Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

Chapter 167 The Old Lady is in a Coma

Old Madam Xu slept for a very long time. Even as the sky gradually darkened, she still did not wake up.

Xu Ruolan was extremely anxious and quickly sent someone to invite Doctor Meng.

The Xu family father and son also had solemn expressions. They knew very well that their wife (mother) had just recovered from a serious illness, but she had forced herself to travel for many days, which made it very likely that her old illness had relapsed.

Doctor Meng came very quickly, and Ye Miaoyin and her daughter came back with him. However, because they were not familiar with each other, they did not follow him to the East Courtyard.

In the main room of the east courtyard, Xu Ruolan saw the old man coming and hurriedly welcomed him in, "Doctor Meng, please help my mother take a look. She fell asleep in the afternoon and hasn't woken up yet."

Doctor Meng nodded, and stepped forward to check her pulse. After checking her pulse on both hands, he said, "The old lady has been depressed for many years, and her body has been worn down. Although her depression has been resolved, her foundation has been damaged. In addition, her body can hardly support the long journey. I will give her a few needles, and she will wake up soon. But if she wants to recover, it will be difficult to achieve in a short time."

The Xu family father and son were extremely surprised when they heard this. You know, the previous imperial physician had never said that it could be cured, but this old doctor actually...

The old man started to give acupuncture after he finished speaking. While waiting for the needle to be removed, Xu Mingzhe couldn't help but anxiously asked, "What do you mean, old man, is that there is still a chance that my mother's illness can be cured?"

Doctor Meng nodded when he heard this, "Of course you can, it just takes a little longer."

The Xu family father and son were very surprised. Xu Yiru asked excitedly, "May I ask who the old gentleman is?"

Liu Xu was about to introduce him, but Doctor Meng shook his head slightly and said, "He's just a country doctor, not worth mentioning!"

Liu Xu pursed her lips and asked, "Grandpa Meng, if you come to treat him, how long will it take? We will try our best to find any herbs you need!"

Doctor Meng stroked his beard and thought for a moment before saying, "Even for me, it would take at least half a year, and it could take several years."

"During this period, you need to calm down and cultivate yourself, and avoid big mood swings, so as not to trigger the old illness again. You must also eat a light and nourishing diet to nourish the spleen and stomach and promote the production of qi and blood. And you must exercise moderately to allow qi and blood to circulate slowly. By then, the decoction and my unique acupuncture method may help you get better faster."

Liu Xu nodded and stopped talking.

Judging from the expressions of grandpa and uncle, grandma's illness might not be cured in Beijing, but if she wants Grandpa Meng to treat her, she has to stay in Liujia Village, and she has no say in the decision.

A quarter of an hour later, Doctor Meng took out the silver needle. Everyone looked at the old man on the kang nervously.

Not long after, Old Madam Xu slowly woke up. Her eyes were still a little confused. She looked at the people around her and smiled weakly.

Xu Ruolan quickly held her mother's hand, tears in her eyes: "Mom, you scared your daughter to death."

Madam Xu patted her hands gently and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, your mother has woken up."

The Xu family father and son also breathed a sigh of relief and expressed their gratitude to Dr. Meng.

The old man still said "a doctor's duty", then wrote down the prescription, asked Liu Xu to send someone back with him to get the medicine, and then said goodbye.

Xu Mingzhe and Liu Xu followed to see them off.

After leaving the house, Xu Mingzhe bowed and said, "Mingzhe thanks you, old sir. May I ask, sir, if my mother's illness is only treated with the prescription, can it be cured?"

Doctor Meng shook his head. "One prescription won't work. Your mother's illness needs to be treated and observed at the same time. The prescription needs to be changed according to the situation. If you want to cure her, I suggest you keep the old lady in Liujia Village. First, I can diagnose her pulse and give her acupuncture at any time. Second, the environment here is more suitable for her to recuperate."

Seeing Xu Mingzhe's hesitation, he continued, "You must stay in Liujia Village for a while. I can give the old lady acupuncture every other day. If she decides to leave, I will prescribe a prescription for her. Although it cannot cure her, it can make her live longer than she does now."

"I need to discuss this matter with my parents. Please, sir, treat my mother temporarily!" He bowed again.

Doctor Meng nodded, then said goodbye and left. Xu Huairen followed him to get the medicine.

When they returned to the house, Old Madam Xu had already sat up. Although she looked a little weak, her complexion was much better than before.

"Yueyue, who is that old gentleman?" Xu Yiru asked.

"That's Doctor Meng from the village. He came here a few years ago. I don't know the details, but I know that Doctor Meng is very familiar with Xuer's master." Xu Ruolan did not lie. She really didn't know Doctor Meng's other identities because Liu Xu forgot what her mother told her.

"Baoer's master?" Both Xu's father and son were a little curious.

"Yes, it was Young Marquis Mu who found it for her." Xu Ruolan did not say much. Although she knew something, it was her daughter's business. Whether she should tell it or not depended on Xuer.

"Hiss!" The three members of the Xu family were extremely surprised and turned to look at Liu Xu.

Even though they already knew that they had a friendship with the young marquis, they didn't expect that the friendship had reached this level.

"Baoer, can you tell your uncle if there is anything else you know that we don't know?" Xu Mingzhe twitched his lips.

"Uh!" Seeing that there was no outsider in the room, Liu Xu looked at her mother inquiringly, and Xu Ruolan nodded slightly.

"Well, grandpa, grandma, and uncle, I told you that I have seen gods. Do you believe it?" Liu Xu asked weakly.

The three members of the Xu family opened their eyes wide, looking at Liu Xu and then at Xu Ruolan, trying to confirm whether they were hallucinating or whether this girl was fooling them.

Xu Ruolan sighed, "Let me tell you!"

There were many people in the morning, so some things were hard to talk about. So Xu Ruolan told the three members of the Xu family about the dream that Liu Xu had told her before, how they had pinned all these things on Xu's father, and how Liu Xu had cooperated with the Chang family and Mu Lingxuan.

The three of them were stunned and amazed, and in the end they didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"So, your father was used as a shield by you and your mother, and portrayed as a wise man with extensive experience and profound knowledge?" Xu Yiru pointed at himself and asked in disbelief.

Liu Xu and her mother nodded weakly.

Xu Yiru didn't know what to say about this...

He had traveled to many places when he was young, but he had never seen anything they talked about, except the barbecue! He had seen something similar in a certain tribe.

Xu Mingzhe looked at his shield father with sympathy, and was glad that he was young, otherwise he might have been cheated by his sister.

Madam Xu: "Amitabha, it's really God's blessing. If it weren't for the old immortal, I don't know what would have happened to our Baoer and Yueyue!"

Thinking of this, Madam Xu said to her daughter, "No, from tomorrow on, I will join you in burning one, no, three sticks of incense for the old immortal every day!"

Xu Yiru and his son: ...

"Baoer, tell grandpa what you are going to do? Let grandpa have a rough idea so that he won't be exposed later!" Xu Yiru asked, wiping the unnecessary sweat off his face.

Liu Xu tilted her head, "I haven't thought about it yet!"

The Xu family father and son only felt a slight pain in their foreheads for a moment.
