Ji Shu raised his hand and grabbed her wrist, pushing her back rudely. Li stumbled and hit the screen.
"If mother-in-law has something to say, just say it nicely. No matter how hard you slap her, I don't want to get a slap in the face."
"You, you, you, how dare you talk to me like this! I am your mother-in-law!"
"Stop arguing!"
Wu Dinghou interrupted Li's behavior with a roar, and said seriously: "Brother Xing's illness is very important. No one is allowed to mess around until the matter is clear!"
Ji Shu walked around the four-fold screen and came to Qi Jinxing's bed. He was lying on the bed like a vegetable, his little body curled up and sweating profusely.
"Brother, what's going on?"
"You still have the nerve to ask!" Mrs. Li lowered her voice, with a ferocious look on her face, "It's not like you deliberately gave Brother Xing the wrong food! You Ji Shu, you are so cruel, for such an unknown person The bastard actually harmed Xu'er's biological son!"
Ji Shu raised his hand to interrupt her and chuckled, "Mother-in-law, don't rush to convict me. Let's make it clear first. When did I intentionally give him food? I've been busy these days and the children haven't been here yet." I met you a few times, Xitao——"
"The young madam is right! Our madam didn't give Brother Xing anything to eat at all! The food for the two brothers is prepared in the kitchen, so there is no need for the young madam to give personal orders!"
Mrs. Li: "You master and servant are colluding with each other! Mother Chun! Come and tell me!"
Chun's mother, who was standing aside, walked forward slowly, glanced at Ji Shu and said, "Young madam, you have been secretly asking Brother Xing to study at her place these past two days, and she always thinks that Brother Xing has not done well in his studies. It's in the palm of my hand! The old slave dare not speak a word."
"Last night, the young lady called Miss Xitao and brought Brother Xing such a bowl of soup, and she even let Brother Xing drink it all. Brother Xing had vomiting and diarrhea that night after drinking it, and this morning he was even crawling. Can’t get up…”
"How dare you slander young madam!" Xitao rushed forward, grabbed Chun's mother and slapped her twice, sending her hiding all over the room.
She kept shouting: "I didn't slander the young lady! If you don't believe me, please ask me!"
Wu Dinghou looked at Ji Shu coldly, "Brother Xing said when he woke up just now that you asked someone to bring her a bowl of soup last night."
Qi Chengxu clenched his teeth and tensed his cheeks as he stepped forward and grabbed Ji Shu's wrist.
"Tell me the truth about what you gave Brother Xing, and then bring out the antidote. I will let this matter go."
Ji Shu lowered his eyes and glanced at the wrist he had pinched, and said coldly: "Let go."
Qi Chengxu didn't move, so Ji Shu pulled out the hairpin from his head and poked his tendon.
Li rushed forward and separated the two.
"Ms. Ji, what are you doing! You are so lawless! You just hurt Brother Xing and you want to hurt Xu'er again! I must repay Shuntian Mansion for arresting you today! You evil woman!"
Qi Chengxu was furious: "Ji Shu, you are crazy!"
Ji Shu's expression remained unchanged as he raised his hand and elegantly inserted the hairpin back into his bun.
"I was called here for no reason and was slandered. Anyone would be unhappy. It's okay to go to Shuntian Mansion. As long as my mother-in-law and the Marquis are not afraid of embarrassment, we will go to Shuntian Mansion now."
A look of fear flashed in Chun's mother's eyes, and she ran behind Mrs. Li and said, "Madam, don't believe her! The most important thing right now is to cure Brother Xing! Today is the day of the Imperial College exam!"
"Ji Shu! What on earth did you feed Brother Xing!" Mrs. Qi slapped the crutch in her hand and coughed until her face turned red.
"Our lady didn't give him anything to eat! I don't know!"
Xitao protected Ji Shu and said loudly.
Li's eyes turned black and she was about to slap her when the doctor finally came.
"Quick! Disperse quickly and call the doctor to see Brother Xing first! Is the bowl of sea food from last night still there? Get it quickly!"
