Chapter 150 "Don't you have a child at home...
For a moment, except for the statue of the God of Spring in the hall, which still had gentle features and soft eyes, Wen Yu and the others were all dumbfounded and didn't know what to say.
Wen Yu thought carefully in her heart. She didn't seem to have done anything eye-catching. Why did Madam Wen ask her to save people?
"Me?" Wen Yu pointed at the tip of his nose. He really couldn't figure it out, so he asked directly.
"Yes, it's Madam Wenyu." Seeing that Wenyu finally agreed to speak to her, Wen Kang was overjoyed, her tears finally wiping away. "I've heard that Madam Wenyu is a skilled doctor. It was thanks to Madam Wenyu's treatment that Chen, the clerk at the government office, was able to recover and move freely as normal."
But she didn't expect that Wen Yu and Song Linsheng's faces turned stern when she said this.
How could Madam Wen know so much about Chen Mian's affairs?
Song Linsheng frowned and asked in a cold voice, "I didn't expect that Madam Wen, in addition to having many servants, also had spies in the Jiangyang government office?"
It seems that the Jiangyang government office also needs a thorough investigation.
Wen Kang was initially unaware of the situation, but after Song Linsheng finished speaking, she finally came to her senses. She quickly waved her hands and explained, "That's not true. I only heard it from hearsay. I only knew that Chen Shuli was seriously injured and recovered thanks to Madam Wen Yu's help."
"Mrs. Wenyu's miraculous healing skills and superb medical skills have spread throughout the market, and I learned about it by chance." Her eyes were full of sincerity as she looked at Wenyu expectantly.
Wen Yu's eyes moved, and he saw that she didn't seem to be faking it.
"Since it's just hearsay, you should know that there are truths and falsehoods, realities and illusions." Song Linsheng's face turned cold. "Since Madam Wen has no concrete evidence, she shouldn't bother Madam Wen."
"I, I just want to give it a try..." Wen Kang's voice gradually weakened.
Wen Yu patted Madam Wen's shoulder to comfort her, explaining, "But what you heard is indeed wrong. It was my brother who saved Chen Mian, not me."
Wen Kang suddenly raised her drooping head and faced Wen Yu. She asked in disbelief, "How could this be? Then, where is Madam Wen Yu's brother now? I'll come and visit him right away."
As she spoke, Mrs. Wen struggled to get up. After knowing the truth about Chen Mian's recovery, she didn't want to delay for a moment.
Wen Yu and Song Linsheng exchanged a glance, and Song Linsheng stepped forward to explain, "Madam Wen Yu's brother has no fixed place to stay and has been traveling around. We don't know where he is now."
Wen Yu nodded repeatedly when he heard this. Where else could his brother be? In heaven.
She stole a glance at the statue of the God of Spring behind her.
Now that summer has arrived, the master should not be as busy as in spring. He may be meditating and practicing in the Temple of Spring.
Thinking of this, Wen Yu was helpless. She grabbed Madam Wen's struggling shoulders and advised: "Although my brother is not here, I can still hold on for a while. After all, we are siblings, and I know a little bit."
"Tell me first what happened to your son. If I can handle it, I will do it. If not, I will try to contact my brother." Wen Yu patted Mrs. Wen's shoulder and told her to calm down.
As expected, upon hearing what Wen Yu said, Wen Kang stopped struggling, and her gray eyes lit up with fragmented light again, "Madam Wen Yu, are you serious?"
Wen Yu sighed and replied, "If you don't trust me, why would you come looking for me?"
"Yes, I worried too much." A smile gradually appeared on Wen Kang's face, and she was finally not as bitter and resentful as before.
Song Linsheng's eyes moved. He had seen the boy from the Wen family before.
Wen Kang took a deep breath, turned around, and bowed three times to the statue of the God of Spring. Then, she whispered to Wen Yu, "My son Wen Yanli... has suddenly fallen ill and is unconscious. I can't explain it in a few words."
"I originally wanted to invite Madam Wenyu to come over for a chat so I could see Yanli's condition with my own eyes, but I did use the wrong method. Please forgive me, Madam Wenyu."
Wen Yu nodded, and finally learned the purpose of Mrs. Wen's visit from her mouth.
"How long has he been like this?" Wen Yu asked.
"It's been several months since... At first, it was just a high fever. I consulted famous doctors and tried every possible remedy, but the condition only got worse. In the end, I was no longer in my right mind."
When talking about the sad part, Mrs. Wen couldn't help but shed tears.
High fever and mental disorder.
Song Linsheng pondered for a moment, but remained silent. This situation was somewhat similar to what happened to Chen Mian back then.
"Xiaoyu, are you sure?"
But my brother has passed away a long time ago, and I don’t know if Xiaoyu can really contact him.
If not, what should we do?
Song Linsheng was thinking about a countermeasure. If he really couldn't find his brother's whereabouts, he would invite a famous doctor from Shangdu to treat Master Wen, hoping that it would be of some effect.
Wen Yu nodded, then shook his head. After some thought, he said cautiously, "As Madam said, this cannot be explained in a few words. Why don't I come to your house on a certain day to see your son, and then we can discuss it later."
She needed to think about it again. She couldn't explain it clearly just by saying this. It would be better to see it with her own eyes, understand the symptoms, and then prescribe the right medicine.
"Yes, yes, Madam Wenyu is right," Wen Kang agreed. "How about setting the date three days from now? I've had someone calculate it, and it's a very auspicious sign, good for my son Yanli's mental health."
