Red Mansion, Ningfu Scholarly Family

Chapter 54 Madam, the medicine is here.

……

"Who will accompany me?"

In fact, Baochai hadn't finished her words yet, there was more to come.

It was only interrupted by shouting from outside the yard.

"It's not good, it's not good!"

The sound was so heart-wrenching that it could be heard from far away.

Baochai's heart skipped a beat.

Although the voice was somewhat distorted due to the roar, she could still faintly recognize it - it was the servant beside Xue Pan, Dou'er!

inside.

Grandmother Jia sat at the top.

Aunt Xue and Lady Wang sat next to each other, and Li Wan and Sister Feng served them. As it was not yet time for dinner, everyone drank tea and chatted about family matters.

Just now, Ying'er had very tactfully brought hot water, and Fengjie changed the tea for everyone.

Aunt Xue suddenly felt a little thirsty, so she picked up the teacup and was about to lift the lid to taste the tea.

suddenly!

"Oh no!"

There seemed to be a servant calling outside.

The sound was actually very small when it reached the house.

At least Lady Jia, Mrs. Wang and others who were present did not hear it.

but!
The same tiny sound sounded like thunder in Aunt Xue's ears!

Aunt Xue's hands trembled involuntarily.

The tea bowl slipped out of his hand and fell to the edge of the table.

"Gulu gulu."

The tea bowl and its lid rolled twice and fell off the table.

Mrs. Wang opened her eyes wide.

He was shocked and terrified, but his body was unable to react at all. He watched helplessly as the steaming tea bowl rolled over him.

Summer clothes are thin.

This time...

"what!"

Madam Wang cried out in pain.
He jumped up all of a sudden.

"Clap!"

The tea bowl broke into several pieces.

Mrs. Wang didn't care about her dignified appearance and kept jumping on the ground in pain.

"Ouch, ouch, it's hot, hot..."

Very funny.

A few people almost couldn't hold back their laughter, but they managed to calm down by pinching their palms.

Aunt Xue no longer cared about what was happening outside and hurried forward to see Mrs. Wang. She saw that a large area of ​​her skirt was wet, and her legs were covered with tea foam.

"Sister, are you okay?"

Aunt Xue said somewhat embarrassedly.

Mrs. Wang glanced at her sister with resentment. She really wanted to say: I jumped up, do you think you are okay?

If this wasn't her biological sister, she would be furious!

Even if it was her own sister, she would want to ask: Are you jealous that I married into the Duke's Mansion? Do you want to see me make a fool of myself?
At this time, Li Wan, Feng Ji, Zhou Rui's wife and others all gathered around, ordering people to find burn medicine while crowding inside to change clothes.

Grandmother Jia looked at Aunt Xue with dissatisfaction.

He is so clumsy at his age, which is totally outrageous.

"Not good! Not good!"

The people outside had already entered the yard, shouting.

Grandmother Jia stood up and called to Yuanyang beside her, saying, "Auntie is busy at home, let's go back first."

Yuanyang hurried forward to support him.

Aunt Xue was no longer in the mood to invite a host. She smiled and said, "There are a lot of things to do at home today. I've spoiled the old lady's mood. I'll make it up to her another day."

While apologizing, he hurried out and asked anxiously, "What happened? What trouble did Pan'er cause again?"

Yingchun and Tanchun have already gone inside.

Baochai forced herself to remain calm, pulled Aunt Xue to comfort her, "Mom, don't panic, it's not necessarily my brother's fault." Baoyu stood aside and smiled faintly, "Aunt, Sister Bao, don't worry, I'll go find the old ancestor if there's anything."

But the servant came forward, kneeling on the ground, kowtowed, and panted, "My master was arrested and was taken to Yingtian Mansion for questioning. Ban'er Hu'er and the others were also arrested. I ran away at the risk of my life just to deliver a letter to the lady and the young lady."

The servant boy is still feeling scared, luckily he ran fast. The bailiffs were still chasing him, but they stopped when they saw him run into the Duke's Mansion.

After hearing this, Aunt Xue's eyes rolled up and her legs went limp and she fainted.

"mom!"

"mom!"

Baochai didn't care about being sad, and hurriedly took Ying'er, Ming'er, and Xiangling to help Aunt Xue, who had escaped, into the bed in the inner room.

As soon as Aunt Xue lay down, she slowly opened her eyes and cried bitterly, "My son! My poor son, I will not live any longer..."

Baochai wanted to cry, but she held it back and said with a forced smile, "Don't worry, Mom. We still have a way."

Baoyu followed in and comforted her, "Aunt, Sister Bao, don't worry, I'll go find the ancestor right away."

Tanchun said, "Second brother, you are confused. This is a major matter involving the government. How can the old lady take care of it? Go find the master immediately."

"what!"

Baoyu was startled.

Looking for the master... forget it.

Baoyu stood still and said, "I think Brother Xue is a lucky man, and nothing will happen to him!"

Tanchun stamped her feet anxiously.

"Go find Brother Lian!"

Find Jia Lian, that’s fine.

Baoyu hurriedly said, "Wait a moment, I'll be back soon."

Although Mrs. Wang intended to cover up Xue Pan's murder, the walls of Rongguo Mansion were so leaky that they could not prevent anything. Even without anyone else, Zhou Rui's wife exaggerated the matter and made it known to everyone on the street.

……

But let’s talk about Mrs. Wang.

After entering, Li Wan, Feng Jie, Jin Chuan'er, Yu Chuan'er and other maids hurriedly helped to take off her outer clothes. When they opened them, they saw a large red and swollen area on her stomach and legs.

It's more serious than the last time.

After all, clothes are thin in summer.

Mrs. Wang only felt a burning pain.

"Medicine, has the medicine arrived?"

Sister Feng hurriedly asked the maid next to her, "Have you brought the burn medicine?"

A maid replied hurriedly, "Not yet. We didn't have much burn medicine left, and we just ran out of it the other day."

Sister Feng gritted her teeth and said, "Then go buy it!"

Li Wan said, "How long will it take to buy some now? Let's go to the East Mansion to borrow some. Sister Xichun said last time that they have a lot of medicine for wounds and burns."

Stick injury medicine is easy to understand,

What do you need some burn medicine for?
Everyone couldn't understand it for a moment.

But now is not the time to think about this. Wang Xifeng ordered Ping'er beside her, "Go to the East Palace and get some. Say you want the best burn medicine!"

"Ai!"

Ping'er agreed and ran out.

Sister Feng added: "Remember to take more!"

You never know when my wife will need it again.

Everyone: "..."

Ping'er was indeed Wang Xifeng's capable maid. She was efficient and brought the burn medicine in no time.

Sister Feng smiled and said, "You came back pretty quickly."

Li Wan also smiled and said, "Miss Ping'er is really likable for her work."

Ping Er panted and laughed, "What a coincidence! I happened to meet Master Rong when I went there. As soon as I told him, he immediately ordered someone to open the storehouse and personally selected the best medicine for me."

As she spoke, Ping'er took out a small bottle and said, "This one is for external application." Then she took out a few pills and said, "This one is for internal use. Just take it with warm water."

Sister Feng asked suspiciously, "You're taking it internally after getting burned?"

Ping Er smiled and said, "Master Rong said it can relieve the pain."

When Mrs. Wang heard that it could relieve the pain, she hurriedly said, "Quick, give me the medicine."

"Madam, the medicine is here."
