C286

Lan Ling was waiting outside the house. As soon as she saw me go out, she came up to me with a look of anxiety on her face.

"Did Supervisor Zhou get any news?"

Lan Li bitterly smiled and shook her head. "It's the Second Young Master. He has a high fever. Even Doctor Huang has no way to cure him."

Feng Han was already a dangerous person, not to mention that the family was only a child, so it was a bit more risky than ordinary people.

On the way back to the yard, I regretted it. If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have been so serious with a child like him. But now, he might really lose his life. Although I can't be considered a good person, I don't want my hands to be stained with the blood of such an innocent child. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so protective of the one in Aunt Chen's stomach.

However, I faintly felt that even if I knew that there was danger, I would still punish him.

Kids look at people the most.

If this time he knows that you condoned his wrongdoing because of scruples, he will challenge your bottom line again and again in the future. If he couldn't form a norm in the child's heart for the first time, he would have to spend a thousand times more effort in the future to make up for the trouble caused by this hidden danger.

Thinking about it like this, I felt a bit more at ease.

Rather than reminiscing about the past here, it was better to capture the real culprit as soon as possible and restrain him from the source.

The cause of this incident was just an accident. If he hadn't paid close attention to the movements in his family and had some tricks up his sleeves, how could it have caused such a big commotion?

[I can't think of anyone in this family with this kind of ability!]

But if it was someone from the outside, the Lu family was the most likely target. He had the means and the motive to do so, but even if he had to quickly and meticulously arrange everything so that he could accurately control the movements of his family, even if the entire family was made up of servants from the Lu family, it would be impossible for him to do it so flawlessly.

I snickered to myself, there have been a lot of unsolved cases in my family recently!

First of all, that sandalwood who was pretending to be mysterious had mysteriously died in the well, and now that there was such a blood coffin case, if I wasn't involved in this, I would really be interested in writing a book called "Yang family's inner chamber grievance record"!

He opened the door and entered the room. The interior room was heavily covered by the curtain, and the smell of mixed sour and herbal medicine assaulted his nostrils. The further in they went, the more obvious the unpleasant odor became. The stomachs of the sprinting men churned over and over.

In front of the bed was a screen made of lily silk. I turned from the inside of the screen to the bed, just in time to see a pair of black cloud shoes.

"Can I have a few words with the young lady alone?"

Separated by the screen, Huang Lang's solemn voice was heard, carrying an unmistakable seriousness.

I looked down at the family sleeping on the bed.

Its small body was only half the length of the bed, and it was slightly curled up on its side. Her normally plump and white face had turned red from the heat, and the hair on her forehead was stuck tightly to her face by the wetness of the sweat.

I dug out the handkerchief and tried to wipe the sweat off him, but the burning temperature scared me and I pulled back my hand, dropping the handkerchief to the ground.

I felt as if a mountain had pressed down on my chest, making it hard for me to breathe.

One or two of them, how could a child born in this family grow up to be so extravagant?

"Sir, please speak here!"

I sniffed and sat down on the edge of the bed. It just so happened that Lan Zhi was holding a basin of water in front of me. I pinched a handkerchief and personally wiped Jiayi's face.

It was just some vague words. There was no need to say it out loud!

"Miss Yang, when you invited me here, I already said that I'm not an ordinary teacher. Miss, you have to listen to me!"

For some reason, the usually medical-addicted Huang Gongzhong was suddenly angered. Instead of his usual gentle and stiff appearance, his voice suddenly rose to a higher pitch:

"Miss, do you know that life is in danger, you can't waste even a second!"

His life was in danger?

Not a moment longer?

What did he just say?

Even though he had caught a cold and his life was in danger, he was still standing outside. He had already been treated, so what was there to delay?

I leaned over and looked around me. The little girl let out a soft moan as she tightly frowned. She tightly clenched her small fists, tossing and turning in an extremely pained manner.

A thought flitted through my mind. Could it be … Family justice is not cold?

"Sir, please wait in the eardrum for a moment. My daughter will be there shortly."

Huang Lang snorted coldly and turned to leave. Lan Zhi quickly arranged for a maidservant to lead the way. After instructing Lan Zhi and the others for a while, I brought Lan Lingyun to the ear room that was next to my study.

Unlike my grandmother's ear room, which was simply decorated, there was a desk, an official hat chair, and a clean white vase, which I usually used to calm my mind and write and paint.

