And the needlework on it looks very familiar, and you can tell it is her own craftsmanship at a glance.
The shouting from the other end got louder. Lian'er squeezed her purse tightly, turned around and walked back, no longer caring about going to Xia Ning's side first.
She thought to herself that she had to tell the lady about this as soon as possible.
In the middle of the night, the Mei family's mansion became unusually busy.
The entire mansion was a bit more lively than usual during the Chinese New Year. The servants also gathered at the door of Ci'an Hall, and some were kneeling at the door, shivering from the cold.
"You bastards! I asked you to serve Brother Cheng, but why did he go to the garden in the middle of the night and fall into the water! It must be you naughty slaves who didn't serve him well!" Mei's mother was furious while sitting in Ci'an Hall. They were ordered to beat them with wooden sticks.
There were screams outside the house again, and the servants were all in danger.
"Doctor, how is my son doing now?" Mei Yuanqing was wearing thin clothes and her hair was not combed. It was obvious from a glance that she had just gotten off the bed and had arrived in a hurry.
The doctor was diagnosing the pulse. He held Brother Cheng's cold wrist for a while, then withdrew his hand, stood up, and the two of them walked outside to talk.
The doctor looked troubled and sighed, "In this cold winter, even a healthy adult will be seriously ill if he falls into the water, let alone a child of several years old."
After hearing this, Mei Yuanqing's eyes suddenly darkened, and he forced himself to ask, "Is he still alive?"
The doctor nodded when he heard the words and touched his gray beard. "I will make a prescription later. You go get the medicine and boil it according to the prescription. Drink it thickly and drink it for him. Maybe he will get better tonight." The fever is over and I’ll be fine tomorrow.”
Mei Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief, and then the doctor continued, "But........."
"But what."
Seeing the troubled expression on the doctor's face, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Sure enough, the doctor said: "Your Majesty's face was injured a few days ago. It would have healed after a while. But now that the weather is very cold, the wound has healed slower. Now that he fell into the water... I just looked at the wound. It was soaked by the lake water, and the scab broke again. The lake water is dirty, so I'm afraid the wound is not good."
After saying that, the doctor glanced at Mei Yuanqing with pity and thought to himself.
This person's luck is really bad. He got a son at this age, and he was adopted. Now he has a bad face and has blocked Qingyun Road.
The Mei family's hope now rests on him, and now it's ruined...
What bad luck.
As soon as he finished speaking, Mei Yuanqing almost couldn't stand, staggered, and was helped by the boy beside him, so that he wouldn't fall to the ground and make a fool of himself.
The waiter helped him sit down on the chair. He calmed down and said in a very hard voice: "Doctor, you mean that my son's face can't be healed? Is that so? There is still a chance for treatment, okay?" I can use expensive medicine as long as it can cure my son."
The doctor paused, and while feeling grateful that Mei Yuanqing cared so much for a stepson, he still shook his head with difficulty, "I'm afraid not, the young master's current wound will definitely leave traces, Master Mei... still... Make plans early.”
After saying that, the doctor left the house and left.
Mei Yuanqing sat on the chair, stunned.
Even when Mei's mother came to him and spoke to him, she seemed to be unable to hear her. It was the boy who reminded him that he finally regained consciousness.
"Mother, what's wrong..."
"Let me ask you, how is brother Cheng's injury? What does the doctor say?"
"The doctor said... his face was disfigured."
"What!" Mei's mother's eyes widened, her tone full of disbelief, "Did the doctor say, can it still be cured? Brother Cheng is your only son. If his face is bad, what will happen in the future? ah!"
After she finished speaking, she sat on the chair, patted her thigh hard, and shed tears.
"Why is my grandson so miserable? First, he fell in love with a mother like that. Now his face is injured and he is still running a high fever. If God wants to punish me, just punish me. Why should I punish my grandson? Brother Cheng Why would you treat such a filial child like this!"
Mei's mother cried very sadly, and her wailing was so loud that it could be heard inside and outside.
When some servants heard such words, they looked at each other, and based on what they saw on weekdays, they actually had a guess in their minds.
Mei Yuanqing couldn't care less about what her mother said was wrong at the moment, "The doctor said it can't be cured. Brother Cheng's wound has opened again. No medicine can cure it now. I'm afraid... ...The path to the imperial examination is completely cut off.”
After he finished speaking, he seemed to have lost all his strength and lay down behind the chair.
He looked like he had suddenly aged several years, which frightened Mei Mu so much that she forgot to cry. She stood up and helped him, "My son, you have to be well now. The house is counting on you to support him." ”
After hearing this, Mei Yuanqing could only cheer up, "Mother just asked those servants if they knew why Brother Cheng fell into the water."
Only then did Mei's mother ramble on about the news that had just been interrogated.
It turned out that brother Cheng heard a cat meowing outside the window at night, and he was curious, so he chased it out. It was midnight and the boys thought that their master had rested. They inevitably thought of being lazy, so they fell asleep outside. . Unexpectedly, I didn't hear the sound of Brother Cheng pushing the door open and going out.
Then the news came back that he had fallen into the water, and they hurried to the yard.
"My poor grandson, these servants really hurt him. He was such a little person. He soaked in the garden for a while before he was discovered by a maid who happened to be passing by. He was rescued by someone. When he was first rescued, I was so cold that I fainted. I almost... almost died. It felt like my heart had been torn out..."
Mei's mother was indeed sad as she spoke, but Xu was even more sad. Her hands began to shake uncontrollably, and she lay down on her back. The maids rushed forward to rub her chest, pat her back, and support her. Arrived on the couch to rest.
The doctor had just returned when he was invited back again. After diagnosing the pulse, he looked troubled again.
What is going on with the Mei family? Everyone has fallen down, but they all...
It is such a difficult disease to cure. At this age, this old lady may have had signs of stroke before, but now...
He stood up, not wanting to stay at Mei's house any longer, so he spoke in one breath.
"The old lady is old. She should have had symptoms and signs in the past and should rest. She is sad and angry at the same time. Now she has signs of stroke. If she takes good care of herself in the future, she may not continue. Deterioration, but if you don't take care of it well and continue to be stimulated, in the future..."
