In the bedroom.
At this time, a day and a night had passed since Ling Chu fainted.
The two maids, Xia Zhi and Liu Xiangju, stayed on the bed fully clothed and took care of her personally.
The two of them stared at the girl lying silently on the bed with haggard faces. Although they prayed countless times in their hearts, she still showed no sign of waking up.
The two maids felt more and more uneasy. They didn't know what happened to Ling Chu. Although he didn't have a fever, he was still unconscious.
Liu Xiangju's eyes were red, "Xia Zhi, look at the girl, I will cook another medicine."
After staying up all day and night, Xia Zhi's voice became hoarse, but she still didn't go to rest. She just whispered, “Go and move quickly.”
Liu Xiangju nodded vigorously and quickly walked out of the bedroom.
It didn't take long for the fried medicine to be brought in.
Xia Zhi quickly sat on the bed, helped Ling Chu up, and half leaned on her.
Liu Xiangju held the bowl in one hand and scooped out a spoonful of medicine with a spoon in the other hand, blew it gently, and then fed it to Ling Chu's mouth.
However, Ling Chu, who was in a coma, had almost no ability to swallow, and most of the spoonful of medicine flowed out from his mouth.
Xia Zhi pursed her lips, supported Ling Chu, and with one free hand, picked up the handkerchief and wiped the concoction away from her mouth.
Liu Xiangju scooped up another spoonful of medicine and continued feeding.
In this way, the two of them worked together to give Ling Chu medicine.
But seeing more and more medicine leaking out, the tears in Liu Xiangju's eyes fell down with just a few mouthfuls.
Xia Zhi also felt extremely uncomfortable. Now that they had no father or mother, they relied on Ling Chu to survive. Everyone in the Ling Mansion is so indifferent to the girl who is their closest blood relative.
And they were just two insignificant little maids. They couldn't imagine what would happen to them if something happened to Ling Chu.
Xia Zhi carefully put Ling Chu back on the bed and said to Liu Xiangju in a dumb voice, "Don't cry. The girl's clothes are stained with the concoction. Please quickly change her clothes to something clean. I'll beg the madam again, no matter what she does this time." No matter what, I must call a doctor for the girl."
Liu Xiangju also knew that crying was useless, but she couldn't help but feel sorry for the girl.
She has been sleeping for a day and a night. No one has called the doctor for the girl, and no one in the house has even paid any attention to her.
Liu Xiangju wiped her tears with her hands and said to Xia Zhi in a hoarse voice, "Don't go begging the wife. The mansion is rebuilding the ancestral hall. Go and see if the old man is over there. Go and beg the old man for the girl." Please doctor."
Xia Zhi nodded solemnly, walked out of the courtyard and went straight to the ancestral hall.
Seeing Ling Zong supervising the craftsmen building the wall from a distance, Xia Zhi quickly quickened his pace.
"Sir," Xia Zhi rushed to Ling Zong, took a breath and said urgently, "please, can you hire a doctor for the girl?"
Ling Zong looked strange, "What's wrong with the big girl?"
“The eldest girl has been sleeping all day and night. She can't wake up no matter how hard she screams, and she can't swallow even if she's fed.”
Ling Zong's expression changed, "What's going on? Why is Sister Chu falling asleep? Have you called a doctor?"
Xia Zhi didn't expect that the elder didn't know about Ling Chu's fainting.
Thinking of the indifference of Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Dong, Xia Zhi was heartbroken, "The eldest lady suddenly fainted when she was greeting Mrs. Tai and the others in the main hall. I begged Mrs. Tai and Madam to call a doctor for the girl, but they only said The girl is tired, just take a rest."
Ling Zong's face changed several times in succession. He knew that neither his mother nor his wife liked the eldest daughter, so he subconsciously wanted to say that since he was tired, he should continue to rest. But facing the maid's pleading eyes, no words came out of her mouth.
That's all, after all, it's his daughter who has been sleeping for such a long time, so she can't just ignore her.
Ling Zong knew that a carriage would be set up at Xia Zhi, "Since the eldest girl is unconscious, go and ask a doctor to come back quickly."
Xia Zhi was overjoyed, but "the gatekeeper wouldn't let me leave the house, saying that I couldn't come in or out at will without the orders of the Tai Madam and the Eldest Madam."
Ling Zong frowned, "Tell the gatekeeper that I agreed to your leaving the house. If she stops you again, let her come to me."
"Thank you, sir." Xia Zhi hurriedly bowed, turned around and left in a hurry.
Ling Zong glanced at the busy craftsmen, hesitated for a while, then turned and went to the main courtyard.
The Dongs and others are talking to the Mrs. Tai.
Seeing Ling Zong come in, the wife raised her eyes and looked over, "Why are you here? How is the construction of the ancestral hall going?"
"The craftsmen are busy," Ling Zong replied casually, and then asked, "I heard that Sister Chu suddenly fainted when she came to pay her respects. She has been sleeping for a day and a night. Why didn't she call a doctor?"
Mrs. Tai didn't expect that he came here to ask about this matter, and her face suddenly darkened.
A flash of unhappiness flashed through Mrs. Dong's heart. After suppressing her anger, she put down the tea cup in her hand. He raised his eyes and whispered to Ling Zong, "Master, Sister Chu just came back from the house that day, and my mother just asked her if she was setting up a stall to tell fortunes again.
She didn't say anything and fainted immediately.
My mother and I have advised her several times before that if a girl always shows herself outside, she will not only be criticized by others, but she will also bring down the reputation of her brothers and sisters in the house.
No matter how we tried to persuade her, Chu Jieer still insisted on setting up a stall.
I thought she was not in good health, maybe she was tired, so she fainted. It was not a big deal. It's time to take this opportunity to let her reflect and reflect, to see if she will act so willfully in the future. "
Mrs. Dong glanced at Mrs. Dong and said to the eldest son with a stern face, "Okay, you don't need to pay attention to the things in the backyard. I will let people watch Sister Chu's side and won't let anything happen to her. You should go back and look at the ancestral hall. Construction over there.”
Although Ling Zong felt that it was not good for his eldest daughter to insist on going out to show off and set up a stall, his mother and wife did not ask a doctor, which was a bit too much. But he couldn't say much about the identity of these two people, so he could only put down the tea cup in his hand, turned around and left the main hall.
Xia Zhi hurried to the hospital in a carriage and quickly invited a doctor to come in.
The two maids waited expectantly for the doctor to diagnose and treat Ling Chu.
However, as the doctor checked his pulse, his brows became more and more frowned.
Seeing him take back his hand, Xia Zhi and Liu Xiangju asked in unison, "Doctor, how is my girl?"
The doctor put away the pulse pillow and shook his head, "I'm sorry that I can't do anything. This girl is dying. You should prepare for the funeral as soon as possible."
As soon as these words were spoken, the hearts of the two maids quickly sank.
In the blink of an eye, tears fell one after another.
Although they didn't get along with Ling Chu for a long time, the two of them already regarded her as a relative who depended on each other for life.
Soon Xia Zhi raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, "The girl will definitely be fine. I will ask a doctor to come back."
Ling Chu: Where is the ticket? If I don't come, I will die.
