Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine
Chapter 524: Find a way
Dong Jiafu brought the medicine back from the clinic and boiled it herself.
Just as she was lost in thought, Dong Jingtang came up to her.
"Afu, tell Dad, what did your master say?"
Dong Jiafu quickly stood up from the stool, "Did father guess it?"
"If it was as simple as Doctor Tan said, his expression wouldn't be so serious, and you wouldn't have frowned just now."
Dong Jiafu subconsciously touched her brows. Did she frown? She didn't feel anything at all. However, she still needed to inform her father about her mother's condition.
"Mother's illness can indeed be cured by forcing the cold out of her body, but the cold has already invaded her lungs. We need to find a way to remove it as soon as possible. Otherwise..."
Dong Jiafu paused for a moment, "Otherwise it will shorten my mother's life span, and she will have to take medicine every day."
Dong Jingtang shook when he heard this.
“Father——” Dong Jiafu reached out to help.
"I'm fine," Dong Jingtang lowered his head and waved his hands, "It was all my fault. If she hadn't been dragged to that bitter cold place in Mobei by me, she wouldn't have been in any trouble..."
Seeing her father's bent back, Dong Jiafu felt a lump in her throat.
"Mother always said that a family should share weal and woe, happiness and misfortune. Father, please don't blame yourself. We will accompany mother through this stage together. Father, don't worry, Master and I will find a way to help mother get rid of the cold as soon as possible, and we will not let mother get hurt."
Dong Jingtang raised his head, his eyes red, "Afu, such a heavy burden is placed on you, you have worked hard."
Dong Jiafu smiled and said, "It's okay, father. Our family has been through such difficult times, and this time it won't defeat us."
"Good girl." Dong Jingtang patted her shoulder, full of relief.
After the medicine was boiled, Dong Jiafu returned to the house with a normal look on her face. The master had not yet thought of a solution, so he could only prescribe some common cold-dispelling medicine to stabilize the condition.
"Mother took medicine——"
Xu Yiwan frowned unconsciously when she smelled the medicine.
"Mother, drink it while it's hot. It won't be so bitter." Dong Jiafu handed over the medicine.
"I remember when you were little, I tried every possible way to coax you to take medicine, but I didn't expect the opposite to happen now." Xu Yiwan took it with a smile, closed her eyes and drank the medicine in one breath.
"Come, rinse your mouth." Dong Jingtang immediately brought her some water.
Xu Yiwan drank a few more sips of water, looked up and saw three people staring at her. She couldn't help laughing and said, "You don't have to be so nervous. Doctor Tan said that you just need to take medicine and slowly recuperate. It's not a serious illness."
"Yes, mother, don't worry and take good care of yourself. Don't hide it from us if you feel unwell in the future. Afu was scared to death when she saw you coughing up blood." Dong Jialin said exaggeratedly.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Xu Yiwan suddenly thought of Dong Jiabai who was far away in Suzhou, and reminded him, "Don't tell Jiabai about this, lest he gets anxious over there and can't come back."
Dong Jingtang nodded, "We all know, don't worry about this kind of thing."
If the cold air stays in Xu Yiwan's body for one day, it will hurt her lungs, and she needs to find a way to heal it quickly.
Dong Jiafu focused all her attention on this and put her and Cui Qi Yan's affairs on hold.
Over the past two days, Doctor Tan had them look through medical books and finally found the fastest way to get rid of the cold.
"Look, girl Dong, this is Snow Spirit Grass," Doctor Tan showed Dong Jiafu a picture of a herb in the medical book, "As long as you use it, combined with other herbs, you can cure your mother's illness."
Dong Jiafu was overjoyed, "Great, where can I buy this herb?"
She knew all the medicinal herbs in the clinic, but she had never even heard of Snow Spirit Grass.
Tan Hao took a look and said, "Snow Spirit Grass is only found in Xizhou, and its quantity is very rare. Ordinary medical clinics don't have it. Maybe there is some in the palace."
"I'll ask my father to ask the emperor for help." Dong Jiafu stood up immediately.
Doctor Tan shook his head, "Even if there is one in the palace, it's useless."
"Why?" Dong Jiafu and Tan Hao asked in unison.
"In order to cure Madam Dong's illness, the Snow Spirit Grass used must be harvested no more than twelve hours ago."
"Ah? I'm afraid we can't even leave Xizhou in twelve hours." Tan Hao blurted out.
"Master, do you have any solution?" Dong Jiafu asked.
Doctor Tan thought for a moment and said, "There is a way. We just need someone to go to Xizhou, find the Snow Spirit Grass, make it into pills with other herbs within twelve hours, and bring it back for Madam Dong to take."
"I'll go to Xizhou." Dong Jiafu didn't hesitate at all. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, she would fight for her mother.
"It's too dangerous for a woman like Miss Dong to go to such a far place alone. Let me go." Tan Hao said.
"No, this is to find medicine for my mother. I can't let my brother go for me. Besides, the clinic is so busy every day, how can my brother leave?"
"If you insist on going to Xizhou, then let him accompany you." Doctor Tan said, "Everyone is worried about you going alone, so having him accompany you can help take care of you. Besides, you are not proficient in the method of making pills, so your senior brother can help you."
Tan Kai also said: "Don't worry about the clinic. I have already contacted two doctors and I am sure I can invite them to the clinic."
After hearing what they said, Dong Jiafu had nothing to worry about. "Thank you, Master, Senior Brother, and Brother Tan."
"Okay, without further ado, I'll write down the prescription and you can take the other herbs with you when you leave. Go back and tell your family and leave as soon as possible."
"Then I'll go back first."
Dong Jiafu went to the teahouse to find Dong Jialin and went home together. Dong Jingtang also returned home early these two days to accompany Xu Yiwan.
Dong Jiafu didn't intend to hide the fact that she was going to Xizhou to look for medicine from Xu Yiwan. If everything went well, it would take a month. After the last plague incident, she didn't want her mother to have any more crazy thoughts while she was sick.
She knew that even if she told her mother the truth, her mother would inevitably worry about her. But this time was different from the last time. She believed that her father and second brother would comfort her mother.
So she called the family together and Dong Jiafu told them about the matter.
Xu Yiwan disagreed after hearing this, "My illness can be cured slowly, I don't need that Snow Spirit Grass, the journey to Xizhou is long, I don't want Afu to go."
Dong Jiafu guessed that she would object and had already thought of an excuse.
"If the cold in my mother's body is slowly treated with ordinary medicine, it will take at least a year. During this year, my mother has to drink soup medicine every day, and there are many taboos to pay attention to. Medicine is three-quarters poison. Now there is a faster way to remove the cold. How can I bear to watch my mother suffer for a year?"
Xu Yiwan still didn't want Dong Jiafu to suffer this, "It doesn't matter, a year will pass quickly..."
"You should listen to the child," Dong Jingtang, who knew the inside story, advised, "This is Ah Fu's filial piety. If you let her know that there is a way to cure your disease faster, but she can't do anything, she will feel even worse."
"Or I'll go." Dong Jialin said.
"Second brother has to run a business, open a restaurant, and prepare for his wedding. You can't go."
"I can put these things aside..."
"Brother, you don't understand medicine, so it's best for me to go." Dong Jiafu's eyes were firm. "Father and mother, you don't have to worry about me. I'm not a child. I can handle many things on the road by myself. And this time, my senior brother will go with me, so there won't be any problems."
