Chapter 567: Chapter 567, Fraternal Respect (1 more update)
Sun Yian wanted to say something.
But looking at Xie Zhinuan’s indifferent expression,
in the end, he said nothing and left the shop.
“…”
Xie Zhinuan pursed her lips.
Thinking about something, Chunyu and Lichun stood to one side, glanced at her but said nothing.
“Next!” Xie Zhinuan called out softly.
She did not take Sun Yian’s illness to heart. After all, those who needed help were not her, but the arrogant and cruel dandies of Gaocheng County.
Perhaps not just these people, but many more.
Among them, there were innocent people as well as those who got what they deserved. There was no rush; one day, all this filth would be exposed, letting the world know.
When someone came in, they couldn’t help but ask, “Miss Xie, will you stop taking pulses from tomorrow?”
“Yes, I won’t be taking pulses anymore. I have many things to do!”
She needed to visit several manors as spring had arrived, and it was time to plant the crops.
As the head of the family, it was proper to make a visit, letting the farmers see what their new boss looked like to avoid any future mistakes.
Furthermore, cabbage and radishes were soon to be out of season. She had to get ready for the last batch, as well as bamboo shoots, various wild vegetables, wild fruits, and also to start preparing fruit jams.
“Will Miss Xie take pulses again in the future?”
“We’ll see, perhaps I will!” Xie Zhinuan said with a light smile.
Perhaps because it was the last day, by the time she finished taking all the pulses, it was already late.
A servant from the Chu Family was already waiting at the door. Xie Zhinuan, though tired, did not decline and followed him to take Chu Yunping’s pulse.
“Today, according to Miss Xie’s instructions, he took the medicine twice, but the last time, there was hardly any bleeding!” Chu Yun’an spoke softly.
Xie Zhinuan withdrew her hand and washed it in the basin, then asked, “Has the patient woken up?”
“He did wake up. According to Miss Xie’s instructions, we fed him a bowl of rice soup and dared not give him anything else!”
“Hmm!” Xie Zhinuan nodded in approval.
After pondering for a moment, she began writing a prescription.
“Prepare the medicine as written here; I will come back to check on him early tomorrow morning.”
With that, she got up and walked towards the exit.
Chu Yun’an quickly followed and saw Xie Zhinuan out, “Thank you for your trouble, Miss!”
They exchanged a few words before reaching the main entrance.
“No need to see me out any further!” she said casually and boarded the carriage.
The guard immediately drove the carriage away.
Chu Yun’an stood at the door for a moment before turning to go home.
He had someone prepare and brew the medicine,
and went to stay with his elder brother.
When Chu Yunping awoke, he felt as if he had experienced a nightmare, tasting joy, anger, sorrow, and pain all within his dream.
Upon opening his eyes, he saw his brother by his side. His vision, originally blurry, seemed a lot clearer.
“Second brother!” he called out weakly.
His throat felt terribly sore, but unlike before, his head was no longer muddled.
Now, the soreness was real, but his body felt somewhat warm.
There was also an indescribable sense of comfort.
“Big brother!” Chu Yun’an called out joyfully, “Do you feel a bit better?” he asked in a quieter voice, his eyes filled with concern.
“Yes!” Chu Yunping replied.
Not wanting to worry his brother, he quickly added, “Much better!”
Compared to his previous constant coughing and gasping for breath, at this moment, he felt immensely comfortable throughout his body.
“That’s good, that’s good. Miss Xie said you can have some light porridge. I’ve already had the kitchen start it; it’ll be ready soon!”
Chu Yun’an reached out to tuck the blanket around his elder brother, “Big brother, you will get better!”
These words comforted Chu Yunping and also soothed himself.
