I'm already a concubine, who wants to fight with you?

Chapter 107 Like Falling
As things were not settled, Xie Fei couldn't leave for the time being.

The father and son of the eldest wife hurried over from the front hall to listen to Pei Zhaoyan's account of what happened.

"Father, brother, don't worry. The maids have already gone to get the imperial physician. Shanbao may have had some convulsions, but he shouldn't be seriously injured."

Pei Honglang asked anxiously, "He was fine this morning, why did he suddenly twitch?"

The head of the first house, Pei Yuan's great uncle, was named Pei Sheng. He was an official of the Hanlin Academy and was also a meticulous, calm and solemn person.

He loved his grandson the most, and he also said, "I held him in my arms this morning, and he was giggling. How come he had a convulsion in the afternoon?"

Pei Zhaoyan doesn’t even have a child, how does she know what’s going on?

She had no choice but to explain again and again that her mother and the mother and daughter of the Ban family were all inside, and that when the imperial physician came, perhaps he would be able to find out the situation.

Pei Sheng was very worried, and suddenly he saw Xie Fei again.

"Who is this?" He looked unfamiliar.

Xie Fei bowed and said, "I am Xie from the fourth house. Because the old lady and the eldest lady in the mansion are not feeling well, I have come to the Pei Mansion to deliver New Year gifts on behalf of the mistress."

Pei Sheng nodded.

Pei Yuan went to welcome his concubine into the house, but he did not go in person. He asked his eldest son to do it for him, so he never met Xie Fei.

It was the end of the year, and it was common for the two families to visit each other. Besides, he was upset at the time, so he didn't ask much.

Pei Honglang was extremely anxious. He went into the house to check and came out to tell Pei Sheng that Shanbao was convulsing severely, his face was as pale as paper, and he was vomiting and having diarrhea.

Pei Sheng's face changed drastically and he went in immediately without caring whether there were any women inside.

Xie Fei felt that it would not be a good idea for her to stay at this critical moment, so she wanted to say goodbye to Pei Zhaoyan first.

But before she could say anything, Pei Zhaoyan held her tightly, glanced into the room, and spoke to her.

"Why is Shanbao vomiting again out of nowhere? He's so tiny, could he be possessed by an evil spirit?"

Xie Fei said casually: "Could it be that he fell?"

"Fell?" Pei Zhaoyan turned to look at her, surprised: "This child can't even walk, how could she fall?"

Xie Fei saw her anxious and distressed look and said, "Maybe someone was holding her and she accidentally hit her head."

In her previous life, although she was not a pediatrician, she had practiced in pediatrics.

Some children with concussion have such symptoms, such as convulsions, and foaming at the mouth.

Because the baby couldn't even speak, and had other symptoms, such as confusion, dizziness, and tinnitus, they couldn't express them.

Pei Zhaoyan was also frightened by Xie Fei's imagination and broke out in a cold sweat. He went into the house without saying anything and dragged Xie Fei along.

There was a large group of people gathered in the room. Shanbao was put on the bed. Because there were people surrounding him in three layers inside and outside, Xie Fei couldn't see what was going on.

Mrs. Zheng was such a calm and composed lady, but at this moment she could faintly hear the sound of crying.

On the other hand, the mother and daughter of the Ban family looked heartbroken, but they also seemed to be a little nervous.

Pei Zhaoyan saw it and was about to say something when news came from outside that the imperial physician had arrived.

Pei Sheng and Pei Honglang hurried over to greet them and briefly explained what had happened.

As soon as the imperial physician arrived, everyone was sent out.

Looking at everyone, Pei Zhaoyan said, "I don't know either, was Shanbao thrown down by someone?" The Pei father and son were stunned, but the Ban mother and daughter immediately denied it.

"How could that happen? The child can't climb, so how could he fall?" Ban Sihui's voice was high-pitched and sharp, almost shrill as she refuted Pei Zhaoyan.

