I pretend to be a unicorn in the Red Mansion
Chapter 113 Mrs. Wang knows Baoyu's situation
After careful consideration, Jia Cheng made the next plan for Lady Xing and Jia She, and the two of them obeyed his orders and carried out everything he said.
With the two prescriptions provided by Jia Cheng, Jia She and Mrs. Xing suddenly felt more confident and were no longer as anxious as before.
They calmly ordered their men to take out the corresponding herbs from the storehouse, and personally directed the maids and servants to prepare the medicine together.
Before long, the rich aroma of Chinese medicine filled the air above the entire Rongguo Mansion.
Madam Xing and Jia She coaxed Jia Cheng to drink the Chinese medicine for treatment. Seeing that the rash on Jia Cheng's body had subsided a lot, the two of them immediately smiled happily.
Immediately afterwards, Jia She and Mrs. Xing acted separately.
Mrs. Xing led a group of people to deliver the medicine. They first went to Rongqing Hall to see Lady Jia, and then went to other courtyards.
Jia She immediately launched an investigation into the source of smallpox, trying to find out the root cause.
Because Jia Cheng took Tanchun away without hesitation, Jia Mu, Jia Min and Lin Daiyu, who were in relatively good health and had received careful medical treatment, did not contract smallpox.
Even Wang Xifeng, who was pregnant, was lucky enough to escape the smallpox virus.
Yingchun and the three maids serving Rongqingtang were not spared and were infected with smallpox. They are now showing symptoms of fever.
Mrs. Xing delivered the medicine in time, so Yingchun and the three maids did not suffer much. After drinking the therapeutic medicine, their high fever went away.
The others drank preventive Chinese medicine and stayed in their respective rooms waiting for the results.
However, after this incident, Mrs. Xing's popularity in the Rongguo Mansion improved. In such a desperate time, when someone came to deliver medicine, who could not be grateful?
As Mrs. Xing spread the word, everyone learned that the prescription came from Jia Cheng.
What is even more touching is that Jia Cheng himself was unfortunately infected with smallpox, but he still cared about everyone and tried every means to find a cure for everyone.
This kindness and righteousness moved everyone.
People are not plants or trees, so who can be heartless? Everyone thanked Jia Cheng silently in their hearts, and at the same time, they also had a deep respect for him.
In addition to Yingchun, another person who got smallpox was Jia Baoyu. Jia Cheng kept Tanchun and Jia Baoyu together for such a long time and they were so close to each other, it was inevitable that Jia Baoyu would get smallpox.
Moreover, the smallpox virus that Jia Baoyu was infected with was more potent and aggressive, causing him great pain.
Zhou Ruijia had been guarding Jia Baoyu the whole time, and when she saw his condition, she immediately became panicked.
When the doctor invited from outside the mansion found out that Jia Baoyu had smallpox, he immediately fled. Although doctors have a kind heart, his own life is more important, so he cannot treat this disease.
Even though Zhou Ruijia kept raising the medical fee, the doctor still ran out of Rongguo Mansion without looking back and spread the news.
As a result, the people who had set up stalls on Rongning Street immediately dispersed.
The smallpox virus is so terrible. Poor people like them dare not get it. They already have a lack of medical care and medicine. If they get it, they will die.
Zhou Ruijia was scared when she saw the doctor ran away, but she could only bite the bullet and take care of Jia Baoyu.
After all, she had not done what Madam Wang had asked her to do. If she dared to escape now, Madam Wang would kill her.
The other maids in Jia Baoyu's room were all terrified, their faces turned pale, and they screamed shrilly one after another.
What's worse, some just ran out wildly.
Zhou Rui's wife was very annoyed when she heard the noise. She could not help but yell at them, "You little bitches, you always keep talking about Baoyu. Baoyu is really kind to you.
Now that Baoyu is just ill, you are afraid of death and run away from him. How can you be worthy of Baoyu's sincere heart towards you?"
After the scolding, the screaming little maids were so ashamed that they wished they could find a hole to crawl into.
However, as Zhou Ruijia was cursing, she suddenly felt dizzy and her body was hot.
She thought to herself, "Oh no, could it be that I've been infected too? This is the end."
At this moment, Jia Cheng was witnessing the commotion in Jia Baoyu's courtyard through the spy talisman.
He couldn't help but chuckle, and turned to the system and said, "Brother Tong, try to send the note to Mrs. Wang and tell her that Jia Baoyu has contracted smallpox."
