Chapter 554 Snooping
Chapter 554 Snooping
Sitting in the clinic...
Doctor Lin pursed his lips, his gaze falling on the ginkgo tree outside the window. The mottled shadows of the tree swayed and swayed...
The dusty old events suddenly jumped out from the depths of my mind. I still remember that it was a day like this when the sky was high and the clouds were vast. My junior fellow apprentice had made some progress in medical skills, and the master decided to hand over the clinic in Dafeng Street to him and let him be the doctor in charge.
At that time, she was extremely envious. Her senior brothers and junior brothers were all able to stand on their own, but she was the only one who was still like a medicine boy helping out.
No, the assistant medicine boy can touch the herbs and patients, but she can only hold the medical books and practice on the maids in the mansion from time to time.
After a long while, Doctor Lin slowly exhaled and said, "Wait a moment, the mansion needs a doctor right now."
This is consent!
Song Ying also breathed a sigh of relief. Amidst a bunch of depressing things, there was finally something worth being happy about.
Those who were rescued from the Shen family still needed to continue detoxification treatment. Boiling soup and decocting medicine were fine, and the servants could do it. Some of them needed acupuncture and moxibustion, and they needed doctors.
Speaking of the Shen Mansion, Song Ying's heart felt like it was stuffed with a ball of cotton, making it hard to breathe.
Although she had little contact with the masters of the Shen Mansion, and this was her first meeting with the children who had come from afar with their mother to celebrate her birthday, it was still very painful for her to watch those living beings die in pain and hideous ways.
She did not feel sorry for Shen Zhuangyuan because he really deserved to die. After all, the root of all this was him. It was his selfishness and indifference that created everything today.
But those innocent children should not have been implicated. They were so young and had many possibilities in life, but they all died in such pain because of one person's mistake.
There is also Princess Shunan. She made mistakes, but her life was also implicated by Shen Zhuangyuan. If she could marry a good person, given her status, she would probably be able to live a rich and stable life.
And then there is Aunt Lian, she is hateful, pathetic and lamentable, she lived a miserable life, and the only consolation she had was extinguished, she took the blame for so many lives and avenged them, but there is no sense of relief at all.
Song Ying exhaled deeply again and looked at Doctor Ma. "Master, I'm afraid I won't be able to come to the clinic often in the next few days. Master can't handle it alone, so I'll go with her."
Doctor Ma nodded and said, "Wenxuan should go too. After all, you two are women, and it's not convenient for some male patients. I'll have someone find a house first."
After everything was discussed, Song Ying sent Doctor Lin back to Shen's house before rushing home.
After not returning for a few days, I saw a white shadow jumping down from the eaves of someone else's house and running towards this side from afar.
The four paws landed lightly and silently, and the fluffy long hair bloomed in the wind like a rolling cloud.
Song Ying's vision suddenly became blurred. Although it was getting closer and closer, he could only see a blurry white shadow.
She thought of the day when she took Tangtang to say goodbye. When she left, she turned around and saw Aunt Lian standing by the door. The midday sun was pouring down from above her head, and her whole body seemed to melt into the light, shining brightly.
At that time, she did not see Aunt Lian's expression clearly, but she felt that her figure was very thin, so thin that even the sunlight could not warm her.
But this time, through the blurred tears, she saw clearly the look on Aunt Lian's face, one of loneliness, reluctance, and melancholy.
But she said that it didn’t matter whether she needed Tangtang or not, and that Tangtang would be safer if she left her.
The soft, light touch on his legs brought Song Ying back to his senses.
She blinked, suppressing the tears in her eyes, and her vision became clear. Tangtang slightly arched her back and rubbed her legs, with the tip of her tail hooked on her legs, and meowed non-stop.
Song Ying bent down and picked up Tangtang, buried her face in her soft fur, and said sullenly, "There's one less person in this world who loves you."
Tangtang didn't understand life and death, but seemed to sense her sadness. It made gurgling sounds, trying to comfort her.
One sound after another made Song Ying laugh directly. She rubbed Tangtang and muttered, "You little guy, the sound is deafening, just like thunder."
She sniffed and looked up at the sky. "If she could see you so carefree in heaven, she would probably be relieved."
Tangtang still didn't understand. She rubbed her head against the palm of her hand, stared at her with her big yellow eyes, and meowed to express her longing for her.
Carrying Tangtang back to the shop, Luo Yanxing was entertaining guests. There were quite a few people. Song Ying only took a glance and recognized many familiar customers, most of whom were maids from other mansions.
It is obvious that these people were not buying the pancreas but were actually trying to gather information.
"Oh, Doctor Song is back! What grudge does that concubine have with the Shen family? Why would she be so heartless as to poison the banquet?"
"Yeah, there were so many people. I heard that more than ten people died, many of them were children who had returned to their mother's home with the Shen family's aunts to celebrate their birthday. How could they be so cruel?"
"Isn't this guy a lunatic..."
For a moment, the guests stopped choosing pancreas and gathered around, asking questions one after another.
Seeing this, Luo Yanxing pushed them aside and stood beside Song Ying. "Dear customers, Song Ying has been busy for several days. You can see her face is pale. Let her rest for a while."
As she spoke, she pushed Song Ying inside and said, "Once she has rested, I will tell you if there is any news."
She was very strong, and the guests couldn't stop Song Ying from leaving openly, so she pushed and pushed him into the back door. Now, whether the guests were simply curious or were trying to gather information for their master, they had to give up.
Unable to get any information, they didn't delay and quickly bought some soap and left.
After seeing off the guests, Luo Yanxing turned around and went in. She was also very curious!
After entering, she first pulled Song Ying up and down and looked him over: "You're finally back. Are you okay? And your master? Was he not poisoned?"
Song Ying shook her head. "Even before the poisonous food was served, she found an excuse to kick Master and me out."
Luo Yanxing patted his chest and said, "Oh my, I was so scared. I've been so nervous these past two days. I even dreamt of you bleeding from all seven orifices."
Song Ying's depressed heart warmed slightly, and he said angrily, "Didn't I ask the officers to bring you a message?"
"How can I be truly reassured if I haven't seen it with my own eyes? Oh, and by the way, take some time to look for Yuan Qing later. He must be worried too."
After saying that, he hurriedly asked, "Tell me quickly, what exactly happened? Was it that special concubine you mentioned earlier who poisoned her? Do you know the reason?"
Song Ying nodded, "I know, but I can't tell you."
Luo Yanxing: “…”
"I promised Princess Shun'an that I wouldn't reveal the inside story. This matter involves the Shen family scandal, so I can't spread it around."
Luo Yanxing became even more curious when he heard this, and begged, "I'm not talking nonsense. We grew up together, don't you know whether I'm a big mouth or not?
I promise I won’t tell anyone after hearing this!”
PS: I don’t know if I can code the next chapter today. Just go with the flow and don’t wait.
