Divine Doctor: Daughter of the First Wife (Yang Shi Liu) 801

859

There was nothing that the maidservants and grannies in the head madam’s yard could do. After thinking a bit, since the master’s absurdities have already been exposed, perhaps the situation in the madam’s room could also not be hidden. Forget it, if things were to get messy, it might as well all become a mess together. Who knew, it might even cause the elder madam to die from anger. From this day forward, their madam would be the one with all of the power in the inner courtyard. They would no longer need to pay any heed to the elder madam.

It was only now that housekeeper Liu understood why he had been stopped earlier. Who knew that the head madam would not even let go of her own husband’s nephew! But it was strange. With that much commotion, why was it that neither one woke up and slept so soundly?

He stepped forward and called out a few times, but there was still no reaction from the people in bed. The head maidservant from earlier also stepped forward at this time and said to him: “Stop calling, it seems that she has been given some sort of drug. We’ve called out to her for the entire day, yet she has not woken. Just now, you said that something also happened with master’s side. What exactly is going on? Why has so much happened in one night?”

Housekeeper Liu was also filled with worry. Over the past few days, he had heard that Imperial Daughter Ji An had arrived in Yu Zhou, and he had always felt a little uneasy. The entire manor had been completely redeployed, and even the hidden guards and soldiers were increased, but he still felt uneasy. Who knew that something would really happen. Although the incident had just occurred, why did he feel that this could not be unrelated to Imperial Daughter Ji An?

The elder madam was being treated by a doctor and managed to recover. The elder madam did not argue over it. After waking up, she immediately sat up with the support of the servants and began to inquire in great detail about Teng Ping’s situation. As for her daughter-in-law sleeping with her grandson, she chose to not think about it. After all, compared to her son, a daughter-in-law was really not worth much. Even that grandson was not the son of the first wife. It was fine. In the end, this was nothing more than a family scandal. Later on, she would get rid of that daughter-in-law; however, she was still very worried about Teng Ping’s side, as she asked the doctors: “What exactly happened on master’s side?”

One of the doctors said: “By the looks of it, it seems that he was given some sort of aphrodisiac. The effect of the drug was too fierce. In order for it to wear off, it will take another six to ten hours, but we don’t know if master’s body will be able to last for that long.” There was nothing that they could do. Having been given an aphrodisiac, unless a very primitive method was used to relieve it, there really were no other methods.

The elder madam angrily shouted: “Report it! Immediately go and report it! What sort of person would dare to drug the lord prefecture guard? This is clearly attempted murder! Report it! Immediately report it!”

Once these words came out, everyone was dazed and very helpless. Report it? Report it to whom? Housekeeper Liu summoned some courage and said: “Elder madam, in Ji An Prefecture, our master is the highest-ranking official. With something happening to him, there’s no place to report it.”

“Then go outside Ji An Prefecture to report it! Go to Yu Zhou! Go to Yun Province!”

“Has elder madam forgotten? Ever since four generations ago, the Teng family has retracted its family register from Da Shun. To Da Shun, we are no longer their citizens. If anything happened, we would resolve it ourselves. Da Shun does not care about it at all.”
