“Ahhhhhh! Don’t come over here, get out, all of you get out!”

A scream was heard from the room, followed by the sound of a vase falling to the ground.

Mrs. Zhao didn't care about anything else and rushed into the room with her maid Dingxiang.

The porcelain in the room was scattered all over the floor, but there was no one in sight. She followed the sound and searched anxiously, and finally saw the shivering girl huddled behind the bed curtain.

She pulled the bed curtains to cover herself completely. Through the curtains, she saw Madam Zhao approaching. As if she saw something horrible, she cried out in resistance: "Get out, all of you get out! Mother! Mother, save me!"

The girl shouted at the top of her lungs. When Mrs. Zhao heard the word "mother", tears welled up in her eyes: "Zhenzhen, mother is here."

"Ahhhh!"

The girl didn't recognize the woman in front of her at all. She only saw a green-faced, fang-toothed evil ghost walking towards her with his arms open. She was so scared that she stepped back repeatedly, crying and shouting with despair.

"Madam, you can't go forward. The young lady's symptoms haven't been relieved yet. You can't force your way in!"

When the doctor heard the noise, he didn't care about the difference between men and women, and hurried in to stop it, and pulled Madam Zhao and the maid out of the room.

"Didn't they say the poison has been removed? Why is Zhenzhen still like this? When will she wake up? It's been three days. If she continues like this, she will go crazy!"

The lady's beautiful face became very haggard in just a few days, and the hair on her temples showed signs of turning slightly gray.

She grabbed the doctor's sleeve and refused to let go, insisting on a precise answer.

Dingxiang stood aside and looked at her lady like this, and couldn't help feeling distressed.

The young lady started to feel dizzy and nauseous three days ago, and kept saying she was sleepy. She asked a doctor to come to her house for a check-up, but at first he couldn't figure out what was wrong and just said that she might have an upset stomach.

The next day, the symptoms became more severe. She started to have headaches and stomachaches, and was often woken up at night. She would hold her hands and say with fear on her face that she saw little ghosts jumping on the roof.

Dingxiang hurriedly went to ask the lady for help, and the lady found the best Taoist priest in the Taoist temple to come and exorcise the demon, but it was of no use.

The lady is still the same. Even now, no one can get close to her. If anyone gets close to her, she will break down and scream, and in serious cases, she will faint.

The doctor checked her pulse again and said there were signs of mild poisoning. He cooked a detoxifying soup for her to drink. Although the young lady had drunk the medicine, it was already the third day and she still had no improvement.

The entire Zhao Mansion seemed to be shrouded in a gloomy haze. During the past few days, everyone in the house was on high alert and didn't dare to breathe.

The lady had not slept for three days and three nights. Dingxiang saw it and was worried, but she hated herself as a small servant and could not help at all.

"This poison is strange. There was no sign of the disease on the first day. It was not until the second day when I came here that I realized that the young lady was poisoned."

"But... Miss, the food you ate that day was tested with a silver needle and there was no problem. She also drank the detoxifying soup. Logically, the toxins in her body should have been eliminated. I don't know why this happened."

"Madam, now we can only hope that the people you sent to the county have found a 50-year-old ginseng, and can still keep the young lady alive until the master invites a famous doctor back."

The doctor sighed. He had never encountered such a strange disease in his many years of medical practice. He just hoped that the person sent by the lady would be able to gain something, otherwise...

I'm afraid the lady can't hold on...

Mrs. Zhao had no idea how many times she had heard this kind of answer in the past three days. She had no appetite to listen any more, let alone take a rest.

She stood blankly in front of Zhao Ruozhen's room. When she heard the noise inside gradually subside, her tense heart finally relaxed a little.

The next second, the girl's mad scream was heard again. She closed her eyes in pain, and two lines of tears flowed from her red and swollen eyes.

Mrs. Zhao, who used to be decisive and capable of taking charge of things on her own, is no longer as calm and composed as usual.

........

"Madam, Madam!" The housekeeper ran over excitedly, "Manager Zhang from the Heshun Restaurant is here to visit!"

As soon as he received the news, he rushed over and before he had time to catch his breath, he heard his wife say coldly: "No!"

Mrs. Zhao refused outright. She no longer had the heart to meet the owner of Heshun Restaurant. Even if a huge business came to her, she would not be interested!

"Madam, Manager Zhang brought a couple here and said they picked ginseng in the mountains!" The housekeeper was so scared that he quickly blurted out the second half of the sentence.

"I just don't know if she has 50 years, so I want to ask a doctor to take a look. If she has, our young lady can be saved!"

As the butler spoke, the muscles on his face were twitching with excitement. His young lady was saved!

"What?" Mrs. Zhao turned her head suddenly. She knew that Zhenzhen would be safe. She said excitedly, "Quick, go and invite him in!"

"No, I'll go myself." After saying that, she lifted up her skirt and ran away. The old housekeeper and Dingxiang chased after her with difficulty.

As soon as they arrived at the door, Mrs. Zhao recognized the couple instantly. Wasn't this the lady she met at the grain store that day? It turned out that there really was such a wonderful fate in this world.

She nodded slightly to the other party. Cui Yunzhu was also a little surprised. Although her husband had told her about it on the way, she was actually thinking that it couldn't be such a coincidence.

Who knew it would be such a coincidence!

Cui Yunzhu knew the situation was urgent and there was no time to say more. She took out a cloth bag from behind and handed it to the doctor. The doctor opened the cloth bag tremblingly and saw the two ginsengs placed casually inside. His eyelids twitched.

This little woman is really, oh, nevermind.

He could tell at a glance that both ginseng plants were over 50 years old, and the larger one was even 70 years old. He nodded to his wife and said, "Madam, both of these plants are over 50 years old, and the larger one is even 70 years old!"

When Manager Zhang heard this, he knew that the trip was not in vain. He never thought that Mr. Chen would actually have such luck.

The tears that Mrs. Zhao had just wiped away could not be stopped from flowing out again. She was crying with joy and did not care about being laughed at by others.

She gratefully took Cui Yunzhu's hands and said, "Madam, I didn't expect that we are so destined to meet. Today, our Zhao family owes you a big favor!"

When Shopkeeper Zhang heard what Mrs. Zhao said, he couldn't help but feel confused. Could it be that Mr. Chen's wife had some relationship with the Zhao family?

It seems that he really made the right bet.

Cui Yunzhu waved her hand and said, "Madam, you are too polite. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Besides, we originally came here just to sell ginseng, but we never thought that your family would be in trouble. I hope these two ginsengs can help your family get better soon."

"Of course she will! Now that you are here, my daughter will definitely get better!"
