The main room was gloomy and empty, with no one in it.

The air was filled with a faint smell of blood and decay. Even through the veil and hat, the nauseating smell still rushed into the nose.

Chu Qianchen frowned and thought: Could it be that I am too late?

She looked around and warned, "Amber, don't touch anything in this room."

Amber quickly responded in a tense voice and followed Chu Qianchen inside.

The layout of these long houses is very simple, and each one has the same structure. The front is the main room, and the doors on the left and right lead to the kitchen and the inner room where people live.

Chu Qianchen pushed open a door and walked into the inner room. He saw a person lying on the couch at a glance. The smell of blood was even stronger.

“Ahem…”

The woman on the couch coughed weakly, over and over again, her body trembling with fear.

She heard the door open and looked over, revealing a pale, thin, sickly face with spots of dried blood on it, which was frightening to look at.

Even though the other person was completely different from the one he was six days ago, Chu Qianchen still recognized at a glance that the dying person was Mei'er.

She's still alive!

"Mei'er?" Chu Qianchen called tentatively.

Chu Qianchen was wearing a veil at the moment, and the veil blocked her face. Mei'er couldn't see her face, but she recognized her voice and asked cautiously, "Second Miss?"

Her voice was as light as a mosquito's hum, and she was hanging on with only her last breath. Even her breathing was so weak that you could hardly hear the rise and fall of her chest.

Chu Qianchen stood at the door and looked at Mei'er, who was about ten feet away. He didn't say anything for a long time, so long that Mei'er thought she was about to die and that was why she had hallucinations.

After a moment of silence, Chu Qianchen spoke again, and the first sentence he said was: "Do you regret it?"

Regret?! Mei'er on the couch's pupils shrank, her face turned three points paler, and she said in a trembling voice: "I, your servant..."

At first, she thought she just had a common cold, but in just a few days she became seriously ill and was dying. She was not stupid, so there was nothing she couldn't figure out.

This... this is murder to silence the witnesses!!

But is regret still useful?

She is almost dying!

"Miss, this servant... cough cough!"

Mei'er wanted to say something, but before she could utter a few words, she suddenly covered her mouth and started coughing violently. Along with the cough, two streams of bright red blood spurted out of her nose, which was a horrible description.

"Girl!" Amber quickly shielded Chu Qianchen behind her. She remembered that the girl said that this disease was transmitted through blood!

"No problem." Chu Qianchen smiled and observed Mei'er on the couch through the veil.

There were a few red rashes on the back of Mei'er's hands, but there were none on her face, which was still smooth.

Although the patients suffering from the "Seven-Day Hidden Disease" have different surface symptoms, for example, Nanny Chen's initial symptom was a rash, and according to Nanny Chen, Mei'er's condition should have started with nosebleeds. However, these patients will have more or less rashes on their bodies, some on the face, some on the body, and some on the limbs; some have numerous rashes like pockmarks, but some only have a few sporadically.

If Nanny Chen's rash had not happened to be on her face and neck, it would have been too obvious for Chu Qianchen to have noticed. Once Nanny Chen's rash broke and bled, it would have been troublesome.

"Mei'er, let me check your pulse first."

"Auntie..." Amber hesitated and wanted to hold her back, but she didn't dare. The second girl has become more and more opinionated recently. Even the lady can't persuade her, let alone herself. Amber gritted her teeth and followed.

Chu Qianchen covered Mei'er's wrist with a handkerchief and carefully checked her pulse through the handkerchief.

Soon, she withdrew her hand and said, "You can still be saved."

As soon as these four words came out, a gleam of light suddenly bloomed in Mei'er's gray eyes.

No one wants to die if they can live!

"Second Miss..." Mei'er called in a trembling voice.

She saw with her own eyes that Chu Qianchen saved the dying Fourth Young Master. To Mei Er now, Chu Qianchen was like a life-saving straw, "Please..."

"Do you regret it?" Chu Qianchen asked again in a calm tone.

The veil blocked her face. Mei'er was not smart, but at this moment she felt blessed and her eyes widened instantly.

"I'll tell you everything!"

"Please help me girl!"

These two sentences seemed to have exhausted all of Mei'er's strength. She tried her best to raise her upper body a little. After she finished speaking, her body fell back onto the couch weakly.

"Amber, go get some medicine." Chu Qianchen instructed Amber, "Ask the people at the clinic to boil it and bring it back."

Chu Qianchen wrote a recipe for Amber with a charcoal pencil on the spot, and after giving her a few instructions, he said, "Bring back some cakes that are easy to digest."

Amber looked at her girl worriedly, then went out, looking back every few steps.

Following Chu Qianchen's instructions, Amber took off the old outermost clothes and the veil on her head before leaving the house and put them aside. She then washed her hands with water soaked in mugwort leaves that she brought with her, and then hurried to Jishidiang.

Chu Qianchen, who stayed behind, was not idle either. He first gave Mei'er an acupuncture injection to stop her nosebleed and cough, and then asked, "Go ahead."

When Chu Qianchen took the silver needle, Mei'er felt her body became much lighter. She had almost been out of breath just now, but now she no longer felt suffocated.

It was as if she suddenly came alive!

Mei'er was even more convinced of Chu Qianchen's medical skills, and dared not hide anything, and said, "It's Aunt Cui."

As she spoke, she looked at Chu Qianchen with complicated eyes. Everyone knew that Nanny Cui was Aunt Jiang's personal nanny.

Behind the veil, Chu Qianchen's face was calm and peaceful.

As far as Chu Qianchen knew, when Aunt Jiang came all the way to the capital to seek refuge with the Dowager Madam, Aunt Cui was already serving her and was her most capable confidant.

In fact, Aunt Jiang was much closer to Madam Cui than to her own daughter, and trusted her much more.

Chu Qianchen had thought that this matter might be related to Aunt Jiang.

Once upon a time, Aunt Jiang was like her heaven, the most gentle and kind person. Even when she was kicked out of the house in her previous life, she just thought that Aunt Jiang was powerless.

But now, Chu Qianchen really doesn’t know what kind of person her biological mother is.
