Chapter 162 Falling Ill, Returning to the Capital
"Madam, something happened outside." The old woman said softly, coming to Chen Fang's side and lowering her voice even more, "I'm afraid Master Maochun can't be saved this time."
Chen Fang's face changed drastically, and after a long while, she slowly said, "I understand. Don't tell anyone about this, especially Bai Yuzhu."
The old woman lowered her head and said, "I understand."
After she left, Chen Fang called the maid again and gave her instructions in a low voice.
At noon that day, after Bai Yuzhu had lunch, the maid brought her the prepared medicine soup.
She looked at the dark brown medicine soup in front of her and frowned in disgust: "I don't want to drink it."
The maidservant gently advised her, "Young Madam, you should take the medicine. You've been so stressed out these past few days, and the doctor said it's because of your depression, so he prescribed medicine for you. If you don't take it now, how will you ever get better? The young lady and the young master still depend on you."
Bai Yuzhu thought of her young children and Xu Maochun who was imprisoned, and knew that she really could not fall down, so she had to bite the bullet and finish drinking the medicine.
The medicine is bitter and doesn't taste good.
Bai Yuzhu suppressed her nausea and swallowed it.
Fortunately, the maid brought her honey water to rinse her mouth in time. She rinsed it several times and put a candied fruit in her mouth before she finally suppressed the bitter taste.
Then she asked someone to bring the account book so that she could take a closer look.
But she didn't expect that she would start to feel dizzy and as if she had caught a cold before long.
Bai Yuzhu rubbed her eyebrows hard and washed her face with cold water, but found that it had no effect.
Not only that, her head became increasingly dizzy, and she even began to lose her balance.
Just when she was about to fall, the maid caught her and looked at her with a worried look on her face: "Young Madam, what's wrong with you?"
"I……"
Bai Yuzhu opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but her vision suddenly went dark and she quickly collapsed.
The maid's face changed and she quickly helped her lie down on the bed.
Bai Yuzhu fell ill like this.
Not only did she fall ill, the entire Baojieyuan was also under strict surveillance, and no one was allowed to enter or leave at will.
But these people can't stop Falcon and Xiangxiang.
After seeing the excitement at Xie's house, Xiangxiang took the falcon back to the Princess's house.
Just after they left Xie's house, the starling that had been hiding finally mustered up the courage to fly out.
It was frightened by the falcon, so when the falcon left, it started running around the house, yelling in a small voice: "No, no ...
When Chen Fang heard the bird's noise, he became more and more annoyed and irritated, so he ordered his servants to catch the bird.
The starling was now even more panicked. After running around for a while, it flew directly out of Xie's house.
He was still flying, shouting at the top of his lungs: "It's not good - Old Master, it's not good - Old Master, it's not good -"
The neighbors heard the noise and looked out in surprise: Is the old man from the Xie Mansion in trouble? Is he going to die?
As a result, the news that the old master of the Xie family was going to die spread quickly, making the old lady Xie and the old master Xie very angry.
At the Princess's Mansion, Xie Ying saw Xiangxiang and Liefun returning, and learned that Bai Yuzhu had suddenly fallen ill, and immediately had a guess.
[It seems Chen Fang already knew the news and was worried that Bai Yuzhu would cause trouble, so she deliberately drugged her.]
Xie Ying pouted sarcastically, thinking that it would be a good thing for Bai Yuzhu to fall ill.
Although this woman is not a good person, she is not stupid.
When she fell ill this time, she would definitely quickly guess that it was Chen Fang who was behind it.
The more ill she is now, the deeper her hatred for Chen Fang becomes.
Thinking of what Bai Yuzhu did in the original book, Xie Ying made a decisive decision: when night comes, let Xiangxiang go over and add some fuel to her fire to make her feel uncomfortable for a few more days.
So at night, Xie Ying immediately asked Xiangxiang to add ingredients to Bai Yuzhu, and then went to Chen's house to find the Gu Master.
Unfortunately, Xiangxiang searched for the entire night and turned almost the entire Chen Mansion upside down, but still couldn't find the Gu Master.
Obviously the other party was not in Chen's house.
Otherwise, with Xiangxiang's ability, it would be impossible for her to not find it.
You know, as a mutant plant, Xiangxiang is extremely sensitive to the scent of different organisms.
A Gu Master must be carrying various Gu insects, and his aura will be very different from that of an ordinary person.
If this person were hiding in the Chen Mansion, he would be as obvious to Xiangxiang as a candle in the dark night.
