Chapter 156 Heartbroken



"Ginger and sugar water is fine." Doctor Han twisted his beard and nodded gently, then said to Duan Tingxuan: "My Lord, my brother is weak right now, I will give him acupuncture to activate his blood circulation. In addition, please prepare some ginseng slices, they don't have to be big, just the size of a copper coin will do."

"I understand. Thank you, Doctor Han." Duan Tingxuan nodded and immediately ordered someone to prepare it. Xu Ranyun also said quickly, "I have a hundred-year-old mountain ginseng in my room. Our wife asked someone to bring it over the other day. I'll have someone cut it into slices and bring it over."

"Thank you, Grandma Yun." Aunt Jiang wiped her tears and thanked her. Xu Ranyun patted her hands and said softly, "We are family, why are you saying these polite words? Now that I am here, you have a backbone. Go wash up quickly. I am here, nothing will go wrong."

Honglian and Xiangyun were so angry that they really wanted to step forward and grab the woman who still made innuendos at this time and ask: What do you mean by "I am here to be infallible"? Our grandmother's skirt was soiled like that for Master Chuan, and she didn't say a word. She took the blame and made Brother Chuan vomit. You still say such things, do you have a conscience?

However, they were just maids, and the imperial physician and Doctor Liao were still in the room. Even if they were furious, they couldn't really question Xu Ranyun. Xiangyun couldn't help but glance at Duan Tingxuan, but saw that the young marquis and Su Nuannuan were both by the bed, nervously watching Imperial Physician Han giving acupuncture to Duan Maochuan, and no one noticed what Xu Ranyun said.

Looking at Aunt Jiang again, she thanked Xu Ranyun profusely and sent him to the door. Then she turned around and glared at Su Nuannuan angrily, as if she wanted to eat her. The two girls were angry and sighed in their hearts, thinking that you are so stupid that you can't even tell good from bad. Can't you see with your eyes? Who really cares about Chuan Ge'er? Who is pretending to be kind and trying to sow discord?

Thinking of this, she felt even more sorry for Su Nuannuan. Honglian said with tears in her eyes, "Grandma, Master Chuan is being taken care of by me now, so you should go change your skirt first and wash up."

After she said that, Duan Tingxuan turned around and saw that Su Nuannuan's skirt was indeed dirty, so he held her hand and said gently, "Go ahead. Go and clean it up. I'm here, don't worry, Chuan Ge'er will be fine. He is my son, how can a little cold kill him? Those ice creams are not eaten in vain."

Su Nuannuan nodded. In this short period of time, she was so nervous that her heart was in her throat. Now that she relaxed a little, she felt a little tired. So she let Honglian Xiangyun help her out of Xia Yuxuan.

"Grandma, the road is slippery, please be careful." Seeing her grandma was in a daze, Honglian couldn't help crying. She choked and said, "Grandma, why did you bother to do this? Didn't you see what Aunt Jiang looked like? She just insisted on inducing vomiting in Chuan'er. Grandma, this is not a clinic. This is the backyard of the Marquis's mansion. What kind of intrigues are there? The least valuable thing is kindness. If Chuan'er doesn't survive today, no one will care whether you are kind or not. Aunt Jiang and Grandma Yun will use this as evidence of your crime of harming Master Chuan. Grandma, why did you do this? You are kind-hearted and want to earn a lot..."

"I know. I know everything you said." Su Nuannuan sighed. Feeling Honglian's cold little hand, she squeezed it tightly and said softly, "It's just that Chuan Ge'er is lying there. He is such a cute little guy. He used to lie on me and call me auntie. Now... his life or death is uncertain. How can I still have the mind to think about other things? To weigh the pros and cons? I just want to save him. He is just a child. He is only four years old. There are so many beautiful things in this world that he has not experienced. How can I bear to let him go like this? If I don't have the ability, I can only worry and feel uncomfortable, and there is nothing I can do. But now that I know, maybe someone is taking advantage of the situation to harm him, how can I just watch him to avoid suspicion..."

At this point, she couldn't help but burst into tears. Since she traveled through time, she had never been so heartbroken. Even when she was struggling in Meiyue Tower, even when she was on the verge of life and death in Pushan Temple, she was always so positive and optimistic. She didn't even shed a single tear, let alone cry. Now she suddenly lost her composure, which showed that she was really heartbroken.

Honglian Xiangyun was startled, and quickly wiped her tears and comforted her: "Don't be sad, Grandma, Master Chuan is a lucky man, nothing will happen to him. Let's go back and pack up, and then come back to see him. With Doctor Han here, nothing will happen to him."

Su Nuannuan nodded, her tears instantly froze on her face, she reached out and wiped them away, and said softly, "Let's go."

"Doctor Han said that Chuan'er's condition has stabilized, fortunately the medicine was used in time. I think when he said this, he looked at you, probably to say that you induced vomiting in time. I don't know if this is my illusion?"

As dusk approached, Aunt Jiang, who had been in a state of emotional ups and downs for the day, finally could no longer bear it and was taken away by Xu Ranyun to rest. Duan Tingxuan and Su Nuannuan were the only ones left in the wing room, sitting by Duan Maochuan's bed. Seeing the little guy regain some life on his face, the couple finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Duan Tingxuan was in the mood to sort out the matter. The first thing that jumped into his mind was this doubt.

