Before the two of them could speak, Chuntao hurried in again.
"Third Master, Madam, the old lady has sent someone to deliver a message."
"I asked the third master and his wife to take the doctor to the village to see what happened to the doctor."
Shen Zhixiu stood up and said, "If you go back to the old lady, just tell her that my wife and I will go there right away. Let her rest early, and I will go to her place for breakfast tomorrow morning."
Su Qingyu was also curious, why did Mrs. Chen suddenly become seriously ill? What she asked Jade to buy was a poison that could delay death but would definitely kill people, not a medicine that could make people's hair turn white and vomit blood.
While changing clothes, Su Qingyu asked Jade in a low voice, "Where did you buy the medicine? Is it reliable?"
Jade nodded and replied: "Madam, don't worry, the medicine seller is a charlatan, and he is very strict. He said that after taking this medicine, your health will deteriorate unknowingly, and you can live for up to two years."
Su Qingyu thought of the news from Zhuangzi. Two years? Why do you feel that Chen will not survive more than two days?
She was really curious as to what happened to Chen.
After changing clothes, Su Qingyu led her people out of the inner room, where Shen Zhixiu was already waiting.
When they arrived at the outer courtyard, Su Qingyu realized that Shen Zhixiu had invited Mr. Zhou to come with him.
Mr. Zhou stepped forward and saluted, "Hello, third lady."
Su Qingyu returned the gift and stood quietly beside Shen Zhixiu.
She has always maintained a strong wariness towards Mr. Zhou. She didn't dare to take it lightly even if she didn't figure out what happened in her previous life.
Shen Zhixiu took Su Qingyu in a carriage, the maid and the mother-in-law in a carriage, Mr. Zhou took a medicine box in a carriage, and Wenzhu and other guards rode around the carriage.
It was already dark at this time, but there were two luminous pearls inlaid on the wall of the carriage, so the inside of the carriage was still quite bright.
It was midsummer and the carriage was a little stuffy. Su Qingyu was a little weak when she was a child, so she rarely used ice in summer. After marrying into the Shen family, Mr. Zhou checked her pulse and said she was in good health, but Shen Zhixiu still refused to let her use more ice.
Su Qingyu held a silk fan embroidered with flowers and plants and edged with gold thread, and was fanning the wind impatiently.
I don’t know if it’s going to rain, but the weather has been extremely hot and muggy these past two days. Once a person gets hot, he loses the patience to do anything.
So even though she was fanning herself, Su Qingyu still frowned.
Shen Zhixiu sat down opposite her, took the silk fan in her hand, and started fanning gently.
"I said I would take you to a villa outside the city for two days, but I haven't been able to find time. I'll visit my sister-in-law today, pack up tomorrow, and we'll go the day after tomorrow."
"There are many flowers, plants and trees in the courtyard, as well as hot spring water. It's also on the side of a mountain, so it's not as hot as home."
There are many villages in the Shen family, and there are also many other courtyards. The place Shen Zhixiu was talking about was at the foot of the West Mountain in the capital, not far from Su Qingyu's grandmother's old house.
Su Qingyu was indeed a little tired these days, feeling haggard due to physical and mental exhaustion.
Then he nodded, "That's fine, but what about Third Master's official business?"
Shen Zhixiu smoothed Su Qingyu's hair around her temples and said softly, "I haven't been very busy recently, so I can still stay with you for a few days."
Su Qingyu was a little tired today, and the carriage was shaking, so she fell into a drowsy state and fell asleep.
When she woke up, she realized that she had left the capital and was almost at the farm on the outskirts of the city. She was resting her head on Shen Zhixiu's legs, and Shen Zhixiu was fanning himself.
But because she was lying in bed, there was still a layer of fine beads of sweat hanging on Su Qingyu's neck.
Just as he was debating whether to sit up or not, the carriage suddenly stopped.
Wen Zhu's voice came from outside, "Third Master, Madam, we're here."
Su Qingyu no longer hesitated, sat up and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on her neck.
Shen Zhixiu helped her straighten her clothes again, feeling a little regretful for taking her out so late. But it was against the rules for him to come to see Mrs. Chen alone. If Su Qingyu didn't come, he would have to bring his mother-in-law.
After helping Su Qingyu out of the carriage, all the maids, ladies, servants, and stewards of Zhuangzi came over to pay homage to the two of them.
Shen Zhixiu only kept the steward of the village, Nanny Qin, and ordered the others to disperse.
It's a coincidence that Nanny Qin served Zhai Qingping more than ten years ago. Later, when Zhai Qingping was eight months pregnant, she suddenly gave birth prematurely and died. The servants who served her were also sent to Zhuangzi by Mrs. Chen.
The old lady and Su Qingyu did not tell which village Chen would go to today, so Aunt Hua took the initiative and sent the person here.
According to Grandma Hua, this Zhuangzi is the closest to the capital, so it’s more convenient for anything.
Su Qingyu looked at Nanny Qin, "Where is the eldest lady? How are you doing?"
Aunt Qin bowed her body slightly and was so respectful that she couldn't be more respectful.
"As for the third lady, the eldest lady is resting in the main room."
Aunt Qin led the way, and Su Qingyu, Shen Zhixiu and Mr. Zhou followed her to the main room.
As soon as she entered the door, Su Qingyu took out a cotton handkerchief and covered her mouth and nose. The capital is dry, but there is a musty smell in this house. I'm afraid it hadn't been cleaned for three to five years before Mrs. Chen moved in.
After entering the inner room, there were simple furnishings in the room, and the paint on the square table on the floor had peeled off. On the simple bunk bed, Chen was covered with a colorful jacquard quilt.
The person didn't move, I don't know if he fell asleep or passed out.
Shen Zhixiu couldn't step forward, so Su Qingyu walked to the bed.
Just looking at the person on the bed, Su Qingyu was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a long time.
At this time, Chen's black hair had turned half white, and there were obvious wrinkles on her face and eyes. She was obviously less than 40 years old, but now she looked more than ten years older than before.
The two eyes were pitch black and seemed to be completely sunken.
Seeing that Su Qingyu had been standing beside the bed for a long time, Shen Zhixiu and Mr. Zhou also walked closer.
The two of them glanced at Chen, but both looked normal. Shen Zhixiu signaled that Mr. Zhou could check his pulse.
Su Qingyu stepped forward and touched Chen's arm.
"Sister-in-law, how are you? Third Master and I are here to see you."
Chen heard the voice and opened her eyes with force. When she saw Su Qingyu, her sunken eyes suddenly widened.
What is Su Qingyu doing here? If poisoning her doesn't work, why not give her another stab? Or come to see her jokes?
"Su...Su Qingyu, what are you doing here?"
What Chen said now was hoarse and somewhat unclear.
I don’t know if it was because I was poisoned and my throat was hurt.
Su Qingyu smiled lightly and said: "Of course I'm treating my sister-in-law, and everyone in the family is thinking about you." After saying that, she stepped aside and gave up her position to Mr. Zhou.
Mr. Zhou's hand touched Chen's weak wrist, his expression was solemn, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Shen Zhixiu asked Mr. Zhou thoughtfully, "How is Madam?"
