As dusk approached, no one in the front hall announced that it was time for dinner.
Fortunately, Lu Qiqi and Lu Yao had eaten a lot of pastries at Baozhu Pavilion, so they weren't very hungry as dinner time approached.
The room was filled with things sent by Baozhu Pavilion, making it inconvenient to even find a place to stand.
Lu Qiqi glanced at the jewelry Lu Yao had chosen; most of them were exquisite, yet understated.
It's suitable for everyday wear or for attending banquets.
"Sister, I've made my choice."
Lu Yao held a string of white jade beads and walked up to Lu Qiqi. "Sister, how about attaching these beads to the purse I embroidered for you?"
Lu Qiqi looked up at her and smiled, "Our Ayao is skillful; whatever she makes will surely look beautiful."
Lu Yao blushed at the praise, clutching the beads in her hand and nodding earnestly.
As night deepened and dinner had not yet been served in the front hall, Lu Qiqi said, "Ayao, take Haitang to the front hall first."
"Once Qingdai has finished tidying up the jewelry she has chosen, I will go to the front hall to find you."
"good."
Not long after Lu Yao left, Qingdai put away the jewelry and came out from the inner room.
Lu Qiqi then found an excuse to have Qingdai go to Li Changlong to get some things and deliver them directly to the front hall.
While she was distracted, she put all the things that Baozhu Pavilion had sent into her spatial storage.
After putting everything away, the room felt much more spacious.
Lu Qiqi estimated that it was about time, so she decided to go to the front hall.
Just as she closed the door, she heard someone calling her from afar.
She turned around and saw Chunhe, who looked anxious.
“Miss, the old lady is unwell, and the eldest madam asked me to invite you to come and see her.”
After saying this, Lu Qiqi noticed, in the dim candlelight, that large, glistening beads of sweat were glistening on Chunhe's forehead.
Lu Qiqi said, "Chunhe, wait here for a while, I'll go back and get my medicine box."
After saying that, Lu Qiqi pushed the door open again and took a few steps into the house in the dark.
Once she was out of Chunhe's sight, she took the medicine box out of her spatial storage.
When Chunhe saw her come out, she wanted to go forward to take the medicine box, but she caught nothing. Watching Lu Qiqi walk away with the medicine box, she quickly chased after her.
Heading to Madam Chen's courtyard, Lu Qiqi thought about how the old lady's complexion had been quite good during breakfast earlier that day.
Why did you suddenly fall ill?
Lu Qiqi walked quickly ahead, asking as she went, "Chunhe, is the old lady unwell? What are her symptoms?"
Chunhe pondered for a moment, then jogged to catch up with her. "The old lady coughed sharply and then had some difficulty breathing."
Shortness of breath and coughing?
When Lu Qiqi noticed something was amiss, she and Chunhe also went to the old lady's courtyard.
The room was brightly lit, and there were quite a few people around.
Lu Qiqi walked into the house carrying her medicine box. When the crowd saw her, they quickly made way for her.
Xuan Wenying let Old Madam Chen's head rest against her abdomen for support as she sat in the main seat.
When she saw Lu Qiqi, her eyes lit up. "Qiqi, come quick! Your grandmother is coughing so badly that she can barely breathe."
Lu Qiqi walked over and placed the medicine box on the table.
Chunhe, with great foresight, brought over a stool for her to sit on so she could take her pulse.
While taking Madam Chen's pulse, Lu Qiqi sensed several people surrounding her. Knowing they were worried and confused, she didn't disperse them.
As soon as Lu Qiqi released the old lady's hand, Ding Wanyue's voice came from behind her, "How is the old lady?"
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Lu Qiqi said, "Grandmother was so angry that she had a sudden attack of her heart, and her violent cough triggered a mild asthma attack."
As she spoke, Lu Qiqi handed a porcelain bottle to Granny Chen, "These contain pills for treating lung disease. Granny, dissolve one pill in warm water and have Grandmother take it."
Granny Chen took the porcelain bottle with both hands and went to prepare it.
Seeing that Granny Chen had walked away, Lu Qiqi turned back to Xuan Wenying and said, "Fortunately, my aunt was there to support her, so my grandmother didn't lie down."
Otherwise, even mild asthma, if not treated properly, can be fatal.
Xuan Wenying hadn't expected the situation to be so serious, almost causing a major disaster, and her face instantly froze.
After she came to her senses, she was also very glad that she wanted to make the old lady feel better, so she didn't help her into the house to lie down.
"Aunt," Lu Qiqi asked, "what happened that made Grandmother so angry and upset?"
After all, even when her maternal grandmother learned that Lu Changping's identity was fake, she didn't get this angry.
It's quite thought-provoking that he's now so angry that he has asthma.
Upon hearing this, Xuan Wenying opened her mouth but did not speak; instead, she looked at Chen Siqi.
At the same time, Ding Wanyue had her back to everyone. She put her hands together and bowed towards the outside of the house, saying, "Thank you for your protection, ancestors!"
Chen Siqi felt ashamed of her mother, who had just been scolded, and was still resentful.
Now she saw Lu Qiqi again, gesturing wildly in her grandmother's courtyard, speaking in a sarcastic tone.
"Who knows if she's telling the truth or not? There's no doctor here, so she can make up whatever she wants."
Ding Wanyue was already terrified, fearing that when her husband returned home, he would find out that it was Chen Siqi who had made the old lady sick.
Chen Siqi is still throwing a tantrum, it's utterly absurd!
Ding Wanyue reached out and pinched Chen Siqi's waist hard, telling her to stop talking.
But to everyone's surprise, instead of silencing Chen Siqi, it only made her angry as she was in pain.
Then he shouted, "What I said isn't wrong! Who knows if she's lying!"
When Doctor Yuan came to the mansion to treat my grandmother's illness, it took more than an hour to prepare the medicine.
Who knows what kind of medicine she just casually pulled out was!
After Chen Siqi finished speaking, she saw Lu Qiqi looking her up and down, and she could even see a hint of mockery in her eyes.
Before he could react, he heard Lu Qiqi's cold voice.
"Being stupid is not wrong; being stupid without realizing it is!"
"If you're so capable, then come and try! If you're not, then get out of the way and don't block the way!"
Xuan Wenying hesitated to speak, while Chen Siqi cleverly argued her way out of a situation.
Even a fool could guess that this matter was related to Chen Siqi.
From childhood to adulthood, Chen Siqi had never been spoken to harshly, and hearing Lu Qiqi's words made her expression change drastically.
Just as she was about to rush forward and teach Lu Qiqi a lesson, a hand forcefully pulled her aside.
Looking up from the hand that was gripping her arm, I saw her mother's face.
Before Chen Siqi could break free, Ding Wanyue applied some force, instantly discouraging her and making her afraid to move.
"The medicine is here! The medicine is here!"
Upon hearing Granny Chen's voice, everyone turned to look.
Then, Granny Chen carried a bowl of brown medicine and walked straight toward Old Madam Chen.
After receiving the medicine, Lu Qiqi took Xuan Wenying's place, allowing Old Madam Chen to lean against her.
Then slowly feed the medicine into Old Madam Chen's mouth.
Madam Chen was so angry that she suffered a heart attack, and she also had a lung ailment from years ago. Fortunately, she had taken good care of herself, otherwise she would have been at risk of becoming critically ill.
Thinking of this, Lu Qiqi decided to make pills to treat acute asthma in the future, in order to prevent such things from happening again!
