Chapter 176 Rescued
Liang and Jing'er were sent back to the main courtyard. Jiang Li and Fang changed Liang's wet clothes and wrapped her in a thick quilt.
Jing'er was also placed in the same room so that Jiang Li could provide acupuncture and treatment at the same time.
Jiang Li fed the mother and son heart-protecting pills separately. Fang, who was standing beside her, was puzzled. "Madam, Madam Liang's body is still very hot. If she covers herself with a thick blanket now, will it block the heat from dissipating?"
"Of course, we can't dissipate the heat too quickly. We need to cool it down gradually." Otherwise, with Liang and Jing'er's current physical conditions, they simply wouldn't be able to withstand the alternation between hot and cold.
Fang nodded in understanding, "Madam, I'll stay by the side and keep an eye on Brother Jin."
"it is good."
Compared with Jing'er's condition, Liang's condition is more critical and requires immediate acupuncture to preserve her vitality.
Looking at Liang's pale face in silence and unconsciousness, Jiang Li could even imagine how desperate and helpless Liang was at that time.
Jiang Li has always known that the evil in this world is often just a matter of a thought in human nature. She has seen all kinds of evil, no matter how great it is, but she still despises Madam Cheng's behavior of being so cruel as to eat her own cubs.
About half an hour later, Jiang Li pulled out the last plum blossom needle, held Liang's wrist to diagnose her pulse, and then felt her body temperature.
After confirming that Liang's life was no longer in danger, he threw the silver needle into a bowl of liquor beside him.
At this moment, footsteps were heard from the doorway, followed by Ming Ye's report from outside the house: "Madam, I found Madam Zhu, who is with the eldest lady of the Cheng family, in the warehouse."
"Okay, let them in." At this moment, Liang still needed someone to watch over her and serve her.
"Yes."
"Madam!" Nanny Zhu beside Liang wiped her tears and walked slowly forward. Her voice was filled with tears, but she did not dare to make a noise.
When Madam Zhu saw Jiang Li, she immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Madam Li, for saving our mistress and son. Madam Li, your great kindness will be repaid in my next life."
Jiang Li, holding the bowl of liquor, stood up from Liang's couch: "Hurry up, why are you alone?"
The mistress of the house had such a serious incident, but there was no one around her who could be of use. It was obvious that she had been framed by Madam Cheng and Mrs. Da.
Nanny Zhu stood up and wiped her tears, "In reply to Madam Li, since the incident yesterday, all the servants who served the Madam and her brothers and sisters have been -"
As Madam Zhu spoke, she burst into tears again.
After hearing this, Jiang Li still had nothing to understand.
He sighed helplessly in his heart and said softly, "Your wife is in poor health now and needs someone to take care of her. Fortunately, you are here."
Nanny Zhu nodded repeatedly and came to Liang's bedside. Seeing her mistress's sick condition, her heart ached and bled. "Madam Li, don't worry. I will definitely take good care of my mistress."
Seeing Jiang Li go to the small couch on the other side, where their young master was lying, he felt distressed as well, but he didn't dare to go too close and disturb Madam Li from treating the young master.
Fang stood up from the couch and made room for Jiang Li, bringing another candlestick.
Jiang Li sat down slowly and took out Jing'er's wrist from under the quilt. The little guy was still jumping around in front of her a few days ago, but now he looked sick and listless, which really made her feel unbearable.
Jiang Li suppressed his pulse, closed his eyes and sensed it for a while, and his brows couldn't help but frowned slightly.
After thinking for a while, he turned around and asked Nanny Zhu in front of him: "Has Brother Jin been unusual before?"
Nanny Zhu nodded repeatedly and reported truthfully in a hoarse voice, "To answer Madam Li's question, my young master was fine for the first two days of his ten-day holiday. But yesterday afternoon, after lunch, he suddenly became violent and unresponsive. He didn't recognize anyone, and none of the servants could restrain him. He smashed everything in the young master's room and injured several of the servants."
Ever since Cheng Jin started attending school on Changsheng Island, he has been practicing martial arts with his brothers. Although he is not strong enough as a kid, he does have some basic skills. If he gets angry, servants and boys who only have strength will not be able to stop him.
