Chapter 78 The Implication of the Doctor

The most famous doctor in Nanfeng County is Hang Hengfang. He was born in a family of scholars who were not successful in imperial examinations. He had failed the exams many times and spent all the money. Fortunately, though he performed not well in his study, he was very talented in medical treatment.

After becoming a doctor, he was famous soon. He not only redeemed most of the property pawned before but had the courteous treatment in the county. Even the County Chief courteously treated him.

However, the most commendable thing of Hang Hengfang was not his medical skills, but his personality. He attached importance to the harmony. With more than 20 years’ experience of curing illnesses, he never said anything wrong.

Entering Huafei Mansion, he felt the pulse of Sheng Weirao and frowned, feeling nervous!

Before Sheng Weiqiao and others asked, he sighed, “This lady was heartbroken and fell in a faint!”

Sheng Weiqiao almost burst into tears, “Yes….”

“Fortunately, she is young. After being taken good care of for a few days, she would recover soon with no hidden illnesses.” Taking back the hand on her wrist, he comforted softly, “Second Miss, don’t worry!”

Sheng Weiqiao expressed thanks to him and asked, “When will my sister wake up?”

“She will wake up in about two hours.” Hang Hengfang said, “After waking up, she will be frail. It is not appropriate to chat with her for a long time. You’d better let her drink a bowl of soothing decoction and sleep. Tomorrow afternoon, she will be better and can talk with you.”

Then, Sheng Weiqiao and Xiquan inquired more, and Hang Hengfang answered patiently. Making sure that they have no more questions, he went to the table and wrote the prescription.

After writing the prescription, he didn’t hand it to Baozhuang, who was waiting for him. Instead, he told Xiquan, “Aunt, the prescription needs a rare medicine, which is easy to be confused with other herbal medicines. For the sake of safety, please follow me and take medicines.”

Sheng Weiqiao was not a person with much scheming. At the moment, all that she concerned about was Sheng Weirao. However, both Xiquan and Gongsun Yingjiang looked seriously and made eye contact.

Xiquan deliberately avoided the sight of Sheng Weiqiao. Turning to him, she said calmly, “Sorry to trouble you! Alright, Second Miss, please stay here to take care of Third Miss. I will accompany the doctor to take medicine and will come back soon!”

She didn’t return to Huafei Mansion after going out.

After about four hours, Sheng Weirao, as well as her servants, were moved to Zhuying Mini Villa. Sheng Weirao also woke up in the middle and had a brief conversation with her aunt and nephew. Sheng Weiqiao was planning to send Gongsun Yingjiang to Qiongpa House when Xiquan finally came.

She was with Madam Feng.

“Mother, are you here to see Sister Rao?” Sheng Weiqiao gave her a salute without much consideration, “Sister Rao just woke up once, but as Doctor Hang said, she is weak. Making sure that the death of Second Aunt has been reported to Yamen, she drank the soothing soup and fell asleep.”

Madam Feng looked terrible, and rarely did she look serious to her daughter. She nodded and said, “I knew. Sweetheart, you have been busy with Yingjiang all day, you must be exhausted. You go back and take a rest. Xiquan and I will be here!”

Sheng Weiqiao agreed, but she did not go back immediately. She asked with concern, “How is my grandmother now? What about Fifth Brother?”

“They are taken care of by some people, and nothing will happen.” Madam Feng seemed to be impatient. Pressing lips, she was seen to be enduring, saying, “Okay, we can talk tomorrow. You go to sleep!”

Sheng Weiqiao saw her mother’s impatience, but she didn’t think much about it. After all, no mistress of a family would be in a good mood when such things happened. Therefore, she agreed and pulled Gongsun Yingjiang away.

At night, Sheng Family was not in peace.

The next morning, when Sheng Weiqiao got up, she heard the news that her grandfather was ill.

She went to visit Sheng Weirao first. Baoyue, who accompanied her last night, said to her, “Miss woke up in the middle of the night. At that time, Eldest Madam was here, and she talked to her. She seemed to be comforting her.”

Speaking of this, Baoyue hesitated and said in a low voice, “I was outside the door at that time. I heard Miss crying for a long time, and Eldest Madam was angry. She spoke aloud in the middle of their conversation. However, I didn’t hear it clearly. Then… she left with anger!”

Seeing Sheng Weiqiao frown slightly, she said, “I have no other meanings! Second Madam and Miss were close to others! She knew that Eldest Madam cared about her, but Second Madam just died yesterday. It is hard for Miss to change her mind. Second Miss, please do her a favor and explain to Eldest Madam that Miss has no intention to trouble her!”

Sheng Weiqiao understood her thoughts. She doubted that Madam Feng was required by Old Madam Ming to persuade Sheng Weirao to change her mind, not insisting that her father should die for redemption for her mother. Sheng Weirao refused, so Madam Feng left with anger.

Although Senior Master Sheng had reported that to Yamen, before Sheng Lansi was officially convicted, he had a chance of getting out of the penalty.

Since Old Madam Ming spoiled her own son, she would not give up just because Sheng Lansi was sent to prison by Senior Master Sheng.

