Chapter 240 Angry



By now, everyone in the East Hall of the Dharma Hall discovered that something had happened to Yu Tang.

The old Ans had experienced a lot, and although they were panicked, they were not too nervous; the wives and young wives were indifferent and just watched the excitement. Only Chen, who was sitting behind the old Ans of the Pei family, suddenly saw her daughter fainted. She was so scared that her soul flew away. She sat there like an idiot, not knowing how to move. Then there was the second wife who was serving the old Ans. She felt a pang in her heart and shouted "Oh no" several times in her heart.

Yu Tang is the only daughter in the family. If anything goes wrong with Yu Tang at the lectures held by their family, the Yu family will probably be broken up. And it is difficult for the Pei family to explain to others that such a big mistake has been made.

The second wife ran over immediately.

Chen finally came to her senses, burst into tears and called out "My son", then ran over following the second wife.

The people who fainted were particularly heavy. Only Miss Wu, who had not grown up yet, was closest to Yu Tang and supported him. When the Second Madam and Mrs. Chen came over and took Yu Tang, Miss Wu felt that half of her body was numb. But she still remembered Miss San's words and hurriedly said to Miss Er, "Mom, Sister Yu seems to have a heat stroke!"

Chen was so anxious that she had no idea what to do. Upon hearing this, she immediately begged the second wife, "Quick, please ask the doctor to come and take a look!"

The second wife saw that her face was as white as gold and her lips were as white as wax, but there was not a drop of sweat on her face. She did not look like she had a heat stroke. Seeing that Chen looked at a loss, she hurriedly whispered, "Madam Yu, we can't let Miss Yu stay here in public. How about this? I remember there is a quiet room not far behind the Dharma Hall. I will ask someone to talk to the master in the temple and borrow their place to take care of her first." Miss Yu will be placed there. As for the doctor, first invite the doctor who is accompanying us, and send someone to the city to invite another doctor, so that it will be safer. The accompanying doctor is easy to ask, just let Madam Ji go and ask for a doctor. Go to the city to invite a doctor, and I will ask the maid beside me to find the stewards. We can move forward together, and Miss Yu's condition will not be delayed. You also stay at a fixed place. Miss Yu will need your care later!"

While they were talking, Pei Laoan also came over.

Without saying a word, she squatted down and took Yu Tang's pulse.

This is not a case of heatstroke, it's clearly a case of being frightened.

She was furious.

It was no big deal for little girls to play tricks in this big family, but when things got to this point, it was a bit too much.

Old Master Pei quietly winked at the Second Madam, then comforted Chen in a gentle voice, "Yes! Don't worry, the little girl will be fine. She is so well behaved, and she is in the temple, the Bodhisattva will protect her. Don't worry for now. Wait until the doctor comes and see what he says."

After being comforted by Pei Laoan and the second wife, Chen was finally not so frightened anymore.

She thanked him profusely.

Pei Lao'an said to the other people watching as if nothing had happened: "It's okay. Maybe the incense was burned a little too much. The little girl was bored and couldn't adapt to it for a while. The doctor will come over and take a few pills and she'll be fine."

Apart from this, no one could think of any other possibility. In addition, Pei Laoan had just checked Yu Tang's pulse, and everyone asked if there was anything they could do to help. Even Peng Shiyi said very apologetically, "You were scared by me, weren't you? The scar on my face is too scary! If I had known this, I wouldn't have come here to visit you."

Pei Laoan was stunned when she heard this, thinking that this might be possible, but she quickly denied her guess, thinking that Yu Tang was not such a timid person. She couldn't help but laugh and said, "Shiyilang, you worry too much. Our little girl is not ignorant."

Peng Shiyi was quite surprised.

Pei Laoan smiled and said to everyone, "I know everyone is worried about Miss Yu, but let's go! Miss Yu is already upset, and if you keep surrounding her like this, she will be even more upset."

Everyone agreed, and although they did not sit down, they dispersed a little, and the atmosphere in the East Hall also eased a little.

Miss Wu and Gu Xi stood at the outermost edge of the crowd. But Miss Wu stood on tiptoe to look at Yu Tang for a few times, and whispered to Gu Xi: "She is not pretending, is she? I don't think heatstroke looks like this."

Gu Xi couldn't understand why Yu Tang would do this, she asked doubtfully, "Shouldn't it be possible?"

Miss Wu snorted disdainfully and said, "Some people have a lot of ideas. Who knows what she is planning?"

Gu Xi wanted to ask Miss Wu if she had noticed anything, but Aunt Chen had already come over with two strong maids carrying a sedan chair.

The second wife and Chen placed Yu Tang on the sedan chair.

Pei Yan had been keeping an eye on what was going on in the East Palace, and was a little worried that Yu Tang and Gu Xi were causing trouble. Now, there was a sedan chair being carried and a doctor being called, and although other people didn't notice it, Pei Yan couldn't help but notice it.

His expression suddenly turned stern, but before he could call Ah Ming and others to ask questions, Pei Man had already hurried over and whispered in his ear to tell Pei Yan that Yu Tang had fainted.

