According to the instructions of Lady Pingjin Hou, the medicine was used in a strong way and the effect took effect quickly.
Li Ruoshui couldn't hold on and fell on the bed, holding her stomach. She felt excruciating pain and warm liquid flowed out of her body.
Li Ruoshui was a pampered girl in her previous life. Over the past three years, she had been spoiled in every way. She had never suffered such a hardship, so there was no need for her to pretend. She rolled over and over on the bed, crying out in pain. It was already August, but the heat had not subsided yet. After such a little tossing and turning, she felt like she had been fished out of the water. The wedding bed was in a mess.
Hua Bochen felt so distressed that he hugged her and tried to comfort her. However, given his physique, he could not hold her very tightly at the moment. He tossed and turned like this, and when he raised his hand, he found it was covered in blood.
Because I was wearing a wedding dress, all red, and the bed was also red, so it was hard to see, but it got on my hands...
The wife of the Marquis of Pingjin watched coldly. She clearly saw that when Hua Bochen saw the blood, she felt a little disgusted and nauseated, and a little afraid of the color. In fact, the wife of the Marquis of Pingjin knew better than anyone that her uncle Hua Bochen was actually just an ordinary rich young man. Although he was like those dandy boys who indulged in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, he was actually less troublesome. He really had no good qualities and didn't care that his family didn't need him to do anything and just played around with romantic things. Without the background of the Marquis of Pingjin's Mansion, he was inferior to many people.
He is a man without responsibility, ability and opinion. If you marry him, the only person you can rely on is the Marquis of Pingjin Mansion. Being rejected by the Marquis of Pingjin Mansion, and then counting on him? It's better to dream about the Spring and Autumn Period.
Just like now, shouldn't we call the doctor first? What's the point of just hugging someone and coaxing them? Wouldn't we give instructions first? What's even more incredible to the wife of the Marquis of Pingjin is that there is no experienced nanny in Li Ruoshui's dowry. If she is from a small family and is not favored, it would be fine, but she clearly has neither of these two qualities.
"Has the doctor arrived?" The wife of the Marquis of Pingjin turned her head and asked her maid.
When he came here, he asked someone to call a doctor. The doctor lived in the back street of Pingjin Marquis Mansion, not far away. He was half of the minister of the Pingjin Marquis Mansion. He was mainly responsible for the members of the Hua family. Of course, they were usually ordinary people with common diseases. It would not take much time for Pingjin Marquis Mansion to ask him to come here.
The reason why she "sought the far away instead of the near" and did not let Xiaocao come was, firstly, the wife of the Marquis of Pingjin probably knew Xiaocao's character. She was afraid that she would be unhappy about the fact that he deliberately aborted someone's pregnancy, which would reduce her good impression of him. Secondly, in the eyes of the wife of the Marquis of Pingjin, it would be a defilement for Xiaocao to get involved with someone like Li Ruoshui, so the farther away from him the better.
"We have just arrived." The maid said softly.
"Then please come in."
As for whether this is a new house or not, who cares
There is a wedding banquet at the Pingjin Marquis Mansion today, so the doctor would naturally know about it. He was invited here, and it is in the bridal chamber, and the bride had a miscarriage, so... As someone who enters the upper class from time to time like him, he knows everything he should know. In short, he should remember one thing, just do his own thing, don't look at what he shouldn't look at, don't listen to what he shouldn't listen to, and most importantly, keep his mouth shut and don't say anything, even to family members. This is the way to survive in the upper class. Otherwise, if you don't want to implicate your family or even lose your life, you'd better get out as soon as possible, hang out among the ordinary people, make a little money to support your family.
Even with this mentality, the doctor's eyelids couldn't help twitching when he saw Li Ruoshui's condition, but other than that, he didn't have much reaction. It's just that the bleeding was a little bit severe, and the "fetus" seemed not to have been expelled yet. If it continued like this... the doctor tried his best to stop the bleeding and relieve the pain, then prescribed medicine for uterine cleaning, and then prescribed follow-up medicines. Without saying a word, he left quietly.
She said she didn't think anything of it before, but when the wife of the Marquis of Pingjin compared his words and deeds with Xiaocao's after they finished treating patients, the difference was really huge.
However, in addition to the difference in medical ethics, it was probably because of the different standpoints. However, she believed that with Xiaocao's personality, she would rather treat ordinary people all her life than go against her conscience and get involved in the secrets of the backyards of wealthy families.
