Chapter 688: Patient and Doctor, Feelings!
"The doctor invited by the eldest lady? Is it true or false?" Qu Le's face was full of disbelief. He looked around and didn't find a servant or a maid. "Why did the person invited by the eldest lady leave the house?" There was no one to show you the way?"
Since he is the invited doctor, he must have someone to see him off, and right now Doctor Qiu is alone.
This matter is easy to understand. Doctor Qiu has lived in this mansion for almost three years. He usually walks alone. Shao Yanru never thought of seeing him off. He himself thought this was normal, but At the moment, Qule's words made him unable to answer for a while.
Just now, I brought up the name of the eldest lady just for the sake of convenience, just to avoid arousing suspicion and let him go quickly, but now I can't explain it.
He could only say vaguely: "I used to come to the mansion often for medical treatment, so naturally I don't need anyone to see me off. If you don't believe me, you can ask the eldest lady!"
The eldest lady and madam are the heads of the house, and Doctor Qiu is really not afraid of investigating.
"In the past, have you been going to the house to see a doctor? Whose disease have you seen?" Shao Wanru walked over slowly with a needle bag, his eyes fell on Doctor Qiu's face, and asked.
Dr. Qiu had seen a young lady before. Shao Wanru had been standing a little far away before, and it was inconvenient for him to stare at the young lady. Now when he saw Shao Wanru slowly coming over, he glanced up and did not recognize anyone.
"This is our fifth lady, why don't you reply quickly!" Qu Le scolded.
Doctor Qiu was stunned, and hurriedly lowered his head. He immediately remembered that this fifth young lady was not the one who had made a fuss in the house these days. Wang Yishu's matter was related to her. Wang Yishu sometimes kept scolding this fifth young lady. , it looked like he wanted to eat her flesh and drink her blood.
It can be said that Wang Yishu is in this situation because of Miss Shao Wu. Even if Doctor Qiu is not familiar with other people in the house, he is familiar with the affairs of Miss Shao Wu.
Moreover, his entry into the mansion was originally related to Miss Shao Wu!
Unexpectedly, the person in front of me was the one in front of me. The timing was wrong. It happened to be when the eldest lady wanted to be diagnosed and treated by me, and my wife was imprisoned in the ancestral hall.
"I've met the Fifth Miss!" Doctor Qiu composed himself and bowed his hands to Shao Wanru.
Shao Wanru gently waved her hand to indicate that he was welcome, "Are you the doctor who treats Miss Wang?"
Although she is not old, she has an extraordinary bearing. The three years in Yuhui'an have made her more and more settled. Her pair of deep watery eyes, just looking at her, seem to have a sharpness that can see through people's hearts, not to mention her words. It was even more straightforward, leaving no room for Dr. Qiu to avoid.
Doctor Qiu's heart skipped a beat. Miss Shao Wu was so extraordinary. No wonder it was said that Duke Xingguo and his wife were forced into the ancestral hall because of her.
"I'm here to treat Miss Wang!" Doctor Qiu lowered his head.
"How is Miss Wang's health? Why hasn't she recovered even after three years? When she suddenly fainted in the palace, the doctors all said that the phlegm fire was rising and she fainted for a while. Why hasn't it healed until now? ?”
Shao Wanru asked curiously, his gaze falling on Mrs. Qiu's body carefully.
Doctor Qiu had an inexplicable feeling that he was being watched closely by something. It was very dangerous. He frowned and felt that he had been too pampered in the past three years, and he actually felt that a little girl's eyes were so powerful. It was amazing, and even surprised me.
I think back when I was in Jiangnan, no matter what kind of person he was, when he was asked to see a doctor, he would say whatever he wanted. He would never have stage fright. Even if someone had an accident and came to him afterwards, he would not care. But when did a little girl look at him and panic him.
During the three years in the Xingguo Duke's Mansion, I have lived a somewhat peaceful life. In fact, these three years were also an accident. It did not need to last so long. The reason was of course because of Miss Shao Wu.
With the words of the imperial doctors in the palace, even though he felt that the fifth young lady did not understand medical skills, Doctor Qiu did not dare to speak carelessly. He thought about it for a while and then said slowly: "Originally, it is indeed phlegm that has confused the mind. It is not a big deal, but It was an accident when Miss Wang fell. She may have hit something somewhere, so even though she woke up in three years, she was unable to walk, and her health was getting worse. I'm afraid..."
Doctor Qiu sighed and shook his head when he said this.
In the past three years, Wang Yishu has indeed not appeared in front of people again. She lies in bed every day. On the one hand, it is because of illness, and on the other hand, it is indeed because her legs have always been weak. Although she is not paralyzed, she can hardly walk independently. This is also the case for Mrs. Xingguo. Rest assured that this is an important reason why Wang Yishu will continue to be raised in the Xingguo Palace.
Since I can't walk well on my feet, I can't go outside and talk nonsense, and I can't see other people. People won't be able to find out what happened in the palace. Even if a young lady befriended Wang Yishu and wanted to visit him, she was She gave up the excuse that she was really weak. In the past three years, Wang Yishu had not seen any outsiders.
