"She bullied General Shang so much. Although the general let her go, we just can't stand her face. This biased old lady can't let them have an easy life."
The people gathered in front of the inn to protest, which seriously affected the inn's business.
The guests staying in the inn were annoyed by the noise and came to check out one after another.
The innkeeper was really anxious now. He had seen the scene of Wanhetang being demolished that day, and he didn't want his inn to be demolished by angry people.
He hurriedly took his men up to the second floor and knocked on the door of Li's room.
Li had already heard the noise of the people outside in the room.
She couldn't care about those things at all now. She was anxiously watching the doctor treating Shang Wanning's injuries.
"Doctor, how is my son?"
“Minister Shang has multiple fractures. I have fixed them for him and taken care of his wounds.
You can send someone to go with me to get the medicine later."
“Bang, bang, bang~”
Li looked towards the door and ignored him. "Is there anything I should be aware of?"
"Don't move the fractured bone randomly after it's been fixed to avoid secondary injury. Change the dressing on external wounds every day and don't cover the wound, otherwise it will form pus."
"Okay, thank you, doctor." Li took out an ingot of silver and handed it to the doctor.
"Xiao Cui, go get the medicine from the doctor."
When the door opened, I saw the anxious face of the shopkeeper outside.
The doctor left without delay.
The shopkeeper said in embarrassment: "Madam Shang, you should move out quickly. If you don't leave, our inn will not be able to operate."
"Boss, what are you talking about? We paid to stay at your inn. What reason do you have to chase us away?"
The shopkeeper looked at Li coldly. "Madam Shang, you have angered the public. We cannot keep you in this small temple. I will refund all your accommodation fees. Please leave quickly and don't embarrass us."
"Why? We just won't leave."
The innkeeper was so angry at the noise from the people downstairs that he could no longer suppress his anger. "Madam Shang, don't blame me for being rude."
"How can you be so rude?"
The shopkeeper smiled coldly and waved his hand, and a group of strong men came up. "Come and help Madam Shang pack her luggage and send her out of the inn."
"You dare."
The strong men rushed to several guest rooms and packed up their things.
The innkeeper suddenly remembered: "And the maids in the woodshed were kicked out. This is the first time I've seen such a stingy person. He let the maids live in the woodshed and the servants live in the stables."
In a moment, including the unconscious Shang Wanning.
Li's family was driven out to the street, and the people started to scold them.
"You are not worthy of being General Shang's mother. General Shang is out there defending his country, and you guys are just enjoying the good life in the capital."
"Yes, General Shang was so filial. He resigned and returned to Beijing to take care of you because you were sick. But in the end, because you treated your servants harshly, General Shang's eldest son was poisoned, and then General Shang's family was almost killed."
"If General Shang and his family hadn't been lucky enough to find the antidote, they would have been killed by you."
"Tsk tsk tsk, I now suspect that she was the one who instructed Nanny Cong to poison General Shang's family. Otherwise, how could a Nanny get so much money to buy such expensive medicine?"
"Yes, I feel that way too."
If Shang Yuanshan and the others were here, they would definitely give a thumbs up, as these people actually discovered the truth.
Li roared. "My son is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. You are offending an official appointed by the imperial court. I can report you to the police and have you arrested."
The people did not confront her head-on. Since they had already vented their anger, the group quickly dispersed.
Li was so angry that he stamped his feet. "Go report to the authorities."
Shang Jinzhi came forward with the book. "Grandma, it's useless. The law doesn't punish everyone. Even if we report it to the authorities, they will just drive us away. Besides, the people have already left, so they won't care."
"That's too much."
"Pah~" a purse was thrown over.
The innkeeper said: "I've refunded your accommodation fee. Please leave now and don't delay my business."
Cheng went forward and picked up the purse. "Mother, where are we going?"
"Where else can this useless thing go? Let someone find an inn."
The servants nearby were afraid of being implicated in Li's anger, so they all ran out.
Half an hour later, Li was already impatient. "These idiots can't even find an inn."
