Chapter 1624 Solution Three
Although Patriarch Wang never asked Mrs. Wang how she wanted to solve the problem, he was not stupid. Just by looking at Mrs. Wang's attitude towards Wang Ji and his wife, he knew that they could not live under the same roof.
If we stay here any longer, someone might die.
Patriarch Wang sighed and asked Wang Ji to bring his mother back from the temple in the suburbs.
Then he went to see Mrs. Wang and said directly, "I was planning to go back to Taiyuan in two days, but seeing Rong'er like this, I don't mind staying a little longer. How do you want to resolve this matter?"
Mrs. Wang dared to act to fool others, but she didn't dare to act in front of the clan leader. So after a moment's thought, she knelt and said, "Clan leader, my family hasn't been back to Taiyuan for a long time. I want to go back to Taiyuan with you."
Patriarch Wang understood and nodded. Without asking any more questions, he stood up and said, "Take good care of Rong'er first. We'll talk about it tomorrow when everyone is together."
Mrs. Wang nodded in agreement.
Mrs. Wang escorted Patriarch Wang out the door. Wang Ji and his wife, who were waiting, immediately perked up. Patriarch Wang paused as he passed them and said, "You should also go in and check on Rong'er's injuries. See if there's any medicine in the storeroom and bring it to him."
Wang Ji agreed. After escorting Patriarch Wang to the carriage, he turned to look at Mrs. Wang. After a pause, he bowed slightly and said, "Sister-in-law, our Third House has never been as good as the First, Second, and Fifth Houses. No matter how many conflicts there are in this family, they are all family matters. When Mother returns from the temple, you can ask her to make the decision. If my brother does anything wrong, I can also point it out to you. Please put the overall situation first."
Mrs. Wang said expressionlessly, "Uncle, are you going to see Rong'er?"
Wang Ji paused for a moment and then smiled, "Then let's go and take a look."
Then he went into the house with Mrs. Wang to see Wang Rong.
When the sackcloth was lifted, Mrs. Wang took a step back in fright, then looked at Wang Ji in shock.
Wang Ji's face changed slightly. He didn't expect the appearance to be so terrifying, and he stopped talking immediately.
Mrs. Wang covered herself with the cloth, then sat by the bed, holding the handkerchief and crying softly.
A fierce look flashed in Wang Ji's eyes, but in the end he said nothing. He bowed to Mrs. Wang and turned to leave.
Mrs. Wang came to her senses, hurriedly bowed to Mrs. Wang, and hurried to chase after Wang Ji.
She chased Wang Ji past the courtyard gate and into the garden before catching up with him. She grabbed him and asked with a pale face, "Why is it so serious? Didn't the master just have him beaten with thirty boards?"
Wang Ji shook her hand off, glared at her, and said, "Tell the warehouse to send them some more medicine. You should sort out the household accounts tonight."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Mrs. Wang was very angry. She tried to please sort it out overnight, but how could she do it?
What can you figure out in one night?
Of course, nothing could be done. It was too late even to fake it. Wang Ji could have asked the people who went to pick up his mother to slow down and wait for three or two days before considering coming back, but Patriarch Wang was in a hurry to return to Taiyuan. When he left Guangdefang, he sent people out of the city to pick them up before the city gates closed.
Therefore, not long after the person Wang Ji sent to pick up the old lady left the next day, the old lady's carriage came back and happened to be blocked by Manbao who came to see the doctor.
Rong Si told Man Bao, "Master Zhou, the road ahead is blocked."
She lifted the curtain to look, and just in time saw the Wang family's gate open, and a carriage entered from the gate with the threshold removed. It took a while for the carriages blocking their way to disappear.
Then Rong Si drove the car into the alley and stopped in front of the side door.
Manbao jumped out of the car and whispered to Rong Si, "It must be the old lady from the Wang family who has returned."
Sure enough, it was the old lady of the Wang family who came back. Manbao finished examining Wang Rong, gave him an injection, fed him medicine and applied it again. Seeing that Wang Rong had woken up and only had a low fever, he nodded with satisfaction.
Just as she was about to wash her hands and leave, she heard a commotion in the yard. She turned around and saw an old lady rushing in with a group of people.
Manbao couldn't help but frown and glanced at Wang Rong, who was lying on the bed. His ears had been red since she applied the medicine on him, and he couldn't help but curl up his whole body.
She reached out and covered the still-drying buttocks with linen, then asked the maid in the room to lower the curtain, and then went out to stop the group of people, "The patient's injuries are too large. To prevent infection, we can't let so many people in."
Mrs. Wang, who caught up, breathed a sigh of relief, then stood aside with her head lowered.
Manbao smiled at the already somewhat angry old lady and said, "If you want to see it, go in. Wang Rong is awake now. The others should wait outside for a while."
Mrs. Wang didn't really want the old lady to see her, so she stepped forward, held her hand, and said, "Old lady, since Rong'er is awake, let's talk to him through the curtain. His injuries are not very good, and we won't embarrass the child."
The old lady also hesitated. Her grandson was already in his twenties, and his butt looked really bad.
Wang Rong, who was lying in the inner room, had no idea that many people had seen what happened yesterday without his knowledge, so he felt deeply that what his aunt said was right, so he lay there without daring to move or make any sound.
Mrs. Wang glanced at Madam Wang, then looked at Manbao with a worried look on her face, "Doctor Zhou, has the medicine been applied to my son's wound? Has the wound healed? Will I need to remove the flesh again?"
Manbao said, "It's not that fast, but there's no more pus and no rotten flesh, so there's no need to cut it anymore. But the patient still has a slight fever, so we'll know in two days whether the wound has healed."
After the two of them said this, the old lady, who had originally planned not to go in, pushed away Mrs. Wang's hand, lifted the curtain and went in.
After a while, a scream came from behind the curtain. Wang Rong couldn't help but call out "Grandma". Mrs. Wang glanced at Madam Wang and immediately went in to support the old lady.
The old lady held Wang Rong's hand, tears welling up in her eyes as she kept saying, "My child, you've suffered so much. How could your uncle have the heart to do this to you? How could he have the heart to do this to you..."
Manbao stepped aside and stood with Doctor Ning.
Doctor Ning lowered his voice and said to her, "Yesterday evening, the head of the Wang family came over. Although I didn't hear them talking, I guess Lord Wang is going to be in trouble today."
Unfortunately, even if they were in trouble, they could not witness the scene in person, because after Patriarch Wang arrived, except for Wang Rong lying on the bed, Grandma Wang who was taking care of him, and their son who was only a little over one year old and could not walk steadily, everyone else went to the main courtyard next door.
It's far away from this side yard. Besides, Manbao has to go back to the palace after seeing the patient. She has a lot of things to do.
So he could only look at Dr. Ning with regret and leave silently.
See you at 9pm
