Chapter 805: Chapter 807: Killing Two Birds with One Stone_1 Chapter 805: Chapter 807: Killing Two Birds with One Stone_1 “Second sister, how are you feeling?” ng Jinse asked as she went to support ng Jinxia, her face showing sheer terror.
Normally steadfast, now she, too, was clearly discombobulated, proving the adage that concern breeds chaos.
The others quickly gathered around, with soone exclaiming, “Miss ng has fainted!
Quickly, fetch the doctor!”
Bai Ruozhu hurried forward and pulled ng Jinse aside, whispering, “Don’t move her just yet.”
ng Jinxia suffered from heart disease, and shaking her when she was ill was absolutely not advised.
However, Bai Ruozhu rembered that the old lady of the ng Residence had kept this a secret, so she stopped herself from disclosing it in front of everyone.
She stepped closer to check ng Jinxia’s pulse, her brow furrowing slightly.
Given that ng Jinxia had been taking the dicine she prescribed, she shouldn’t have succumbed to an attack so easily.
And yet, here she was, having collapsed suddenly—this was clearly not normal.
“How is she?
What’s wrong with Xiaxia?” the old lady of the ng Residence asked, her voice filled with worry.
As soon as Bai Ruozhu heard this, she realized what was happening and said, “The second miss is just a bit anemic and didn’t eat much this morning, which is why she fainted so suddenly.
Let perform acupuncture on her, and after about half a month of care, she’ll be fine.”
“That’s good to hear, good to hear,” the old lady of the ng Residence said with a relief, patting her chest.
As ng Jinxia’s legitimate mother, Wang Miaoshuang also showed her concern by drawing close.
However, her mouth betrayed her worry, “We should still get another doctor to take a look, lest soone’s inadequate dical skills delay Xiaxia’s treatnt.”
Without even glancing up, Bai Ruozhu replied, “Madam ng, allow to attend to the second miss first—that is the most pressing matter at the mont.”
Without looking back, she began inserting needles into ng Jinxia.
To the onlookers, she said it was anemia, just a bit of blood deficiency, but what ng Jinxia was really experiencing was an episode of her heart disease.
If she wasn’t treated quickly, it could be dangerous.
After a set of acupuncture, ng Jinxia’s complexion wasn’t as deathly pale as before.
After a while, she slowly opened her eyes, only to realize that she was surrounded by onlookers.
Being shy by nature, her face imdiately reddened.
“I apologize for causing you concern,” she said, her voice faint, and her face flushed, as she bowed her head.
Bai Ruozhu patted the back of her hand and said, “You fainted due to blood deficiency; you must go back to your room and rest properly.
I’ll have soone stew a blood-nourishing soup for you—you need to recuperate well.”
ng Jinxia paused montarily before smiling gratefully at Bai Ruozhu and saying, “Thank you, Sister Ruozhu.”
Bai Ruozhu joined hands with ng Jinse to help ng Jinxia up.
Being slender, it was easy for the two to assist her.
A flicker of distress crossed the old lady’s eyes as she said, “Good child, go back to freshen up and rest.
You mustn’t be naughty and skip als again.”
“I will rember grandmother’s teachings,” ng Jinxia replied obediently.
“Grandmother, may I take the second sister back?” ng Jinse asked.
The elderly lady nodded in agreent.
Wang Miaoshuang, however, with evident displeasure, said, “Have a proper doctor visit the second miss to examine her thoroughly.”
“There’s no need.
I trust Ruozhu’s dical skills,” the old lady of the ng Residence said coldly.
Wang Miaoshuang’s face fell.
“Mother, Xiaxia is your own granddaughter.
She fainted just like that, it can’t possibly be simply due to blood deficiency.
Don’t let yourself be fooled.
If it’s sothing serious, wouldn’t that delay Xiaxia’s treatnt?”
ng Jinse knew her mother’s temperant best and hurriedly said, “Mother, Sister Jinxia is usually in good health.
It was my fault for visiting her too early today, hauling her off to pay respects to grandmother before she could finish her breakfast.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have fainted like this.”
Wang Miaoshuang glared at her own daughter with anger, clearly her own flesh and blood, yet she was defending soone else—a despicable offspring of a concubine.
Did she want to enrage her own mother to death?
Not daring to look at her mother, ng Jinse quickly left with ng Jinxia.
The old Lady ng exchanged a glance with Bai Ruozhu, both noticing that the other had sothing to say.
“Alright, there’s no big deal, everyone please continue to enjoy your als and have fun.
I’m getting old and a bit tired, I will go rest for a while,” said the Old Lady ng.
Bai Ruozhu stepped forward, “Grandmother, let help you.”
Soon, maids ca to clean up the scattered items and rearranged the setup.
Bai Ruozhu and the old lady walked away, and behind them, Wang Miaoshuang, without any hesitation, cursed under her breath, “Brown-noser!”
So onlookers who heard it showed a look of interest in the commotion but nobody dared to join in.
Who didn’t know that the lady of the ng Residence had a bad temper?
Only a fool would unnecessarily court trouble.
Once they were far enough, Bai Ruozhu asked in a low voice, “Grandmother, does Xiaxia have any allergies?
And who in the residence knows about her condition?”
“I haven’t heard of any allergies.
Do you think her fainting today was unusual?” The old lady asked without much surprise in her expression, showing that she too had had her suspicions.
Indeed, after decades imrsed in the grand manor, she could still discern so matters clearly.
“Xiaxia has been taking dicine regularly, she shouldn’t have suddenly fainted like this unless she was affected by so external factor.
Perhaps she ate sothing detrintal to her heart disease, or she consud or inhaled sothing she’s allergic to,” said Bai Ruozhu.
The old lady’s eyes deepened and she let out a heavy sigh, “It’s kind of a joke to talk about affairs in our residence, lately the Lord has been at odds with Princess Wang, hence he has been spending more ti in the room of Xiaxia’s birth mother, Ding the concubine.
I’m afraid…”
Bai Ruozhu imdiately understood, “It seems that the lady of the residence already knows about Xiaxia’s heart disease, and knows that I am treating her.
Her move is targeted at and Xiaxia.”
“The only ones who know about Xiaxia’s situation are you, , Nanny Lu, Xiaxia, and Jinse,” said the old lady as she was helped into Leisurely Abode by Bai Ruozhu, though she looked exceptionally weary on her face.
“Jinse and Nanny Lu can be trusted.
Probably Xiaxia’s daily dication was noticed by a maid by her side.
There must be soone planted by the lady of the residence,” Bai Ruozhu comnted with a twist of her mouth, grateful that her own family was not like the ng Residence, or else it would be unbearably vexing.
The old lady nodded, “I will have soone look into this thoroughly.”
After leaving Leisurely Abode, Bai Ruozhu walked back toward the party when she ran into ng Jinse.
At first, ng Jinse didn’t see her—she was walking briskly, frowning deeply as if troubled by sothing.
“Jinse!” Bai Ruozhu called out to her.
She snapped out of her thoughts and smiled at Bai Ruozhu, but the smile was very bitter.
“Sister Ruozhu, do you believe ?” ng Jinse suddenly asked.
Bai Ruozhu walked up to her and took her hand, “I believe you.
Why wouldn’t I?”
To Bai Ruozhu, ng Jinse, who was only fifteen, was just a young girl.
In modern tis, she would probably have just finished middle school.
Rather than smiling at her words, ng Jinse’s eyes reddened and she said with a choke, “It really wasn’t .
My mother is just too obstinate… I simply can’t persuade her…”
