Chapter 356: There is also a backhand
"Old lady, don't say that, Mu Mu will definitely be fine."
"Yes, old lady, Mu Mu said that you have to take care of it now, but you can't think too much."
The words of relief came one after another, but the old lady could not listen to it.
"How long has it been since this been, why hasn't the doctor who went to ask for it come yet?"
"It's coming, it's coming, the doctor is coming."
The doctor came, but to Mrs. Rong's disappointment, this doctor was also the same as the previous doctor, and she couldn't see what was wrong with Lin Mumu at all, so she only asked them to ask for another high-level job.
Then I invited several doctors in a row, and they all said the same thing.
That night, Mrs. Rong coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell into a coma.
"Lord, lady, you must save the old lady......"
At night, Rong Shifan and others went to see the old lady, and Mama Huang knelt in front of several people and cried sadly.
Rong Shifan frowned. "What's the situation on Mu Mu's side, can't the doctor see anything?"
"Yes, many doctors have come to see it, but they only said that Miss Biao may be too tired and tired, and she prescribed a few prescriptions, and Miss Cousin did not see any improvement after taking the medicine." Mama Huang cried.
"If you want to talk about medical skills, looking at the whole of Xijing, who is better than Mu Mu, but Mu Mu has become like this now, how can it be good......" Mrs. Rong twisted her handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes.
"yes, that's good." Second Lady Rong also sighed.
"Sir, madam, there is a woman outside the door who claims to be Miss Cousin's maid who asks to see her."
"Miss Cousin's maid?"
"Yes."
Rong Shifan said: "Bring her in." ”
"Yes."
Soon, Qiaoqiao was taken to the house by the maid.
"The slave and maid are clever to Mrs. Rong, and Master Rong asks for peace."
"Is it your Mu Mu's maid?"
"Yes."
"What are you seeing us for?"
Qiaoqiao took out a cloth bag from her body and opened it, and inside were two palm-sized black lacquered wooden boxes.
"The slave is here to send something to the eldest lady."
Rong Shifan looked at the two wooden boxes. "What is this?"
Qiaoqiao pointed to one of the wooden boxes and said: "What is in this box is the spice that the eldest lady asked the slave maid to prepare for the old lady, and the eldest lady said that as long as this spice is burned in the old lady's house, the old lady will wake up in less than three days." ”
Qiaoqiao's words made everyone present stunned.
Second Mrs. Rong couldn't help but say, "What kind of spice is this, so powerful?" ”
Qiao Qiao said: "Mrs. Hui's words, this spice seems ordinary, but in fact, the eldest lady is made from eighty-one medicinal materials according to Mrs. Rong's physical condition. ”
Second Mrs. Rong was stunned when she heard this, and then pulled the corners of her lips with a somewhat stiff face. "Well, that's great, so that the old lady's illness can be saved."
Rong Shifan nodded without changing his face and pointed to another box. "And what's in there?"
"This is the soul-reviving incense made by the eldest lady in the past."
"Soul Healing?"
"Yes, the slave maid was also found from the eldest lady's medicine cabinet after learning about the eldest lady's situation, the eldest lady had treated a patient before, and the situation was the same as the eldest lady's now, and the eldest lady used this soul incense to cure people at that time."
"Oh? That...... It's a coincidence. ”
"These two incense sticks only need to be burned in the house of Mrs. Rong and Miss Rong for three days, and the old lady and Miss can wake up, but ......"
"But what?" Second Mrs. Rong subconsciously spoke, and after she finished speaking, she felt a little inappropriate, so she pulled the corners of her lips and explained, "Do you still need anything?" ”
Qiaoqiao shook her head.
"The slave maid remembers that the eldest lady once said that these two kinds of incense cannot be broken after they are burned, and if they are broken halfway, not only will they not achieve the effect, but they will also kill the patient!"
When the words fell, the expressions of the people present were different.
"After this incense is burned, it must be watched, and nothing can go wrong." Rong Shifan said to Mrs. Rong.
"Yes."
After Mrs. Rong made the arrangement, Qiaoqiao personally took the wooden box and put the incense inside into the gluttonous incense tripod with gold wire, and then lit the incense foam with a stick of incense. Hua Heng College
In a moment, white smoke drifted out of the incense burner and scattered throughout the room.
"The eldest lady said that the smoke will automatically go to the person, in order not to affect the effect, please hold back during the incense burning process."
Rong Shifan nodded and asked everyone to retreat from the house.
"This incense will be burned for three days, and we don't need to wait here, I will send someone to guard it in a while, and we will all disperse." Rong Shifan said to everyone.
Everyone leaves, if you force yourself to stay here, you will only be suspicious, Second Lady Rong glanced at Rong Jin and then both exited Old Lady Rong's courtyard.
As soon as the two returned to their courtyard, their faces sank.
"This Lin Mumu, I didn't expect her to keep such a hand!" Second Mrs. Rong was so angry that she thought that the matter was about to be done, but who knew that she would come up with a clever trick halfway!
Rong Jin's face was also very bad. "Mother, what should I do, if that incense is really useful, then everything we did before will be wasted!"
