Republic of China: Guandong Ginseng King

Chapter 142 Something Happened to the Chen Family
Hearing the noise, Qu Shaoyang was stunned. Why did the voice sound like Chen Xiuyun?

That's impossible. Chen Xiuyun should be in Kuandian City. How could she come to Maoer Mountain?

Although Qu Shaoyang was confused, he immediately put down his bowl and chopsticks and ran out.

When Qu Shaoyang ran to the gate and saw the person coming, he was stunned.

"Xiuyun, what's wrong with you?"

Chen Xiuyun in front of him had unkempt hair and dirty clothes, which seemed to have a lot of blood on them. She looked like a refugee.

Behind her, there was a horse, and the horse was covered in sweat. One could tell at a glance that it had traveled this distance at great risk.

"Brother Shaoyang, something happened at home."

The moment Chen Xiuyun saw Qu Shaoyang, the tense string in her heart relaxed. She felt a black screen in front of her eyes and her body went limp, and she was about to fall down.

Qu Shaoyang was quick to act and immediately hugged Chen Xiuyun, "Xiuyun, Xiuyun?"

Qu Shaoyang was so scared that he ran to the courtyard holding Chen Xiuyun, shouting as he ran, "Master, Master's wife, Xiuyun fainted."

Liu Dongshan and Lin Ruolan heard the noise in the house and hurriedly got up and came out, just in time to meet Qu Shaoyang.

Liu Dongshan was frightened when he saw Chen Xiuyun's appearance.

"Oh, what happened to this child? How did he become like this? Quick, put him on the kang."

Qu Shaoyang put Chen Xiuyun on the north kang and felt her pulse, which seemed a little weak.

"Master, I'll go get the doctor."

None of the people in the family knew any medicine, and they didn’t know what was going on with Chen Xiuyun’s condition, so they could only go and ask a doctor for help.

"Xiaozhi, there is a horse outside. Lead it into the yard and get it some water to drink."

Seeing his fiancée in such a state, Qu Shaoyang became extremely anxious and didn't care about anything else. He ran out and went straight to the doctor.

Here, Liu Dongshan and Lin Ruolan were both surprised when they saw Chen Xiuyun lying unconscious on the kang.

What on earth could have happened that would make a girl come all the way from Kuandian to Maoershan? And what could have happened that made her look so miserable?

"I'm afraid something has happened at Doctor Chen's house." Liu Dongshan immediately realized that something big must have happened at the Chen family.

"Of course, unless something terrible happened, who would be willing to let a girl travel so far to find a fiancée?"

Lin Ruolan pinched Chen Xiuyun's philtrum hard while muttering in pain.

Lin Ruolan pinched for a long time, and Chen Xiuyun, who was unconscious on the kang, finally groaned, but her eyes were still not open.

When Lin Ruolan heard the noise, she quickly shouted, "Xiuyun, Xiuyun, wake up, wake up quickly."

"Dongshan, come on, throw a towel under some cold water, and I'll try to wipe her face."

Seeing that Chen Xiuyun seemed to be half awake, Lin Ruolan hurriedly called Liu Dongshan for help.

Liu Dongshan quickly went to get some cold water, soaked the handkerchief in it, wrung it out, and then handed it to Lin Ruolan.

Lin Ruolan took the handkerchief and wiped Chen Xiuyun's forehead and face.

Perhaps it was the coolness of the handkerchief that stimulated Chen Xiuyun's perception, and she slowly opened her eyes.

"She's awake, she's awake, Xiuyun is awake." Lin Ruolan said excitedly when she saw Chen Xiuyun open her eyes.

"Uncle Liu, Auntie, where is Brother Shaoyang? Something happened at home."

Chen Xiuyun woke up and was in a daze for a while. When she recognized who was in front of her, tears couldn't stop falling.

"What's going on? Tell us slowly."

Liu Dongshan comforted Chen Xiuyun in a gentle voice, fearing that she would get excited again and faint again.

Just at this moment, Qu Shaoyang dragged in a breathless doctor. Liu Dongshan could only stop asking questions and let the doctor treat Chen Xiuyun.

