Chapter 30: Terminally Ill
Shen Ruohua took a small brocade box from Qingmei's hand and sent it to Jiang's hand, and smiled slightly: "It's also a coincidence, I met a You Fanglang when I was in Baoding Mansion, he is good at treating some incurable diseases, and he also has some prescriptions in his hand, this is a pill he made to treat carbuncles, I heard that it has some effect, why don't you give the old lady a try, maybe it can be used."

Jiang Shihu looked at the medicine box sent over suspiciously, and couldn't understand why the third lady had specially sent this medicine to her house, but she couldn't think of any malicious intent Shen Ruohua could have. She thought about the old lady's current appearance, but she was afraid that even if she invited Lu Yuan to see her again, she was afraid that the medicine would not be any better, maybe this pill could be of some use.
She bit her lip, reached out to take the medicine box, and got up to give Shen Ruohua a blessing: "Thank you to the third lady for the concubine." ā
Shen Ruohua got up, let her salute, and chuckled: "I also have something to ask for Xu Yi, not for nothing." She said to Jiang, "Since you are here, let's go and meet the old lady, it is also a little bit of my heart." "I don't want to say more.
Jiang Shi frowned, a little embarrassed: "It's not that I don't want to let Madam go, it's just that the old lady is ......really sick now" She couldn't tell Shen Ruohua, now the old lady has a carbuncle and pus, and she has to cough up thick phlegm and pus blood from time to time, the bloody phlegm is really fishy, which makes people feel sick, even Jiang Shi can't stay for a long time every time she comes to serve, not to mention that Shen Ruohua, a lady of the Hou Mansion, is delicate and expensive.
Shen Ruohua pursed her lips and smiled: "It's okay, it's just to see." ā
Jiang couldn't imagine that Shen Ruohua insisted on seeing the old lady, but it seemed that she came to visit the old lady sincerely, but he didn't know what she was asking for. It's just that since she didn't say it, the Jiang family was used to being a person, and she knew that it must have something to do with Jinyiwei's affairs, so she didn't ask any more, got up and said with a smile: "Then please ask Madame to come with me, the old lady is resting in the backyard." ā
The courtyard where Xu Liu lives is the cleanest and most comfortable place in the whole Xu Mansion, looking at the simple and inconspicuous Xu Mansion, the wing room of this courtyard is burning with the ground dragon, and the girl opens the thick felt curtain, and a warmth comes to her face.
Jiang Shi led Shen Ruohua into the room, turned back to her with a smile and said, "Madame, please come in, the old lady is resting in it." ā
Before she finished speaking, she heard a hoarse and weak cough from the side room, and the girls went in with a basin and a clean hand towel, the smile on Jiang's face disappeared, and she sighed and said: "I coughed again, I coughed day and night, and I couldn't sleep well for even an hour." ā
Shen Ruohua frowned slightly, and looked at the bead curtain hanging behind the screen: "Go and take a look." ā
Seeing her say this, Jiang Shi didn't want to say more, so he took her to the inside, opened the bead curtain and said, "Madame, please come in." ā
It's just that before the person came to the front, the stench like rotten fish meat came to her nose, and even Jiang Shi had to turn her face away and gently cover her mouth and nose with her sleeves, but when she looked at Shen Ruohua, she was surprised to find that this Hou Mansion lady seemed to be completely unaware, and did not hide and retreat at all, but frowned and went inside.
The windows in the inner room were closed, and it was very dim because it was daylight, but there were lamps and candles. Through the heavy curtains, a figure can be faintly seen on the innermost bed, lying on the couch and coughing violently, and the little girls are waiting in front of them with spittoons and basins, with a worried look.
Jiang couldn't care about covering his mouth and nose at this time, so he stepped forward quickly, took the handkerchief in the little girl's hand, patted his mother-in-law Xu Liu's back and wiped her face, and her movements were meticulous and considerate.
"Mu Yin, you're here...... Xu Liu's cough was so strong that he leaned softly on Jiang's body, "It's filthy here, you let them serve ......" said and coughed again.
Jiang's eyes were slightly red, and he said softly: "Mother is sick, I should be waiting in front of me, where to use them." She glanced at Shen Ruohua, who was looking at their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with deep and dark eyes, "The third lady of the Marquis of Guangping has come to see you." ā
Xu Liu raised his eyes weakly to look at Shen Ruohua, his dim eyes couldn't see the appearance of a real person, and whispered: "Third lady? This is not the county ......" Before he finished speaking, he woke up in shock, turned his face and said to Jiang, "Why did you bring guests here, it's too filthy, don't be lazy." ā
Shen Ruohua took a few steps forward and smiled slightly with Xu Liu: "Old lady, I heard that you are not in good health, I will come to see you." Her eyes were carefully looking at Xu Liu's complexion and sanity.
Xu Liu is only forty years old, but he has been tormented by pulmonary carbuncle and lost his shape, there is a strange flush on his high raised cheekbones, his body in a thick robe is thin and boneless, leaning on Jiang's body and coughing incessantly, and what he spit out is already thick phlegm with a foul smell like rice porridge, and there is dark red blood in the sputum.
Shen Ruohua slowly retracted his gaze, it seemed that Xu Liu's illness had not been delayed for too long, but he was afraid that his lungs had shrunken. No matter how good the medicine is, it can only be delayed, and it is difficult to cure.
Although Xu Liu was not from an official family, he also knew that the person in front of him was the wife of the prince's mansion, and squeezed out a smile: "It's a joke for Mrs...... My body is really ...... It didn't help, it dragged them down. ā
Jiang Shi said in a low voice: "What is Mother talking about, it will definitely get better." ā
Sure enough, as the news sent to the palace said, Xu Mian and Jiang are both filial people, and they are very dedicated to Xu Liu. Shen Ruohua smiled, in this way, they would definitely not refuse themselves and agree to this deal.
