148 Thank You Very Much for Miao’s Reward
A gust of wind blew over with the cold rain. Yu Jianjia, who was standing alone at the side, immediately felt that her body was completely cold. She couldn’t help but cough.
In just two to three months!
The lazy Yu Shuangbai became dedicated and learned things seriously. Yu Fangfei, who was a little timid in the past, was also more generous and lively. Even Yu Lianyu did not get too close to her and kept circling around Yu Youyao.
It was as though if Yu Youyao advanced, so did the others.
They were really sisters who went through life together.

Zhou Linghuai was guarding the bed.
At noon, the wood was brownish-yellow in color, and his pale face was stained with some emotions. He took out the wood and weighed it in his hand. He tapped it gently with his fingers a few times and listened carefully. After a while, he said, “Light, loose, crisp, and smooth. All four are good.” There was a hint of a smile on his lips, and even his hoarse voice was filled with joy. “Great!”
This time, it just so happened that it was drizzling on the last day. It was a blessing from the heavens. Originally, the quality of the zither was good, but with this trace of moisture, this could be more compatible with the little girl than the famous zither. Thinking of this, he thought of the little girl’s zither, and its rare sound. When he finished this zither, the rare sound would also become inferior.
Chang An also heaved a sigh of relief. “Young Master, the materials are ready. You have to rest well.”
Zhou Linghuai stroked the zither, his deep eyes filled with rare joy.
There was charcoal in the kitchen, and it was warm inside. However, he felt that his legs were cold and painful. Previously, he was worried that something would go wrong with the wood that was about to be finished, so he kept staring at it, not feeling anything.
However, at this moment, he felt an unbearable pain in his leg.
His leg hurt badly, and he wanted to do something to clear his mind. Zhou Linghuai lowered his head and looked at the top-grade zither in his arms.
His voice was hoarse. “Go get my carving knife.”
Chang An disagreed a little. Caught off guard, he took a step forward and took the tung wood from his young master’s hand. He placed it far away. “Young Master, it won’t be done in a short time. You can’t continue to endure it. Your body won’t be able to take it.”
Zhou Linghuai frowned and suddenly gripped the armrest tightly, panting in pain.
Only then did Chang An notice his young master’s abnormality and was shocked. In the past, his young master’s leg had never been in such unbearable pain. “Young Master, I’ll get Uncle Sun to take a look.”
At this moment, an anxious voice came from the door. “Cousin, what’s wrong?”
Zhou Linghuai held his breath and looked up.
The little girl was wearing a green dress. On the pleated dress, there were small yellow-green parasol flowers embroidered. The trumpet-shaped flowers were dense and beautiful. They were scattered, but they were bright and beautiful.
Yu Youyao rushed into the house and immediately saw that her cousin’s face was pale and his forehead was covered in a layer of sweat. She immediately panicked. “Cousin, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? I’ll get someone to get a doctor immediately.”
As she spoke, she was about to run out in a panic.
Zhou Linghuai suddenly held her hand and said hoarsely, “Don’t be worried. It’s just a leg problem.”
His leg had started hurting a few days ago. He didn’t want the young lady to worry, so he didn’t let her know.
“Leg disease? What kind of illness is this? Why haven’t I heard Cousin mention it before? Is it very serious? Cousin, you look so pale and you’re sweating a lot. Is it very painful?” Yu Youyao panicked even more when she heard this. Her voice was quick and anxious, and she was choking up. She was about to cry. She took a handkerchief and wiped her cousin’s sweat. “Where’s Uncle Sun? His medical skills are brilliant. Why didn’t he treat Cousin? He just let him suffer like this…”
Zhou Linghuai, who was in unbearable pain, suddenly smiled. “It’s just a lingering illness from when my leg was injured. It only hurts because the weather is a little wet and cold. It’s not a serious illness. It’ll pass in two days. I’m used to it.”
It would have been better if he hadn’t said anything. As soon as he did, the tears in Yu Youyao’s eyes fell.
Zhou Linghuai was stunned. Tears fell on the back of his hand, but it hurt and splashed into his heart, making his heart tremble uncontrollably. “I’m fine, you…”
“It’s already March, but Cousin is still wearing a thick jacket and a deer fur coat. It’s so painful that he’s even gasping for breath when he speaks. You still say that you’re fine. Cousin, you’re awful. You only know how to coax me. You didn’t even tell me about your leg disease. If I had known earlier, I could have thought of a way. How could I have let Cousin suffer like this…”
Yu Youyao sobbed, blaming herself for being too careless and not paying attention to her cousin’s health. She held her cousin’s hand, which was as cold as ice, and rubbed it repeatedly, even blowing hot air on it from time to time.
The little girl’s actions were so silly that Zhou Linghuai was stunned again.
At this moment, Uncle Sun arrived late.
Yu Youyao seemed to have found her backbone and quickly said, “Uncle Sun, Uncle Sun, Cousin’s leg hurts badly. Hurry up and treat him…”
Uncle Sun glanced at her. “If it can be treated, do I need you to tell me about it?”
With that, he ignored her and turned to take Zhou Linghuai’s pulse.
Yu Youyao panicked. She opened her mouth to ask why it couldn’t be treated, but seeing that Uncle Sun was taking her cousin’s pulse, she could only swallow her words.
About ten seconds later, Uncle Sun finished taking his pulse and stroked his long beard. “Young Master, is your leg hurting more than before?”
Zhou Linghuai nodded. “The pain is unbearable.”
Uncle Sun pondered for a moment. “Young Master’s foundation has improved, and the feeling in his legs has also recovered a little. It can be seen that the medicinal cuisine that Eldest Miss sends every day has some effect. This is also a good thing. However, Young Master will have to suffer more in the future.”
Yu Youyao was stunned for a moment before she understood.
The medicinal cuisine that Uncle Sun had mentioned was the spiritual dew that she had secretly put into supplements every day. She did not expect that the spiritual dew would have a recovery effect on her cousin’s leg. Should she add more in the future?
However, her cousin’s body was a little weak, so she wondered if he could take it.
Moreover, his cousin was so smart. As soon as the effect was obvious, he would definitely sense it.
It wasn’t that she had to hide the matter of the spiritual dew, but this matter was too strange, and she didn’t know if she should tell her cousin.
After thinking about it, Yu Youyao decided to put in more in the future. She didn’t want to think about anything else. She only wanted her cousin to be well and didn’t want him to suffer.
After thinking this through, Yu Youyao couldn’t help but ask, “Uncle Sun, is there really no way to treat Cousin’s leg? Is there a way to relieve the pain?”
Uncle Sun shook his head and took out a set of silver needles from the medicine box. “What do you know? This is bone pain. There’s no way to treat it, but it can be relieved a little with acupuncture. It can reduce the pain for two to four hours after being pricked once. However, this needle can’t be used to prick him too much. It can’t be done more than twice a day.”
