Chapter 490 Coming to Treat Miss Fang
Du Wanchun handed the medicine she had prepared to Doctor Xu, glanced into the room, and said in a low voice, "Don't tell Master Fang and the eldest son of the Tang family about this."
Doctor Xu took the medicine and replied softly, "Yes, Manager Du."
After giving the medicine to Doctor Xu, Du Wanchun left the Fang residence.
No sooner had she left than Master Fang and Young Master Tang hurriedly came out of the house and asked Doctor Xu, "Doctor, how is my Xiaoyue's health?"
Doctor Xu sighed and said, "Miss's illness is somewhat strange. I can only say I'll do my best..."
Master Fang's expression changed drastically. "Dr. Xu, what do you mean by that? Does it mean the disease is incurable?"
Doctor Xu did not refute him, but sighed again and said, "My father has seen patients with the same symptoms as Miss Sun, and he tried many methods but failed to cure them."
Mr. Fang's face was slightly pale. "And then what happened? How did the patient become?"
Doctor Xu said slowly, "That woman later died from postpartum hemorrhage during childbirth."
Master Fang was shocked. His body trembled slightly, and he stumbled back a few steps.
"What?!"
Young Master Tang quickly helped up Master Fang and comforted him, saying, "Grandfather, don't worry, perhaps this Doctor Xu has a way to save Yue'er."
Mr. Fang clenched his fists and looked at Doctor Xu, "Doctor Xu, can you save her?"
Dr. Xu lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly said, "I can only say I'll do my best..."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Fang's vision went black, and he nearly fainted.
The eldest son of the Tang family helped him up and said, "Grandfather, why don't I take Xiaoyue back to the capital and let the doctors there take a look at her?"
Doctor Xu interrupted him, saying, "Miss Sun is due to give birth in a little over a month, so I'm afraid she can't travel any further."
A hint of joy flashed in Young Master Tang's eyes.
He kept saying he wanted to find a way to save his wife.
However, I felt incredibly gratified.
He specially brought Miss Fang's granddaughter to Cheng'an County, because Cheng'an County was a small place, and no matter how skilled the doctors there were, they couldn't compare to the imperial physicians in the palace.
The eldest patriarch of the Fang family, who was also Miss Sun's father, had originally spent a lot of money to invite imperial physicians from the palace to treat Miss Sun.
After learning of this, Young Master Tang made up an excuse that someone in Cheng'an County could save her and took her away from the capital.
Ostensibly, it was to treat her illness, but in reality, it was also out of fear that the imperial physicians could actually cure Fang Xiaoyue of the poison.
Hearing Doctor Xu say this, he was completely relieved and said to Master Fang, "Grandfather, since Doctor Xu has said so, why don't we let him try? Maybe he can really save Yue'er's life."
“What can we do now that things have come to this…” Master Fang sighed, lowered his head and waved his hand. “Fine, let Doctor Xu give it a try.”
Doctor Xu bowed and said, "Yes, Master Fang."
Old Master Fang felt sorry for his granddaughter and sat by her bedside, looking as if he had aged a lot overnight.
He held Fang Xiaoyue's hand, his voice trembling slightly, and said, "My Xiaoyue, you can't just abandon me and your father like this."
Fang Xiaoyue was able to walk a while ago, but she has gradually fallen into a coma these past few days. Hearing her grandfather's words, she slightly opened her eyes and said, "Grandfather, I'm fine... as long as I give birth to the baby, everything will be alright..."
She was young, and her weak voice even carried a hint of childishness.
Watching from the side, Doctor Xu couldn't help but feel sorry for him. He pinched the corner of his eye and accidentally saw Young Master Tang's face when he looked up.
I discovered he was actually chuckling to himself.
Yes, I'm secretly smiling.
He even knew that his wife was heavily pregnant and seriously ill, and that they could die at any moment, yet he was laughing here, without the slightest sense of guilt.
Doctor Xu felt a surge of hatred. He had seen many vicious people, but he had never seen anyone so shameless.
He slowly rose and bowed to Master Fang, saying, "Master Fang, I haven't found a cure for Miss Sun's illness yet. I'll prescribe some medicine to help her maintain her pregnancy. You can have the maids feed it to her every day."
Master Fang stood up and returned the bow, saying, "Thank you, Doctor Xu."
Doctor Xu handed the antidote and pregnancy-stabilizing medicine that Du Wanchun had just given him to Master Fang.
Master Fang is a meticulous person; any medicine he handles is guaranteed to be safe and sound.
As for Young Master Tang, seeing what Doctor Xu said earlier, he assumed that the doctor couldn't save him and was secretly pleased with himself. He also paid attention to how this medicine differed from ordinary pregnancy-preserving medicine.
Not long after Doctor Xu left, Master Fang immediately sent someone to brew the medicine for his granddaughter.
After Fang Xiaoyue took the medicine, she did not feel much better. Mr. Fang originally thought that the medicine was not suitable for her condition and had no effect. However, he remembered what Doctor Xu had said before he left. He said that the medicine must be taken for seven consecutive days without interruption.
Master Fang trusted the Zhou family completely, so he naturally trusted Doctor Xu as well, and continued to have the maids prepare the medicine for Fang Xiaoyue to take.
Young Master Tang was in a hurry to deal with the assassins and did not stay at the Fang residence for long.
"Master, Lord Zhou is accompanied by several highly skilled martial artists, so my second brother and I couldn't take action," the assassin said to Young Master Tang, clutching his injured arm.
Young Master Tang angrily threw down the teacup on the table and scolded, "You two claimed to be the most skilled assassins in the entire capital, but I didn't expect that just by sending you to kill two little kids, one of you was injured and the other died. You are truly useless."
