The medicine that Wei Heng asked Lao He to buy took effect very quickly. About twenty breaths after Wei Heng was kicked back repeatedly and finally fell to the ground, Wei Heng's father already felt that something was wrong with his body.
A slight numbness and soreness quickly swept through his body, and he fell backwards softly.
The woman who was secretly proud of Wei Heng being beaten and scolded, and crying even harder, could no longer act the moment Wei Heng's father fell down. She screamed and rushed towards Wei Heng's father.
Reacting at the same time as her were Wei Heng's father's two trusted followers.
They were faster than the woman, but the moment one of them supported Wei Heng's father, he was pushed away by the woman with a scream.
"Master! Master!" The woman screamed at Wei Heng's father while shaking his body hard.
Wei Heng lowered his eyes to hide all his emotions. He struggled to get up, then told Old He in a deep voice, "Uncle He, go get the imperial physician."
The imperial physician lived in the yard next to his mother's. His father lost consciousness at the door of his mother's yard. It would be unreasonable for him not to ask the imperial physician for his father.
Old He was busy being shocked and secretly delighted. When he heard Wei Heng say that, he replied "yes" somewhat reluctantly, but he still honestly ran to ask for the imperial physician for Wei Heng's father.
It was true that he wanted that beast-like thing to die, but his young master had to call that bastard "Dad" after all, and he couldn't delay and let people use this as an opportunity to attack his young master.
The imperial physician was quickly called over by Lao He. He examined Wei Heng's father's condition and then ordered people to carry him to his own yard.
"It's a stroke, the same condition as Old Lady Wei."
When Wei Heng heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, "My grandmother..."
He was shocked, and in the eyes of the imperial physician, it was unbelievable and he was unwilling to accept the fact. He thought to himself, I didn't expect that the Wei family could have such a good thing happen. It's a pity that they only have such a filial son, but Mrs. Wei and Mr. Wei don't know how to cherish him.
The imperial physician's next diagnosis will not be without basis. It is understandable that Wei Heng has been staying here to take care of his mother and was unaware that Old Madam Wei was ill. However, all his half brothers and half sisters are fine, but these people are just like their father, Master Wei, and simply don't go to Old Madam Wei. What else can they do but a bunch of unfilial descendants?
Thinking about all these messes in his mind, the imperial physician took his apprentice to Wei Heng's father's yard.
He had already taken the patient's pulse, and the next step was to write a prescription.
What he didn't expect was that just as he prescribed a prescription for Wei Heng's father, Lu Tong's eldest son had already sent someone over.
The unconscious old lady Wei was directly expelled from the Lu family, and the also unconscious master Wei was unilaterally declared to be cut off from the Lu family. Not only did the Wei family lose its biggest support in the official circle overnight, but Lu Tong's eldest son also had all the imperial doctors, guards, and servants who had stayed in the Wei family called away, and his attitude of severing ties was very firm.
The imperial physicians who were originally invited by the Lu Mansion left promptly. The steward of the Lu Mansion gave them hard work fees on behalf of Lu Tong's eldest son, and then kindly sent them out of the Wei Mansion. Wei Heng's father and old lady Wei, who were halfway through the treatment, were suddenly left unattended.
Wei Heng's mother and sister had no shortage of care because their own servants had hired a doctor and had never let the doctor leave.
The sudden change threw the Wei Mansion into chaos. The servants were in a panic and subconsciously wanted to find a backbone who could make them feel safe. However, Wei Heng, who was completely disappointed with the Wei Mansion, closed the gate of the courtyard and did not show up.
As for the concubine who once had her way in the Wei Mansion, she no longer cared about the servants in the Wei Mansion.
The biggest supporter of Old Madam Wei and Old Master Wei is gone, but the supporter of Wei Heng and his two children, mother and son, is still alive and well, working as a high-ranking official outside.
Things have changed, and now it is time for Old Madam Wei and Old Master Wei to lose the limelight.
Her biggest support, Master Wei, is now in a disadvantageous position. As a concubine born of slavery, wouldn't she become completely trapped under the feet of Wei Heng and his two children?
She panicked, so while Mrs. Wei and Mr. Wei were unconscious, she packed up her belongings and left with her children without looking back.
Of course, it was impossible for the servants who came with Wei Heng's mother's dowry to let her take away the Wei family's wealth.
Their young master is the eldest son of the Wei family, and more than 90% of the Wei family's wealth should belong to their young master.
How could a mere concubine and illegitimate son take away nearly half of the Wei family's wealth?
So, the servants, who had already predicted what the woman would do next, led by Lao He, aggressively captured the woman who was about to escape from the capital with her children.
They caught the woman red-handed, and they also deliberately publicized the matter. After that, it would be quite easy for their daughter and young master to deal with this woman.
The subsequent developments were indeed as they expected. Because they were afraid of the power and status of Wei Heng's uncle, no one, including the patriarch and elders of the Wei family and the servants of the Wei mansion, expressed any objection to Wei Heng becoming the new head of the Wei family.
Wei Heng directly carried out a major replacement of the servants in the Wei Mansion.
Those who had participated in the siege of his mother's yard, those who helped his father's favorite concubine bully the three of them, and those who were particularly favored by his grandmother and father, he either sold them, dismissed them, or just let them guard his grandmother and father every day.
He re-selected a group of servants to fill the vacancies in the mansion, and then after everything was done, he wrote an urgent letter to inform his uncle of the latest situation.
As for the old lady Wei who was really sick and the old man Wei who was pretending to be sick, in order to avoid giving people a chance to talk, Wei Heng also asked doctors to examine them, prescribe medicine and give them acupuncture. However, the doctors that their Wei family could hire were not as good as the most outstanding doctors in the entire Da Qi.
The doctors have been treating Old Madam Wei and Old Master Wei, but they have not been able to find out what is wrong.
On the contrary, it was Wei Heng's mother and younger sister who recovered gradually over the next year because Wei Heng secretly sent them to the strange doctor in Huaishu Lane, Xicheng District for treatment.
Wei Heng was very grateful to Yu Zizhen, but because the Lu family and the Wei family had severed their relationship, Wei Heng no longer had the opportunity to go to the South Study to accompany his studies, and it was difficult for him to meet Yu Zizhen again in a natural way.
In order not to cause trouble to Yu Zizhen, he did not rashly go to the Zhenbei Palace, but silently waited for Yu Zizhen to come to him and ask for repayment for this great favor.
During the period of waiting, he not only sorted out all the affairs at home with the help of his loyal servants, but also found an old scholar with good knowledge and character to be a tutor for himself and his younger brothers and sisters.
