Chapter 156 The Wang Family's Patient

Early the next morning, when Hongdou and others came to help Mu Jiaojiao get up, they saw Cui Pu who suddenly appeared, their expressions were extremely calm, as if this person was here yesterday.

Cui Pu also acted as if nothing had happened, and asked someone to wait for him to dress and comb his hair with a deadpan face.

After going to Mrs. Cui to ask Ann back, Mu Jiaojiao discussed with Cui Pu: "What happened yesterday..."

"I don't want to mention what happened yesterday! Let's just pretend that nothing happened!" Cui Pu immediately interrupted her.

Mu Jiaojiao blinked. "What I want to say is that yesterday we left suddenly like that, which is very disrespectful to Mr. Lu Jiulang and Mr. Wang Shiqilang. How about we prepare some gifts for them to send to them today, and express our apologies? "

"What are you talking about!" Cui Pu's eyes flickered, only to realize that he was in danger.He coughed twice, pretending to be relaxed and said, "Since you have already thought about it, then do it! Mistress, you don't need to tell me about these trivial things."

"Well, sir, you have more important things to do, I know. It's just about your friend, so I still want to ask your opinion." Mu Jiaojiao said softly.

Her gentle posture made him very useful.Cui Pu's restless thoughts completely subsided.He nodded in satisfaction: "You have a good idea, just do it!"

Mu Jiaojiao quickly asked someone to prepare an apology.

But he never thought that in the afternoon, the mother who brought the apology came back with a very strange expression on her face.

"Miss, there is one thing that I think it's better to tell you."

Mu Jiaojiao's face changed slightly: "What's the matter? But Lu Langjun and Wang Langjun are still angry, and they don't want to accept this gift?"

"That's not true. Both Lu Langjun and Wang Langjun happily accepted the compensation. However, when I went to deliver the compensation, I heard something from Wang Langjun's servant. Not long after Jun left Furong's house, Lu Langjun and Wang Langjun were beaten, and Wang Langjun was seriously injured!"

Mu Jiaojiao's expression changed drastically immediately. "Do you know who did it?"

Mammy shook her head quickly. "I just listened to them for a while, and asked them again but refused to say more. It's just that Wang Langjun must have been seriously injured, otherwise he wouldn't have come out to see me. Lu Langjun came out to pick me up at that time. Sorry."

"I see." Mu Jiaojiao nodded, "Nurse is working hard, you should go down and rest first!"

Mammy hurried down.Mu Jiaojiao called Hongdou over and whispered a few words to her.

In the evening, when Cui Pu came back from outside, Mu Jiaojiao told him about it.

Cui Pu was furious after hearing this. "It turned out to be him! Fang Yixiu is the son of an imperial physician, but he dared to do something to the husbands of Fanyang Lu's and Taiyuan Wang's just because his family took refuge in Concubine Wu Hui? It's unreasonable!"

"Speaking of which, we still harmed them." Mu Jiaojiao sighed.

"That's right! The Fang family, relying on their status as an imperial physician, also opened a Baicao hall, which specializes in treating diseases and prescribing medicines for dignitaries. It's just that the medicinal materials they sell are not as effective as the proprietary medicines in our shop, and the tonic effect is even worse. So much so that in just over two months, our Baicao Hall has taken away most of the medicinal material business of their Fang's Baicao Hall. The surname Fang has long disliked me. The few times I met by chance before, I have a bad nose The nose and the eyes are not the eyes, and the speech is also very yin and yang. It's just that our Baicao Hall has visited many nobles now, and your reputation in Chang'an City is not low now. They dare not move without authorization, and they have not found a reason to attack me. So They simply turned around and vented their anger on Lu Jiu and Wang Shiqi! Especially Wang Shiqi, who is so timid and honest, it is really hateful for them to pick him to bully him!" Cui Pu cried angrily, "If they really have If you have the ability, then come to me, what kind of ability is it to bully an honest person?"

"It's useless for you to say these things now. The most urgent thing is, let's find time to visit Mr. Lu Jiulang and Mr. Wang Shiqilang, and apologize to them in person!" Mu Jiaojiao said.

"A face-to-face apology is necessary. I think it will be tomorrow, and I will write a letter to each of them now. By the way, you can also check their pulse and prescribe a medicine if possible. Now we can do it." That's all there is to it." Cui Pu said with a serious face.

Mu Jiaojiao nodded. "Okay, everything is up to you."

That night, Cui Pu hardly fell asleep.

Mu Jiaojiao was lying side by side with him, listening to his tossing and turning, she couldn't help but said, "Don't force yourself if you can't sleep. Let's talk together!"

