Chapter 679 Master Ji Er
All the herbs on the prescription were found and examined by the doctors one by one. After confirming that they were correct, they began to make ointments and juices...
Doctor Ji deduced the acupuncture method and then gave Ji Hao acupuncture.
Just as the needle was inserted, Old Madam Ji and Second Madam Ji came to the yard with a middle-aged man. Knowing that the room where Ji Hao was lying needed to be cleaned, only the three of them and the old nanny entered the room together.
Ji Xiang quickly walked to the bedside, took a look at his youngest son, and almost burst into tears.
Doctor Ji was giving acupuncture. Since he knew he was coming, he was not surprised or panicked. He nodded slightly and continued to give acupuncture.
Ji Xiang waited until he finished the acupuncture before asking, "Doctor Ji, this is..."
"The fever has gone down."
Ji Xiang's heart tightened for a moment, and he asked, "Is it still burning?"
Doctor Ji nodded. "It went down a bit, but it quickly rose again."
"I heard from my mother that you guys have a new prescription. How confident are you that it works?"
Doctor Ji sighed and said, "The young master is too seriously injured. No matter how good the prescription is, the success rate is not high. He still hasn't woken up, and his fever hasn't subsided..."
Ji Xiang didn't want to hear this and asked impatiently, "Just tell me how confident you are."
Doctor Ji frowned slightly and said, "It's only a few percent more certain than before."
Ji Xiang's face looked very unhappy. He lowered his head to look at his son again, then turned around and helped his mother to leave.
Madam Ji glared at him secretly and comforted Doctor Ji, "Thank you for your concern. He has been traveling so long to get home, and we haven't taken good care of the child. He is angry with us, not you."
Ji Xiang was helpless, "Mother, how dare I..."
Madam Ji glared at him secretly, then helped him out by the hand. After leaving the yard, she scolded him in a low voice, "Your son's life is still in someone else's hands. Why are you so angry at the doctor?"
"The child didn't..."
"You haven't?" Madam Ji said bluntly, "You haven't even finished yet, even after your face is so pale. They have done their best over the past four days, and I have seen it all."
Madam Ji wiped her tears and said, "You didn't see it at the time. Your son's stomach was full of blood. Doctor Fan and Doctor Ji used the knife to cut out a lot of things from inside. At that time, I felt that Hao'er would have a hard time surviving. I don't hate them, I only hate Ying Wenhai and the Ying family. How cruel they are to torture my child like this."
Ji Xiang's face turned ugly. He glared at Madam Ji Er and said angrily, "I punished my son during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but you spoiled him. Now look, he's caused a big disaster, right?"
Mrs. Ji lowered her head and wiped her tears.
Madam Ji was unhappy and said with a stern face, "Are you talking about your wife or me? I was the one who let him out during the Mid-Autumn Festival. He had a wound on his chest, and you still locked him up and punished him. Do you want to kill him?"
Then he said angrily, "At that time, I said that we should conduct a thorough investigation and find the person who scratched him and punish him severely, but you didn't pay attention. Now look, your son has lost his life."
Madam Ji became angrier and angrier as she spoke. "I've learned everything clearly. It was Ying Wenhai who instigated the injury. If he had been found out and severely punished, perhaps nothing would have happened now."
Madam Ji wiped her tears and said, "It's rare for us to see each other all year round. It's not easy for us to go home and see each other during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but you only know how to punish him and even send him to live in the government school. Is this how you should be as a father? Is this how your father taught you when you were young?"
Now Ji Xiang lowered his head and dared not speak, but when he was his son's age, he seemed to be studying alone away from home. At that time, he would never do anything to make his father angry.
Arriving at the front hall, Madam Ji finally calmed down, wiped away her tears and said, "You're back just in time. These past few days, my mind has been on Hao'er, and I haven't paid much attention to the outside world. However, I know that the Ying family has been making moves. Not only the witnesses who saw it pass by, but even Doctor Ji's family has received a generous gift. I don't need to tell you what the Ying family is planning, right?"
Ji Xiang nodded grimly and asked, "Didn't the Ying family come to apologize?"
Madam Ji's eyes grew stern as she stared at him and said, "So what if they're here? I'll have them all kicked out. I'm telling you, Ji Xiang, I don't care how you and your father weigh the pros and cons. Listen to me, if Hao'er survives unscathed, then I'll let you handle it. But if Hao'er...if anything happens to him, I'll have Ying Wenhai pay for his life..."
Mrs. Ji burst into tears when she said this, wiping her tears and saying, "Our Hao'er is such a good and well-behaved child. He was so happy when he went out that morning, and he specially wore a new set of clothes to show me. But as soon as he left the house, he turned into this. This is tearing my heart out."
Ji Xiang opened his mouth, then nodded with a grim expression, "I understand, mother. I'll wash up and go find Magistrate Tang."
After saying that, he stood up and looked at Madam Ji Er.
Old Madam Ji nodded to Second Madam Ji and asked her to serve.
The couple bowed and left. Ji Xiang waited until they returned to their courtyard before waving his hand to dismiss the servants. He said to Madam Ji Er, "You should also try to persuade Mother."
Madam Ji took a towel and soaked it in water, wanting to help him wash up. Upon hearing this, she said, "I have always advised mother, but you also know that mother has always loved Hao'er the most. How can mother not be sad when Hao'er is like this now?"
Ji Xiang sighed and said, "Why don't you understand? I'm trying to persuade Mother to be more open-minded and not to confront the Ying family head-on."
Madam Ji was stunned for a moment and looked up at him, "What do you mean? Your son is injured like this, how can you just go head-to-head?"
Ji Xiang said, "Behind the Ying family stands the Yizhou Palace. Do you think it's possible to ask Ying Wenhai to pay with his life?"
Ji Xiang was the Chief Justice of Dali and was very familiar with the law. He said, "Even if there was no Yizhou Palace, it would be impossible to sentence Ying Wenhai to death in Hao'er's case. The most he could do is exile."
And with the Yizhou Palace still there, I'm afraid even exile cannot be sentenced.
Mrs. Ji was stunned, and it took her a while to react. She was still holding a wet towel in her hand. In anger, she threw the towel directly at his face and said angrily: "Ji Xiang, you dare to use my son as a favor to try to get me to do you a favor? I, I will take my son back to my mother's house and let his grandfather make the decision for him!"
After saying that, she covered her face and ran away crying.
Ji Xiang was caught off guard and was hit in the face by the wet towel. When he came to his senses, his wife had already run away.
He immediately exploded with rage, threw the towel into the basin, and said angrily: "Unteachable, unteachable, really unteachable, you are the one who corrupted the child."
As soon as Mrs. Ji Er ran out of the yard, Mrs. Ji Lao knew about it.
She sneered and said to the maid who came to report, "Go, help the Second Madam to the Young Master's yard and let her guard the Young Master. She doesn't care about her husband now. Only her son can be relied on. No, even her son can't be relied on."
