Chapter 1235 The truth of the matter!

"Doctor Wang, what do you mean by this?" An Miaoyi frowned and asked in a deep voice:

Under An Miaoyi's gaze, Doctor Wang felt the pressure was suffocating. He quickly explained:
“Changshan Medical Clinic is well-known for treating women and children. Madam Pei of your family is very experienced in this area. With her around, Master Jingren will definitely be safe and sound…”

Hearing the words "safe and sound", An Miaoyi was also somewhat moved. After a moment, she instructed the maid beside her:

"Please invite Madam Pei over!"

"Yes!"

An incense stick later, Pei Zhixiu in the room also received an invitation. Listening to the maid's narration, Pei Zhixiu was a little surprised. She had heard something about Jingren's fever and cough before, but she didn't care too much about it. After all, Jingren was not her baby, and An Miaoyi also invited Doctor Wang to diagnose Jingren!
This doctor, named Wang Tairan, is a senior in the medical field with superb medical skills who has saved countless patients. More than ten years ago, he became a guest of honor for various dignitaries due to his superb medical skills. After Ye Mingsheng established the medical school, he also gave him great courtesy and hired him as the vice president of the medical school.

When Pei Zhixiu wanted to learn medical skills before, Ye Mingsheng invited Wang Tairan to come and communicate with Pei Zhixiu. Pei Zhixiu also learned a lot of knowledge from this old senior.

As the saying goes, a great reputation deserves praise. After Doctor Wang took action, Sang Jingren's symptoms of fever and cough were effectively controlled after a few prescriptions.

So everyone naturally thought that Jingren’s illness was almost cured, but he never thought that the symptoms of fever and cough recurred again. It would not be a big deal to treat the disease again after the recurrence, but Pei Zhixiu did not expect that Wang Tairan actually wanted to drag her into it···················

Pei Zhixiu had communicated and learned with Wang Tairan before. She knew that Wang Tairan’s level was really high. In terms of medical skills alone, he was only better than herself and definitely not worse than herself. So Pei Zhixiu was also very confused as to why Wang Tairan came to her!

Seeing Pei Zhixiu's silence, the maid sent by An Miaoyi became a little anxious and said:

"Mrs. Pei, Master Jingren is in a critical situation right now. Please lend a helping hand!"

After saying this, the maid was about to kneel down to Pei Zhixiu, but as soon as she bent down, she was helped up by Caiying, the maid next to Pei Zhixiu. At this time, Pei Zhixiu also finished thinking and said in a deep voice:
"You go back and report to the Madam first. I'll pack my things and rush over right away!"

The maid was overjoyed when she heard this and said:

"Thank you, Mrs. Pei!"

After the maid left, Pei Zhixiu began to pack up her silver needles and other tools. At the same time, her personal maid Caiying hesitated for a moment, but still reminded in a low voice:

"Madam, something strange is going on. In my opinion, it would be best if you don't get involved!"

Pei Zhixiu glanced at Caiying and said calmly:

"I know it well!"

Caiying, who was still hesitant to speak, felt the indifference in Pei Zhixiu's words, and immediately lowered her head and said:

"This slave is too talkative!"

“It’s okay! I may be back late tonight, so remember to tell Jingxuan a bedtime story then…”

After packing up her medicine box, Pei Zhixiu walked out of the room. Half an incense stick later, she walked into Jingren's room. An Miaoyi, who was anxiously waiting in the room, immediately brightened up when she saw Pei Zhixiu's appearance. She quickly stepped forward, held Pei Zhixiu's hand and said:

"Sister Zhixiu, you are finally here. I will leave everything to you!"

Pei Zhixiu heard this and said softly:

"Don't worry, sister. I will do my best!"

"I feel relieved when I hear your words, sister!"

After exchanging a few words of greeting, Pei Zhixiu immediately entered Jingren's bedroom. Wang Tairan was also there. Upon seeing Pei Zhixiu's arrival, Wang Tairan, who was originally exhausted, was shocked and quickly greeted him:

"Mrs. Pei, you are here. Please check Master Jingren's pulse and see what is going on with him!"

Since she was already here, Pei Zhixiu didn't hesitate. Looking at Jingren, who was already a little confused due to the fever, she immediately put her fingers on Jingren's wrist. After a moment, a strange look flashed in Pei Zhixiu's beautiful eyes, but Pei Zhixiu didn't say anything. Instead, she changed her hand and continued to take Jingren's pulse.