Jia Cheng is a vengeful person. Mrs. Wang has caused this disaster, so she cannot just sit back and enjoy it. She must also feel the power of smallpox herself.
Jia Cheng always takes revenge for his enemies, and this time he will make Mrs. Wang taste the bitter fruit.
The smallpox virus is very powerful and it is very likely that it will cause Mrs. Wang to die directly.
In this way, Jia Cheng would not be able to slowly play some cruel and heart-wrenching games with Mrs. Wang.
If Mrs. Wang died peacefully from smallpox, it would be a blessing in disguise, and would be much happier than suffering and then dying.
Jia Cheng curled his lips, thinking that his good second aunt was really lucky.
It’s a pity that I can’t play with my enemies slowly.
But there are always regrets in life.
But he didn't want to let Mrs. Wang go so easily, so he could only give her a little "surprise" before she died.
Jia Cheng could imagine how devastated Mrs. Wang would be when she learned that Jia Baoyu had contracted smallpox.
Mrs. Wang gave birth to two sons and one daughter in her life. The eldest son is gone, and the eldest daughter entered the palace. Now she only has her precious baby Baoyu by her side.
She definitely didn't want Jia Baoyu to die. If Jia Baoyu died, she would have no one to rely on.
Then let’s see if there is a deep mother-son relationship between them?
Will Mrs. Wang come to take care of Jia Baoyu?
Whenever Mrs. Wang went there, Jia Cheng would let her get smallpox.
If Mrs. Wang didn't go, Jia Cheng would not let her go.
There will be only one ending for Mrs. Wang: she will be infected with smallpox. Whether she lives or dies depends on her luck.
At the same time, Jia Cheng also wanted to test Jia Baoyu's human nature to see if his father and mother truly loved him.
Jia Cheng is serious about playing with people's hearts.
After receiving Jia Cheng's order, the system quickly left and arrived in front of the Buddha statue in the blink of an eye, placing the note steadily on it.
At this moment, Mrs. Wang was kneeling devoutly on the cushion and chanting scriptures in a low voice, muttering some obscure scriptures.
If you listen carefully, you can realize that she is actually secretly cursing Jia Cheng to die soon.
Upon seeing this, the system's eyes widened in anger and glared at Madam Wang fiercely.
Then, it took a deep breath and blew gently at the piece of paper.
The note seemed to be given life and slowly floated in front of Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang was shocked when she suddenly saw the note appearing in the Buddhist temple.
She quickly reached out and picked up the note. After a closer look, she saw that it was written: "Baoyu has smallpox!"
How is it possible? Mrs. Wang's heart tightened instantly, and a sense of fear surged in her heart.
She held the note tightly in her hand, and cold sweat dripped down her forehead.
I had clearly asked Zhou Rui's wife to keep an eye on Baoyu, not only making him drink medicine to prevent smallpox, but also not allowing him to have any contact with Tanchun today.
But now, why did Baoyu still contract smallpox?
The smallpox virus that was previously added to Tanchun's ointment had no effect at all. Tanchun did not meet Baoyu today, so how did Baoyu get infected with smallpox?
Mrs. Wang was puzzled and full of doubts and anxiety.
The person who should have suffered from smallpox should have been that bastard Jia Cheng, so why did her beloved Baoyu have to suffer this misfortune?
Mrs. Wang was extremely anxious and wanted to know about Jia Baoyu's condition desperately.
She hurried to the door of the Buddhist hall and knocked hard on it, her voice revealing a hint of anxiety: "Madame Wang, I have something important to discuss with you. Please come in and talk to me!"
However, Nanny Wang sat outside the door like a sculpture, ignoring Mrs. Wang's calls.
Mrs. Wang was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but she had no choice but to swallow her anger.
Seeing that Nanny Wang was indifferent, Mrs. Wang suddenly thought of a plan.
She quickly took out the precious jewelry that Jia Zheng had given her this morning from her bosom, and her originally tense face instantly changed into a amiable smile.
Then, she carefully handed the jewelry to Nanny Wang through the crack in the door.
"Madame Wang, we have known each other since childhood, and we have a special bond. Now you have come here to accompany me and suffer together. It is really hard.
Here are some jewelry, just consider it as a little gift from me.
I heard that your second daughter is going to get married soon, and these jewelry can be used to add some brilliance to her wedding." After that, Mrs. Wang handed the exquisite jewelry to Nanny Wang.
