Soon, the boy who went out to buy medicine and the maid who prepared medicine were called to the main room.
When Mrs. Guo asked about buying medicine and boiling it, the boy immediately rushed to explain himself: "The old lady knows it well. I don't know a single big character, so I just go to the drug store to get the medicine with the prescription, unless the drug store grabs the wrong medicine." , The little one has never tampered with anything!"
The maid who cooked the medicine heard the words and said quickly: "Old madam, although this servant is literate, this ten-date soup is different from the other medicines. It is made by decoction of several big dates, grinding the remaining three medicinal materials into fine powder, and directly using big dates. Just take it with jujube soup.
"The three herbs were ground and brought back from the medicine shop. My slave has only made jujube soup in the past two days."
Mrs. Guo thought about it and confirmed that she had been taking the powder with jujube soup for the past two days.
Just when she was about to ask who else had handled these medicinal materials, Shen Tianshu suddenly asked: "My prescription is for three days' supply. The old lady has already taken two pairs. Why don't you give me the third dose?" Will the deputy bring it to check?"
As soon as the maid who prepared the medicine heard this, she immediately said proactively: "Slave, go and get it right now!"
Mrs. Guo waved her hand and said, "Just stay here, I don't need you."
Then she turned around and ordered her personal maid: "Bai Yu, go get the third set of medicine and take a look."
Mr. Guo Si was very anxious at this time, and he pretended to be calm on the surface. He wanted to say something, but he was afraid of losing his words, so he could only swallow it back.
Shen Tianshu had doubts about him before, but when he saw his appearance out of the corner of his eye, he became more and more certain that he had tampered with it.
Not long after, Bai Yu took the last medicine.
Shen Tianshu opened the medicine package in public and saw the amount of medicine in the package. There was no need to weigh it. He immediately saw it and said: "This amount is almost half less!"
Bai Yu is a thoughtful person. Not only did she go over and get the medicine, she also brought back a gun.
She carefully poured the medicine into the cup, and after reading the value, she asked: "What is the dosage of medicine that Mrs. Tong prescribed?"
"Half money!"
Bai Yu's expression changed immediately when he heard this, and he looked at the old lady and said, "Half of the medicine is indeed missing."
"Cough cough cough cough -" Mrs. Guo was just about to say something, but she opened her mouth with a series of violent coughs.
Bai Yu hurried over to help her caress her back.
Mrs. Guo finally stopped coughing and said: "I really didn't expect that there are people in this family with such evil thoughts. Do you not want me to get better?"
Mr. Guo stepped forward in a hurry, knelt on one knee in front of the bed and said, "Mother, please don't think like this. Maybe the drug store got the wrong medicine. My son will ask someone to go to the drug store to confront them."
Shen Tianshu turned to look at Mr. Guo Si and asked: "Sister Guo, you have reached this point and you are still unwilling to tell the truth? Do you have to wait until you have been wronged in the drug store and then everyone in the city knows about it?"
Mr. Guo Si already looked ugly and broke out in a cold sweat.
It's just that he was standing in the corner and everyone's attention was focused on the medicine bag, so no one noticed him.
At this moment, Shen Tianshu suddenly called his name, and everyone in the room immediately focused their attention on him.
The boy and the maid even opened their eyes wide, as if they remembered something.
"Old madam, when I came back from grabbing the medicine that day, I met the fourth master at the door of the kitchen. The fourth master said that my movements were too slow, so he just took the medicine away."
Although he didn't understand why the Fourth Master did this, the boy still spoke quickly to clear himself of the suspicion first.
The maid who prepared the medicine was more thoughtful. She glanced at Mr. Guo Si secretly and hesitated without speaking.
But her hesitation could not escape the old lady's eyes this time.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. There's no need to be afraid of him. Even if I, an old woman, die today, it won't be his turn to take charge of this family."
The maid could only say: "It was indeed the fourth master who brought the medicine package in that day, but he only gave the jujube to the slave, and then sent the slave to make jujube soup. When the slave made the jujube soup and came out, she saw three packages of medicine. They were lined up and placed on the table, and the servant didn’t think much, just took one and sent it over with the jujube soup.”
With the testimony of the boy and the maid, Mr. Guo Si sweated even more, and it kept sliding down his cheeks, gathering at his chin, and then dripping down on his clothes.
Mr. Guo looked at his fourth brother in disbelief and asked, "Fourth brother, does it really have anything to do with you? What on earth is going on?"
Mrs. Guo looked at her most beloved son with a look of disappointment.
Mr. Guo Si finally couldn't help it anymore and fell to his knees with a plop. He walked to the bed with his knees and reached out to grab Mrs. Guo's hand, but she threw it away.
"Mom, you have to believe that my son has absolutely no intention of harming you." Mr. Guo Si's heart dropped when he saw this, and he hurriedly explained, "My son just heard from Dr. Ji that Shizao Decoction is too powerful and can be compared to poison." , I was afraid that your body wouldn’t be able to bear it, so I halved the weight, thinking that I could do it slowly so as not to hurt your body, but who knows..."
Mr. Guo Si, a dignified man of seven feet, could not care less about the presence of outsiders or servants at this moment, and was bursting into tears.
"Mom, my son just did something wrong out of kindness. No matter how you punish him, he won't complain, but you can't misinterpret your son's filial piety -"
Mrs. Guo was almost furious at her younger son.
Is this a sign of filial piety?
Are you afraid that your mother will live a few more years?
Mr. Guo, who had always been kind-hearted, was furious at this time. Before Mrs. Guo could express his stance, he stepped forward and kicked his fourth brother to the ground. He said angrily: "Doctor Ji, Dr. Ji, what kind of ecstasy soup did that woman fill you with?" , is she Medicine King Bodhisattva descending to earth or something like that? Do you just listen to her like that?
"At first I thought that you had been in Changsha Mansion all year round and didn't know Madam Tong's reputation and abilities, so whether you invited Doctor Ji into the mansion or questioned Madam Tong, I can assume that you are worried about your mother and are filial.
"But now that Mrs. Tong's first dose of medicine has a remarkable effect, and you have been watching the whole process, why are you still obsessed with what the woman said and how dare you do such a thing without discussing it with your family? ! Aren’t you afraid that if you don’t do it right, you might harm your mother!”
The more Mr. Guo talked, the angrier he became. Finally, he simply rolled up his sleeves and said loudly: "Come here, kick Dr. Ji out. She will never be allowed to visit my Guo family again!"
"Go to the ancestral hall again and pray for family rituals. Today I want you to grow up and have a good memory!"
"Don't talk about this in a hurry." Mr. Guo Er interrupted, "Ms. Tong, look at the current situation, how can we make up for it? No matter how much money is spent or how much price is paid, as long as the mother can get better, there will be Just ask for anything you want."