"I have nothing to say now." Cui Pu muffled.

"Really?" Mu Jiaojiao didn't believe it.

Cui Pu sighed. "Actually, when I took over the burden entrusted to me by my father-in-law, and seeing the business in the shop getting better and better, I already expected that someone would take the opportunity to attack me, and I was already ready to confront them head-on. But, who would have thought...they would be so shameless that they dared not confront me, so they attacked my friends! No wonder the quality of their medicines has not been improved. Do you want to treat illnesses and make medicines? It’s just pity for Wang Shiqi..."

Mu Jiaojiao also sighed, and reached out to pat him on the back. "Now that we know who did it, let's keep this incident firmly in our hearts, and just seize the opportunity to retaliate. As for Wang Shiqilang, I think that with the relationship you have had for so many years, he will definitely not give up because of this. I blame you for a little thing."

"It's because I know that he won't blame me, so I feel even more uncomfortable! We have known each other for so many years. Although he is silent and doesn't like to talk, he is actually the kindest and smartest of the three of us. Lu Jiu and I sometimes do things together. What went wrong is because he secretly helped us clean up the mess. Lu Jiu and I love to spend money, and at the end of the month when we have nothing, he will take out his little monthly money for us to spend. And what I gave him, It’s just a few recent pills! As a result, he was still beaten up because of me, I..." Cui Pu said, choking up unconsciously.

Mu Jiaojiao hurriedly hugged his shoulder and patted him a few times. "Okay, don't be sad. It's useless for you to be sad now. The most urgent thing is to think about how to make up for him and let those who do evil things learn a lesson!"

"Well, you're right!" Cui Pu nodded vigorously, but rubbed his head against her arms, found a comfortable position and leaned against it.

Early the next morning, after the two of them finished their work in the mansion, Lu Jiu came.

"Didn't you tell us that we were looking for you? Why did you come here first?" Cui Pu hurriedly asked.

"I'm fine. I've recovered after a day. The most important thing now is Wang Shiqi. In fact, I was worried about him yesterday. It's just that I was injured a little. My aunt refused to let me go out. This morning I still sneaked out, let's go to Wang's house to see him!" Lu Jiu said quickly.

Now that everyone else has come, Cui Pu can't say anything, just nod his head. "Okay, let's go directly to Wang's house."

This time, it was Mu Jiaojiao in the car, Cui Pu and Lu Jiu on horseback, and the three arrived at Wang's house together.

Although the Taiyuan Wang family is also listed among the five surnames and Qiwang, it is the last of the five surnames, and its status is much lower than the other four surnames.Even the residence of the Wang family in Chang'an City is relatively remote.

After walking all the way for about half an hour, they arrived at the palace.As usual, I went to see Mrs. and Mrs. Wang's family first.Wang Shiqi's mother and son did not have a strong sense of presence in the Wang family. Madam Wang was indifferent to them who came to visit Wang Shiqilang, but it was Mrs. Wang's love for Mu Jiaojiao and the few boxes of Yangrong pills she brought. Very interested, he even pulled her to say a few words, and then let them go to see Wang Shiqilang.

Wang Shiqilang's residence is in the northwest corner of Wang's house. The yard doesn't take up too much space, but it's spacious and tidy inside, and all the utensils are available.

When the three of them arrived, Wang Shiqilang was still lying on the bed.Beside him, apart from a few maidservants aged fifteen or sixteen, there was also a young woman in her thirties who was sitting on the bed and weeping.

Seeing them coming in, Wang Shiqilang hurriedly struggled to get up, Cui Pu hurried forward and held him down. "It's all hurt like this, what are you still doing? Lie down for me quickly! We are old acquaintances, so don't care about these vain rituals."

While talking, he said to Mu Jiaojiao again: "Come and show him quickly."

Mu Jiaojiao hurriedly went forward, and ordered Hongdou to take out the pulse diagnosis: "Seventeenth Lord, stretch out your hand, let me diagnose your pulse."

"Why is this so embarrassing? It's just a small injury, and it's too much trouble for you." Wang Shiqilang had a flattered expression.

But he obediently put his hand on the pulse diagnosis.Mu Jiaojiao carefully took his pulse for a long time, checked his wounds again, and said with a sigh of relief: "His wounds are not serious. Those people didn't attack too hard, just some flesh wounds. After taking the medicine, it will be fine in a few days. By the way, you should have used the medicine I gave you before, right?"

"I've used it! Madam Cui Liushao, your medicine is really good. Shiqilang was bloody and badly injured the day he was brought back. After cleaning the wound, he applied the medicine you gave him. The bleeding stopped quickly. It was scabbed when I saw it yesterday morning, and the pain has been gone since today, and it should be healed in two days." The middle-aged woman quickly replied.