"Maybe it's an illusion. I was desperate at the time and tried all kinds of treatments. How could they be effective?" Su Nuannuan smiled bitterly and reached out to touch Duan Maochuan's little face: "But it's okay. The most important thing is that Chuan'er's life is saved."

"That's not what I meant." Duan Tingxuan adjusted his posture, leaned slightly on the bed, and said in a deep voice: "It was said before that Chuan Ge'er had diarrhea after eating ice cream. I believe it, but I don't believe that eating ice cream can almost kill him. I asked Doctor Han, and he also felt that it was impossible. This matter is very confusing. Nuannuan, you didn't avoid suspicion after you came, and insisted on inducing vomiting for Chuan Ge'er. Do you have any ideas in it? Now there are no outsiders, only me, can't even I say it?"

Su Nuannuan said calmly, "There's nothing I can't say. I have the same idea as you. In fact, Chuan Ge'er stole the ice cream. I asked about it, and it happened to be the half bowl of ice cream left after you entered the palace. Before I had time to clean it up, someone came to report that Meiyue Tower had a fire, so I hurried there. At that time, only Cong Erhua was left in Chunfeng Garden. Probably, I didn't pay attention and let the child eat that half bowl of ice cream. Then hot tea was served. But no matter how I think about it, I don't believe that these two things can be fatal, and so quickly, so I wondered if someone was involved and let Chuan Ge'er eat something by mistake? Although the situation is unclear, as long as those things are vomited out, it's always right, so I induced Chuan Ge'er to vomit regardless of anything. Thinking about it now, I can't help but feel a wave of fear, but at that time my heart was really pulled up, and I didn't have the mind to worry about anything else. If Chuan Ge'er can't escape this time, I'm afraid I will really pay for my life, and Aunt Jiang will be the first one who won't let me go."

"She really behaved badly today. I will tell her off later." Duan Tingxuan frowned, but heard Su Nuannuan whisper, "You don't have to tell on her. She is Chuan Ge'er's biological mother. It's not easy for her to control him to this extent. If my child was lying in bed with his life or death uncertain, I don't know what I would do."

Duan Tingxuan said nothing, but gently held Su Nuannuan's hand. After a long while, he whispered, "It's hard for you to think about her like this. You just said that someone gave Chuan Ge'er something by mistake. Did you notice any clues?"

"Do I need to notice any clues?" Su Nuannuan sighed deeply: "What Honglian said is right, this is the backyard of the Marquis' Mansion, anything can happen, it's not like I haven't experienced it before. It's a pity that I have a criminal record, so now everyone probably suspects me..."

"Nuannuan." Duan Tingxuan hurriedly held Su Nuannuan's hand and said solemnly: "Don't be sad, I absolutely believe in you."

"I understand." Su Nuannuan nodded, her eyes red, then she shook her head and smiled bitterly, "It's too early to draw any conclusions now. Chuan Ge'er is still so young. I guess even a cruel person with a heart of stone wouldn't do it to him, so maybe it was the ice cream that caused the trouble. Hua'er said that when she delivered the snacks, the ice cream bowl was empty, but she didn't notice it for a while. Then Chuan Ge'er drank hot tea again. This cold and hot conflict... He is only four years old after all."

Duan Tingxuan nodded without saying anything, but he didn't really believe this. If it was really a combination of cold and heat, what's the point of inducing vomiting? The soup was finished by then. If vomiting was useless, Doctor Han wouldn't have pointed this out. But in his heart, he also hoped that this was the case, because he didn't want to believe that someone in the backyard would risk the life of a four-year-old child in order to frame his wife. It was really chilling to think about such a vicious person around him.

The two of them fell silent. They didn't know how long it had been before they heard a maid outside whisper, "Sister Qiu Ling is here?"

Then Qiu Ling's voice sounded: "The old lady sent me to check on Chuan Ge'er's condition. Who is in there now?"

"Grandpa and Grandma are here. Our aunt is exhausted, so Grandpa told her to lie down." The little girl answered in a low voice. Qiu Ling was just hesitating when she heard Duan Tingxuan's voice inside, "Is that Qiu Ling? Come in."

Qiu Ling hurried in, bowed to Duan Tingxuan and Su Nuannuan, and then said with concern: "The old lady didn't eat much dinner because of Xuan Xinchuan's illness. The road is slippery now, otherwise she would have come here in person, so she sent me to check on the situation again."

The couple stood up, and Duan Tingxuan said, "Go back and thank grandma for her concern. Tell her that Chuan Ge'er is very lucky and has finally saved his life. After taking two doses of medicine, he has diarrhea less often than before. I have left Doctor Han in the mansion to take care of him at any time. I will stay here tonight, so please rest assured, grandma."

Qiu Ling clasped her hands and said, "Amitabha, no matter what, it's good that nothing happened. It's a pity that my brother is still so young, and he has to suffer such a punishment. In this case, I will go back and report to the old lady, otherwise she won't be able to sleep tonight."

After Qiu Ling left, Madam Yang, Liu Min, Xue Zhilan and others sent people to inquire about the situation. These people came in person in the afternoon and stayed for a long time before leaving. However, they were still worried at this time, so they sent people to inquire about the exact news. However, it is unknown how many of them really care and how many are just pretending.
