Chapter 1620: Across the Air
"One said he was busy with government affairs, and the other said he was sick and had no time. Now one of you is not busy, and the other has recovered from his illness, right?"
She wasn't afraid of being overheard at all, and she shouted even louder, "You don't feel any pain if the stick isn't hitting your own son. What's this about trampling on the seedlings? Bullshit! Who is implicated by whom? Who doesn't know what's going on?"
Then he covered his face and burst into tears, crying loudly: "My poor Rong'er, this spring, I was riding my horse by the roadside and the horse stumbled and trampled on a few rice seedlings. The farmer who was planting rice dropped two seedlings and you went down to replace them. You said you wanted compensation, but the farmer laughed at you for being a rich man who didn't know how to be frugal. You even wanted to pay compensation for just two seedlings. As a result, now the seedlings have turned into millet and need to be harvested, and you are impeached for trampling on the seedlings..."
She stretched her neck and shouted towards the courtyard over there, "Who offended someone in the court that had them bribe people to falsely accuse my son! Instead of seeking justice for him, you used him as a scapegoat. I accepted your beatings and humiliations. It's his fault that he lost his father so early and had to rely on his uncle and aunt for a living, but you shouldn't have planned to kill him. You clearly said you would beat him with a stick, but you ended up hitting him with a stick as big as the imperial cane. You were deliberately trying to kill him. Do you think his death would satisfy your wishes? And you'll get praise for sacrificing your relatives for the sake of justice!"
The nanny heard these words just after passing the courtyard gate. She couldn't help but turn around to stop them, but was firmly held back by Grandma Wang's maid. Grandma Wang also pushed her over, crying as she pushed, "Nanny, please be more forgiving. My husband's entire back is broken. He has been unconscious since last night and hasn't woken up yet. I have been up all night with him. This is my only son. My husband's injury is like digging out her heart and liver..."
"That's not nonsense..."
"Let's wait until my husband wakes up before we discuss anything. Now that we don't know whether he's dead or alive, it won't work for you and your mother-in-law to reason with us. As a mother, who wouldn't want to think about their child?"
This sentence made the nanny's face change drastically. She looked at Grandma Wang for a while, then pushed the maid away, turned around and left.
After she walked away, Grandma Wang wiped her tears, turned around with the maid, and locked the gate of the courtyard.
The news here soon spread to the main courtyard and the study.
Wang Ji hadn't expected the situation to get any worse. He couldn't help but stand up, turned around, and asked, "Didn't you send someone over? Why did you bring up so many questions?"
Mrs. Wang closed her eyes and said, "Master, please ask Dr. Chen to come first."
Wang Ji's face turned grim. After a moment, he said, "I've already sent someone to invite him. I just don't know if he's on duty today. If he is, we'll have to wait a little longer."
"We can wait, but I'm afraid they can't." Madam Wang couldn't help but complain, "Master has been too cruel this time. This is my only son. If something happens..."
Wang Ji's face turned pale and he was speechless. How could he have known that Wang Rong was so useless? He just fought a battle to torture himself but couldn't survive?
But he was indeed furious at the time. He sighed and said, "It's too late to say anything now. Wang Da, that bastard, actually knelt directly at the gate of the East Palace. This is simply a heartbreaking act."
Madam Wang also sighed, "We'll settle this account after Wang Rong gets better. But Rong'er has always looked up to his half-brother, so I'm afraid he won't agree by then."
"Let him do it? This is the Wang family, and we have to consider the overall situation."
Manbao and Doctor Ding were in the room listening to Mrs. Wang scolding others with great interest, revealing all the secrets of the Wang family.
Wang Da stood obediently by the side. When her stepmother was tired of scolding her, she went forward and helped her sit down in the side room to rest. Aunt Tian, Wang Da's biological mother, immediately poured her some tea to moisten her mouth, and then said softly, "Send the medicine in to Doctor Zhou and the others."
Mrs. Wang nodded, wiped the tears from her face, and said to Tian, "Please pack a large gift bag. We will send Doctor Zhou off later."
Aunt Tian agreed and turned around and left immediately.
Only mother and son were left in the room. Mrs. Wang then asked Wang Da, "How did you ask the prince for help?"
Wang Da whispered, "Son, just say that the prince saved my brother's life, and we brothers will die for him in the future. Even if my brother... the prince will have a good reputation for being kind, so why not do it? After hearing this, the prince agreed."
Mrs. Wang breathed a sigh of relief, patted Wang Da's hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not difficult, mother. I ordered Dr. Zhou as you instructed. But is she really capable?"
Mrs. Wang couldn't hold back her tears again. She pressed her hand against the corner of her eye and said, "We can only give it a try. Don't look at her young age, she's a famous doctor. She not only cured the Crown Prince, but also treated the Empress and the Emperor. When His Majesty was so seriously ill before, even your uncle secretly prepared sackcloth, and he was still saved, wasn't he?"
She said, "If I can even cure His Majesty's serious illness, your elder brother... should be able to do it too, right?"
Mrs. Wang herself was not very confident because her son's injuries looked too horrific.
She had raised him for more than twenty years and had never let him suffer such a severe punishment. When he was a child, he didn't like studying, and the harshest she had done was to hit his palms a few times. Why did she have the right to hit him with a board as big as a court cane?
Mrs. Wang wiped away her tears, adjusted her facial expression, and went to the main courtyard to see her son with a sad look on her face.
It is very difficult to heal injuries in the summer, especially large-area injuries. It requires a very clean environment and very careful care.
Manbao had taught Zheng Gu all these things, and at this time Zheng Gu was instructing the servants of the Wang family on how to take care of them.
Manbao gave the man a series of acupuncture treatments to speed up the effects of the medicine. Half an hour later, Wang Rong's fever subsided. Satisfied that the medicine was effective, Manbao wrote another prescription for the family, saying, "This is a decoction for internal use. Wait an hour before taking Jishitang's Panax notoginseng powder with warm water. It's used to stop bleeding."
Jishidiang’s Panax notoginseng paste and powder are not made of Panax notoginseng alone, they are just called that. They also contain other medicinal materials. The medicinal materials used are not cheap, especially Panax notoginseng, which needs to be brought from Lingnan, so it is very expensive.
Only the Wang family, who are not short of money, can use it in such large quantities, but it is not good to use too much of this thing, so Manbao set a quantity for them.
She stayed at Wang's house until the afternoon. Wang Rong finally woke up. After taking his pulse, she said to Mrs. Wang, "Let's stop here for today. The external injuries have been treated. Let a doctor stay to watch over him."
Mrs. Wang hurriedly sent Manbao out personally. Just as she got on the carriage, there was a knock on the gate of the main courtyard. It turned out that they had invited Doctor Chen.
