Chapter 242 Wake Up



Everyone in the Pei family seemed to have found their backbone. Mrs. Pei was no longer panicked, and the maids were no longer frightened. Someone ordered a sedan chair to be carried over, and someone supported Chen. Mrs. Pei also took the opportunity to have someone move a screen and place it in front of Yu Tang's Luohan bed.

Soon, Chen was sent to the place where the Wu and Wei families were resting.

Let’s not talk about the chaos over there, but here, Mrs. Pei had just sent Chen away when the old doctor who was accompanying the Pei family came over.

He already knew what had happened on the way, but when he saw Pei Yan standing at the door of the meditation room like a door god at first glance, he was still frightened. He hurriedly saluted Pei Yan and trotted into the meditation room.

Pei Yan also followed him into the meditation room.

Mrs. Pei placed a handkerchief on Yu Tang's hand and watched the old doctor take his pulse.

The old doctor took Pei Yan's pulse and looked at him in surprise.

The Pei family's inner quarters have always been quiet, but no one can guarantee that it will always be quiet.

The girl was obviously frightened, and with the Second Madam and Pei Yan by her side, he had no idea how to describe her illness.

Pei Yan thought that this doctor was a good choice, and thought that he would have to tell Pei Man about it later, and that the person who recommended this doctor to the mansion should be rewarded.

He said calmly, "My second sister-in-law thinks Miss Yu has suffered from heat stroke, and Old An thinks she has chest tightness and shortness of breath. What do you think is going on?"

Then of course, Pei Laoan will say whatever he wants.

The old doctor smiled and said, "The elders in the family have experience, which is a blessing for the younger generation. Most likely, there are too many people in the Dharma Hall. A girl who has been raised in a secluded place suddenly finds herself in such an occasion and cannot bear it. I will prescribe some heat-clearing and detoxifying prescriptions. Just take two doses and you will be fine. It's no big deal!"

Mrs. Pei knew that Pei Yan was trying to pressure the doctor so that he would not tell the truth, so she did not want to intervene. She called her personal maid and asked her to help the doctor with writing.

Pei Yan followed the doctor out from behind the screen.

The doctor didn't say anything. He quickly wrote a prescription and handed it to Pei Yan.

Pei Yan took a look and saw that it was a prescription for calming the nerves and mind. He knew that he had not misread the pulse before. His brows wrinkled into the shape of the Chinese character "川", but his anxious heart finally felt more at ease.

He called Ah Ming to get the medicine and said, "Prepare it yourself and serve it to Miss Yu."

This is to prevent other people from knowing Miss Yu’s illness.

Everyone understood and responded "yes" in unison, saying, "Miss Yu is suffocating and needs some fresh air. We will serve her outside and wait until she feels better, then we can serve her in front of her."

Those who come to visit the sick are naturally not allowed to be received.

Pei Yan nodded with satisfaction.

Ah Ming ran out with the prescription.

Pei Yan called the Second Madam, "Sister-in-law, Madam Yu still needs a doctor to take a look. You might as well go with her. I'll ask Qing Yuan to come and serve here, so you don't have to be too busy." Then, thinking that the Second Madam would probably want to have eight hands, he said, "I'll ask Hu Xing to come and help, and he'll be at your disposal."

Mrs. Pei sighed and said, "I dare not do that! Manager Hu must be very busy too! Mother has a lot of things to do too."

Pei Yan waved his hand in disapproval and said, "Originally, he was asked to come here to help mother and you manage the affairs of the inner house. Now, he has made my sister-in-law run around everywhere. It was originally his fault. Letting him come here to help can be regarded as letting him make up for his mistake. My sister-in-law doesn't have to worry about him not being able to handle it."

Mrs. Pei was indeed worried about this and that and felt very exhausted. She thought that although Hu Xing was a servant of her mother-in-law, it was her uncle who asked Hu Xing to help her, so she had the right to do so. So she smiled and thanked him, agreed, and took the doctor to Chen's place.

Pei Yan moved a high-back chair and sat under the Bodhi tree in the yard.

Pei Manzhe asked him cautiously, "Are you not going to the seminar?"

"What's there to go for?" Pei Yan asked, "Don't we still have our second brother?"

But can the second master and the third master be the same?

Pei Man didn't dare to say more.

He hadn't slept all night, and he had to deal with the matter of Yu Tang and her daughter. The manager was still waiting for his instructions for the lunch. He was so restless that he didn't dare to leave.

Pei Man had no choice but to wait there with Pei Yan.

Soon, Qing Yuan came over breathlessly, carrying a bundle and two maids. Just as she was about to greet Pei Yan, Pei Yan waved her hand and said, "Go to the room and serve Miss Yu. There is only a little maid left by the second sister-in-law in her room. I guess she doesn't know anything."

Qing Yuan had been serving Pei Yan since she was a child. She knew Pei Yan's stubborn temper and did not dare to say much. She half-knelt down to salute him and then went into the quiet room with two maids.

Pei Yan stretched his neck to take a look, then sat there again, his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart, thinking in his heart, how could Yu Tang be frightened by Peng Shiyi? It was a pity that he had no one in the East Palace, otherwise he could take this opportunity to ask what happened in the East Palace, and find out who frightened her.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was something fishy about the matter, and the more he didn't want to leave, as if by doing so he could wait for a result.

About half an incense stick of time later, Ah Ming came with a medicine bag, a stove, and a servant with coal, and squatted under the eaves to start boiling the medicine.

Pei Man was so sleepy that he yawned with his hands covering his mouth.

