Chapter 280: A dose of fierce medicine

Song Qi accepted order and came out; Xia Chunyu stopped him and whispered, “Did second lady ask you to send a message to Mu’s family?”

Song Qi also prevaricated and refused to say, “Second lady didn’t say that I could tell you.”

Xia Chunyu really wanted to kick this ungrateful guy out.

All right, he would bear it until he’s done with Yaoyao and see how he can settle accounts with these guys.

“So … how is the second lady feeling?”

Song Qi smiled and said, “Heir-son Lord, the second lady is just in a bad mood when she saw you, when she talked to me, she was very easy-going.”

Xia Chunyu couldn’t bear it. He was knocked his head and shouted, “Fuck off …”

Song Qi happily ran away.

As he ran, he thought, “Ah … what should I do?” Supposedly, he should be sympathetic when he saw that the Heir-son Lord was rejected, but how could he be so happy? Song Qi, you were too unkind.

Xia Chunyu summoned up his courage and was about to enter the room when he heard Xueye saying, “Great lady, why are you here?”

Xia Chunyu turned his head and looked, really was the eldest sister – in – law.

Xia Chunyu sneezed in chagrin and did not greet her. Instead, he covered his nose and said, “Sister – in – law, I’m cold and I have to stay away from you.”

Qiao Mingxiu said with concern, “You are getting cold! Then look for a doctor. ”

Xia Chunyu smiled wryly: “It’s okay. It’s okay.” He swaggered to his study.

Qiao Mingxiu endured laughing. Just now, the second brother was wandering at the door; she saw he wanted to enter but dared not. The second sister-in-law was really down a peg or two. If only Chunli could be so obedient.

Today, she came to persuade the second sister-in-law by order of her mother – in – law, of course, she also wanted to come. Last night, a big event happened in the mansion, Chunfeng and Liuli went to the ancestral hall to kneel, but she knew nothing about it.

After she heard this morning, she nearly fell down her chin and the flames of gossip were blazing. She was lazy and uncomfortable to greet You every morning, but she went to the scene this morning.

The mother-in-law was very tight – mouthed, saying that Liuli and Jinxuan were having a bad time which made Chunyu couple quarreled. She was relieved to do peacemaker, and she gladly took the order, just asking what was going on and what let Liuli knelt down.

Ye Jiayao invited Qiao into the room and ordered Xiangtao to serve tea.

Qiao looked around and was surprised. “How can you live in this house? This place is so humble, can you live in it?”

Ye Jiayao thought, what do you mean? This house is not good?

“Oh, the main building is leaking and is looking for someone to repair it!” I can’t live for the time being,” Ye Jiayao disguised.

She didn’t want to say, because the bed in that room was split by her, the matter of Xia Chunyu and Jinyao rolling together must not be known to others.

Qiao didn’t believe it, but she couldn’t ask, “I went to greet my mother this morning. I heard you couples are having a hard time.”

Ye Jiayao smiled: “It’s not an awkward situation, it’s just a misunderstanding.”

Qiao said with a smile, “I said it’s okay. Chunyu doesn’t know how much it hurt you. What can I do for you? Mother is still not at ease. She told me that I must come and see you.”

Ye Jiayao smiled and said nothing; I thought it was you who want to come!

Qiao took a sip of tea and sighed, “Why can’t you get along with the third sister-in-law all the time? Now she had to go to the ancestral hall to be punished and brought trouble to Chunfeng.”

“The family should get along well with each other, such a scene would be a joke to others.”

Ye Jiayao carried tea, pulled up the leaves floating on it and quietly listened to Qiao’s talk.

“I was curious, what did she do to you?” Qiao saw that Ye Jiayao didn’t speak and couldn’t help heading straight to the point.

Ye Jiayao said with a smile, “This matter had already passed. I don’t want to mention it any more. Otherwise it seems that I am very mean.”

If Qiao wanted to know, go ask her.

Qiao was depressed, why second sister-in-law`s mouth was tighter than the mother – in – law’s! This showed that the problem was not small.

She sighed again and said, “Ah, last time the third sister-in-law asked me to send you cordyceps, I thought there was no problem between you!”

When Ye Jiayao heard this, her heart thumped: “Sister, I thought it was you who sent the cordyceps?”

She remembered what Qiao said at that time.

Qiao paused, oh, she forgot!

“Well, yes, that was because the third sister-in-law were afraid of you to think too much, so I said it was from me.” I couldn’t hide it anymore, Qiao said everything.

Ye Jiayao drummed in her heart, was Liuli really so kind? Maybe she put poison in it. The package of cordyceps had eaten less than a half of it. It was all used in stewed chicken for Chunyu. I didn’t see anything wrong with Chunyu…

After Qiao’s departure, Ye Jiayao asked Qiao Xi, “Is the Cordyceps still there from great lady?”

Qiao Xi recalled and said: ” still there, last time the second lady was going to see Mrs Zhu of the Su mansion and asked me to prepare some tonic. When I saw that there was not much left in the bag of cordyceps, I took a new bag.”

“You go and get it.” The more Ye Jiayao thought, the more problems she had.

