Mrs. Gao frowned: "What does it look like to be frivolous and irritable!"
The maid's feet were unsteady and she fell directly to the ground when she stepped back. Her eyes when looking at Gao were still full of shock and horror.
"Madam, your, your face!"
"What's wrong with my face?" Gao raised his hand and touched it, but suddenly noticed that the touch under his hand was a little weird.
The originally smooth skin now felt lumpy and rough to the touch.
Her heart sank immediately.
At this time, the attention of everyone at the table was also attracted. When they saw Gao's appearance at this time, they were all shocked on the spot.
Sensing that something was wrong in the atmosphere, Mr. Gao panicked and turned to Ye Heng for help: "Master, I——"
Ye Heng's eyelids twitched.
Dense red rashes suddenly appeared on Gao's face and neck at some point!
Gao felt itchy on her face inexplicably and couldn't help but reach out and scratch it.
The area where it was scratched immediately grew flat pimples at a speed visible to the naked eye. They were dark red and purple in color and looked very eye-catching.
The hairs all over Ye Heng's body stood up, and he immediately took two steps back and stayed far away, as if the Gao family at this time was something unclean, for fear of being contaminated.
"Come here! Send Madam back to her room!"
Mrs. Gao didn't know what happened, but she heard that Ye Heng was going to drive her away, and she panicked.
She also touched the uneven marks on her face, and her voice was trembling: "I, I - how could this happen!"
It was okay if he didn't touch it, but the more he touched it, the more itchy he became. A terrible itch like ants crawling over him came over him, forcing Gao to scratch his face harder and harder.
This scene looks really weird.
Ye Heng felt deeply embarrassed—how many colleagues were present! If they see such a scene, they don’t know how they will spread it privately!
He sternly scolded the maid: "Why are you still standing there in a daze!"
The maid hurriedly got up from the ground, quickly glanced at Gao's appearance at this time, her heart was numb, and she shrank forward.
However, before she could touch Mrs. Gao, a gentle and clear female voice suddenly came.
"Is Second Aunt suffering from an emergency?"
Mrs. Gao raised his head in panic, and met a pair of dark and warm eyes.
"How about asking Dr. Zhang to take a look?"
This sound reminded Ye Heng, and he immediately shouted hurriedly: "Mr. Zhang!"
…
Gao finally went to the side hall, followed by Dr. Zhang and others.
Because he still had to entertain the remaining guests, Ye Heng did not follow.
However, this small episode has already caused subtle changes in the atmosphere at the table.
Xiao Wu sat next to Ye Chutang, tilted his head and glanced in the direction of the side hall, his eyes seemed timid.
Ye Chutang touched her little face and comforted her in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, Xiaowu. Second Aunt just had something happen to her suddenly. It shouldn't be a serious problem."
When many people heard this sentence, they recalled the red, swollen, and rashy look on Mr. Gao's face just now. Looking at the carefully prepared dishes, they really lost their appetite.
Who would have thought that such a thing would happen?
Ye Heng felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
Although Mrs. Gao was not from a high family and was a little family, she was lucky to be pretty and well-maintained. She can still see some of her youthful beauty. Ye Shixian followed her and became beautiful.
I originally thought that today's family dinner would be a good way to build relationships, but who knew that something like this would happen!
What does this make others think?
I'm so embarrassed!
…
In the side hall, Mrs. Gao saw herself in the mirror and was so frightened that she stepped back.
"W-what's going on!? Why did my face look like this!?"
She panicked and turned around to hold Ye Shixian's hand tightly.
"Xian'er! Xian'er!"
Ye Shixian's eyes flashed, and she quietly broke away from her hand, holding the handkerchief and patting her arm.
"Mom, don't worry, Doctor Zhang is here, please ask him to take a look at you."
Gao finally managed to calm down, but her heart was still pounding.
When she thought of the ghostly face she saw in the mirror just now, she felt like dying!