The innkeeper leaned against the door of the inn with melon seeds in his hand. He said slowly: "Madam Shang, you still don't understand. No inn dares to let you stay. You should hurry back to the old house."
The shopkeeper looked up at the sky and continued, "I see it's going to rain soon. You guys are fine if you get wet, but Minister Shang probably won't be fine."
"You...you think everyone is like you and doesn't want to earn money."
"Puh~" the shopkeeper spat out the melon seed shells. "A dog biting Lu Dongbin doesn't know a good heart."
The innkeeper turned back. "Go sweep the door. There's a lot of dirt."
Li was so angry at the shopkeeper that she almost fell down. "Well, well, a tiger in trouble is bullied by a dog. When Wan Ning wakes up, I will make him bring people to close this inn."
"Move aside." The waiter swung the broom vigorously and the dust on the ground was swept up.
“Ahem…”
Li quickly ordered the people behind him to carry Shang Wanning away from the inn.
The waiter shouted, "Boss, all the dirt has been swept away."
"Okay, I'll give you one or two ounces of silver."
"Hey, thank you, shopkeeper."
"Hurry up and pack up and close the store. Today is the Ghost Festival."
"Okay, shopkeeper."
Shang Jinzhi, the young master who only cared about reading and didn't care about what was happening outside the window, couldn't help it anymore, and his fingers were clenched so hard that they made a crackling sound.
"Boom~" a flash of lightning streaked across the sky.
Cheng: "Mother, it's really going to rain."
"I'm not deaf. Why don't those idiots come back?"
Cheng was so angry that she trembled all over. "Mother, why don't we go back to the old house first? Otherwise, Wan Ning's wound will get infected this afternoon, and today is the Ghost Festival."
"Then let's go to the old house."
At this time, there were only two servants and several maids and nannies who had not yet gone to look for an inn. These people had to carry the large and small bags of things and carry Shang Wanning.
As for those servants who went out to look for inns, they were rejected by many inns, but they did not dare to go back for fear of being scolded.
It was not until thunder struck that they began to run back one after another.
Li: "You two still remember to come back. Hurry up and make sure Wan Ning doesn't fall. You two go find a carriage."
The servant was in a dilemma. "Madam, we just asked and found out that all their carriages have been rented out."
“Are they all rented out?”
"Yes."
"These people are so arrogant. When Wan Ning wakes up, I will definitely not let them have an easy time."
The group quickened their pace, but they had only walked half the distance when it started to rain.
Suddenly it started to rain heavily and the whole family was soaked.
"Wa wah wah~" the baby's crying spread.
Cheng looked at her daughter in her arms with heartache. Her daughter should not suffer this.
Cheng cried out of heartache.
Li was already upset, and when she heard Shang Wanyue crying, she became even more upset. "Cheng, you can't even take care of a useless child."
"Be careful, hold the umbrella firmly and don't let the rain get to Wanning."
In the family, only Shang Wanning had an umbrella to shelter from the rain.
"Mother, please hold an umbrella for Wanyue as well."
"Why are you fighting? Don't you see that those three umbrellas can barely reach Wanning?"
"But Wanyue..."
"When we get there, just make her some ginger soup."
Cheng felt distressed when she saw the crying child in her arms.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the wind was howling. The umbrella was blown away by the wind, and Shang Wanning was awakened by the heavy rain.
"Ahhh~~" Shang Wanning screamed heart-wrenchingly as he felt the pain in his body.
Li rushed forward, her tears already mixed with the heavy rain.
"Wan Ning, you are finally awake."
When Shang Wanning woke up, he found himself being carried by someone and being drenched by heavy rain. His mother had already been soaked like a drowned rat.
Cheng Lianlian, who was standing by, was holding her baby daughter with a loving look on her face.
On the other side, Shang Jinzhi was frantically protecting his books.
Shang Wanning's eyes went dark and he almost fainted.
“Wanning….”
Shang Wanning regained his senses after being called by Li. "Mother, why aren't we in the inn?"
"It's all because of that unfilial son Shang Yuanshan. We were kicked out by the innkeeper because of him."
After Shang Wanning heard Li's account of everything that happened today, he was filled with hatred.
