Chapter 217 The Righteous Way (6)
Lin Wenqing called Lu Changqing over just to watch the joke of Du Hezhi and Bai Lingyi, mother and daughter, with her. After having lunch here, Lin Wenqing urged Lu Changqing to go back to the room to study.
"You must study hard, understand? Mother can't give you a good background, but she can let you earn a good reputation for yourself."
Lu Changqing responded seriously, "I know, mother. I will study hard."
When Lu Changqing went out, he did not go to his own yard, but went to where the maids lived in Xiyuan Mansion.
Yuan Liu followed behind Lu Changqing and saw her walking over here. He asked curiously, "Miss, what are we doing here?"
"Come and see someone."
"Who is it?"
Lu Changqing did not answer Yuan Liu. As soon as he entered the gate of Xiyuan, he heard the suppressed crying of several women coming from the yard.
Yuan Liu looked in the direction where the voice came from, then looked at Lu Changqing, "Miss, I'll go check it out first."
Lu Changqing stopped Yuan Liu and said, "Let's go together."
The doors and windows were locked from the inside and there was no one guarding outside. Lu Changqing went forward and knocked on the door, and the crying in the house stopped.
"Who?"
Quanhao sniffed his nose, stood up, walked to the door and opened it. When he saw the person coming, he was so scared that he was about to kneel on the ground.
Lu Changqing picked the man up from the ground and called Yuan Liu into the house.
When the girls in the room saw Lu Changqing, they hurriedly bowed to him, and even the girl on the bed struggled to get up.
Lu Changqing sat down in front of the bed, pressed the chicken hair back, put his right hand on her wrist and began to take her pulse.
In fact, there is no need to take the pulse. Just by looking at the chicken's current condition, you can tell that the other person is seriously ill.
His face was sallow, his spirit was weak, and he looked as if he was seriously ill.
Lu Changqing used his hands to pry open Ji Hao's mouth. Her gums were already swollen and bleeding, and she had bad breath and mucosal ulcers.
"What's your name?"
"To reply to the Fourth Miss, the servant is called chicken hair."
"I'm asking what your name was before you entered the mansion."
"Li Sui'er."
"Okay, Li Sui'er, listen to me. You are seriously ill now. You won't be cured in a short time. You can't go to my eldest brother's room anymore, and you can't drink the contraceptive soup that my eldest sister-in-law gave you."
Li Suier certainly knew that she was seriously ill, and she felt that she was about to die.
She knew that she shouldn't drink too much of the contraceptive soup brought by Madam He, but what else could she do? As a servant, was she going to disobey her masters?
"Fourth Miss, I know you have a way. Please save Sui'er. She is only fifteen years old."
The person who spoke was Wu Xiang, who was given the name Zhuhao by Bai Mingzhou and was also one of Bai Mingzhou's concubines.
Doctors had been consulted about Li Sui'er's illness, but they all said that medicine was ineffective. Wu Xiang was desperate and had tried every possible means. Seeing that Lu Changqing was concerned about Li Sui'er's condition, he knelt down and begged her to save his life.
Lu Changqing glanced at the girls in the room. They all showed symptoms of heavy metal poisoning, and Li Suier was the most seriously ill one.
Lu Changqing held Li Suier's hand and asked the system to scan her whole body to see if she was suffering from mercury poisoning.
"There are other heavy metals besides mercury."
"Use your points to buy medicine."
The system said: "Li Sui'er has been poisoned for a long time. She needs a large amount of medicine, and her body is severely damaged. Even after treatment, she will not be able to fully recover."
"It's okay. It's better than lying in bed and waiting to die in pain." Lu Changqing added: "Change some more medicine, grind it into powder, and pack it separately. Everyone in this room must take it."
Almost as soon as Lu Changqing finished speaking, more than a dozen packets of medicine powder appeared in her space.
"It's written on the outside of the paper package how to take it and how much to take. When you give it to them, just tell them to take it according to the dosage."
