Shen Xingwan was lying on the bed sweating profusely and struggling, his brows furrowed together, which soon alarmed Banxia who was sleeping outside.
Banxia immediately put on her clothes and got up and lit a lamp, "Miss, are you having a nightmare?"
When he opened the bed curtain, he saw that Shen Xingwan had his eyes closed tightly, sweating profusely and blushing profusely.
Banxia's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly stretched out her hand to touch it. It was indeed frighteningly hot.
"Miss, wake up!"
Banxia screamed several times, but Shen Xingwan showed no sign of waking up. Instead, he became quiet and lay dying on the bed.
Banxia was frightened and immediately ran out to call someone.
Shen Tang didn't know where to stay outside, and he couldn't find anyone at all. Fortunately, Qinghong was reliable. When he came in and saw the situation, he was afraid that something would happen and he couldn't take the responsibility.
He said decisively, "You stay and take good care of Miss Xingwan. I will go out with my belt and ask the mother in charge to find a solution."
After Qinghong finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave. Banxia grabbed her and said, "Wait a minute!"
He hurriedly took out a few pieces of silver from the cabinet and gave them to Qing Hong, "Spend where you should, don't skimp."
Qinghong took the silver and nodded, then disappeared into the night.
Banxia found a clean handkerchief and wiped the sweat off Shen Xingwan's body. After thinking about it for a while, she went out and asked the woman who was guarding the door in the yard to go to the kitchen and ask for a pot of hot water.
The mother-in-law was reluctant at first, but after Banxia handed over a purse, she left with a smile on her face.
Soon Ban Xia came back with a bad look on her face, "My mother in charge said that we can't ask the doctor to come in to get medicine until dawn. I have already gotten rid of my mother, and I will go and ask for the doctor as soon as dawn comes."
Banxia opened her mouth to say something, then remembered their current status, and finally just sighed, "Thank you for your hard work. Let's take turns applying the veil to the lady tonight. I hope the temperature can drop."
If the fever persists, something serious will happen.
Qinghong was holding a bottle in her hand. After hearing this, she handed the bottle to Banxia, "This is the white wine given by the steward's mother. She said that if you rub it on your palms and vest, it can effectively cool down."
"Here, help me support Miss, I'll try." Banxia gritted her teeth and said, there is no other way now.
The two of them took turns wiping wine, applying handkerchiefs, and taking good care of Shen Xingwan.
Finally, when the sky was getting slightly brighter, the housekeeper mother Qinghong went to beg for was none other than Aunt Zhou who had taken Shen Xingwan into the house that day.
She was assigned to pick him up at that time, which meant that she was valued in a certain sense. After meeting me, Grandma Zhou also had a good impression of Shen Xingwan.
As soon as it dawned, I immediately sent someone to ask for the doctor, and by the way, I went to report to the old lady myself.
After waiting for almost two hours, the old lady had time to see her. After listening to her report, she pondered for a long time, "Since she is sick, take good care of her and let her recover well."
"Yes, I know." Aunt Zhou resigned.
The old lady narrowed her eyes and said, "Do you think she did this on purpose or was it a coincidence?"
"How about I go take a look for myself?" said Nanny Zhang.
The old lady thought for a moment, "Forget it, whether it's intentional or not, since I'm destined to not be able to participate, let's just let it happen."
This highly anticipated flower viewing party, which has attracted a lot of attention tomorrow, will be held tomorrow.
If Shen Xingwan is really that seriously ill, there is a high probability that he will not be able to participate.
When Shen Tang stepped into the courtyard, Qing Hong and her little girl had just boiled the medicine prescribed by the doctor and were about to take it to the room.
Unexpectedly, he met Shen Tang and immediately half-bent his knees to salute, "Hello, sir."
Shen Tang looked at the medicine in her hand and had a bad feeling in his heart, "Who is sick?"
"Miss, the fever persisted last night. This is the medicine prescribed by the doctor."
When Shen Tang heard this, he became anxious and strode open the door and entered Shen Xingwan's room.
As soon as he entered, he met Banxia who was pouring water and asked, "How are you doing in Xingwan?"
Banxia looked at Qinghong who came in behind and said respectfully, "Master, we are going to give medicine to the young lady. Can you please stay away for a while?"
Shen Tang was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that it was not good for him to go directly into his daughter's room, "I'll go out and wait."
Qinghong and Banxia were holding Shen Xingwan up and feeding her medicine. Fortunately, Shen Xingwan could still swallow by herself and quickly fed her a bowl of medicine.
In the evening, I fed him again.
Banxia touched Shen Xingwan's forehead and found that it was finally not so hot anymore.
Waiting until night, Shen Xingwan didn't wake up and Shen Tang didn't know why he went out.
Banxia didn't dare to sleep at all, so she moved a stool and sat beside the bed to keep watch.
"Water...water..." Shen Xingwan opened his eyes drowsily, feeling that his throat was dry and on fire.
"Miss, you're awake!" Banxia said in surprise.
He quickly poured a glass of water with his hands and feet, held Shen Xingwan's head and fed her.
Shen Xingwan moved and felt that his whole body was sore and painful. He slowly sat up and asked, "What's wrong with me?"
"Miss, you suddenly had a fever last night and scared me!"
Banxia's eyes were red and she recounted what happened last night.
Shen Xingwan was still a little dizzy, and he managed to collect his thoughts, "That's good, I don't have to attend the flower viewing party tomorrow, and it also avoids a lot of trouble."
The next day, Shen Xing slept until noon and didn't wake up until noon. He didn't eat all day and night, and he was already hungry.
Qing Hong brought the fresh and soft chicken porridge cooked in the kitchen. Shen Xingwan slowly ate most of the bowl and finally recovered and gained strength.
"Today's flower viewing party must be very lively." Shen Xingwan couldn't help but said.
Even here, they would occasionally hear noises and the silver bell-like laughter of the little girls.
"I heard that the second young lady and my wife also invited young ladies from other families in Yangzhou to come and play, so it was very lively." Qinghong said truthfully.
Shen Xingwan had a calm look on his face, "It's hard for you to do these two things, you don't have to stay here, just watch the fun."
Qinghong stiffened, but she didn't leave after all. She was still busy with Banxia beside her.
This flower-viewing party, which was expected to last until the evening, ended hastily before the dinner started.
Banxia said while waiting for her to have dinner, "I only know that something happened. I don't know the details. I heard that the news was blocked."
The bustle and bustle during the day immediately became depressing and quiet at night, and the entire Shen family felt like a storm was about to come.
Shen Xingwan smiled, leaned on the chair and said, "This kind of banquet is indeed the most suitable occasion for things to happen."
"Miss, it's not a bad thing to regret missing it." Banxia served her half a bowl of soup.
Shen Xingwan sighed, "If I go in with this identity, good things will not happen to me, but bad things will be hard to say."
"After recovering from illness, let's go." Shen Xingwan said.
She didn't want to get involved with the former crown prince's maternal wife and the daughter-in-law of the Shen family at all.
She doesn't want to turn farming into a palace fight. Her goal is to be a local housewife and open a few small shops to live a happy life.
As for the mission, as long as the heroine doesn't take the initiative to provoke her, she has no intention of taking the initiative.
