Chapter 60 Exposed
"Mother!"
"Mother!"
Yan Zhiyi, Pei Siyan, Jiang Zhaoyue and Pei Jingzhou rushed forward together.
Wang fell unconscious in Nanny Li's arms.
"Go and call the palace doctor quickly." Pei Jingzhou said hurriedly.
"Yes." Yinping hurried to invite him.
Pei Jingzhou grabbed Wang's arm, carried her on his back, and walked quickly towards Songqing Hall.
Yan Zhiyi and others hurried to follow.
Jiang Zhaoyue stood there, seeing the anxiety on Yan Zhiyi and Pei Siyan's faces, then looked at Wang's back. She thought for a while and followed them into Songqing Hall.
The doctor from Lu's residence had not arrived yet, but Pei Maokun arrived first.
"Father." Pei Jingzhou and others called.
"What happened?" Pei Maokun asked with concern.
"Jiang..." Pei Siyan subconsciously wanted to call Jiang Zhaoyue by name, but suddenly remembered that the person in front of her was her father, and immediately changed her words: "Second sister-in-law made mother faint from anger!"
"Are you telling lies now?" Pei Jingzhou looked at Pei Siyan with cold eyes.
Pei Siyan felt a chill in her heart.
Pei Jingzhou asked: "What did your second sister-in-law say?"
Pei Siyan didn't dare to lie anymore and said, "Second sister-in-law said 'Yes, mother', and then mother fainted."
Pei Jingzhou no longer paid attention to Pei Siyan, and looked at Pei Maokun and said, "Father, your son and mother have a disagreement, and you made your mother angry."
"Then you..." Although Pei Jingzhou said this, Pei Maokun knew that his son had always been sensible and polite. If he could say something that contradicted Wang, it must be that Wang had done something wrong.
He didn't know what to say, so he said, "Then quickly ask the court doctor to come in and take a look."
What does this mean?
Father doesn’t blame my second brother?
Pei Siyan felt resentful.
Yan Zhiyi listened quietly beside him.
Jiang Zhaoyue did not express any opinion.
Just then, the doctor from the Lu Mansion arrived. Pei Jingzhou said, "Doctor Lu, come and take a look."
"Yes." Doctor Lu hurried to the bed, put down the medicine box, sat on the small stool beside the bed, took out the pulse pillow, and placed it under Wang's hand.
Jiang Zhaoyue and others were waiting nearby.
"What's wrong with mother?" Pei Heng ran in at this time.
"Brother Heng, why are you here too?" Pei Maokun asked.
"I came to pay my respects to my mother, and then I heard that she fainted, so I hurried over to see how she was. I was so worried." Pei Heng frowned like a little adult.
"The court doctor is examining him. Please stand aside and wait." Pei Maokun said.
"Okay, I'll stand in front of my second sister-in-law." Pei Heng immediately walked up to Jiang Zhaoyue.
Jiang Zhaoyue kept looking at Doctor Lu and Wang.
Doctor Lu's hand was already on Wang's pulse. A trace of doubt flashed across his face, and then he frowned. He looked at Wang's face with suspicion, lifted Wang's eyelids and took a look. He was confused again, and couldn't help but look up at Pei Jingzhou, then at Jiang Zhaoyue, and continued to take Wang's pulse.
"Doctor Lu, how is Madam?" Pei Maokun asked.
"Duke, let me give you another try." said the doctor from the Lu Mansion.
"Is he seriously ill?" Pei Maokun's face showed anxiety.
Pei Jingzhou also became worried.
Pei Siyan glared at Jiang Zhaoyue hatefully.
Yan Zhiyi asked, "Brother Jingzhou, do you want to ask the imperial physician to come and take a look?"
Brother Jingzhou again?
Jiang Zhaoyue curled her lips.
Pei Jingzhou replied without turning his head: "Let's hear what the doctor from the Lu Mansion says first."
Yan Zhiyi nodded and responded: "Yes."
The doctor in the Lu Mansion took the pulse for a long time, then stood up and saluted: "My Lord, Madam's pulse is smooth and peaceful, nothing unusual."
"Then why did she faint?" Pei Maokun asked.
