Chapter 140 Give it a try?
"At that time, I'm afraid the master will dislike the master even more..."
Fourth Aunt bit her lip: "So I'll just let her ridicule me like this?"
"Why don't you go and ask a doctor first, Master?"
Fourth Aunt was naturally not going to suffer such a loss in silence. Hearing what the nanny said, she immediately agreed: "Go find the doctor!"
The doctor was brought in quickly.
"The white part in chicken droppings can indeed be used as medicine. The efficacy is not wrong either. However, this medicine is mostly used for internal use. It is dried in the sun, roasted over a low heat, with a little white wine added during the roasting process, and then ground and kneaded into pills for consumption."
Fourth Aunt shuddered, feeling utterly disgusted.
"However, some people in the general public do use it externally to treat certain sores and rashes..."
Fourth Aunt took a deep breath: "I understand, it's alright, you can go now."
The doctor acknowledged and was about to leave when he heard Fourth Aunt ask, "If I don't use any medicine, how long will it take for these rashes on my face and body to heal?"
The doctor paused for a moment: "It's hard to say. Keep a good mood, dress appropriately, and drink more herbal tea to clear liver heat. You should be fully recovered in about ten days."
"More than ten days?" Fourth Aunt exclaimed in surprise.
The doctor nodded, packed his things, and left.
Fourth Aunt bit her lip, stood up and went back to the inner room. Then she sat down in front of the bronze mirror and took off her veil.
As soon as the veil was removed, her current appearance was reflected in the bronze mirror.
Her once fair and delicate face was now completely red, covered with patches of red rashes, making her look particularly frightening.
But Fourth Aunt knew that it wasn't just on her face.
And it's all over my body, hands, and legs.
"Ah! Ah!" Fourth Aunt screamed twice, raised her hand, and threw the bronze mirror to the ground. The bronze mirror hit the ground with a loud bang.
Fourth Aunt covered her face in frustration.
It will take another ten days or so to recover, even with proper care.
First of all, making her feel good is not easy. So many things have happened in her courtyard, her face and body have become like this, the master has also become disgusted with her, and that slut Ye Qing'an is always hanging around her.
How can she be in a good mood?
Fourth Aunt gritted her teeth, trembling with anger.
"I'm so angry! I'm so angry! That little bitch Ye Qing'an, why didn't she die? It's all her fault, all her fault!"
"It must have been her and that Physician Xu who poisoned me! That bunch of quacks in the manor! Quacks!"
The old nanny came in and overheard Fourth Madam's words. She quickly said, "Master, you mustn't say such things. Even though we're in our own courtyard, who can guarantee that there aren't ears over the walls?"
Fourth Aunt took a deep breath and raised her face: "I want to see Madam! I want to see Madam!"
"My lord! You must not provoke the madam now! The madam herself is in dire straits, barely able to save herself. Look, the power of managing the household has now fallen into the hands of the sixth concubine, and the eldest son has run into trouble and been summoned to the palace. We have no idea what the situation is now."
"If you go and make a scene in front of Madam at this time, what do you think she will do?"
Fourth Aunt gritted her teeth: "Then what should I do? Just endure it like this? Just let me suffer with this face and this body for ten days or half a month, and let everyone in the mansion laugh at me?"
The old woman cautiously glanced at Fourth Madam's face: "The doctor said that chicken droppings... no, chicken excrement is indeed a medicinal ingredient, and the folk remedy that Miss mentioned is also true. Why don't you... give it a try, Master?"
"You want me to smear chicken droppings on my face?" Fourth Aunt's face immediately turned cold: "Impossible, I would never do that under any circumstances."
"You don't need to apply it to your face first. Try it on your body now, on your legs, or your back... Firstly, those areas are less noticeable, and secondly, we can see the effect first."
Fourth Aunt was somewhat tempted.
The old woman had been by her side for quite some time and was naturally very sensitive to her mistress's emotional changes: "Besides, since chicken droppings can be used in medicine, they should have already been processed and not actually taken directly from chicken droppings..."
"I will go to the pharmacy to buy some and apply it secretly in the room. I will keep it a secret and only you and I will know. I will never let a third person know."
Fourth Aunt bit her lip, raised her hand to touch her bumpy, uneven face, and finally made up her mind: "Fine, go. I'll remember this grudge, and in the future, I will make that little bitch Ye Qing'an pay the price."
"Tell her to wait, just wait for me. I will definitely not let her off the hook."
The old woman lowered her eyes, bowed, and retreated.
"So she really went to buy it?" Ye Qing'an wasn't too surprised when Jiu Xiao mentioned it, but she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. "Excellent. Considering that she only spread some rumors and made up stories about me, I will only give her a small punishment."
"Let her taste the smell of chicken poop smeared all over her body and face."
"I'll ask Yi Moxu for the antidote later. Tonight, you can secretly put the antidote in the chicken droppings they bought. If she finds it effective, she'll definitely put it on her face too."
Ye Qing'an curled her lips into a smile: "Women, especially the women in the inner quarters. They'll do anything for that face."
Jiu Xiao clicked his tongue and glanced at Ye Qing'an again: "Women and petty men are the hardest to deal with. The ancients were right."
Ye Qing'an chuckled: "So, don't mess with me easily, or you might not be able to handle me when I get angry."
Jiuxiao clicked his tongue: "Someone's here."
When Ye Qing'an left the Dreamland of Clouds, she saw that the ink on the portrait hanging on the desk had completely dried, so she picked it up.
As soon as Granny Wei stepped in, she saw Ye Qing'an carrying a portrait in her hand. The person in the portrait had a face that she knew all too well.
Granny Wei was taken aback, and then felt a slight sting in her eyes: "Why did you suddenly think of painting a portrait of Madam, Miss?"
Ye Qing'an turned around and glanced at Granny Wei: "A few days ago, I was chatting with Fei Ran, and he asked me if I had ever seen my mother. I then remembered that he had never seen what his mother looked like since he was born. So I drew a picture so that Fei Ran could see what his mother looked like and remember it in his heart."
“The second young master is also a pitiful person.” Granny Wei sighed, “Alas… it’s been almost nine years.”
Ye Qing'an nodded, not wanting to say more to her, and asked, "Granny, is there something you need?"
Then it dawned on Wei Mama: "Ah, it's Physician Xu. Physician Xu is here again. He went to see the young master..."