More importantly, this room happens to be around the corner, where the two Dark Guards usually live. Every letter I write to King Qi is also delivered to the messenger here.

Huang Lang stood in front of me with his hands behind his back. He heard me turn my head in the door and glanced at Lan Ling, who was standing behind me.

"She's my trusted servant girl, if there's anything you want to say, just say it."

Lan Lingyun took a step back and stood at the corner, with an expression as though she was afraid that I would suffer a loss as she stared at Huang Gangzhong like a tiger eyeing its prey.

Despite the heavy atmosphere, I couldn't help but smile. Not to mention that he was from the Huang Family from Langzhou, a family that specializes in medicine and was known as the main hospital's main branch. Not to mention that he was from the Huang Family from Langzhou, a family that specializes in medicine and was trusted by every emperor in the imperial court.

"Your little brother is not just cold!"

Huang Lang's eyes were fixed on me, his brows were deeply furrowed and his tone was strict. In fact, it sounded like he was denouncing me, "Your little brother was poisoned!"

Poisoned?

How could he have been poisoned?

Not only had there been a lot of headless grievances in this family recently, there were also a lot of poisons!

The nameless fire started and it angered me to the point that both my ribs hurt. I forcefully suppressed my anger and with a voice that was as cold as ice, I asked, "Sir, did you say that my brother was poisoned? What poison? Is there a solution? "

The corners of his mouth curled up in a hint of a smile, "I gave the young master a shot, and also used an aphrodisiac. The young master's poison wasn't too deep to begin with, and now it has been spat out. The poison has been cured."

No wonder the room smelled like that.

"But …" Huang Lang looked at me cautiously.

"It's just that he's young, and after going through so much suffering and even having caught a chill, I'm afraid he'll have to rest for a long time before being able to recover, right?"

I could hear the impatience in my own voice.

Huang Lang nodded and said: "Although little Young Master saved her, but it's impossible for that woman. Little Miss, you should hurry up and call her family in to take a look!"

A woman?

There were a lot of women in my yard, but most of them worked outside, so they couldn't get into my house.

Could he be talking about Mother Gu, the righteous wet nurse?

When I thought about it, ever since I entered the house and didn't even have a chance to talk to Mother Gu, I thought she had gone back to rest.

"Are you talking about a young wife wearing a blue suit? She was poisoned too? "

Huang Lang nodded with a dark expression, "It was too late when I arrived. That mother's abdominal pain was endless, her eyeballs were bulging, and her entire body was red. This is the symptom of the poison spreading throughout her body. There's no cure, so I had to use a needle to reduce her pain a little. "

Mother Gu's husband was originally a coachman for Aunt Mo. After following Aunt Mo to the Yang family, he was arranged by me to be a third-rate steward in Hucheng's tea shop.

Unexpectedly, before Mother Gu's death, she didn't even have a family member by her side.

I recalled that Mother Gu had once said that she would send her son next door to help look after him every time he came to work. That child should be around the same age as her family members this year, and should be just as ignorant.

Lan Ling knew this was an urgent matter, so she replied and left the room.

"Right now, we are in the midst of many things and can't help but be a little inconsiderate. Mister, please don't take it to heart."

I curtsied slightly and looked at the tall man before me for a moment, hesitating.

Recently, the home was really not peaceful, especially with these evil spirits' tricks. They were not only unable to find out the reason, but they even had accidents where they were easily poisoned.

Ordinarily, I would have resented the fact that Huang Lianzhong was honest and didn't understand the situation, but at this moment, he has become a rare advantage. He is one of the few trustworthy people around me.

It would be the best if I could keep Huang Lang at home for a few days and wait until I get my hands free to sort this out.

However, Huang Gongzhong might not be willing to get involved in such an internal conflict.

All smart people would take the initiative to avoid it, right? He was kind enough to tell my family the truth about righteous diseases.

Looking at the handsome face of the young man in front of me, my mouth opened and closed. Since he was innocent, there was no need to drag an innocent person into the water. After silently bowing, I turned around and walked out of the room.

Since he had the time, he might as well take a look at the outer court's mourning hall!

"You're leaving just like that?"

There was a hint of surprise hidden deep in the man's deep voice. I turned around just in time to see Huang Lang's surprised face.

What?

Do I need a helper so obvious?

"You … You don't want me to stay and help you? "

I don't know if it was because I was too tired, or because I really wanted someone to rely on me, but I actually felt that there was a bashful and apprehensive expression on Minister Huang's face, as if he was blushing a little.

