Mrs. Li's eyelids drooped, and she sighed after a while.
Mr. Li Sanye’s behavior is becoming less and less like a normal person.
There was a knock on the door. The maids and servants who had been blocking the door urged Mrs. Li to leave quickly. "The Third Madam is ill and needs to rest. The doctor has told her not to see anyone."
Before Mrs. Li could say anything, Wei Yuyou suddenly burst into tears, holding her hand tightly and shaking his head at her silently.
After the room was strangely quiet for a while, Mrs. Li raised her voice and said to the outside: "Come and have a look, the third wife seems..." Taking advantage of this gap, she whispered to Wei Yuyou: "If you want to see your family, listen to me. I have a dose of medicine here. If you take it, you will feel dizzy..."
Some medicines are added with honeysuckle and tortoise shell chrysanthemum. If taken on an empty stomach, it will cause numbness in the mouth and tongue, headache, chills, and general weakness.
Wei Yuyou looked at her strangely, and seeing that the girl's face was full of disbelief, he looked at Mrs. Li.
Mrs. Li looked at her quietly without dodging: "I want to make good relations with the Wei family. This medicine is specially brewed by me. It is not a tonic, and it is not suitable for your disease. You will feel uncomfortable after drinking it. When there is a commotion at home, while my uncle is not here... maybe there is a way."
The maid outside couldn't help but bang on the door. When it couldn't be opened, she knocked on the door and asked, "Madam, please don't scare us. What happened? What happened to the Third Madam?"
Li San asked them to watch over people. If someone died, they would not have a good life and would probably be in big trouble.
Wei Yuyou turned his head and stared at Mrs. Li, seeming to be hesitating whether to believe it or not.
But Mrs. Li had no reason to harm her. She was in this state now. All the people around her were taken away by Li San. There was not even anyone who could go out and report the news.
Just as the first wife said, if she really wanted to go out, perhaps she could only seize this opportunity. The family was in chaos and Li San was not at home, so the first wife could send the message.
The knocking on the door outside was getting louder and louder. The maids could no longer hold back and shouted everywhere to find something to break the door open. Li San was always very cruel to his servants and everyone was afraid of him. No one would dare to ignore his instructions.
Wei Yuyou made up her mind, reached out and picked up the bowl of cold medicine and drank it all, and immediately felt a little nauseous. But she still forced herself to hold it, holding the eldest wife's hand, and taking advantage of this last bit of time, she lowered her voice and hurriedly said: "Thank you, sister-in-law, if I can go home... I will never forget you."
Mrs. Li clapped her hands, and when she could no longer hold back and bent over to vomit, sweat oozing from her forehead, she hurriedly shouted, "Third sister-in-law! Third sister-in-law, don't scare me, Third sister-in-law! What the hell is wrong with you?!"
The maids outside had found a thick wooden stake and quickly opened the door. They saw Wei Yuyou lying dying in the quilt without a sound. There was a pile of vomit on the ground. They were stunned.
The eldest wife was at a loss, "Third sister-in-law! Third sister-in-law, don't scare me, third sister-in-law!"
As she started crying, the people below became even more anxious. The maid who came in was very capable. She calmed down in a few seconds. Seeing that the first wife was just crying, she hurriedly asked, "First wife, please don't cry first. Amitabha, if something happens to the third wife, we can't escape the responsibility. Please pity us. What is going on?"
The eldest wife was extremely anxious. She held the hand of the maid next to her, her nails digging into her flesh without her noticing. She choked and spoke incoherently, "I don't know what happened. I couldn't wake her up at first. I was afraid something might happen to her, so I pushed her a few times. Who knew that when she woke up, she foamed at the mouth, her limbs twitched, and even her eyes rolled back... I was so scared that I hurriedly pinched her philtrum, and she became like this... She was vomiting and fainting... Could it be that she is dying..."
Everyone was stunned and looked at each other.
The same maid took a few steps forward and frowned to sniff Wei Yuyou's breath: "Why does the vomit smell so strongly of medicine..."
Mrs. Li went forward calmly and agreed: "Yes, that's what I said too. It smells so strong. Did you give Mrs. San some medicine? The medicine is too strong and she can't bear it?"
The maid became a little hesitant when she heard this.
People outside said that Wei Yuyou was sick, but they knew best that Wei Yuyou was not sick at all. She was just injured, and Li San detained her and refused to let her see her family, so she made up this excuse.
Since you are not sick, why take medicine? All the medicines boiled outside were poured out in the end.
But... ..she changed her mind and realized that the Third Master might have other plans. He had just said yesterday that if the Wei family members still refused to bow their heads, he would let them know how powerful he was and make Wei Yuyou's "illness" even more serious.
So she calmed herself down and said, "Maybe I just caught a cold, so the medicine had an impact on me... It's not a big deal, I'll be fine after a good night's sleep."
It was as if she was the master and Wei Yuyou was just a servant.
Mrs. Li couldn't help but scold: "What nonsense are you talking about?! Even if they quarrel, they are still a couple! She is the third wife after all, and she is pregnant with a little boy! You treat her like this, aren't you afraid that the third master will blame you? You can't bear it?!"
The maids all shrank their necks. They had not expected Mrs. Li to be so angry all of a sudden, and they hesitated and did not dare to step out.
Mrs. Li was furious: "He's in such a bad condition, why don't you ask a doctor to come and see him? It's a cold season now, if you're not careful, he might die. If he dies, and Master San blames you, will you live or die?!"
The maids were frightened by what she said. They stood there, not knowing what to do. After much hesitation, they asked, "Then according to the eldest lady's opinion, what should we do?"
"Of course we should go out and ask a doctor to take a look!" She frowned, "Human life is at stake! If there is a problem, treat it. If there is nothing wrong, it would be the best. You servants will have less trouble, right?"
The maids kept silent, so the eldest wife took it as a tacit agreement and sent someone out in front of them: "Go find a doctor that our family is familiar with. Be quiet and don't alarm anyone. Be careful when you go out. If there are any members of the Wei family here, don't tell them anything!"
This order was reasonable and took the family's situation into consideration. It didn't sound wrong, but the maid stepped forward and said with a smile, "I'll go with you. I'm here to serve the Third Madam. I know her health best. If the doctor asks about her, I'll have something to say." (To be continued)