The doctor was about to extend his hand to examine Chen Xiuyun, but Chen Xiuyun waved her hand. "Brother Shaoyang, I'm fine. I just haven't eaten or slept for two or three days. I'm tired."

When Qu Shaoyang heard this, he roughly understood, and hurriedly asked Lin Ruolan for brown sugar and made a cup of brown sugar water.

"Drink some water first, and I'll get you some food later."

Qu Shaoyang went over and helped Chen Xiuyun up, then fed her the brown sugar water bit by bit.

Chen Xiuyun must have been very thirsty as well. She quickly finished a cup of brown sugar water and only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Qu Shaoyang supported Chen Xiuyun and asked the doctor to check his pulse. The result was the same as what Chen Xiuyun said.

He fainted because he hadn't eaten or slept for several days, and he was riding a horse on the road, so he was tired and hungry.

"This girl is fine. She should eat some porridge first, and then eat something else slowly. She will be fine in a few days."

After the doctor finished the examination, he confirmed that Chen Xiuyun had no other problems, so he instructed Qu Shaoyang.

"Thank you very much, thank you very much. I'm so sorry to have made you go along with me."

Upon learning that Chen Xiuyun was fine, Qu Shaoyang finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly apologized to the doctor.

"It's okay. It's normal for young people to panic when they encounter problems.

Well, since the girl is fine, I will go back first." The doctor nodded, picked up his medicine box and turned to walk out.

Liu Dongshan hurriedly followed him out to see him off, and took out some copper coins to give to the doctor as consultation fees.

After seeing the doctor off, Lin Ruolan went to the kitchen to cook porridge. Liu Dongshan and Qu Shaoyang stayed in the room, listening to Chen Xiuyun talk about family matters.

It turned out that something happened to Doctor Chen and Mrs. Li.

There was a wealthy family named Tong in Kuandian City. Someone in their family was an official in the court and they were also relatives of the deputy governor of Shengjing.

The master of the Tong family had a favorite concubine who was pregnant. The fetus was unstable, and many famous doctors in Kuandian City were consulted, but to no avail.

Later, I heard that Doctor Chen from Shi'an Hall was an excellent Chinese medicine practitioner, so I invited him to treat the patient.

After Doctor Chen went to check on the concubine, the concubine's pregnancy was indeed stabilized. From then on, Doctor Chen was responsible for the concubine's pregnancy.

A few days ago, the favored concubine, who was more than eight months pregnant, suddenly had a miscarriage and was about to give birth.

The Tong family immediately sent Doctor Chen away, only to find out that the baby was suffering from a difficult labor.

The Tong family knew that Li was an excellent midwife, so they invited her over.

Doctor Chen and the Li couple worked together and finally ensured the safe birth of the child, but the favorite concubine suffered heavy bleeding.

The couple rushed to rescue him and managed to save his life.

After the mother and child were in stable condition, Doctor Chen and his wife said goodbye and left.

Who would have known that as soon as the couple left, the favorite concubine and her newborn child died.

The master of the Tong family was furious and insisted that it was Doctor Chen and his wife who killed his favorite concubine and children.

After reporting to the authorities, Doctor Chen and his wife were thrown into jail, and the Shi'antang Medical Clinic was also closed down.

After Chen Xiuyun got engaged, Chen Yunhan and Chen Yunzhe left home, one to study under a famous teacher, and the other returned to the Liaoyang Escort Agency.

Doctor Chen and Li were arrested, leaving Chen Xiuyun alone at home.

On the one hand, Chen Xiuyun spent money to smooth over connections in an attempt to rescue her parents, and on the other hand, she immediately asked someone to send a letter to notify her brothers to come back quickly.

Chen Yunzhe was closer and came back first. As soon as he arrived in Kuandian, he went to Tong's house to argue.

Unexpectedly, the Tong family had a very domineering attitude. Chen Yunzhe got excited and started fighting with them. He was beaten up by the Tong family's thugs and was thrown into jail.
