medical lady

Chapter 34 Illness
After that incident, Ji Yuqin has always held a grudge. Although she restrained herself a little, she would still deliberately ridicule and mock when she got the chance.

Du Mingzhu looked at Ji Yucheng curiously upon hearing this.

Ji Yushu, however, already had a serious face, stared at Ji Yuqin, and scolded: "Fourth sister, stop talking nonsense, if this word gets to your mother and grandmother, you will be grounded again!"

Seeing that Ji Yushu was also angry, Ji Yuqin curled her lips, and then said nothing.

"Second sister, it's okay, fourth sister is young, so she is not sensible." Ji Yucheng smiled lightly, her eyes fell on Ji Yuqin, and her smile deepened: "It's just that if fourth sister continues to be so reckless, I'm afraid not only You yourself will be grounded, and even your aunt will be implicated!"

This sentence was a sincere reminder, but it fell into Ji Yuqin's ears and turned into a threat.

She stared angrily and shouted, "What do you mean by that?"

Ji Yucheng was not interested in arguing with the little girl, so she held a round fan in her hand and fanned it gently: "Just to remind you, you don't have to listen to it if you don't like it." She said, and turned to Ji Yushu and Du Mingzhu said: "I do have something to do today, so I won't go shopping with you."

After finishing speaking, regardless of whether they were unhappy or not, he turned around and walked to his own yard, but quietly sprinkled some medicinal powder with the hand holding the round fan before leaving.

The breeze blew, and the powder was blown in the air and scattered everywhere, and it also fell on the girls in Chaoshou corridor.

During this period of time, she has never lost her interest in medicine.If she only knew a little bit in the previous life, then she already knows a lot in this life.

It's just that she hasn't really seen patients and practiced her hands, so she doesn't know how her medical skills are, but she is not in a hurry. Anyway, she doesn't study medicine for the purpose of saving people and curing diseases, but more importantly, for self-defense.

After going back to the yard to read for a while, when it was time for dinner in the evening, Madam Xu specially invited Ji Yucheng to Fumanyuan.

Ji Yucheng saw that Nanny Xu was nervous and anxious, and asked a few questions, but Nanny Xu refused to say anything.

But when they arrived at Fumanyuan, they didn't see Du Mingzhu and others, and even Ji Muhan and Li Shi disappeared. Only Mrs. Ji was sitting in the upper seat, with a worried and angry expression on her face.

Ji Yucheng frowned, and asked puzzledly, "What about the second sister?"

Mrs. Ji seemed very tired and didn't say a word, but Madam Xu frowned and said: "Miss, can I go to the garden with the girls today to play? Did anything happen after going back?"

The quiet needle drop could be heard in Fumanyuan, Ji Yucheng said cautiously: "I just stayed for a while and then went back, nothing happened? What's wrong?"

Mrs. Ji raised her head to look at her when she heard her voice, her heavy eyes seemed to be scrutinized and inquiring: "Shu'er and the others played in the garden for half an hour, and they all felt itchy all over after they returned. I have a fever, and I called a doctor at this time, but the fever has not subsided. Why doesn’t this happen when you are with them?”

Ji Yucheng frowned, and asked, "Grandmother is suspicious of Ah Cheng?"

"Not suspicious, just curious!"

Although Mrs. Ji said so, Ji Yucheng understood that Mrs. Ji suspected her.

After all, she was there at the time, and she was the first to leave, so it's normal to be suspicious.

"I don't have these symptoms, and I left after only staying for less than a quarter of an hour. The maids and women in these mansions can all testify. The weather is hot, and it may be heat stroke!"

In fact, Ji Yucheng's heart is like a bright mirror, but she lowered her head with a puzzled and cautious look, and only said heatstroke. After all, most people can think of this reason.

Mrs. Ji really suspected heatstroke, but the doctor said that she didn't think of heatstroke because of the symptoms, it was a bit like poisoning, because the girls had pustules all over their bodies, and those pustules couldn't be touched, and they hurt badly.

She also knew that Ji Yucheng hadn't given up studying medicine during this time, so after Mrs. Li secretly mentioned something, she immediately asked Aunt Xu to call Ji Yucheng here for questioning.

But looking at Ji Yucheng at this time, he also looked ignorant and cautious, and felt that he should not be suspicious. After all, Ji Yucheng is young, even if he is a medical student, it is impossible to poison a few girls.

Ji Yucheng straightened her back and looked at Mrs. Ji calmly, without any guilt or fear.

She left early, and the powder had already blown away, so it was impossible to find any evidence.

Now Mrs. Ji suspects her, but she can't get any evidence, and she hasn't had any conflicts with anyone in the house during this time, even if she is suspicious, it's only because she is not sick.But she left so quickly, this doubt was only for a moment.

"Grandmother, can I go and see the second sister?"

Everyone in the mansion knew that she followed Tao to learn medical skills for a few days, and that she sprinkled those medicinal powders on purpose, didn't she just want to find some people to practice her skills?
Mrs. Ji looked haggard. Seeing that Ji Yucheng was calm, she no longer doubted it. She nodded and asked Madam Xu to take Ji Yucheng to have a look. Of course, Madam Xu secretly gave her a wink.

Nanny Xu has been with Mrs. Ji for so long, and she will understand immediately.

Ji Yushu and others live not far away, but only a few steps away.

Ji Yucheng went to Ji Yushu's room first. Ji Yushu lay unconscious on the bed. She touched her forehead with her hand. It was indeed scalding hot. The maid beside her continued to apply cold water to her forehead. , hoping to cool down.

She lifted the quilt again and looked at the pustules on her body, which had spread.

After the visual inspection was over, she started to feel her pulse again, and after a while, she said to Madam Xu, "You can send someone to the garden to see if there are any insects and ants. If there are any, you can catch them and have a look."

She wanted Mrs. Ji and the others to divert their suspicions, and her medicinal powders were meant to attract insects and ants. If they caught those insects, Mrs. Ji would no longer suspect her.

It's just that it depends on her mood whether to treat Ji Yushu and the others.

She also looked at the medicine prescribed by the doctor, some of which were prescribed for heatstroke, and the medicine was not suitable for the symptoms, so their fever did not go down so quickly, and the pustules on their bodies were getting bigger and bigger, showing no signs of improvement.

But of course she wouldn't say that.

Mother Xu watched from the side, frowned and asked, "Girl, do you see the problem?"

Ji Yucheng stood up and said to Nanny Xu: "I read in medical books that there are many insects and ants in summer, and many of them infestation in places with many flowers. In the morning, the second sister and the others went to the garden. Be careful that you may be touched!"

Mother Xu couldn't help clicking her tongue secretly when she saw that what she said was logical, but she didn't really believe it either.

After a while, someone came back and said that indeed they found a kind of insects and ants that they had never seen before in the garden, but people of the older generation in the mansion had also seen them. Terrible.
