Chapter 26 Someone Wants to Harm Madam
"Although doctors shouldn't believe in supernatural things, my master once studied this for a while, so I've learned a little bit from him. Whether it's accurate or not is just my casual talk. Master Chen should decide for himself whether to believe in such things or not."
Mr. Chen thought there was something wrong with the feng shui of his home and nodded doubtfully.
Lu Wanning asked, "May I ask how many children does Mr. Chen have?"
Mr. Chen: "One son has not yet married, and two of my three daughters are still waiting to be married."
"That's strange," Lu Wanning pinched her fingertips mysteriously, "From my observation of Master's face, he should have at least three sons and four daughters."
As soon as she said this, she saw Mr. Chen's expression change.
The third wife beside him covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Three sons and four daughters? Could it be that the one in Liuyuan's belly was..."
This guy is really good at fanning the flames, so Lu Wanning doesn't even need to say anything.
So she excused herself at the right moment, "I think it might be because I'm not very skilled, but there's something eerie about Madam's room, as if something is stuck there and won't leave. Master, why don't you go to the temple and ask a feng shui expert to take a look? After all, Madam's illness probably won't be cured by just taking medicine."
After saying that, she didn't stay here for long. She winked at Qi Muchao and said, "Let's go."
He didn't pay any attention to the fact that Mr. Chen behind him suddenly changed his expression and fell into deep thought with a pale face.
On the way out of Mrs. Chen's yard, the two met Chen Wenjian who had hurried back.
But she didn't look away, and passed by Chen Wenjian without even looking at him.
Instead, Chen Wenjian turned around and took a closer look at her and Qi Muchao's backs, then turned to ask the servant beside him, "Is this the disciple of Dr. Luo Shen?"
"Yes, they said they came from Huichuntang."
When Chen Wenjian arrived at the gate of his mother's yard, he heard the crackling sound of teacups breaking from inside.
He took a few quick steps forward and met his father's red eyes and the third wife who was hurrying out as if she had heard some secret she shouldn't have heard.
Mr. Chen usually treats people kindly and seems to have no temper, but when he gets angry, he looks so angry that people can feel uneasy.
The servants all kept silent and lowered their heads, not daring to look up. Chen Wenjian's heart sank and his eyes fell on his mother.
Mrs. Chen had been shouting for ghosts all night and had just fallen asleep because she was so sleepy that Lu Wanning came to feel her pulse but failed to wake her up. Instead, she was pinched awake by Mr. Chen.
The one in Liuyuan was hanged to death, so when Master Chen was strangling her neck, she thought that the man was coming to take her life.
No one believed her when she told them what happened last night.
Mrs. Chen woke up at three o'clock in the morning because of thirst. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a shadow in white clothes standing in front of her bed, with loose hair, staring at her.
Mrs. Chen saw the man's face clearly in a daze and was almost frightened to death.
She screamed and called for help, "Mother Gui, Qiu He", but her throat seemed to be blocked by something and no sound came out.
It was not until the shadow left that she was able to scream as if she had just woken up from a dream.
For now, she just thought that the shadow from last night had appeared again.
She closed her eyes and screamed, scratching at Mr. Chen with her hands, until Mr. Chen's face was covered in blood.
This frightened Mrs. Chen, who had just opened her eyes. She rolled her eyes and fainted again.
But in the eyes of Mr. Chen, this meant that she had something to hide, which was why she was so scared.
He wished he could just go up and strangle this vicious woman to death.
Fortunately, Chen Wenjian appeared in time. He grabbed his father's wrist, frowning, "What's going on?"
Seeing him, Master Chen's anger finally dissipated a little. He didn't want his son, who had always been noble and aloof, to be involved in these dirty things, so he waved his hand and said with a heavy breath, "Don't worry about it."
"I don't have to care?" Chen Wenjian took a deep breath and pressed his throbbing forehead. "Do you think I have to wait until you strangle my mother to death before I come over to ask what happened?"
Mr. Chen was in no mood to answer him now. He just waved his hand and walked out.
Aunt An, who had just received the news at the door, happened to catch him and said, "Master, what's wrong? You look so pale. Did the doctor leave just now? Quick, go and get the doctor back."
"No need," Master Chen held her arm and said in a trembling voice, "Just rest for a while."
Aunt An helped him back to her own yard, washed his face and applied medicine.
Watching Master Chen fall asleep, Aunt An was still a little uneasy.
She paced in the yard, her mind full of what Lu Wanning said when she was lying in bed with her the night before.
"Mrs. Chen will be seriously ill in two days. Auntie, don't worry about it then. Just appease the master and don't worry about anything else."
At that time, she did not understand what these words meant, but Mrs. Chen suddenly went crazy last night, which made Aunt An a little uneasy.
Could it be that the lady’s madness was caused by that girl Wan Ning?
After she left, Chen Wenjian obviously became suspicious of the two so-called miracle doctor disciples.
He called Mrs. Gui over from Mrs. Chen's side and asked, "What's going on?"
Most of what Madam Chen did back then was done by Madam Gui, so she knew everything that happened. However, she didn't believe in ghosts and gods, and she just thought someone was playing tricks on her. So, she wiped her tears and said to Chen Wenjian, "Someone is trying to harm Madam."
"I've never heard of these doctors who treat patients also telling fortunes. How can such weird things be true? Our Madam has worked hard for the Chen family all her life. It doesn't make sense for her to be thrown a basin of dirty water on her now."
Seeing Mother Gui in tears, Chen Wenjian turned his head and looked at his mother lying on the bed.
In a serious tone, he said, "Repeat to me what the doctor just said. Don't make a single mistake."
…
In a blink of an eye, it was the day to return home. Lu Wanning got up early in the morning, washed and dressed beautifully, and went back to Chen's house to watch the fun.
Qi Muchao leaned on the bed and watched her put on makeup.
Her dressing table was filled with all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry sent by Princess Qi, and she had endless hairpins.
In her left hand, she held a butterfly tassel inlaid with pearls, and in her right hand, she held a peony flower inlaid with gemstones. She compared them on her head and asked Qi Muchao, "Which one is better looking?"
Qi Muchao looked at it for a moment and hissed softly, "Anything is fine."
"Perfunctory." Lu Wanning rolled her eyes at him, looked at herself in the mirror, and tucked the butterfly tassel hairpin into her hair.
I heard that Mr. Chen had invited many magicians to his house to look at the feng shui in the past two days, and Chen Wenjian went to Huichun Hall for two consecutive days to meet her.
Lu Wanning naturally wouldn't meet him so easily.
After all, the mother and son have not yet reached their most embarrassing moment.
After packing up, the two returned to Chen's house.
No matter how chaotic the Chen family was in the past two days, they never dared to neglect Qi Muchao.
So early in the morning, Mr. Chen brought people to wait for them at the door.
