Bai Ruozhu scoffed, looking at Hao Baishuang as if she were a clown, then ignored her, moving forward to grasp Mao Xingcai's wrist and began to feel his pulse.
Hao Baishuang rushed forward, shouting, "What are you doing? Let go of my master! You have already killed my cousin before, and now you want to harm my master. Don't touch him!"
Bai Ruozhu still paid her no heed and extended a hand to unbutton Mao Xingcai's collar, but suddenly remembering the propriety between men and women, she turned her head to Jiu Sheng and said, "He's suffering from heatstroke. You take off his coat; the weather is hot and dry, and he is dressed too tightly. Plus, he had been quite emotionally agitated just now."
Everyone present was a doctor, and they could tell that Bai Ruozhu was right. Mao Xingcai was indeed very conservative, wearing his official uniform so tightly even in this scorching heat, which indeed made him susceptible to heatstroke.
