Chapter 39 Hurry up and send the medicine to Father

  The doctor was indeed serious and responsible, carefully asking Sun Niangniang about the situation of Zi Rui's illness last night, and then diagnosing Zi Rui again by feeling his pulse and flipping up his eyelids. Finally, he came to a conclusion: "Young Master has gastrointestinal discomfort, I'll prescribe some medicine for him, and after taking it for a few days, he will be fine."

  Yao saw that this doctor said the same thing as Feng Yuexiang, and couldn't help but trust Feng Yuexiang's medical skills a bit more.

  Wangchuan and Fengyu exchanged a glance, but didn't say anything. She remembered that after Miss gave him medicine yesterday, Young Master had already recovered, even if he still needed to rest for a few days, it shouldn't be necessary to drink bitter medicinal soup again, right? Clearly, Miss has better medicine.

  But after receiving a slightly calm and gentle gaze from Feng Yuexian, Wangchuan understood in his heart and didn't say much.

  It was said that it was gastrointestinal discomfort. Shen Shi, who was waiting outside, sneered and said, "I thought it was some serious illness, but it turned out to be just eating too much."

  Han's smile was originally hidden behind her hand, but when she saw Feng Yuexia walking towards her with a stride, the smile was instantly wiped off her face.

  "Mother is right, Zi Rui certainly doesn't have a serious illness, the young master of Feng Fu is healthy."

  She reminded Shen Shi that Zi Rui was also a young master of the Feng family, and shouldn't be too proud.

  Shen's family hummed again, stood up and said: "Since nothing is wrong, I will leave first." When turning around, he saw the boxes in the yard again, and his anger rose: "Got things without saying hello to elders, don't know who taught this rule!"

  Feng Yu Huan smiled lightly against her background and said: "Thanks for reminding me, Mother. Later, Ah Huan will choose a good thing to go and pay respects to Grandmother."

  Shen's family almost fell over, wanting to turn around and say that he was also a senior, but he firmly believed that no matter what he said, he would only get a sentence of ridicule. He simply vented his anger on Li and several others: "You three! It was a waste of effort to send you here! You actually served the second young master like this, and now get out of here and go back to the Golden Jade Courtyard!"

  The three of them knew Shen's temper too well and didn't say much more, bowing their heads to follow him.

  Who would have thought that Shen's family walked to the Moon Gate and another demon appeared, directing Jin Zhen who followed her: "You go with the doctor to see the prescription, remember to use good medicine, the second young master of the Feng family cannot be delayed!"

  Jin Zhen bowed his head and stayed behind.

  Feng Yu glanced at Jin Zhen, and for some reason, she felt that this young girl who had experienced many things seemed more mature than the others around her, whether it was her eyebrows, eyes or body. Her thoughts also seemed more calm and steady. However, Jin Zhen's hands shrinking into her long sleeves did not escape Feng Yu's notice, and she faintly saw the bruises on her wrist, knowing that yesterday's events must have led to Shen Shi's scolding.

  Jin Zhen saw Feng Yu's gaze on her, feeling a bit uneasy, and hastily bowed to her, saying: "I'll go ask the doctor about the prescription." Then she quickly went into the house.

  The doctor's prescription was fine, Feng Yu Heng took a look and handed it to Jin Zhen: "Since mother asked you to take care of the prescription, then trouble Miss Jin Zhen to go get the medicine herself."

  Jin Zhen took a step back, not accepting the task, and said: "The mistress has spoken, in the case of Liu Yuan, it's up to Second Miss to decide. I'm just taking a look at Fangzi and going back to let the masters feel at ease. As for other things, it's still up to Second Miss herself."

  Feng Yu didn't insist anymore and threw Fang Zi into the yellow spring, "Go catch the medicine."

  Huang Quan took orders and left, Jin Zhen bid farewell to Feng Yu Huan and also left Liu Yuan.

  The doctor was the last to come out, and he shook hands with Feng Yuexiang, saying: "My surname is Xu, I am a guest doctor in Fengli, Second Miss has asked someone to fetch the medicine and send it to the guest house, I will personally decoct it for Second Young Master."

