Not to mention whether this medicine exists, even if it does, what specific effects does it have, and can it only be used alone? Or which medicines may be compatible with it, and which medicines may be incompatible with it. So, everything she is doing now may really be in vain.
Even so, Xiaocao still concentrated all his attention.
Sheet after sheet of paper, writing and revising non-stop.
Seeing how focused she was, the maid unconsciously made her movements as light as possible when entering and exiting.
As a result, Xiaocao ate lunch in the study. She just wanted to fill her stomach. She didn't care whether the food was delicious or not. Given her current condition, she thought that as long as she didn't eat something that was really hard to swallow, there would be no problem.
As for the other things, sorry, I forgot everything.
At about noon, the maid came in quietly and stood in front of the desk, not too far away, "Miss..."
"Hmm?" Xiaocao responded lightly.
"Young lady." The maid's voice was slightly higher. When Xiaocao raised her head, she was sure that she would pay attention to what she was going to say next. "Madam said that if you are not busy, please go to the front hall."
Can I not go if I am busy? If Xiaocao says she is busy, she is really busy. If she says she is free, she is really free. After all, she is "busy for nothing" and "looking for trouble". "What is it?" It seems that it is not an important matter.
"Someone has come to Duke Xu's mansion to seek medical treatment, led by Duke Xu. There are quite a few people here."
Xiao Cao lowered her head and paused for a moment, then raised it again, "How long have you been here?"
"It came around noon."
Xiao Cao tilted her head to look at the clepsydra. It had been more than an hour, almost three hours. "Is it my mother who is entertaining the guests?"
"Yes, Madam will accompany you all the time." Hearing Madam's gentle and soft words and indirect criticism, the people in Duke Xu's mansion were so angry that their faces turned pale. However, they did not dare to get angry and had to keep smiling and say nice things.
My mother is a protective person and has a strong personality. Xiaocao has known this clearly for a long time. The people from Duke Xu's Mansion were stopped by her for three hours. You must know that Duke Xu is not only a duke and has no real power, but he still has a respected status. In addition, in terms of age, he is Han's elder, but Han still did not give him face. Before that, she was also strong against Madam Zhang of Duke Cheng'en's Mansion and the wife of Marquis Pingjin. Before that, Wenren Yang offended Prince Dun because of Xiaocao, but Han didn't even scold him. So, Wenren Han is really a very tough person.
If outsiders think about it carefully, they will probably know that it is pure nonsense to say that the Wen family agreed to the marriage between their daughter and the sickly prince of Pingyang Marquis's Mansion because of pressure from Prince Heng and Prince Dun.
Since her own mother has already sent someone to call her, that means that she has almost wiped out the people in Duke Xu's Mansion. As for not completely turning them away, it was probably because of her reputation and the fact that her family members looked at her with a filter eight hundred meters thick and thought that she would not stand by and watch someone die.
Han did the evil thing to let people know that their daughter, who studied medicine, was not necessarily a doctor, and could not be yelled at or despised by anyone. Since she had come to the door, she should follow the rules she gave her daughter. If outsiders said something, then they could just come to her, Wenren Han. She couldn't bear to see her daughter being wronged, so it didn't matter who came. She was not afraid. Her daughter was kind-hearted, so she would treat illnesses and save lives. She was different from other doctors who had to make a living. At worst, she would not see patients. Wenren Han was not unable to support her.
Xiao Cao followed the maid to the front hall, but just as she squatted, Han came forward and pulled her up, "Xuan'er, are you done with your work? If not, go back and do your own things. It's not a big deal."
The people from Duke Xu's mansion turned pale when they heard the words, which was really funny. Even Xiaocao felt a little bit amused. With her mother's status, she didn't need to be disrespectful to those "annoying" patients' families. She really had to become a "beautiful and kind-hearted saint". However, Xiaocao just wanted to refuse three times: I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!
"Mother..."
After being called out by Xiaocao helplessly, Han also calmed down. "Yesterday, you were kind enough to save someone on the street. The wife of the prince of Duke Xu was dissatisfied with you for taking care of the servants instead of her daughter, so she took her daughter away in anger. Unfortunately, the imperial doctors of the Imperial Hospital were helpless, so they came to you for medical treatment. The person seems to be dying. Xuan'er, you can do whatever you can. If you can save her, don't force it. After all, who knows how bad the condition will be in one day. After all, you are a human, not a god. You can cure diseases, but you can't bring the dead back to life."
It was more like these words were spoken to the people in Duke Xu's mansion rather than Xiaocao, especially since he deliberately mentioned the actions of Duke Xu's wife. It was almost as if he was saying that if the girl from their Xu family died, it would be the fault of the mother, the wife of Duke Xu's wife, and it had nothing to do with the girl from their Wen family.
The wife of the Prince of Xu wanted to show the same toughness and style as yesterday and fight back directly. However, she had experienced how powerful Han was before. Moreover, her daughter's life was in danger. The people in the Imperial Hospital said that the only way was to try with the Fourth Young Lady of the Wenren family. There might be a glimmer of hope. Compared with acting on impulse, her daughter's life was more important.
What's more, her father-in-law is there. Her father-in-law, who had never cared about anything before, now gives her a heavy hand in this matter.
