Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

Du Wenxiu was shocked and asked hurriedly, "Have you sent someone to invite Madam Cheng?"

Ah Luo said, "I have sent Qiuyue to call him, but judging from his rapid illness, he looks very dangerous."

"Aunt, go and boil some hot water. I'm afraid Madam Cheng will need it soon. I'll go and take a look."

Du Wenxiu made the arrangements calmly, and A Luo also calmed down and turned to go out to boil water.

Du Wenxiu turned around and glanced at Lu Erniang, and seeing that she also looked anxious, he said:

"Just lie still. I'll go to the front to check on Erlang." After a pause, he continued, "Madam Cheng's medical skills are very good. Don't worry."

Lu Er Niang on the bed nodded slightly. Du Wenxiu walked out of the door, paused slightly, and then locked the door of the main room.

When Du Wenxiu arrived, A Luo was feeding him water. He went forward to check on Erlang's condition and Du Wenxiu was shocked.

Erlang's forehead was burning, his face was red, and there were blisters at the corners of his mouth.

"Why did it suddenly happen again?" Du Wenxiu asked anxiously.

A Luo shook his head. Wasn't it said that the child would recover quickly after Cheng Suying's treatment?

Fortunately, Cheng Suying arrived soon. Seeing Erlang's condition, she said anxiously:

"This child must not have taken the medicine properly. The original root of the disease has not been cured. Maybe he caught a cold in the cool night and his weak constitution could not bear it, so he has a fever again."

After hearing this, Du Wenxiu didn't dare to say anything.

Why didn't Erlang take the medicine properly? It was because she had too many things to do and forgot about it.

Listening to Cheng Suying's endless complaints, Du Wenxiu didn't dare to say a word.

Cheng Suying turned around and noticed her abnormal behavior. She guessed what was going on and stopped talking about it. She focused on giving Erlang acupuncture treatment.

After a while of busyness, Erlang fell into a deep sleep. Cheng Suying stopped and turned to look at her seriously and said:

"This child is weak from the beginning. I think he was born with this weakness. Now we can't delay it any longer. I'll ask my younger sister to come live with us and make medicine for him every day so that you won't be too busy to take care of him."

Du Wenxiu felt full of guilt and said that he would not be careless this time. Cheng Suying sighed and said:

"In the workshop, in the restaurant, at home, is there anything that doesn't require your concern? It's such a small matter, it seems too serious to entrust it to someone else, but I can't just ignore it."

"Fortunately, my little sister has learned some basic medical knowledge from me. I can't leave my family alone and have to see patients every day. There is only one of her here, so she can take care of it."

"I just want to trouble Madam Du to take care of my little sister. I know you are thoughtful, so I won't ask you any more. There is a patient in the pharmacy. I will leave first and call her later."

After saying that, he turned around and left without waiting for Du Wenxiu's consent. It can be seen that the pharmacy really needs people recently.

Du Wenxiu looked at Erlang with great guilt, and a trace of sadness rose in his heart.

He is still a child. He left his hometown and earned half his life because of the power struggle, but he must not lose his life here.

She discussed with A'luo that when Cheng Xiaomei came, she would be placed in the east wing of Du Wenchan, where there was a low couch.

A Luo has no objection.

"I think Chan'er will not refuse." She said with a smile.

A Luo ordered the male servant to help Erlang undress and wipe his body according to Cheng Suying's instructions. In a blink of an eye, he saw Du Wenxiu returning to the main room, so he followed him back.

After unlocking the door and entering the inner room, Du Wenxiu told the family everything about Erlang's situation and readily admitted that he had not taken good care of the child.

Unexpectedly, Lu Erniang smiled and said, "It's okay, this is an old problem. It's a problem he has had since he was a baby. Many doctors have been unable to cure it, but we can treat it with some fever-reducing methods."

"It's my fault that I left in a hurry and didn't explain it to you clearly. This royal child is really hard to serve."

Du Wenxiu finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's also my fault that I forgot to take it when I left the pharmacy. Otherwise, if I had told someone to do it, someone would have remembered to make it for him every day."

"It doesn't matter. This can only cure the root cause, not the symptoms. There is no other way except to take good care of him. Unfortunately, he is on the run now, and it is only slightly better to stay with you."

Lu Erniang couldn't help but sigh, and when she glanced, she saw a figure flash past outside the window. She immediately shut her mouth and signaled Du Wenxiu with her eyes.

Du Wenxiu approached the window gently and suddenly opened the lattice fan, only to see A Luo's frightened face in front of him.

It seems that she must have heard it.

Du Wenxiu pursed her lips and waved to A Luo.

A Luo walked into the main room in a daze. When he lifted the curtain, he saw Du Wenxiu sitting in front of the window and a strange woman lying on the bed.

Du Wenxiu stood up, grabbed her, and brought her to Lu Er Niang.

"Aunt, this is the person who works with Fang Hai, her name is Lu Er Niang." Du Wenxiu said softly.

The surprise in A Luo's eyes became even brighter: "He is not..."

"Fang Hai is not dead. He just pretended to be dead to avoid being seen because he was doing some private things for the emperor."

A Luo and Du Wenchan didn't know the inside story of Lu Fanghai's fake death, so Du Wenxiu made up a story to cover up the truth.

A Luo couldn't figure it out either. Are the people working together from the capital?

"Is there any explanation for Fang Hai's matter?" A Luo couldn't help but make wild guesses.

Du Wenxiu pretended to nod and didn't explain.

"Aunt, this lady was injured while investigating Fang Hai's case and is recuperating in our house. Since you saw it, this matter should only be known between the two of us and should not be heard by anyone else."

Du Wenxiu's detailed instructions made A Luo nervous.

"Don't tell Chan'er and Sanniang?" she asked in a low voice.

Du Wenxiu also lowered her voice and almost whispered in her ear:

"Yes, you can't tell anyone. This matter must be kept secret."

Ah Luo looked at her solemnly, then glanced at Lu Er Niang, and nodded solemnly:

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Don't lock the door when you go out next time. I'll watch over it for you and don't let anyone in."

Du Wenxiu suddenly realized that it was because he locked the door that A Luo became suspicious, so he came to the window while packing up.

She smiled slightly and nodded, then led A Luo up to introduce himself to Lu Er Niang.

Even with the help of Yuanxi and Liu Qiaohua, A Luo was still busy in the kitchen.

A Luo went out to do something, saying that the food would be brought over soon, and asked Du Wenxiu not to go and bring it.

"One person's meal won't fill you up, and two people's meal will arouse suspicion. It would be better if I were full and then bring two people's meal to share with you."

Du Wenxiu liked her meticulousness. If Lu Fanghai was still alive, there couldn't be any mistakes. She was unwilling to hide it from her family.

Cheng Xiaomei and Du Wenchan went home together and packed a very heavy medicine box. If Du Wenchan hadn't helped, she would not have been able to carry it by herself.

After hurriedly eating a few mouthfuls of rice, Cheng Xiaomei went to the kitchen to boil some medicine and brought it to the front yard.

A'Luo brought the food over, and to avoid arousing suspicion, he watched them eat in the inner room.

In the courtyard, Qi Sanniang shouted, "Why are the windows still closed in such hot weather?"

"I had a stomachache last night and was afraid of catching a cold. I haven't wanted to open the window these days. Aunt, please don't worry." Du Wenxiu also answered loudly.
