Chapter 666: The Foot-Washing Girl Wants to Get to the Top (9)
Shi Yi motioned Sui Er to step back, and touched the young lady's chin with his fingers. He slightly opened it and saw that the mucous membrane in her mouth was stuck together, her tonsils were inflamed, and there was slight bleeding. He had a preliminary suspicion in his heart.
"What is wrong with the young lady?" Sui Er was very scared. If she had not seen it wrong before, the young lady's body was covered with red spots. She had heard from her mother before that people with red spots on their bodies would die.
"The fever is as high as 40℃, and red maculopapular rashes appear on the skin, accompanied by convulsions, coma, mucous membrane bleeding, and upper respiratory tract inflammation. This is a rash. It is highly contagious. The mortality rate of children with this disease is extremely high." Shi Yi saw Sui Er running out the door with panic on her face.
"Go back quickly to change clothes, take a hot bath, and put your clothes in the sun to dry." At the same time, Shi Yi instructed, "Don't contact people on the way back. Stay in the room for three weeks and go out only when you have no symptoms."
"What about the young lady?" Sui Er had a conscience after all, so she asked this question.
"Go home and tell the old housekeeper, but don't talk to him face to face. It's best if you are inside the door and he is outside. Ask the old housekeeper to inform the master of the news and ask him to invite a Western doctor to the mansion for the eldest lady to treat her." Shi Yi thought about it and felt it was not safe, so he added, "We also need to invite an old Chinese doctor to come and see the doctor. Double insurance may save the eldest lady's life."
Sui'er hurriedly wrote it down, "Got it." When she ran out of the door, she absent-mindedly bumped into Aunt Zhang who was rushing back with wine. Aunt Zhang was hit and almost fell down. She muttered, "What happened?"
Sui'er glanced at her, but she didn't care about the pain. She got up, clapped her hands and ran out.
"Aunt Zhang, give me the wine." Shi Yi had already prepared a clean basin. He turned around and saw her standing motionless beside him. After taking the wine from her hand, he asked, "Can you read?"
Aunt Zhang nodded belatedly, "I know a little."
"Can you write?" Shi Yi asked again.
"I know the basics." Nanny Zhang didn't understand why she was asking herself these questions.
"Go to the desk and write down the people you've come into contact with today." Shi Yi wiped the palms of the unconscious young lady's hands with a handkerchief soaked in wine, and said with some pain, "The young lady should have measles, which is highly contagious."
Nanny Zhang took a few steps back. She actually knew a little about measles, but she didn't dare to doubt it. Because no one in the mansion had ever had measles. Measles can only be transmitted through contact. She murmured, "How could it be."
"I dare not make a specific conclusion. I have asked Sui'er to go back and tell the old housekeeper, and let the old housekeeper inform the master. The specific situation still needs to wait for the doctor to come." When Shi Yi was wiping the young lady's body, he saw her frowning. Thinking that it was effective, he felt a little better.
Aunt Zhang almost fell to the ground because she couldn't stand firmly. She seemed to have figured something out and laughed in a weird way, "What a cruel heart."
When Zong Ying and his partner were about to sign the contract, the old housekeeper came to tell him the news. He said "sorry" to his partner and hurriedly told Wu'er to ask a Western doctor on the street. He and the old housekeeper took a tricycle back to the mansion.
The second wife was already waiting for him in the hall. At the same time, the first and third wives also came to the hall, waiting for his instructions.
He didn't want to see any of the wives at the moment, so he asked the old housekeeper directly, "Where is the eldest lady?"
"In the east courtyard, in Miss Shiyi's room." The old housekeeper felt the master's anxiety, and his already hunched back became even lower.
"I'll go and take a look." He raised his foot to leave, but was stopped by the old housekeeper, who advised him earnestly, "Master, you can't go. This disease is contagious."
"Yes, master, if you go, what should we do?" The third wife pulled her son into his arms and said sadly, "We are worried about the eldest lady getting this strange disease, but if you go, we will be even more worried. You are the backbone of our entire mansion."
The first wife also advised, "Master, the eldest lady is now being taken care of by Shi Yi. You also know that Shi Yi is a reassuring girl. Wasn't it she who discovered that the eldest lady was ill? You just put it aside for the time being. As for the specific situation, let's wait for the Western doctor to come and see the eldest lady, okay?"
Zong Ying looked coldly at the second wife Lan Maner, who had not said a word since he came back. She was sitting there stupidly, as if nothing had happened. Angry from his heart, he raised his hand and slapped her.
"Master..." Lan Maner covered her face and looked at him in disbelief, "The eldest lady is my own flesh and blood, shouldn't my heart hurt?"
At the same time, she wrote down the name of the girl "Shi Yi". If it weren't for Shi Yi's meddling, she wouldn't have been humiliated by the master in front of so many people.
"I don't know whether you feel heartache or not, I only know that you delayed the eldest lady's illness." When Zong Ying came back, she happened to meet the ladies who often played cards with her. It was obvious that she was busy playing cards today.
"Master, your words almost broke Maner's heart. The eldest lady is the child that Maner gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy. Is Maner's heart made of iron? How could you not love her?" The second wife covered her face and lay on the coffee table, crying loudly, but not a few drops fell on her sleeves.
She only knew her daughter had this bad disease after being tipped off by the maids in the mansion. She quickly sent away her poker friends and then changed into plain clothes to come here. She thought she could hide it, but she didn't expect to be seen through.
The first and third wives watched coldly, and they couldn't figure out whether Lan Maner was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid. This woman, having a child means she has a support in her life, and she should be good to the child. But she treats her own daughter like a stepmother, which is really incomprehensible.
"Master, the Western doctor is here." Wu'er ran in, dragging a tall, white-bearded, yellow-haired man in a black robe.
"Quick, take the Western doctor to the East Courtyard." Zong Ying said as he moved, and he had disappeared in front of everyone.
The third wife noticed his back and had other thoughts in her mind.
In this mansion, everyone said that the master didn't love the eldest daughter, but now it seems that it is not the case.
When she looked up, she happened to bump into the sight of the eldest wife. The eldest wife smiled at her, which made her confused. No matter what, it was good that her son was not in trouble. She hugged the boy at her feet tightly.