Nanny Wang stared at the kingfisher feathers and the jade hairpin, a hint of greed flashed in her eyes, but she didn't dare to accept them because she hated Madam Wang.
She knew that if she accepted these gifts, she would be too embarrassed to find opportunities to make things difficult for Mrs. Wang in the future.
However, with such tempting treasure right in front of us, we would be unwilling to not accept it.
Just when Nanny Wang was in a dilemma, she suddenly thought: "If I accept the gift from Madam Wang, won't I be controlled by her in the future? No, I can't be bribed so easily!"
Mrs. Wang was such a smart person that she could naturally see through Nanny Wang's inner struggle and entanglement at a glance.
She cursed inwardly, "This damn bitch is so ungrateful! Humph, wait and see how I deal with you..."
Thinking that if Nanny Wang agreed to her request, she would not live long, so she patiently said to her: "You have many children at home, and the burden is heavy.
Since I have given your second daughter a dowry, you must also give your other children. I will give you another 5000 taels of silver later."
Nanny Wang's originally dull and lifeless eyes suddenly became bright, as if they were lit on fire.
Although she once felt disgusted with the Second Young Miss, at this moment, facing the tempting silver, all the past hatred and grudges seemed to have disappeared.
After all, who would go against real money?
These five thousand taels of silver are enough for their whole family to live a comfortable and prosperous life for several years!
When she thought of this, a fawning smile immediately appeared on Nanny Wang's face, which was in sharp contrast to her previous cold and hard attitude.
She said with a big smile on her face, "Oh my, Miss Second, you are so polite! I would like to thank you on behalf of those good-for-nothing little bastards in my family!"
Nanny Wang knew very well that the reason why Madam Wang was so generous in rewarding her with so much silver was that she must have something to ask of her.
So now she became much smarter and asked without hesitation: "Second Miss, do you need me to do anything for you? Just tell me, I will do my best and will never let you down!"
I noticed that your breakfast was not tasty this morning, otherwise I will order a few more dishes for you at noon, cook some chicken soup and a bowl of bird's nest to nourish you."
Mrs. Wang found Wang Ma's expression ridiculous. It turned out that if she gave this lowly maid a little money, she would change her expression.
She thought Nanny Wang was very loyal to her second brother, but it turned out that she didn't have enough bargaining chips.
But Mrs. Wang was unwilling to spend money before, so she was tortured by this lowly maid.
The reason she was able to give away the money now was only because she knew that Nanny Wang could not get it.
Mrs. Wang is comparable to Grandet, who would rather give up her life than her wealth.
Suffering is nothing; losing money is the most painful thing.
After Madam Wang gave Nanny Wang a promise, she began to instruct without any hesitation: "I am eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures in this Buddhist temple, so I don't need any special treatment.
But right now there is another matter that needs your attention.”
Hearing this, the bright smile on Nanny Wang's face instantly faded a little, and she secretly wondered if Madam Wang was deliberately trying to make things difficult for her.
However, all of this was seen by Mrs. Wang, and she naturally understood what Nanny Wang was thinking.
So he stopped beating around the bush and said directly, "Today I have arranged for Zhou Ruijia to supervise Baoyu's homework, but I am worried that she is too young and it will be difficult for her to suppress Baoyu's naughty temper.
So I'll have to trouble you to go and check on Baoyu for me and make sure he has finished copying all the calligraphy.
In addition, he needs to recite a few articles. When Baoyu has finished these lessons, come back and report to me."
When Nanny Wang heard this, she felt a lot more relieved.
I thought, isn’t this just taking care of a child going to school? How difficult can it be?
Although it was very likely that Mrs. Wang would leave the temple during her temporary absence, she did not care about it.
After all, the monk can run away but the temple cannot. Even if Mrs. Wang really came out of the temple to exercise or eat something secretly, so what?
Since she had obtained so many jewelry and 5000 taels of silver notes from Lady Wang, she would not make things too difficult for Lady Wang.
Besides, she hasn't received the 5000 taels of silver yet, so Mrs. Wang must be allowed to go back and get the money.
When Nanny Wang thought about it, she immediately agreed to Mrs. Wang's request with a smile on her face, and then trotted all the way to where Baoyu lived.
Mrs. Wang stared at Nanny Wang from behind with cold eyes, her eyes full of murderous intent.