Cheng said hurriedly, "There is a pavilion in front of Wanning to hide from the rain. Let's go in and hide for a while."
"Well, go to the pavilion in front and rest for a while."
The group finally reached the pavilion, but the strong wind could not prevent the heavy rain from being blown into the pavilion.
"Hurry up and find clean clothes for Wanyue to change." Cheng looked at Shang Wanyue whose lips were frozen purple, and she was about to go crazy.
The maid beside her picked up the bag that was wet from the rain. "Madam's bag is all wet."
"How could that be?"
"Pa~" Cheng Lianlian slapped the maid on the face.
"Useless stuff."
Cheng Lianlian hugged Shang Wanyue tightly.
"Mother asked someone to find a doctor. Wanyue is dying."
Li felt sorry for her granddaughter, but after being baptized by the rain, she knew that no one could help them now, but she could not give up on her granddaughter.
"You guys go find the doctor, and buy some clothes for the baby, and some clothes that Wan Ning can wear. Remember to wrap them in brown paper."
"yes."
Several servants ran out.
The whole family gathered together, wanting to help Shang Wanyue buy more time.
Shang Wanning, who was unable to stand up, had tears in his eyes. When had his family ever suffered such injustices?
"Shang Yuanshan, you have such a cruel heart."
Just when the family was feeling discouraged, several carriages stopped outside the pavilion.
"Oh~"
Cheng looked back at the carriage outside, she ran forward and knelt on the ground.
"Please help us, my daughter is freezing to death."
"Madam Shang, please stand up. My master has sent me to take you to the old house. Please get on the carriage quickly.
A doctor will come to your house to see the young lady in a little while."
Shang Wanning: "Who is your master?"
"Minister Shang will know later."
"Okay, thank you all for your help."
The family got into the warm carriage, and Shang Wanyue's condition improved a lot.
The carriage was moving very fast, and the family arrived at Shang Jia's old house smoothly. This was the house that Shang Qingyuan and Shang Guogong bought after they separated and broke off their relationship.
They became generals of cavalry in Shang Yuanshan, and only after they received a house rewarded by the emperor did their whole family move away from here. They have not returned here for many years.
Once no one lives in this house, it will become a dilapidated place.
The house was filled with a cold and damp atmosphere, and although servants had come to clean it up in the past few days, it was still shabby.
"Minister Shang, my master knows that you have just moved back and you don't have enough supplies. He has sent someone to deliver daily necessities, and they should arrive soon."
Cheng was very anxious. "Then, doctor, when will the doctor arrive?"
As soon as Cheng finished speaking, an old man rushed in from outside.
"Here I come."
When the doctor saw Shang Wanyue’s lips turned purple, he hurried forward to check.
"Hurry up, let me check the child."
Li: "Doctor, my son was also injured in the rain."
Shang Wanning stopped her and said, "Mother, I'm fine. Let the doctor see Wanyue first. Wanyue's condition is quite urgent."
"Okay, then doctor, please check on my granddaughter right away."
Only then did Cheng feel relieved.
"Doctor, how is my daughter?"
"Your daughter has caught a cold and has a fever. I'll prescribe some medicine for her first. It all depends on her fate."
Cheng knelt on the ground. "Doctor, please save my daughter."
“Don’t worry, ma’am, I will do my best to treat you.
Madam, you must stay with the young lady tonight. If she has a fever, use wine to cool her down in time, and feed her medicine every hour."
"Okay, thank you, doctor."
The old doctor hurried forward to check on Shang Wanning's condition, and he was even more frightened.
"Why don't you take shelter from the rain when it's raining so hard? Why are you standing outside getting soaked?"
"I..." Shang Wanning really wanted to curse. Do they like being rained on?
Would it be necessary if they had a place to shelter from the rain?
"Ahem, Doctor Wu, the master wants you to come and treat Minister Shang."
"Butler Wei, I've talked too much." After hearing what Minister Shang said, Doctor Wu already knew why this family didn't find a place to shelter from the rain.