Fortunately, someone is protecting her, otherwise it would be easy to offend people. In mild cases, she would suffer some pain, and in serious cases, she might even lose her life. However, the people who protect her, whether out of selfishness, wanting to establish a good relationship, or really wanting to protect her, will definitely not let her know some things.
The wife of the Prince of Pingjin asked someone to get the medicine with the prescription, and then she left with her mother and left first.
Of course, before leaving, he also "advised" Hua Bochen, "Now the new house is dirty, and this man is stained with it, which is bound to bring bad luck. Why don't you go wash and change clothes? You can't help much here."
Hua Bochen was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses. After hearing what the wife of the Marquis of Pingjin said, he seemed to have finally figured out what had happened. He quickly stood up and said, "Sister-in-law is right." Then he ran away in a panic.
Li Ruoshui is not in so much pain now, and has recovered a little. Looking at Hua Bochen like that, she feels hatred in her heart. She really chose the wrong person this time. This kind of person is easy to control, but he is definitely unreliable when encountering problems.
-At this moment, Li Ruoshui even agreed with Wen Renying's words in his heart. Isn't she just a useless piece of shit
The wife of the Marquis of Pingjin smiled silently, as it was expected.
Having incurred the disgust of those in power in the Pingjin Marquis' Mansion, she still dared to marry Hua Bochen. This showed not only courage, but also ignorance.
The wife of the Prince of Pingjin gave the order to keep the mouths shut.
This matter is over. At most, I will send a message to the Li family tomorrow and ask Mrs. Li to come and take a look. Then, it is impossible to offer tea tomorrow, and forget about returning home in two days. Not offering tea is not so legitimate to a certain extent. I am afraid that the servants of Pingjin Marquis Mansion will talk behind my back in the future. And if I don't return home, the Li family will lose face. What does this have to do with others? If the Li family really thinks it is not okay, they can just take the person back themselves.
—Although this short confinement period is not as good as a full confinement period, it is also something that seriously damages your vitality. If you don’t take good care of yourself, you will suffer the most in the future.
The wife of the Prince of Pingjin knew her mother-in-law and would not trouble Li Ruoshui during this period. She would not do such a shameless thing. Even if she did trouble someone, she would do it openly.
However, for the sake of the reputation of the Pingjin Marquis's Mansion, to prevent Li Ruoshui from having affairs outside, she might not be able to go out so easily in the future. If she could really behave herself, the Pingjin Marquis's Mansion would not mind supporting her as a mouth, but this possibility was very small. Not to mention that Li Ruoshui herself was not a person who behaved herself, let's talk about the heirs. Since her mother-in-law did not plan to let her have children, then she must have concubines' children. Unless there were really no children, she would not adopt them.
The wife of the Marquis of Pingjin had a hunch that Li Ruoshui was probably quite jealous, or possessive. There were certain things that she would never allow, and if she was not satisfied, she would inevitably make a fuss.
The wife of the Marquis of Pingjin thought so nonchalantly, and returned to the wedding banquet, continuing to greet the guests as if nothing had happened.
When he met the wife of Marquis Pingjin, he bowed and nodded slightly. The wife of Marquis Pingjin responded, and everything was said without words.
The wedding banquet was lively and bustling, but gradually some people started to leave, perhaps because they had something to do at home. Basically, after leaving the table, they all said goodbye. Therefore, the host basically could not sit at the table.
As one of the "hosts", Wen Renying came over to help see the guests off only when they had almost finished eating. This was also the intention of the wife of Marquis Pingjin.
Seriously speaking, Hua Bochen's marriage was a big event for the Pingjin Marquis's Mansion. However, the number of guests who came was much less than that of the last Pingjin Marquis's 50th birthday, and the importance of the guests was not of the same level. Many of them just sent gifts, but they made excuses to shirk their responsibilities.
In fact, everyone knows the reason, but Lady Pingjin Hou doesn't mind. She knows it very well, so she won't frown even if no guests come to visit.
—If there was no scandal before, it would be a normal marriage. Even if the woman's status was far inferior to Li Ruoshui, there would be many more guests than now. So it can be seen how terrible it was for this woman to lose her virginity before marriage.
