Chapter 229: 229 Muddle

229 Muddle-headed Lieutenant Yu

Yu Hui looked at Lieutenant Yu with a cold expression. “Father? What are you talking about? Doctor Wen has already given my mother the antidote and she will wake up in time. Are you unwilling to believe that my mother was poisoned? Or are you unwilling to investigate who did it?”

Hearing Yu Hui, Mr. Wen didn’t want to argue with Lieutenant Yu. He sneered and turned around to start packing the medicine box.

Li Yu looked at County Lieutenant Yu unhappily and thought to herself, How did such a muddle-headed person become a county lieutenant? He had to manage the security and large and small cases of a county. Did he have the smarts to do it?

Seeing that Mr. Wen had packed his things and was about to leave, Yu Hui hurriedly went forward and apologized, “Doctor Wen, don’t be upset with my father. He’s too anxious.” Mr. Wen glanced at Yu Hui and sighed. “You have to be careful before the appointed time. If anything happens, come next door to look for me.”

Yu Hui bowed. “Thank you.”

Li Yu and Doctor Wen came out of the house and saw Zhou Jia standing under the eaves of the porch. The servants of the Yu family were all standing in the corner with panicked expressions. They looked at the upper room and saw a faint figure standing under the window gauze in the west room.

Auntie Qin and Yu Hui sent the three of them to the door and thanked them repeatedly. They only turned around and went back when they saw the three of them return home.

When they reached home, Mr. Wen said to Zhou Jia, “This County Lieutenant Yu is a fool. You have to pay more attention to the cases he handles in the future!”

Zhou Jia said in confusion, “I’ve also been paying attention to him these days. I saw that he’s shrewd and capable when handling official matters. Why is he like this at home?”

Li Yu said, “How can a person who can’t even manage family matters handle government affairs well? How can he maintain a clear mind to handle big and small cases? I think it’s quite difficult!”

Zhou Jia felt that what Sir and Li Yu said was not unreasonable. If it was really County Lieutenant Yu’s concubine who murdered his first wife, County Lieutenant Yu was a person who was blinded by lust, much less a person who listened to reason. “Sir, I’ll pay attention to what you and Yu’er say. I’ll also keep an eye on the cases he handles in the future.”

Li Yu nodded and yawned. She said to Zhou Jia and Mr. Wen, “Sir, Xiao Xi, I’m a little tired. I’ll go sleep first.”

Mr. Wen said to Li Yu lovingly, “Alright, go and sleep for a while. It’s easy to get tired while pregnant.”

Mr. Wen waited for Li Yu to return to her room to rest. He looked at Zhou Jia and instructed, “Xiao Xi, what happened at County Lieutenant Yu’s house today is also a wake-up call for you. As the saying goes, peace in the family is important to one’s success. Madam Qin’s poisoning was caused by the discord at County Lieutenant Yu’s house.” Zhou Jia bowed and replied, “Yes, sir.”

Madam Yang listened for a long time but could not tell if Madam Qin had woken up. Seeing that Yu Hui had sent Zhou Jia and the others away with a light expression, she waited anxiously for County Lieutenant Yu in the house. After waiting for less than an hour, County Lieutenant Yu still did not come over. She said to her son, who was playing on the ground, “Chengyi, go and see what your father is doing in Madam’s room. Ask if Madam has woken up.”

Yu Cheng also got up and looked at Yang Meiniang. “Is Madam really going to die?” Yu Yan also looked up at Yang Meiniang. Yang Meiniang patted Yu Chengyi. “What nonsense are you talking about? Why are you talking so much nonsense? Hurry up and take a look.”

“Oh!” Yu Chengyi walked towards the main room. When he reached Madam Qin’s door, Aunt Qin, who had come out to pour water, saw him. Auntie Qin looked at him hatefully and said with red eyes, “Young Master, why are you here? Go back to your place!”