Mrs. Ban also nodded and said, "Second Miss Pei, please don't talk nonsense. Shanbao looks like he is possessed by an evil spirit. We should ask a monk to exorcise the evil spirit!"

Pei Zhaoyan said, "We are not always by Shanbao's cradle. Shanbao was taken care of by the wet nurse during the morning reception and sending off. I think we should call the wet nurse and question her carefully."

"What's there to ask?" Ban Sihui's palms were sweaty. She turned her back and wiped them, looking very panicked.

She pointed her spearhead at Pei Zhaoyan and yelled for no reason: "Second sister, what do you mean? Are you going to blame Shanbao's condition on me?"

Pei Zhaoyan was dumbfounded and said, "Sister-in-law is talking nonsense. I'm asking you about the nurse. What are you feeling guilty about? Did you drop Shanbao and you don't dare to admit it?"

In an instant, the eyes of Pei's father and son and Mrs. Zheng all fell on Ban Sihui.

Ban Sihui was anxious and angry, and yelled at Pei Zhaoyan.

"Second sister, you are a married woman, please don't come back to make things difficult for me just because you can't give birth to a son in your husband's family, okay?
Shanbao is the only son I risked my life to give birth to. If I don’t wish him well, do I have to throw him to death to make myself feel better?”

Pei Zhaoyan said anxiously: "I didn't mean that! I just..."

"What are you talking about?" Mrs. Ban also shouted, "They say a daughter who is married off is like water spilled. You should pay more attention to your husband's family instead of fanning the flames at your own home!"

Pei Zhaoyan bit her lip in grievance and looked towards her parents subconsciously.

Pei Sheng loved his daughter the most, and his face was already livid at this moment, but because the mother and daughter were relatives, he couldn't say much.

But Mrs. Zheng didn't care about all this. Just when Ban Sihui was about to say something unpleasant to Pei Zhaoyan, she immediately stepped forward and slapped Ban Sihui hard.

There was a crisp slapping sound, and everyone was stunned.

Ban Sihui covered her face with her hands, blood oozing from the corners of her mouth, but she retracted her gaze in panic, staring at her toes and hiding behind Mrs. Ban.

Mrs. Ban protected her daughter and shouted sharply, "Why do you hit someone? She is your daughter-in-law and a great contributor to your Pei Mansion! If it weren't for her, you wouldn't have a son now and would be laughed at by the outside world!"

Mrs. Zheng looked at the mother and daughter angrily, her eyes seemed to be burning with flames.

"I'm not dead yet, yet you're bullying my daughter like this! When the master and I are gone in the future, won't it be you and your daughter who will stir up trouble in the Pei Mansion, causing chaos and unrest?"

The Ban family mother and daughter suddenly lost a lot of momentum and dared not speak nonsense anymore.

Pei Honglang looked away and ignored Ban Sihui's pleading gaze.

At this time, a maid came out from the inner room and said, "My Lord and Madam, the imperial physician wants to know if the young master fell this morning."

Everyone was stunned.

Xie Fei had expected this, and at this moment he was hiding behind Pei Zhaoyan, his mouth shut tighter than a clam shell.

As long as the imperial physician can detect concussion, it should be curable.

Pei Sheng looked extremely upset, but he was not a fool. Just by looking at the fierce resistance of the Ban mother and daughter, he knew that Shanbao must have been thrown down, and that the two of them knew about it.

Veins on his forehead were throbbing wildly, and he tried his best to suppress his anger and asked, "Mother-in-law, now is not the time to hide anything. Tell me quickly, what's going on?"

Mrs. Ban was still stubborn and said with her neck stiff, "What's going on? I said I didn't fall, and that's it!
What kind of person is that imperial physician? He is just talking nonsense for the reward of silver! I think we should invite a senior monk to perform a ritual to exorcise the evil spirit, and Shanbao will be cured immediately!"

After understanding this, Xie Fei rolled his eyes.
