Aunt Chen is back from the world of cultivation

Chapter 161 The Censor’s wife is critically ill.

The only hostess, Old Madam Yuan, has been bedridden for quite some time because she caught a cold due to the sudden turn of weather.

When people get older, most of them cannot stand illness.

What's more, she had a cold, which is a very dangerous disease even for young people.

Even though she called the doctor to adjust the prescription every day, her condition did not improve much.

Seeing his wife lying drowsy on the bed, Censor Yuan didn't even want to go to the Inspection Office for report.

He had seen too many people who were originally healthy but died suddenly because of a cold.

He was afraid that his wife might be one of them.

He could accept the separation and death of other people, but he could not imagine the day when he came back from duty and she was no longer at home.

When she woke up early this morning, Old Madam Yuan finally felt a little better and had the strength to speak. She discovered that he had not been to the yamen for several days, so she immediately sent him there.

Seeing that his wife seemed to be getting better, Censor Yuan felt relieved and went to the yamen early in the morning to deal with the official business that had been piled up for several days.

Now he still doesn't take care of things, and there are not many official documents that require his attention.

After working for a whole morning, he finished processing the backlog of documents.

Thinking of his wife's recent poor appetite due to a cold, which made everything she ate taste bitter and greasy, he decided to get off work early and take a detour to the legendary Zhenbaozhai to buy two refreshing and appetizing snacks for his wife.

The name of this Zhenbaozhai restaurant is as its meaning. The dim sum here is more expensive than treasures. One or two taels of silver is only enough to buy one dim sum, but the dim sum is so delicious that you can't stop eating it.

Naturally, Censor Yuan and his wife had never eaten such expensive snacks.

He just happened to hear his subordinates gossiping before, saying that they bought snacks from Zhenbaozhai to please the sick concubine at home and whet her appetite, and he thought that the snacks must be suitable for patients to eat.

When I arrived at Zhenbaozhai, I found that there were quite a few people queuing.

Upon asking, I found out that many dim sum are made and sold on the spot, so you have to wait for quite a while.

Those experienced wealthy families all sent servants to line up, and there were not many people like Censor Yuan who came in person.

Although there were many people, the tempting aroma in the air made people salivate. Thinking that his wife would definitely have a good appetite after smelling the snacks, Censor Yuan waited with great pleasure.

"Grandpa, eat it while it's hot. The hotter it is, the better it tastes."

After waiting for more than an hour, the shop assistant handed over the snacks in a porcelain box and gave specific instructions.

Feeling the cold wind blowing on his face, Censor Yuan quickly put the exquisite porcelain box into his arms and covered it with his old cotton robe.

"Hurry, hurry, go home!"

He got on the carriage in a hurry and rushed home.

When I got home, it was already dark.

Censor Yuan took out the porcelain box he had been holding in his arms and walked towards his bedroom with a smile on his face.

As soon as I walked into the yard, I saw the old maid who served the lady approaching me with an anxious look on her face:

"Old Master, where have you been? We sent people to the Inspection Office to report the news but couldn't find you! The old lady vomited blood and fainted!"

Censor Yuan's head suddenly buzzed, and the porcelain box he had been holding suddenly fell to the ground, making a crisp breaking sound.

The precious snack fell to the ground, but he didn't care at all and ran quickly to the bedroom.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Old Madam Yuan lying on the bed with her eyes closed, her cheeks red, and her lips gray and cracked.

The old doctor who has been treating Madam Yuan is giving her acupuncture.

Censor Yuan asked quickly:

"Doctor, how is my wife doing?"

The doctor said with a sad face:

"The high fever won't go away. The old lady is old and in poor health. She just got irritated and vomited blood. I'm afraid the situation is not good."

Censor Yuan quickly pleaded with the doctor:

"Doctor, you must save my wife, no matter how much the consultation fee is!"

The doctor did not dare to agree, and only said:

"I will definitely try my best to reduce the old lady's fever, but whether it will work or not, we have to wait and see the effect after she takes the medicine."

"Then it's up to you."

Censor Yuan was in a state of confusion. It took him a while to remember to ask the nanny who was taking care of Old Madam Yuan:

"When I left home this morning, my wife was fine. How could she suddenly get so irritated that she vomited blood and passed out?"

The old maid who served Old Madam Yuan stepped forward and reported:

"At noon, Huayue from Miss Sun's place came over and said that Miss Sun had a miscarriage."

Censor Yuan frowned:

"Didn't you say before that Mo Niang's pregnancy was good?"