  Feng Yu's eyes flickered slightly as he embedded his lips, thinking to himself if he was waiting here. However, his face did not show any special reaction, and he only nodded: "In that case, thank you, Doctor."

  "The second young lady is being polite, I'll take my leave."

  The doctor left, and Wang Chuan asked Feng Yu softly: "Is there something wrong with the doctor?"

  She shook her head: "Don't know yet, let's wait and see, he'll finish brewing the medicine first."

  Two hours later, a servant brought the medicine that had been simmered to perfection to the willow garden. Seeing Feng Yu Heng, he proactively said: "I am serving at the side of Doctor Xie, this is the medicine that Doctor Xie personally brewed for Second Young Master, and ordered me to bring it over. Doctor Xie said that from the guest house to here, the temperature would be just right, not too hot, please have Second Young Master take it immediately for the best effect."

  Feng Yu nodded slightly, indicating that Wang Chuan should take the medicine over, and then said to the little girl, "Go back and tell Doctor Xu that Second Young Master will drink this medicine right away."

  The little girl bowed and left in a hurry.

  Wangchuan stood still in the courtyard, while Feng Yu Heng walked to the tray and opened the lid of the medicine jar. She leaned forward to take a sniff, and her eyebrows immediately furrowed.

  "Miss, is there something wrong?"

  She sneered, "The trouble is big."

  Feng Yu Huan had expected that the Shen family would try every means to deal with the people on Liu Yuan's side, and she had also thought that they might take advantage of Zi Rui's illness to do something. But she never thought that the woman would be so vicious.

  She thought that in her previous life, she had practiced medicine for half of her life, and was a master of both Chinese and Western medicine. With the inheritance from her ancestors, she had developed the ability to identify medicines by smell at the age of eight. When a bowl of medicinal soup was passed over five steps away, she could smell out several flavors of herbs and their names. How could she possibly make a mistake when she had carefully identified the medicine in this bowl?

  This is a bowl of invigorating medicine!

  Giving a six-year-old child a bowl of strong tonic medicine!

  Alas, Shen family! Feng Yu-Heng lamented in her heart: Heaven's fault can be forgiven; one's own fault cannot be survived.

  "Medicine is going in from the other end." She instructed Wàng Chuān, and then beckoned to Qīng Líng who was busy in the courtyard: "Come."

  The little girl rushed forward quickly.

  Ever since Qingling entered the Liu Garden and was given a new name, she followed Huang Quan to take care of Feng Zirui. Now that Feng Zirui has fallen ill, little maid is filled with remorse.

  "Feng Yu ordered, 'Go get an empty bowl, pour in some warm water, and bring a spoon.' Qing Ling ran to do as she was told."

  When he came back, Feng Yu Heng had already taken out a small paper package from her sleeve, poured the medicinal powder in the package into a bowl of water and stirred it with a spoon: "Take it to Young Master for him to drink."

  After Zi Rui fell asleep last night, Feng Yu Heng slipped into the pharmacy, took out all the packets of medicine that Zi Rui was supposed to take, re-packaged them in paper bags, and divided them into three small packages which she hid in her sleeves.

  Wangchuan could smell that this was the same as the bowl of medicine with a sweet taste from last night, and couldn't help but ask: "Since Miss has her own medicine, why did she still let the imperial physician prescribe another formula?" She looked at the thing in her hand again, "Is there poison in the medicine?" When she asked this question, a hint of sharpness flashed through her eyes as usual.

  Feng Yu sneered, "Poison? Poison can still be cured, but this is far more sinister than poison."

  Just as they were talking, a strange little girl appeared at the gate, timidly looking into the willow garden. Wang Chuan was the first to see her and whispered to Feng Yuexiang: "Miss, there's someone at the door."

  She also looked at the little girl, only to see a look of anxiety on her face, with some fear, but not like a thief. She took a few steps forward and beckoned to the little girl: "Come here."

  The little girl cautiously came forward, still carefully looking back, afraid that someone was following her.

