Xu and Nianqiao, the master and servant, looked at each other, a little doubtful of their own ears.
"What did the master say before he left?" Mrs. Xu asked uncertainly.
Hanqiao was also a little vague and said hesitantly: "The master seems to have said that he found Mrs. Tong to treat her?"
"He's talking about Lady Tong?" Mrs. Xu looked at the servants around her again.
The people who heard it also looked at each other in confusion, and finally nodded hesitantly and said: "What I heard, it seems that it was Lady Tong."
Mrs. Xu's originally gloomy eyes instantly burst into light of hope, and she urged in a voice: "Then what are you all still doing? Why don't you hurry up and change my clothes for me?"
While Hanqiao ordered his servants to prepare hot water and clothes, he sent Xiangmei to go ahead and ask Mo Ze secretly about the situation.
The relationship between the master and his wife is already tense. If there is any misunderstanding, it will be even more difficult to reconcile.
After Hanqiao wiped Mrs. Xu's body with hot water, Xiangmei came back from the front.
She left the matter of changing to others, came out and asked in a low voice: "How was it?"
"Sister Hanqiao, Mo Ze said that Madam Tong has indeed been found, but Madam Tong refuses to visit the doctor. The master plans to take his wife to see a doctor at home."
After Xiangmei finished speaking, she couldn't help but sigh. If Madam knew about this, she might be angry again.
There is nothing I can do about it. Now I can only take one step at a time.
In the room, Ms. Xu changed her clothes and even asked someone to comb her hair into a simple bun. She tied up her hair that had been loose for more than half a month, and she seemed much more energetic.
"Hanqiao, I've packed everything here. Go and ask quickly, is Lady Tong here?"
Hanqiao had no choice but to go back in, send all the other maids out, knelt down in front of Mrs. Xu and said, "Madam, I have something to tell you. Please don't be angry."
Mrs. Xu frowned and asked, "What kind of song are you singing? Could it be that the master didn't find Mrs. Tong at all, and he was just bluffing me?"
"No." Hanqiao said quickly, "We have indeed found Lady Tong."
"Then why should I be angry? As long as I find Mrs. Tong, my illness will be cured soon."
Mrs. Xu has recently placed almost all her hopes on Mrs. Tong. She has clearly never met her and has no idea where her confidence comes from.
"Mrs. Tong refused to come to see the doctor. The master sent someone to invite her but couldn't come, so I could only take my wife to see the doctor." When Hanqiao spoke, she kept staring at Mrs. Xu's face, and saw her expression suddenly changed. Immediately said quickly, "Madam, don't be anxious. Just listen to what I say. Master has really tried his best on this matter. This Lady Tong, since she has excellent medical skills, must also have some quirks, both left and right. It's in the city, not too far away. Maybe you haven't been out for a few days. It's warm outside now, and many early spring flowers are blooming. It's beautiful. So just go out and relax, okay?
"Besides, what we want is to be cured as soon as possible. If you continue like this, your body will be broken down by this disease.
Even if you are not thinking about yourself, you should think about the second girl and the young master..."
Mrs. Xu sat by the bed with a confused expression, not sure whether she listened to Hanqiao's words.
Hanqiao took a deep breath and was about to give some more advice.
Mrs. Xu suddenly stood up and said, "Okay, needless to say, I'm just going to see a doctor. Just go and ask someone to prepare a car!"
The news that the family had prepared a car to take Xu to see a doctor soon reached Shen Tianshu's ears.
After waiting for Shen Zhonglei to accompany Xu out in person, she also went out through the back door, walked around to the house on Xin'an Street, changed her clothes and went through the secret door.
This was the first time Shen Zhonglei came to Mrs. Tong's house. Although there was a sign of a medical clinic hanging at the door, the courtyard was exquisite everywhere. It didn't look like a medical clinic at all, and it didn't smell like medicine.
However, upon entering the main hall, I saw a brand new medicine cabinet on one wall.
Seeing Shen Zhonglei's eyes wandering on the medicine cabinet, Gao Shan explained: "My wife has just come back, and the hospital is still preparing. Originally, it was not accepting any treatment. Later, I heard that the prefect's wife was sick. Our wife said, Master Shen He is a good and good official, and he still has to accept this consultation, so this is an exception."
Shen Zhonglei thought to himself that he heard the news from the Guo family. Mrs. Guo and Miss Guo had already come to see the patient. At this time, they made an exception. It seems that this Lady Tong may not be what he thought. He is so unsullied from the secular world, maybe he is trying to be mysterious and inflate his worth, right?
Just listen to Gao Shan continue: "Our lady is also in trouble, the big tree attracts the wind. I just gave Miss Guo a follow-up visit today, and the news spread. Just now, Mr. Luo came to ask, has the lady asked the old slave to stop her? See……"
Gao Shan led Shen Zhonglei and his party to the main hall to sit down for a while, then asked people to go to the back to ask Shen Tianshu to come out.
Not long after, Shen Tianshu came out from behind the screen wearing a curtain hat. Although the mask given by Li Zian was very good, she was still worried about being seen through when facing several people from the Shen family at once, so she used the curtain hat again.
Ever since Shen Tianshu entered the room, Mrs. Xu had been staring at her.
Although he had long known that Mrs. Tong never showed her true colors to others, when it was her turn, she still felt displeased no matter how she looked at her.
Why should a doctor be so secretive and sneaky?
But now that she had someone to ask for, she could only swallow her dissatisfaction.
"Who is the patient? Please sit over here." Shen Tianshu sat down behind the table and watched Hanqiao help Mrs. Xu to sit opposite him.
Hanqiao was about to briefly introduce her condition, but Mrs. Xu said nothing and directly put her arm on the pulse pillow.
"Ms. Tong is very skilled in medicine, so there is no need for you to talk too much."
Doctors pay attention to seeing, hearing and asking questions when treating patients. Why don't you allow questions?
Shen Tianshu knew that she was deliberately making things difficult for him, but he was not annoyed at all. He put three fingers on Xu's wrist, flicked and pressed it a few times, then withdrew his hand, picked up a silk handkerchief from the side, and wiped his fingers. .
Xu's eyes widened instantly. Just as he was about to have a seizure, he heard a calm voice coming from the other side.
"Mrs. Shen, has she been unable to sleep during the day recently? She has trouble sleeping at night. She feels weak all over, has palpitations and is forgetful. She has a loss of appetite and often suffers from abdominal distension and diarrhea?
"But my mood fluctuates greatly. I will suddenly become irritable and want to yell to relieve myself. Then I will suddenly become pessimistic. I can't muster the energy or interest in anything, and I want to not want anyone. Take care of yourself so that you can secretly cry alone?"
After Shen Tianshu finished speaking, Xu and Hanqiao were stunned.
This, this is too accurate!