Pei Yan seemed to have just realized that he was still here, and asked: "Why are you still standing here? Is there nothing going on outside?"

If you are really surprised, you will definitely have a stern face.

Pei Man had also served Pei Yan since he was a child, and he could not help but complain in his heart, isn't he just trying to punish him? Miss Yu was sick, and it wasn't him who caused it, so why was he angry with her?

But he didn't dare to say these words, and pretended to say: "You didn't tell me, I thought you had something else to tell me!"

Pei Yan then said, "Why don't you go over and help Uncle Er look after her? I'll wait until Miss Yu wakes up before going over."

In other words, he will not go to the Dharma Hall until Miss Yu wakes up!

Pei Man couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

If the guests asked him, what excuse would he use to explain why the third elder of their family did not show up? And how should he answer Pei Laoan?

The third old man in their family has been a willful person since he was young. He often says, "I've thought of everything for you, what can you do?"

He replied respectfully, "Yes," and after a moment's thought, he said, "Then I'll go and tell Old An first. As for the second master, tell him that there's a letter from Suzhou Prefecture, and you need to wait a while."

Pei Man was telling Pei Yan that he was going to tell the truth to Old An, and that the guests in the Dharma Hall should just misunderstand that Pei Yan was receiving Wang Qibao's people.

This is not considered lying.

Wang Qibao did take the initiative to contact Pei Yan and invite him to have a meal at the Lotus Pond Three Treasures near the West Lake in Hangzhou in two days.

Pei Yan said “hmm”.

Pei Man felt that his life and property were finally saved, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and without daring to stand there for even a moment, he ran away.

Pei Yan was very dissatisfied and thought that Pei Man should stand for a few more minutes. Fortunately, Qing Yuan came out and reported to him: "We have washed and dressed Miss Yu again, put a tent next to Luohan's bed, and lit half a stove of soothing incense. Miss Yu is sleeping very deeply now and will not wake up for a while."

Considering Yu Tang's current situation, this arrangement is the best.

But Pei Yan was still not satisfied. He said critically, "It's not good for her to sleep too deeply. She will have to take medicine later. If she gets scared when she wakes up, that will be troublesome."

Qing Yuan immediately said, "Then I'll go put out the calming incense."

Pei Yan said: "Although she was unconscious before, she was still restless. Most likely she was having a nightmare. If you put out the calming incense, wouldn't she still be restless even if she was unconscious?"

Neither left nor right works, so what should I do?

Qing Yuan was confused.

I couldn't help but look back towards the meditation room.

Who is this Miss Yu?

Since she started serving the Third Elder, this is the first time that the Third Elder has been so worried and anxious?

Miss Yu is not the daughter of a scholar, but the heirloom of a noble family. Their Third Elder was entrusted by the noble family to take care of Miss Yu? However, even if Miss Yu is really such an identity, with their Third Elder's temper, he may not be so nervous! Or, Miss Yu's identity is more important than this...

She was speculating wildly in her mind, but she lowered her head and hands and said respectfully, "Then try to see if you can wake Miss Yu up? I think Ah Ming's medicine is almost ready."

Anyway, we have to wake him up to take medicine.

Pei Yan felt that Qing Yuan’s words made sense, but how to wake him up became a problem.

Should I apply a cold towel to Miss Yu's face? Or just push her awake? Or should I do both?

He was tangled up there.

Yu Tang in the quiet room suddenly opened his eyes.

Green gauze tent, Arhat bed carved with the eight Buddhist treasures, and the familiar scent of Buddha.

She is in the temple.

It doesn't feel like being in a temple.

She still remembered the chamber where she lived in her previous life.

The simple white cotton tent had turned yellow due to age, even after repeated washing. There was a table, a chair, a mirror stand, and no bronze mirror that should have been inlaid in the middle. The furnishings were simple and shabby. Unlike this room, there was a chicken-wing wood ivory-carved folding screen with eight hundred arhats in front of the bed in the small room.

The only thing that is the same is probably the smell that seems to have permeated the green bricks and wooden pillars.

What's wrong with her?

Yu Tang was in a trance for a moment.

She remembered that she saw Peng Shiyi, who was killed by him because she resisted fiercely.

Before she died, she saw Li Duan, whose face was filled with shock.

They didn't know why the two of them gathered in Ku'an Temple and even started arguing.

At that time, Li Duan was already an official in the capital, and logically he would not return for at least twenty years.

She already knew that the deaths of her uncle and eldest cousin were related to Li Duan. She felt that this was a rare opportunity, so she put the scissors that had been placed under the pillow in her arms, hoping to find a chance to kill Li Duan.

Who knew that she didn't find Li Duan, but met Peng Shiyi instead.

Peng Shiyi's eyes lit up when he saw her.

She saw in his eyes the surprise that was unique to a man when he saw a woman.

She turned and ran.

Peng Shiyi was just standing there. She seemed to hear Li Duan calling her. She turned around and didn't see Li Duan, but saw Peng Shiyi with a changed face. He caught up with her in two steps and asked her if her name was "Yu Tang" while pinching her neck with a sly look on his face.

She sensed Peng Shiyi's murderous intent and took out a pair of scissors and stabbed Peng Shiyi...

She failed to kill Li Duan or Peng Shiyi, but was killed by someone else instead.

Of course, she didn't know at that time that the person who killed her was the eleventh master of the Peng family, she didn't know how Li Duan found her, and she didn't know that her ability to settle in Ku'an Temple might be related to Pei Yan.