If not for this, she wouldn't have been so anxious as to disregard etiquette and secretly follow Madam Wen Yu up the mountain.
Wen Yu was stunned and turned to look at Song Linsheng beside him. Getting sores and diseases are just common occurrences for mortals, so how can they be related to the auspicious time of heaven?
Song Linsheng pursed his lips and shook his head helplessly, indicating that since Madam Wen had made her plan, they could only obey.
After all, the patient is the most important. Since the Wen family believes in fortune-telling, we should just follow their advice.
Wen Yu raised his eyebrows, feeling helpless, and could only agree: "Okay, then in three days, I will come to your house to see your master."
Wen Kang's shoulders sank, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Her face brightened. She couldn't help but hold up Wen Yu's hand and said, "Thank you, Madam Wen Yu. He is my only child, and I rely entirely on you. If you can cure my son, I will give you everything I have to thank you!"
She could give away anything she had, including gold, jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings. She only wanted her sons and daughters to be safe.
Wen Yu didn't hear clearly what she said next.
In fact, Wen Yu's body froze when he heard the word "only child".
Song Linsheng and Xi Yan, who were standing by, also looked worried.
Only one child? What only one child?
Wen Yu and Song Linsheng looked at each other and exchanged information. This Madam Wen actually said... Wen Yanli is the only child in the family?
So what about Wen Yanzi who lives in the mansion now?
Before they could speak, Xiyan, who was standing beside them, stepped forward angrily and asked, "Madam Wen."
Xi Yan suppressed his displeasure and greeted Wen Kang. When she turned her gaze to him, he continued, "I wonder what you mean, Madam Wen? Are you really going to abandon your son just because of a little quarrel and pretend he doesn't exist?"
Wen Yu and Song Linsheng were usually very busy, rarely having free time. Ever since Yanzi's younger brother came into the mansion with Ayuan, Song Bo and Xiyan had been helping out most of the time. Xiyan was the one who visited the Zhuqu Courtyard where his brothers and sisters lived the most, so he was particularly close to Ayuan and Yanzi.
Now, he suddenly heard Madam Wen calling Wen Yanli the only son in the family, and never mentioned Yanzi at all, as if she had no such son.
Xiyan felt really unfair for Yanzi, so he couldn't help but speak out.
Wen Yu and Song Linsheng's eyes turned, somewhat puzzled by what he meant.
Unexpectedly, the most confused person in the palace was Madam Wen.
Wen Kang was bewildered, her eyes filled with astonishment. After Xi Yan had finished speaking, she cautiously asked, "Young Master, I wonder...what do you mean by this?"
"What do I mean by that?" Xi Yan's eyebrows arched, and he took a step forward angrily. "Madam Wen, why are you asking me this? You let the child wander around without caring or asking anything, and you still talk about the only child? Who is the only child? Is he really the only child?"
Song Linsheng remained calm and composed, and did not lose his temper. He simply raised his sleeve and placed it across Xiyan's body, but did not say anything to stop Xiyan from speaking.
Wen Yu crossed his arms and looked at Mrs. Wen's reaction coldly.
A Yuan once told her and Song Linsheng that Wen Yanzi was the youngest son of the Wen family, the second child in the family, and had an older brother.
It was just that he had some unpleasantness with his family, so he ran away alone. He would rather wander around Houtu Temple with Ayuan and live a life of hunger and fullness than go back home.
Not to mention the past, even since entering the Song residence, I have never heard of anyone coming to look for Yanzi.
Originally, when he met Mrs. Wen today, although he thought she was strange, he was prepared to wait for her to explain her purpose, tell her the truth about Yanzi, and then decide whether to send Yanzi back to the Wen family.
But I didn't expect that Mrs. Wen would mention her only child as soon as she opened her mouth.
It seems that Wen Yanli is the only son in the family?
Madam Wen asked Xiyan a question that left him speechless. He didn't know how to answer. He just stared at him blankly without saying a word to explain.
Wen Yu held his forehead, not knowing what to say.
Finally, Wen Yu asked seriously, "Madam Wen, don't you have a little boy named Wen Yanzi?"
After Wen Yu said this, Xi Yan retreated with an unhappy look on his face. He wanted to see how Madam Wen would respond.
Song Linsheng withdrew his hand, straightened his sleeve with one hand, and then stood with his hands behind his back. Obviously, Madam Wen needed to give an explanation today.
Otherwise, not to mention that Yanzi herself was unwilling to go home, given the current situation, they were really worried about what Yanzi's situation would be like if she returned home.
When Wen Kang heard this, his face stiffened, but he didn't seem panicked or guilty, just a little dazed.
For a moment, boundless silence filled the Wutong Ancestral Temple.
The statue of the God of Spring on the high hall has its eyebrows lowered and its eyes downcast, and it remains silent.
The people in the hall each had their own thoughts and kept silent.
Wen Yu frowned. Having said that, could it be that Madam Wen still wanted to deny it?
She turned sideways and looked up at Song Linsheng, and saw him shaking his head calmly, signaling her to be quiet.
Wen Yu originally planned to ask a few more questions, but had to give up and stop there.
But when Wen Yu turned around to look at Madam Wen, he felt that her eyes were empty and lifeless, as if she was lost in endless memories.
Even Xiyan, who was extremely anxious and couldn't wait to ask for an explanation for Yanzi, stopped talking at the right time.
Time rises and falls in the endless silence, back and forth, I don’t know how many times it has turned over, nor how much time has passed.
Just when Wen Yu and Song Linsheng thought that Madam Wen would not reply, she suddenly said, "Madam Wen Yu..."