Ye Shixian took a step back and made room for Dr. Zhang: "Sorry to trouble you."
Doctor Zhang stepped forward to diagnose Gao's pulse. He pondered for a long time and frowned more and more.
"It seems like poisoning, but I've never seen it before... Madam, have you eaten anything you shouldn't have eaten before? Or touched anything you shouldn't have touched?"
Gao's mind was confused: "No!"
She has been busy with the family dinner today and has done nothing else!
Doctor Zhang looked hesitant: "This... will you think about it again?"
Gao suddenly thought of something——
"Ye Chutang! It must be her!"
Doctor Zhang was startled: "What?"
Gao was angrily: "I haven't done anything today, I just touched her hand just now. If it hadn't been for her, she would have been——"
"Mother." Ye Shixian immediately interrupted her and quickly glanced at Doctor Zhang.
This is in front of outsiders, how can you say it so straightforwardly!
"Mom, maybe you remember it wrong? There are many people in the house today. Did you not pay attention to it? Did you touch something dirty?"
Doctor Zhang looked at his nose and heart, but he pretended he didn't hear anything.
The Ye family is not as close to the niece they finally found, as they appear on the surface.
An orphan girl is indeed easy to bully. Even if the dirty water is poured directly on her head, she has no other choice.
But... Prince Dingbeihou is right here!
Who couldn't tell in his words just now that he meant to protect Ye Chutang and his siblings!
Isn't it stupid to offend Ye Chutang now because of a Gao family?
Doctor Zhang stroked his beard and asked, "Zhang's medical skills are limited, and I have never seen you in a situation like this. How about I prescribe a prescription and you can use it first? Otherwise, please ask someone else?"
…
Something went wrong with Mrs. Gao, and the family banquet couldn't go on in the middle.
No one had any intention of staying any longer, and soon some people stood up to leave.
Ye Heng originally wanted to persuade him to stay, but he also knew in his heart that he didn't want to stay here any longer. Besides, the Gao family still didn't know what was going on, and he was also very upset.
The meal that was prepared so hard was wasted.
Ye Heng suppressed the fire in his heart and saw off the guests in person.
Xu Fengchi came to Ye Chutang again. There were many words stuck in his throat, but he didn't know how to speak.
Today's situation, it is not difficult to get a glimpse of Ye Chutang's situation in Ye Mansion.
Although he could help, he couldn't keep watch day and night.
In the end, he had to say: "I just came back. Take a good rest and recuperate. Come and sit at home when you have time. You are always welcome."
Ye Chutang knelt down and saluted: "Uncle Xu is worried about me."
Xu Rongqing took a few steps, then turned back, looked at Ye Chutang, and said, "Take care, sister Chutang."
Ye Chutang's lips curved slightly and he nodded gently: "I know."
When the Xu family's carriage drove away, Ye Chutang heard a familiar sound of footsteps behind him.
She turned around and said, "Congratulations to the Crown Prince."
Shen Yanchuan, who had not yet stepped out of the door with one foot: "..."
He just made a few inquiries about Ye Heng's house before he caught up with this scene and was eagerly seen off.
"Dr. Ye has just returned to Beijing and there has been a lot of turmoil. If you need help, please feel free to ask."
Ye Chutang looked at him.
Can these disturbances cause as much trouble as him?
She politely declined and handed over the carved nanmu box: "Thank you, Your Majesty, but you have already paid the medical fee before, so you don't owe me anything. You'd better take this thank you gift back."
Shen Yanchuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
"How could it be? It was really hard for Dr. Ye to take care of his younger brothers and sisters by himself before, and he also had to treat me as a patient. I should just say thank you."
Ye Chutang: "..."
Lian Zhou looked down at the ground and wrinkled his nose.
No, I feel a little sour for no reason...
"Ye Chutang!"
A figure rushed towards this side, but it was Ye Mingze.
His face was full of anger, he pointed at Ye Chutang and said angrily:
"It's you!"
