Chapter 270: Chapter 105: Tingzheng Has a Fever_3 Chapter 270: Chapter 105: Tingzheng Has a Fever_3 Nanny Deng had previously bribed a guard at the gate, specifically the old nanny with a particularly calm deanor that Yueyao had t before. Nanny Deng asked Dong Qing to deliver the ssage again, and told her the trick to do so, which allowed the ssage to be successfully relayed.
At this mont, Yueyao felt an urge to kill as she said, “The Outer Gate is locked? They won’t unlock it? Doesn’t the family in the mansion care if the master dies of sickness?”
Nanny Deng hurriedly nodded and replied, “The people at the Outer Gate won’t open it, and we can’t get through the second gate, so I could only use this thod to try to reduce Fourth Young Master’s fever.”
Yueyao coldly replied, “Uncle isn’t in the mansion, but Eldest Brother is. Go to Eldest Brother, ask him to send soone to fetch a doctor. I can’t believe that Eldest Brother would ignore Tingzheng’s high fever and fail to call a doctor.” If Tingli knew Tingzheng had a high fever and he did nothing about it, and if anything were to happen to Tingzheng, Tingli would be labeled as a brother who disregards his sibling’s life. Such a reputation, once spread, would ruin Tingli’s life. Don’t bla her for being calculating; it is only through pressing on the Lady family’s sore spot that they would be cautious in their future actions.
Of course, Yueyao believed that Tingli would surely fetch a doctor. During her last visit ho, she felt that Eldest Brother was alright. However, that was just a facade; once there was a conflict of interest, Tingli would definitely stand on the Lady family’s side; there is no closer relationship than that between a mother and her children. Thus, Yueyao held no hope for anyone within the Lian Mansion.
Nanny Deng suddenly realized and said, “Right, how did I not think of that? Miss, I will send soone to inform Eldest Young Master right away.”
Yueyao nodded.
As Dong Xue approached the entrance, Yueyao suddenly rembered sothing and hastily said, “Dong Xue, wait a mont.” After speaking, Yueyao carefully observed Tingzheng’s condition and then rushed to the study to write a few lines in haste.
Yueyao handed the note she had written to Dong Xue, saying, “Give this to the person going to fetch the doctor, and tell him to hand it to the doctor.”
Seeing Tingzheng’s face growing redder, Yueyao trembled inwardly. This wouldn’t do, she couldn’t just wait like this. If they continued to wait, it might delay treatnt as it had in her previous life, and she could lose Tingzheng again. Yueyao clenched her fists tightly; cursed that Vicious Woman, she had never seen soone so cruel and ruthless.
Seeing Yueyao’s deanor, Nanny Deng hurriedly said, “Miss, don’t worry. Dong Qing has already gone to find the Eldest Young Master. Miss, the doctor will be here soon. You must not lose your composure. The household still relies on you to take charge!”
Yueyao told herself not to panic, to remain calm. She mustn’t panic; maintaining calm was the only way she could help Tingzheng. She had read many dical books, and had specifically asked the doctor about how to reduce fever in children; there had to be a way.
Yueyao silently recited the Heart Sutra in her mind, and after three repetitions, she finally cald down. Once her mind was calm, Yueyao imdiately asked, “Is there any ice in the courtyard? Bring out the ice.” It was August, and there definitely should be ice in the courtyard.
Nanny Deng shook her head and said, “There’s no ice; it just so happened to have been used up during the day. The steward said there’s no ice today, it will be bought and delivered tomorrow.”
Yueyao paused; just a few days ago she had asked soone, and the steward had said that Tingzheng’s supplies were the sa as those of Eldest Young Master and Second Young Master. She hadn’t expected that there would be no ice tonight; it seed too much of a coincidence. She asked, “What about the wine?” She hoped she wouldn’t be told there was no wine either.
Nanny Deng replied, “Miss, there is wine.” Yueyao had instructed Nanny Deng to store so wine in the courtyard. Nanny Deng didn’t know what Yueyao was planning, but she had stored so in the storeroom following Yueyao’s instructions.
Yueyao imdiately said, “Hurry and get it.” Then she pointed at Xi Juan and Xi Yu and ordered, “You two go to the main kitchen and bring so hot water.”
Yueyao had paid special attention to thods of reducing high fever in dical books. She had indeed found so techniques, one involving alcohol cooling and the other using ice. Fearing any mishaps and to be extra cautious, she had specifically asked Doctor Tang. Doctor Tang had confird that both thods described in the books were correct, and he had also supplied her with another thod, warm compresses.
Doctor Tang had explained in detail how warm compresses involved placing a towel warr than body temperature on the chest, limbs, and other areas, changing it every two to three minutes. Frequent towel changes ensured that the temperature remained higher than body temperature. Doctor Tang had said that persisting for a half-hour would have a good effect.
Concerned she might forget, Yueyao had written down all three thods for reducing fever, detailing the process ticulously. Yueyao had a good mory, and rembered each step clearly.
