Xu Rongrong was awakened by the sound of people moving outside the door.

She undressed and got out of bed, looking through the window lattice. It was still dark outside.

I could faintly hear Wen Yao's voice.

Xu Rongrong opened the door and walked out: "What happened?"

The sudden cold wind made her shiver.

Wen Yao was talking to someone when he saw his young lady coming out. He quickly came over and wrapped her in his cloak:

"The little girl suddenly had a high fever in the middle of the night. Her mother was afraid of disturbing us, so she kept silent until now."

"But until now, the fever has not gone away, and people have started to talk nonsense, so they come looking for me."

"I didn't expect to wake up the lady."

When Xu Rongrong heard this, he was shocked: "How could a good person suddenly have a high fever? Can you please Dr. Shu come over and take a look?"

Wen Yao nodded: "Mr. Shu is diagnosing her pulse in the house."

After hearing this, Xu Rongrong stopped sleeping. She put on her cloak and went to the mother and daughter's room.

The woman's family name was Xiao, and her husband's family name was Luo, so she was called Luo Xiao.

Her daughter's name is Luo Yuqi, who is twelve years old.

Seeing Xu Rongrong come in, Luo Xiao quickly stood up and rubbed his hands nervously.

Her eyes were red with a look of shame on her face: "It is really the little woman who is incompetent and has disturbed the county master."

Xu Rongrong waved her hand: "When a child is sick, he will naturally be anxious... How can I blame you?"

After saying that, she walked to the bed.

The girl on the bed's cheeks were burning red, and her brows were furrowed as if she was in great pain.

Xu Rongrong asked: "Why is she doing this?"

Shu Qing sat by the window and took his pulse. He twisted his eyebrows and thought for a long time: "When I took Luo Yatou's pulse yesterday, she just had spleen deficiency and lung heat. Logically speaking, it was caused by acclimatization. It will be relieved after she gets used to it. But Now the pulse is mixed and very different from yesterday, why is this happening... I can’t figure it out.”

Since Shu Qing is known as the "Excellent Medical Doctor", Xu Rongrong can trust his medical skills.

She asked: "But it was caused by poisoning?"

Shu Qing shook his head: "No signs of poisoning were found, and it is not a serious or terminal illness."

Seeing his sad face, I couldn't figure it out for a moment, so Xu Rongrong asked: "In that case, the most urgent thing is to reduce the fever first. Do you have any idea?"

"If it's just to reduce the fever... I have a prescription." Shu Qing sat at the table and drew up a prescription.

He said: "This method can temporarily reduce the fever, but it is still unknown whether it will relapse later."

If even Shu Qing can't do anything, then at the moment, he can only take one step at a time and wait and see.

Xu Rongrong was about to call someone to get the medicine when Chu He stood beside her at some point: "I'll go."

After saying that, he took the prescription and disappeared into the slightly exposed morning light.

Luo Xiao sat on the edge of the bed, holding her daughter's hand tightly, her eyes full of helplessness after staying up all night.

Wen Yao comforted him: "Don't worry, take the medicine first, and we will think of something else after the fever subsides."

Luo Xiao wrung his hands, feeling indescribable heartache.

Xu Rongrong came over and sat down opposite Luo Xiao: "When you were entangled with Young Master Nalu yesterday, you seemed to say that you came from Yuzhou?"

Luo Xiao nodded and raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his chin: "Exactly. My husband previously ran a Qufang on the bank of the Yu River. The floods broke down the dam and the Qufang. We originally There was nothing we could do, and my husband fell ill and died suddenly... Originally, we were only a few people, and we were afraid of unrest after the disaster, so we had to sell our property and flee to the capital to find relatives. But who would have thought..."

She looked at her daughter's flushed cheeks, her eyes blurred by tears again.

Xu Rongrong asked Wen Yao to bring her a cup of hot tea. After she calmed down for a moment, she asked, "I saw her coughing badly yesterday. Did you develop symptoms after you went north?"

Luo Xiao thought about it for a moment, shook his head and said: "Before we left Yuzhou, we seemed to have a cough. Not only Yuqi, but also several of our neighbors were sick. It was just that after dealing with the funeral affairs of my late husband, I was focused on getting on the road, so I didn’t take this matter to my heart.”

After saying that, her expression suddenly changed, "Did we come out in a hurry that delayed her condition? This... this..."

A woman of this age is devoted to caring for her husband and raising children, and only knows how to blame herself and wake herself up.

Xu Rongrong sighed and patted her arm comfortingly: "Think more about it first. It is very rare that you can finish Yuzhou's affairs on your own and bring your daughter to the foot of the capital. Besides, this It’s not like the disease can’t be cured without medicine, Dr. Shu will think of a way.”

Luo Xiao was slightly startled. The girl in front of her was only sixteen or seventeen years old, but her expression and tone of voice seemed to have gone through many vicissitudes of life.

The medicine was quickly brought in. Wen Yao was quick with his hands and feet and brought the medicine in after a while.

With the help of everyone, Luo Xiao fed her daughter the medicine.

Shu Qing was worthy of being called the "Excellent Doctor", but in just half an hour, Luo Yuqi's complexion returned to normal, and her temperature was the same as that of ordinary people.

But there is still no sign of waking up.

Xu Rongrong left him to heal in the house and went to the front.

The magistrate of Lu County was waiting at Qianya early in the morning.

Last night, he spent the whole night looking for the first inn where Xu Rongrong checked in but failed.

The shopkeeper said that judging from the conversation between the county master and his servant, they were just passing guests and did not intend to stay in Puyang for a long time.

Magistrate Lu had confidence in his heart, and now his first priority was to serve the county chief comfortably and do everything to her satisfaction, so that the Buddha could be sent away quickly.

But what can satisfy her?Naturally, Young Master Lu was sacrificed!

As a result, the crimes of Mr. Lu, who was rampant in the countryside, were posted at the yamen gate, and the people were allowed to gather around the door and point fingers.

Although he lost face, it was better than being stared at by the county leader.

With a smile on his face, he reported everything to Xu Rongrong.

Xu Rongrong smiled and nodded: "Master Lu is indeed fair."

She knew that once this notice came out, even if Young Master Lu was released, he would not dare to be as rampant as before around Puyang County.

What's more, such a person is the most fierce-looking person and wants to save face.

Now that your face is being thrown to the ground and trampled on, you will naturally be a turtle with your head down for a long time.

The county magistrate of Lu looked at Xu Rongrong's face and said tentatively: "Although our county is small, there are still some nice scenery. After the county master has finished his breakfast, I will arrange for someone to take you around."

How could Xu Rongrong not know what he meant? She had no time to deal with him: "Thank you Master Lu for your kindness. It's just that the girl who came with me suddenly fell ill, so we can't stay for a long time."

"Oops..." Magistrate Lu exclaimed exaggeratedly, "To put it this way, it's really a coincidence. Does the county master need a subordinate to arrange a carriage for you?"

Xu Rongrong smiled and declined.

Then he dismissed him with a few words and returned to Houya.

She went to the room to see Luo Yuqi, who was sleeping, and discussed with Luo Xiao:

"I have important matters and need to go south as soon as possible. I can't stay here for a long time. I'm worried that after I leave, Lu Zhi County will make things difficult for you. If you want to go to the capital to visit relatives, I can arrange a carriage for you."

"But if you need Dr. Shu to continue diagnosing Yuqi, you may have to go south with us."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Luo Xiao bowed down and bowed:

"We are willing to go south with the eldest lady."

“It’s not just for my little girl’s medical consultation.”

"The situation in Jiangnan is complicated now, and the little woman is willing to lead the way for the county leader."
