Chapter 511 Old Madam Yan Coughs Up Blood
The situation was urgent, and Song Yuntang had no time to explain to these women. Seeing that the nanny beside Yuanshi was still hesitating, he hurriedly shouted, "Xia Ning, come and help!"
"yes!"
Xia Ning responded and quickly helped Yuanshi up and let her lie on Song Yuntang's legs.
Seeing this, Tang Wanhua did not ask the servants to stop it.
Lord Yan is a sentimental man.
This can be seen from the fact that he did not remarry or take a concubine five years after his wife died of illness.
Old Madam Yan was the only elder he had in this world, and the whole capital knew that he valued filial piety.
In her opinion, if Yuan was lucky enough to survive today, it would be fine. If she died in the prime minister's residence, Song Yuntang would be the primary person responsible for meddling in other people's affairs.
That is, she is stupid.
Think you are the savior.
Looking at Old Madam Yan's situation, anyone who gets involved at this time would be in a thankless task.
Song Yuntang patted Yuan's back vigorously and said, "Madam Yan, just cough up the blood and you'll be fine."
The people around didn't dare to step forward, and some even had a gloating look on their faces.
After a while, Yuan Shi spit out two large mouthfuls of blood, and the people present were so frightened that they stepped back again.
"Mrs. Xu, please stop it!"
"You are killing people!"
"What grudge does Old Madam Yan have against you that would allow you to abuse her like this?"
…
Song Yuntang ignored the shouting women. After seeing Yuan spit out the blood that was stuck in her chest, he helped her sit up.
At this time, Yuan's cough had stopped and she gradually recovered.
Yuan's nanny was wiping the blood from the corner of her lips.
"Ma'am? How are you?"
Yuan waved her hands weakly, and after a long while she spoke slowly.
"I'm much better now. Thank you, Madam Xu, for your help."
Just now she only felt a strong sense of suffocation and thought she was going to die.
If it weren't for Madam Xu's blows that forced her to spit out the blood that was blocked in her chest, she would probably have suffocated to death by now.
Coincidentally, at this moment, the official physician from the Prime Minister's residence arrived.
After he felt Madam Yan's pulse, he clasped his fists in the direction of Tang Wanhua and said, "Madam, Madam Yan may have suffocated due to blood congestion in her chest. She is fine now. As for her old illness, she has to take good care of it after returning home."
After hearing this, the nanny immediately knelt down towards Song Yuntang and kowtowed three times.
"Thank you, Madam Xu, for saving my old lady."
The ladies in the hall and the young men who rushed over after hearing the noise all had expressions of shock when they looked at Song Yuntang.
I didn't expect that she was not blindly causing trouble just now, but was really trying to find a way to save people.
But how could she determine so quickly what was wrong with Madam Yan?
Is it just luck?
If this is true, then she is really lucky. After all her efforts, she has finally earned the favor of a third-rank official in the court.
"You're welcome, Mammy."
Song Yuntang stood up from the ground and reached out to help her up.
"If my estimate is correct, Madam Yan's cough should have lasted for half a year, right?"
At first, I just saw that her face didn't look very good, and I could occasionally hear her coughing, so I couldn't be sure of her condition.
Now, after going through this process, I finally understood what her problem was.
The nanny was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "It has indeed been half a year."
Originally, the old lady didn't want to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion today, but the masters felt that she had been recuperating at home for the past six months and were worried that she would get suffocated, so they asked her to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion for a walk and meet more people. Perhaps her mood would improve and her condition would be better.
Who could have thought that his condition would suddenly become serious after coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Song Yuntang nodded.
"Madam Yan is ill and should not drink alcohol. She should eat light food. In this situation, it is better to take her back to see a doctor as soon as possible to avoid catching a cold and making her condition worse. If the doctor outside does not improve her condition, Lord Yan and Madam Yan can send someone to find me at the Xu Mansion if they trust me."
The nanny didn't dare to look down on her anymore.
"Thank you, Madam Xu."
After saying that, he quickly asked someone to help Old Madam Yan up, and took a cloak from the side and put it on her.
Just then, the butler drew aside the curtain and entered the hall.
"Madam, Lord Xu is here. He said he is here to take Madam Xu home."
Hearing that Xu Qingye was coming, Song Yuntang was delighted, and she nodded slightly in the direction of Tang Wanhua.
"Madam Zhuang, since my husband is here to pick me up, I will not bother you any more today. Goodbye."
After what happened to Old Madam Yan, the guests no longer had the appetite to continue eating and drinking, and hurriedly stood up to say goodbye to Tang Wanhua.
Tang Wanhua led Zhuang Zihan to stand up and see them off.
"I'm sorry for being so inconsiderate today. I'll invite all the ladies to come to my house to enjoy the flowers tomorrow when the spring flowers bloom."
The ladies smiled and said, "We will definitely come then."
It was cold outside the hall and everyone wrapped themselves tightly in cloaks.
Because of her poor health, Old Madam Yan was the first to be helped out of the Prime Minister's Residence, and the next person to come out behind Old Madam Yan was Song Yuntang.
Nanny Xu, who was beside Old Madam Yan, bowed to Song Yuntang and helped Old Madam Yan into the carriage.
When Song Yuntang came out of the prime minister's residence, she immediately saw Xu Qingye and Gui Ping standing beside their carriage waiting for her.
The man was tall and straight, wearing a dark green official uniform, which made him look more stable.
He just stood there quietly, like a scene in the wind and snow, and she could not take her eyes away.
She nodded to Aunt Xu and walked towards Xu Qingye with a smile on her face.
"Have you finished your work at the palace?"
When Song Yuntang looked at Xu Qingye, Xu Qingye was also looking at her. When he first saw her coming out of the prime minister's residence, a look of surprise suddenly flashed in his deep eyes. Then, when he saw the few blood stains on her skirt, his eyes couldn't help but look in the direction of Old Madam Yan. Recalling the attitude of the nanny towards his wife just now, he immediately understood.
"I'm done." Then he asked, "How is everything in the Prime Minister's Residence today?"
Song Yuntang smiled.
"Everything is fine."
Although I was in trouble, I was not really bullied.
Xu Qingye was already busy enough in the Hanlin Academy, so there was really no need to bother him by bringing up such a minor incident in the Prime Minister's Residence.
The man glanced in her direction, said nothing, and reached out to hold her arm.
"Let's go home first."
"good."
With his support, Song Yuntang was about to lift her legs to get into the carriage when she suddenly felt dizzy, causing her movements to pause for a moment.
Fortunately, the dizziness was not severe and I recovered quickly.
I had breakfast early today. After arriving at the Prime Minister's Mansion, I didn't eat anything at first, and then I only drank a few cups of tea. Afterwards, I spent a lot of effort to save Old Madam Yan. The reaction just now should be hypoglycemia. I will be fine after eating something later.
It’s not a big problem.
Xu Qingye noticed her subtle changes, his brows slightly furrowed, and worry flashed in his eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Song Yuntang smiled and shook her head, lifting her skirt and continuing to climb onto the carriage.
"It's all right. Is there anything to eat in the carriage?"
The man hummed.
"When I passed Qingfeng Alley, I stopped for a while and bought you a portion of steamed jade pastry at the entrance of the alley."
Song Yuntang suddenly became interested.
"I've never heard of this pastry before. I have to try it."
Xu Qingye smiled gently.
"Eat it. It's still warm from the hot water bottle."
