Chapter 118: A Single Strike Overturns the Medicine Bowl
The little girl had fine eyebrows and small eyes, when she smiled her eyebrows and eyes curved, looking very clever, indeed she was the little Cui of her third brother's courtyard.
Yun Jingchu took over the small paper package with a confused expression and asked, "Third Brother, what's this for?"
"I don't know either, but listening to Third Master is always right, and Third Master won't harm you." Little Cui said with a confident expression.
"Oh... I see." Yun Jingchu tightened his grip on the wrapped paper, a thoughtful expression on his face.
"That slave has left, Miss, you'd better put the things inside quickly." Little Cui said as she walked out.
Yun Jingchu sent away Xiao Cui, then opened the small paper package and found it was white medicine powder. Her eyes sparkled slightly, she got up, lifted the lid of the sand pot, and cautiously looked outside the door to make sure no one was watching her before pouring the contents of the package into the pot...
After doing all this, Yun Jingchu covered the pot with a lid, stuffed the paper package into his sleeve, and then patiently waited for the fire in the stove to go out. Only then did he take down the pot and put the sand pot and medicine bowl together on a tray. Yun Jingchu carried the tray towards the main house.
All the way to the end of the medicine into the lady's bedroom, found Zhao Mama and Yun Taiyu are all there.
Mrs. Zhao sat on the stool beside the bed, using a damp towel to help Madame wipe her face and hands, while Yun Caiyu sat at the foot of the bed massaging Madame's legs and feet.
When Yun Jing first came in, Yun Sai Yu excitedly stood up, "Is the medicine ready? Hurry up and feed it to Mother, the imperial physician said that as long as she takes the medicine three times, Mother will wake up."
"Miss, don't be in a hurry." Zhao's mother also had a smiling face, then turned her head to instruct Yun Jingchu, "Fifth Miss, since the medicine was brewed by you, would you please pour it into a bowl and bring it over? It can also be considered as your filial piety."
Yun Jing nodded slightly, put the tray on the table, and according to Zhao Mama's instructions, slowly poured the medicinal liquid from the pot into the bowl. In the process, due to her nervousness, she spilled quite a bit.
After great difficulty in brewing the medicine, Yun Jingchu carefully carried a bowl of medicine to the bedside with trembling hands.
Mrs. Zhao asked Yun Jingchu to wait first, then carefully helped the unconscious Madame sit up and lean against her, before turning to Yun Jingchu, "Miss Wu, I'll have to trouble you to feed Madame her medicine."
"Good..." Yun Jingchu carefully picked up the slightly hot medicine bowl, his face tense, and scooped out a spoonful of medicine. He blew on it gently and then, with trembling hands, fed it to the doctor's mouth.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open with a bang, and someone rushed in like a gust of wind, knocking the medicine bowl out of Yun Jingchu's hand.
Yun Jing let out a sudden cry and quickly got up to dodge, the scalding medicine barely missing her leg.
The medicine bowl crashed to the ground with a loud "bang", shattering into pieces, and the dark liquid splashed everywhere, staining Yun Jing's hem with several spots.
"What's wrong, brother?"
"Second Master, why..."
Yun Xiao Yu and Zhao Mama exclaimed in unison.
Not bad, it's Yun Jinghua who has arrived.
Yun Jinghua's face was furious, her hand pointed straight at Yun Jinchu, and she said in a loud voice: "Jinchu, you have a big nerve, how dare you put poison in your mother's medicine?"
Yun Jingchu's face turned pale, she let out a loud cry and rushed towards the door, Yun Jinghua tried to stop her but was pushed away by Yun Jingchu, stumbling backwards.
"Seize him!" Yun Jinghua shouted angrily.
Several old women rushed in from outside the door. Two of them took a step forward and grabbed Yun Jingchu, one on the left and one on the right.
"Let me go, let me go! I want to go back! I don't want to stay here anymore!" Yun Jingchu struggled violently.
"What's going on again?" Yun Shangren's stern voice with a hint of anger came at just the right time.
