My Entire Family's Gone Haywire!

Gu Xin felt Mrs. Song’s pulse. She was fine at first, but as time passed, she started to frown, causing Mrs. Song and Song Yi to be worried.

After Gu Xin’s hands were done, Song Yi asked anxiously, ” “Your Highness, your student’s mother is sick.”

Mr. Song, ” Gu Xin looked at him and said, ” can you show me the prescription that Mrs. Song usually takes? ”

Song Yi did not suspect him and went to find the prescription.

Gu Xin looked at the prescription and pointed out that two of the doses were too heavy, causing the already weak Mrs. Song to feel even more weak. The moment she heard that a female corpse had been found next door, Mrs. Song was so worried and anxious that she fainted.

It was obvious that the prescription was not written recently and had been there for some time.

Song Yi then told Gu Xin that this was a prescription from a doctor before the new year. After the new year, Mrs. Song would continue to take it to recuperate when she felt better.

Mrs. Song had always been weak, so the mother and son were not surprised by her weakness.

Gu Xin asked Song Yi to bring a pen and paper over. She wrote a new prescription and asked Song Yi to go to the pharmacy to get the medicine the next day. To be on the safe side, it was best to ask the doctor Who had treated Mrs. Song before to come and see her again.

A doctor would usually prescribe two to three doses of medicine. After taking the medicine, they would go to the doctor to take the pulse. The doctor would add or decrease the amount according to the pulse after taking the medicine. They would not take the same medicine throughout the entire process of the illness.

Song Yi was very annoyed. Why didn’t he care more about his mother? Even if her mother had said that she was better and that nothing had happened, she should have let the doctor take a look and not keep taking the medicine from before.

Gu Xin knew that some scholars only cared about the books of the sages and did not care much about the trifles in their lives.

“Yi ‘er, quickly bring some tea for Princess Xinxin and tidy up the bed.” After hearing Gu Xin’s diagnosis, Mrs. Song heaved a sigh of relief. It was only then that she realized that the broken bowl was still on the floor. The princess was here, she couldn’t just leave her with water. After checking the room next door for an entire afternoon, the princess probably didn’t have time to drink water.

Song Yi went to boil water and then took a broom to clean up the debris.

“Your Highness, please ask! This commoner will definitely tell you everything I know.” Said Mrs. Song.

“Alright. Mrs. Song, do you remember what you were doing on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year?” Gu Xin asked.

“The seventh day.” Mrs. Song thought for a moment and said, ” I remember that I didn’t go out on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. I just did some embroidery work at home. The sixth day was Yi ‘er’s birthday. I went out to buy groceries, and when I was eating with Yi’ er at night, he mentioned that the daughter of the ye family had a cold wind. The doctor said that it wasn’t good. On the seventh day, he came back and said that the daughter of the ye family had woken up. At that time, I was doing embroidery. I also took an egg to visit Xiao ru. After that, I went home.”

“Then, didn’t you hear the commotion next door the entire day? When did you go to the ye family to visit miss ye?” Gu Xin asked.

“Nothing much. The tenant of the next courtyard had withdrawn his lease before the new year. In the first month of the lunar year, you ya shop brought the tenants over to take a look, but none of them were satisfied. In February, there were no more tenants, so I had locked it up. He only had a tenant on the tenth day of the new year. The first time that family came was on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, and the second time was yesterday, which was when the appointment was made.” Mrs. Song coughed a few more times before saying, ” I had dinner on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. Xiao ru went to visit at about five o ‘clock. She went over to sit for a while and then came back. She talked to Yi’ er for a while and then went to rest.