The more Madam Zhu spoke, the more frightened she became, and at the same time, heartbroken. "My young master has been very polite since he was young. He treats servants with great courtesy. He never speaks loudly to them, and certainly never strikes them without reason. Seeing his appearance, the mistress suspected that someone had done something to him. She ordered several servants to tie him up and bring him to the island as soon as possible to ask for your help."
At this point, Nanny Zhu gritted her teeth in hatred. "I never thought that when the old lady learned of this, she would unite with Miss Da and insist that our young master was under a spell and call a wizard to exorcise him. My eldest lady was reluctant, but the old lady refused to listen. She even tied up my eldest lady and said that she was also under a spell and wanted a wizard to exorcise her as well."
"We, the servants who serve the ladies, are determined to protect our masters, but the people under the old lady are so despicable—"
As Madam Zhu spoke, she wiped away her tears. Then, thinking of something, she hurriedly asked, "Oh, right, our young lady, the eldest lady took advantage of the chaos and asked me to arrange for someone useful to escort her out of the house. I have repeatedly urged her to be sent to Lady Li's Changsheng Island. Now, our young lady is—"
Jiang Li nodded: "Sister Yi is fine."
When Madam Zhu heard this, she felt relieved.
What Nanny Zhu didn't know was that if Jiang Li hadn't been so distracted that she sent people to Yanzhou City, Sister Yi, who had fallen in the snow on the side of the road, would probably have been unable to escape her bad fate.
Jiang Li did not intend to discuss this matter at this critical juncture. The most urgent task was to remove the poison from Cheng Jin's body.
Yes, Cheng Jin was poisoned by a rare hallucinogenic poison that could drive a person insane. Not being able to recognize people was the least of his problems, but it would be difficult to get rid of the poison if left untreated for too long.
After confirming that Cheng Jin's symptoms were consistent with the poison she diagnosed, Jiang Li quickly gave the child acupuncture to remove the poison. How vicious could one be to give such a poison to such a young child?
Jiang Li was busy all the time, and it was already dark outside. She wrote out two prescriptions and asked Ming Ye to go to her own Huiyitang to get the prescriptions.
Dashuan and his wife, who also lived in the city, had not known that their sister-in-law Jiang Li was currently at the Cheng Mansion in Yanzhou City, if the shopkeeper had not brought a message to them.
Dashuan went to Cheng's house and found Mingyang. After learning what happened inside the house, he immediately went home and asked his wife Zhao to prepare dinner and send it to Cheng's house.
Dashuan felt that the Cheng family was full of poison from top to bottom, and was afraid that his sister-in-law would eat poisonous food at the Cheng family, so it would be more appropriate to make it at home and send it to the Cheng family.
Jiang Li didn't have much of an appetite, so he put down his bowl and chopsticks after eating half a bowl of soup.
Although Zhao often returned to the island to visit her sister-in-law and parents-in-law, she was also very worried about them. Although life in the city seemed easy in every aspect, it was not as interesting as living on the island.
Zhao advised: "Sister-in-law, please eat a few more bites."
Jiang Li wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, shook her head and smiled: "No need, it doesn't matter whether you eat more or less for dinner."
As he spoke, he took Zhao's hand and looked up at her: "Are Dabao and Erbao used to living in the city?"
Dabao's temperament became increasingly tough as he grew older, preferring to follow his father in business rather than study in school. As for Erbao, Jiang Li had taken good care of him a few years ago. Zhao, who had risked her life to give birth to this child, naturally loved him deeply and wanted to take him with her even when she returned to the city.
"My sister-in-law is very thoughtful. Both children are doing well. They often say they want to go back to the island to visit their grandparents and aunt."
Jiang Li smiled, and then thought of something else, and asked, "Any news recently?"
Zhao knew what her sister-in-law was asking. She put on a helpless smile and shook her head.
In recent years, as Changsheng Island's industries have spread to many places, Dashuan would always stop for a while when he went to other places to inquire about the whereabouts of her parents, elder brother and sister-in-law from her natal family.
It is not easy to find someone in such a vast sea of people. Over the years, Zhao has gradually lost hope.