  Feng Yu saw that she was holding a bowl of clear noodle soup in her hand, with two pieces of green vegetable leaves on top, emitting a fragrant steam, obviously just out of the pot.

  "Which courtyard are you from?" She deliberately slowed down her tone, and even the anger that had appeared due to that bowl of tonic medicine was repressed.

  The little girl finally let out a slight sigh of relief, lowered her head and replied: "I am a person from Madame Han's courtyard. Madame Han said that the second young master is ill, his stomach is not comfortable, he should eat some non-greasy noodles, so she asked the small kitchen to cook a bowl of noodles and had me deliver it."

  The little girl said as she pushed the tray with noodles towards Feng Yu Heng, even though Qing Yu had already come over to serve her, she still insisted that Feng Yu Heng personally take the tray.

  Feng Yu Huan didn't refuse, stretched out her hand and intentionally brushed against Xiao Yao's hand to take the tray. As expected, just as their fingers touched, a small piece of paper was slipped into her palm.

  "The servant girl bid farewell." The task was completed, and the little maid hurriedly ran off.

  Qing Yu was still puzzled: "How can the maids in this mansion be so ignorant of etiquette? Who allows the master to receive things?" Then she quickly took the tray from Feng Yuexiang's hand, thought for a moment, and carefully asked: "Miss, can you eat this bowl of noodles?"

  Although it was only yesterday that they entered the mansion, Sun and Huang had already infiltrated the affairs of the three close attendants in Feng Mansion. The three clear character generation attendants were already very able to distinguish who were their own people and who were the opposing parties.

  Feng Yu Huan had already smelled it out when the bowl of noodles was brought over, and seeing Qing Yu ask, she nodded: "It's edible, noodles are easy to digest, feed more to the young master."

  "Yes, I'll go now." Qing Yu bowed and backed away.

  The doctor is a distant relative of Jin Zhen, the medicine must be problematic, don't drink it.

  Phoenix Feather blinked her eyes, what's good? Very well.

  She just didn't understand why Han wanted to pass her a note, when she and Shen had been standing together in the willow garden earlier.

  "Sun Auntie." She called out loudly to Sun Auntie, who had just come out of Zi Rui's room, "Go to Jin Yu Yard and find Jin Zhen. Tell her that Zi Rui's medicine has arrived. Since the mistress is so concerned, it would be better for Jin Zhen to supervise her drinking it."

  The old lady nodded and took another look at the medicine bowl held by Wang Chuan, but didn't say anything and walked straight out of the yard.

  Feng Yu Huan called out to Wang Chuan to return with her to the house, the two of them whispered to each other for a bit, then saw Feng Yu Huan stuff something into Wang Chuan's hand.

  Madam Sun went to invite Jin Zhen, which was very smooth. Originally, Shen Shi had something to say about Jin Zhen's careful use of medicine on the Liu Yuan side. Now seeing Madam Sun come to call, she felt that the people of Liu Yuan were still quite understanding of the rules and took the orders of the madam seriously.

  Jin Zhen walked with her head held high, following Sun Shangshu to the entrance of the Jin Yu courtyard. As they walked, she said: "The mistress is worried about Second Young Master, I heard that Second Young Master is ill, and didn't even finish breakfast before rushing over to see him. Now that you've called me, when we return, I can also report back to the mistress, so she can have a peaceful lunch."

  Madam Sun smiled and accompanied her with a smile, but did not refute. As for the people in the Shen family's courtyard, Madam Sun had never had a good impression of them.

  "Is the medicine brewed according to the doctor's prescription?" Jin Zhen asked as she walked, her steps light and nimble, her waist twisting back and forth, looking really good.

  "More than that, the medicine was even personally decocted by Dr. Xu! The little maid from the guest house just delivered it, and Second Miss sent me to fetch you to go over together and take a look, so as to put Madam's mind at ease."

  "That's natural, let's hurry up and go, lest the medicine gets cold." Jin Zhen quickened her pace, which made Sun Dajie purse her lips. According to the route through Liu Garden, it would be too late by the time they got there anyway.
