Chapter 650 Half push and half give
"This is also my fault. I didn't have the nerve to refuse Wenlong and help him get some medicine. Don't worry, my aunt, I will definitely take responsibility to the end. There is always a way out. Ask Mr. Zhen to prescribe a warming prescription first. At dawn, I will send someone to the Imperial Hospital to ask the imperial doctors to come for a consultation. In the worst case..."
At this point, Zhang Yunyi glanced at Xue Baochai, paused, and said, "At worst, we can look for famous doctors. The world is so big that there may be ways to recover."
He did have an idea, but bringing it up at this moment might seem like taking advantage of someone's misfortune, so he had to put it aside.
However, although this meal did not arouse anyone's suspicion, it made everyone present feel that he was speechless for a moment and had no words to say to comfort Aunt Xue.
There was some silence in the field for a while.
Aunt Xue was the first to speak: "Mr. Zhen just said that it has nothing to do with Yun Yi, but we are an orphan and a widow, so we have to trouble Yun Yi to take more care of us!"
Because she had some guesses before and after listening to Zhen Shiyin's diagnosis, Aunt Xue also knew that it was probably because Xue Pan had been wasting time over the years.
Although Zhang Yunyi took the initiative to take responsibility, she did not dare to take advantage of the situation and really put the blame on him.
Although the Xue family had no shortage of money, whether it was inviting imperial physicians to treat the disease or searching for famous doctors in the future, they would have to rely on Zhang Yunyi's connections.
Just at this moment, a maid called out from outside: "Madam... the master is awake!"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Xue hurried out the door, and everyone quickly followed her and came to Xue Pan's residence.
As soon as she entered the room, Aunt Xue started wailing, "What an evil creature! What an evil creature! Now that's great! How can I face you in my grave..."
Xue Pan has already become a living dead, and now he has no descendants. Having raised her son like this, Aunt Xue really has no face to face the deceased Master Xue.
However, when he thought about what he had done in private, the words that should have been spoken in one breath came to a halt, and his face became uncertain, turning blue and white.
Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xue, who knew about this, had to suppress their laughter.
Baochai and Baoqin, who didn't know what was going on, thought that Aunt Xue had just woken up after seeing Xue Pan, and couldn't bear to blame her.
Xue Pan, who had just woken up, rubbed his eyes and asked in confusion: "What happened? I was not in Jinxiang Courtyard? When did you return home?"
At this point, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhang Yunyi in the crowd and asked in surprise, "Why is Brother Yi here?"
"What about the medicine?"
The medicine given to Xue Pan was switched, and in order to avoid any consequences, it had to be taken back.
He thought for a moment and added, "Are there any left?"
"Yes! Yes! The medicine is one less pill after another. I, Old Xue, have kept it well. How can I bear to take it?"
At this point, he touched his head again, glanced at the bedside table and said, "Oh, right! I remember bringing one to Jinxiangyuan. How come..."
Without waiting for him to finish his words, Zhang Yunyi pulled open the bedside table, picked up the sandalwood box inside, opened it and took a look, then he felt relieved, closed the box and said, "I'll take these two pills back and return them to Eunuch Xia!"
"Why is this?" Xue Pan was stunned and shouted.
"Why else? If you keep eating, I'll kill you!" Aunt Xue said unhappily, "How do you think you got back?"
At that moment, Aunt Xue, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xue II all spoke at once and narrated what had happened.
Xue Baochai finally got a chance to speak up and quickly advised, "Brother, just listen to mother and elder brother Yi, stay at home and take good care of yourself, don't make mother angry again!"
Unexpectedly, Xue Pan was stunned at first, but then he said righteously: "Didn't Mr. Zhen also say that my illness was caused by a few years ago? What does this medicine have to do with it?"
As he spoke, he glanced at the box in Zhang Yunyi's hand, turned to Aunt Xue and said, "Since your son is already like this, why do you want him to suffer this?"
Fortunately, Aunt Xue spat, "Bah! What nonsense are you talking about! Mr. Zhen also said that if you take good care of yourself, there is still a glimmer of hope for recovery..."
"You also said that it's just a lifeline. If my son is really bored at home, he might as well die!"
"You! You're going to piss me off to death!"
This……
Zhang Yunyi also didn't expect that between working hard and giving up, Xue Pan chose to work hard and give up.
Although this medicine is not as harmful to the body as the one given by Xia Shouzhong, it can cause coma every time you take it, so it cannot be given.
