The road to wealth of a peasant widow

Chapter 242 Princess

"Well, I strictly followed the method you summarized and operated carefully. I saved the princess who was suffocating and she can breathe on her own now!"

Sui Sui secretly looked at Chen Cui's expression and spoke carefully.

"Quick, tell us the details so we can all hear them!"

Qin Ruozhi urged hurriedly.

Suisui looked at everyone's attention and could only tell them what happened yesterday again.

It's no wonder that everyone is curious. Although this first aid method was discovered by Qin Ruozhi from an old edition of ancient medical books, and they all learned it at the beginning, they actually never thought that there would be a day when they would use it. Moreover, before they actually put it into practice, they didn't know whether it was really useful.

Normally, there were few emergency patients who went to their clinic for treatment, and even fewer who were suffering from breath holding. Qin Ruozhi had no chance to experiment at all. When she learned that the first aid method she discovered had actually saved a life, she was so surprised that she even ignored the identity of the person who was saved.

Chen Cui coughed lightly and said to Sui Sui sternly, "Girl, you dared to act without knowing the situation. Fortunately, you saved the person in the end. If something happened to the princess, your life would not be enough to compensate!"

Although according to the daughter-in-law, the Prince An's Mansion has been without a real owner for many years, the princess is of royal blood after all, and has been raised in the palace since childhood. It is obvious that she is valued by the nobles in the palace, and her family cannot afford to offend her no matter what!

Sui Sui lowered his head in shame: "Yes, I know, mother, I won't dare to do it again next time!"

Chen Cui turned to Chang Fu again, her tone even more severe than before: "And you, your sister is young and doesn't know the seriousness of the situation. How old are you, and you are still an official in the court? You didn't even consider the situation and let your sister rescue people without authorization. You didn't even think about whether it would bring disaster to the family!"

It's not that Chen Cui wanted to let the children die without helping them or stand by and watch, but this evil feudal dynasty was a place with strict class divisions. If any ordinary citizen had tried to save them, it would have been fine. Even if they failed to save them in the end, people would not have the courage to blame them. Instead, they would just be grateful.

But they were not facing an ordinary person, but a royal princess, who was at the top of the privileged class.

Haven’t you seen the frequent plots in TV dramas: “Incompetent doctor! Someone, drag him out and behead him!”? Although the real situation is not that exaggerated, the risks for imperial doctors are indeed high. If something goes wrong while treating a noble in the palace, they may indeed lose their heads.

Therefore, the imperial doctors in the palace who were good at health preservation were accustomed to using "Tai Fang" and using medicine in a conventional way. They would rather have a medicine without effect than use "tiger and wolf medicine". They tried not to use cold medicine and there would be no risk.

In comparison, folk doctors are more free and dare to use medicine. The people are ignorant and the medical conditions are backward. If the disease is cured, it is the doctor's credit. If it is not cured, it means that the person's life is over and the King of Hell wants to go, and the family members will not make trouble.

The princess had lived in the palace for so many years, but her health had not improved. Either her health was so poor that even the imperial doctors who were good at conditioning her body could not fully restore her health, or her body was simply damaged by this slow method, so she almost lost her life when she went out for a swim in the lake.

But no matter which situation it is, it is not something that the Liu family can be responsible for. Once something goes wrong with the princess's health, not only will Jirentang have to close down, even the Liu family may not be able to save her.

Don’t talk about things like “three Jinshi in one family”. Facing the imperial power, what do these few Jinshi count for?

Therefore, Changfu bowed his head and admitted his mistake, admitting that it was his own carelessness that almost brought disaster to his family.

Chang'an sighed and said nothing, but Changping did not let Changfu go. He said with a sullen face: "Go and copy Zhu Xi's Maxims on Family Management ten times and reflect on your mistakes!"

He took on the responsibility of bringing honor to the family and worked hard to improve himself. He did not ask his two younger brothers to achieve anything in officialdom, but they could not be so unconscious and act recklessly.

What I did doesn't seem like something that someone who has been an official for several years would do. Is it because I am too lenient and low-key with them?

Changping began to have some doubts about what he did in his daily life!

Changfu lowered his head and replied yes.

Qin Ruozhi also realized the risks involved in this matter and didn't say anything. Zhang Hongjuan was even more silent and just listened with her ears perked up.

Seeing this, Chen Cui didn't have the heart to say anything more. She waved her hand and asked everyone to disperse.

The next day, Chen Cui brought Qin Ruozhi to meet Nanny Chen from Prince An's Mansion with a smile on their faces.

This Nanny Chen was the one who had been guarding the princess the day before yesterday. She was the princess's wet nurse, who had taken care of her since she was a child, followed her into the palace and followed her out of the palace. The princess could not leave her wherever she went.

At this time, talking about the danger that day, Nanny Chen's tears flowed again: "If it weren't for the young lady in the mansion who helped that day, who knows what would have happened to our princess. Although she has been treated by the doctor, she is still in poor health. She can't get out of bed or go out. I, an old servant, can only come to the mansion to thank you on behalf of the master. I hope you won't blame me for this!"

Chen Cui naturally wouldn't argue with this, instead she modestly said: "Not at all, it was just a coincidence that day. She was young and didn't know the seriousness of the matter. I hope the princess won't blame her for being reckless!"

The nanny praised Sui Sui lavishly, praising her again and again. Finally, she mentioned another purpose besides thanking him: she wanted to invite Doctor Qian from Jirentang to see her princess!

At this point, she began to wipe her tears and explained, "Poor girl, our princess lost her mother a few days after she was born, and her father when she was two or three years old. She started taking medicine before she learned to eat. Although the Queen Mother is kind and raised her under her knees, and asked the palace doctors to take care of her, but after so many years, she has drunk a lot of bitter medicine soup, but there is still no significant progress. She is still carefully taken care of, and cannot get angry, nor can she be overly sad or happy. She is so young and alone, her life is as peaceful as a well, even worse than an old woman like me. Now the princess has asked to leave the palace and stay at home for a while. I want to take this opportunity to invite some famous doctors outside the palace to treat her, so that we can combine the strengths of all families and see if there can be any turn for the better!"

According to what she said, this princess is really pitiful. She has a distinguished status and is destined to be rich and powerful, but she is limited by her poor body and can do nothing. She lives a life worse than those old people who are about to die.

However, Chen Cui's knowledge of medical skills was limited to some first aid and surgical common sense. When it came to seeing patients, she really couldn't make the decision.

So, she turned her gaze to her eldest daughter-in-law. After all, she was now in charge of the clinic and was also a doctor. Dr. Qian was her master, so if anyone was to make the decision, she had to be the one!
