A farmer's daughter who traveled through time: Marrying a sickly man

Chapter 459 Arrangements for Patient Care

Soon, Marquis Wu'an carried Youyou into the house first.

"What happened? Wasn't everything fine before?" Marquis Wu'an walked in and asked in a stern voice.

"Doctor Cao said it was a stroke caused by liver qi stagnation." Shen Nian explained.

Xia Tian was afraid that Marquis Wu'an would think they were the reason for the old lady's anger, so he quickly added, "Dad, the prince and I came here to pay our respects to Grandmother. Grandmother probably saw the prince and thought of Fourth Brother, so she got angry and ended up saying Shen Ke was unfilial. Then, she became angry and suddenly acted like this."

Xia Tian decided to still put the blame on Shen Ke. After all, there was no one else in the room except Nanny Zhang and Mu Jin.

Moreover, if they confronted each other, she was indeed the one who brought up Shen Ke. Others would not know that she did it on purpose and would only think that the old lady had suffered a stroke because she was sad and depressed about Shen Ke.

Nanny Zhang looked at Xia Tian calmly without saying anything.

Marquis Wu'an knitted his brows together and asked in a cold tone, "What about Doctor Cao? Where is he?"

The old lady is like this, but no one has appeared yet.

"Doctor Cao went out to get medicine." Xia Tian quickly said again.

Youyou, who was in Marquis Wu'an's arms, saw Xia Tian and shouted, "Ah! Ah! Ah!" and reached out for her to hug him.

Marquis Wu'an handed Youyou to Shen Nian.

He walked forward and leaned over to look at the old lady. "Mother, how are you? Didn't I tell you all this long ago? That rebellious son Shen Ke is not worthy of being a member of our Shen family. He has been expelled from the clan and is no longer a member of our Shen family. How can you still take your anger out on the eldest brother?"

Marquis Wu'an thought that they couldn't have mentioned Shen Ke for no reason. It must be that his mother took her anger out on Shen Nian because of Shen Ke.

Ever since he saw Shen Ke's true character, he could understand Shen Nian's previous actions. Moreover, although he, as the boss, had fought back before, he was still relatively kind and always left Shen Ke a way to survive.

So this time it must have been his mother who started it.

Originally, Xia Tian was worried that Marquis Wu'an would suspect that they had made the old lady sick and would get angry.

I didn’t expect that Marquis Wu’an would automatically imagine it!

Now they don’t even need to explain!

The old lady was already so angry that she couldn't move or speak because of what happened in the previous summer.

Now she was even more furious when she heard that her own son was actually blaming her.

The old lady waved her left hand, which was able to move, and grabbed the clothes on Wu'an Hou's chest with all her strength. She made a whining sound and her eyes were full of anger.

Seeing her mother still acting like this even now, Wu Anhou became even more unhappy. "Mother, please calm down for a while. You not only have Shen Ke as your grandson, but also Shen Nian and Shen Rui. They are all your grandsons."

Marquis Wu'an thought that the old lady still couldn't let go of Shen Ke, and still blamed him for driving Shen Ke out of the house, so she was angry.

But Xia Tian knew very well that the old lady was accusing her to Marquis Wu'an. Unfortunately, she could not speak, so naturally others could not understand what she meant.

Xia Tian breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this matter would no longer be blamed on them.

Not long after Marquis Wu'an came in, the second master and his wife, the third master and his wife, and some grandsons, granddaughters, and grandsons' wives all got the news and rushed over.

"Oh, what happened?" The third lady looked distressed and came over to look at the old lady.

"I thought of Shen Ke and had a stroke because I was angry." Xia Tian answered the doubts of the people in the room.

"Oh, what should we do?" The Third Lady stamped her feet. "Shen Ke is such a plague! He's disappeared, and he even caused my mother to have a stroke and become paralyzed."

The Third Madam saw that the old lady kept opening and closing her mouth but could not utter a word, so she asked in confusion, "Mother can't speak anymore?"

Xia Tian nodded silently.

"Oh, mother, what should we do?" The third lady grabbed the old lady's trembling left hand and began to cry.

It was as if the old lady was dead!

Although the old lady had suffered a stroke, she understood everything in her heart. Looking at the third daughter-in-law lying on her and crying, she kept cursing "idiot!" in her heart.

This idiot, she just had a stroke, she's not dead, what's all this noise?

No brains at all!

And all the children in this room actually believed what that dead girl said. When did they become sick because of Shen Ke's anger?

The old lady closed her eyes, not wanting to see these idiots again!

The others expressed their concern for her, and seeing that the old lady had closed her eyes, they thought she was tired and left.

Only Marquis Wu'an, the second master and his wife, the third master and his wife, and Shen Nianxia and his wife stayed in the house.

The old lady is ill, so someone must be arranged to take care of her.

"Second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, I'm going to trouble you to take care of me during this period." Wu Anhou said, "Also, I'm going to trouble you to take care of the housekeeping matters. I really can't help it."

"I know, brother!"

The second wife also knew that she would have to take responsibility for this matter, so she agreed without hesitation.

Originally, since Liu was no longer around, the affairs should have been handed over to Xia Tian, the Crown Prince's wife, but she knew that Xia Tian would not be able to stay for long, and the Marquis' Mansion could not be left without a housekeeper.

As for taking care of the sick, it was the daughter-in-law's job, and she and the third lady could not refuse.

After the tasks were divided, several people came out first.

Marquis Wu'an called Shen Nian away.

Xia Tian took Youyou and returned to Jinglan Garden first.

Although the old lady was ill, the second lady still prepared several tables of wine and food to welcome Shen Nian and Xia Tian in the evening.

"Aunt, thank you today!" Xia Tian thanked sincerely.

She didn't expect that even after all this, the Second Madam would still arrange a welcome dinner for them!

"It's all as it should be." The Second Madam smiled. "You just came in today, and I didn't expect the old lady to fall ill. It's really a coincidence."

Xia Tian sighed, "That's right! If someone didn't know the reason, they would think that the old lady and I were incompatible!"

Before the welcoming ceremony, Xia Tian asked Ningxiang to find a reliable maid and spread the news in the mansion that the old lady's illness was caused by Shen Ke.

To prevent people who don’t know the truth from associating her with Shen Nian.

"No, don't worry! No one dares to spread it." The Second Madam asked her to relax.

Since she was in charge of the household, she naturally would not allow such news that was detrimental to Xia Tian and his wife to spread.

In the evening, Xia Tian packed up some good things she had brought with her, took Ningxiang with her, and personally delivered them to the Second Madam.

Gifts were also sent to the third lady.

After all, the third lady also sent gifts when Youyou was one month old.

And she also clearly felt that the Third Lady had become much closer to her.

Since the other party has shown goodwill, she will not refuse.

In this mansion, we must win over anyone we can.

After all, the Wu'an Marquis Mansion will be inherited by them in the future.

Family members are always better than outsiders.

The next day, Shen Nian went to the palace to report to the emperor.

In the afternoon, Doctor Xu was invited to see the old lady.

Unfortunately, Doctor Xu had no good solution. After looking at the prescription written by Doctor Cao and finding no problem, he told the patient to continue taking the medicine.

I also told Dr. Cao that I could try acupuncture every three days, along with the treatment, to see if it could alleviate the symptoms.

It is impossible to completely restore it to its original state.

After Marquis Wu'an and Shen Nian sent Doctor Xu away, they told Nanny Zhang and the others to take good care of him, and then left.