"Okay, got it."
After sending the system away, Lu Changqing looked at Wu Xiang, "What's your name?"
"The name of the sir is Zhuhao."
Lu Changqing had a very deep impression of this extremely insulting name. In the plot, this girl did not take good care of Bai Mingzhou, which caused him to fall ill on the eve of the imperial examination. He was scolded by Du Hezhi and then beaten with fifty boards. A healthy man was beaten to death.
"Come out with me for a moment."
Yuan Liu wanted to follow, but was stopped by Lu Changqing, "Wait here for me first, I'll ask her something at the door."
Lu Changqing took Wu Xiang to a secluded place in the yard and asked, "How old are you? How long have you been serving my elder brother?"
Wu Xiang's hands were shaking under his sleeves. He tried to control his voice and said, "I am seventeen years old this year. I have been serving... the eldest master for three years."
"You went to my eldest brother's yard before Li Sui'er?"
"Yes."
"What kind of person is Li Sui'er?"
"Sui'er is the youngest among us. She is lively and has the most distinctive appearance. She is the most favored by the eldest master."
Lu Changqing sneered. She was naturally laughing at Bai Mingzhou, the scumbag. This was the gentleman that everyone praised for being upright and gentle.
"My eldest sister-in-law is not a generous person who can tolerate other women, otherwise she would not have fed you such a poisonous medicine. As for my eldest brother, you have been with him for so long, you should know his character. Li Sui'er's illness is so serious, but he actually called her to the room. He is simply lustful and crazy.
Moreover, he clearly knew that this contraceptive soup could not be taken for a long time, but he allowed my sister-in-law to use the medicine on you. It seems that he did not take your lives seriously. "
Wu Xiang was the earliest maid to follow Bai Mingzhou, so she naturally knew what kind of person Bai Mingzhou was.
"Have you ever thought about leaving my brother's yard?"
Wu Xiang looked a little flustered, "Is the Fourth Miss going to chase us away?"
"I'm not driving you away. I'm asking you to leave and find a way to make a living somewhere else. If you stay here any longer, you'll die."
Wu Xiang wiped his tears and said, "Thank you, Fourth Miss, for your kindness, but we are all servants who have signed a death contract with the mansion. The master and mistress will not let us go easily."
"If you have the chance to leave in the future, would you be willing to go? Maybe the food and clothing you have after leaving will not be as good as those in the mansion, and you may even have to live a life of displacement. If that's the case, are you willing to leave?"
Wu Xiang, with tears still in his eyes, said carefully: "If we can leave, we are willing to do so. We are not afraid of hardship. We have hands and feet, we can sew clothes and embroider, we can read and do accounts, and we will always find a way to support ourselves."
Lu Changqing nodded and said "OK", then changed the subject and said: "I still need to prepare your medicine, come to my yard to find me after lunch tomorrow."
"Thank you, Fourth Miss, for saving my life." Wu Xiangting was filled with gratitude and was about to kneel down again, but was stopped by Lu Changqing's hand.
Lu Changqing warned, "Take good care of Li Sui'er. As for my eldest brother, be smart and try to hide if you can. If my eldest sister-in-law doesn't ask you to go over, don't go over and offend her."
"Thank you for the reminder, Fourth Miss. I'll take note of it and will tell Sui'er and the others what you said."
Lu Changqing and Yuan Liu were walking back to the courtyard. Yuan Liu couldn't resist asking out of curiosity, "Miss, they are all from the eldest master's room. Why are you helping them? If Miss Lin knew about this, she would definitely scold you for meddling in other people's business."
Yuan Liu glanced at Lu Changqing and said cautiously, "Also, young lady, when will you learn how to take a pulse and prescribe medicine?"
Lu Changqing turned his head and looked at Yuan Liu, and warned him seriously: "Don't tell my mother about this. As for how I learned to take pulses and prescribe medicine, don't worry about it. If my mother knows what I did today, you will be the only one to blame, understand?"