When Qiao Xi saw that the second lady was dark – faced, she went to the kitchenette to fetch half a bag of cordyceps.

When Ye Jiayao opened it, she didn’t know much about medicinal materials. She looked at the root of the cordyceps, which was about four or five centimeters long, had eight pairs of feet and was brown. It should be the best cordyceps. It seemed to have a special smell after picking up one. “Qiao Xi, you go to Renhe Hall and ask the doctor there to see if there is any problem with the cordyceps.”

If there was any problem, she would have another bill with Liuli.

Qiao Xi took cordyceps out of the house, and Ye Jiayao leaned on the couch to rest. She couldn’t help worrying about the guy again, so she got up again and called for Xiangtao: “where’s the Heir-son Lord?”

“Heir-son Lord is in the study! I just sent tea and saw him fell asleep on the table. I did not dare to wake him, so I covered him with a blanket.” Xiangtao replied.

Ye Jiayao said, “You asked the steward to bring a doctor. Don’t say I asked for him; just say the lady knew it and the lady asked for it.”

Xiangtao replied, thought: I’ll tell the Heir-son Lord later and he would be very happy that the second lady still loves him.

Xia Chunyu slept groggy on the table and didn’t sleep for two nights. It was not a rare thing for him. During the war, he marched for several days and nights and fought an ambush. An ambush lasted for several days and could not relax for a moment. He didn’t feel so tired after all that hard work. Now he was tired and helpless.

” Heir-son Lord… Heir-son Lord…”.

Xia Chunyu opened his eyes in a daze. He saw that Xiangtao was calling him, and behind him stood an old man carrying a medicine cabinet.

“Heir-son Lord, the doctor is here. Let the doctor have a look.” Xiangtao motioned for the doctor to come and felt the pulse.

Xia Chunyu held out his hand lazily. He was dizzy and felt the breath in his nose was very hot.

The doctor diagnosed his pulse, looked at his tongue coating and tested his body temperature. He said, “Heir-son Lord, you are cold in the body, and it is difficult to ease the stagnation in the body, so you have started to get hot. I’ll prescribe a medicine for you. Take it first, and let the heat subside first.”

The doctor said to write a prescription, followed by Xiangtao, and listened to the doctor’s instructions to drink more water, eat more vegetables and not eat chickens or fish for the time being.

Xia Chunyu supported his forehead; his worry was difficult to ease. It seemed that he still had a heart disease. This was too bad. Tigers have such a weak time.

Suddenly, he looked up at Xiangtao, who was listening to the doctor in the outer room, and asked her to come in.

“Xiangtao, who called the doctor?”

Xiangtao blinked, eyes full of sly smile: “Heir-son Lord, what do you think?”

Xia Chunyu’s eyes gradually brightened and he brought a smile: “Is it second lady?”

Xiangtao said, “Second lady said she didn’t ask for it. Madam asked for it.”

Xia Chunyu smiled, Yaoyao, it seemed that you still care about me!

Xiangtao smiled and said, “Heir-son Lord, you just have to work harder.”

Xia Chunyu laid his hand on the table, looked at her with a leisurely manner and said with a smile, “All right, this time you can see clearly. A room full of servants, you have the most conscience.”

Xiangtao smiled triumphantly: “Don’t say that, Heir-son Lord. In fact, everyone is very concerned about you and deliberately ignores Heir-son Lord, but they just want to make second lady more distressed.”

Xia Chunyu slurped, “This is really a sweet talk. I’m sure I’ll reward you a lot later.”

Others may think so, but he could be sure that Song Qi betrayed, the traitor.

“The best reward for me is the early reconciliation between you and the second lady,” said Xiang Tao.

Xia Chunyu turned his eyeballs and beckoned to Xiangtao to come close. She gave such a command in her ear that Xiangtao nodded repeatedly.

Ye Jiayao knew the doctor was coming, and her heart was at ease. It was not a big problem to catch cold and have a fever. Just took a few patches of medicine, and nothing to worry about.

A little while later, Xiangtao talked back and forth.

“Second lady, you see, this is the prescription prescribed by the doctor.”

Ye Jiayao came over and looked at it: “I can’t understand it. Let people prescribe the medicine.”

Xiangtao said with a mournful face: “The doctor said it was quite serious. The prince is not just suffering from the cold.”

Ye Jiayao heard a pull in her heart: “What did the doctor say?”

Xiangtao said, “The doctor said that Heir-son Lord was angry at first, then his heart went something wrong. If he let the cold invade again, the problem would be serious and it would turn into typhoid fever.”

Ye Jiayao thriller: “What?”

Her medical knowledge was shallow enough to know that colds and typhoid fever was not the same thing. The latter was much more serious and may even lose their lives. After all, ancient medicine was not as prosperous and bright as modern medicine.

Look at the second lady’s scared face, Xiangtao some feel sorry, thought, would Heir-son Lord be too hard? However, Heir-son Lord said that the second lady had softened her heart and now owes a dose of fierce medicine.

“I … I also don`t understand, maybe you can ask the doctor?” Xiangtao said.

Ye Jiayao was in chaos and said, “Let the doctor in.”
