Nongmen Merchant Girl

Chapter 53 Hit a Wall
After the medicine was boiled and given to his father, the family gathered in the main room.

"Mother, Doctor Han has already said that father will wake up tomorrow morning after drinking the medicine. As long as he rests well in the future, he will fully recover. Don't be too sad." Xu Ru sat beside her mother, holding her hand Shoulder, "It's just that Yinhua's matter is a little troublesome, but don't worry too much, I will find a way."

"Dongmei came back this morning and told me about this matter, hey, what can I do..." Mother Xu cried again holding the handkerchief, overwhelmed with grief, and couldn't speak smoothly, " Your father encountered such a thing today, if it wasn't for you, what would be the consequences of this."

"Mother, don't be too sad. Today I have asked the young master of the Ling family to inquire about it. The second sister will be fine." Xu Ru knows that for ordinary people, the government office is a very sacred and majestic existence. If the common people were to sue, it would be tantamount to imprisonment and beheading. She lied that she had asked the Ling family for help, and she wanted to give Xu's mother more comfort and greater confidence.

Early the next morning, Xu Ru got up to freshen up, and made an appointment with Xu Dongmei to go to Master Wang's house in the town.

Although Dongmei was kicked out of Wang's house because of Happy Beans, the woman who guarded the back door was familiar with her, so Xu Ru bought her with a pair of silver earrings and asked her to call the third lady.

She followed Dongmei and a little maid around the garden, walked through two corridors, and came to the courtyard where the third lady lived.

"I said Dongmei, it's not that I won't help you. You see, the master is really angry this time. It's fine if you don't hit you. I also don't want you to leave, but now I don't want to favor you. The master has been for a few days. They didn't even come to my place..." Xu Ru followed Dongmei into the door, and just after paying her respects, she heard what the third lady said.

Going around the screen, she saw a young woman in a purple gauze dress and gold hairpin standing by the window, looking at her.

Taking advantage of the situation, Xu Ru also stared at the third lady, her willow eyebrows slightly raised, her pink face and peach cheeks, and a pair of slanted eyes made her even more charming.

"Ma'am, the maidservant didn't come here today to stay here, it's my sister..." Dongmei briefly introduced Xu Ru and explained the purpose of her visit.

Xu Ru had inquired with Dongmei a long time ago. This third lady is the daughter of the steward of the palace. She has been in the palace for three years and has no children.

She came to her today because she hoped that through her family's relationship in the mansion, she could find out the young master's diet and daily life yesterday, the people and things he had contact with, as well as any abnormalities in the mansion.

She wanted to go directly to Master Wang, but she had heard from the second sister that the third lady had a good impression of the Xu family, so she came to the third lady to find out.Although the Wangfu is also a big family in the local area, but to put it bluntly, it is a country gentry and local bully. Maybe they can use silver to compensate the Wang family to let them release the second sister. At worst, give him five-spice powder. Anyway, in her eyes, those are all things. Nothing important, only family is the most important.

But this is a bad idea, and she is not willing to be wronged casually like this. It is best to find out the cause of Young Master Wang and give the Xu family a clean slate.

Finally, after Xu Ru explained the reason for coming, she took out 100 taels of silver and put it on the small table of the third lady.

"Madam also often eats our Xu family's Happy Beans. If there is any problem, Madam should know best."

She spoke slowly. She was very enthusiastic about the situation of Xu's family and offered cakes, but it seems that it is not that simple.

"Hehe, girl from the Xu family is really too polite. You can just tell your sister about such a trivial matter, and forget it." She moved her eyes slightly, glanced at the bank notes on the table, and smiled sweetly.

"However, whether these happy beans are poisonous or not is not up to me, and the county master has to judge, don't you think so?" The third lady continued.

It seems that the third lady knows something, she didn't expect her to be so cunning, I heard that the county master is also a muddleheaded official who doesn't do anything, Xu Ru didn't expect much at all if he was expected to be able to see clearly.

"Madam, please help us. Didn't you say before that Sister Yinhua is a nice person? Don't you like to eat boiled peanuts?" Dongmei stepped forward and knelt down in front of her.

"Hey, Dongmei, I didn't say I wouldn't help. You know all the women and maids who serve Ning'er in this mansion. They are all honest and responsible people. I'll recruit them later and ask them for you." Then The third lady said in a cadence.

"Then please ask the third lady to bring them here now. Our peanuts are also common things. There is absolutely no such thing as eating people to make people sick, so let's see if Young Master Wang has eaten other important things."

"Okay, it's up to you." After she finished speaking, she called the maid beside her to find someone.

Not long after, a woman in her 40s and a teenage maid walked in to kowtow to the third lady.

"This is for Ning'er, if you have any questions, just ask."

Xu Ru asked a few words, but the final result was disappointing.

Young Master Wang usually eats with his family. Since everyone else is fine, it means that there is nothing wrong with the food. Apart from eating more Happy Beans than other people, Young Master Wang didn't eat anything else, and he didn't go out to play. , I stayed in the palace for a while, and in the evening I was still studying and practicing calligraphy with Master Wang. At night, I started to have abdominal pain, vomiting and vomiting blood.

Then they came to Han Chunqiu's Rejuvenation Pavilion, and the young drug boy who introduced her yesterday was there, Xu Ru walked over to say hello to him, and followed him into the back hall where Mrs. Han was seeing the doctor. place.

The two waited for a quarter of an hour before Han Chunqiu came.

"Little girl, why are you here again today? Didn't you pack all the medicine yesterday? Could something happen to your father?"

"Grandpa, the genius doctor, you have misunderstood. My father is recovering very well. He woke up this morning. He came today for another matter."

This Han Chunqiu was originally impatient and arrogant, he didn't like to deal with people, and there were too many people who came to seek medical treatment every day, so his temper was not very good.

"If it's not a fatal illness, don't come to me. I'm very busy all day." He said impatiently.

Xu Ru knew that she wanted something from others, so she didn't get angry with him.

"I heard that you were the one who saw Master Wang's illness. Let me ask you how his illness is going?" Xu Ru asked.

In fact, yesterday during the day, the palace came to ask Dr. Han to treat Young Master Wang.

According to his judgment, Master Wang's condition is indeed a bit complicated. Although his body is a little weak, it stands to reason that eating only peanuts would not cause such a big reaction.

But he vomited, had diarrhea and had a fever, and coughed and vomited blood the day before yesterday. Although he improved a lot today, his pulse was fluctuating and difficult to grasp.After his day and night of observation, he was poisoned by a very rare chronic poison.But how could he tell Xu Ru about these situations.
