"Quickly gag them!" Xiao Tao was furious and kicked them several times.
Several servants quickly tied up the old women, took off their socks, and stuffed them into their mouths to silence them.
The courtyard fell silent instantly.
Looking at the several old women on the ground with fierce eyes, Rong Qingqing sneered, "The old lady is ill and needs to rest. How can she recuperate with all this noise? Is this how Madam Chen lets you take care of the old lady's courtyard? What is she up to?"
The old women's mouths were gagged, and they could only make muffled noises in vain.
Rong Qingqing ignored them and turned to the doctor who had been summoned, saying, "The servants in my household are in charge, I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Doctor Xu." She sighed, "She is clearly my own grandmother, yet it is so difficult to see her."
Dr. Xu broke out in a cold sweat.
I've always heard that the eldest daughter of the Rong family is timid and cowardly, but seeing her in person is truly an eye-opener.
If she's considered cowardly and weak, then there's probably no one brave in the world.
"It's alright, it's alright, saving lives is the priority." Doctor Xu suppressed his embarrassment and laughed it off.
Rong Qingqing nodded and led the doctor to the old lady's room.
However, upon arriving at the old lady's house and opening the door, a strong smell of medicine wafted out. Although it wasn't unpleasant, Rong Qingqing was still choked by it.
She pushed the door open completely, took a few steps back, stood by the door for a while, and only stepped inside after the smell had dissipated somewhat.
She could hardly stand the smell, let alone the people living inside the house.
Even if you're not sick, the fumes can make you sick.
That Chen woman really has no good intentions!
Once inside, Rong Qingqing noticed that all the windows in the room were tightly closed, preventing air circulation. No wonder the smell had been so strange earlier.
There wasn't a single servant in the house.
She immediately saw that the old lady was lying alone in bed.
Her eyes were closed, her face was withered, and her skin was sallow; it was clear at a glance that she had been ill for a long time.
Seeing the old man's appearance, Rong Qingqing felt a pang of anxiety.
Although this was the original owner's grandmother, Rong Qingqing felt extremely sad to see the old lady, who had always treated the original owner well, being treated so miserably.
"Dr. Xu, please take a look at my grandmother quickly." Rong Qingqing snapped out of her daze and hurriedly urged Dr. Xu, who followed her in.
Having witnessed Rong Qingqing's bandit-like behavior along the way, Dr. Xu had initially been somewhat suspicious, but upon seeing the old lady lying unconscious on the bed, he began to understand her better.
He hurriedly put down his medicine box, stepped forward, and examined the old lady.
While Dr. Xu was taking the old lady's pulse, Rong Qingqing was also busy. Together with Xiao Tao, she opened the closed windows one by one.
With the air circulating, the room instantly felt less stuffy, and the smell of medicine slowly dissipated.
As time went on, Dr. Xu still hadn't reached a conclusion, and Rong Qingqing couldn't help but feel a little nervous, fearing that her deduction was wrong and that the old lady was actually seriously ill...
Fifteen minutes later, Dr. Xu finally straightened up.
Rong Qingqing hurriedly asked, "Dr. Xu, how is my grandmother? What illness does she have?"
Doctor Xu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Miss Rong, if I am not mistaken, the old lady is not ill, but rather suffering from a chronic poisoning."
His tone was cautious, as if he still had some reservations.