After half a cup of tea, Pei Zhixiu finished taking Jingren's pulse and let go of his hand, then looked at Wang Tairan with some confusion.

On the way here, Pei Zhixiu thought of many possibilities, even the worst possibility, such as someone gave Jingren some kind of strange poison.

However, judging from the pulse diagnosis just now, although Jingren's condition is somewhat serious, it is just a normal cold, and there is no big problem. Logically speaking, with Wang Tairan's level, it is basically a sure thing to handle this kind of thing, and there is no need to call himself in...
Facing Pei Zhixiu's gaze, Wang Tairan avoided it a little and said helplessly:

"Madam Pei, I don't know what's going on. Logically speaking, Master Jingren should have recovered if he had taken the medicine I prescribed last time on time!"

Although Wang Tairan's expression changed only for a moment, Pei Zhixiu still caught the subtle movement. At this moment, Jingren, who was lying on the bed, subconsciously said:
"Water! Water!"

Although Jingren's voice was very weak at this time, perhaps because of the mother-son connection, An Miaoyi outside the room also heard the voice, and immediately walked into the room with a kettle in her hands.

After drinking a few sips of water, Jingren's body temperature slowly dropped and he gradually regained consciousness. Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that it was getting dark outside and Wang Tairan was exhausted, Pei Zhixiu couldn't help but say to An Miaoyi:
"Sister, Doctor Wang is tired. Let him go back and have a rest. I will take care of Jingren tonight!"

An Miaoyi also looked at Wang Tairan after hearing this. Although Wang Tairan was already exhausted at this time, looking at Jingren who had just improved, An Miaoyi was a little hesitant. Seeing this, Pei Zhixiu continued to speak;
“Don’t worry, sister. Jingren is fine now. If Doctor Wang continues to endure it, I’m afraid he won’t be able to bear it…”

After hearing what Pei Zhixiu said, An Miaoyi nodded and said:

"Alright! Doctor Wang, you've worked hard today. As long as Jingren recovers, I will definitely reward him handsomely!"

Wang Tairan, who was already exhausted, was secretly delighted when he heard that he could finally rest, but he did not dare to show it in front of An Miaoyi. He still said respectfully:

"Madam, you are too kind! It is my great honor to be able to serve Madam Jingren!"

After explaining a few words, An Miaoyi left. She had been watching Jingren for a while. Now that Jingren's condition had finally improved, she wanted to go back and have a good rest.

After An Miaoyi left, Wang Tairan bowed to Pei Zhixiu and said:
"Thank you for your consideration, Mrs. Pei!"

"It's okay! Doctor Wang, you should take a good rest! We may need you tomorrow!"

"I understand!"

After that, Wang Tairan found a prescription and handed it to Pei Zhixiu, saying, "This is just a prescription for Master Jingren's condition. Madam Pei, why don't you take a look and see if there is any problem!"

Pei Zhixiu took the prescription and nodded, saying:
"No problem, just boil the medicine like this!"

Wang Tairan was completely relieved after hearing this and warned again:
'The medicine is being decocted. It will be delivered in about half an hour. Master Jingren should be able to have a good sleep tonight after drinking the medicine...'

"Well! Doctor Wang, you should also go back and have a rest!"

After Wang Tairan left, only Pei Zhixiu and two maids were left in the room, while outside the door were Qiqige and several maids and nannies guarding.

Under the dim light of the kerosene lamp, Pei Zhixiu sat in front of Jingren's bed and took Jingren's pulse again. Half a cup of tea later, Pei Zhixiu finished taking his pulse, and the result was the same as before. Jingren just had a common cold, not some difficult or complicated disease or strange poison.

Just as Pei Zhixiu put Jingren's hand back into the quilt, Jingren, who was lying on the bed, suddenly spoke:

"Aunt Pei, can you tell me about my father's past?"

Facing Jingren's sudden question, Pei Zhixiu was also a little surprised and immediately said:

"Jingren, your fever has just subsided! Have a good rest and have a good sleep!"

Seeing that Pei Zhixiu didn't say anything, Jingren was not discouraged and continued to speak:

"Aunt Pei, can you tell me about my father's past battles? Was he very good at fighting?"

