After the Cousin Married She Was Forcefully Taken by the Mad Power Minister

The eldest young master of the Xie family, Xie Xianyu, was like a spring breeze and a graceful orchid—refined, elegant, and, rarest of all, blessed with a compassionate heart.

Chapter 67: Is She Still Afraid? (2/2)

The woman cried, "We want to, too. We don't have much money at home, so we'll put off treatment for minor illnesses as much as possible. I thought it was just a fever, and I thought I'd be fine if I covered myself with a blanket. A doctor's visit would cost us half our money."

The man asked awkwardly, "Doctor, how much did the pill cost?"

"Ten cents."

"Ah?" The man was stunned. Such an effective medicine only costs ten cents?

Wanruo gave him another dose of fever-reducing medicine, wrapped it up, and gave it to them: "Fifteen cents in total. Your child isn't in good health. If you have a problem like this again, don't delay. Remember to come to me."

"Thank you, doctor! Thank you, doctor!" The couple hurriedly expressed their gratitude.

Wan Ruo curved her lips and smiled: "No, take the child back quickly."

The couple left with many thanks, and Su Yue then fetched a basin of water for Wanruo to wash her hands.

Qing'an was stunned again. "This pill looks much more effective than the pearl cream, why is it only ten coins? I thought it would cost twenty taels of silver."

Xie Xianyu looked at the busy figures in the shop, pursed his thin lips, and his eyes deepened.

Wanruo washed her hands and said, "Close the shop and deliver these tonics and medicinal foods to several households. I'll go to Luojia Lane."

"Okay." Su Yue nodded in agreement.

Wanruo took off her apron and went out with a basket.

Xie Xianyu lowered the car window curtains and waited until Wanruo walked out of the alley before saying coldly, "Follow her."

"yes."

Qing'an drove the carriage and caught up with Wanruo from a distance.

Wanruo crossed the street and entered an alley. This alley was much wider and not too deep, but right at the entrance.

She knocked on the door, and when it opened, she greeted with a smile, "Auntie, I'm here to see you."

She was obedient and acted like a good daughter-in-law.

Xie Xianyu's eyes turned cold: "Who is this?"

Qing An glanced at his face awkwardly and replied in a low voice: "Lin Han's mother."

Xie Xianyu had a blank expression on her face, and her knuckles were already numb from the hands that were pulling the curtain. She really cared about Lin Han!

The old woman opened the door and said with a smile: "Xiao Wei is here, come in quickly, you too, come to accompany me every day."

Wanruo walked into the courtyard and closed the door, but the voices in the courtyard could still be heard clearly.

"Lin Han is busy with official duties all day and has no time to take care of you, so I came naturally. Did your eyes hurt yesterday?"

"It doesn't hurt. I've been applying the medicine you gave me to my eyes these past few days, and it feels very comfortable."

"That's good. I also made some medicinal food. It's delicious. I know you like chicken soup, so I made it with chicken soup. How about you try it?"

"Okay, okay. Han'er is so lucky to marry a girl like you who is so clever and skillful." Mrs. Wu felt very relieved.

Outside the courtyard, Qing'an didn't dare turn around to look at his master's expression, as he was already feeling uneasy because of the increasingly cold aura.

Xie Xianyu stared at the courtyard with a gloomy face, unable to suppress the hostility in his body. When had she ever cared so much about him?

Apart from deception and perfunctory treatment, is Lin Han really worthy of her concern?

Wanruo stayed in the courtyard for half an hour before she came out and returned home dragging her somewhat tired body.

It was already dark, and she went home with a lantern in her hand, her steps brisk. She had been tired all day, but she didn't seem to feel tired at all.

When she was at Xie's house, she would complain about sore hands and feet when she was asked to grind ink or play the piano, and she wished she could just lie in bed and not move.

Xie Xianyu watched her return to her home. Xu Shujin opened the door for her and called her to eat. The lights in the courtyard were on, but Xie Xianyu felt more lonely than ever before.

Wanruo had finished dinner and was planning to take a shower to relax, but suddenly she heard urgent knocks on the door outside.
