Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 279 Reasons

After the medicine was prepared and fed to him, after a period of time, Han Zhijie's high fever no longer recurred, but slowly subsided.

Doctor Ma finally breathed a sigh of relief, pointed to the clinic outside, and said, "Senior sister, let's talk outside."

Doctor Lin nodded, glanced at Madam Fang, and said, "Wenxuan, you stay and watch."

Song Ying looked at Madam Fang and the little girl who had fallen asleep on a chair while waiting, and said, "Master, I'll stay."

Unexpectedly, Doctor Lin said, "How can you, a girl, stay with a man at night?"

Song Ying looked at Han Zhijie who was unconscious on the couch due to fever, and thought to himself that he was already so burned up. In comparison, his senior brother, a teenager, should be separated from Madam Fang, a young woman, right?

Doctor Lin did not give her a chance to speak again. He just walked out after saying this and shouted when he reached the door: "I'm leaving."

Song Ying had no choice but to follow him out.

When they arrived at the pharmacy, Doctor Ma asked again: "Sister, I just thought that even if the amount of Bupleurum and Scutellaria was less, it wouldn't be that serious. Where did I not do it carefully enough? Please enlighten me."

After saying this, he bowed and saluted.

Song Ying was surprised by him. She had discovered from their interactions that Doctor Ma was a very old-fashioned person. She could also feel his admiration for his senior sister Doctor Lin in his daily words, but she didn't expect that he would ask for advice so seriously.

In comparison, Song Ying felt that his attitude was too careless when he asked them for advice.

Doctor Lin did not answer him, but turned his head to look at Song Ying, "Go and get the dregs of the medicine your senior brother boiled this afternoon."

Drug residue?

Thinking of what Doctor Lin asked Lin Wenxuan in the carriage, Song Ying couldn't help but wonder secretly, could it be that the wrong medicine was prescribed?

She turned around and took out the medicine jar from the cabinet next to her and handed it over. This medicine was decocted once when Han Zhijie brought it, and again in the afternoon. It should have been poured out.

But Han Zhijie kept repeating, and Lin Wenxuan obviously didn't have time to fall.

Doctor Lin poured the medicine residue directly onto the table and turned it over with chopsticks.

After turning it over twice, Doctor Ma exclaimed: "Huh? Why is there so little Bupleurum?"

Immediately, he was so angry that he blew his beard, "How did Wenxuan get this medicine?"

"Don't wrongly accuse Wenxuan." Doctor Lin rolled his eyes at him. "Think carefully with your walnut-sized brain. Today is the first day of the new year, and Han Zhijie is the only patient. Wenxuan has been prescribing the dosage for so many years. Could he have made a mistake?"

Song Ying was once again surprised by the way their master and uncle got along. She didn't expect that the master would speak so rudely to his uncle.

She suppressed her surprise and spoke up for Lin Wenxuan: "Brother is always cautious in doing things. Even if he made a mistake in a hurry, there is no way that Chaihu would be so little."

In this Xiao Chaihu Decoction, the most abundant herb is Bupleurum, more than twice as much as the other herbs. Therefore, although it is only the residue now, one can still see with the naked eye that there is less Bupleurum. Whether there is less other herbs, Song Ying cannot tell for the time being.

Doctor Ma also came to his senses. Since it was not a very busy time, Lin Wenxuan would not have prescribed the wrong medicine. After a closer look, he found that not only Bupleurum, but also the dosage of other herbs such as Scutellaria, Pinellia, and ginger was not right.

He frowned, "What's the matter with this medicine? Only Song Ying's friends have been to the pharmacy today."

As he spoke, he looked at Song Ying.

Song Ying was also worried. Could it be that the three bandits, Song Tianluo, Erzhu and Tian Hu, did not know the seriousness of the matter and moved the medicine jar?

Yan Xing and her friends had been to the pharmacy many times and knew the seriousness of the matter. Yuan Qing was not someone who did not know etiquette and would not touch other people's things casually. She had not had much contact with Yuan Shan and did not know her specific type of person. She did not know if she was the one who touched the medicine jar.

In addition, there is also Madam Zheng who sells wooden hairpins.

Song Ying was frantically analyzing when he heard his master sneer, "Don't look at Song Ying, the one who did it was Madam Fang."

"what?"

"That's impossible, Master!"

Song Ying and Doctor Ma both didn't believe it. Song Ying suggested, "Mrs. Fang is Han Zhijie's wife. How could it be her?"

Han Zhijie is in critical condition. Moving the medicine jar at this time would be tantamount to asking for his life!

After Han Zhijie died, Madam Fang would become a widow, and her daughter was still so young.

"You are still young and don't understand this. People's hearts are divided by their stomachs. There are many couples who sleep in the same bed and become enemies."

"But Madam Fang cares a lot about her husband. She has been watching over him except during dinner today..."

Speaking of this, Song Ying suddenly remembered that in the evening, Madam Fang was standing by and didn't notice that Han Zhijie had a fever.

Could it be that she didn't fail to notice it due to negligence, but ignored it on purpose?

Doctor Ma also said, "Mrs. Fang doesn't look like that kind of person. There are many children in the pharmacy today. Maybe she was a mischievous kid who didn't know that human lives were at stake and took some away."

Song Ying also thought it might be the case, and she suddenly felt embarrassed. No matter whether it was Song Tian and the other two, or Yuan Shan or Madam Zheng, in the final analysis, it was because of her that Lin Wenxuan let them enter the pharmacy.

Fortunately, she discovered it in time. If Han Zhijie really lost his life because of this, she would be too ashamed to stay in Huichuntang.

Just as they were feeling awkward, Doctor Lin spoke up: "I just tricked her, and her reaction shows that it was her."

Song Ying and Doctor Ma were stunned again.

Song Ying didn't understand. Wasn't Han Zhijie a scholar who had passed the county and prefectural examinations? As long as he passed the academy examination, he would be a scholar, and Madam Fang would be the wife of a scholar.

Why would Madam Fang want her husband to die for no reason?

While thinking, she caught a glimpse of something special among the medicine residue. She reached out and picked it up, wiped off the residue, revealing an almond kernel.

She remembered very clearly that there was absolutely no amygdala in the prescription written by her uncle-master, and there was no amygdala in the prescription that her senior brother recited in the carriage before.

Where did this come from?

"There seemed to be apricots in the candied fruit that Aunt Chen picked for the little girl." Doctor Ma murmured in a low voice, and the last trace of doubt disappeared.

He was silent for a moment, and then he warned Song Ying: "Now that we haven't caught her in the act and don't have solid evidence, don't make it public yet. You have to be extra careful these days, and don't let the medicine pass through her hands from beginning to end."

Song Ying agreed.

"And stay with Han Zhijie, don't leave him alone." Doctor Lin added.

Song Ying nodded again and said, "I will tell you, Senior Brother."

At this point, she thought of Lin Wenxuan, who was still in the same room with Madam Fang, and said, "I'll go over and take a look."

When she pushed open the door of the clinic, she saw Madam Fang holding her daughter, sitting in the place where patients usually waited for their consultations. In the inner room, the curtain was half open, and she could see Lin Wenxuan sitting in front of Han Zhijie's couch, wringing out a cold towel.

Song Ying then understood why his master had insisted that Lin Wenxuan stay here. It was to force Madam Fang to retreat outside to prevent her from attacking Han Zhijie again.
