Chapter XXII
The sun was setting, the room was getting dark, and the last glimmer of light slowly disappeared with a few hot cicadas in the courtyard.
The house was lit up as if it were daytime.
Lu Shuyi just lowered her eyebrows and looked at her toes, but did not explain.
Seeing that Lu Shuyi didn't speak, and Yang was also by her side, Mrs. Lu couldn't say any more reproaches, so she only said, "That's it, let's listen to what the doctor has to say first!" ”
Under the candlelight, the doctor was dressed in a light brown robe, and his forehead was covered with sweat. Letting go of the Chinese medicine bowl, he looked embarrassed, and his lips were pursed: "This ......"
"Doctor Zhou, is there something wrong with this medicine?" Grandmother Yang's voice was a little harsh, and her brows were furrowed into Sichuan characters.
Dr. Zhou lowered his eyebrows, and there was doubt in his eyes.
This medicine was prescribed by him, and when he prescribed it, it was mainly based on warm supplements, and a few dehumidifying herbs were added. But these dehumidifying herbs are all warm herbs, and they do not have the smell of yellow vine.
He didn't dare to say anything, and the wrinkles on his forehead seemed to be a little heavier under the candlelight.
There was silence in the room for a while, and Mrs. Lu's eyes swept over the maids who were waiting beside her: "All retreat first." ”
After the person withdrew, she took two steps forward and asked in a deep voice, "Doctor Zhou, but what's wrong with this medicine?" ”
Doctor Zhou sighed and arched his hand: "Old lady, this prescription is indeed prescribed by my second wife, it was originally just a warm and tonic medicine, and it is okay for cats to eat it, but ......" He looked embarrassed, and stopped talking.
"Doctor Zhou, what the hell is going on?" Yang's face was already cold at this moment, and his gaze was even more fierce under the candlelight.
Doctor Zhou glanced at Yang's, and then said: "This medicine has an extra taste of yellow vine, although yellow vine is also a dehumidifying medicine, but it is very poisonous, and the second wife's physique is absolutely useless." When the second wife uses such a medicine, not only will she not be able to get better, but over time, she will be weak and sick, and finally she will be weakened and ...... And die......"
The last few words Dr. Zhou didn't dare to say too much, so he could only spit them out softly from his mouth.
But the people present were still frightened, and their faces were different.
Yang clenched his teeth, his eyes were red as if he could drip blood, and his voice suddenly rose, and said, "Doctor Zhou may find out how long the second wife has been taking this medicine?" Still...... Can it be cured or not? ”
That week, the doctor lowered his eyebrows and hissed, and said ashamedly: "Please forgive the old lady for my lack of medical skills, and I have been checking the pulse for the second wife for so many years, but I have not found any problems." The person who used the medicine is very cautious, the amount is small, it is not easy to detect, and the effect is similar to the several dehumidifying drugs I prescribed......"
Speaking of this, He couldn't help but sigh and said: "No wonder, according to what you said, it is indeed the person who gave the medicine carefully, not that you are not skilled in medicine." ”
"Ashamed, ashamed......"
Mrs. Lu's face was very ugly, as if she was covered with a black cloth. In front of her in-laws, such a thing happened, where did she put the face of the housewife?
"My bitter sister, who is so vicious that he wants to harm her so much." Aunt An couldn't help crying and started crying.
Lu Shuyi is cold in her heart, she is really good at acting, and she can act so calmly, it is really amazing.
Old Mrs. Lu glared at Aunt An, and said coldly: "You are in charge of the big and small things in this room recently, who is boiling the medicine every day?" ”
Aunt An took out Sumei's handkerchief, wiped the corners of her eyes gently, and replied: "It's the second wife's dowry maid Fu'er, she is very proper, and she is the wife's dowry, so this matter shouldn't be her." ”
The word 'marriage' was deliberately accentuated in her voice, which seemed to be intentionally pointing out the relationship between Fu'er and the Wu family, and specifically pulling Fu'er and the Wu family together.
Yang Shi was stunned for a moment, and immediately said coldly: "Fu'er is indeed married, since it is a marriage, when she arrives at the Lu family, it is naturally the Lu family, there is nothing that cannot be doubted, the old lady just asked." ”
"Where's she?" Mrs. Lu scolded.
"Waiting outside." Only then did Lu Shuyi open her mouth and present the bag of things: "Grandmother, this is something that the girl who watched the fire in the kitchen turned out of the Fu'er room, please look at it for a long time." ”
Mrs. Lu hesitated for a while, and He had already taken the things, quickly opened them and handed them to Mrs. Lu: "Mother, look." ”
Mrs. Lu only glanced at it, and her face became worse and worse.
Aunt An's eyes swept over the herbs in the red envelope, her eyebrows jumped, and she was panicked for a moment. Fortunately, she handled it very well, and if she didn't look closely, she wouldn't be able to notice it at all.
"Herbal ......" Yang's voice trembled slightly, and he called Doctor Zhou: "Doctor, look at it, what kind of herb is this?" ”
Doctor Zhou lowered his head and stepped forward, picked up a piece and looked at it, sniffed it again, and affirmed: "This medicine is yellow vine, which is the same as the yellow vine in the second wife's medicine." ”
"Do you recognize that?" He raised his eyebrows and asked again: "Don't admit that you are mistaken." ”
Doctor Zhou smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "If the eldest lady doesn't believe it, you can find the doctor to come in and see." ”
"No need." Old Mrs. Lu calmed down at this time, and her voice was calm: "Thank you." At the same time, he instructed the big girl on his side, Le'er, to send Dr. Zhou out.
As soon as Doctor Zhou left, Mrs. Lu handed the yellow vine to the Yang family, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said, "Since Fu'er is married, then you should interrogate her!" ”
Lu Shuyi sneered in her heart, she was really cunning, at this time, she kicked this thorny ball on her grandmother, for fear of hurting the face of the Lu family.
But the Yang family is not such an easy person to be handled, and immediately pushed the medicine bag to Mrs. Lu with a smile: "You can't drive me away?" ”
Mrs. Lu was stunned for a moment, and He Shi hurriedly smiled and said, "You think about it too much, my mother just thinks that since the person is from the Wu family, it is appropriate for you to come to trial." ”
Yang smiled faintly and said, "What does the eldest lady mean is that our Lianxue is not the Lu family?" ”
Lu Shuyi praised in her heart that her relationship with her grandmother was not close in her previous life, so she didn't know that her grandmother was actually quite powerful.
After a few words, the Lu family was obviously unreasonable. It's not that easy to put aside the relationship.
He originally wanted to round the field for his mother-in-law and get a good one. Who knows, instead of getting things done, they made a mess. At this moment, she seemed to be biting Coptis chinensis in her mouth, she couldn't spit it out, she couldn't swallow it, she could only smile and say: "Don't think so, my younger brother and sister married into the Lu family, naturally it is the Lu family, and this family has never treated her as an outsider." ”
"Since this is the case, the Lu family will naturally deal with the crime of Lianxue's people." Yang's voice was a little difficult, his eyes were clear, and he said, "I only have such a daughter, and I ask the old lady to make decisions for her." ”
