Chapter 35: Recovery from Serious Illness
Recovery from a serious illness
Yin Ruofei stood to one side, quietly listening to the few people chatting. Mr. Han, so Master's surname was Han. Previously, he had never heard anyone call Master by his surname, so after he reincarnated, he wanted to ask around, but couldn't find any leads.
I didn't expect them to have such a good affinity and meet so early. It's just unknown whether he is still the legitimate son of the Marquis Hou in this life, and whether Master will be willing to accept him as his disciple.
Mr. Han took out the prepared medicine and fed it to the old lady, who soon heard a rumbling sound in her stomach and vomited up a large amount of black substance.
"Alright." Mr. Han raised his eyebrows and came out of the inner hall, speaking to Yin Haicheng and Rong Jingze.
"Ah. Thank you, Mr. Han." Yin Haicheng and Yin Ruofei stood up simultaneously, only managing to utter a sentence before hastily rushing towards the inner chamber.
The dirty things have been swept clean, and the old lady is drinking the ginseng soup that Mr. Han had prepared earlier. After a bowl of soup, the old lady's complexion has obviously improved, and her original grayish-white color has recovered to about 70 or 80%.
"Cheng er, Fei er......" The old lady smiled, her voice still somewhat weak, but her articulation had improved significantly.
"Mother."
"Grandma..."
The three generations of grandmother, mother and son simply said a few words, then let Zhang's mother and others take care of the old lady to rest, and the father and son went out of the inner room again.
"This time, I truly thank Prince Wang and Mr. Han." He invited the two to the open hall, and Yin Haicheng sincerely thanked them while presenting a thick gift to Mr. Han. "I don't know what Prince Wang likes, and there's nothing precious here either. The other day, my son obtained a precious sword, I'll borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and give it to Prince Wang to appreciate."
Mr. Han originally didn't plan to accept it, but Rong Jingze smiled and persuaded him for a couple of sentences, so Mr. Han also smiled and accepted it. Rong Jingze turned his head to look at the treasured sword that Yin Haicheng had given him, and even though he was worldly-wise, his eyes still widened in surprise, and he exclaimed, "Chi Xiao?"
Seeing Yin Haicheng nodding, Rong Jingze was overjoyed. "Marquis Yin is too polite, Marquis Yin has made great contributions to the country, and the old lady of your mansion is seriously ill. It's also a small matter for me to help with what I can."
"It's good as long as the prince likes it." This sword is indeed extraordinary, and Yin Haicheng sent it out, not in vain.
This sword Chi Xiao had been obtained for some time, but the sword was a famous sword of the previous dynasty, extremely sharp and with a very heavy murderous aura.
He should have presented this treasure to the Emperor first, but on one hand it was a sharp object and the Emperor had never liked such things. On the other hand, there was no reason for him to present it without cause. He had already heard rumors that someone had informed the Emperor about his possession of the treasure, and he knew he needed to get rid of it as soon as possible.
Today, with this excuse, I'll give Chi Xiao to Ze Qīn Wáng, who is deeply favored by the Emperor, and settle a heart affair for him. Although it's a pity that Chi Xiao has fallen into the hands of someone who can't practice martial arts, thinking about it, entering the imperial family is also a good destination.
Watching Rong Jingze carefully examine the treasured sword in his hand, Yin Haicheng shifted his gaze to Mr. Han again. "Mr. Han, thanks to your timely assistance this time, otherwise... Alas, but this illness has come so suddenly, I don't know if Mr. Han can offer any guidance."
The illness of my mother, so many people can't find the cause, it's really unexpected. Today I saw my old mother vomiting black things, and I feel that it's not caused by the disease.
Mr. Han chuckled and said, "Lord Hou's words are indeed asking the right person." Mr. Han put down his tea cup and lightly smoothed out his sleeves. "If it's said that the old lady was ill, then that's definitely a lie, but if it's said that she was poisoned, then that's not entirely impossible either."
