Zhao Chuchu and Zhang Xiuyuan followed Xingzi into the Bai Mansion.
The atmosphere around seemed a little depressing. Xingzi frowned slightly, wondering if something had happened during the two days she was away.
At this moment, a maidservant not far away saw her, was immediately delighted, and hurried over.
"Xiao Tao, what happened in the mansion?"
"Sister Xingzi, you are finally back. Please go and persuade the young master to come out and eat something. The doctor said that if the young master doesn't eat, it is very likely, very likely..." As she spoke, Xiaotao's eyes turned red, tears fell, and she sobbed softly.
The young master has a gentle personality and treats servants like them very well. They really don't want anything to happen to the young master. And as for the husband, the young master is the apple of his eye. If anything happens to the young master, the husband will be so sad.
Xingzi's face was tense, her expression solemn and serious. "Okay, I'll go with you and take a look. By the way..."
She turned to look at Zhao Chuchu and Zhang Xiuyuan and pleaded, "Could you two go with Xingzi as well?"
She always had a feeling that if Boss Zhao and Yuan Fulang went together, they might be able to help.
Zhao Chuchu came here for Bai Chu, so she naturally agreed.
Xiao Tao looked at the two strangers in front of her in surprise, wanting to say something but stopping herself. After a pause, she turned to talk about Bai Chu.
"...The young master's health had improved a while ago, so he begged his husband to go out for fun. He begged him several times before he finally agreed the day before yesterday. But as soon as he went out, something unexpected happened..."
Bai Chu was locked up at home since he was a child due to health reasons, but he was a human being, not a bird in a cage. He always longed for the outside world, but he also knew that his parents were worried about his health. He was precocious and sensible since he was a child, and did not want his parents to worry about him, so he did not make a fuss and force himself to leave the house.
It was only during this period that, as his health gradually recovered from eating the Zhao family's food, he tentatively asked to leave the house several times.
Xuan Fulang has always been touched by his son's understanding, and considering that his health has improved, he agreed to let him leave the house.
But unexpectedly, he encountered someone abusing and killing a dog. Because the distance was too close, the dog's blood splashed on his face.
It is said that Bai Chu froze in place, his eyes were bright red and a little dull, then he covered his abdomen and vomited violently, after which his body convulsed and he fell into a coma.
The servant immediately took Bai Chu back to the Bai Mansion. When Xuan Fulang learned about it, he immediately called a doctor.
Bai Chu, who was in a coma, seemed to have fallen into a nightmare. After the dream came, he vomited repeatedly. In the end, he not only vomited bile, but also vomited blood.
"...The young master can only drink a few sips of the medicine prescribed by the doctor. Since returning home, the young master has not eaten anything. He can't even eat the dishes made by the Zhao family..."
Zhao Chuchu listened quietly to the conversation between Xingzi and Xiaotao, analyzing it carefully in her mind.
From what she had inquired, she knew that the young master of the county magistrate's family had always had a poor appetite and ate too little. The doctor was certain that this might even affect his lifespan.
From a modern perspective, Zhao Chuchu guessed that Bai Chu might have anorexia, but she had no idea why.
Now, after listening to Xiaotao's words, Zhao Chuchu focused her suspicion on "dog abuse".
She remembered that there was a type of anorexia called anorexia nervosa, and perhaps Bai Chu had this type of anorexia. As for the specific cause, perhaps only the Bai family knew.
