There was a trace of anxiety on Wen Liang's face, "Qingqing, I..." Wen Liang stammered and rubbed his hands, as if he was a little embarrassed.
"There's no one here, so just say whatever you want to say. Is it because you bought me a house that the princess knows it's hard for you?"
"No, it's your grandmother. She had a stroke last night. We've asked the imperial physician to see her. She couldn't take any medicine or acupuncture, and she's been in a coma. Dad remembered that you know medicine and can even cure diseases like your mother's, so..."
Wen Qingcheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh, Dad wants me to treat your stepmother. There's nothing to be embarrassed about."
Wen Liang laughed dryly. If it was just about treating a disease, it wouldn't be that difficult. The key was that he hadn't told his family about Wen Qingcheng yet. So when Wen Qingcheng came into the house, she could only be a female folk doctor and couldn't call him dad for now.
Wen Qingcheng was so smart that she knew Wen Liang's difficulty after seeing his expression. "Dad, the old lady is ill now. To avoid unnecessary trouble, you should call me Doctor Wen when I go to the Marquis' Mansion to see a doctor."
When Wen Liang heard Wen Qingcheng say that, he felt even more guilty towards his daughter. She was obviously the eldest daughter born to his first wife, but he could not even recognize her. It was really unfair to his Qingcheng.
"Qingqing, Dad is sorry for you."
"No need to say more. I understand you. We are a family and we don't need to worry about so much. Wait for me for a moment. I'll comb my hair, pick up the medicine box and go."
Wen Qingcheng didn't wait for Wen Liang to say anything else and went back to her room. Within two minutes, she had tied her hair into a bun with a hairpin and came out carrying a medicine box.
After getting on the carriage and driving on the street for a while, they arrived at the Marquis' Mansion. The gatekeeper saw Wen Liang in the carriage and bowed respectfully. Wen Qingcheng took the carriage into the Marquis' Mansion and got off in front of the main hall. In the corridors and gardens, maids and servants could be seen shuttling back and forth.
Wen Liang led Wen Qingcheng into the old lady's courtyard, Lixiang Courtyard. They felt the tranquility as soon as they entered. The courtyard was not big, with more than a dozen rooms. There was also a corner door on the east side, leading to an alley. As for which courtyard it led to, it was unknown.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, an old woman in her sixties with half-white hair came up to him with a few maids, "My Lord, you are back. Is this the miracle doctor?"
The old nanny quickly looked Wen Qingcheng up and down. She was wearing a brocade dress embroidered with moonlight and a silver hairpin on her head. She looked low-key yet gorgeous. She was about sixteen or seventeen years old. Her temperament was cool and elegant. She didn't look like a miracle doctor, but more like a young lady.
Wen Liang responded calmly, "This is the miracle doctor. What are you still standing there for? Take the miracle doctor to see the old lady."
The old nanny smiled with a fake smile, "My Lord, this is probably not appropriate. The old lady is a daughter, and even the imperial physician Sun in the palace is helpless. What's more, this miracle doctor is so young, we can't be careless when it comes to treating her."
Wen Qingcheng didn't get angry when she saw that she didn't believe her. After all, it was rare for someone of her age to be able to treat illnesses independently. She turned to look at Wen Liang.
"Will I harm my mother? If I delay the divine doctor's treatment, will you bear the consequences? Lead the way." Wen Liang didn't want Wen Qingcheng to suffer any injustice. He already felt guilty towards Wen Qingcheng, and couldn't stand the people in the mansion questioning her. Normally, he was very polite to the maids around the old lady.
The old nanny saw that the usually mild-tempered Marquis got angry and scolded her in front of so many little maids. Her face turned blue and red. She didn't dare to say anything more and led Wen Qingcheng through the hall and into the inner room.
"Qingqing, just go for it. No one will blame you whether you can cure it or not." Wen Liang whispered.
Wen Qingcheng nodded and followed the nanny into the old lady's bedroom. The bedroom was warm and cozy, with three beautiful maids standing in it. When they saw Wen Qingcheng coming in, they automatically made way for her. One of the maids took Wen Qingcheng to the old lady's bedside.
Wen Qingcheng put down the medicine box and saw an old lady in a sky-blue satin nightgown lying on the bed, with a golden embroidered hairpin on her forehead. This was Wen Liang's stepmother, the one who persecuted the illegitimate son in the Marquis' Mansion. When Wen Liang's mother became pregnant, she was afraid of being persecuted, so she fled at all costs. After giving birth to Wen Liang, she died of suffocation. Before she died, she entrusted Wen Liang to a peddler named Wen.
This old lady had been domineering since she was young and had no children in her life. When the Marquis was critically ill and had no direct blood relative to inherit the title, and she was unwilling to choose from the second and third wives, she thought of Wen Liang's mother who had escaped. After tracking her down for nearly a year, Wen Liang was found by accident and inherited the title of Marquis.
According to Wen Liang, the old lady had already repented, chanted Buddhist scriptures every day, and was quite nice to Wen Liang. Wen Qingcheng had neither love nor hatred for her, and just treated her as an ordinary patient. Wen Qingcheng took out the pulse pillow, took the old lady's pulse, and after another basic examination, asked: "When did the old lady become comatose? Did she fall or have any other abnormalities before she became comatose?"
Mingzhu, the head maid, said, "Yesterday at 12:00 p.m., our old lady had an argument with the Madam. She got angry and fell down and never woke up again."
Wen Qingcheng had a rough idea of the situation in this marquis's mansion. The marquis's wife was a princess who had always been arrogant and domineering. She married Wen Liang for the second time and brought her sixteen-year-old daughter with her. She always had the final say in the mansion and often confronted the equally strong old lady.
The old lady had personally chosen this daughter-in-law, hoping that by marrying into the Princess's mansion, it would also pave the way for Wen Liang in the court. When they first got married, Wen Liang was kind and gentle, and the couple treated each other with respect. Later, the Princess's mother, Princess Liyang, often interfered, causing more and more conflicts between Wen Liang and the Princess. The Princess also became more and more domineering, and often clashed with the old lady.
"The old lady suffered an embolism caused by cerebral hemorrhage, which is why she has been in a coma. If she is not treated, her life will be in danger."
"Qing..." Wen Liang quickly changed his words, "Doctor Wen, please treat me quickly."
Wen Qingcheng nodded and told the maid to undress the old lady. She wanted to use silver needles to open up her meridians first, and then give her medicine after she woke up.
When Wen Liang heard that he had to take off his clothes, he left on his own accord. Wen Qingcheng began to give acupuncture, and when the 26th needle was inserted, the old lady woke up. Mingzhu was overjoyed, "The old lady woke up, that's great."
Wen Qingcheng asked to go to the study, closed the door, took out the books from the space, looked up the prescription, prescribed a medicine to open the mind and wake the spirit, gave it to the maid Mingzhu, and explained the method of decocting and taking it, and then prepared to leave.
In the case of the old lady, further treatment was needed. Wen Liang ordered his servants to withdraw money from the account to Wen Qingcheng, and then pulled Wen Qingcheng aside and stuffed silver into her small bag. Wen Liang bought a house for Wen Qingcheng and gave her fifty taels of pocket money before. The medical fee this time had already been withdrawn from the account of the Marquis' Mansion. Now he gave it to her again, so Wen Qingcheng naturally didn't want to accept it.
