The Peasant Wife: The Prime Minister's Beloved

She walked towards Xie Tianyi, only to see the two little guys snuggling up to him, their little faces full of desire, their eyes closely following every wave of Xie Tianyi's fingers.

"I'm back!" Chen Xi's voice interrupted this quiet and beautiful reading time, bringing more laughter to this small family.

"Mom, there are candies!" Xiao Chen has sharp eyes and immediately spotted the sweet temptation in his mother's hand. His excitement was beyond words.

"Go ahead and share it with your brother, half each."

Xiaochen nodded obediently, carefully holding the candies and walked to the bed. The two brothers took turns to take one.

"I bought this paper specially for you. See if you like it." Xie Tianyi took the paper gently, as if treating a treasure, and placed it on the table with gratitude in his eyes.

"By the way, there is also this brush, which is a gift for you." Chen Xi handed over an exquisite brush. Xie Tianyi knew at a glance that it was very valuable, and there was both surprise and doubt in his eyes.

"This is quite expensive, right?" Xie Tianyi's eyes fell on Chen Xi gently, full of inquiry.

"It's okay. It seems like it's time to replace your old pen. I picked it out when I bought the paper. Just use it." Chen Xi's tone was relaxed, but it was full of concern.

Hearing this, Xie Tianyi no longer refused and just said "thank you" softly.

His voice was gentle, and it sent a warm current through her heart, and she was speechless for a moment.

"No, you're welcome." Chen Xi stuttered a little, feeling secretly annoyed in her heart. She was just moved by his gentle voice, so why did she lose her composure like this?

Slightly embarrassed, she said a few words to the children in a hurry, then slipped out of the door on the pretext of something. However, she did not expect that her peaceful life would always be disrupted by unexpected changes.

"Doctor Chen, Doctor Chen!" Outside the door, the servant of Fang Yuanwai's family called anxiously, and Chen Xi recognized the person at a glance.

"What happened?" Her heart tightened. She had just given Mrs. Fang an acupuncture injection in the afternoon. Logically, the next treatment should be in two days. Why was it so urgent?

"Chen Xi, please come with me quickly. My wife accidentally fell into the water and is now trembling all over and sweating. Please go and save her." The servant's words were full of urgency and pleading.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xi immediately picked up the medicine box and followed the servant to hurriedly board the carriage that had been prepared.

Upon seeing this, Fang Wenfu also quickly asked to go together, and Chen Xi naturally agreed. The two of them could fight side by side and support each other better.

"My master and I may be late. Xie Tianyi, please take good care of the children and don't worry about me." Before leaving, she said this and the carriage sped away.

"Dad, is Mom okay?" Xiaoyang looked at his father worriedly, his eyes full of anxiety.

"No, mother is just going there to cure illnesses and save lives. Besides, Grandpa Xiao is here too, so everything will be fine." Xie Tianyi tried his best to comfort the children, but his heart was difficult to calm down, so the teaching was interrupted.

"Tell me the details." Chen Xi asked the servant in the carriage, her tone calm and professional. She needed to know everything so that she could prepare a response plan in advance.

"The lady was basking in the sun in the courtyard, but she fell asleep..." The servant began to narrate what happened, and Chen Xi listened attentively.

"The master specifically told us not to disturb her, and by the time we noticed, the lady had already accidentally fallen into the quiet pond."

"Doctor Chen, you said that treatment at this stage is particularly critical. Madam, is there still a chance of survival after falling into the water?"

Everyone in the mansion knows about Mr. Fang's deep affection for his wife.

The lady was also kind and generous to her servants, and her safety was closely related to everyone's heart.

"I have to see it with my own eyes and diagnose it with my own hands before I can make a definitive diagnosis. Just concentrate on driving." Doctor Chen said firmly.

As soon as the carriage came to a steady stop in front of the vermilion gate of the Fang residence, the curtain was hastily opened by anxious hands.

"Doctor Chen, please take a quick look at my wife's condition." The person who spoke was Mr. Fang, who was extremely anxious and had a haggard face.

Chen Xi walked up the stairs with steady steps, followed closely by his master Fang Wenfu, the two figures intertwined.

As they walked, Mr. Fang's eyes inadvertently passed by Fang Wenfu, and he became curious, so he asked, "Who is this extraordinary gentleman?"

"My respected teacher." Chen Xi spoke briefly and to the point, with a hint of pride in his answer.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Fang immediately put on a smile and bowed respectfully, saying, "So it's you, Master. I'm so sorry for not recognizing you."

As soon as I stepped into the mansion, a warm breath hit me in the face, dispelling the coldness outside.

"My wife has been complaining about feeling cold recently, so I moved the stove for heating in winter into the room." Master Fang explained as he led the way.

Chen Xi carried a heavy medicine box and quickly came to Madam Fang's bedside and carefully felt her pulse.

I saw that his brows were slightly frowned and his expression was solemn.

The situation was not good. After the lady fell into the water, the cold and dampness in her body had invaded deeply. It was obvious that she had been soaked in the cold pool water for a long time.

He quickly took out five silver needles that were shining with cold light from the medicine box, and with skillful and accurate movements, he inserted them into several key acupuncture points on Mrs. Fang's head.

Soon, Mrs. Fang's trembling gradually subsided, but the chill that penetrated deep into her bones seemed not to have completely dissipated.

"Doctor Chen, no matter what method you use, please save my wife. I beg you." Mr. Fang looked at his unconscious wife, his eyes full of anxiety and almost crying.

"Angelica dahurica, cinnamon twig, schizonepeta tenuifolia, scallion, go to the pharmacy and get the medicine quickly." Chen Xi ordered in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, the servant hurriedly took out a pen and paper, wrote down everything, and then ran to the pharmacy on the corner.

"Is this... the cold air going straight into the internal organs?" Fang Wenfu asked softly, with a trace of worry flashing between his brows.

"That's right. At this critical moment of treatment, Madam encountered such misfortune." Chen Xi sighed, his words full of regret.

Fang Wenfu shook his head gently, and the silent sigh made Mr. Fang's face turn pale instantly.

"Master Fang, what do you mean by shaking your head? My wife can still be saved, right?"

Mr. Fang tightly grasped Fang Wenfu's arm, his voice trembling with an undisguised tremor.

"There is hope, there is hope. It's just that the follow-up treatment may be a little painful, but please rest assured, everything will be fine." Fang Wenfu comforted.

At this time, the servant had hurried back with medicinal herbs in his hands, and Master Fang immediately ordered people to start decocting the medicine.

Mrs. Fang's condition was still critical. Chen Xi handed over an exquisite porcelain bottle and told the servant who was decocting the medicine: "When decocting the medicine, remember to add the spiritual spring water in this bottle."

The servant quickly took the porcelain bottle, nodded in agreement, and followed the instructions strictly.

Mr. Fang stayed by his wife's side all the time and bought her a thick quilt in the hope of adding a little warmth to her.

"Please be at ease, Master Fang. Madam's condition will definitely improve after taking this medicine." Chen Xi's voice was gentle but firm.
