Chapter 37: Miss is sick again
Yue Shi winked, and Grandma Wang led the people out to get the consultation fee. When the outsiders left, she began to angrily scold Pei'er.
"Kneel down! How do you serve young lady!?"
Pei'er kowtowed in fear and begged for mercy, "Madam, please calm down. I don't know why the young lady got sick. Apart from going to Shanzhi Hall today, all the food that the young lady eats are prepared by the house, so there will be no mistake."
"Shanzhi Hall?" Yue Shi frowned when he heard this, "Yu Rou, did you encounter anything unusual in Shanzhitang?"
"No, mother. Mr. Yin entertained me personally, and he didn't see anyone else during this period."
"This is strange."
At this moment, Pei'er suddenly let out a soft cry. When Yue Shi looked over, she covered her mouth.
"Did you think of something?"
Pei'er hesitated slightly, her eyes timidly drifting in the direction of An Yurou from time to time.
When Yue Shi saw this, he scolded with a sullen face, "Why are you hesitating? Tell me quickly!"
Pei'er then told the truth: "Mrs. Qizhen, when the young lady was about to leave Shanzhitang, an eccentric old man stopped the car."
"Weird and sophisticated?"
"Yes, the old Taoist said..." Pei'er looked at An Yurou tremblingly again, and saw that she was not angry before continuing, "The old Taoist said that the darkening of the Yin hall between the young lady and Mr. Yin is a sign of great misfortune. He also asked whether the young lady could take it.
You have to pay for what belongs to her."
Yue was furious and slapped the bed hard.
"Nonsense! You dare to say such charlatan words and dirty my ears!"
Pei'er crawled on the ground and begged for mercy, "My slave made a mistake, please punish me, Madam."
Yue Shi looked angry on the face, but actually she was even more panicked in her heart. The theory of ghosts and gods cannot be fully believed, but one cannot disbelieve it either.
"Okay, today's events are not allowed to be spread. If the news is leaked and damages the reputation of the young lady, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"yes."
After ensuring that An Yurou was safe, Yue returned to the main courtyard in a hurry, fearing that his delay would make An Guogong suspicious.
However, their covert behavior did not escape An Yueli's eyes.
Zhuiyue held up her skirt and trotted back to Beiyuan, her face full of excitement.
"Princess, there is indeed a commotion in Ziguangyuan! I watched it quietly just now. Grandma Wang personally sent the doctor out. It seems that the second young lady is ill."
Huan Sha came forward with tea and asked with admiration and curiosity.
"How did the princess know that the second lady would be ill? Today she invited an old Taoist priest to go to Shanzhi Hall to cause trouble."
An Yueli curled her lips, "While I was searching Ziguang Garden, I stuck two pills on the lid of the incense burner."
When she said this, Fuyan immediately let out an ooh.
"Could it be that incense burner made of colored glaze?"
"That's right." An Yueli explained to everyone, "That incense burner was bought by Fu Yan and I from the market many years ago. At that time, it was because of its unique workmanship and even the hidden card slot on the inside of the lid.
I feel novel.
Some spices are not resistant to high temperatures, so they can be placed in the card slot and emit fragrance together with the burning incense powder. Although An Yurou took possession of my things, she did not know these details."
When An Yueli saw the incense burner in Ziguangyuan, an idea suddenly flashed across her face. She took out two cerebrolysin tablets from the medical space and stuffed them in.
Cerebrolysin was originally a drug used to improve brain function, but its side effects can cause epilepsy.
However, compared to the poison An Yurou and Yueshi administered to Mrs. Jiang, the side effects of this cerebrolysin will not last too long.
Once the tablets in the incense burner evaporate, the side effects will gradually subside.
An Yueli lowered her eyes to hide her deep hatred, "When they poisoned my mother, they should have thought of this day."
The second day.
An Yurou was in a state of depression because of her illness last night.
She leaned against the couch, letting Pei'er fan herself, and rubbing her forehead and temples.
"What the hell kind of weather is this? Just sitting still makes me sweat."
Pei'er asked cautiously: "If you feel hot, miss, why not smoke some mint and citrus to refresh yourself."
"Okay, let the kitchen cook some sour plum soup to relieve the heat."
"yes."
Pei'er immediately took the incense burner and first emptied out the remaining spices before adding new ones. From beginning to end, she did not notice that there were two white pills on the inside of the lid.
"Miss, please wait a moment. I'm going to get the sour plum soup right now."
An Yurou waved her hand impatiently and dragged the incense burner in front of her.
The fresh fragrance curled up along with the smoke. She took a few deep breaths with enjoyment and felt that her mind was relieved for a moment.
However, just when she was relaxing and leaning on the soft pillow and falling asleep, her mind suddenly went blank, and her body began to twitch involuntarily.
"Miss, here comes the sour plum soup."
Pei'er came back with the things, but was so frightened by the scene in front of her that she screamed repeatedly. She saw An Yurou slumped on the floor and shaking uncontrollably, foaming at the mouth, and her face was covered with blood.
"Miss!? Come here, Miss is sick again, come here quickly!"
After a moment of turmoil, Yue Shi and Grandma Wang rushed to Ziguang Garden.
This time, An Yurou hit her forehead directly on the corner of the table, leaving a wound the size of her little finger.
Yue Shi was anxious, distressed and worried, "Doctor, how is my daughter? What disease does she have?"
The doctor frowned and sighed while administering the acupuncture, "To be honest, although the lady's condition has stabilized, the cause of the disease has never been found.
I'm sorry for my incompetence, but I really don't understand what caused Miss' illness. Madam, why don't you post an advertisement and invite more famous doctors to come and diagnose Miss."
"No!" Yueshi refused in a deep voice without even thinking, "Yurou's situation cannot be spread to anyone."
The young lady from the Duke's palace fell ill for no apparent reason several times in succession, and would only be regarded as possessed by evil spirits. When word of mouth spreads, how can she get married?
The doctor pursed his lips and warned truthfully.
"With all due respect, the second lady's condition is weird and dangerous. If she gets sick one after another, I'm afraid it will lead to long-term hysteria and even life-threatening conditions."
"Hysteria..."
Yue Shi seemed to have received a huge blow, staggering two steps and almost falling.
Grandma Wang quickly took action to support her, "Madam, the life of the second young lady is the most important thing in everything!"
Yueshi gritted his teeth and said, "No, there is no airtight wall in the world. Besides, once the master knows that Yurou may be suffering from hysteria, he will definitely dislike her and hate her. Don't forget what kind of life that person in Beiyuan is living now."
Thinking of Jiang Qinglan who was suffering from hysteria, Grandma Wang also shuddered.
"Then what should we do now? Can we only pray to gods and Buddhas?"
As soon as these words came out, Yue clan was reminded.
"Where is Pei'er?"
"lady."
Pei'er stepped forward tremblingly and knelt down to beg for mercy before she could speak.
"My slave failed to take good care of the young lady. Please forgive me, madam!"
However, Yue rushed up and grabbed her arm, like a drowning person grabbing the life-saving straw.
"You said last night that an old Taoist priest warned Yurou that the darkening of her hall was a sign of great misfortune?"
Upon hearing this, Pei'er quickly told the other party what happened that day, word for word.
"The old Taoist priest said he would wait at the street corner near Shanzhitang for three days. If it takes more than three days, Miss is afraid..."