He had heard about the merchant's story. He had heard from the common people how this family was kicked out of the inn like a stray dog.
I didn't expect this family to be so unlucky, but according to the distance between the inn and this house, they wouldn't get wet if they came here after being chased out.
But he just focused on treating the disease and didn't ask these useless questions.
“Minister Shang’s wound is at risk of infection, and the fracture needs to be rebandaged and medicated.
This must be a bit painful, Minister Shang, so you need to be patient."
"Okay." Shang Wanning agreed readily, but he didn't expect it to be so painful.
The maid helped to wipe the body, and Doctor Wang first cleaned the broken bone and then reapplied medicine to the wound.
Shang Wanning's screams could be heard in this room.
“Ahhhhhh~ It hurts~~~”
If Shang Yangyang were here, she would definitely think someone was slaughtering pigs again.
"General, a carriage just picked up Shang Wanning and the others and sent them to the old house."
Shang Yuanshan listened to his subordinates' reports.
"It looks like this person hasn't given up on them."
Shang Yuanshan looked at Shang Yanqing who was standing beside him. "Yanqing, what do you think?"
"Dad, you have already made a decision."
Shang Yuanshan laughed out loud. "Okay."
The heavy rain outside continued.
【Today's rain is particularly heavy. 】
[Eh, why do I feel something unusual?] Shang Yangyang frowned tightly.
[Yes, today is the Ghost Festival. I always feel like something is going to happen.]
After listening to Shang Yangyang's thoughts, Lin Siqing looked out the window curiously. There was nothing special except the extremely heavy rain.
Rainy days are already anxiety-inducing, and this heavy rain is accompanied by rumbling thunder.
The sky gradually darkened. Today was the Ghost Festival, so people went home early. There was no one outside.
In the old house of Shang Wanyue. "Wanyue, you have to hold on." Although Cheng also had a fever due to the rain, she stayed by Shang Wanyue's side.
Sometimes he fed her medicine, sometimes he helped Shang Wanyue cool down.
Suddenly, Shang Wanyue on the bed began to twitch.
Shang Wanyue's limbs began to tremble, his eyes rolled up, and his lips turned purple.
Cheng stepped forward anxiously, and Shang Wanyue suddenly began to foam at the mouth and breathe rapidly.
Shang Wanyue's face was extremely pale. Cheng became anxious and flustered. She kept wiping the white foam from the corners of Shang Wanyue's mouth.
Cheng held Shang Wanyue in her arms and shouted, "Someone, come, go get Doctor Wu."
"Late moon, late moon,"
But there was no movement outside. Cheng cried heartbreakingly that she would go find a doctor herself. Just as she was about to push the door open, Li's angry voice came from next door. "Cheng Lianlian, be quiet. No one is allowed to go out today on the Ghost Festival."
"No, I want to save Wanyue."
Li said sarcastically: "Well, if you go, you can make it to the clinic alive. Let's see which doctor dares to open the door. If Wanyue has a fever, you can wipe her body to cool her down. Keep her quiet."
"I..." Cheng carried Shang Wanyue, who was foaming at the mouth, back to the bedside. She brought some wine to wipe Shang Wanyue's body, but there was no improvement.
Just when Shang Wanyue wet her clothes, the twitching stopped completely.
Cheng went forward to check on Shang Wanyue's condition, and when she found that Shang Wanyue had stopped breathing, she burst into tears.
"Late Moon, Late Moon, my late moon."
There was a flash of thunder in the sky and a beam of white light shone into the house.
Cheng didn't notice the baby in her arms. Her breathing became steady and her feverish body gradually got better.
Cheng fainted while hugging Shang Wanyue.
It was not until the next day that Cheng was awakened by the crying baby.
She looked at the crying Shang Wanyue and stood there in a daze.
I pinched my thigh with my hand and felt the real pain.
She laughed heartily. "Fortunately, fortunately, my Wanyue is fine."
Shang Wanyue, who was held in Cheng's arms, had eyes that were no longer as clear as before. Instead, they were sharper and mixed with an unknown melancholy.
She is a soul from another world who traveled through time to the modern world last night.
