The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 243 Coma

Doctor Wen hesitated.

"I'm not sure. If you're worried, you might as well ask a few more doctors to come and take a look."

"No need!" Lu Tingen replied.

"I believe in Doctor Wen's medical skills."

Doctor Wen shook his head, got in his carriage, and left the Marquis' Mansion.

Lu Tingen walked back slowly.

Leng Qingyu's current state was beyond his expectations, but also under control.

Maybe everyone's body is different, so the reaction is different?

Lu Tingen comforted himself in this way.

But he was still a little worried and decided to wait and see for a few days.

At the same time, in the small courtyard.

Ye Xinran asked Ding Qiao to guard the door.

She quickly walked to the bedside and took out the four silver needles she had implanted from Leng Qingyu's feet and head.

It was because of these four silver needles that Leng Qingyu's pulse became abnormal.

The moment the silver needle was taken out, Leng Qingyu let out a long breath.

She opened her eyes, looked around first, and then looked at Ye Xinran: "Has the imperial physician been here?"

"I've been here!" Ye Xinran replied.

Then he helped Leng Qingyu up and handed her a cup of tea.

Leng Qingyu drank half a glass of water and moved his hands and feet. He felt that there was nothing wrong with his body. Then he asked Ye Xinran: "What did the imperial physician say? Did he find the flaw?"

"I guess he didn't see it."

Ye Xinran recalled what the imperial physician had said just now, "But he couldn't diagnose your current condition either. He said he had to go back and study it before prescribing any medicine."

"It's good that you didn't see it."

Leng Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief.

"What did Lu Tingen say?"

"He's out to see the doctor off. He'll be back soon. I'll let the curtain down. Just lie down on the bed and don't make any noise."

As she finished her words, Lu Tingen had already entered the yard.

Seeing that the room was ready, Ding Qiao did not stop him and let the man in.

Lu Tingen walked to the bed, gently lifted the curtain, and looked at Leng Qingyu who was sleeping soundly. He suddenly had an idea: It would be nice if Qingyu could sleep like this forever.

"My Lord, my mother is not in good health and cannot be exposed to the wind."

Ye Xinran reminded.

Only then did Lu Tingen lower the curtain awkwardly.

"Your mother is not in good health. I will take care of her these days."

"No need, I'll do it. After all, I know a little bit about medicine, and I can take better care of you than the Marquis."

"Before you came, I was the one who took care of your mother when she had a headache or a fever. After all, we have been married for so many years, and we understand each other better than you do."

Lu Tingen still insisted.

Ye Xinran didn't have the patience to continue arguing with him, "Ding Qiao, get him out!"

Ding Qiao heard the order, bowed to the Marquis, and then extended his hand: "Marquis, please!"

Lu Tingen had no choice but to say, "Since you insist on being filial, then stay with your mother. But you must take good care of her."

After saying that, he left the yard.

Lu Zhiyi had been waiting outside for a long time. When he saw Lu Tingen coming out, he hurried forward and asked, "Dad, what happened to my mom?"

Lu Tingen shook his head. "He is unconscious, and the imperial physician has not found the cause of his illness. We need to go back and continue our research."

Lu Zhiyi was anxious, "Can mother wake up? If she doesn't wake up, what will happen to my dowry?"

Lu Tingen sighed angrily.

"At this time, you are still thinking about your dowry. Your mother is ill in bed and no one is taking care of the store. Shouldn't you go to the store and help your mother manage the accounts?"

Lu Zhiyi was stunned when he heard this.

Shouldn't she be serving him at his bedside at this time? Why did her father suddenly ask her to take care of the accounts?

"But I haven't been there for a long time. After my mother returned to the capital, she kept saying that she wanted to take care of the silk shop's accounts herself."

"Your mother is in a coma now, how can she take care of her? If you don't go, do you have to wait for Ye Xinran to take over?"

Lu Zhiyi suddenly realized.

It turned out that my father wanted me to take over the silk shop while my mother was unconscious.

If the silk shop really belonged to her, then what dowry would she want?

At that time, I wanted whatever I wanted!

"Dad, I understand. I'll go right away!"

Lu Zhiyi straightened her hair and asked her maid to go out with her.

Lu Tingen looked at her back and couldn't help but sigh. Why was her and Yu'er's child so stupid?

She is so likable and can read people's expressions, but she knows nothing about business.

If she could have half of Leng Qingyu's abilities, she would be more useful in the future.

Pity.