He was really worried that Xue Pan would insist on his own way and Aunt Xue would not be able to persuade him. After all, there were only two pills, and Aunt Xue might not think that the harm was not great and therefore soften her heart.
Thinking of this, he quickly cleared his throat and said, "Don't even think about this medicine. Although I didn't know your physical condition at the beginning, I agreed to help you get the medicine, but this time it was because of this medicine. Now that I know the situation, wouldn't it be intentional to harm you if I gave it to you again?"
Aunt Xue quickly agreed, "Yes! A glimmer of hope is still hope. We should leave some incense for the family."
"Incense?" Xue Pan muttered to himself, and suddenly raised his head and glanced behind Aunt Xue, "What's so difficult about this? If I can't have a son, can't I still adopt one..."
Zhang Yun逸 and Mrs. Xue II, who were standing behind Aunt Xue, both had their eyes brightened up at the same time.
Although taking a concubine is common these days, taking the sisters in the Grand View Garden is different from taking concubines outside.
Therefore, when he took in Yuanchun and Yingchun, he tried his best to have a legitimate reason and put the blame on Lady Jia.
Just now, he thought of taking advantage of Xue Pan's infertility and letting Xue Baochai imitate Xiangling.
However, although Xue Pan's idea coincided with Zhang Yunyi's previous idea, in order to avoid taking advantage of others, he had to pretend not to see Xue Pan's gaze.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xue, who was standing by, couldn't wait and spoke first, "You can't write two Xue characters with one stroke. Wenlong, don't worry, just listen to your mother and treat it first. If it doesn't work, wait until your brother gets married and has children, I guarantee he will adopt one for you... At worst, you can still inherit the family line, right?"
After hearing this, Aunt Xue immediately felt unhappy.
What Mrs. Xue said sounded nice, but wasn't she also planning to take over her own property?
She had always been wary of the second wife, and now Xue Ke, under the instruction of Zhang Yunyi, was managing the business of the first wife.
Didn’t the property that I worked so hard to protect for my son all go to the second wife?
But having said that, she couldn't find any fault with what Mrs. Xue said.
After all, if the son is really infertile, the second wife is the best choice in terms of closeness and blood relationship.
Unexpectedly, she was not in a position to express it, but Xue Pan did not care about it and said disapprovingly: "Aunt also said that my brother Ta is not married yet, it is too early to talk about this now! But brother Yi... since he can inherit the incense for the Zhen family, why not marry my sister and let her follow Xiangling's example?"
As soon as these words came out, Xue Baochai was the first to bear the brunt. She quickly lowered her pretty face with a blush, pinched the corner of her clothes, and pretended to complain: "Brother...Brother, why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"
Mrs. Xue was speechless.
It’s not that she couldn’t find words to refute. After all, the Xue family was not like the Zhen family, who were penniless and whose clan was declining.
It is reasonable and logical to choose from among the Xue family even if a child is to be adopted.
However, since it concerned Zhang Yunyi, she did not dare to express any objection.
Having lost the initiative just now, Zhang Yunyi secretly gave Xue Pan a thumbs up after learning from the previous experience. However, he looked at Aunt Xue and said in a reserved manner, "This..."
He originally planned to let Aunt Xue express her opinion, but he was half-hearted.
Unexpectedly, Xue Pan spoke first: "Brother Yi, don't you feel that I owe you because of my illness? This way, you don't have to feel that you owe me anything. It's the best of both worlds."
Seeing that Zhang Yun逸 was still hesitating, he took advantage of the situation and brought up what Zhang Yun逸 had said before.
With this step, Zhang Yunyi no longer hesitated and said confidently: "Wenlong, don't worry, I have told my concubine before that I will take responsibility to the end!"
Aunt Xue, who was originally a little hesitant, no longer hesitated.
He glanced at his daughter, who was looking downcast and shy, and immediately said, "Since Wenlong has said so, let's choose a date as soon as possible!"
Although, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xue who were present knew their own family situations, weren't they the same?
She has now become like Zhang Yunyi from the inside out. It is better to keep the wealth within the family than to let the second wife take advantage of it.
Xue Pan clapped his hands and said happily: "Well... since the matter has been settled, the medicine..."
Seeing that he was so tactful and was still obsessed with the medicine, Zhang Yun逸 wanted to help him, but he had to do it in front of Aunt Xue, and he couldn't just give a perfunctory gift.
He could only say righteously: "This is also a last resort. We still have to try to treat it!"
