Chapter 473: Chapter 467_1 Chapter 473: Chapter 467_1 Lin Yue had not expected such a turn of events, and she felt sowhat moved. Jiang Ziqi had always taken good care of her, and Doctor Zheng was a righteous and kind man. If it had not been for Doctor Zheng bravely stepping in to help her seek out Jiang Ziqi, Zhao Erhu’s situation would still be uncertain now. She hadn’t thought that this ti around, Doctor Zheng would stand up for her from behind the scenes as well. However, given the current circumstances, it was still necessary to invite Doctor Zheng over once more. Since Zhao Erhu failed to bring him the first ti, and now that it was due to her own situation, she supposed that Doctor Zheng would not refuse.
“Speaking of which, Doctor Zheng is also a person of justice and kindness. Moreover, our family has so dealings with Doctor Zheng, so it is not surprising that he would act this way. But this matter concerns my eldest sister’s health, and since Erhu was unable to bring him, had you told at that ti, I would have gone to ask him and I’m sure Doctor Zheng would not have refused. Why on earth did you have to keep it from ? Now, my sister’s illness has been dragged out so long, I’m afraid even Doctor Zheng might not be able to cure her.”
“Ah, sister-in-law, at that ti, his wife had done such an outrageous act, how could we let you run around for such a matter?”
“Forget it, it’s no use talking about it now. How about this, I’ll send soone to the city right away to invite Doctor Zheng over to see if there’s still a chance to save my sister?” Lin Yue sighed and said. She was only saying this; at the ti, Zhao Yunxiang had wanted to take her life, to think she would persuade Doctor Zheng, she truly might not have agreed. Even now, though she could understand Zhao Erhu’s actions, she was still angry. But with Zhao Erhu away from ho, there was nothing she could do about it, even in anger.
“Sister-in-law, I don’t know how to thank you enough. Whether his wife can be saved or not, I, Lin Genfa, will never forget this kindness for the rest of my life.”
“There’s no need for such talk. Zhao Yunxiang is, after all, Erhu’s legitimate elder sister, and it is only right for to offer my help,” Lin Yue waved her hand dismissively, feeling that Lin Genfa genuinely had comndable character, willing to go to such lengths for Zhao Yunxiang. In her lifeti, Zhao Yunxiang was fortunate to et such a person.
Lin Yue instructed Liu Aniu, “Brother Liu, I hope you don’t mind making a trip to the city for and fetching Doctor Zheng.” With Zhao Erhu not at ho and heading to Shanglin Village, Lin Yue brought Liu Aniu along to ensure safety, knowing he was reliable and not blindly loyal, which made her feel at ease about his handling of affairs.
“Yes, Mistress Dongjia, I will go imdiately.” With Mistress Dongjia’s orders, Liu Aniu, not one for needless talk, imdiately took the carriage to the city. Speaking of Liu Aniu, his agility among the Zhao Family’s servants and farmhands was comndable. On normal days, he was held in high regard by both Zhao Erhu and Lin Yue. Zhao Erhu would not have left him behind if he had not been worried about the ho front; otherwise, with his capabilities, he could have easily accompanied Zhao Erhu to the south, making him an excellent candidate for such a trip.
When Doctor Zheng saw Liu Aniu coming to invite him and heard it was on the orders of Mistress Lin, he grabbed his dical kit imdiately, ready to leave. It was not until the carriage had traveled so distance that he realized they were not heading to the Zhao Family village but to Shanglin Village instead.
“You’re not mistaken, are you? This isn’t the way to Zhao Family village.” Although he was sure Liu Aniu would not be on the wrong path, Doctor Zheng wanted to know where they were heading.
“Doctor Zheng, we are going to Shanglin Village, to the household of Mistress Dongjia’s elder aunt.”
Understanding the situation, Doctor Zheng said, “So it’s their family. Your Mistress Dongjia really has a kind heart; her elder aunt wanted to take her life, and yet now she sends for to help save her.”
Liu Aniu was just a farmhand; he did not feel it was his place to comnt on the affairs of the Dongjia household, so upon hearing Doctor Zheng’s words, he remained silent.
“Doctor Zheng, thank you for making the trip here. Please take a look at my older sister and help us determine what illness she has contracted, and why she has ended up in such a state,” Lin Yue said.
“Let have a look first.” Doctor Zheng actually only knew that Zhao Yunxiang was ill, but had no idea what the specific illness was. Thus, upon seeing Zhao Yunxiang’s inhuman appearance on the bed, he was also taken aback and without further ado, began to feel her pulse directly.
The longer Doctor Zheng felt Zhao Yunxiang’s pulse, the more serious the expression on his face beca. He switched to feel her other wrist but still ca to no conclusion after a long while. Lin Yue and Lin Genfa didn’t dare to interrupt his diagnostics, simply waiting patiently by the side, aware that Zhao Yunxiang’s condition was probably not optimistic.
Lin Yue anxiously asked as soon as Doctor Zheng finished taking the pulse, “Doctor Zheng, how is my older sister doing? Have you been able to determine the illness?” Her heart was also curious about what strange illness Zhao Yunxiang had contracted to end up in her current state.
Doctor Zheng’s dical expertise was rather profound, having received many insights from Jiang Ziqi, which had advanced his dical skills even further. Although he hadn’t diagnosed the specific illness Zhao Yunxiang suffered from, he still noticed so clues. After inquiring about the patient’s condition from Lin Genfa since the onset of her illness, he finally expressed his conclusion.
“The patient appears to have been poisoned. I’ve determined that there seems to be so kind of toxin in her body that is destroying her health. While it’s not imdiately fatal, the person will continue to weaken until death,” he announced.
“What? Poisoned! How could my wife possibly be poisoned? Doctor, you couldn’t have diagnosed her wrong, could you?” Lin Genfa said, astonished. Although he knew of Doctor Zheng’s superior dical skills, he instinctively questioned the diagnosis. In reality, his doubt wasn’t targeted at Doctor Zheng’s expertise; he found it hard to believe that Zhao Yunxiang’s condition was not just sickness, but poison—it seed beyond comprehension.
It wasn’t just Lin Genfa; even Lin Yue was surprised by the diagnosis Doctor Zheng had arrived at. This wasn’t a large estate with complex politics; Zhao Yunxiang was rely a common peasant woman. How could she have been poisoned? It seed too bizarre.
Fortunately, Doctor Zheng was understanding of Lin Genfa’s feelings and was not displeased by his questioning. The situation was indeed strange. Even he had a degree of disbelief when he diagnosed Zhao Yunxiang with poisoning, which is why he checked several tis before making a judgnt.
“There’s no mistake that it’s poisoning. But this poison is unheard of, sothing I have never encountered before. It’s no wonder that the doctors you consulted before couldn’t diagnose it. Even I had to check three or four tis before I could be certain. This isn’t a poison that just anybody would co across. How it ca to be in a peasant woman’s body is beyond . I’ve been practicing dicine for many years and have never seen anything like this,” Doctor Zheng added, finding it all the more strange.
“How can this be? Brother-in-law, think about it. Did my sister offend anyone who would go as far as to poison her?” Lin Yue asked, knowing that she wasn’t well inford about Zhao Yunxiang’s affairs and turned to Lin Genfa for answers.
Upon hearing this, Lin Genfa thought deeply but couldn’t co up with anyone Zhao Yunxiang might have crossed. It was true that she didn’t get along too well with the villagers and often had quarrels and conflicts, but none seed severe enough to warrant a death sentence. In fact, the most egregious thing Zhao Yunxiang had done during that ti was