The atmosphere in the room was tense. The doctor calmly exchanged looks with Ji Shu. Ji Shu lowered his eyes and wrapped his fingers in a silk handkerchief. He seemed to be playing, but in fact he quietly waved his hand to the doctor. The doctor glanced at him. Understanding from heart.
A group of people stood on both sides of the bed, nervously waiting for the results from the doctor.
The doctor of the government looked around, heard and heard everything, and then examined the sea bowl, stood up and shook his head.
"Please forgive me, Lord Marquis, but my research on the Xiaofang pulse is really not good. I can't see what kind of disease Master Xing is suffering from, and it's really difficult to prescribe the right medicine."
Mrs. Qi stepped forward tremblingly, "How could you not see that, Doctor Wen, you came from the Taiyuan Hospital! We did not raise you just to make you a free meal!"
The doctor's expression remained unchanged, "I really can't tell."
Chun's mother was dumbfounded, thinking to herself what kind of magic medicine Jiang Fu gave Qi Jinxing to drink, even the government doctors couldn't find the problem.
Wu Dinghou stood up and came to the door, "Qiao Shu! Take my post and go to the palace quickly to invite another imperial doctor! He must be proficient in the Xiaofang pulse!"
Ji Shu stepped forward and said: "Xitao, you go with the person in charge. If there are many people, go around the Middle East Square. Don't delay. I will wait here for the imperial doctor to clear my name."
Xitao has been with Ji Shu for more than ten years, and they have a tacit understanding. She turned her head quickly and immediately figured out what Ji Shu meant.
"Slave, go now!"
Mrs. Li chased her out: "Manager Qiao! Keep an eye on this girl! Don't let her collude with the imperial doctor!"
Manager Qiao bowed awkwardly and led Xitao away.
Li rolled her eyes at Ji Shu and ran into the house.
Xitao followed Guanshi Qiao, her eyes rolling, and when she saw that he was going to Wu Dinghou's study, she stopped.
"Steward, you go get the post from the Marquis, and I'll call the carriage. I'll be waiting for you at the west corner gate."
"knew."
Xitao got free and ran towards the front yard. There were several people guarding the courtyard from Ji Shu. They could be asked to find a way to block the way.
Xitao ran out of breath, propped up her knees and wiped her sweat, then raised her head——
"D-Uncle!"
Qi Ye was by the corner gate of the front yard, with two horses beside him. Lu Wen was holding the reins and was tired of waiting.
Seeing Xitao running so fast, Qi Ye thought something had happened to Ji Shu and said with a cold face, "Where is Ji Shu?"
"Miss, she...
Xitao quickly summarized the matter, "The young lady probably wants to ask me to find someone to block the road to the Marquis' Mansion."
Ji Shu inexplicably asked her to follow Qiao to take care of things, and also deliberately mentioned the circumnavigation of Zhongzhongfang, which was a hint about the incident of inducing the inspector censor last time.
Xitao was blessed and said, "Master, go and do your work. The servant is also looking for someone."
"You go back and stay with your young lady."
Xitao was stunned.
Qi Ye pulled the reins and climbed onto his horse, turning the horse's head, smiling evilly, "I happen to be passing that road. Go back and tell your lady that she owes me a favor."
Before Xitao could react, Qi Ye had already ridden away on horseback, leaving only billowing dust behind.
While Xitao was struggling, Steward Qiao had already arrived with the post. She had no choice but to go to the Yamen of the Imperial Medical Office with Steward Qiao, picked an imperial physician who specialized in studying the Xiaofang Pulse, and got on the carriage to drive to the Marquis Mansion.
Xitao looked at the street outside through the curtains of the carriage, feeling at a loss for ideas. Just as she was wondering if Qi Ye could make it, the carriage came to an emergency stop.
Manager Qiao: "What's going on!"
Coach driver: "Man in charge, the road ahead is stopped. It's hard to pass!"
