Chapter 127: Finally Soft-Hearted
Feng'er was choking on phlegm and her life was hanging by a thread. The wet nurse tossed her around for a long time, then shook her head helplessly and stepped aside.
The eldest aunt looked up at Hong'er and Yan'er who were standing aside, and felt that both of them were shaking constantly. Not to mention letting them try, she didn't dare to step forward when she saw other people. This was the Third Young Miss, a delicate master. It would be fine if the master's throat was injured. If they couldn't get anything out, the young master would suffocate to death, which would be enough to cause several deaths.
Even if the child's throat was injured, it was better than death. The eldest aunt wanted to get up and go forward by herself, but she found that she was like noodles at this time, her whole body was weak and she couldn't move at all. She sat there, looking at the second master and the second mistress helplessly.
After struggling for a long time, Xiao Feng's limbs began to twitch and jump. Seeing that it was no use, Mengxi became anxious. An idea suddenly occurred to him: why not try to suck it out with his mouth?
Looking at the people around, she couldn't bring herself to say this. Who should she let go and try? Not to mention whether these people were willing to do it, they were clumsy and could not even suck it out. How many of them were like her, who had received artificial respiration and other emergency training in their previous lives? Xiao Feng's face was almost as pale as a purple eggplant. They had time to learn, but Xiao Feng had no time to wait.
After all, it was a living life. She hated the Xiao family, the second master, and the first wife, but the grudges of the adults could not be repaid with the life of an ignorant child. After struggling for a long time, Mengxi finally couldn't bear to watch a young and vibrant life disappear before her eyes.
She couldn't afford to find another servant to bother with, so she turned around and told the maids around her to prepare water and spittoons. Everyone was puzzled as to what the Second Mistress wanted these for. Was she going to flush it out with water? Looking at the Third Mistress's twitching face, could she drink the water? Although they were puzzled, they still had to listen to the master's words, and someone turned around and ran to prepare them.
Everyone saw the Second Madam gently bending down, holding up Xiao Feng's head with both hands, pressing her cheeks hard with her palms, and putting her mouth on Xiao Feng's mouth. When everyone saw this, they opened their eyes wide in surprise and stared at the Second Madam closely.
She tried to move her seat again, took a deep breath, then raised her head with her mouth tightly closed, looking at the maid holding the spittoon. The maid stepped forward and handed her the spittoon. Mengxi opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm. The maid carrying water stepped forward and handed her the water. Mengxi took it and rinsed her mouth several times before she let out a long breath. She turned around and looked at Xiao Feng, only to see that she had finally exhaled a long breath.
Seeing that the Third Miss was able to breathe, the purple on her face was fading away little by little. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had come back to life. The room began to come alive. Mengxi just straightened up and wanted to talk to the old lady, but she saw the eldest aunt crawling to her feet in two steps and kowtowed:
"I thank Second Madam for saving the eldest and third daughters. I will never forget Second Madam's kindness. I am willing to work like a slave to repay Second Madam in this life or the next..."
The eldest concubine Wang had long fallen out of favor, and the Second Master had not been near her for almost two years. She had long seen through the Second Master, and that he was unreliable. She had given up on him and put all her energy on her two daughters, who were her support for the rest of her life. Just now, her daughter was on the verge of death, and she almost felt that her life had been taken out of her body. She saw Second Wife sucking out the phlegm that was holding her daughter with her mouth. The thick phlegm was disgusting to look at, let alone sucking it out with her mouth. Her own mother didn't do it, but Second Wife, a master more noble than herself, did it herself.
At this moment, she seemed to be able to touch the soft heart of the Second Mistress. For a moment, she wished she could give her life to the Second Mistress. She knelt there and even spoke incoherently. From then on, the eldest aunt really treated the Second Mistress wholeheartedly. In her heart, the Second Master was ranked second.
Mengxi saw blood on the eldest aunt's forehead, glanced at the old lady, and saw that she was still sitting there without saying a word, so he quickly reached out and pulled the eldest aunt up, saying:
"Feng'er is also my daughter. Aunt Wang, there is no need to be like this. Get up quickly and take good care of the girl."
The eldest aunt, who was supported by Hong'er and Yan'er, was about to say something when a little maid came to report:
"The doctor is here and is waiting outside the door."
After hearing this, everyone in the room looked at the old lady. They were so angry. If she came now, she would be disappointed if she really wanted to see the doctor. This reminded Mengxi of the police and gangster movies she had seen in her previous life, where the police were always the last to appear.
Oh, it turns out I learned this from the ancients.
The old lady nodded and said, "Since you are here, please come in and let the two young ladies see you. Don't waste time here, go to the hall and wait first. A wet nurse and a maid will be enough here."
After hearing what the old lady said, everyone saw that she had stood up and walked out, supported by the maid, so they all followed her out.
Mengxi was walking out with Zhiqiu. When she looked up, she saw the Second Master standing on the side, so she stopped and let him walk in front. The Second Master looked at her with a complicated expression and opened his mouth, but when he saw several concubines following them, he closed his mouth and turned to walk into the hall.
After everyone left, the nurse lowered the bed curtains and let the doctor who was waiting outside come in. At this time, the two girls' complexions had returned to normal, but they had not yet woken up. After the doctor came in, he asked about the situation, felt the pulse, and checked the girls' complexions before saying:
"The poison has been resolved for the two young ladies, but they are too young and weak, and have been severely damaged by the poison, so they have not woken up yet. I have checked their pulses and they are fine. They will wake up naturally in an hour or two, and they can be slowly recuperated."
After the doctor finished speaking, he prescribed a few tranquilizers, mentioned some things that needed attention, and then left in a hurry.
After sending the doctor away, the wet nurse came to the living room and reported the doctor's words to the old lady who was waiting in the living room. She also gave the old lady the prescription written by the doctor. The old lady took a look at it, ordered people to prepare the medicine according to the prescription, and ordered the wet nurse and the maid who served the young ladies to serve them carefully. If the two young ladies made any mistakes again, they would be driven out of the house immediately. The wet nurse and the maid nodded repeatedly and dared not stay. They hurried into the inner room to look after the young ladies.
Since the doctor said everything was fine, everyone was relieved. The old lady looked at everyone and said:
"Chun'er and Feng'er are both fine. It was just a false alarm. We are all tired. There is no need to stay here. Let's go."
The top leader spoke, and everyone responded quickly. Their tense nerves finally relaxed. The eldest wife had already stood up and was ready to help the old lady. The old lady also helped the maid to stand up. At this time, Cui Yi Niang came forward, knelt on the ground, and said:
"Old Madam, Madam, I have something to report to you."
