Yongzhou Prefecture, Shen family.
Xu leaned sickly on the couch, completely different from his usual delicate and perfect appearance. His eyes were bloodshot, his eyes were covered with bruises, his complexion was sallow and there was no color to speak of, and there were blisters at the corners of his mouth. Some of them have been broken, and thick water and blood have condensed on the surface, which is particularly embarrassing.
Aunt Guo gently rubbed her temples. Seeing her look like this, she couldn't help but feel distressed and said: "Madam, you'd better get some sleep. Look at how you've endured these past few days. You're in terrible shape. In a few days, the master will be here." I’m back, what should I do if I see you like this!”
It's okay not to mention this matter, but when it comes to mentioning it, Mrs. Xu gets even more headache.
Xu Yihao's health has made her very worried, but Shen Tianshu has also been missing for more than ten days, and there is no news. If the master can't find him before he comes back, she doesn't know how to explain it.
"Do you have any news about the people who were sent out? They haven't been found yet? They're a bunch of losers! She's a girl who usually doesn't leave the front door. Where can she go to the barren mountains and wild mountains? Even if she falls off the cliff and dies or... If you were bitten to death by a wild beast, you should get the body back, right?"
Before she finished speaking, a little maid quickly walked into the room and said: "Madam, my young master woke up and started throwing things again. He also said that none of the doctors here are good and wants to go home..."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xu ignored her discomfort and quickly got up and walked across the courtyard, pulling on her handkerchief to wipe her tears as she walked.
"Even changing doctors several times has no effect, what do you think we should do?"
Xu has been tossing and turning these days, with blisters on her mouth, naturally not because Shen Tianshu lost it, but because Xu Yihao suddenly stopped lifting it since Shen Tianshu stabbed the Shimen point that day.
This not only frightened Xu Yihao, but also frightened Mrs. Xu out of her mind.
Xu Yihao is the only child of the Xu family. If he really has any good intentions in this regard, wouldn't it mean that the Xu family's incense is cut off?
Mrs. Xu hurriedly consulted famous doctors, and she was not stingy with money at all. She bought all kinds of tiger and deer penises from home.
But it has been ten days in the blink of an eye, and all the famous local doctors have been called in. Moxibustion, acupuncture, medicine, and dietary supplements have been used in turn, but there is still no improvement at all.
"Clang——"
Xu Yihao threw the medicine bowl for an unknown number of times and roared at the top of his lungs: "Get out of here, get out of here! Go prepare the car, I want to go home!"
As soon as she entered the courtyard, she heard the sound of things being smashed in the house. Mrs. Xu was so anxious that she almost shed tears. While speeding up her pace, she couldn't help but said to Aunt Guo: "What should we do? What do you think it should be?" OK!"
If Xu Yihao went home like this, her parents would not let her go!
"Madam, I have asked all the well-known doctors in Yongzhou Prefecture, but it still doesn't work. If it doesn't work, I have to send someone to Wuchang Prefecture."
"Quack doctors, they are all quack doctors!" Mrs. Xu was so angry that she was shaking all over. "Everyone talks so wildly that it is of no use!"
In the room, the maids were cleaning up the broken porcelain pieces on the floor with their hands and feet without making any sound.
This happens every day these days, and they are already used to it.
And there is no wall that is airtight in the world, let alone a small back house of a prefect's yamen.
Young Master Ciao's "illness" has actually been spread among the servants for a long time - he can't stand up.
For men, this is undoubtedly the biggest blow, even more unbearable than losing an arm or leg.
What's more, Young Master Biao is a restless person. Everyone in the family knows that the reason why Young Master Biao came to join Madam was because he got into trouble with women and was sent here by his family to avoid the limelight.
Unexpectedly, he showed no restraint at all. He had lived in the Shen Mansion for less than half a month, and he had already slept with three maids under Xu's connivance. He had teased many more maids frivolously, and in the end he even set his sights on the eldest girl.
It can be said that in the entire Shen Mansion backyard, except for Mrs. Xu who was sincerely worried about him, everyone else basically felt that he had suffered retribution.