"Can Miss Wang's health get better?" Shao Wanru glanced at Dr. Qiu's slightly lowered head and asked calmly.
"That's what I said... Miss Wang actually..." Dr. Qiu sighed again, hesitating to speak.
"Does Miss Wang have some secrets?" Qu Le interjected and asked, waving to Qing'er who got up from the ground and felt aggrieved, "You should be more careful yourself, let's see if the doctor gets hit by you too!"
Qing'er was very unconvinced, but looked at the cold-faced young lady, and then at the maid-looking Qu Le. She lowered her head to pick up the food basket that had fallen to the ground. After picking it up, she stood behind Shao Wanru. She glared at Dr. Qiu angrily, and at a glance she knew she was a little maid who dared to be angry but dare not speak out.
"I don't know what secrets Miss Wang has. I just heard Miss Wang talk about Miss Shao Wu many times and the things in the palace..." Dr. Qiu always said half words and left half words. This way of speaking is to attract people. People can't help but feel itchy and want to listen to all his words.
Shao Wanru's long eyelashes fluttered twice, but as if he had no curiosity, he handed the needle bag in his hand to Qu Le and asked her to return the needle bag to Dr. Qiu.
He turned around to go back.
Doctor Qiu took his needle bag and looked up at Shao Wanru who had taken two steps, feeling a little worried.
"Fifth Miss, if nothing is wrong, please go and see Miss Wang... Her body is like this, if she has any guilt, I am afraid she will leave and be sad!"
Doctor Qiu sighed again, his voice neither high nor low, just enough for Shao Wanru, who had just left, to hear him.
Shao Wanru stopped, turned to look at Dr. Qiu, and asked with an unchanging expression: "Ms. Wang feels uneasy, will she be sad?"
"Miss Wang must be just a weak girl in the boudoir after all. Even if she was instigated by others, she was just childish... But no matter what, she did feel sorry for the Fifth Miss. The Fifth Miss was generous and made her feel at ease. Let's go!" Doctor Qiu's expression became increasingly bleak.
Wang Yishu is his patient, and he is also a patient who has been diagnosed for three years. In three years, both the doctor and the patient will become familiar with each other, and then they will say things that they would not say in front of other people. What's more, Wang Yishu will die if he listens to his wishes.
When a person is about to die, he speaks well, not to mention that the dispute between Shao Wanru and Wang Yishu happened inexplicably. In the end, Wang Yishu was the one who got into trouble. He couldn't get up after lying down for three years, and he was about to die again. Speaking of which, Wang Yishu was also the one. A miserable life.
From this point of view, Shao Wanru should go see her no matter what.
Sure enough, Shao Tanru said calmly: "I will find time to see Miss Wang."
After speaking, he turned and left.
Qule and Qing'er hurriedly followed.
Looking at Shao Wanru's leaving figure, Doctor Qiu squeezed the needle bag in his hand and thought for a moment. Then he picked up his medicine box, packed the things in order, and after carrying the medicine box on his back, he thought about it. He turned in a different direction and did not go towards the hanging flower door.
After planning this matter for so long, I have to tell Mrs. Xingguo that even if Mrs. Xingguo cannot come out of the ancestral hall now, I can still report it...
"Doctor Qiu came to our house three years ago. It was a coincidence that the day he came to our house happened to be the day when the young lady recognized her ancestor and returned to the clan. It was on that day that he came into the house to treat Miss Wang, but At that time, I didn’t say that I would stay for a long time. I stayed in a guest room outside, and I said that I would leave in a few days. On the day when the lady went to Yuhui Temple, she officially moved into the Xingguo Duke’s Mansion.”
Several maids inquired about the news very quickly and sent their respective news to Shao Wanru.
If it were in the past, when Mrs. Xingguo was still in charge of the internal affairs, her inquiries would not have been so successful. However, a lot of things have happened in the mansion recently. The most surprising thing is the downfall of Mrs. Xingguo. Now the person in charge is San lady.
The third lady has never been in charge of the affairs of the inner courtyard before. The inner courtyard has always been controlled by Duke Xingguo and Mrs. Xingguo. Now she wants to take everything into her own hands, and is a little confused. In addition, Grandma Sheng has also followed Xingguo. The father-in-law and his wife entered the ancestral hall together, and the house was in chaos.
Many servants are hesitant, not knowing whether to find a new master or waiting for the day when their master will make a comeback. Their hesitation leads to confusion among themselves. This is the easiest time to inquire about news, not to mention Mrs. Qiu's affairs. Many people know this and it is not a secret.
It's just because Doctor Qiu only interacts with Wang Yishu and the place where he lives now, and he rarely meets people from the mansion, and he doesn't meet many people.
"How come he came to our house by such a coincidence?" Shao Wanru pondered for a moment, but felt that this was too much of a coincidence. Doctor Qiu is not from the capital, so why did he come just as Wang Yishu came out? At this speed , it’s not like he came to Beijing just because something happened to Wang Yishu, that means he didn’t come to Beijing because of Wang Yishu.
His heart moved slightly, and he turned to Qing'er: "Qing'er, go check on this Doctor Qiu. Before he came to the mansion, is he related to the Prime Minister Wen's Mansion next door?"
