After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

Upon hearing this, Jiang's mother's already worried face became even more anxious.

The old doctor was experienced and said quickly, "Madam, don't worry."

He turned sideways and picked up a half-dried prescription, and continued, "This is a prescription for recuperation. After the cold is cured, you will inevitably have to suffer a little."

Jiang's mother took the prescription solemnly, and someone immediately came forward to get the medicine with the prescription.

The old doctor stroked his white beard lightly, with a smile on his face. Although the smile was not deep, it made the worried people in the room feel more at ease.

"I've ordered someone to prepare medicine to reduce the fever. After the fever subsides, you can drink medicine to dispel the wind and cold for three days. You may have a long cough, so Madam, remember to keep warm!"

"The child is in her naughty state right now. All children go through this. Fortunately, there is a medical expert at home. He gave her medicine in time and saved the girl from having to apologize. Madam, you can rest assured!"

The atmosphere in the room was depressing. The old doctor often went to people's homes to see patients. When someone at home was sick, the family members would be worried, so it was common for the atmosphere to be depressing.

But there was still a sharp light flashing in the perceptive old man's eyes, but it was controlled by his drooping eyelids and experienced facial expressions, so that even Jiang's father, who was active in the officialdom, could not detect it.

However, relying on his much more experience, the old man easily judged that the suffocating atmosphere in this family was not entirely related to the illness of his youngest daughter.

He guessed in his heart that it was probably related to the cause of the disease!

After all, no official's daughter would be exposed to the cold wind for such a long time in the freezing winter!

Thinking of this, the old man shook off his cold clothes and chuckled helplessly.

The young man was impatient and was dragged here just as he picked up the medicine box. The wind and snow along the way fell on his sleeves, and now they were already damp and bitingly cold, a characteristic of winter.

He took advantage of the candlelight in the house to look at the moonlight outside, which was about to dawn. Thinking of the house he came to today, he asked curiously, "Your Excellency's family is a doctor, why don't you see the doctor from Jishidiang? I have discussed some medical knowledge with Jishidiang before, and I admire the Jiang family's good deeds of practicing medicine and saving lives!"

With a "whoosh" sound, a slight cold wind blew into the house, bringing with it the sound of small branches breaking through the air outside, making the already swaying candlelight even more unsteady. The only sound in the air was the sound of the cold wind, and there was an indescribable weird atmosphere in the air.

Father Jiang didn't know what to say. In fact, he also wanted to ask his wife why she didn't invite Doctor Liu from Jishidiang.

But he remembered his father's frowning words today: "If you want to fight for the position of the head of the family, you should know that there are some things you should give up. If the concubine of the Marquis's mansion becomes your concubine, at least you will have a descendant, and the position you fight for will also be inherited by someone!"

He also thought of the second house in the next yard who was eyeing him covetously. Even if this doctor was not someone he sent someone to find, he could understand what it meant if he thought about it carefully.

However, family disgrace should not be made public, and he was unwilling to tell the scandal to an unfamiliar doctor.

Facing the old doctor's questions, Jiang's father's usually eloquent mouth only moved up and down in the dark corner of the room, and his cheeks turned red as he looked embarrassed.

Jiang's mother naturally knew it, but she didn't want her husband to look so disappointing for a moment. What's more, the person was asking him, and if she rashly interrupted and answered for him, she would inevitably make him lose face in front of outsiders.

It won’t be a good reputation if it gets out!

They did not enjoy much of the benefits brought by the Jiang family, but any possibility that might harm the Jiang family's reputation could not exist.

Otherwise, the head of the family will be punished, the second wife will take advantage of the situation, and the first wife's official position will be implicated.

No matter which one of them is, they cannot afford it.

Because... they have too little, and if they lose any one of them, they will suffer a double blow.

After the old doctor asked this question, he also felt that something was wrong. Matters concerning the Jiang family should not be easily revealed to others.

Admiration is one thing, but even a slight interaction in the past cannot make someone tell you about their family affairs.

Within a few breaths, the three people present had different thoughts, and there was a more awkward atmosphere in the air.

Jiang's mother's thoughts raced in the blink of an eye, and she sensed the awkward atmosphere that was about to become real, especially since Jiang's father looked exactly the same as he had done in the room not long ago, when he had obediently admitted his mistake.

But he was the doctor who treated my daughter, and I couldn't afford to offend him, so I had to be careful.

Jiang Hui's room was not big. The servant who was closer to Jiang's father hid in the corner of the candlelight's shadow near the closet. After talking to Jiang's mother, he walked lightly without disturbing anyone present.

However, because everyone present was paying attention to the sick person and not a lowly servant, Jiang's mother's gaze could be transmitted more secretly.

The candlelight on the table stopped flickering strangely, and the sensible servant closed the door, leaving only a gap.

If this room where charcoal is burned continuously is not ventilated, it would be unsafe and unhealthy for so many people to be crowded in such a small space. Therefore, Jiang Hui's room was not closed because she caught a cold. Only the bed curtains were drawn and a few thick quilts were prepared.

The servant felt a familiar gaze. Even if Jiang's mother had not given any instructions in advance, he knew that as a caring servant he needed to guess the intentions of his master's family. Only in this way could he go further and wider.

Fortunately, it is not difficult to guess the lady’s intentions at this moment.

Just a few breaths after the old doctor finished speaking, the servant hiding in the dark came out and came into everyone's sight. The dim yellow candlelight made his originally dark yellow skin bright, revealing a somewhat dark yellow and honest complexion.

He looked a little flustered, and bowed to Jiang's father and mother to apologize, "Master, Madam, I received the order, and I was distracted for a moment, so I forgot to go to Jishitang, and went directly to the doctor near my home to come over."

He pretended very well, just like a rash man who had done something wrong, and the dark yellow and bright expression of anxious apology added a bit of credibility to his face, making people who didn't understand the truth believe that it was the servant's fault.

Jiang's mother naturally did not blame him. Instead, she said gently, "Well, you made a mistake because you were worried about the young lady. I will forgive you for your loyalty. Remember to think twice before you act next time!"

With the sky turning pale, Jiang's mother's voice was gentle and soft. She didn't sound like a mistress of the house, but rather someone who was gently teaching a younger generation.

In fact, even if the servant really made a mistake, Jiang's mother would not blame him in front of outsiders.