"Sir …" Willing... "Is that so?"

I really need help.

Even though I can't request it, he's the one who asked me to do it.

Even though I clearly know how selfish I am, I still can't help but indulge in self-indulgence.

The winter sunlight shone through the cracks in the window into the bright pillar of light. The man standing in the middle of the hall nodded solemnly. A sincere smile appeared on his face, even gentler than the gentle light.

I was dazzled by the light in his eyes. How long had it been since I'd seen such a heartfelt smile?

In my world, a smile is a way to please, to socialize, to exchange what I need. How often, from the heart, out of joy? I suddenly felt a little jealous of this man who was standing in front of me, laughing so heartily. In his eyes, the most important thing was to use his medical skills to treat those patients, but he did not know that what truly killed them was not only his illness, but also his heart.

The destruction of one's heart was greater than the death of one's body.

"Thank you for the trouble, sir, please go back!"

I half closed my eyes and turned to leave. I heard his anxious shout behind me and quickened my pace even more. His words were overshadowed by the sound of the door closing.

There aren't many people in this world who are as clean as a lord. I can't bear to destroy them myself.

When Lan Zhi saw that I had returned to the main house, and Lan Li was not by my side, she hurried over to serve tea and told me about the process of Huang Lang Zhong's diagnosis and treatment.

Before he entered, the wet nurse was already feeling unwell. Lan Zhi was my servant girl after all, so she didn't dare to neglect him. She just assumed he was tired, so she was placed in the room where the gatekeepers usually kept watch. Later on, when Huang Gongzi was giving acupuncture treatment for Second Young Master, the daughter of the gatekeeper Old Mrs. Huang, Erxi, came in to inform Huang Gongzi that the wet nurse was screaming about a stomachache and wanted to invite him over to have a look. When Lan Zhi saw that Huang Gangzhong was still treating the family's justice, she told Erxi to tell the Gu family to wait a little longer, even if she had more face than a servant. However, it was too late when Huang Lang rushed over once he found out what had happened. The Gu family was lying on the bed, gasping for air, crying and howling at the same time.

"Miss, I …"

Lan Zhi stood in front of me, her legs tucked under her, not knowing how to explain.

I couldn't help but smile bitterly. What was there to say? Even if she was a servant, it would still be normal for her to be beaten to death if she didn't feel comfortable, let alone in such a situation. No matter who it was, it would still be dealt with in such a way.

But I don't know why, but I feel terrible inside.

Perhaps it's because the Gu family is like me in the past, being held up by others when they can be of use, not knowing how high the heavens are or how deep the earth is. However, at the moment of life and death, being abandoned like a pair of old shoes on the street is a piece of cake, life and death is up to the heavens. Or perhaps, it's because, just like the Gu Clan, my life is now being held in the palm of someone's hand and I am being toyed with.

Being in the same boat with others would always make people feel a little more pity.

Perhaps it was due to my expression not looking too well that Lan Zhi, who was already anxious, jumped in fright. Her face paled as she knelt before me.

"Miss, it's all this servant's fault, this servant was really …"

Lan Zhi held onto the corner of her shirt and could not finish her sentence. There was a trace of confusion and grievance in the corners of her eyes.

She probably didn't know what she had done wrong.

The strong preyed on the weak. This was a matter of course. A master servant could only save one, and anyone could only choose the one with the highest status.

Even the young maid knew of this logic, yet I was actually reminiscing about it here.

"Hurry up and get up!"

I hurriedly pulled Lan Zhi to her feet. "You did not do anything wrong. I was just feeling sorry for my mother!"

Lan Zhi nodded, tears in her eyes.

"I have a lot of things to do at home recently. It's all thanks to you looking at my house." I smiled and patted her hand. Lan Zhi smiled shyly and opened her mouth to say something, but I quickly cut in. "Well done is well done. If you don't do it well, you don't have to decline. You've even seen what happened in the past few days, one ring after another without missing a beat. Clearly, this was already planned long ago. I'm afraid that it will take some time before we can sort out these random things in the family, the Green Bandits are locked up, and only you and Lan Leng are left by my side, so I'll leave all my rooms to you. "

I carefully examined her. Although Lan Zhi's eyes were red, she didn't seem surprised. It was evident that she had her own thoughts on this matter. She had already expected that I would make such arrangements.

I looked at the slim and graceful woman in front of me and felt a little more satisfied.

If you want to sort out the things that have happened in my house recently, there can't be a single mistake in my house!