"Just like the great Han champion, Huo Qubing, who led his army to attack thousands of miles away and slayed the enemy?"

Although Pei Zhixiu instinctively refused, she also replied softly when she saw Jingren's eyes sparkling with anticipation:
“Your father is much more powerful than Huo Qubing. Huo Qubing was just a general, while your father was a commander who commanded thousands of troops, just like Zhuge Liang, who planned and won battles thousands of miles away…”

After hearing this, Jingren was also very excited and continued:

"Aunt Pei, I heard that you and my father knew each other in the palace. Can you tell me how you met?"

Looking at Jingren who was like a curious baby, Pei Zhixiu warned softly:
"You should have a good rest. I will tell you when you recover from your illness!"

Jingren was a little disappointed when he heard that, but he still closed his eyes and rested obediently. Pei Zhixiu also dozed off leaning on the chair. Time passed by minute by minute in silence. Soon half an hour passed, and Pei Zhixiu opened her beautiful eyes. A moment later, Qiqige walked into the room with a bowl of medicine.

"Mrs. Pei, Master Jingren's medicine is ready!"

Pei Zhixiu glanced at the bowl of bitter-smelling medicine and nodded slightly, saying:

"The medicine is very well boiled, give it to Jingren while it's hot!"

After getting permission, Qiqige also handed it to Jingren. Jingren, who had not yet fallen asleep, looked at the medicine handed over by Qiqige, and his face immediately turned bitter and said:

"Aunt, I'm fine now. Can you please not drink this medicine? This thing is too bitter. It's not for human consumption!"

Qiqige heard this and preached very seriously:
"Jingren, good medicine tastes bitter! This medicine is the only one that can cure your illness! Your wife was so worried when you were lying in bed just now. Jingren, drink this medicine and get better soon. Don't let your mother worry about you!"

Jingren sighed helplessly upon hearing this, but he still drank it sip by sip. Seeing the painful look on Jingren's face when he drank the medicine, Pei Zhixiu seemed to realize something, and Qiqige saw Jingren drink the whole bowl of medicine with her own eyes before she left the room with satisfaction.

Just as Jingren took out a small piece of candy from his pocket and put it in his mouth to relieve the bitterness in his mouth, Pei Zhixiu's voice rang in his ears.

"Jingren, have you taken your medicine on time these days?"

After hearing this, Jingren looked a little flustered, but he still said stubbornly:

"Aunt Pei, of course I drank it on time!"

"really?"

"of course it's true!"

"If you don't tell the truth, I will tell your mother and ask her to investigate this matter to see if you really drank it..."

Hearing Aunt Pei bringing up his mother, Jingren was completely panicked and had to confess honestly:
"I drank on time for the first three days, but I drank less in the next few days!"

"Is it really just a few drinks?"

"Okay Aunt Pei, I didn't drink any of it!"

Pei Zhixiu glanced at Jingren after hearing this, and then checked the window. Looking at the window without any dust, Pei Zhixiu said in a deep voice:

"Jingren, not only did you not drink the medicine, but you also slept with the window open at night?"

Jingren also argued:
"Aunt Pei, I'm afraid of heat just like my father. It's July now and the room is very stuffy without opening the windows. I can't sleep at all!"

"So you still have ice cubes in the house and eat them?"

Facing Pei Zhixiu's sharp gaze, Jingren nodded helplessly and said:
"Mrs. Pei, you know the weather is too hot! I can't sleep without opening the windows and putting ice cubes in it."

"Jingren, you are harming yourself!"

Feeling the seriousness in Pei Zhixiu's words, Jingren also hurriedly said:

"Aunt Pei, I know I was wrong, and I will never dare to do it again!"

"Don't tell my mother. Last time, she severely punished those sisters and the nanny because I got caught in the rain. If my mother knew about this, she would definitely not let it go!"

"I did all this by myself, without caring about other people's business!"

Pei Zhixiu was a little surprised to see Jingren so responsible and considerate of others at such a young age. She had never felt anything for Jingren because of An Miaoyi. But when she looked at Jingren at this moment, she seemed to see a bit of Ye Mingsheng's shadow, which was very rare. After all, Jingren was An Miaoyi's biological son...
