Chapter 259 The old lady has high fever
The old lady was absent-minded all day, and she stayed up until the next night, but she still didn't see Su Qiumei come back.
Old Mrs. Su couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to go to the outer courtyard to find Su Tiecheng and ask him to find Su Qiumei.
How do you know?
Before she reached the outer courtyard, she suddenly felt a pain in her back, her vision went dark, and she didn't know anything.
The Su family didn't pay attention. They didn't see the lights on in the old lady's room and thought she was asleep.
It wasn't until dawn that the servants got up to make breakfast and found Su Qiumei and the old lady lying in the yard.
The servants were so frightened that they hurriedly called Su Tiecheng and the others.
After everyone carried them to the bed, the two of them woke up leisurely.
"younger sister."
"mother."
"What happened to you? Why are you covered with injuries?"
When Su Tiezhu and Su Tieniu saw the two of them open their eyes, they hurriedly stepped forward to ask worriedly.
"Qiu Mei, didn't you go to help the eldest prince? How could it be like this? Are you being robbed?"
Cheng Qianqian saw the injuries on both of them, and she seemed to be in pain too.
The mother and daughter looked at each other, thinking of the warning the eldest prince had given them before letting them back.
How dare they tell the truth?
Before returning, the two of them were thinking about how they would deal with this matter with the people of the Su family after they returned.
Now I heard Cheng Qianqian ask this.
Well, they don't even have to make excuses.
The two immediately nodded at the same time.
"This is all still under the emperor's feet. Who is so bold?"
Although Su Tiezhu had doubts, he would not think about the eldest prince.
"That's right, sister, aren't you from the eldest prince? You must ask the eldest prince to send someone to check it out."
When the old lady heard what Su Tieniu said, she felt even more stunned.
Think she doesn't want to? She wished she could cut the eldest prince into pieces immediately.
"Well! Qiu Mei is so important to the eldest prince. The eldest prince will definitely not let those bad guys go."
Cheng Qianqian originally wanted to comfort the two of them, but how did she know?
The more she mentioned the eldest prince, the old lady and Su Qiumei, she felt particularly painful.
"Okay, okay! My little sister and I are in pain and tired. You go and ask a doctor to take a look at us."
The old lady was so weak that she didn't even have the strength to scold them. She already felt like she was running out of energy after just saying these two words.
Seeing this group of people, each one more stupid than the other, made her angry.
He obviously had eyes, and he clearly saw that she and her daughter were covered in injuries.
No one thought of asking a doctor to see them first?
Everyone was asking questions around them. If they asked too many questions, would their injuries heal on their own?
Don’t they understand which should be done first and which should be done last?
Soon, the doctor was called over.
Fortunately, the doctor diagnosed that both of them had skin injuries, and they could be cured by applying some trauma medicine.
Maybe neither of them had ever encountered such a thing.
Both of them were obviously frightened, and both of them had nightmares in the middle of the night.
The old lady dreamed that she was still in the dungeon, being used various torture instruments, which made her scream in pain.
In the dream, she was in so much pain that she screamed out.
The servants who were on night watch were so frightened that they rushed to see what was going on.
I knocked on the door several times but didn't hear anyone in the house respond.
People standing outside the door can hear the old lady screaming.
As soon as I heard it, I knew it must be a nightmare.
The servant could only push the door in and shake the old lady awake.
The sound of pushing the door open just in time woke up Su Qiumei, who was also covered in sweat.
The old lady was shaken a few times, but she didn't wake up.
However, he no longer screamed.
Su Qiu didn't feel anything was wrong with the old lady, so she asked someone to touch her forehead.
Only then did I realize that the old lady was having a fever.
The servant hurriedly ran to call Cheng Qianqian again.
Soon other people in Su Mansion were also quarreled.
It's not easy to get a doctor in the middle of the night.
In the end, Cheng Qianqian ran back to the Cheng family and asked the Cheng family doctor to come over.
The old lady was probably old. It was the first time she had been frightened like this and she was beaten all over.
The high fever came along, and after taking the antipyretic decoction prescribed by the doctor, the fever has not gone away for the past two hours.
"Soak a cotton cloth in warm water, wring it out, and wipe my mother's forehead and armpits constantly."
Su Qiumei was in so much pain that she couldn't get out of bed, so she could only give instructions from the side.
Su Qiumei, who had never seen an old lady sick before, saw the old lady like this for the first time.
She felt very uncomfortable, and even felt a little distressed.
The old lady was even more involved in what happened this time.
Looking at her empty wrist, she hated Shangguan Siyi for revealing the treasure hidden in her bracelet. She hated Shangguan Siyi even more.
Obviously, she has been helping Shang Guan Siyi with his work.
"What treasure...I don't know..."
The old lady started talking in her sleep again.
"Third brother, people in the capital say that Li Ling's medical skills are good. Why don't you go to the General's Mansion and call Li Ling over to take a look at it?"
Seeing the old lady like this, Su Qiumei couldn't hold back her tears.
Su Tiecheng hesitated when he heard Su Qiumei asking him to find Li Ling.
"Third brother, only if you go can you possibly ask her to come."
Su Qiumei felt that at least Su Tiecheng had been Li Ling's father before.
He has been at the border and has not done anything bad to her since he has not come back? He went to invite Li Ling, and Li Ling should give him this face.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Su Tiecheng nodded: "Okay, I'll give it a try."
If he doesn't invite Li Ling, what if something happens to the old lady? I guess they'll blame him.
However, he knew that this kid Li Ling would not do anything in his honor.
He knew it from the fact that he went to the General's Mansion to look for her several times and she was unwilling to come out to see him.
It was impossible to pressure her with things like filial piety and reputation. She didn't think she cared about these things at all.
I went to the general's mansion and knocked on the door. I don't know if Li Ling really went out, or if Li Ling didn't want to save the old lady?
The guard guarding the gate of the General's Mansion replied that Li Ling had gone out and had not returned.
Su Tiecheng could only turn back.
However, when passing by Li Ling's drug store, he still tried to knock on the door.
Fortunately, someone was keeping watch at the drug store.
Su Tiecheng bought the last bottle of antipyretic medicine.
When Su Qiumei saw Su Tiecheng and failed to invite Li Ling back, she secretly cursed Su Tiecheng for being useless and hated Li Ling for being so cold-blooded.
Fortunately, within an hour of feeding the medicine brought back by Su Tiecheng to the old lady, the old lady's fever subsided.
After the fever subsided, the old lady stopped talking in her sleep and slept peacefully.
Su Tiezhu, Su Tieniu and Cheng Qianqian took turns touching the old lady's forehead.
After confirming that the fever was really gone, a servant was left here to take care of them, and then everyone dared to go back to sleep.
Seeing that everyone had left, Su Qiumei asked the remaining servant to touch the old lady's forehead.
