Arriving at the madame's courtyard, Qiao Liangjin found the doctor standing outside the door in the corridor. He frowned and said, ”What's going on? How can the doctor be at the door?”
The doctor could only shake his head with a depressed expression on his face. Finally, he clasped his hands together and said, ”This old man is useless. I'll have to invite the prime minister to treat you with something else.”
Qiao Liangjin pushed open the door, looked at the few people who were sitting inside and asked: ”What happened? ”Doctor Bai has always been taking care of Old Madam. Why is he standing outside the door today? How did you two entertain Doctor Bai?”
Yun Chu was taking care of the madame, and upon hearing Qiao Liangjin's question, he quickly replied, ”Doctor Bai doesn't know why the madame suddenly fainted, so …” At this point, his eyes drifted over to Qiao Mao Shan who was sitting upright.
At this point, Qiao Maoshan already had the appearance of a filial son, snorting: ”Insolent doctor, I don't know how you took the silver from our house, but you can't even tell what the old lady's illness is.”
Qiao Liangjin was delighted. Of course, they did not know that if there were any martial arts in this room, they would be able to tell that she had pointed at the old mistress' acupoints. Unfortunately, this room was filled with scholars.
Qiao Liangjin turned around and pulled the doctor's medicine box, and entered the room. Although the doctor was old, he still had a tough character, and refused to put down the medicine box. She kept repeating the words she had just said: ”This old man is useless, please find someone else.”
Qiao Zheng glared at Qiao Maoshan and calmly said: ”Doctor Bai, foolish brother has offended you. Please forgive him. Please let the madame have a look.”
The doctor was furious at first and was ready to leave when the first minister arrived. He did not expect Qiao Zheng's tone to be so respectful as his anger vanished without a trace. Putting down the medicine box on his shoulder, he muttered: ”Fine, on account of the first minister, this old man will see it again.”
Qiao Liangjin approached the madame with a smile. While everyone's eyes were on the old doctor, she touched the acupoint and felt the body of the man beneath her quiver again.
The old doctor sat down and started to check her pulse. He then took out a silver needle and pierced it into the old mistress' acupoint. Not long later, he heard the old lady moaning.
The doctor pulled out a needle and said, ”The madame is too old. It is cold. Don't go out and catch cold. Take care of her in this room.”
Qiao Liangjin asked softly, ”Yunchu, Wen'er, did you all hear that?”
Yun Chu quickly replied, ”This servant understands.”
Qiao Liangjin glanced at Wen'er and threatened her, ”Wen'er, you have to make sure that no one is worried. If the madame falls again like this, I might cause you trouble.”
Her voice was soft and gentle, but it was like a sharp knife that stabbed into Wen'er's heart.
Qiao Liangjin was a smart person. During the days at the Prime Minister's Estate, she had long figured out the thoughts of everyone else.
After asking A'Bai to send the old doctor out, she turned and looked at Qiao Mao Shan. She smiled and said: ”Second Uncle, why don't you take care of the madame tonight? ”My dad has been busy outside for the whole day, but you see, there's nothing much to do other than playing. Now, I can use you.”
Qiao Zheng coughed twice when he heard Qiao Liangjin's words. ”Jin'er.”
Qiao Liangjin acted as if she did not know what was going on. She blinked her eyes and asked with a smile: ”What's wrong? Father? Did you catch a cold outside? Did you catch a cold? ”Then go rest.”
He then called for Ah Kuan, ”Send the old master back to rest.”
When Qiao Maoshan heard that Qiao Zheng was leaving to take care of the old granny lying on the bed, he thought to himself that it would be good if nothing happened to her. If she had gotten sick in the middle of the night and something happened to her, he would take responsibility.
Qiao Liangjin knew what Qiao Maoshan was thinking and smiled, ”Second Uncle, the madame is your own mother, and the one she loves the most is you.”
Lin Fangli also echoed, ”Our family's Mao Shan is still taking care of people. He can't even take care of himself.”
Qiao Liangjin's gaze fell on Qiao Zhijun, who was rubbing his chattering stomach. He smiled and said, ”Then how about you let second brother take care of him?”
Qiao Zhijun was stunned. He didn't expect Qiao Liangjin to find him. He waved his hand and said, ”I have no ability to take care of people. Forget it. When Old Madam wakes up, I can talk to her.”
Qiao Liangjin spread out her hands and looked at the people in the room. She smiled and said, ”Look, no one wants to be here, right?”
Qiao Zheng sighed and patted Qiao Liangjin's shoulder, her voice tinged with fatigue. ”Fine then, let me take care of the madame. You can all go rest.”
As if he had received a special pardon, he hurriedly stood up, holding Qiao Zhiyong in one hand and Lin Fangli in the other, as he walked towards the door, he said, ”Then Big Brother, thank you for your trouble. We haven't had any dinner, we'll definitely come when Old Madam tomorrow wakes up.”
After a while, the family of three was no longer to be seen.
Qiao Liangjin yawned and said, ”The madame is fine. Eldest brother, you must work hard today and take care of her with father.”
Qiao Ruo Ying had always treated her little sister as a god. She nodded and focused on sitting by the bed, staring at the madame.
Qiao Liangjin thought about it for a moment and decided to leave the makeup with the madame. After giving her orders, he returned to the Golden Flower Pavilion with Purple Smoke.
Just as he walked into the Flowergold Pavilion, he saw a lady dressed in purple standing at the entrance. Qiao Liangjin's brows were slightly knitted. Why did this Caihe come to his doorstep?
When Caihe saw Qiao Liangjin from afar, she hurried over. Before she even reached him, she had already bowed and said, ”Your servant greets Miss.”