Because of Wen Renying, almost all the other people in the Wen family stayed until the end. Before leaving, Wen Renying and the "mother and daughter" Lady Pingjin Hou were still affectionate for a while. One said to her "daughter" that she had worked hard and she should go back and rest early, and the other said to her stepmother that she was tired and not fully recovered, so she shouldn't work too hard.
Just as the people from the Wen family left the Pingjin Marquis' Mansion, a servant from the Wen family came in a hurry, "Fourth Miss, the fourth room's young master is not well, please go back and check on him."
Xiaocao was shocked. There was only one grandchild in the fourth room, and that was the third cousin. The child was born prematurely, and Xiaocao saved both his mother and him. She was extremely careful in the first month after the birth, and with Xiaocao's help, she managed to raise the child. Over the past few months, the child has gradually recovered and is almost like a normal child.
Among the fifth branch of the Wen family, only the first and fourth branches have grandchildren. The two from the first branch were taken away. Of course, the second cousin from the third branch is also married. However, the second cousin's wife gave birth to a child later than the younger brother and sister-in-law who came in later. But now she is almost due to give birth, which means it could happen at any time in the next few days. All the necessary preparations have been made, and with the help of Xiaocao, the master, there is nothing to worry about.
It’s just that regarding the child from the fourth room, they didn’t hear any rumors when they went out during the day, but now… it sounds as if the situation is quite serious.
"Mom, I'll go back first." Xiaocao got on the carriage that came to pick her up without saying a word.
"Xuan'er, Xuan'er, slow down..." Han said, and the carriage started moving.
He hurriedly said goodbye to the wife of Marquis Pingjin, got on the carriage, and hurriedly caught up with him.
A maid came with them. Xiaocao had been living in the Wenren family for several months, and some things had become "common sense" to her. The maid hurriedly told Xiaocao about the child's condition, when the disease occurred, and what symptoms the child had.
"… I tried some cooling methods from the book written by Fourth Miss, but they didn't work. I was really anxious, so I came to ask you to go back."
Xiaocao already had an idea in her mind, "It should be acute convulsions. The method in the parenting manual is only applicable to high fever, not acute convulsions."
Acute convulsions usually occur in children between one and five years old, but this is not an absolute condition.
However, when the maid heard the words "acute convulsions", her face turned pale. That is one of the most dangerous diseases for children. Once the child is infected with this disease, seven out of ten children will die.
"Fourth Miss, Fourth Miss..."
"It's okay, don't be afraid." Seriously speaking, Xiaocao is quite good at dealing with such acute and serious illnesses. Although it is dangerous, there is no need to worry too much.
After Xiaocao got off the carriage, he went straight to the fourth room.
“The fourth girl is back, the fourth girl is back…” The interpreters were interpreting, and those who were tapping the curtains were tapping the curtains. There was joy in their voices, as if as long as Xiaocao was there, everything would be fine.
Xiaocao entered the house and almost bumped into her third cousin.
"Fourth sister..."
"Don't get in the way, just stay aside." Xiaocao reached out and pushed him away.
The third cousin's wife was holding the child, and when she saw Xiaocao, it was as if she had seen her savior, "Fourth sister, fourth sister, you must save the child, save him..." She let the tears fall freely.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, it's okay." Xiaocao comforted the child while checking the child's pulse. The child had fainted, had a high fever, and was twitching, but did not make any sound. After a quick examination, she took out the silver needle on her wrist and bled the child's earlobes, fingers, and even toes. The black blood beads were wiped off, and another one appeared...
Such a small child would feel painful just by looking at it. However, there were many people in the room, but no one made a sound to disturb them. Even the Third Young Master, who was beaten up by Xiao Cao with brute force, stared at him nervously.
As the blood beads turned red, the child cried out and the convulsions gradually stopped.
"He's crying, he's crying, that's great, that's really great..." Others were extremely surprised. The more times like this happened, the more they worried that the child wouldn't cry. If he started crying, they would feel relieved.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I'll give you some medicine later and the fever will go away soon. As long as you don't have a fever, you'll be fine."
Xiao Cao asked someone to write a prescription and send it to her courtyard, and asked the maid to prepare the medicine and boil it and send it back. - She had all the commonly used medicines, so it was really convenient at this time.
While waiting, the child's enthusiasm obviously subsided a lot, and the worry that had been hanging in the air finally settled down.
Everyone was impressed in their heart that their fourth daughter was really amazing. Most of them had given up hope before, but in the end she saved them so easily.