However, Sheng Weiqiao didn’t think so. She knew well about her biological mother. In the Jinxue House before, Old Madam Ming threatened to commit suicide, so Madam Feng was forced to talk with Sheng Weirao to make a concession. Now that Senior Master Sheng had decided, and Old Madam Ming didn’t threaten to die, though she was ill in bed hoping her daughter to make a compromise, Madam Feng was unlikely to help her!

Before Old Madam Ming woke up, she decided to take Sheng Weirao to Zhuying Mini Villa. It indicated that Madam Feng was in support of her niece.

“Okay. I will ask my mother.” Sheng Weiqiao pondered for a while and said to Baoyue, “Don’t worry. If my mother didn’t care for Sister Rao, she would not have taken her to Zhuying Mini Villa. After all, grandmother is an elder!”

Old Madam Ming was now trying her best to save Sheng Lansi. Even if she knew that the eldest daughter-in-law took Sheng Weirao there, she was in no mood to ask about that.

After the thing passed, Old Madam must hate Madam Feng.

Not only Old Madam but Sheng Lansi would oppose to her. After all, Sheng Weirao had said that she didn’t care about whether her grandmother was alive or not, and she must make him dead for redemption for her mother.

Although Madam Feng was not afraid of her mother-in-law and brother-in-law as she had a high status in the family, she had a mild temperament, unwilling to offend people. If it weren’t that she felt the niece pitiful, she would not do this kind of thing.

Baoyue felt relieved and said with embarrassment, “You’re right, Second Miss. I got in way over my head.”

Sheng Weiqiao had to go to visit Senior Master Sheng, so she didn’t have time to talk with her. Telling her to serve Sheng Weirao well, she tucked the quilt for her and then left.

She went to Qiongpa House and called Gongsun Yingjiang to visit Senior Master Sheng in Jinxue House.

After arriving, they knew that Senior Master Sheng’s illness was caused by anger, and he was in a bad mood. Tired of being surrounded by many people, Senior Master Sheng only let Sheng Lanci, Sheng Shuihe, and Sheng Weide in and had a talk. Others were stopped outside.

Therefore, many people were waiting in the drawing room, hoping to inquire about conditions about Senior Master.

“Third Uncle, where is my mother?” Sheng Weiqiao thought that it was better to ask Madam Feng about what she had talked with Sheng Weirao last night, but she looked around and couldn’t see Madam Feng. She asked Sheng Lanzi, who was drinking tea quietly, “Is she serving grandmother?”

Hearing the words, he put down the teacup and shook his head, “No, it is your Third Aunt who is serving your grandmother. Your mother is in the front house!”

Sheng Weiqiao was surprised, “Huh?”

“People of Yamen are here, but your grandfather is ill, and your father is talking with your grandfather, so your mother went to cope with it.” Sheng Lanzi said with embarrassment, “Do you have something to tell her? Sit here for a while, and she will be back later. “

In fact, Senior Master Sheng and Sheng Lanci were very busy. Sheng Lansi was imprisoned. At the time, when people of Yamen came, Sheng Lanzi, Third Master of Sheng Family, should have given a reception.

However, when it came to reporting to Yamen, Senior Master Sheng and Old Madam Ming had different opinions. Last night, when Senior Master Sheng ordered someone to find Sheng Lansi, Sheng Lansi was not allowed to be back in Sheng Family and was sent to Yamen directly. Even if Senior Master Sheng had a definite attitude, people of Yamen would not subject Sheng Lansi to torture at night.

After all, Nanfeng County was far away from the center. Since ancient times, the officials here had cooperated with prominent families to control the region.

Sheng Family had always been in a good relationship with Yamen. The current County Chief and Sheng Lanci often responded to each other with poems. He knew very well about Sheng Family: Madam Bai was only Sheng Lansi’s second wife with a disgraceful way to be married into the family. The original family of Madam Bai was not wealthy. With low morale characters, they would extort a large sum of money from Sheng Family after knowing her death. They would rather get a lot of money than make Sheng Lansi die.

There was no doubt how Yamen decide on this!

Now, they came in the early morning, certainly not to inform the result of the interrogation. They were here to inquire how Sheng Family see this, so they could handle it properly. After all, the father and son had a blood relationship. After one night, Senior Master Sheng, who swore to take revenge for his daughter-in-law, might be softhearted?

In Sheng Lanzi’s view, as the biologic son of Senior Master Sheng and Old Madam Ming, whether to handle just according to law, as was suggested by Senior Master Sheng, or to let off him, as was suggested by Old Madam Ming, were not suitable.

So, when Madam Feng sent someone to call him, he tried to get out of this in every possible way, handing it to Madam Feng. At the moment, when his niece asked about his eldest sister-in-law, he felt guilty.

Replying with a sentence, he quickly changed the topic and asked about Sheng Weirao, “How is Weirao now?”

Sheng Weiqiao replied with an absent mind. She waited for a while, and her father still did not come out. Her mother didn’t come back, either. She said, “I will have a look!”

It was coincident that when she just stood up, Madam Feng, with tired and serious expressions, came in, followed by Xiquan and the other two maids.
