Chapter 16: A Blessing in Disguise

Early the next morning, on the twenty-third day of the lunar month.

Wei Rongruo got up early in the morning. Then he made a few herbs for himself, and let the rue fragrance fry quickly.

After drinking the medicine, she hugged the quilt and lay on the bed again.

It's a small year.

Because he wanted to symbolically have a New Year's dinner in the Wei Mansion, Xiaoyu on Wen's side finally came when it was almost noon.

From the other courtyard to the Wei Mansion, it takes two quarters of an hour. Wen's heart was to let her arrive late for the New Year's dinner.

Unexpectedly, it was a different situation.

"My young lady was frightened and sick last night. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to move right now. Rue Xiang said as she invited Xiaoyu into the room.

Wei Rongruo's face was flushed, and he kept yelling about headaches.

Xiaoyu is also a shrewd person, and first confessed.

Then I touched it, and sure enough, my forehead was a little hot.

"The third lady will raise it first, and I will give it to Mrs., please ask the doctor to take a look."

Wei Rongruo was waiting for this sentence.

If it were in normal times, Xiaoyu would have been fooled by this sentence.

But today is a small year, and when I eat the New Year's dinner, I am the only one who lacks myself.

After last night's incident, Wei Rongruo expected that the Wen family would not dare to be sloppy.

After Xiaoyu left, Rue Xiang was anxious: "Didn't Miss just take medicine?" Why did it burn up? ”

Wei Rongruo pointed his finger at Ruxiang's forehead: "Haven't you heard a saying that 'doctors don't heal themselves'?" ”

Rue nodded incredulously.

But how did she know that Wei Rongruo would burn because of those few herbs.

In the afternoon, it was Li'er who delivered the medicine.

Rue Xiang pulled her into the room, and Li'er put the two packets of medicine on the table, and asked with concern, "Is the third lady better?" ”

Wei Rongruo didn't expect it to be her: "It's much better." Did they all want to play and send you to do this drudgery of running away? ”

Li'er nodded, and then shook her head quickly: "Not either." It was I who wanted to come and see Miss Three. ”

Wei Rongruo half sat on the bed: "How is your mother's illness?" I've heard Rue Xiang say it all. ”

Li'er's eyes reddened: "Thank you, Miss San, for your concern." Last time, I was given a jade pendant by Rue Xiang, and I got ten taels of silver. My mother took the medicine and is getting better now. ”

Wei Rongruo understood. That jade pendant can be used as ten taels of silver, it must be dead.

I thought that when I was done with this, I would have to spend a lot of money to redeem it.

After all, this is the original owner, the thoughts left by the biological mother.

After Li'er said goodbye and left, Wei Rongruo was a little entangled in her heart.

originally wanted to calculate Wen's hand, but she couldn't catch up with the mercy!

After all, she is innocent.

Wei Rongruo instructed Rue Xiang to throw away the medicine, and then lay down in the quilt sullenly.

Rue vaguely guessed something, but didn't ask.

After two days like this, Wei Rongruo drank a few more doses of the medicine he had prepared, and his condition never improved.

Seeing that the New Year is coming. On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, Wen finally asked Jin'er to send the second dose of medicine.

Wei Rongruo forced himself to get up from the bed, and shook out a packet of red powder from his baggage.

This is the last time I bought it when I bought medicine for Feng Wushuang at the pharmacy.

At night, Wei Rongruo actually spat blood from his mouth.

Rue Xiang hurriedly returned.

When Wen arrived with the girl and a doctor, Wei Rongruo was already unconscious.

The old ancestor came tremblingly on crutches, and Rue Xiang knelt on the ground with three lines of nose and two lines of tears: "My young lady was fine before." I took the medicine sent by Jin'er this morning, and that's it......"

Wei Rongruo was lying on the bed, with blood stains on his lips. His face was as white as paper, and when he looked at it like this, he only had half a life left.

The old ancestor was so angry that he smashed the ground with a crutch: "Embroider the screen, please Doctor Wang." ”

It turned out that when the old ancestor rushed over, he brought Wang Zhiqiao, who usually diagnoses his own diseases, with him.

As he spoke, he glanced at Wen meaningfully.

Wen was not weak at this time, but the eyes of the old ancestor made her a little panicked.

Dr. Li, who came with the Wen family, was at a loss after receiving the obvious distrustful gaze of the old ancestor.

Wang Zhiqiao first diagnosed the pulse.

Under the instruction of the old ancestor, Rue Xiang carefully brought the medicine residue.

Wang Zhiqiao dipped a little bit of his finger into his mouth, and then his face immediately changed color.

The old ancestor's heart tightened, and he heard Wang Zhiqiao say: "Cinnabar is added to this medicine, and the dose is too large. ”

Wen stared at his eyes in disbelief, and the next second he turned his head to look at Dr. Li: "You used cinnabar?" ”

Dr. Li was confused, but shook his head firmly: "No, it's useless." Cinnabar is a calming medicine, and the third lady just occasionally feels cold and has some fever. Cinnabar is a medicine that is not a febrile convulsion, so it is easy not to use. ”

Seeing that the ancestor didn't believe it, Wen sent someone to Weifu to get the prescription left by Dr. Li before.

Dr. Li also tasted the dregs, and sure enough, he tasted something wrong.

Wang Zhiqiao was busy prescribing an antidote to Wei Rongruo, and Rue Xiang hurriedly went to fry it.

When a bowl of jet-black medicinal juice was served, the prescription left by Dr. Li earlier also came.

No cinnabar!

But because of this, the old ancestor was even more suspicious of the Wen family!

"There is no cinnabar in the prescription, but you can tell me, where did this cinnabar come from?" The Old Ancestor's tone had turned into questioning.

Wen didn't expect it to be involved in her all of a sudden, but she really didn't know anything.

But at this time, there is no way to argue!

The old ancestor glared angrily, and the Wen family took a few steps forward: "Old ancestor, Xu is...... Xu is Wei Rongruo's girl who used cinnabar herself to defile my ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the old ancestor: "I used cinnabar? Don't you see that her life is dying? Stupid enough to joke with your own life? Such a vicious mind can only be thought of.

"Ruo'er who didn't come to defile me......"

The old ancestor said, and then turned his eyes to look at Wei Rongruo's pitiful little appearance, and tears were about to fall in his eyes.

Rue Xiang listened to Wen's words, but she didn't follow: "Where did Aunt Wen say!" My young lady has been sick and bedridden since she was frightened that night. Xiaoyu, Li'er and Jin'er have all been here and seen them.

"I didn't get any better after taking a dose of medicine before, and I kept repeating it. We didn't know what cinnabar was, and we had never been out. Where did the cinnabar come from?

"How can Aunt Wen wronged my young lady like this?"

Rue Xiang said and cried.

Wen only felt that his head was "buzzing", and it was about to explode.

"Doctor Wang, please take a closer look at her. Now that the New Year is approaching, if the girl can move, she will still move back to Weifu.

"She lives in this courtyard, I'm really afraid that when this old bone wakes up one day, she will have to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person."

The old ancestor said, and slowly left with the support of the embroidered screen.

Wen was so angry that his face turned green, but he could only knock out his teeth and swallow blood.

She knewβ€”she was calculated.

But at this time, there is no way to pursue it, so I can only go away.