"There are so many difficult and complicated diseases in the world that I really don't know them all." The doctor from Lu Mansion replied.
Pei Maokun's expression suddenly changed.
Pei Jingzhou frowned.
Pei Siyan and Yan Zhiyi also became nervous.
Pei Heng raised his head and asked softly, "Second sister-in-law, what's wrong with mother?"
"I don't know, let's hear what they say first." Jiang Zhaoyue said softly.
Pei Heng nodded.
The doctor of the Lu Mansion said again: "How about we follow Miss Yan's suggestion and ask the imperial physician to come and take a look?"
The title of Duke of Zhenguo was earned through military exploits, and he was highly regarded by both the late emperor and the emperor. If Wang was ill, Pei Maokun only needed to say a word, and the emperor would certainly send for the imperial physician to examine her. He immediately decided, "Okay."
Pei Jingzhou said, "Father, I will go to the palace to see the emperor."
"Okay." Pei Maokun agreed.
Jiang Zhaoyue had been staring at Wang quietly. While everyone was discussing inviting the imperial physician, she quietly covered her mouth and made two "chi chi" sounds.
Pei Heng's eyes suddenly widened: "There's a rat!"
Wang's fingers moved suddenly.
Jiang Zhaoyue's almond-shaped eyes curved: "Chiji!"
"It's the rat!" Pei Heng exclaimed, and then he looked around hurriedly: "Where is it?"
“Chichi!”
Pei Heng said, "What a loud noise! It must be a big rat!"
"I heard the sound seemed to come from the bed." Jiang Zhaoyue continued.
"Mom is most afraid of mice. I'll go and take a look." Pei Heng immediately rushed to the bedside, and his little hand accidentally touched Wang's arm.
"Ah!" Wang screamed, sat up suddenly, and clapped her arms quickly, fearing that the mouse would stick to her arms.
Pei Heng was so scared that he sat down on the ground.
"Fifth brother." Jiang Zhaoyue quickly picked up Pei Heng.
Wang raised her eyes when she heard the voice, and the moment she saw Pei Heng, she realized that she was too scared and mistook the child for a mouse. Then... she raised her eyes and saw everyone in the room.
Pei Jingzhou and others looked at Wang in astonishment.
"Mother, are you pretending?" Before Wang, Pei Siyan and Yan Zhiyi could react, Jiang Zhaoyue took the initiative to characterize Wang's behavior to prevent them from making excuses and fooling Pei Maokun and Pei Jingzhou.
Pei Heng immediately followed Jiang Zhaoyue and said, "Mother, you are pretending!"
Pei Maokun and Pei Jingzhou were so worried that they didn't suspect anything. After listening to Jiang Zhaoyue's words, they began to carefully consider the words of the doctor in the Lu Mansion, "Madam's pulse is calm and smooth, there is nothing unusual", which meant that Wang was fine.
Unexpected!
They didn't expect that Wang, who they thought was dignified and concerned about the overall situation, would pretend to be sick.
Wang also had her own difficulties. She really disliked Jiang Zhaoyue and tried several times to intimidate Jiang Zhaoyue, but not only did it not work, it also caused estrangement between her and her second son.
If this continues, will she still have a say as a mother?
She couldn't swallow this.
At this time, Yan Zhiyi came to visit him. Her every move and gesture were that of a lady from a noble family. She was completely incomparable to the uneducated Jiang Zhaoyue.
The more she watched, the more she liked him, and the more she wanted to bring her second son and Yan Zhiyi together. It just so happened that she heard a few days ago that the Shangshu's wife was pretending to be sick and had control over her son and daughter-in-law.
Her heart was immediately moved.
But she is the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo after all, and it would be too cheap for her to do this.
But when she saw her second son protecting Jiang Zhaoyue like he was blinded by greed, she got so excited that she pretended to faint.
She was already feeling guilty about her behavior, and suddenly she heard the squeaking of mice, which she feared the most.
If you get nervous, you'll be exposed.
Now...
Pei Siyan and Yan Zhiyi did not expect that Wang could do such a thing.
"Mother, you really broadened your horizons." Pei Jingzhou took Jiang Zhaoyue's hand and strode out.
"Jingzhou!" Wang called hurriedly.