It can be said that Duke Xu still has deep feelings for his first wife, especially as he gets older, he misses his youth more and more. His granddaughter served his first wife for many years and then sent her away. He has many children, grandchildren, and because there are so many of them, it is inevitable that he does not take one thing seriously. This granddaughter is different from the others. Even if he has never gotten along with her, he will care about her a little more because of his love for her. The fact that she came here in person today is the best proof.
Duke Xu was depressed because he was not valued and only had the title of duke without any real power. However, his status was there, so at least he would not be neglected on the surface. But today he hit a wall with Han. At his age, he must be unhappy. However, because Han did not target him, and when Han sent someone to call Xiaocao, he felt that the matter was settled, no matter what the final result was, it had nothing to do with him, and he had done his best for his granddaughter.
He only valued it two points, that was all, so he just left.
The wife of the Prince of Duke Xu suppressed her anger, stepped forward at the right time, and sincerely apologized to Xiaocao, saying that she was wrong yesterday, but considering that she was eager to save her daughter, she asked for forgiveness.
Because Han was there, Xiao Cao didn't plan to do anything else. "Where are you? Let me take a look first."
The girl from the Xu family was placed on a couch in the back hall. After she was taken away, she did not wake up at all. In her coma, she managed to drink some medicine and some soup or water, and she vomited out at least half of what she drank.
Therefore, the patient's condition is really bad at this moment. Normally, the doctor would ask the family to prepare for the funeral.
Xiaocao had already anticipated that if the girl did not receive good treatment, her condition might worsen, but seeing her dying, seemingly hanging on for dear life, she was still a little surprised.
Without thinking too much, she immediately gave her acupuncture, at least to save her some life. Otherwise, even if she needed to have a craniotomy, she would not be able to wait until then.
After acupuncture, Xiaocao checked the wound on her head again. After touching it, she felt something was wrong. It was not like this when she treated her yesterday. This must be a second impact.
A daughter of a duke's mansion, a legitimate daughter of a prince, should be served by a bunch of people. After being injured and unconscious, how could she be hit hard again? Are all the servants vegetarians? And the mother, didn't she find a reliable person and repeatedly warned her to be careful
Xiaocao turned around to look at the wife of the Prince of Xu, and there was something wrong in her eyes.
The wife of the Crown Prince of Duke Xu felt a little frightened by being looked at, "What, what's the matter, is it, is it bad?" She clenched her fists unconsciously, and her worry was not fake.
But even if it's not fake, it probably won't be that strong.
Xiao Cao had a blank expression on her face. "I'm just curious about the circumstances under which Miss Xu's head was hit a second time."
The wife of the Duke of Xu was a little embarrassed and guilty, "My daughter is not unconscious, it was the servants who were careless..."
"What a carelessness! Has the Duke's Mansion fallen so far that it doesn't even have decent servants? They are so clumsy in taking care of the injured master. This is really eye-opening."
The wife of the prince of Xuguogong was very uncomfortable with Xiaocao's words, but how could she refute this? After all, according to common sense, such a thing as "carelessness" is indeed impossible to happen. Even if she punished it at the first time, it would not be able to save anything.
Han sneered at the side, "Xuan'er, although the Xuguogong Mansion has declined, it is only powerful in the court. In other aspects, the foundation is there, so it can't be bad. There are so many masters in the Xuguogong Mansion, almost everyone is surrounded by a group of servants, how can there be a lack of decent staff? In the final analysis, it's just carelessness. This Miss Xu has only been back to the imperial city for a short time. She used to live with her grandmother in the local area, and she naturally has some feelings for the wife of the Xuguogong's son. Even if it seems that he loves his daughter, it's good enough to be attentive to her. You can't expect her to be 100% attentive."
So, it is possible that they still care, but the degree of care is limited.
"I have been home for a short time, and my mother has taken great care of me." Xiaocao said frankly.
Han smiled when she heard this. These words really made her happy. "Of course, people in this world cannot be generalized. Mothers are definitely different."
Xiao Cao nodded, "Mother is naturally the best."
"You brothers and sisters are all my flesh and blood. You are the only one who suffered and was wronged outside. They are different. So no matter how much compensation you give to my son, it will not be enough."
"Mom, I haven't been wronged, nor have I suffered, so you don't have to mind this."
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. You mothers are all treated equally."
This scene of deep affection between mother and daughter made the wife of Duke Xu's son pale with anger. She felt that these words were said by the mother and daughter on purpose to put pressure on her. Yes, because her daughter is not around, she does not have that much affection, and it is inevitable that some things are not considered carefully. This is just human nature. They have prepared the best in terms of food, clothing and other expenses for her, and are still looking for a good marriage for her. Isn't it enough to be online
The wife of the prince of Duke Xu twisted her handkerchief and clenched her teeth, her face becoming a little ferocious, "Miss Wenren..."
"What? Is the Crown Prince's wife planning to take people away again this time?" Han said with a fake smile, and made a gesture of invitation in a very rude manner.
The wife of the prince of Duke Xu's chest heaved, and she felt the blood rushing to her brain, but she suppressed her anger in the end, because she knew very well that this was her last hope. After all, she couldn't watch her own daughter die. Moreover, if some words got out, she would inevitably be labeled as "vicious". There were also a bunch of messy people in her family who would take this opportunity to step on her severely.
You know, before this, many people had spoken in a sarcastic way and tried to curry favor with her father-in-law, just to take this opportunity to divide the power in her hands.