Second Mrs. Rong wrinkled her eyebrows and remained silent.
"What are you mother and daughter muttering in the room, and the door is so tightly closed?" While the two mothers and daughters were talking, Rong Shichang, the second master of Rong, pushed the door and walked in.
Rong Shichang wore a blue-gray straight robe, and his tone of voice was three points serious, but there was always a hint of a smile on his face, all these years he has been taking care of the Rong family's business in Xijing, even if he is angry, there will be a faint smile on his face, and many opponents who have been pitted by him call him a smiling tiger.
As Rong Shichang's wife, Second Mrs. Rong is well aware of Rong Shichang's temperament, and the mother and daughter did that thing behind her back, and now that I think about it, Second Mrs. Rong is also a little flustered, so when she looks at Rong Shichang's eyes, her eyes are a little evasive.
"No, it's nothing, what can we say, it's just that we're worried about the old lady's situation."
"Mother, you better tell your father." Rong Jin suddenly said that although Rong Shichang is a scheming person, he is very good to Rong Jin's daughter, and he has been spoiled in front of Rong Shichang since he was a child, and Rong Jin is not as careful as Mrs. Rong.
Rong Shichang is a typical smiling lip, when he frowned slightly but the corners of his lips rose to look at Mrs. Rong, Mrs. Rong only felt that her scalp was a little numb.
"What did you mother and daughter do to hide from me?"
Rong Jin stepped forward to close the door and told her what she had done to Mrs. Rong.
Rong Shichang didn't have much surprise on his face after hearing this, but said: "You are not small in courage, so you are not afraid of being discovered?" ”
Seeing that Rong Shichang didn't mean to blame, Second Mrs. Rong exhaled in her heart.
"Master, I, we are also for you, you have done so much for the Rong family over the years, but in the end, the family is going to be separated, the old lady actually used five thousand taels of silver to send us, who knows how many good things she will give to the uncle behind her back, otherwise why would the uncle's family not say a word?"
"Yes, Dad, you and Da Bocha are only born later than him, you are not better than Da Bo, look at the business of Xijing is well organized by you, if you want me to say that the family business of the Rong family should be inherited by your father, I am afraid that it will not be long before the Rong family declines in the hands of others." Rong Jin also helped.
Rong Shichang did not refute the words of the two, or the words of the two entered his heart.
He has been smarter than Rong Shifan since he was a child, and he began to read and write at the age of three, but because he is younger than Rong Shifan, the Rong family, is close to Rong Shifan, the eldest son, in everything, he has long been unhappy in his heart.
"Now that this is the case, what are you going to do next?" After a moment of silence, Rong Shifan slowly spoke.
Second Mrs. Rong's mother and daughter glanced at each other, and Second Mrs. Rong hurriedly said: "We can't think of any good way, the people who are guarding outside now are all people sent by the big house, if we intervene and something happens at that time, I am afraid that it will arouse their suspicion." ”
Rong Shichang paced two steps in the room with his hands behind his back, and then stopped to look at Mrs. Rong. "Jin'er, you go back and rest first, I have something to say to your mother."
Rong Jin knew that Rong Shichang didn't want to participate, and after responding well-behaved, he withdrew.
After going out, she didn't leave immediately, but stood under the window and eavesdropped, and after hearing what Rong Shichang said to Mrs. Rong clearly, she turned around and went back to her room with a satisfied smile on her face.
The incense foam has been burned for two days, and during this time, except for Qiaoqiao, who went in to check the burning of the incense foam, no one else entered the house where Lin Mumu and the others were.
As the night wore on, the maid who stood guard outside the door yawned.
Qiaoqiao walked out of the house after checking the burning of the incense foam.
"Qiaoqiao girl, it's not too early, you go and rest, we are here to guard."
Qiaoqiao nodded. "Okay."
In the middle of the night, the entire Rong Mansion fell into a silence wrapped in darkness.
At this moment, a dark disgust emerged from the courtyard of the old lady, and within a moment, a panicked cry sounded in the courtyard.
"It's water, come on, the old lady's yard is water!"
"Quick, go fetch water to put out the fire!"
Because she was afraid that someone would get in the way, Mrs. Rong cleared out most of the people in Mrs. Rong's yard, leaving only the four maids guarding the door and Mama Huang and Qiaoqiao, and there were only six people guarding the huge courtyard.
It was Mama Huang who got up at night to find out that something was wrong, and when she found out that something was wrong, she ran to the yard and shouted, and the smoke from the backyard poured to the front in an instant.
"Quick, find someone to put out the fire." Mama Huang calmly asked the maid to call someone.
"Mama is not good, the fire is about to burn to the old lady's house." The maid who went to fetch water to extinguish the fire shouted anxiously.
"What?" Mama Huang's face changed. "This, what can I do about this......" Qiaoqiao said that after the incense foam began to burn, it must be burned for three days without breaking, otherwise it will be bad, but now the fire is almost burning into the old lady's house, if you don't go in to save people, the old lady will also be in danger.
"Mama, what should I do?"
Mama Huang gritted her teeth with a tense face and said, "Go in and save people!" ”
