Chapter 25 Madam Xie fainted
Xie Jingchun cautiously raised his eyes, then slowly nodded.
He dared not tell his father about this.
Xie Yanli felt a pang of guilt. Why hadn't he asked more questions about the aftermath of the insect poison?
"If anything happens in the future, you can tell your father, and he will make the decision for you."
He was so busy that he didn't even have time to talk to his child, so much so that he only just found out about so many things about his child now.
Xie Yanli couldn't help but turn to look at Qin Jiuwei, his eyes deep and thoughtful.
If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have known that Xie Jue had an upset stomach, and that Xie Jing had been starving himself because he didn't like mutton for dinner...
Xie Jingchun, whom he had always trusted, was actually harming himself...
Raising children is much more difficult than he imagined.
I used to think that as long as the children were healthy and alive, I had raised them well.
But in reality, he couldn't even ensure his child lived a healthy life.
Xie Wanning was surprised to find that it was actually true.
She immediately curled her lip in disgust.
Xie Jingchun is incredibly stupid. Couldn't he just say his leg hurt?
He actually resorted to self-harm! As expected of someone of lowly blood, he's utterly unfit for respectable status.
But soon, Xie Wanning found another mistake by Qin Jiuwei.
She looked at Lin An, who was preparing the medicine.
"You're the imperial physician my sister-in-law invited from the palace? What's your name?"
Lin An was taken aback when he was suddenly mentioned, but he quickly put down what he was holding and bowed.
"Replying to Third Miss, my name is Lin An."
Xie Wanning looked him up and down. "You look so young. When did you enter the palace?"
Lin An respectfully replied, "I entered the palace last year."
Upon hearing this, Xie Wanning let out a cold laugh.
"Sister-in-law, I'm not trying to nitpick, but the imperial physician you invited is far too inexperienced!"
"I know Chun-ge'er isn't your biological son, but you can't be so perfunctory. If you're going to call a royal physician, why not call Physician Zhang, the head of the Imperial Hospital, instead of this physician who just joined the Imperial Hospital not long ago?"
Xie Wanning stared intently at Qin Jiuwei, "Could his medical skills possibly be better than Physician Zhang's?"
Lin An's medical skills are indeed better than Zhang Taiyi's.
Qin Jiuwei silently thought to herself.
Physician Zhang's medical skills are indeed excellent; those who can enter the Imperial Medical Academy are all extraordinary individuals.
However, he was able to become a court judge not because of his superb medical skills, but purely because he curried favor with Consort Xian.
Lin An was not good at ingratiating himself with the nobles in the palace; he simply worked quietly in the Imperial Hospital.
However, patients treated by him always recovered faster and had no other complications.
That's why she decided to win over Lin An in her previous life and make him her confidant.
She only felt at ease when Lin An treated Xie Jingchun.
Xie Wanning frowned, looking heartbroken.
"Sister-in-law, we've all seen how well you've treated Jue-ge and Jing-ge these past few days, but we never expected you to be so biased!"
"They treated them with such care, but when it came to Chun-ge'er, they just found some unknown imperial physician!"
Xie Yanli's brow bulged.
After spending these days together, he naturally knew that Qin Jiuwei was not a mean-spirited woman.
But he also wondered why Qin Jiuwei hadn't invited Judge Zhang.
After all, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy was the most skilled and senior physician in the Imperial Medical Academy.
Qin Jiuwei glanced at Xie Wanning indifferently, without answering her question, and said instead, "We'll know how good Physician Lin's medical skills are after he sees her."
"The imperial physicians of the Imperial Medical Academy are ultimately quite good."
She couldn't explain why she chose Lin An to see a doctor.
You can't exactly say that Lin An treated her many times in her past life, so you know he's a very good doctor...
She'd probably be considered crazy...
Xie Wanning was certainly unwilling for Qin Jiuwei to let the matter drop so easily.
She said in a sharp voice, "How can this be? What if he misdiagnoses the patient like the doctor did six months ago?"
"Brother, why don't we go to the palace now and invite Physician Zhang? The illness can't be delayed."
Xie Yanli frowned, about to speak, when Zhang Mama suddenly shouted.
"Madam! Madam, what's wrong?"
Madam Xie closed her eyes and fainted.
Granny Zhang and several maids quickly helped her to a soft couch nearby to rest.
Xie Wanning panicked and rushed to the soft couch.
"What's wrong? Grandmother! Grandmother!"
Lin An immediately stepped forward with his medicine box to treat the old lady.
As he approached, Xie Wanning immediately screamed.
"Get away from me! What if you, a quack doctor, make things worse for my grandmother!"
She couldn't trust the young Physician Lin, whose medical skills were probably not very good.
Qin Jiuwei stepped forward and coldly rebuked, "Third Miss, now is not the time for you to act recklessly!"
"Now that Grandmother is in a coma, none of us know what's wrong. Only Physician Lin is skilled in medicine. If we don't let him treat Grandmother, do you expect him to do it?"
Xie Wanning stubbornly insisted, "We don't need him! We can invite the imperial physician from the palace!"
Qin Jiuwei's eyes were icy cold. "Doesn't it take time to summon the imperial physician? If something happens to Grandmother in the meantime, are you going to take responsibility?"
"Qin Jiuwei, what do you mean! You're actually cursing your grandmother!"
"Xie Wanning! Shut up!" Lord Xie suddenly shouted.
He had always disliked the noise in the inner quarters and had always turned a blind eye to it, not wanting to pay attention.
But now that lives are at stake, Xie Wanning is still acting so willfully and arrogantly!
This was the first time Xie Wanning had been scolded like this by her father, and her eyes instantly reddened.
She opened her mouth as if to speak, but when she met Lord Xie's stern gaze, she immediately shrank back.
Qin Jiuwei looked at Lin An and nodded to him.
"Thank you, Physician Lin, for treating the old lady."
Lin An nodded, but a sense of confusion arose in his heart.
Why does this Crown Princess trust him so much? She even went so far as to quarrel with Miss Xie.
But they had never seen it before...
But he quickly regained his senses and stepped forward to begin administering acupuncture to Madam Xie.
Shortly after the last needle fell, Madam Xie slowly woke up.
Zhang Mama's eyes were slightly red. "She's awake! The old lady is awake!"