"What did you say?!" Pei Yan sucked in a breath of cold air, and felt as if a cold wind was blowing through his heart, making him feel cold all over, and his face seemed to be frozen pale.

He stood up suddenly and opened his mouth to ask "Why did Miss Yu faint?", but out of the corner of his eye he saw Tao Qing's curious face.

Pei Yan had no choice but to swallow his words.

It doesn't matter if he shouts like that, but Miss Yu will become famous among several big families and even in the whole Jiangnan area.

Pei Yan's heart suddenly felt like it was grabbed by a cat, and it was aching excruciatingly.

His face looked even uglier.

Miss Yu is a troublemaker and often walks by the river. Isn't it normal that her shoes got wet this time?

What was he worried about her?

This is what I thought in my mind, but I couldn't suppress the feeling of heartache.

Moreover, Yu Tang didn't know what exactly happened, and he was in no mood to sort out these emotions carefully. He said to Pei Man with a sullen face: "Come with me!"

Having said this, he walked towards the back door of the Dharma Hall without explaining anything to the people present.

The Fourth Master Song and others who were sitting in the main hall were caught off guard and left alone in the hall. They looked at each other in bewilderment, not knowing what had happened. Should they send someone to ask? Or should they just pretend they knew nothing and wait here?

Pei Man sensed the rage suppressed in Pei Yan's heart, so he forced himself to follow him and told him in detail about Yu Tang's fainting.

Pei Yan's mood was like the weather in June when it was about to rain: depressed, anxious, and irritable.

He said unhappily, "Is there no one who knows what is going on?"

Pei Man finally saw clearly that whenever the Third Elder met Miss Yu, he would make trouble out of nothing. Especially now that Miss Yu was really in trouble, the Third Elder must be so angry!

He didn't want to be angered.

Pei Man said cautiously: "We have to wait for the doctor to see it before we know."

Pei Yan said anxiously, "Why don't you go get a doctor?"

Pei Man was choked and speechless.

He was the chief steward of the family, in charge of all affairs. If he went to invite the doctor, who would take care of the huge pile of things in front of him? Besides, he had six or seven stewards under him. If he was a small steward or a servant, he would have to go in person for such a small matter as inviting the doctor. Why did he have so many subordinates?

This is what the third master told him before!

But at this time, the Third Elder was like a Flaming Mountain that was about to erupt. He didn't want to add fuel to the fire and set the Flaming Mountain on fire, thus burning himself to death.

He immediately said, "I'll go right away!"

Whether he goes in person or sends someone is his business.

One suppressed his anger while the other perfunctorily dealt with his boss. The two of them walked out of the back door of the court hall one after the other, just in time to see a sedan chair carrying Yu Tang out.

The person who is usually so lively and energetic that he can make you angry to death is now dead and gloomy...

Pei Yan was stunned and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Pei Laoan, who was sending Yu Tang out, saw Pei Yan at the first sight.

"Why are you here?" Mrs. Pei walked over quickly, because she didn't know what happened to Yu Tang. She was still pretending to be fine in front of outsiders, but she couldn't help showing some worry in front of her son. She said rapidly, "You also know about Miss Yu? I'm afraid that the doctor we brought can only treat minor illnesses such as headaches and fevers. We have to invite a powerful doctor to come quickly. If that doesn't work, send her to Hangzhou City. It would be great if we could contact Doctor Yang Yu now."

Doctor Yang Yu just came to check the first wife's pulse.

Pei Yan said: "Then let him make another trip."

Pei Laoan nodded sadly and said, "Don't worry. I'm watching over here! Your second sister-in-law is doing her job well now. You can go to the main hall to entertain the people from the Song and Wu families."

Pei Yan felt upset and panicked when he saw Yu Tang, whose hands were hanging weakly beside the sedan chair because he had lost consciousness.

"It's okay. Don't we still have our second brother?" Pei Yan's eyes seemed to be glued to Yu Tang, and he couldn't tear them off even if he wanted to. He said, "I'd better go over and take a look. After all, it was me who invited Miss Yu. You still have to entertain those wives of the heads of the families, second sister-in-law..." He couldn't do big things, but he could take care of a patient, but he was still worried.

Pei Yan's lips twitched, trying to find a reason to convince his mother. The Second Wife and Chen had already noticed that Pei Yan had also come over, and hurried to greet him.

The second wife wanted to say a few words to Pei Yan, but Chen was afraid that Yu Tang's condition would be delayed, so she urged the two maids to go to the meditation room quickly. The second wife looked at Pei Yan in embarrassment.

Pei Yan said, "You guys should take Miss Yu over there quickly. I will go with the doctor later."

Is that correct?

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Pei Laoan and the second wife were misled by him, thinking that he was going to wait for the doctor from Lin'an City to come before visiting Yu Tang together.

As the host, this is what we should do.

Neither of them said anything more.

The Second Madam and Chen escorted Yu Tang to the meditation room in a hurry, while Mrs. Pei went back to entertain the wives of the head wives.

Pei Yan hesitated whether to follow now or wait a while and go around before going over. However, when he raised his eyes, he found Gu Xi and Miss Wu standing at the east door of the Dharma Hall, looking out.
