AWB Chapter 216 Inspection
Chapter 216 Inspection
At once, everyone turned their heads to look and saw that Madam Sun's granddaughter, Sun Yahui, had a flushed face and suddenly fainted.
Fortunately, she had been standing next to Old Madam Sun. Although Old Madam Sun was old, she still managed to grab the person.
Otherwise, given their position, Sun Yahui would probably have fallen and gotten a bloody head.
Madam Sun was dragged down, still holding her granddaughter tightly in her arms: "Sister Hui! Sister Hui!"
Madam Shen had always been closest to Madam Sun. The two had been close friends for many years. Seeing this happening suddenly, her face turned pale and she said in a deep voice, "Quick! Call in the doctor!"
Shen Shuyi stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Grandma, there is an imperial physician among the guests here today. Why don't we ask the imperial physician to help with the diagnosis? This will be faster."
"Yes, yes, you are right!" Old Madam Shen looked up, but because the imperial physician was a male guest, the old lady was a little confused when she looked at him, and had no idea who she should look for.
Second House Zhang had some impression of the person, but she didn't remember who was here. Just as she was about to look through the guest list for the banquet, she heard Shen Shuyi say in a deep voice, "Excuse me, is Master Zhang Xu here?"
Zhang Xu was farther away. He was not interested in calligraphy and painting. In addition, there were many people gathered in the inner courtyard, so he and a few colleagues just watched the excitement from afar. At this moment, he only knew that something went wrong, but he had not yet reacted that someone had fainted.
Zhang Xu was suddenly called by name. He was stunned for a few seconds, frowned and hurried forward: "Miss Shen Er, may I ask what happened?"
The crowd made way for them, and Zhang Xu didn't need to wait for Shen Shuyi's answer. He had already seen the Sun family members who were almost submerged in the crowd.
Old Madam Sun didn't care about her image and sat down on the ground. Madam Sun and Lord Sun also hurried to her side.
At this moment, the girl in Madam Sun's arms had her eyes closed and her face was abnormally flushed. At the same time, light red patches appeared on her face, like wheals.
"It's an allergy! Hui Jie'er has always been in frail health and is usually allergic to osmanthus. I don't know what she ate by mistake today!" Mrs. Sun, who was usually taciturn, spoke in a deep voice. It was obvious that she knew her daughter best.
Zhang Xu hurried forward and squatted on one side. He first felt Sun Yahui's pulse, then lifted Sun Yahui's eyelids and took a look. He said in a deep voice: "Mrs. Sun is right. She is indeed allergic. It's just that I didn't bring a medicine box with me when I came to the banquet. This..."
Shen Jingchuan frowned, obviously not expecting such a mess to happen at his own banquet.
Especially since the people in trouble were from the Sun family, who had always been on good terms with the Shen family, this made him quite angry. He turned his head, looked at the housekeeper, and said in a deep voice: "Go get the medicine box and ask the doctor..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang from the second house had already hurriedly sent someone to hand the medicine box to Zhang Xu, and said in a deep voice: "Master Zhang, is there anything else you need?"
Shen Jingchuan was slightly stunned, even Old Madam Shen was the same.
Neither of them had expected that Zhang Jinping would be so well prepared. However, Sun Yahui's allergy was a little inappropriate...
But it seems that Sister Yi is in charge of the meal.
Zhang Xu opened the medicine box and saw several commonly used pills and silver needles inside. He immediately fed Sun Yahui a pill, then took out the silver needles and inserted them into several acupuncture points.
The group stared with bated breath; you could hear a pin drop in the courtyard.
After a while, the blush on Sun Yahui's face gradually faded, the wheezes became smaller, and then the gentle and dignified girl's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.
Old Madam Sun heaved a long sigh of relief, tears welling up in her cloudy eyes: "My dear! You are scaring me to death!"
Sun Yahui forced a smile, as if she wanted to comfort Old Madam Sun, but she found it difficult to speak. Her face gradually turned from red to pale, and there was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.
Old Madam Sun was also scared and broke into a cold sweat. She tightly grasped Sun Yahui's hand and said, "Why is she allergic to something for no reason? She hasn't had an attack for a while!"
There was a gloomy flash in Qin Xuerong's eyes, but her expression was full of concern.
She stepped forward and said, "We all know that Sister Hui is allergic to osmanthus, but we don't know what went wrong and let Sister Hui go through this. Madam Sun, don't worry, if this is our Shen family's responsibility, we will never shirk it and we will definitely take responsibility to the end."
Although Old Lady Sun and Madam Sun looked unhappy, they did not act aggressively because of their long-term friendship with the Shen family.
Besides, Qin Xuerong had already said this, and it was clear that she would give them an explanation, so they just had to wait.
Old Madam Shen also said, "Quickly bring a chair over, help Hui girl to have a good rest, and prepare some honey water."
Sun Yahui's condition gradually calmed down, but her cheeks and arms were still obviously itchy.
Qin Xuerong looked at this scene, turned to look at Shen Shuyi, and said in a deep voice: "Sister Yi, you are responsible for the purchase and preparation of the dishes this time. I remember deliberately telling you that Sister Hui is allergic to osmanthus. Did you keep it in mind?"
As soon as Qin Xuerong finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Shen Shuyi again.
Shen Jingchuan and Old Madam Shen frowned. Because of the previous birthday gift incident, they did not speak immediately this time.
Zhang from the second wife was worried, always feeling that things were not that simple.
Shen Shuyi looked calm and said in a gentle voice, "Of course, I have kept my mother's instructions in mind. Miss Sun is allergic to osmanthus, Lord Feng and Madam Zhang are allergic to beans, and Old Madam Chen will have stomach problems if she eats spicy food. Lords Sun and Wu cannot drink alcohol."
Upon hearing this, the group nodded one after another, as if Shen Shuyi's words had convinced them a lot.
Qin Xuerong also nodded, but her expression was still solemn: "If that's the case, then it couldn't be better, but the incident happened in the Shen Mansion, and Miss Sun's life is hanging by a thread. Our Shen family must give an explanation."
"Mother is right. Shuyi also thinks that a thorough investigation should be conducted." Shen Shuyi's almond-shaped eyes were clear, and there was a hint of amusement in his gaze as he looked directly at Qin Xuerong.
Qin Xuerong turned to look at the imperial physician Zhang Xu and said in a gentle voice, "I wonder if you can ask Sir Zhang to examine her carefully for us to confirm what caused Miss Sun's allergy? So that we can give the Sun family an explanation."
Zhang Xu hesitated for a moment, then bowed and said, "I am only the imperial physician. Miss Sun is allergic to osmanthus, so she may need the help of the imperial chef, Lord Wang."
Needless to say, the imperial chef is an old hand in the palace. He is very good at tasting dishes and can easily taste the various ingredients.
Wang Ming stepped forward and said, "Then I will respectfully obey your command."
After he finished speaking, everyone made way, and Zhang Xu and Wang Ming began to examine the cakes, fruits, vegetables, and drinks on the long table.
Qin Xuerong stood aside, a calculating look in her eyes.
The tampered items were naturally not on the long table, after all, the banquet had already been cleared away. However, it would be too easy to find the source right away, which would arouse suspicion.
