Chapter 137 The evil mother-in-law had a stroke!
"Old man?"
Lord Li paused, then stretched out his hand to stroke his graying mustache, "It was not done by me, Qingwan, you think too highly of your uncle."
If not my uncle, then who could it be?
Lord Li saw that she didn't believe him, "Qingwan, you know that although your uncle is an official, he has no connections with the people in the palace. In addition, your uncle doesn't like those who cling together for warmth and go along with the crowd. This matter really wasn't your uncle who helped you. Think carefully about who you have met during this period. Could this noble person be someone you know who helped you but didn't tell you?"
"Someone I know?"
A handsome face instantly flashed through Li Qingwan's mind. Could it be Mu Shenyin? Was he the noble man that Eunuch Wang was talking about all along?
"Madam, could it be Mu..."
"Zi'er, who are you talking about?"
"Uncle, Qingwan went back!"
Li Qingwan didn't want her uncle to know her private affairs, nor did she want her uncle to know that she was planning revenge on the Sima family. Otherwise, she was worried that it would bring disaster to her uncle's family.
"Qingwan, let's eat first before leaving?"
"Uncle, I won't eat anymore. My mother-in-law is still having a headache. I have to go back to see her."
"Then bring some gifts back to your mother-in-law?"
Lord Li still thought that his niece would have a better life in the Sima family, so the relationship between the in-laws had to be maintained, but Li Qingwan didn't want it at all.
After she left, Zi'er asked her, "Madam, that was a little gift from my uncle, why did you refuse it?"
As Li Qingwan got on the carriage, she looked at Zi'er and said, "The old woman is not qualified to be a relative. She won't be able to use those good things in the future."
Zi'er: "..."
Why did the lady say that? Is the old woman going to die?
"Madam, why don't we go ask Boss Mu if he can help us out?"
"Mu Shenyin?"
Li Qingwan didn't go looking for him first, but thought of a way to meet him in the evening. She also had to make new pills for him and immediately check who had replaced her medicine, causing Mu Shenyin to be poisoned.
"Go back to Sima Mansion first."
The master and servant were just about to leave when they heard an anxious voice not far away, "Madam, I finally found you. Something happened to the old lady!"
The housekeeper came hurriedly and asked Li Qingwan to go back quickly, but Li Qingwan figured out something and pretended to be nervous, "Housekeeper, please speak slowly, what happened?"
"It's the old lady, she's going to die!"
"dying?"
Dusk is falling and the moon is high in the sky.
When Li Qingwan arrived at Sima Mansion, there were many carriages parked in front of the mansion. They were all people from the old woman's family. When she got off, Zi'er came hurriedly, "Madam, you are back. Something big has happened!"
"Okay, let's go see what's going on first."
Li Qingwan walked towards the old woman's residence calmly. The yard was full of people. In the luxurious room, a group of women gathered around the old woman's bed, talking in a buzzing voice.
"Sister, what happened to you? Why did you have a stroke?"
"Yeah, why is it that the more I take this medicine, the worse it gets!"
"Ling'er, what medicine did you make for your aunt?"
Sima Guling couldn't explain it clearly, "Aunt, I don't know either!"
"How did you make the medicine, you damn girl?"
"I……"
"Oh, you can't put red dates in this medicine!"
what?
The doctor beside him immediately saluted and said, "Madam's stroke is related to the medicine. How could you add red dates to it? They are mutually reinforcing and counteracting!"
"What, doctor, that's impossible. I just ate some dates, how could it be..."
"Miss, how can you put the medicine randomly? This is going to cause trouble!"
"I……"
"Sima Guling, it's you!"
Suddenly, Sima Yue's voice came from outside. Sima Yue was still imprisoned in the ancestral hall, but he didn't expect that his mother had a problem with the medicine. This made him very anxious. He wanted to come and see what was going on, but he didn't expect to hear the doctor say that Sima Guling's increase in medicine caused his mother to have a stroke...
"Brother Yue, it's not me!"
Sima Guling had never thought that just adding some dates would make things so serious. Sima Yue slapped Sima Guling in the face as soon as he came in, "You killed my mother, do you know that?"
"Brother Yue, I..."
"I was wronged!"
"Stop arguing, doctor, think of a solution. My sister is the head of the family, she can't be paralyzed in bed!"
"Yes, doctor, you must find a way to save my sister."
Several of the old woman's sisters all came, but the old woman was lying motionless on the bed, tears streaming down her face. Her lower body could no longer move, and only her upper body still had some sensation.
"Alright, stop arguing. Li Qingwan hasn't come back yet?"
"Mother……"
Outside, Li Qingwan, who had eavesdropped enough, quickly led people in. When Sima Yue saw her coming in, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Qingwan, my mother has had a stroke!"
"Sister-in-law, please help me say something. This matter has nothing to do with me. I made the medicine according to the recipe you gave me!"
"Miss San, what you said is not right. You changed the prescription without permission, didn't you?"
"Aqing, you..."
"Mother!"
Li Qingwan pretended to be worried and walked to the bedside. When she saw the old woman slumped on the bed, she felt so relieved at that moment. The fourth dose of medicine had taken effect.
very good!
"Qingwan, please find a way to make me better. I don't want to be a cripple!"
Old Lady Sima now placed all her hopes on Li Qingwan. She believed that Li Qingwan would not ignore her life or death. After all, she still had many treasures in her hands that she had not taken out.
If Li Qingwan wants it, she must please her!
"Don't worry, mother. I will find a way to make you better."
After saying this, she immediately stood up and turned around, looking at Sima Guling coldly, "Doctor, what caused the old lady's illness?"
"Madam, it was the Third Miss who changed the prescription at will. Red dates and Platycodon grandiflorum are incompatible. If they are mixed together, it will cause hemiplegia and stroke like the old lady, which cannot be cured by medicine!"
what?
This made Li Qingwan immediately look at the frightened Sima Guling, and she immediately swung her hand and slapped him. This slap almost made Sima Guling fall to the ground...
"Sima Guling, you are so bold. What on earth do you want to do? Why did you change the prescription I gave you? Do you really want to kill your aunt?"
Sima Guling was a little dazed after being beaten. When she came to her senses, she immediately covered her painful face and said, "Sister-in-law, I didn't mean it. I didn't know things would turn out like this. I just wanted to..."
"That's enough. You've disappointed me so much. Your aunt has now suffered a stroke and is paralyzed because of you. How can I forgive you?"
