Rong Qingqing stood by the bed watching.
When I saw Dr. Xu skillfully insert the silver needle into Madam Rong's Baihui acupoint, I was amazed but also relieved.
She had someone inquire about Dr. Xu's medical skills and learned that Dr. Xu had excellent medical skills and ethics.
However, he was a bit eccentric and didn't like treating wealthy families, refusing to treat them whenever possible. As a result, he offended many people. Moreover, he was devoted to studying medicine and often went up the mountain to find a medicinal herb, sometimes not returning for ten days or half a month. Over time, people gradually forgot about him.
Therefore, although his medical skills were excellent, most of the people who sought his treatment in the capital were ordinary people. In addition, he was easy-going and his consultation fees were based on what the patients paid, so he lived a very frugal life and still lives in a narrow alley.
It was just a coincidence that she was able to invite him this time.
Fortunately, we were able to invite Dr. Xu to treat the old lady.
Otherwise, other doctors might not have been able to diagnose that the old lady was poisoned.
A quarter of an hour later, Doctor Xu put away the silver needles and gave Rong Qingqing a bottle of medicine, instructing her, "The old lady will wake up in less than a quarter of an hour. When that happens, Miss Rong can give her one of these pills. After all, she has been unconscious for a long time, and she may feel dizzy, lightheaded, and short of breath when she wakes up suddenly. This medicine will help."
"Thank you, Dr. Xu." Rong Qingqing reached out and took it.
Doctor Xu waved his hand, went to the table again, wrote out a prescription, and handed it to Rong Qingqing, "Have someone get the medicine as soon as possible, and decoct it for the old lady to drink. Remember to decoct one dose in the morning and one dose in the evening."
"I understand." Rong Qingqing thanked her, then said to Xiao Tao, "See Doctor Xu off for me."
"Yes." Xiao Tao understood. While seeing Doctor Xu out, she took a purse and stuffed it into his hand. "This is a small token of our young lady's appreciation. Doctor Xu, please accept it."
Doctor Xu took the purse and, seeing its weight, knew it contained a considerable amount of silver. He immediately tried to refuse, but Xiao Tao stopped him. "Doctor Xu, please don't refuse. Actually, this consultation fee isn't much. It's just that my young lady's situation is still quite difficult right now. Once things are a bit easier, we will definitely repay her more generously." She paused, then added, "Doctor Xu, please don't make a fuss about today's matter."
"This, I understand." Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Doctor Xu had no choice but to accept it.
Xiao Tao saw Doctor Xu out through the back door.
When they returned to Deshou Hall, there was a sudden commotion in the front yard.
The servants who had stayed at the front to keep watch ran over and reported, "Madam Rong has returned and is knocking on the gate. Should we open it or not?"
Xiao Tao was taken aback, not expecting Chen Shi to return so quickly. "You go and keep watch first, I'll ask the old lady first."
"Yes." The servant quickly returned to the front yard.
Xiao Tao hurriedly entered Deshou Hall and reported the matter to Rong Qingqing.
Rong Qingqing sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the still unconscious Madam Rong. "They came back faster than I expected."
"Should we open the door?" Xiaotao asked.
"Let's wait a little longer," Rong Qingqing said.
After all, she had only heard about Dr. Xu's medical skills.
We'll have to wait until the old lady wakes up before we can talk about it.
After thinking for a moment, she changed her mind. "Forget it, let them open the door. The Rong family is now controlled by the Chen family. When those servants see her return, they will definitely try to open the door for her. The few servants we brought can't control them." As she spoke, she took out the prescription written by Doctor Xu, glanced at it, and handed it to Xiao Tao. "Keep this prescription safe, and then go to the pharmacy yourself to get the medicine."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tao became anxious, "But if I leave, Miss, you'll be all alone..."
"Don't worry, the Chen family wouldn't dare do anything to me." Rong Qingqing smiled reassuringly and patted her hand. "Go on."