Ye Xinran seems to have a lot of ideas in business.

But given Ye Xinran's current condition, there was no way she could join him.

We can only wait until Leng Qingyu’s matter is resolved before we can get rid of her.

It was too easy for the Lu family to get rid of a daughter who had little presence.

Lu Tingen was full of plans and had already decided which treasure he would take from the warehouse as a gift after Leng Qingyu left.

Ye Xinran also began to plan for revenge.

There are many chemicals in her laboratory that can be used as poisons individually.

But there is no guarantee that things like this cannot be detected at all.

Poison like the forget-me-not would take too long to develop, and she couldn't afford to wait.

So her initial plan was to use the simplest method.

Cefuroxime goes with wine.

After Lu Tingen had drunk the wine, she would feed him a few cephalosporin pills at random. By then, even if all the doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau were dispatched, they would not be able to find the problem with the medicine.

But this method has a limitation.

But she didn't know when Lu Tingen would drink.

It is not easy to feed cefuroxime to Lu Tingen.

She needs a good solution.

Ye Xinran thought about it silently and finally came up with a feasible solution.

……

In the evening, Lu Zhiyi returned home.

As soon as they met, she started crying and got angry at Lu Tingen.

"Dad, the shopkeeper Wan in the silk shop is such a jerk. He doesn't even take me, the eldest daughter, seriously. He even said that I can't touch the shop's account books without mother's order!"

Lu Tingen was in a good mood.

Seeing his daughter like this, he rarely showed any patience.

"Haven't you been in the store for a few months and are familiar with them? Why won't they let you touch them?"

"That's right!"

Lu Zhiyi's face was filled with resentment. "He's just a shopkeeper. Why are you pretending? Dad, can you tell them to change the shopkeeper tomorrow? I can't stand this!"

Lu Tingen was a little embarrassed.

Since the day they got married, he has not been involved in Leng Qingyu's business.

Leng Qingyu is generous with money, but he always has his own principles when it comes to hiring people in the store.

She doesn't like others telling her what to do with her business.

So even if he went to the store, the shopkeeper and the waiter might not give him face.

"Now is not the time."

Lu Tingen had no choice but to comfort his daughter.

“Your mother is just unconscious now, and those people in the store won’t listen to us.

Wait a little longer, until your mother's matter is settled, then go and settle the matter at the store."

"Has the issue with mom been resolved?" Lu Zhiyi opened his eyes wide.

"I mean, wait until your mother gets better!"

Lu Tingen had to explain.

Although Lu Zhiyi was on his side, he was worried that Lu Zhiyi might leak those words out.

"OK then!"

Lu Zhiyi felt a little sad.

Ever since Ye Xinran came back, my mother's attitude towards me has become worse and worse, and now even my father is so perfunctory to me.

Lu Zhiyi thought.

It turned out that she still needed to find a truly reliable backer.

……

The next day, Ye Xinran got up early in the morning and asked the servants in the mansion to help her collect the frost on the tiles.

When Lu Tingen got up, the yard was still bustling with activity.

Several servants were waiting with a ladder to reach the frost on the eaves.

"What are you doing?"

Lu Tingen asked.

The housekeeper quickly responded: "My Lord, it's the eldest lady..."

"I asked them to do it. I wanted to collect the frost on the tiles." Ye Xinran answered proactively.

"What are you doing this for?" Lu Tingen was puzzled.

“Make medicine!”

"Making medicine?"

"Yes!" Ye Xinran said seriously, "My master taught me a secret recipe. It can only be made with water that has melted frost on the tiles."

"What does your medicine treat?" Lu Tingen was a little worried.

I’m afraid Ye Xinran really has some secret recipe that can cure the poison.

Ye Xinran said, "It's not a powerful prescription, but my mother can't eat right now. I want to make her some heart-nourishing pills so that she can at least stay healthy before she wakes up."

"Oh, right!"

Ye Xinran paused and said, "I can make more and give some to the Marquis."

"No need, no need!"

Lu Tingen waved his hands repeatedly.

Ye Xinran smiled but said nothing.

A few days later, Ye Xinran's medicine was ready.

During this period, she also visited Prince Rui's Palace.

However, I didn't stay too long because I was worried about my family, so I returned home after only half a day.

What she called the Heart-Nourishing Pills were actually Hawthorn Pills.

But she had mixed a large amount of cephalosporin powder into each hawthorn pill.

After Ye Xinran finished, she gave a box to Lu Tingen as she had said before.