Since Mo Niang married into the Sun family, she and Sun Herong have been living in harmony. Just over a month after she got married, she was diagnosed with pregnancy.

Unfortunately, Sun Herong had to take part in the next spring imperial examination and had to go to Beijing early. Not long after she was diagnosed with pregnancy, she took a boat to Beijing.

Old Madam Yuan was worried that the Sun family was not taking good care of her, so she wanted to bring Mo Niang back to her house to take care of her, but Mo Niang refused.

She specially sent the old nanny next to her over, but Mo Niang's mother-in-law refused to accept her, saying that there were enough people in the family and she had experience and would be able to take good care of Mo Niang.

Old Madam Yuan couldn't force it, so she had to give up.

The old lady said:

"It was originally fine, but ever since the son-in-law came to Beijing, the in-law's wife often uses the excuse of having a headache or fever to ask Miss Sun to take care of her. Not only does she have to personally serve tea and water and stay up all night, she also always says unpleasant words and insults her."

"Our Miss Sun endured humiliation, but the in-laws always said to others that Miss Sun didn't know the sufferings of the world. She said how much trouble it was for her to teach a daughter-in-law from a wealthy family. She also said that Miss Sun was always rude to her mother-in-law and let the maids bully her with sour words."

"Miss Sun was depressed every day, but she refused to tell her family anything. She was also overworked, which led to her miscarriage."

As soon as Censor Yuan heard this, he understood what tricks the scheming woman from the Sun family was playing.

He didn't know why the woman tortured Mo Niang like that.

But she has a very good reputation outside, and with the pressure of filial piety, Mo Niang is completely at a disadvantage.

The lady had carefully selected and finally chose such a family for Mo Niang to be in love with, which was equivalent to sending her into the fire pit with her own hands. How could she not feel regretful and hurt and be greatly traumatized?

"This damned vicious woman!"

Censor Yuan was so angry that his veins popped out, but he couldn't spare the attention to deal with Mo Niang's affairs at the moment. He could only send a maid and a servant to the Sun family to take care of Mo Niang.

The medicine prescribed by the doctor was quickly boiled and brought over. Censor Yuan personally watched as Old Madam Yuan was fed a bowl of medicine, praying in his heart that the fever would go down.

However, after an hour, not only did Mrs. Yuan's fever not go down, but it got even hotter and hotter, and her whole body began to twitch.

"This...a high fever convulsion!"

The doctor was horrified and quickly gave her acupuncture to suppress the pain. It took a while for Madam Yuan to calm down.

Wiping the sweat off his head, the doctor said with regret:

"Sir, the old lady's illness has reached such a serious stage that no medicine can cure her. I am at my wits' end. Please seek help from someone else!"

Censor Yuan was suddenly struck by lightning.

This is the best doctor in Xinglin Chuntang, who is most skilled in treating colds. He spent a lot of money to invite him to treat his wife.

If this doctor can't do anything about his wife's illness, then she will just have to wait to die.

"Isn't it just a high fever? Give me some strong medicine to reduce the fever, it will definitely work!"

He subconsciously grabbed the doctor tightly and said anxiously.

The doctor explained with some fear:

"I have been treating the old lady for many days, and the medicines are getting stronger and stronger. Now I have even used acupuncture many times, but the fever still cannot be reduced. Instead, it is getting worse. I really have no other choice! I can only support her temporarily. My lord, please ask another doctor to come quickly, otherwise the convulsions will increase and the old lady may die at any time!"

Censor Yuan immediately let go of his hand dejectedly, looking blankly at his wife whose cheeks were flushed red as she lay on the bed.

The day his wife agreed to marry him, a farm boy, he swore to himself that after he passed the imperial examination, he would make sure his wife lived a life of luxury and lived a worry-free life!

But in fact, the lady had never had a good life in the decades she had been with him, always wandering around and living in fear.

When he was old, because of his insistence, he was unable to bless his descendants. Even his only granddaughter could not find a good marriage. Before his wife fell into a coma, she was still worried about Mo Niang.

If she died like this, she would probably die with her eyes open.

His wife didn't deserve to die in such pain!

He couldn't let his wife die!

Now, there is only one place where there is still a glimmer of hope -

He quickly made up his mind, ordered the servants to prepare the car, then walked to the bedside with a determined look on his face and carried his wife on his back with difficulty.

He wanted to take his wife to Cihang Temple to seek medicine.

No matter what the viewer wants, as long as he has it, he is willing to give it.

As long as she was willing to donate the magical dew that was said to be able to cure colds instantly to save his wife!
