Chapter 99 Different Meanings

"I know a little bit."

When Xu Yuan answered, he saw the unconscious child on the bed suddenly curled up and looked very uncomfortable.

"Shopkeeper, it's not good. The pulse of this young master is very weak. If we don't use the root of Guixing as medicine, I'm afraid it will be a big mistake."

The man who followed the shopkeeper showed a horrified expression after taking the pulse.

If it was just now, the shopkeeper would have used the root of Guixing as medicine without hesitation. But after hearing what Xu Yuan said, he could explain the effect of the medicinal material so thoroughly and saw at a glance that it was poisoning. It was definitely not as simple as knowing a little about medicine.

"Shopkeeper, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and treat my young master."

The guards who were standing by saw that the shopkeeper was indifferent and hurriedly urged.

"Madam, since you know that this disease is poisoning, is there a way to treat it?"

The shopkeeper looked at Xu Yuan and decided to believe what she said.

"Yes."

"Let me treat it."

Xu Yuan replied.

"You?" The guard was the first to speak out after hearing Xu Yuan's words, his eyes full of vigilance, "Madam, although you can describe the symptoms, how can we trust you."

"If this child is not treated within half an hour, the poison will inevitably invade the whole body. By then, it will be difficult to save him."

Xu Yuan spoke slowly, and glanced at the people present after he finished speaking, "As for whether you believe it or not, it doesn't matter. This is a clinic. The doctor is here. There will always be a way to treat it."

After that, Xu Yuan took out a small part of Guixing root, put it on the table, and then said to Cui Liu, "Let's go."

"Madam, please stay."

Seeing that the child's condition was becoming more and more urgent, and the group of doctors looked completely helpless, the guard closest to Xu Yuan quickly chased forward.

"Madam, please treat my young master."

Xu Yuan looked at the guards, then at the people around him, "Do you believe it now?"

"Madam, why should we..."

Cui Liu was about to speak, but was stopped by Xu Yuan's eyes. Seeing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly asked, "I wonder how Madam plans to treat him, so that I can ask someone to prepare things?"

"No need, I'll bring it myself."

Xu Yuan took out the acupuncture bag she carried with her from her sleeve.

The shopkeeper was even more amazed when he saw this. It turned out that this lady was an expert. No wonder she could explain the effects of medicinal materials so thoroughly.

"Madam, are you going to use acupuncture to treat this young master?"

Xu Yuan nodded.

The shopkeeper wanted to ask more, but saw Xu Yuan looking up, with a look of dissatisfaction in his eyes, "Shopkeeper, since you run this clinic, you must know medical skills. Don't you know the rules of treatment?"

Hearing Xu Yuan's words, the shopkeeper suddenly felt ashamed and just stood aside and watched Xu Yuan treat him quietly.

Time passed by bit by bit. The shopkeeper and the people around the clinic went from being skeptical about Xu Yuan's treatment to being deeply impressed by her acupuncture techniques.

They were all people who knew medicine. To tell whether the other person knew medicine or not, one only needed to look at the way he held the silver needle.

This lady was really amazing.

Although the guards present did not know medicine, they watched the paleness on the child's face disappear little by little, and they also let down their guard against Xu Yuan.

At the end, the silver needle fell, and the poison in the child was also solved. Xu Yuan looked at this and took out the silver needles one by one.

"Madam, how is my young master now?"

Seeing Xu Yuan stand up, the guards' attitudes were different from the previous vigilance, and there was a little more respect in their tone.

"He will be awake in half an hour. Pay more attention to his diet in the future. You won't be so lucky every time."

Xu Yuan said that he had already put away the acupuncture bag and was about to leave with Cui Liu.

"Madam, this is silver. Please accept it."

Seeing Xu Yuan was about to leave, the guard hurriedly took out a silver note from his bosom and handed it over.

Xu Yuan took a look and did not intend to take it.

Seeing this, Cui Liu was puzzled, but she did not dare to act rashly without her wife's order.

"One hundred taels, you are generous."

"Madam, you saved my young master's life, so this is what I should do."

"Take it back."

Xu Yuan said lightly.

"What?" The guard and everyone present were stunned, not quite understanding what Xu Yuan meant.

"I took action because the child's life was in danger. I am also a person with children, so I can't bear to see this."

When the guard heard this, he admired Xu Yuan even more in his heart, and thought of their impoliteness just now, and felt ashamed.

"Madam, I don't know your name. If you don't accept the silver, I will tell my master to come to thank you another day."

"That's even more unnecessary."

"My last name is Xu."

Xu Yuan left without waiting for these people to react.

On the way back to the mansion, Cui Liu followed Xu Yuan, her eyes full of doubts.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan smiled softly and said, "Cui Liu, just tell me what you want to say. I won't get an answer if you look at me like this."

Cui Liu was seen through by Xu Yuan, and she lowered her head a little embarrassedly, and then she expressed her doubts.

"Madam, after all, they were rude first. Your willingness to treat her at this time is a kind act. Although they only gave a hundred taels, it is also what they should do. Why do you..."

"Do you think I am at a disadvantage by not accepting the hundred taels from the guard?"

"Cui Liu, some things cannot be measured by silver, not to mention..."

Xu Yuan looked at the child and thought of her child who was swapped in her previous life.

When she returned to the mansion, she saw the wet nurse and the old woman coming forward.

"Where is Yi'er?" Xu Yuan asked when she saw the wet nurse.

"Madam, the young master has already gone to bed, but Lu Rou came just now."

Cui Liu was a little excited when she heard this, "Madam, Lu Rou must have thought that you were not in the mansion, and came for the young master."

"Nurse, did you let Lu Rou contact the young master?" Cui Liu asked the nurse again.

"No, the guards are here, and even if Miss Lu wants to, she doesn't have the ability to get close."

Cui Liu nodded, and she was relieved. The master sent more people to protect the lady, which was the right thing to do.

But Lu Rou, who went back, felt more and more unwilling to think about this matter. Obviously, she was the woman who had been with Brother Yun'an for the longest time, but now the child was raised by Xu Yuan, and she was suppressed by Chun'er, who was born as a lowly maid.

"Miss Lu, the Marquis is here."

Lu Rou was angry when she heard a report from outside.

When she heard that it was Shen Yun'an who came, Lu Rou changed her aggrieved look and rushed towards Shen Yun'an who entered the house.

"Brother Yun'an, you finally came to see Rou'er. I thought you didn't want me anymore."

As Lu Rou spoke, her tears fell even more, and she looked even more pitiful.

Shen Yun'an embraced Lu Rou in his arms, and seeing her like this, he felt more reluctant.

"Rou'er, I heard that you and Chun'er had another argument?"
