She walked to Wei An, and bent down impatiently, "Miss, it's my fault. I was too impatient. I was also worried about the Marquis. Han Bo said that the Marquis was in a hurry and the investigation was strict. If the Marquis was discovered, you and the Marquis would be implicated. This is not good."
Wei An pursed his lips, seeming to feel very aggrieved: "I don't want to either, but my stomach hurts so badly... Could it be that there is something wrong with what Miss Xu ate just now? Otherwise, why would she have a stomachache and I have a stomachache too?"
The little girl was speechless and a little doubtful.
The second Miss Xu really had abdominal pain, and she did indeed invite an imperial physician, but this was because the Xu family could ask the imperial physician to testify later, so this was just a self-torture tactic.
But Wei An, why does she also have a stomachache
Could it be that he really ate what Miss Xu Er ate
This might be true. After all, the girls were together and had snacks and such. Even though Miss Xu was very careful, she probably couldn't avoid it completely.
She couldn't help but feel a little irritated - the amount of arsenic in Miss Xu's snack was quite strong. If Wei An really got a stomachache after eating that, he wouldn't be able to reach the Chuihua Gate.
Then the play over there won’t be able to be performed.
She was a little unwilling and went forward to hold Wei An's hand: "Miss, are you really in so much pain?"
Wei An was so painful that he couldn't speak. After a while, he couldn't help squatting down and burying his head in his knees. After a long time, he said in a whisper, "I'm afraid it's not something unclean that I ate. It's my old illness that's come back. I need to go to my mother to get some medicine."
The little girl immediately became alert, stood up and stared at her coldly for a while before asking, "Does the girl have an old illness?"
Wei An didn't say anything for a while, but his body was shaking slightly, and he looked like he was in extreme pain.
The little girl cursed inwardly. This time, she really believed that Wei An had an old illness. She couldn't help but ask her angrily, "If it's an old illness, do you have any way to treat it? Are we just going to stay here? I'm afraid that's not appropriate."
Wei An was barely able to speak clearly, and his voice was so low that it was hard to hear clearly: "You... go to the front to find my mother... get the medicine for me..."
It looked like she really couldn't walk even half a step. If she went to get the medicine now, she would inevitably be questioned by Madam Wei, but she had the help of Madam Wei to cover up for her. Plus, she could just make excuses and get the medicine. It would only delay the time for a while...
The little girl quickly made up her mind and asked Wei An, "What should I say when I meet Mrs. Wei?"
I have to make my words clear so as not to attract the attention of the Wei family.
Wei An held his belly and finally raised his head: "Just tell her... just tell her that my old illness has come back and ask her to take the medicine I carry with me... then she will know."
The little girl responded with a "yes". Anyway, all the people nearby had been transferred away. Even if some ignorant people came, the people outside would find a way to get rid of them. She was not afraid of people coming here to do bad things.
It’s not far from here to the stage. As long as you go there, get the medicine from Madam Wei and then come back, it will only take a moment.
She turned around and ran away quickly, picking up her skirt.
Wei An watched her shadow disappear on the stone slab silently, then raised his head expressionlessly and watched the little girl's back as she crossed the arch bridge and ran towards the willow tree. Suddenly, he smiled slightly.
She never had any hidden illness.
Whether it was the Second Madam, the Third Madam, or the Fifth Madam, they all knew that something had happened to her as soon as they heard it.
Not to mention the Second and Third Madams, the Fifth Madam was also an extremely smart person, otherwise she would not have been able to struggle out from among those cannibalistic relatives and win the favor of the Lady of Marquis Ping'an, who strongly recommended her to become her stepmother.
She moved her fingers slowly for a while. She had just poked her left abdominal acupuncture point hard, which allowed her to make that pale and painful expression. Now she wanted to take a good look at how the Xu family would continue to act out this drama.
The little girl had already run to the stage. Madam Wei Er and Madam Wei San were talking to Madam Wu in an extremely excited tone. Her eyebrows twitched as she recognized them. She calmed herself down before bowing outside and asking someone to inform them.
When the Second and Third Madams heard that Wei An had something wrong, they came over in a hurry. Without waiting for Madam Xu to speak, they asked, "Is An An okay? Where is she? If it's convenient, why not bring her here? Our old lady loves her the most..."
The little girl was terrified and said, "The princess's old illness has come back, and she asked me to go with Madam Wu to get her usual pills..."
Madam Wu was stunned for a moment before she cried out anxiously, "What's going on?! Could it be that the old doctor adjusted the medication, so..."
Seeing that she told Wei An about taking medicine without any hesitation, the little girl's suspicion about Wei An's relapse disappeared, and she said hurriedly: "Yes, the princess is in so much pain that she can't walk, and she is lying in our second lady's yard..."
Madam Wu forced herself to calm down and said, "If that's the case, I'll send her some medicine and check on her. This girl's old illness is very severe, I hope nothing really happens to her."
Madam Xu was already feeling uneasy. When she heard the girl say that her old illness had recurred, she thought it was too coincidental. She had already quietly separated the other ladies. When she heard this, she said, "This is not appropriate. I just came from over there. Many courtyards in our house are uninhabited. We don't know where those suspicious bandits are hiding. If you are hurt, it will be bad. Since you are sick and have the usual medicine, why don't you take the medicine first and see if the symptoms can be relieved? If it can be relieved, that would be the best. If it really doesn't work, it won't be too late for us to ask for a doctor!"
Madam Wu pursed her lips, anxiously: "In this case, then you should quickly take the medicine over first. If there is anything wrong with the princess, you must come back and tell me quickly. Tell the princess that the current situation is special and I cannot go to see her in person. Please ask her to understand."
The second and third wives had already held each other's hands. They looked at each other and saw the coldness in each other's eyes.
Something really happened.
How could Wei An have any old illness? Not to mention any medicine he took regularly. Fortunately, it was Madam Wu who responded quickly.
But Wei An had someone come to tell them this in order to inform them of the news. So what should they do now? Should they go out to report the news? But the Xu family clearly didn't want them to move a single step...
The little girl had already taken the purse handed over by the Fifth Lady, bowed quickly and ran away. (To be continued)
