Chapter 197 Almost Lost His Voice

"So what if it's only 100 taels for the consultation fee?" Mu Yan was still very angry. "Do you really think anyone would care about this 100 taels? With Yu girl's medical skills, it's not easy for her to earn 100 taels for the consultation fee!"

"Second Master is right." Madam Mu pulled him to sit down, poured him a cup of tea, and said softly, "Second Brother's wife is right. I know you care about Miss Yu and her sister, but this is an accident. Madam Yang certainly didn't expect it, otherwise she wouldn't have given Miss Yu and her sister the bracelets."

Madam Mu San sighed, "It's my fault, actually. I was the one who brought the two girls there. I should have kept an eye on them all the time and not let them leave my side."

"Third brother's wife, please stop saying that. You can't be blamed for this kind of thing." Madam Mu said soothingly.

Mu Yan's face looked a little better. He stood up and said to Madam Mu Er, "I'll go see Yu girl. You ask someone to go to the storehouse to get some supplements for the sisters."

Madam Mu nodded and said, "I will go to the storehouse to pick out some supplements." She then said to Madam Mu, "Don't think too much, Third Brother's wife. Go back to your room and have lunch."

Madam Mu San stood up and said, "I remember that Master San has some excellent medicine for wounds. I'll ask the maid to deliver it to Miss Yu and her sister later."

Mu Yan went to Luofuyuan, only to see that the door of the side room was closed, with two maids guarding outside.

Seeing him coming, the two maids knelt and saluted, "Second Master, Second Miss Yu is treating the injury of First Miss Yu, so it is inconvenient for her to come in."

Mu Yan nodded and stood in the yard waiting.

Yu Fuling's screams of pain were heard from the room. Mu Yan frowned and felt more and more guilty. He brought her to Qingzhou, but she suffered such a crime.

Inside the room, Yu Jiao poured some more medicinal wine into her palm and said to Yu Fuling, who was crying in pain, "Good sister, bear with it for a while. If the blood clots don't dissolve, you will suffer more in the future."

Yu Fuling gritted her teeth and nodded with tears in her eyes.

After rubbing her palms together to warm them up, Yu Jiao slowly placed them on Yu Fuling's purple belly, carefully controlling the strength of her palms and pushing them evenly.

Yu Fuling was shaking with pain and twisted her body to try to avoid it. Yu Jiao knelt on the bed, pressed her legs with her knees, and rubbed the bruises carefully with medicated wine.

After all the trouble, Yu Fuling's clothes were soaked. Her abdomen was indeed not as painful as before. She changed her clothes behind the screen and simply tidied her messy hair.

Yu Jiao opened the door only after she saw that she had finished packing.

Mu Yan heard the noise, walked forward, looked at Yu Jiao's delicate neck, and said with concern, "I heard from the Third Madam that you were injured in the Yang Mansion. Is it serious? You should call a doctor..." At this point, he remembered that Yu Jiao was the doctor, so he stopped talking.

"It's nothing serious. I'm sorry to have worried you." Yu Jiao's voice was a little hoarse. She stepped aside and invited Mu Yan to come in and sit down.

Seeing the obvious purple pinch marks on her delicate white neck, Mu Yan said angrily, "You still say it's not a big deal? Yu girl, I brought you to Qingzhou. At my age, I can be considered half your elder. If you've been wronged, don't be afraid, just tell me!"

Yu Jiao raised her hand to lift her clothes to cover the marks on her neck, and said with a smile, "It just looks a little scary, thank you."

"Are you really okay?" Mu Yan looked at Yu Fuling again, "Is your sister seriously injured?"

Yu Fuling bowed and said, "It's not serious, Master Mu, don't worry."

Although Mu Yan was old enough to be the father of Yu Jiao and the others, there was still a difference between men and women. Mu Yan did not dare to sit for too long. Before leaving, he said, "You guys take a good rest. If you need any medicine, just tell the maids and ask them to go out of the house to buy it."

Yu Jiao escorted Mu Yan out of the house.

After Mu Yan left, he immediately found someone and arranged for them to find out what kind of guests the Yang Mansion had received in the past two days.

Yang Yuanchen's official position has not been promoted yet. In terms of power, his Mu family is not much worse than the Yang family. He wants to see who is showing off his power in the Yang Mansion and actually attacking the two little girls.

Looking at the entire Qingzhou Prefecture, there is no one worthy of the Mu family's fear. If he were to find out who had done such a cruel thing to the Yu Jiao sisters, he would definitely help them vent their anger.

After Mu Yan left, the maid entered the room and asked softly, "Girls, do you want to set up the dinner?"

Yu Jiao nodded.

One of the maids went to the small kitchen to get food. Another maid saw the strong smell of medicinal wine in the room and asked politely, "Miss Yu, can I open the lattice fan to ventilate the room?"

Yu Jiao responded, and Yu Fuling walked up to her, opened her clothes and took a look, "How do you treat the wound on your neck? Can I apply some medicinal wine on it for you?"

"After dinner, I can do it myself." Yu Jiao felt a little sore in her throat. She coughed lightly and didn't want to say anything more.

The maid brought in the food. Yu Jiao didn't have much appetite, so she only ate a little of the light food. She handed the bought medicine to the maid and asked her to take it to the small kitchen to make two sets of decoctions.

"I'm a little tired. I'll lie down on the bed and take a nap. When the medicine is ready, Sister Fuling, please call me." Yu Jiao felt a little groggy. She put down her chopsticks, wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, and said to Yu Fuling.

Yu Fuling said softly, "Go lie down quickly."

Yu Jiao went inside to rest. Yu Fuling was frightened and her abdomen was aching. She drank a bowl of soup and then quietly called the maid to take the dishes away.

For fear of disturbing Yu Jiao, she tiptoed to sit down on the soft couch by the window. She wanted to tell Yu Qizhe about what happened in Yang's house today, but she was afraid of disturbing his studies. He would have to enter the examination hall in two days, so she could only keep this matter to herself.

After sitting on the couch for a while, the maid brought in the medicine. Yu Fuling stood up and called Yu Jiao, who was already asleep on the bed, "The maid has brought the medicine. Take it and then go back to sleep."

Yu Jiao picked up the medicine bowl and sniffed it, identifying the herbs. She handed one bowl to Yu Fuling and said, "This is yours."

Yu Fuling took it and heard her voice was getting hoarse, so she couldn't help but feel worried, "Your voice?"

"Nothing, it will be fine in a few days." Yu Jiao picked up the other bowl, tilted her head back and drank it, then put the empty medicine bowl on the table and lay back on the bed. She turned over to make room for Yu Fuling, closed her eyes and said softly, "Sister Fuling, if you are tired, lie down on the bed and take a nap."

Yu Fuling drank the medicine, asked the maid to take away the medicine bowl, and lay down next to Yu Jiao. She was very confused and felt uncomfortable. She thought she would not be able to sleep, but she fell into a deep sleep not long after.

When Yu Jiao woke up, she opened her eyes and saw darkness all around her. There was a faint light outside the window, and it was already night.

When she got out of bed, she accidentally bumped into Yu Fuling and woke her up.

The maid asked softly outside the door, "Is Miss Yu awake? Do you want me to go in and light the lamp?"

"Come in..." Yu Jiao opened her mouth, her throat was sore and her voice was so hoarse that it was almost inaudible, she was almost voiceless.
