Chapter 227 The Madam’s Illness (3)
After returning home, Zhu Mama, Zhu Qingqing, and the others couldn't wait to jump into the bathroom and enjoy a warm, comfortable bath. They felt relaxed, as if all their fatigue had been washed away by the water. Not only that, they also brought back a slew of delicious food, the aroma of which was truly mouth-watering.
After everything was ready, they decided to hold a warm and cozy fireside tea-making activity at Qingfengju to relax and take a half-day break.
Just as everyone had settled down around the fire, ready to sip tea and chat, they heard the sound of hurried footsteps. Then, like a gust of wind, Wang Xiangdong rushed into the room, his face filled with anxiety, shouting, "Doctor Chen! Doctor Chen! Sister Zhu! This is terrible! There's a patient who needs treatment. Doctor Zhu wants you to hurry to the main courtyard to help!"
Hearing this, Mother Zhu, who had been leisurely and contented, stood up instantly and said without hesitation: "Okay, let's go!" Her movements were clean and neat, without any drag.
Wang Xiangdong saw this and immediately turned around, striding forward to lead the way. Zhu Qingqing followed closely behind her mother without hesitation.
At this time, Zhu Yingying, who was lagging behind, asked hesitantly, "Should we go together?" Zhu Qingqing looked back at her sister, Yu Bo, and her daughter, and answered decisively, "You and Yu Bo Didi stay here." Zhu Yingying nodded, indicating that she agreed with her sister's arrangement, and then said, "Okay."
Then, she turned to look at Yu Bodidi beside her, and suggested with a smile: "In that case, let's drink tea here and talk about business." Yu Bodidi also responded with a smile: "Yeah, okay. It's time to put our shop plan on the agenda." So the two of them sat back in their seats and began to discuss various matters related to the shop.
As they were talking, Wang Xiangdong and Zhu's mother had already walked out the door. Zhu Qingqing hurriedly followed them.
Mother Zhu looked solemn. As she walked quickly, she asked Wang Xiangdong, "Little Wang, what's going on with the eldest lady?"
Wang Xiangdong quickly replied, "I just heard the news too. It seems that the first lady accidentally had a miscarriage. The doctor had prescribed her some medicine before, and she has taken several doses! I thought she was fine, but who knew..." Having said that, he paused for a moment, as if hesitating whether to continue.
Seeing this, Mother Zhu quickly asked, "What happened? Go on! What happened next?"
Xiao Wang took a deep breath and continued, "Originally, the Madam's health seemed to have almost recovered. But unexpectedly, for some reason, her condition suddenly worsened today, and I heard she's bleeding profusely!"
After hearing this, Mother Zhu's eyebrows knitted together, as if tied in a knot. Her lips moved slightly as she murmured, "This is heavy bleeding caused by a miscarriage... Logically, the doctor had already prescribed the medicine, and with careful care, this shouldn't have happened. Could it be that there's some residue left inside that hasn't been cleaned out?" The thought, like a sharp thorn, pierced Mother Zhu's heart, causing her heart to tighten. At the same time, her previously steady steps quickened, as if propelled by an invisible hand.
Before long, the group arrived at the main courtyard gate. Two petite maids were standing quietly there, waiting. When they saw Guard Wang leading the group, one of them hurried forward, bowed respectfully, and said softly, "Everyone, please follow me." Then, she turned and led the way.
The road was full of twists and turns, turning left and right. After passing through countless corridors and paths, they finally arrived at the courtyard where the eldest lady lived.
As Mother Zhu followed, she secretly complained in her heart: "Alas! This yard is too big, and there are too many houses, which is not always a good thing. If there is no one to lead the way, it will take a lot of effort just to find a place."
Several people filed in. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw the Second Madam standing outside anxiously, craning her neck to look in their direction, looking like an ant on a hot pan. Seeing Mother Zhu and the others arrive, the Second Madam's face immediately lit up with joy. She quickly came over to greet them, personally reaching out to open the curtains, and repeatedly saying, "Madam Zhu, you're finally here! Please come in!" Then, she let Mother Zhu and Zhu Qingqing into the house.
Wang Xiangdong was waiting outside.
There were several maids standing in the yard. They stood outside the door with anxious looks on their faces, pacing back and forth, looking into the house from time to time, their hearts full of worry and uneasiness.
Inside the house, Father Zhu was carefully removing the silver needle from the eldest lady.
The eldest lady just woke up for a moment and then fainted again.
At this moment, Mother Zhu hurried in. When Father Zhu saw her, he hurried over and said, "Doctor Chen, you're finally here!" His tone revealed a hint of urgency.
Mother Zhu nodded slightly, quickly scanning the situation in the room, and then asked, "Old Zhu, what's going on?"
Father Zhu took a deep breath, collected himself, and replied, "According to my preliminary diagnosis, the reason this lady is in such a critical condition is due to heavy bleeding caused by a miscarriage. The previous doctor's prescription was not problematic, but he probably didn't anticipate that this lady would be pregnant with twins. Now, one of the fetuses has unfortunately been miscarried, but the other is still in her womb... However, after all this trouble, it's probably gone. We need to find a solution quickly..."
Upon hearing this, Mother Zhu instantly understood the seriousness of the situation. Without hesitation, she took over the conversation and said, "Okay, leave the rest to me!" Then she strode to the bedside and began to carefully observe the patient's condition.