The kind of retribution in this life, the kind that sins deserve.
Mrs. Xu quickly walked into the room, avoided the broken porcelain pieces on the floor, approached the bed, took Xu Yihao's hand, and cried: "Yihao, don't worry, my aunt has already sent people to Wuchang Mansion to ask for a famous doctor. , I can definitely cure you.
"And as the old saying goes, sickness comes like a mountain, and goes away like a thread. There is no rush to cure the disease. If you stay here for a few more days, it won't be too late to go home after you recover. Don't you think so? ?”
When Xu Yihao heard about Wuchang Mansion, he suddenly remembered something and said, "Yes, isn't there an imperial doctor in Prince Rui's Mansion in Wuchang? I heard he was the apprentice of Divine Doctor Jiang!"
When he said this, his eyes lit up, he grabbed Mrs. Xu's hand with his backhand, and said urgently: "Auntie, please quickly ask someone to ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look at me. The imperial doctor must be more capable than other doctors! Let's give him more money. That’s it!”
"..." Mrs. Xu opened her mouth when she heard the words, but her mouth was full of bitterness and she didn't know what to say.
Of course she knew Liu Xukun and Liu Yuyi from Prince Rui's Mansion, but was this a matter of money?
No matter whether it was Prince Rui or Dr. Liu, was she capable of talking to them?
Not to mention inviting Xu Yihao to his home to see a doctor.
Xu Yihao has been moody these days. Seeing that Mrs. Xu’s attitude was unclear, he turned against her faster than turning the page in a book. He slapped Mrs. Xu on the face and cursed: “What, are you unwilling to spend money or unwilling to rely on relationships? I don’t think so. You don’t want me to get better at all, do you!”
Xu was knocked crooked by the beating, and even after struggling a few times, she couldn't sit up again.
"Young Master!" Grandma Guo screamed and rushed to help Mrs. Xu, "How could you do something to Madam!"
"What's wrong with me? It's still a minor thing!" Xu Yihao stared at Mrs. Xu with a sinister face and roared at her, "I don't care what method you use, anyway, I have to find an imperial doctor to treat me! If I am cured It's just a matter of return, if it can't be cured... Do you still want to go back to your parents' home in the future? Just pretend that you don't have your parents' home!"
Mrs. Xu was crying so hard that she was helped back to the main room by Aunt Guo.
Xu Yihao's slap was not sparing at all, and within a short time, half of Xu's face was already red and swollen.
While twisting the handkerchief to cover Xu's face, Aunt Guo couldn't help but said: "Madam, it's not the old slave who said that Young Master Cousin went too far. In any case, you are also an elder, and it is not your fault that he was injured. You have been asking for medical advice from him these days, and you are so anxious that you can't eat or sleep well. It's just that he doesn't remember your kindness at all. How could he be so rude and attack you..."
"Oh, how old is Yihao? He is still just a child!" Mrs. Xu defended Xu Yihao sincerely, "Actually, he usually respects me very much, but he suddenly encountered such a big thing. , I was so panicked that I acted like this, so I can’t blame him entirely..."
"Madam." Han Qiao, the personal maid, came in with a letter, "Someone came to deliver a letter outside the door just now. You must give it to Madam to read, saying that it contains a panacea that can cure Young Master Ciao."
Normally, Mrs. Xu would not even take a look at something of unknown origin, but at this time, she was a little sick and hurriedly sought medical treatment.
"Bring it quickly!"
Mrs. Xu grabbed the letter and tore it open, pulling out two thin pieces of paper inside. One of them had medical information she couldn't understand written on it, but the signature below was signed with Liu Xukun's name and a seal.
She thought the other one was a prescription, so she opened it hurriedly, only to see it read: "The prescription is in my hand. If you want to save someone, bring someone to Dongxing Inn at midnight tomorrow, and take me home in a beautiful way."
Mrs. Xu lowered her head to see the signature, and was so angry that she crumpled the letter paper in her hand into a ball, gritted her teeth and said, "Well done to you, Shen Tianshu!"
