncle Zhong said this, he quickly left without caring what Luo Xinyue thought.
"Miss, are we still going to listen to Song Ju paying respects to the old lady?" Xiao Fang, the little maid at the side, asked carefully.
"Let's go to Qimengxuan. Our cousin is sick. Must we go visit her?" Luo Xinyue sneered.
"Miss, do we need to go to Madam and Madam Jiang's courtyard to pay our respects?" Xiaofang thought that there were still two masters in the mansion, so she asked.
"Let's go back later. We went to the old lady's courtyard first, and found that the old lady went to my cousin's courtyard." Luo Xinyue found a good excuse for herself and said.
When Luo Xinyue and her maid Xiaofang walked to Qimengxuan, they could hear Tang Wan'er's weak sobbing and old Tang's comforting voice coming from inside the house from afar.
"Aunt...Is Wan'er...Is she about to die..." Tang Wan'er said breathlessly, with just the right amount of trembling in her voice.
"Nonsense! It's just a minor cold and fever, how can it kill someone? Don't worry, the doctor will be here soon." Old Mrs. Tang held her hand with concern and comforted her.
Luo Xinyue stood outside the door with a sneer on her lips. This old lady really loved her niece.
However, Luo Xinyue quickly put on a worried expression and said softly, "Greetings to the old lady and the marquis. Is Miss Cousin feeling better today?"
The room suddenly became quiet.
Gu Huaizhi frowned and looked at Luo Xinyue at the door, and asked, "Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to sleep a little longer?"
Luo Xinyue bowed obediently, her eyes slightly red as she said, "I wanted to go and pay my respects to my mother-in-law, but when I heard that my cousin was ill, I was really worried about my cousin, so I came to see if she was feeling better. She was fine yesterday, how come she got sick?"
After Luo Xinyue finished speaking, she looked at the naked Tang Wan'er with a worried look on her face.
Upon hearing this, Tang Wan'er could only nervously hold Old Mrs. Tang's hand.
Seeing her niece so afraid of the newcomer Luo, Mrs. Tang snorted coldly and said, "Pretending!"
"Mom!" Gu Huaizhi called out to Old Mrs. Tang in a low voice with some dissatisfaction. He felt that Luo Xinyue came to visit her cousin with good intentions, so why was she pretending?
Luo Xinyue seemed not to have heard what Old Mrs. Tang said. She walked straight to the bed and saw Tang Wan'er's red face. She exclaimed, "Oh, the fever is so severe, why don't you use a cold towel to apply it?"
As he said this, he was about to touch Tang Wan'er's forehead.
"Don't touch me!" Tang Wan'er dodged suddenly and started coughing violently.
"What are you doing!" Old Mrs. Tang pushed Luo Xinyue away, "Are you trying to upset Wan'er on purpose?"
Luo Xinyue was pushed back by Old Mrs. Tang and staggered a step, but was supported by Gu Huaizhi in time.
With tears in her eyes, she said aggrievedly: "My husband, I just... just want to care about my cousin..."
Gu Huaizhi looked at Luo Xinyue, who was about to cry in his arms, and then at the frail Tang Wan'er, and was in a dilemma.
At this time, Uncle Zhong and Doctor Zhu hurried over.
"The doctor is here." Uncle Zhong was unaware of the tense atmosphere in the room, and quickly pulled Doctor Zhu in.
"Why don't you check on Wan'er quickly?" Old Mrs. Tang quickly made way and urged Doctor Zhu to check on Tang Wan'er.
Since Doctor Zhu had arrived, he didn't say much and hurried forward to check Tang Wan'er's pulse. However, Doctor Zhu's brows were getting tighter and tighter.
Tang Wan'er was also a little flustered, not understanding why the doctor who came was not the one she had found earlier, Doctor Wu.
After checking the pulse, Doctor Zhu frowned and said, "This lady just had a miscarriage and is already weak. Now she has been soaking in cold water and caught a cold. This disease is very severe. Now the lady needs to be treated with acupuncture to reduce the fever immediately and take three doses of medicine to alleviate the symptoms. However, you have to be careful afterwards."
Doctor Zhu said mercilessly.
Mrs. Tang only heard Doctor Zhu say that acupuncture was needed to reduce the fever, so she hurriedly said, "Quick, give Wan'er acupuncture!"
Doctor Zhu stood still, looked at Gu Huaizhi beside him and said, "My Lord, I will give you ten taels of silver. The medicine will be charged separately."
Gu Huaizhi's face was very ugly. Thinking about the ten taels of silver he had just given out, he said angrily: "Didn't Uncle Zhong already..."
Uncle Zhong whispered, "My Lord, after I paid off the debt, the eight taels of silver I gave you was a deposit..."
Luo Xinyue quickly stood beside Gu Huaizhi, took out a purse from her sleeve and handed it to Gu Huaizhi, saying obediently: "My Lord, I have twenty taels of silver here. It's important to treat my cousin first."
Gu Huaizhi was moved and held Luo Xinyue's hand, saying gently: "Xinyue..."
Tang Wan'er looked at the two people who were performing tender and sweet acts in front of her. She was so angry that she was shaking all over. Suddenly, she let out a "wow" and spat out a large mouthful of blood.
"Wan'er!" Old Mrs. Tang was so frightened when she saw Tang Wan'er vomiting blood that she screamed loudly.
Doctor Zhu rushed forward to give the patient acupuncture, and the room was in chaos.
Luo Xinyue stood in the corner, watching the farce, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
What Luo Xinyue didn't expect was that Tang Wan'er had just suffered a miscarriage.
Judging from the expressions of Old Tang and Gu Huaizhi, this child is probably Gu Huaizhi's.
Thinking of this, Luo Xinyue's brows frowned slightly again.
Thinking of Tang Wan'er's hostility towards me, all this seemed to make sense.
However, considering how much the old lady cared about Tang Wan'er, why didn't she let her in since she was pregnant with the Marquis's child?
Could it be that the old lady and the others have other ideas?
