Chapter 556 Resolutely decided to attend the banquet
Zhao had mixed feelings. She looked at her daughter who had not yet reached the age of marriage, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions.
How is this different from knowing there is a tiger in the mountain but still going there? And she watched her own daughter fall into the tiger's mouth with her own eyes?
"Rou'er, get up quickly. You're not feeling well, and the ground is cold."
Zhao pulled Wan Yirou up from the ground.
"Mother knows your painstaking efforts, but how can mother be willing to gamble with your life?"
Zhao's eyes were filled with heartache.
Wan Yirou said firmly, "Mother, please believe me. I am not as weak as you think. I will definitely get out of this danger. This is related to the life and death of our Duke's Mansion. We must find out who is behind this. We finally got some clues this time. Even if Chen Wan deliberately seduced me, I will go. I bet Chen Wan really knows something, because her eyes can't lie."
Zhao did not see the changes in Chen Wan's face, so she didn't know what kind of person Chen Wan was. However, Wan Yirou faced Chen Wan's two faces and knew them very clearly. Her intuition told her that what Chen Wan said might be true.
"And, mother, if Chen Wan really seeks help from our Duke's Mansion, I believe she will help me tomorrow. Otherwise, why would she negotiate with us?"
Wan Yirou felt that Chen Wan was not a simple person, and there might be a good show to watch tomorrow.
"Since you have made up your mind, I will let you do as you please, but you have to take Hongmei with you."
Wan Yirou did not refuse this time. Hongmei was specially found by Wan Xingmo to protect the Zhao family. She was very skilled in martial arts and if there was any emergency, Hongmei could help Wan Yirou escape.
Seeing that her daughter did not reject her arrangement, Zhao was relieved.
"Mom, it's nothing. I'll go back first. I still have some things to prepare. By the way, I went to the Treasure Pavilion today and bought some jewelry. Have you seen them? Some of them are for Grandma Wan and Second Aunt Wan, and one is for you. This is Master Ji's new product this year. I think it's pretty good."
"I've seen it, it's really good. You've thought it through very thoughtfully. It's amazing that you're so thoughtful." Zhao praised with a smile.
"Fubao, you can't spread what Aunt and Sister Rou said just now, understand?"
"Don't worry, Auntie. Fubao knows. Fubao is very tight-lipped and won't say anything. Besides, Fubao will also go to the banquet tomorrow. Fubao wants to protect Sister Rou."
Zhao originally wanted Wan Yirou to take Fubao to the plum blossom viewing banquet to broaden Fubao's horizons, but given the current situation, it might not be appropriate to take Fubao with her. If something really happened or Fubao got into trouble, she would not be able to explain to the Wan family.
"Fubao, can your aunt take you to buy nice clothes tomorrow? We won't go with your sister Rou." Zhao coaxed Fubao.
"No, Fubao wants to go. Fubao wants to protect Sister Rou." Fubao's little face was firm and he was unwilling to go no matter what.
"Besides, Fubao is going to have a delicious banquet."
"But we also have delicious food in our house. Can I ask the cook to prepare whatever you want to eat?"
"No, no, Fubao wants to eat at the palace. Fubao has never eaten at a banquet at the palace."
Zhao didn’t know how to coax Fubao, which really gave her a headache.
"Aunt, don't worry, I will be fine. I will definitely bring Sister Rou back safely."
Fubao patted his chest and made the promise.
Zhao was a little amused and helpless, but finally she couldn't persuade Fubao, so she could only ask the servants to keep a close eye on him tomorrow. If that didn't work, she should bring Fubao back first.
Fubao and Wan Yirou returned to Zhuying Cottage and immediately took a pen to write down what they wanted to buy and gave it to Qingmei.
"Sister Qingmei, can you help me buy the things above?"
Fubao handed the list to Qingmei and turned to look at Wan Yirou.
"Sister Rou, can you lend me some silver? My silver must be with my father. Can I ask my father for it and return it to you?"
Wan Yirou was deeply moved. Fubao was so determined to protect her just now, and she knew that this was Fubao's sincere words.
"Sister Fubao, I have some money here, you can spend as much as you want. I gave all my money to Qingmei for safekeeping, so you don't have to worry about the money. Let her go shopping quickly, otherwise the store will be closed soon."
Although Fubao wanted to argue, when she heard that the shop was about to close, she immediately urged Qingmei to hurry up. However, even if she bought the things, she probably wouldn't be able to deliver them today, and she had to attend a banquet tomorrow. It seemed that she could only wait until she came back tomorrow to deliver them.
By this time, the sky was gradually getting dark, but Lady Weiyuan Hou had not waited for Fubao to deliver the ointment. She couldn't help but wonder if this little doctor was too playful and forgot about the ointment?
If that's the case, how should she go to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to find someone?
Going to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is different from going to an inn. You have to send an invitation and you can't just show up.
However, Li Ruiyang and Zhao had a good relationship. After all, both families were noble ladies in the capital. If Li Ruiyang had come to visit, it would have been understandable. However, Li Ruiyang's face was ruined and he could not see anyone. The wife of Marquis Weiyuan was an elder, so it was a bit unreasonable for her to suddenly visit Zhao.
After much deliberation, the wife of Marquis Weiyuan decided to send someone to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to inquire about the situation.
Fubao had already received the various medicinal herbs that Qingmei had bought, and she was currently boiling them.
"Sister Fubao, are you really a little doctor?"
Wan Yirou squatted beside Fubao curiously, watching her waving a small fan and fanning the small stove.
"Of course, I never lie to good people, and you are my sister Rou, how could I lie to you?"
Wan Yirou now truly believed that Fubao knew medical skills.
"Then can you help me take a look?"
Wan Yirou stretched out her white wrist and placed it in front of Fubao.
Fubao handed the small fan in his hand to Qingmei.
"Sister Qingmei, please help me watch the fire."
Qingmei took over Fubao's position. Fubao brought Wan Yirou into the room and sat down, carefully taking her pulse.
After a long while, Fubao said, "Sister Rou, do you often have palpitations? Eat less, have many dreams, sweat, and feel light-headed?"
Wan Yirou covered her mouth in surprise and looked at Fubao nodding blankly.
"Sister Fubao, you are right. Are your medical skills so good?"
Wan Yirou was very shocked by Fu Bao's medical skills. Although many doctors could diagnose Wan Yirou's symptoms, how old was Fu Bao? How could he compare with those old doctors?
"It's not bad. I've been feeling pulses a lot along the way and have accumulated some experience. Your pulse is sometimes strong and sometimes weak, sometimes fast and sometimes slow. You have palpitations. You look sick, and you walk like a willow in the wind. It should be that your spleen and stomach are out of harmony due to qi deficiency. Naturally, your appetite will not be good, and your body will become sick."
"So Sister Fubao has noticed that I'm not feeling well since early morning?"
Wan Yirou suddenly realized.
"Of course, doctors focus on observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation. I'm used to it. When I see someone who is not in good health, I will first make a rough guess in my mind. When I feel her pulse, I can find out the cause of the disease based on the pulse. But Sister Rou, your disease cannot be cured. This should be the root cause of your exile. And the root of your insomnia and nightmares lies in your heart. You are always worried about gains and losses. You need to slowly adjust your mentality. Don't worry too much."
Fubao's explanation sounded very concise and to the point, and was closer to the cause of her illness than what the doctors said. Wan Yirou couldn't help but look at Fubao with admiration.
