My younger sister insisted on marrying me and made me the Marquis' wife.

Chapter 312 Banquet (V)

"It's Doctor Li that we invited."

Qin Yuan's words comforted Madam Zhao.

Zhao Mama calmed down and was in the mood to continue crying. She grabbed Madam Xu and cried, "Madam, Madam Xu was so angry that the Sixth Madam vomited blood. Madam Xu said she came to see the Sixth Madam's condition, but she didn't want the Sixth Madam to live."

Qin Yuan: “…”

Madam Xu struggled and screamed, opened her arms and fought hard, cursing: "You are a dog slave who talks nonsense. How dare you slander me like this? I came to see the nun with good intentions, but she vomited blood because of your few words. Now you push all the blame on me in front of Madam. I don't want to lose my face anymore. I must fight you to the end."

Nanny Zhao didn't care about all that and just held her tightly.

"I don't care about the difference between high and low. I have been hiding this from my master these days because I was afraid that he would be ill and couldn't stand the anger. Now you are here to irritate me. What else should I hide? I will just speak frankly and we will have a clean break in front of Madam and the Marquis."

After this, Madam Xu's arrogance was immediately reduced a lot, and she shouted: "Don't frame a good person. I came here today with good intentions to see the nun. Who knew that she would vomit blood? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have said a word. How do you, a servant, serve others?"

Hongye and Hongmian were both stunned.

Qin Yuan said: "I'll go check on my sixth brother's wife first."

She did not bother to stop the fight and went straight to the inner room. She opened the curtain and saw Madam Gu Liu lying straight on the bed with a pale face.

The fruit plates, cups and plates on the table beside the bed were all overturned, fruits and snacks were scattered all over the floor, and the embroidered cushions and chairs were also tilted.

Qin Yuan stepped forward quickly, stretched out his hand and quickly touched Madam Gu Liu's pale face.

Seeing that Madam Gu Liu was still breathing, she breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly took Madam Gu Liu's wrist to feel her pulse.

By the time Hongye and the others arrived, Qin Yuan had already taken the patient's pulse and ordered, "Go find some moxa sticks."

Hongmian quickly went to find the little maid in Madam Gu Liu's yard to get moxa sticks.

Qin Yuan took off the hairpin from her bun and used it as a needle to poke Madam Gu's chest and ears a few times. She then said, "Get some warm water and wipe Madam Gu's hands and feet. Then put a one-inch long moxa stick with ginger slices on it and apply it to Madam Gu's base of the thumb and Taixi area."

The room was in chaos, and outside, Madam Xu and Nanny Zhao were still arguing.

Qin Yuan frowned: "Tell them to keep their voices down. If Madam Six hears when she wakes up, she will be even more angry."

Hongye hurried out to pass on the message, and the noise outside immediately became lower.

Qin Yuan stood by the bed, staring at Madam Gu Liu closely. Not long after, Madam Gu Liu let out a slight moan.

"Fortunately, Sixth Brother's wife is about to wake up."

Qin Yuan felt relieved, and hurriedly urged Hongye to find Nanny Zhao to ask for the calming incense pill and have it lighted quickly.

After a while, the incense pills were lit, and Madam Six's breathing gradually became calm, and her slightly wrinkled brows relaxed.

Hongye asked quietly, "Is Sixth Madam okay now? She looks much better than before."

Qin Yuan said, "How can she be fine? Her illness cannot stand excitement, extreme joy, anger, shock or fear. Luckily I arrived in time this time, but I can only save her life. Where is Doctor Li?" Hong Mian said quickly, "I have arranged for someone to invite him. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be here soon."

Qin Yuan glanced at Hong Mian, and Hong Ye said, "Why don't I go to the front and ask again."

Qin Yuan nodded.

Hongye hurried out to look for Gu Shiliu.

Hongmian lifted up the embroidered cushion and said softly, "Madam, why don't you sit down and rest for a while."

Qin Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, let's go out and let them clean up here first, so that when Doctor Li comes later, it will look presentable."

Madam Gu Liu couldn't do anything here, so she might as well go outside and see what those two were doing.

At this time, Aunt Zhao was holding Madam Xu tightly, saying, "If anything happens to the master, I will only use your life to pay for it. Anyway, I am being driven to death by your Xu family."

Madam Xu was so frightened that her face turned pale. She defended herself in a trembling voice, "How could I know that my aunt's illness had reached such a serious state? You, as a servant, should have told me earlier. Now that you have caused trouble, you are so loyal. How could I know if you are just putting on an act for others to see?"

Nanny Zhao is about to get angry again.

The maids beside her all advised, "Madam has come out, Madam Zhao, please let go, the master will take care of everything."

Hearing that Qin Yuan was here, Nanny Zhao finally let go of her hand and asked expectantly, "Madam, how is Sixth Madam...how is she?"

Qin Yuan sighed and said, "Sixth Madam has recovered a little. You know that her illness cannot stand any stimulation. Doctor Li will have to see whether it is good or bad."

Madam Zhao suppressed her sobs and said in a hoarse voice, "The master is so pitiful. We took good care of him and didn't offend anyone, but he was caught by his sister-in-law and was so angry that he vomited blood. This disease is becoming more and more difficult to cure. Please, Madam, make the decision and seek justice for the Sixth Madam."

Qin Yuan turned around and told the maid, "Why don't you help Madam Xu change her clothes and wash up?"

Madam Xu was in a state of disgrace after being torn apart. She had lost all her composure and cried tremblingly, "I am too ashamed to face anyone now. Madam Zhao has been too much of an idiot. I beg Madam to give me justice."

Qin Yuan soothed her softly, "Why don't you wash and change your clothes first, and have Nanny Zhao tidy up, and wait until the Marquis, Lord Xu, and Sixth Master come before dealing with anything else. I was only focused on Sixth Madam just now, and I don't know what happened, so it's not good to judge hastily. Madam Xu, just rest assured. If Nanny Zhao is wrong, I will punish her severely."

There are many things hidden in this, how can she make the decision to deal with it? She can only talk it out clearly after everyone arrives.

After coaxing Madam Xu to wash and change her clothes, Qin Yuan asked, "Madam Zhao, what on earth is going on?"

Madam Zhao said with a sad face, "Sixth Madam had been taking Doctor Li's medicine and felt better, but she didn't expect that after taking the medicine from the hospital director, her condition relapsed. However, Sixth Madam always felt that the hospital director's medicine was more powerful, so she continued to take it. She has been feeling a little sleepy these past two days, so she stayed in the courtyard to rest. Who would have thought that Madam Xu would come to visit her, saying that she was here to check on Sixth Madam's condition."

Qin Yuan nodded.

She could roughly guess all this, but the most important thing was what Madam Xu had said to Madam Six that had caused Madam Six to vomit blood.

Madam Zhao continued, "Many housekeepers in the mansion paid a share to buy pepper. The price of pepper has dropped drastically now. They dare not look for the Sixth Madam, so they all come to me. I have also invested some money, so I went to the Xu family to return the share quickly, and I would like to have as much as I can. But the Xu family ignored me, and I was pressed hard, and there was nothing I could do."

"It's just that Sixth Madam had invested a lot of money in the beginning. When Madam Xu told her that the price of pepper outside was falling and she couldn't sell it, she complained that she shouldn't have listened to Sixth Madam and hoarded pepper. She also implied that Sixth Madam should find a way to compensate for their losses. Sixth Madam was so anxious that she vomited blood."
