288 Chronic Heart Failure

“Yes, and I won’t be back tonight. I’ll go directly to Huichun Hall tomorrow morning. You guys stay at home and study well. Tomorrow, Grandpa Liu will pick you up. I’m taking Big Black with me, so you guys can take the imperial carriage.”

Mo Ruyue warned them, then turned around and left.

She didn’t deliberately try to reason with the babies, but what she said just now actually had a deep meaning. If the babies could calm down and think about it, they would understand what she meant.

After that, Mo Ruyue went back to the room to get the first aid kit and then went to the stables to bring out the big black horse. When she stood in front of the young master again, he still had not come back to his senses.

!!

“Let’s go,” she said.

Now, it was Mo Ruyue who was urging the young master. It was this sentence that made him come back to his senses. He immediately nodded like a pecking rice and repeatedly responded, “Yes, yes. Let’s go.”

He didn’t use the carriage he had prepared and just hurriedly followed behind Mo Ruyue, heading in the direction of the county.

Although Mo Ruyue had been to Guanglai buildings many times, she had never known that the mansion behind the restaurant was the young master’s home.

It was only the distance between the back door and the front door, only a street away.

The restaurant itself was located in the bustling area of the county, and the land here was naturally worth an inch of gold. To be able to occupy such a large piece of land to build a mansion, the young master’s family background was naturally extremely rich.

Mo Ruyue looked at the plaque hanging on the gate of the mansion. On it were two large words: “Bai Manor.”

“Young Master, I just remembered that we’ve known each other for so long, but I still don’t know your full name.”

She turned around to look at the young master. She only knew that his surname was Bai, but she was used to calling him young master, so she had never asked for his full name.

“Lady Qin, my full name is Bai Shiyuan, and my sister’s name is Bai Shijiao,”

The young master answered as he led Mo Ruyue inside.

The two of them only saw the servants rushing by. Even when they saw the young master returning with a woman, they only hurriedly bowed and left. They didn’t even see Mo Ruyue’s face clearly.

“Bai Shijiao, pampered for a hundred generations. That’s a pretty good name.”

Mo Ruyue casually said. From this name, it could be seen that this young lady of the Bai family was very favored.

“That’s right, my younger sister is fourteen years younger than me, and can be considered a child of my parents at an old age. She has been pampered since she was young, and she doesn’t even dare to give the moon or the stars. That’s why my mother was so shocked when she saw my younger sister like that and was bedridden.”

Bai Shiyuan sighed and tried his best to answer Mo Ruyue’s questions.

“Fourteen years old? How old is she this year?”

Mo Ruyue sized up Bai Shiyuan. He looked to be around twenty years old. Since Bai Shijiao was fourteen years younger than him, she should not be too old.

“My younger sister is thirteen this year, and will be of marriageable age next year.”

Bai Shiyuan had just finished speaking when he looked up and saw his parents’ room. He immediately said to Mo Ruyue, “Lady Qin, this is my mother’s room. Because she is sick, my father temporarily moved to aunt’s house. This place is left for my mother to recuperate in peace.”

“Please take a look at her first. The situation is urgent now, so I can only ask my mother to come first.”

Mo Ruyue nodded and then stepped into the door. However, as soon as she entered, she frowned.

Even though the entire room was filled with the strong smell of Chinese medicine, she was still keenly aware of a strange fragrance.

The fragrance was very greasy and sweet at first, but after smelling it for a long time, one would feel dizzy and nauseated. Then, the fragrance would turn into an unpleasant smell.

Because Mo Ruyue’s five senses were extremely sharp, the process from the fragrance to the stench was extremely short, so it raised her vigilance.

However, she had yet to come into contact with the patient. Before confirming the patient’s condition, she would not easily express any opinions.

“Lady Qin, is there something wrong?”

Bai Shiyuan, who was following behind her, immediately saw the expression on Mo Ruyue’s face and immediately asked.

“Although patients need to be kept warm, they also need to pay attention to ventilation. This room has been suffocated for a long time, and it smells rotten. How can it be beneficial to the patient’s recovery?”

“Ah, right, right, Lady Qin is right. I’ll ask people to open the windows for ventilation.”

Bai Shiyuan immediately wanted to call for help but was stopped by Mo Ruyue.

“Wait, young master, you’re really impatient. Even if you want to get some air, you should wait until I’ve checked the patient, right? ”

Mo Ruyue’s words did not mean to blame Bai Shiyuan. On the contrary, she could now understand his feelings of being in a mess because of himself. So, besides wanting to keep the evidence for the time being, those words were also a simple reminder to him.

At this time, Bai Shiyuan’s face was already red. Although he was almost about to run into third year, was six or seven years older than Mo Ruyue’s original body, and was also the young master of the restaurant, he was now as ill-at-ease as a seventeen or eighteen-year-old teenager.

He originally wanted to help, but he didn’t expect to almost make things worse.

“Young Master, I’ll have to trouble you to wait outside the screen. I’ll go check on your mother’s condition.”

Mo Ruyue did not waste time on unimportant matters. She greeted Bai Shiyuan directly and went behind the screen.

She had once treated the wife of the county magistrate, Chen Luyu, Madam Du. However, even though the county magistrate held an official position, in terms of wealth, he was far inferior to the Bai family.

Madam Bai’s bed had been carved out of sandalwood.

As for sandalwood, Mo Ruyue remembered that in her previous life, there was a giant white sandalwood Buddha in the Yonghe Palace in the imperial capital. It was 26 meters tall and 3 meters wide. It was carved from an entire sandalwood tree. It was an unparalleled art treasure.

From this, one could imagine how high the value of sandalwood products was, and it was not difficult to guess how rich the Bai family was.

It was just that the Bai family seemed to be living a quiet and low-key life in Guanglai building. If it wasn’t someone who was invited to be a guest, they wouldn’t have noticed that such a rich man was hidden by their side.

However, this had nothing to do with Mo Ruyue. She saw through it but didn’t say anything. She just started to check on Madam Bai’s condition.

From her pulse, Madam Bai’s pulse came quickly, had an irregular rhythm, and would relapse every now and then, like a bird pecking at her food. This was a sign of her bad temper, which was more common in rheumatic heart disease, coronary heart disease, and myocardial infarction.

“Young Master, how is your mother’s health? Does she have symptoms such as chest tightness, shortness of breath, convulsing, nightmares, and so on?”

Mo Ruyue asked the person outside the screen without turning back.

“My mother has always been in good health. Although she would occasionally have a headache and fever, she has never been seriously ill. That’s why this illness came in such a menacing manner that my father and I were caught off guard, and we were particularly frightened and helpless.”

Bai Shiyuan’s answer also added some evidence to Mo Ruyue’s guess, allowing her to have a rough idea of what was going on.

After a series of examinations, Mo Ruyue came to the conclusion that Madam Bai was suffering from a chronic heart failure and had symptoms of a heart attack. If she had not returned with Bai Shiyuan today, Madam Bai would not have been able to make it through the night.