"Han Xiansheng's words are profound, please elaborate." Yin Haicheng looked puzzled.
Mr. Han looked around and Yin Haicheng understood, letting all the servants retreat. Rong Jingze spoke up, "There are my people around, don't worry."
Mr. Han nodded, "Yesterday when I took the pulse of the old lady, I found that her pulse was calm and her blood was full. For a person of her age, it can be said that she is well-preserved, and there is no sign of liver qi stagnation, which shows the filial piety of the marquis."
Yin Haicheng waved his hand repeatedly, but a smile appeared on his face. He valued filial piety the most, and when he heard these words from someone else's mouth, he naturally looked delighted.
However, the old lady showed a spiritless and languid appearance, with weak limbs, a dull tongue, and an inability to speak. Mr. Han shook his head, "This is also why your esteemed household has repeatedly invited doctors, but they couldn't find any cause for her illness."
The pulse is normal but there are symptoms on the body surface, this is indeed elusive.
Yin Haicheng nodded, "Then, Mr. Han, is this poisoning?"
"It's indeed poisoning, no doubt." Mr. Han nodded, "When I was young, I followed my family master to travel around the country and once saw a case in Qufu. Qufu values etiquette and filial piety, with many temples and thriving incense offerings. There was an old woman with a full house of grandchildren, over 100 years old, but suddenly became paralyzed and unable to speak."
Yin Haicheng and Yin Ruofei listened quietly, but both were thinking in their hearts, why did Mr. Han specially point out the multiple temples?
"The old lady searched everywhere for a famous doctor to cure her, but fortunately, our family teacher met him and gave him a prescription, which turned the danger into safety." Mr. Han paused, "This was originally a small matter, if not for seeing the old lady's condition yesterday, I suddenly remembered, I'm afraid it would have been forgotten too."
"Could this illness... be related to the temple?"
"That's right." Mr. Han took out a paper package from his pocket, which contained some powder, and handed it to Yin Haicheng. Yin Haicheng took it over and sniffed it lightly, finding that it was indeed the scent of incense ash.
"This..."
"If I'm not mistaken, the old lady must have ingested this incense ash. This incense is not used in just any temple, but is made from a very rare type of fragrant wood." Mr. Han lightly picked up some of the incense ash, "For most people, this would just be ordinary incense ash, eating it won't cure any illnesses, but it also won't kill you. However, for some people, that's a lethal poison."
Yin Haicheng suddenly understood, "Mr. Han is saying that Old Lady was poisoned by mistake?"
Knowing it wasn't someone poisoning him, Yin Haicheng's heart finally felt a bit more at ease.
"No." Mr. Han shook his head, "I asked Old Lady's maid Zhang Mama, although the old lady eats vegetarian food and takes tonics for nourishment, there is no Buddhist hall set up in this Fushou Courtyard. How could this incense ash have mistakenly entered the old lady's mouth!"
"Mr. Hai's thoughts are meticulous, but Mr. Cheng's considerations are not thorough. In that case, it seems someone has done this on purpose."
"Whether it's intentional or unintentional, it's no longer a concern for a rustic like me."
"Yes, thank you, Mr. Han, for your guidance." Yin Haicheng patted the person beside him, Yin Ruofei, "Ruofei, bow to Mr. Han on my behalf."
"Ah." Yin Ruofei responded with a crisp tone, before Mr. Han and the others could react, she had already knelt down on both knees and knocked her head three times.
"This, how can this be..." Mr. Han was startled, but he didn't dodge or hide, only bitterly smiling as he looked at Yin Haicheng. "I treated the old lady's illness due to fate, and speaking of which, Master Hou also sent me off with a heavy gift, so why would Young Master give such a grand gift again."
"Although Mr. Han's help was effortless, to Haicheng it was no less than a lifesaving favor; if I weren't afraid that the master would decline, I'd personally kowtow to him several times, what's the harm in that?"
