Meng Bo Wen was currently outside the room pacing back and forth. Upon seeing Du Xiao Li, he quickly went forward and said, "Xiao Li, you're finally here, quickly come save your grandma Meng."
Du Xiao Li patted Meng Bo Wen's hand to comfort him, "Grandpa Meng, don't worry, I'll go examine grandma Meng first."
"En, quickly go." Meng Bo Wen pulled Du Xiao Li inside. They entered the inner room and saw lying on the bed Meng Old Madam.
"Xiao Li, you're finally here." Madam Meng was currently by the bedside monitoring Meng Old Madam's condition. Seeing Du Xiao Li come in, she quickly got up.
"Aunty Meng, don't worry, let me see first." Du Xiao Li said and came to Meng Old Madam's bedside, beginning to carefully examine her. After awhile, she finally said, "Grandma Meng's illness is more or less the same as grandpa Meng's last time, but grandma Meng's is rather urgent, thus a little more serious. I need my tools to be able to treat her."
"Is it that kind of needle?" Madam Meng asked.
Du Xiao Li nodded and said, "I'll go back and fetch them immediately."
"No need. After we returned, I had someone forge a set according to those needles of yours, see if they're okay?" Madam Meng said.
Very soon, a servant girl came in carrying a case. Du Xiao Li took the case and saw that the needles were about the same as her own silver needles. Looking them over, she found that the main needles were all there. "Alright, this will do. Prepare a clean basin and cotton cloth, and have strong alcohol poured into the basin."
Very soon, everything that needed to be prepared were all done. Du Xiao Li let Old Master Meng and Meng Jiang Xin all go out, and then let Meng Jiang Zhuo have Meng Old Madam's clothes all stripped. She then immediately began performing acupuncture.
This was Meng Jiang Zhuo's first time seeing Du Xiao Li treat an illness, and also her first time witnessing acupuncture therapy. Watching such long silver needles inserted into her grandmother's body, she felt goosebumps all over her body. Fortunately, she firmly controlled herself, and thus didn't scream out.
Meng Old Madam's body already was pricked full of dense needles, appearing somewhat frightening. From the amount of needles inserted this time, they all could tell her illness this time was much more severe than Meng Bo Wen's last time.
An hour later, Du Xiao Li finally let out a heavy sigh and turned to Madam Meng, "Done."
"Xiao Li, that's it?" Meng Jiang Zhuo asked.
"The symptoms have already been controlled, she temporarily won't have any life threatening worries. If just a little later, then even I wouldn't be able to turn around this hopeless situation." Du Xiao Li replied, "I'll prescribe some medicine for grandma Meng, she'll be fine after ingesting. I'll remove the needles first."
Du Xiao Li had the needles on Meng Old Madam's body slowly removed, and then let Meng Jiang Zhuo properly put on her clothes, while she went before the table. On the table, the brush, ink, and paper were already long prepared. She thought for a moment and lifted the brush, quickly writing on the paper.
Meng Jiang Zhuo approached her, looking to the words Du Xiao Li wrote, and said, "I just knew Xiao Li is a person with hidden talent. Just look at how pretty this handwriting is. But, Xiao Li, when can my grandmother finally wake up."
Du Xiao Li finished writing the prescription, and Madam Meng quickly let someone go prepare the medicine. Du Xiao Li gazed to Mend Old Madam on the bed and said, "Grandma Meng's situation is relatively serious, need to wait until tonight after drinking the medicine, before she can wake up. Once she wakes up, prepare for her some light porridge. Those fish and meat, and also other tonics all can't be ingested. In the future, the flavor of her meals also need to be as light as possible."
"En, we know." Meng Jiang Zhuo nodded, and then looked to Du Xiao Li and said, "Xiao Li, tonight, can you not go back?"
"En?"
"If you're here, then tonight, if something happens, it'll be easily to ask you to check grandmother." Meng Jiang Zhuo said.
"That's right Xiao Li, how about tonight, you just stay here. I'll let someone go inform Prime Minister Du, then send a servant girl to deliver a change of clothes over for you." Madam Meng added.
Du Xiao Li thought for a moment. Although Meng Old Madam already didn't have any major problems, she still was elderly in years after all. Moreover, this illness was also rather urgent, and it's not much for her to stay behind either. Thus, she agreed.
Madam Meng thus send someone to inform Du Yun Han, saying Du Xiao Li and Meng Jiang Zhuo got along at first sight, inviting her to Meng Manor to play, and won't be returning tonight. She also mentioned to let Xia Yuan have Du Xiao Li's necessities all brought over.
Du Yun Han didn't doubt her and nodded in agreement, letting Xia Yuan have Du Xiao Li's things all taken over.
Before dinner, Meng family's current head of the family, Meng Wei Ren returned. After learning that his mother was seriously ill, without even changing his clothes, he directly headed to Meng Old Madam's courtyard.
"How's mother?" Meng Wei Ren entered Meng Old Madam's room and asked.
"Master." Madam Meng saw her own husband return and got up to greet him.
"How's mother's situation?" Meng Wei Ren asked a second time.
"Previously, the imperial physicians all say there's no cure. Afterwards, we let Xiao Li treat her, and now there's already no major problems." Madam Meng replied.
"Why wasn't I informed that mother was seriously ill?!" Meng Wei Ren reprimanded with a grave expression.
"By the time, we sent someone to look for master, you were already summoned into the palace by his Majesty." Madam Meng explained. "Fortunately, Xiao Li saved mother, and right now there's already no more major issues. Just her body is rather weak, and need to properly recuperate."
At this time, Du Xiao Li and Meng Jiang Zhuo came out from the inner room. Seeing Meng Wei Ren, Meng Zhuo Jiang called out 'father'.
"Greetings Imperial Tutor Meng." Du Xiao Li bowed towards Meng Wei Ren.
"I'm older than your father, so you can just call me uncle Meng." Meng Wei Ren said, and then heavily bowed at the waist towards Du Xiao Li, "Thank you for saving my father and mother. Previously, I even wanted to visit to express my gratitude, but my father said you didn't want the matter to be known, thus it was dropped."
(T/N: English is not advance enough for all the chinese family terms lmaoo; he asks her to call him 'bobo' which is specifically for uncles that are older than one's father.)
"Uncle Meng is too serious." Du Xiao Li quickly went forward to stop Meng Wei Ren.
"Father, with you being like this, Xiao Li will feel embarrassed." Meng Jiang Zhuo went up and said.
"Master, I've let Xiao Li stay overnight in the manor tonight, in case something happens to mother, it'll be easier to let her come have a look." Madam Meng said.
"En, this way is good too. As such, we'll have to continue troubling you, Xiao Li." Meng Wei Ren looked to Du Xiao Li and said.
"I'll do my best." Du Xiao Li replied.
This night, Du Xiao Li didn't sleep in the place Madam Meng arranged for her, but rather directly slept in the room next door to Meng Old Madam's room. Deep into the night, Meng Old Madam woke up. Du Xiao Li went over for a look, examining her in the process. After confirming that she was fine, she finally returned to her room to sleep.
