After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband-Chapter 913 - 908: Reducing the Fever

At that time, it was already late, and the streets were about to be under curfew.

If she had known earlier, Third Madam Shen could have asked Su Jin to come and see her daughter.

In the dark of night, Third Madam Shen was unbearably anxious.

With such a high fever, they definitely couldn’t wait until tomorrow, so Third Madam Shen had the maid send someone to fetch a doctor.

A doctor arrived after half an hour, saw Miss Shen’s scorching forehead, and quickly prescribed medicine.

Gather herbs, brew medicine.

Another half-day delay.

Third Madam Shen coaxed her daughter to drink the medicine, stayed by her side without removing her clothes, weeping silently.

Miss Shen’s illness not only alarmed Madam Shen but also Old Madam Jibei.

However, Old Madam Jibei sent a maid to inquire while Madam Shen came personally.

Because she was busily preparing for her son’s marriage today, her feet didn’t touch the ground, and Third Madam Shen neglected her daughter.

"Is she better after taking medicine?" Madam Shen asked.

Third Madam Shen was anxious with red eyes, "I don’t know yet, the doctor said the medicine hasn’t taken effect."

"You’ve been busy all day, go rest, please."

Madam Shen felt guilty but didn’t leave.

After Miss Shen took the medicine, the fever on her forehead subsided a bit, and both Madam Shen and Third Madam Shen breathed a sigh of relief.

But that relief came too early.

The fever only subsided a little, but later in the night, it became worse, and the medicine had no effect.

Early in the morning, it wasn’t convenient to invite Su Jin to come for treatment, so the servant from Jibei Marquis Mansion went and knocked on Doctor Wei’s door to invite Su Jin’s "mentor" to the mansion.

Doctor Wei hurriedly rushed to Jibei Marquis Mansion, by this time Miss Shen was already delirious due to the illness.

Third Madam Shen was burning with anxiety.

Doctor Wei prescribed medicine and applied acupuncture to help reduce Miss Shen’s fever, but after half an hour there was no improvement.

If the fever continues, her brain might get damaged.

"Should we ask Princess Consort Zhenbei to take a look?" Doctor Wei suggested.

Third Madam Shen looked at him, "Wasn’t Princess Consort Zhenbei taught by you, Doctor Wei?"

Doctor Wei, "... ."

How was he supposed to answer that?

Even though they were at Jibei Marquis Mansion.

He couldn’t casually give a response.

"Well, wait until the Consort comes, let her explain to you," Doctor Wei said.

Third Madam Shen’s anxiety was unbearable.

She never doubted that Doctor Wei wasn’t Su Jin’s mentor.

If the mentor couldn’t save her daughter, how could the disciple?

No matter what, Su Jin had to be invited.

Upon hearing Miss Shen had a fever, Su Jin immediately took a carriage to Jibei Marquis Mansion.

Su Jin regretted a bit.

Yesterday she should have been more adamant and brought her inside, to prevent her from being exposed to the wind outside.

When Su Jin arrived at Jibei Marquis Mansion, Mrs. Tang was there too.

Young Master Su and his group were also there.

They stood outside, faces filled with anxious unease.

After Su Jin entered the room, she sat directly by the bed, touched Miss Shen’s forehead, and was quite shocked.

This temperature was at least forty degrees.

Su Jin hurriedly assisted Miss Shen in reducing the fever.

Doctor Wei, the "mentor" stood by watching his "student" treat the patient.

Using strong alcohol to wipe the hands, neck, and forehead.

Then performed acupuncture and prescribed medicine.

After thirty minutes, the forehead was no longer as hot, showing some improvement.

Third Madam Shen’s eyes were swollen from crying, and Third Master Shen looked at her and said, "I see our daughter is improving, we should go see Old Madam, Princess Yining is waiting for us to go for the tea ceremony, Jinjim and Doctor Wei are here, it should be fine."

Third Madam Shen looked at Su Jin, and Su Jin nodded, "I’m here, go ahead, Third Aunt."

The Jibei Marquis Mansion had always been harmonious.

In any other household, with the daughter this ill, who would care about a tea ceremony?

But today was Princess Yining’s day for the tea ceremony, and the fact that Miss Shen fell ill on her first day married here cast a shadow over the mansion.

The new bride couldn’t help but have many thoughts, but it would make Princess Yining feel a lot better if Third Madam Shen and Third Master Shen accepted her tea.

Considering others and empathy was key to harmonious relationships.

Not long after, Third Madam Shen returned, accompanied by Madam Shen and Princess Yining.

Madam Shen came in and asked, "Is she better?"

Su Jin replied, "Much better now."

Madam Shen looked at Mrs. Tang and said, "I see Yangyang and the boys are standing outside, we can’t blame them for this...."

Mrs. Tang said, "No need to worry about them, since they promised to take care of Yueyue, as older brothers, they must watch over her. This time they need to learn a lesson for the future."

Young Master Su and the boys stood outside, each feeling guilty.

The four of them practiced martial arts, plus they were older and boys, they could withstand some cold wind.

The young cousin was small and a girl, how could she endure the harsh wind?

They didn’t take good care of the young cousin, punishment was deserved.

The four stood very straight, their young faces full of remorse.

Su Jin guarded by the bedside for two hours, Doctor Wei had left with his medical kit an hour ago.

Third Madam Shen looked at Su Jin and asked, "Isn’t Doctor Wei your mentor?"

Su Jin had the maids leave, and said, "I didn’t recognize Doctor Wei as my mentor until recently."

Third Madam Shen was stunned.

After Su Jin explained further, Third Madam Shen understood what was going on. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Mrs. Tang looked at Su Jin and said, "Doctor Wei’s medical skills are far lesser than yours, it almost got exposed today, this is Jibei Marquis Mansion, it won’t spread from here, but elsewhere it’s hard to guarantee."

Deceiving people will always get exposed eventually.

Especially deceiving the Empress Dowager...

Su Jin had considered this, it all depended on whether Doctor Wei would betray them.

Hmm.

After leaving Jibei Marquis Mansion, Doctor Wei thought about this issue on the way back to the palace.

If it got exposed, and the Empress Dowager discovered he teamed up with Princess Consort Zhenbei to put on a show, the Empress Dowager would definitely skin him alive to vent her anger.

To avoid exposure, he had to employ a self-inflicted ploy.

Doctor Wei claimed an errand, got out from the soft carriage, and walking halfway stepped on a stone, nearly twisting his ankle.

The servant carried him back to the mansion and went to the palace to request leave.

Twisting an ankle wasn’t a big deal, but when it happened to Doctor Wei, it became quite the talk.

Back then, Doctor Wei first broke a leg and then an arm, forced to resign and leave the Capital.

He hadn’t been back in the Capital long, and already twisted his ankle, not a good sign.

But Doctor Wei considered this quite a wise move.

Just after being carried back to the mansion, someone invited him to treat an illness.

The servant asked further, only to find out the Minister of Ministry of Industry’s daughter accidentally sprained her leg, the face got scratched, and they needed scar-removal ointment.

Did Doctor Wei have scar-removal ointment?

Yes.

But the ointment’s effect wasn’t what the Minister’s Mansion wanted.

They wanted Princess Consort Zhenbei’s ointment, which he certainly didn’t have.

The servant ran to find Doctor Wei, and what could Doctor Wei do, he had to think of a way to send them off.

Doctor Wei looked at his leg and said, "I nearly twisted my ankle off, how can I prepare ointment?"

"Princess Consort Zhenbei has ready-made ones, go ask her for it."