"It's just a casual thing. You're welcome."

She said coldly.

Lu Tingen then took it. He didn’t want to keep it, but he didn’t want to throw it away either, so he finally took it back to his room.

But he just stuffed it into the bookshelf.

He would never eat anything Ye Xinran gave him.

……

Lu Tingen's reaction was within Ye Xinran's expectations.

He didn't trust Ye Xinran at all, and would not eat anything she gave him at this time.

But there was no way, they underestimated Lu Tingen's determination to take action.

Although Leng Qingyu is the best candidate to take action, he should be poisoned and unconscious at this time.

If I stay awake, it will arouse Lu Tingen's suspicion.

So Ye Xinran had to find a solution on her own.

Ye Xinran was not in a hurry.

Apart from taking a walk in the yard every day, she would stay in the house to write and prepare perfume to keep Leng Qingyu company.

Every time Lu Tingen came, he could see her carefully grinding the ingredients for making incense.

This made Lu Tingen begin to doubt whether Ye Xinran really cared about Leng Qingyu.

"Your mother has been taking the medicine prescribed by Doctor Wen for two days, but she still hasn't gotten any better. Are you still insisting on not letting the doctor from Shunyitang come to see her?"

He questioned Ye Xinran.

Ye Xinran raised her head and said calmly, "Diseases come like a mountain falling, and go away like a thread being pulled out. My mother's illness came strangely. Let's take some more medicine and see how it goes!"

"It's already this time, and you're still so stubborn. Sometimes I even doubt whether you're our biological daughter! Are you really not here to hurt Qingyu on purpose?"

"My Lord," Ye Xinran said coldly, "Haven't we already verified whether I am your biological child? If you don't believe me, shall we verify it again?"

Lu Tingen did not agree.

The same result was obtained after testing again.

Ye Xinran continued, "Besides, the nourishing ointment I made for mom is very effective. Look at mom's complexion. Isn't it much better than before? If mom wants to sleep for a few days like this to recuperate, there's nothing wrong with that."

Lu Tingen looked over as Ye Xinran said and saw that Leng Qingyu's face was indeed rosy.

Although she had been sleeping, her appearance was not affected, but became even more beautiful.

"Does your Yangxin ointment really have such an effect?"

Lu Tingen asked casually.

Ye Xinran answered proudly: "Of course! After all, it is Master's best recipe."

Lu Tingen nodded.

Before leaving, he glanced at Leng Qingyu again as if possessed by a ghost, and felt that her face looked even more radiant.

Lu Tingen's heart moved.

I went to my room and found the box of heart-nourishing pills that Ye Xinran had given me.

He opened the box, and a fresh herbal fragrance immediately wafted out.

There are two layers in total, with ten pills on each layer.

Lu Tingen gently picked up one, put it under his nose and smelled it, it still had a faint herbal scent.

If a person who has fainted can look radiant after eating it, will a normal person be even better after eating it?

he thinks.

But soon, he gave up the idea.

No, you can’t eat it.

In the next two days, every time Lu Tingen went to see Leng Qingyu, he would take a look at Leng Qingyu's expression.

I found that she was really getting better and better.

Lu Tingen felt more and more itchy.

It should be fine, right?

While he was thinking about it, the maid Xiao Cui came over and served him tea.

Lu Tingen's eyes turned and he called out to Xiao Cui who was about to leave.

"Wait a moment."

Xiao Cui was startled and quickly turned around and knelt down, "This servant deserves death. I don't know what I did wrong. Please punish me, my lord!"

Lu Tingen looked at her and asked, "Who said I was going to punish you?"

As he spoke, he took out a pill from the box and handed it to Xiao Cui, "Here, this is a reward for you."

Xiao Cui was surprised.

The master rewards himself with a pill, what does this mean?

She hesitantly reached out her hand and took the pill.

Then I heard Lu Tingen say, "Eat!"

Xiao Cui quickly put the pill into her mouth and swallowed it.

Before eating, she had already prepared for the worst: Is the Marquis going to test the medicine on me?

But as soon as she took the pill, she changed her mind.

This pill is sweet and sour, and although it has a slightly bitter taste, it is much better than ordinary pills.

Lu Tingen looked at the change in her expression and couldn't help asking, "Is it delicious?"

"good to eat!"

Xiao Cui nodded repeatedly.

"Thank you, Lord, for the medicine!"

Lu Tingen looked at her several times, and finally waved his hand: "You go down first!"