Mr. Han looked at Yin Ruofei, who was getting up from his bow, and nodded secretly. This child is really well-born, looking like a clever and beautiful one. Turning his head to look at the middle-aged man opposite him, but also handsome and tall, Yin Haicheng knew that this child must have inherited the advantages of both parents, and thought that Mrs. Hou's wife was also a rare beauty.
"What is Little Master's title?"
"Sir just call me Yuer Fei." Yu Ruo Fei bowed slightly.
"Marquis has such a son, it's really a worthy successor." Mr. Han sincerely praised.
"Thanks to Mr. Tuo's blessing, this young man has always been mischievous, and I can only hope that he will make something of himself in the future." Yin Haicheng stroked his beard with a hearty laugh.
The illness was cured, and Yin Haicheng naturally wanted to set a banquet to entertain. However, Mr. Han still politely declined as he did yesterday, and left the Hou Mansion together with Rong Jingze.
Yin Ruofei let out a sigh of relief, finally sending off the big Buddha. There was nothing left for him to do here, so he naturally went to Fushou Temple to see how his grandmother was doing. Meanwhile, Yin Haicheng took Han Xiansheng's words to heart and invited Zhang Mama and others over, carefully inquiring about any unusual food or drink that the old lady had consumed before the incident, and instructing them not to spread the word.
Yin Ruofei wasn't worried that the matter would be dropped, if it were someone else, Yin Haicheng wouldn't care either. But if it was Old Madam, then it's different, they would turn Hou Manor upside down to find this person.
The old lady's body gradually recovered, and Yin Ruofei also started a normal life. Every morning she practiced martial arts, ate, went to school, and was picked up by the young servant in the evening. Things seemed to have calmed down unusually.
It's peaceful here, but some people's hearts are not at peace.
Kobayashi felt secretly pleased two days ago, and if she wasn't afraid of revealing her true intentions and inviting disaster, she would have almost held a banquet to celebrate. Even so, she often burst out laughing when no one was around.
She had always looked down on the old woman, who finally collapsed, unable to speak or move. The most frustrating thing was that no matter which famous doctor came, they couldn't figure out the cause.
Who would have thought that a prince would suddenly appear halfway, and then there's this divine doctor, but that's not all, her brother agreed to help her catch the little brat, but it turned out to be a mysterious bandit chase. In the end, the little brat was fine, but she almost got her waist broken.
Under clenched teeth, the Lin family could only use the excuse of adding some joy to the old lady by hosting a flower appreciation party, inviting several close friends and their wives, as well as calling over her brothers and sisters-in-law to ask what was going on!
Kobayashi endured the anger in her heart, put on a cheerful face, and brought several close maids to greet the successive arrival of various ladies from different families.
Kobayashi had also held such flower viewing parties, but they were all under the name of her sister, Ooba. Although Ooba was not in good health, she came out and chatted with the ladies for a while, then let the young ladies from each family walk around the garden.
This time, Kobayashi also sent out invitations to everyone. However, when she arrived at the flower hall, she found that there were very few people present, not even half of those she had invited.
Just as I was thinking about what had happened, the servants and housekeepers started coming over to deliver messages one after another. Some of the ladies were ill, some had to go to other houses, and others had rushed off to burn incense at the temple and didn't have time to come over.
Kobayashi didn't understand the underlying rules, she was looked down upon because of her concubine status and wasn't considered a potential partner. Looking at these people who came to visit, weren't they from lower social classes or those who had connections with the Lin family, or just trying to curry favor?
Kobayashi was secretly resentful, it's always people like this who come, no wonder those people didn't want to come.
Zheng was polishing, and He brought his daughter over to Xiao Lin.
The author has something to say: I've caught a cold... going to the hospital, hoping that my draft can hold on until I start writing...
Thank you for throwing thunderbolts at my sisters, I really love you guys~ Thank you for your support from the very beginning~ Thanks!