Wang Shiqilang quickly introduced: "This is my aunt."

The middle-aged woman hurriedly bowed to Mu Jiaojiao and the others.

Mu Jiaojiao bowed his head in return, and ordered Hongdou to take out a few more delicate small boxes the size of a palm, and introduced them to them one by one: "This box is filled with gold sore medicine, which is the latest product I made. It is more effective in treating bruises than You are using it well now, let him use this one in the future! There is also this one, this one is called Angong Niuhuang Pill, it is used to clear away heat and detoxify, you keep it for now, and give it to him when he has another fever or something From now on, Zhangzhou Pien Tze Huang will be cut into a small piece every day, and half of it will be applied externally and the other half will be taken internally. Within half a month, all his injuries will be healed."

"Thank you, Madam Sixth Young Master! Madam Sixth Young Master, you are truly a bodhisattva. I am here to thank you on behalf of Lord Seventeen!" The middle-aged woman was so grateful that tears welled up in her eyes, and she immediately knelt down for Mu Jiaojiao.

Mu Jiaojiao hurriedly helped her up, and comforted her several times.

Cui Pu still felt guilty, and insisted on administering the medicine to Wang Shiqilang himself again, and then said apologetically, "I have caused you to suffer so much, I'm sorry."

"Hey, my brother, what are you talking about whether you are involved or not? In the past, I did not hurt you less!" Wang Shiqilang shook his head with a smile.Lu Jiu also said with a smile, "Wang Shiqi is right, who are we going to fight with whom? It's because Fang can push Wu to attack us, isn't it because we are worth their efforts? And we don't Is it all right? No matter how much they hate us in their hearts, they will not dare to kill us. Otherwise, they will not have a good life if they kill the princes of the Lu family and the Wang family!"

Cui Pu still had a very ugly face.

Just now, to avoid suspicion, Mu Jiaojiao went ahead when Cui Pu was administering medicine to Wang Shiqilang.Now when she came back and heard what they said, she said, "Don't say such troublesome things now. But Mr. Seventeenth, I'm very curious, why haven't you looked for me until now?"

"What do you want?" Cui Pu was puzzled.

"Ask Mr. Seventeenth Lang, he knows it himself."

Cui Pu looked at Wang Shiqilang. "What's the matter?"

"It's really nothing. Don't you know that I have always had a problem with choosing a bed, and every time I change the sheets and bedding, my whole body becomes red and itchy. It takes several days to get used to it. That time in Xiangji Temple, My sister-in-law gave me a pack of medicine, and after I used it, the problem improved a lot, and I haven't had an attack until now. Since it hasn't happened again, what should I do with you?" Wang Shiqilang smiled shyly .

"That medicine can only temporarily suppress your problem, but it only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. I originally thought that because of your relationship with Liu Lang, you would come to me to help you eradicate this problem sooner or later, but I didn't expect that you It’s because you’ve carried it so hard that you haven’t opened your mouth yet!” Mu Jiaojiao shook his head. "I really admire you too!"

Cui Pu just remembered that Wang Shiqilang really has this problem!
It's just that this guy has always been reticent, and he doesn't often mention this problem, so he almost forgets it.Now that he heard what Mu Jiaojiao said, he hurriedly said: "In that case, you can prescribe another medicine for him to eradicate it!"

Wang Shiqilang's aunt came in with a bowl of water.Hearing their words, she burst into tears again. "Madam Liu Shao is really a living Bodhisattva. If you can cure Mr. Seventeenth Lang's illness, I will go to the temple and light an ever-burning lamp for you. From now on, I will chant scriptures and pray for you in front of the Buddha every day. May you and Liu Your lord will live a hundred years!"

"Mr. Seventeenth's disease is actually easy to cure. What about you, Auntie? Are you going to stop taking care of your problems?" Mu Jiaojiao said in a low voice.

Everyone was surprised again.

"Aunt...what's wrong with her?" Wang Shiqilang whispered in surprise.

His aunt waved her hands again and again. "I'm not sick! Who said I'm sick?"

Mu Jiaojiao took a step forward, pushed up her sleeves, then wiped the back of her hand vigorously, and then wiped off a thick layer of powder.And the place that was dropped by a certain fan suddenly revealed a yellow color that was completely different from the surrounding area.

If you wipe it down, there will be more and more yellow parts.In the end, several people discovered that - from the wrist joint down, the palm, the back of the hand, and the fingers of this person were all an obscure yellow color, as if wearing a pair of yellow gloves!