Seeing Aunt Qin’s expression, Yu Chengyi turned around and ran away fearfully. He went back and said to Yang Meiniang, “Mother, Old Madam Qin’s eyes are red. She’s as scary as a ghost.”

Yang Meiniang hugged her son and patted his back to comfort him. She thought to herself that there must be no hope. Didn’t they say that the old man next door was a divine doctor?

County Lieutenant Yu sat in Madam Qin’s room in a daze. Yu Hui and her sister stood by the bed and gazed at the unconscious Madam Qin, hoping that she would wake up. Aunt Qin picked up the tea set that Madam Qin usually used to make tea and the teapot to boil water. She waited for Madam Qin to wake up to get someone to check it.

At the end of the afternoon, Madam Qin woke up. She looked at her two daughters guarding the bed with red and swollen eyes and said weakly, “Hui’er, Xin’er, why are you crying like this?”

The sisters held Madam Qin’s hand. Yu Hui said fearfully, “Mother, you almost left us behind. It was Doctor Wen next door who saved you! If it weren’t for Doctor Wen…” The more Yu Hui thought about it, the more afraid she became. Then, she started crying again.

Madam Qin held her two daughters’ hands and comforted them gently. “Don’t cry! Mother is awake!”

Lieutenant Yu stood in front of the bed and felt a little sad. “Madam, how do you feel? Are you feeling better?”

Madam Qin turned her head to the side and closed her eyes. Yu Hui comforted her and said to her father, “Father, Mother is still very weak. Go back to your room first!”

Seeing that Madam Qin didn’t want to see him, Lieutenant Yu could only say, “Madam, rest well first. I’ll visit you later.” Just as County Lieutenant Yu returned to the house and sat down, Yang Meiniang entered with the two children. “Master, what’s wrong with Madam? I want to take a look, but I’m afraid I’ll anger Madam.”

County Lieutenant Yu looked at the delicate Aunt Yang suspiciously and wondered if it was really Yang Meiniang who poisoned Madam Qin. Was she so bold? On second thoughts, she didn’t even dare to say anything when Madam cut off her access to the food and servants. Besides, Madam wouldn’t eat even if Yang Meiniang sent food to her! It couldn’t be her. It must be someone else, but other than Yu Zhong, who followed him, the others were all people from the Qin family! County Lieutenant Yu couldn’t think of anything.

Yu Yan saw County Lieutenant Yu looking at Madam Yang. His eyes darted around, but he kept shaking his head. She knew that County Lieutenant Yu did not Madam Yang. She took a step forward and stood in front of County Lieutenant Yu with a worried expression. “Father, how is Madam? What illness does she have?”

County Lieutenant Yu thought for a moment and subconsciously said, “Madam is fine. She’s already asleep after taking the medicine. She should be fine in a few days. Don’t go over and cause trouble.”

Yang Meiniang heaved a sigh of relief and patted her chest. “It scared me. It’s really a blessing from the Bodhisattva. It’s good that Madam is fine!”

When County Lieutenant Yu saw that Yang Meiniang was so worried about Madam Qin’s safety, he felt a little guilty. “Madam treated you like this, yet you’re still so worried about her. When she recovers, I’ll persuade her and let her know how good you are!”

Yang Meiniang looked like it didn’t bother her and smiled. “It’s fine, Master. As long as Madam is happy, it doesn’t matter if I suffer a little.”

County Lieutenant Yu nodded in relief. “I’m a little tired. I want to sleep for a while. You guys can go back!”

Yang Meiniang left with the two children and saw Aunt Qin walking towards Madam Qin’s room with a tray.

Aunt Qin brought a bowl of porridge to Madam Qin’s bed and said, “Madam, drink some porridge to warm your stomach first.”

Aunt Qin thought to herself that Madam would have to eat even if she couldn’t. If she couldn’t hold on anymore, it would be fine for her adult son but Hui’er and Xin’er would suffer.