So since Xiangxiang couldn't find anyone in Chen's house, it meant that the other person must be hiding somewhere else.
If you think about it carefully, this is actually not surprising.
Anyone who is human will stay away from the Gu Master.
Even if Duke Cheng'en hired a Gu master, he still had to guard against him secretly poisoning the Chen family.
Leaving the Gu Master in the mansion would obviously be a huge hidden danger.
I just don't know where this Gu Master is hiding.
We still have to find a way to find the other party as soon as possible.
In order to find the Gu Master, Xie Ying then asked Xiangxiang to secretly keep an eye on the Cheng'en Mansion.
Unfortunately, after five days, the flowers and trees in the Cheng'en Mansion began to wither one after another, and she still could not find the Gu Master.
The Chen family, on the other hand, was very cautious.
As soon as the flowers and trees began to wither, Lord Cheng'en staged a feng shui killing scheme himself and spread the news to the outside world, saying that someone deliberately destroyed the Chen family's feng shui and wanted to kill everyone in the Chen family.
Chen Shou suddenly fell ill because the Chen family had bad feng shui.
The Chen family also used this as an excuse to dig up all the flowers and trees and replace them with new ones. However, it was hot today, and while the potted plants could be replaced, the larger flowers and trees were difficult to survive after being planted, so they could only wait until the weather cooled down.
Now, the originally lush and green Cheng'en Mansion suddenly became bare, and could only be covered with potted plants.
However, without the shade of the lush trees, the sunlight in Cheng'en Mansion became dazzling, making everyone in the Chen family very uncomfortable.
Perhaps because they were afraid of losing face, the Chen family simply closed the door and refused to see anyone.
Even if a servant occasionally left the house, it was not to see the Gu Master.
Xie Ying focused her attention for five days. Although she saw some interesting things, she still couldn't find the Gu Master, which made her feel depressed.
Fortunately, Luo Zheng was finally escorted back to the capital with the miracle doctor.
They returned to the capital on the sixth day, and it wasn't just them who came back, but also Xie Jia and her lover!
Xie Ying was shocked when she heard the news!
In the original book, Xie Jia and her lover were forcibly taken back to the capital by Xie Xiu, so why are they back with Luo Zheng now?
Not only was she surprised, but Xie Xiu and Tu Jiaojiao were also very surprised.
Unfortunately, Luo Zheng entered the palace as soon as he came back, so they couldn't ask Luo Zheng. So they went directly to Xie's house under the pretext of worrying about their sister.
The two did not bring their children this time, so that no one would use the children as an excuse to say they were a disaster.
Xie Ying was a little depressed that she couldn't go to watch the show in person, so she could only secretly plant seeds on the two of them and plan to eavesdrop.
The doorman of the Xie Mansion changed his expression in shock when he saw Xie Xiu and Tu Jiaojiao.
Then he opened the door for them obediently and did not dare to refuse them entry.
Seeing the doorman being so obedient, Tu Jiaojiao couldn't help but raise an eyebrow in surprise and whispered to Xie Xiu, "Why is this doorman so straightforward? Isn't he afraid of the old lady's blame?"
Xie Xiu chuckled, "Being blamed by the old lady is better than following in Li Kun's footsteps and losing my life."
Tu Jiaojiao thought of Li Kun and immediately understood the doorman's concerns.
So without any more questions, he went in happily with Xie Xiu.
After the two of them left, the doorman, who had been worried the whole time, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then he rolled his eyes in frustration and secretly complained in his heart: "Can't you two talk about this after you go in? I heard it all!"
Don't think he doesn't know. The other party clearly said it to him on purpose to intimidate him!
He is not as stupid as Li Kun!
The doorman curled his lips, then remembered Xie Jia who had just returned, and quickly hid in the small room next door.
With the second young lady back, the mansion will probably be even more lively. He is just a small doorman, so he'd better hide.
On the other side, Xie Xiu and Tu Jiaojiao walked all the way in and called the servants to ask.
Upon learning that Xie Jia was now in Chen Fang's yard, he hurried over.
As soon as he entered Du Heng Courtyard, he heard the voice of a shrewd girl: "Mother, haven't I returned safely? Why are you crying? The most important thing is to prepare my marriage!"
The two of them couldn't help but look at each other, their hearts filled with growing surprise: Didn't Xie Jia run away with someone? Why did she suddenly come back? And was she even planning a wedding?
