I am a miracle doctor in Dream of the Red Chamber

Chapter 18 Using Grandmother Jia to Punish Jia Rui and Feng Jie

In order to cure Jia Rui, the pervert, and to persuade Wang Xifeng to abandon her evil ways and do good, An Wuxia had to take into account Daiyu's eagerness to return to Yangzhou to visit and serve her father, so she had to use direct and effective methods.

She directly found Baoyu and Daiyu and asked them to cooperate in implementing the plan. She explained the matter to them. What was rare was that Baoyu and Daiyu trusted her very much.

So Baoyu directly told Jia's mother about Jia Rui's teasing of Feng Jieer, saying that Feng Jieer had only frozen him for one night two nights ago for the sake of the family's reputation.

He had not given up yet, so tonight he asked Jia Qiang and Jia Rong to come and blackmail him to see if he would change his lustful heart. When Baoyu first said this, Jia's mother did not believe it. Baoyu said that if the grandmother did not believe it, then she could come tonight and watch the show.

That night, after everything happened, Grandmother Jia pretended to be ignorant of the matter and ordered people to kidnap Jia Rui, Jia Qiang and Jia Rong. The old lady then let them explain the situation themselves.

At first, the three of them denied it, saying that they had drunk too much at a small gathering among the uncles, nephews and brothers in the clan, and walked here in a daze. Jia's mother was a shrewd and experienced person. After she ordered people to search Jia Rong and Jia Qiang, they found a contract of fifty taels each on their bodies, and both were signed by Jia Rui.

Jia Mu pretended to punish them for gambling, and each of them was beaten with thirty sticks and sent to the farm to work hard. They were not allowed to come back without permission. Those who were willing to tell the truth could be given a lighter sentence. For a moment, the three were frightened by Jia Mu's majesty, and they trembled and told the truth. This was good, Jia Mu called all the families of Ning and Rong mansions over.

Even Jia Zhen, who was lying limp on the bed, and Qin Keqing, who had not yet recovered from her illness, had to be carried over in a sedan chair. Everyone gathered their breaths and dared not even breathe, and the room was filled with people kneeling.

Jia's mother was usually kind and charitable, and she was very clear about this matter. However, she severely reprimanded these unworthy descendants. She sent Jia Rui to work in the farm outside the pass and experience the hardship of farming and barely making a living. He could not return to the capital without permission.

By the way, he also dismissed Jia Rui's grandfather Jia Dairu from his position as the manager of the private school, and granted him some fertile land and a mansion on the farm, as well as a pension, so that the old couple could live outside the Great Wall with their grandson Jia Rui.

Jia Rong was originally the great-great-grandson of Ningguo Mansion. As his parents died early, he was raised by Jia Zhen and had a good relationship with Jia Rong. As Jia Zhen and Qin Keqing were both ill, Ning Mansion needed someone to take care of them, so Jia Rong and Jia Rong were punished to reflect on their mistakes at home, and the money they extorted from Jia Rui was not counted. After Jia Zhen and Qin Keqing recovered from their illness, they both went to the farm outside the Great Wall to endure hardships and exercise.

Wang Xifeng was temporarily removed from her position as the housekeeper of Rongfu, and Li Wan took over as her replacement. She was fined the monthly salary from September to November, and the high-interest loans she had previously made with the monthly salary were confiscated and handed over to Jia's mother, along with the principal and interest.

At the same time, Wang Xifeng was severely admonished: if she encounters any problems in the future, she can report them to the madam and the old lady in time, and they will make the decision for her. She does not need to act on her own and use vicious means to harm others. She is expected to do more good deeds in the future and not rely on vicious means to establish her authority.

Even though Grandmother Jia had not been in charge of the household for many years, she was still experienced and was fully aware of the situation in the Ning and Rong mansions. She just turned a blind eye to it and ignored it unless something serious happened. Unexpectedly, these prodigal sons did not know how to restrain themselves, so she took this opportunity to make an example of them and discipline them.

After this incident, the entire Ning and Rong mansions became temporarily quiet. The Jia family's private school was first managed by Jia Zheng, and a suitable candidate would take over when one was found.

Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai heard about this in Lixiang Courtyard, and they were secretly thinking: "Xue Pan's lawsuit could have been completely resolved by relying on the connections of the Rong Mansion", but in the end he could only be exiled for a year. I heard that the girl from the Lin family was originally sickly and weak, but now she is just thinner, and has a light and graceful charm, without any sign of illness. Baoyu was originally a naughty child who was attached to his sisters, but now he knows how to study hard. Now the old lady has started to clean up the Ning and Rong mansions again... It seems that this matter is becoming more and more unpredictable!"

After all these matters were settled, it was already the second day of the twelfth lunar month. The old lady ordered Jia Lian to accompany Lin Daiyu back to Yangzhou to visit the seriously ill Lin Ruhai. An Wuxia, Xueyan and Nanny Wang also volunteered to accompany them to Yangzhou.

After traveling day and night by boat and car, Lin Daiyu saw her sick father on the 21st day of the twelfth lunar month.

After Lin Ruhai comforted Lin Daiyu, he signaled the others to leave and let An Wuxia stay alone to check his pulse. "Miss An, why don't you just tell me, how much time do I have left?!"

An Wuxia did not dare to hide her illness. "In my opinion, you are just like Queen Chen, you are both seriously poisoned."

Lin Ruhai knew clearly what kind of poison it was.

An Wuxia answered truthfully: "Based on the pulse, it is an extremely cold water-based poison, and the toxicity is long-lasting and strong."

Lin Ruhai was weak and anxious, "Is there any antidote?"

An Wuxia secretly sweated and said calmly: "Let me think about it and prescribe a prescription for you later."

Lin Ruhai asked directly: "Miss An, how confident are you that you can detoxify?!"

Not to mention that An Wuxia was still young and had limited experience. Based on the pulse, this poison was definitely not ordinary, but she couldn't just stand by and watch him die. So she comforted Lin Ruhai and said, "After I have checked the medical books and studied them thoroughly, I will naturally tell you the extent of your condition. Please wait."

Lin Ruhai said very weakly but hopefully: "Okay, then I'll wait for good news from Miss An."

An Wuxia returned to her room and could not wait to open the 'Ren Miao Hu Cup' medical space station. Because when she felt Lin Ruhai's pulse, she secretly turned on the 'diagnosis and prescription' function of the space station. At this moment, she opened it and saw that her inference based on the pulse condition was the same as the test results of the space station.

The system showed that Lin Ruhai was poisoned by the 'Blue Stone Water Heart'. The so-called 'Blue Stone Water Heart' are all creatures from the ocean - blue-ringed octopus, stone fish, box jellyfish and cone snails. These four marine creatures are all highly toxic, and the toxicity is extremely strong, which can kill a person in an instant.

The reason why Queen Chen and Lin Ruhai did not die immediately was that the poison of these four creatures was refined and condensed by specialized poison refiners, who reduced the proportion of the original ingredients and deliberately condensed them into a long-lasting cold poison.

Not to mention the medical skills of the time when Dream of the Red Chamber was written, even with modern medical technology, scientists have not yet completely developed a good medicine to detoxify. However, this space system is a medical treasure from a thousand years later, and its medical development is many times higher than that of modern times.

According to the system records, if you want to detoxify the 'Blue Stone Water Heart', the first method is to fight poison with poison, and the second method is to use the 'Millennium Snow Poison Pill' to completely detoxify.

An Wuxia breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. Since there was a way to detoxify, it would be much easier. He just needed to follow the method to detoxify.

However, she couldn't help but worry again. Since it was a rare and severe water-cold poison, the detoxification method must be extremely difficult.
