"In addition to taking medicine, you also need acupuncture. I will give Tao acupuncture every two days." Yu Jiao handed the prescription to Liu Ziqi, "If Tao finds the medicine bitter, you can put a candied fruit in your mouth. Don't eat this kind of lactose, it will offset the medicinal properties."
Liu Ziqi took the prescription and gave it to his servant in the courtyard to go out and get the medicine.
The maids brought in the food. While eating, Yu Jiao told Liu Ziqi about meeting Wang Min at Wu's house. Chou Ge'er recognized Wang Min as the one who practiced cesarean section on corpses in the charity cemetery, and also mentioned that Lin Fang, who had people intercepted and killed her in Qingzhou for the Qing Nang Book, was Wang Min's apprentice.
Liu Ziqi felt relieved after hearing this. Yu Jiao was willing to tell him these things, which showed that she regarded him as an elder brother and someone she could rely on.
He served Yu Jiao a bowl of black chicken soup and said in a gentle voice, "I will have someone investigate Wang Min's matter. Don't worry. If he dares to plot against you, I will vent your anger for you."
Yu Jiao felt more at ease. She pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay."
After dinner, Yu Jiao gave Tao Ge'er acupuncture. Probably because he was raised in the eldest lady's courtyard since he was a child, the eldest lady loved Tao Ge very much, which made Tao Ge'er develop a spoiled personality. When Yu Jiao was giving him acupuncture, Tao Ge'er kept crying out in pain, his eyes were wet with grievance.
If Liu Ziqi had not restrained him, he would have jumped up from the couch long ago.
Cuizhu, who served Taoge'er personally, heard Taoge'er crying out in pain in the yard and her face turned pale with fright. However, she could not break into the eldest master's room. Although the third young lady in the mansion had just been found, the servants all knew that the eldest master doted on her very much, even better than the second young lady, his own sister.
Cuizhu was afraid that Tao'er's inappropriate words and deeds had offended the third young lady, so he was locked up in the room and punished by the eldest young master, so she hurried back to the East Garden.
"Madam Wei, something bad has happened. Please go and see Brother Tao." Cuizhu shouted anxiously as she returned to the eldest lady's courtyard.
Nanny Wei, who had just helped Madam Liu lie down in the room, hurried out upon hearing the noise and scolded in a low voice, "Why are you yelling so loudly? Aren't you afraid of disturbing Madam's nap?"
Cuizhu was extremely anxious, "Brother Tao is in trouble."
"Brother Tao went to the eldest young master's courtyard, what could happen?" Although Nanny Wei said this, her face changed.
Cuizhu said hurriedly, "It was fine during the meal. Just now I suddenly heard Tao Ge'er crying out in pain from the eldest young master's room, and the eldest young master's voice of reproach. I dare not force my way into the eldest young master's room, please go and take a look."
Just as Wei Ma was about to leave the courtyard, Madam Liu's voice suddenly came from inside the room, "I'll go over and take a look."
Nanny Wei turned around and saw that Madam Liu was barefoot and only wearing a middle-length dress. She must have been woken up by Cuizhu, the reckless maid, so she got out of bed directly.
She went into the room and took shoes and socks from the bedside for Madam Liu to put on. "Madam, even if you care about Tao'er, you shouldn't take your body lightly. What if you catch a cold?"
Nanny Wei took out a purple floral jacket from the cupboard and helped Madam Liu put on her clothes, saying, "The eldest master has always doted on Brother Tao. Don't listen to Cuizhu's nonsense. Maybe there is some misunderstanding."
Madam Liu walked out of the courtyard and asked Cuizhu, "You mean you heard the eldest master punishing Tao Ge'er and beating him until he cried?"
Cuizhu didn't see it with her own eyes after all, so she didn't dare to make up stories. She lowered her head and said, "I heard Tao Ge'er crying out in pain outside the room, and occasionally I heard the eldest master scolding him. As for whether he was scolding Tao Ge'er, I don't know. I was worried about Tao Ge'er, so I didn't dare to force my way into the eldest master's room, so I thought of coming back to tell Madam Wei and ask her to go over and take a look."
She paused, then added, "The Third Miss also had lunch at Fufeng Pavilion, and is now in the eldest master's room."
Mrs. Liu's expression changed slightly and she walked a little faster.
Tao Ge'er's intelligence is not as good as that of ordinary people. Madam Liu knows how disgusting fools are. Not to mention others, even the girl Yaoyu has always looked down on Tao Ge'er and disliked him for being stupid.
Over the years, she had not dared to let Tao Ge'er leave the house, for fear that he would be bullied outside. With her protection in the house, no one in the house dared to treat him badly.
Liu Ziqi naturally didn't dare to treat Taoge'er badly, as Taoge'er had never gotten into any trouble in his courtyard. She wanted to go and see how Taoge'er had offended the third girl and had Liu Ziqi join in punishing Taoge'er.
Madam Liu walked away very quickly. Seeing that her face was becoming increasingly ugly, Nanny Wei did not dare to say anything more.
After entering Fufeng Pavilion, Madam Liu went straight to Liu Ziqi's house, and didn't even bother to pass on the message to the servants in the yard.
Before she reached the door of the house, Mrs. Liu heard Tao'er screaming in pain. She became even angrier and raised her hand to push the door.
Then I heard a soft voice inside, "Acupuncture is like an ant bite. Children cry when they are bitten by ants. Brother Tao is a grown man, you can't be so squeamish!"
Tao Ge'er's voice with a strong nasal tone came out, "Third sister, Tao Ge'er didn't cry. Is Tao Ge'er a man now?"
"Yes, after acupuncture, you won't have epilepsy in the future. Just think about how uncomfortable it is when you have epilepsy. Now, being bitten by an ant is nothing, right?" The clear female voice in the room said softly.
Mrs. Liu paused as she pushed the door open, and suddenly felt that her aggressive look was quite hateful.
