Chapter 23 The Careful Xu
After a cup of tea, Doctor Zhang removed the silver needle and took Ouyang Feilian's pulse again.
Xu Yuzhu was also confused. At this moment, she was looking at Doctor Zhang who was taking Ouyang Feilian's pulse with a nervous look on her face, wanting to know how this girl was doing now.
Finally, as Xu Yuzhu was anxiously waiting, Doctor Zhang put down his hands, walked to the table thoughtfully, picked up the pen and began to write a prescription.
Swish, swish, swish…
He wrote two prescriptions in succession, picked them up and looked at them carefully, then wrote two words on them. Then he handed them to Xu Yuzhu, frowned slightly, and lowered his voice and said, "Second Madam, can you please talk to me for a moment?"
"Doctor Zhang, this way please."
Seeing that the servants had all stayed away, Doctor Zhang whispered, "Second Madam, the eldest lady has poison in her body. Fortunately, the amount is small and it can be cured. The poison must have been taken within three days. If it hadn't been discovered early, it would have been difficult to cure after a month."
Hearing this, Xu Yuzhu was a little shocked by Doctor Zhang's words and whispered: "The poison will be difficult to cure within three days or even a month."
Doctor Zhang nodded, sighed, and handed the two prescriptions in his hand to Xu, instructing, "Second Madam, these two prescriptions, one is for a medicinal bath, and the other is for a decoction. Remember to separate them when you dispense the medicine."
"The medicinal bath isn't anything special. All you need to do is boil it into a soup, pour it into the tub, and let the young lady soak in it for the time it takes to stick up an incense stick. The difficulty lies in the fact that there are two herbs in the soup that are hard to find, and these two herbs are the main ingredients, so they are indispensable."
Xu Yuzhu carefully took the prescription and thanked Doctor Zhang with great gratitude: "Thank you, Doctor Zhang, I'm so sorry for the trouble. The consultation fee will be paid later..."
Just as he mentioned the medical fee, he heard a harsh voice: "Xu Yuzhu, what on earth are you thinking? I left the house for a while, and my son and daughter fell into the water. Tell me, what on earth are you thinking?"
Xu Yuzhu was furious after hearing Jiang's indiscriminate words, but thinking that the doctor was still there, she turned to look at Doctor Zhang: "Doctor Zhang, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. I'll ask someone to see you off. Qiuyue, see Doctor Zhang off."
"Yes, ma'am."
After Doctor Zhang and Qiuyue left Chaohuiyuan, Xu Yuzhu walked up to Jiang with a stern face and slapped the two prescriptions in her hands into Jiang's.
Then, he looked at her coldly and said, "These two are prescriptions written by Doctor Zhang of Huichuntang. How to use them, or whether to use them or not, sister-in-law, make the decision yourself. I have done a good deed and I am not going to get any benefits..."
After saying this, Xu led her men towards the gate of Zhaohui Courtyard.
As they approached the courtyard gate, they saw Ouyang Hui rushing towards them. Xu Yuzhu snorted coldly and said, "I don't know what happened at my sister-in-law's family today. She actually left the two children here without a care."
"If I, a busybody, hadn't come back early, there wouldn't be a single person in charge at home today except for these two children lying on the bed. If a thief suddenly came to the house, who knows what would happen..."
After finishing speaking, Xu Yuzhu glanced at Jiang, whose face turned a little pale, and led the people in her yard out of Chaohui Courtyard.
Hejinyuan.
Xu Yuzhu, who was sitting in the main seat, looked very unhappy. After Qiuyue came back from escorting the doctor out of the house, she assigned Qiuyue a task: "Quickly investigate anything that happened in the house today."
"Yes, ma'am."
Soon, the brothers Ouyang Jin and Ouyang Qin came hurriedly, followed closely by Jiang Yun and Xinyue holding their two children.
Ouyang Jin stepped into the yard and asked hurriedly: "Madam, how are Yan'er and Lian'er?"
Xu Yuzhu did not answer immediately, but winked at Xinyue. Xinyue took the maids, old women and servants out, and then stood guard outside the door, not letting anyone approach.
"Master, Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law, please think carefully about when you left the house today. Was this a last-minute decision or was it planned long ago?"
"Doctor Zhang from Huichuntang examined Lian Jie'er and said she was poisoned. He also said it had been taken within three days. He said if the poison had been taken for a month, it would be difficult to cure."
Hearing Xu Yuzhu's words and seeing her serious expression, the three of them gasped.
"What"
"Poisoning"
"How is this possible?"
"I also thought it was impossible, but when I saw Sister Lian, not only were her lips the wrong color, but her face was also pale with a hint of blue. No matter how I looked at it, she didn't look like someone who had fallen into the water and been rescued."
"Brother Yan woke up on his own, but he felt dizzy. When my sister-in-law came back, Doctor Zhang had just given me Sister Lian's prescription and hadn't taken Brother Yan's pulse yet."
"hiss…"
After hearing what Xu Yuzhu said, the three of them took a deep breath and began to think in their hearts.
The room immediately fell silent, and the atmosphere was filled with a hint of tension...
Suddenly, Jiang Yun looked at Xu Yuzhu and said, "Second sister-in-law, we agreed to go out today a few days ago, but..."
"But what?"
"But when we were leaving, we saw my sister-in-law's nephew hurriedly leaving the house. It seemed that my sister-in-law was not at home at that time."
Jiang Yun thought for a moment before continuing, "I'm sure my sister-in-law wasn't home at the time. I asked the doorman, and he said she had been out for an incense stick of time."
Xu Yuzhu asked in confusion: "What was my nephew from my sister-in-law's family doing here? Why did he rush out in such a hurry?"
"I don't know. We were in a hurry to go out, so we didn't ask carefully. It was late noon when we left."
"At the end of noon, I returned about half an hour after you left. As soon as I got back, I ran into the servant who had gone out to look for the doctor at the door."
"Second sister-in-law, how could it be such a coincidence?"
"Humph! I came back early. If I had waited for your second brother to pick me up, perhaps things would have been different."
"After all, when I entered Zhaohui Courtyard, none of the maids, servants, or servants in the courtyard even looked at me openly. Even my eldest brother, his wife, and the old lady were not approached. Only one servant went to look for the doctor..."
Xu Yuzhu was talking when she suddenly changed the subject and whispered, "Tell me, did I ruin someone's good fortune?"
Hearing this, Ouyang Qin's face darkened slightly. "According to what Second Sister-in-law said, this seems a little wrong. At least someone should go look for Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law, but why are they all in the yard instead of looking for anyone..."
"Yes, my second sister-in-law entered the Chaohui Courtyard. Could it be that she is invisible and the maids and servants can't see it? This seems a bit strange..."
Jiang Yun supported her brother in her arms and continued, "Our family has never had a situation where all the masters are not at home, but today they are all away. I don't know if this is a coincidence or..."
Xu Yuzhu thought about the whole thing, then looked at Ouyang Jin with a serious face and said, "Master, I may have ruined someone's good fortune."
"How to say"
"I asked Mrs. Li to look for my sister-in-law. When she came back and saw me, she asked me what I was up to, asking why she fell into the water just after leaving her brothers and sisters. Did Mrs. Li not tell her, or was she deliberately throwing dirty water on me..."
