When Nanny Wei saw that the servants wanted to pass on a message, she quickly gestured, signaling them not to speak.

Madam Liu stood at the door and heard Tao Ge'er's innocent voice coming from inside the room again, "Then when I get better, big brother, can you take me out of the house to play? And bring my third sister with you too!"

When Mrs. Liu heard Tao Ge'er talking about going to Chang'an Street to light lanterns during the Lantern Festival, she asked Liu Ziqi to bring enough silver so that he could buy lots of delicious and fun things. Liu Ziqi agreed to all of her requests.

I don’t know what funny thing they talked about, but the three people in the room started laughing. It was very harmonious, just like three real siblings telling a joke.

Tao Ge'er called them "big brother" and "third sister" all the time, and was very affectionate.

Tao Ge'er is not demented, he is just a little dumber than ordinary people. He has a simple and innocent mind, and is very sensitive to people's kindness and malice towards him. Take the girl Yaoyu for example, Tao Ge'er never calls her second sister, but only second young lady.

Madam Liu once asked Tao Ge'er why he didn't get close to Yao Yu. Tao Ge'er told her with a clear look in his eyes that the Second Miss didn't like him and he didn't want to like the Second Miss either.

He kept calling her "third sister" all the time, which showed that he got along very well with the third girl, which was not what Cuizhu said at all.

Inside the house, Yu Jiao wiped her hands with a handkerchief and said to Liu Ziqi, "The silver needles have to be inserted for 25 minutes before they can be removed."

Liu Ziqi took over Yu Jiao's position, staring at Tao Ge'er to prevent him from moving around, and said to Yu Jiao in a gentle voice, "Tao Ge'er is very active, I'll watch over him, you sit on the soft couch and rest for a while."

The lunch tasted strong, and Yu Jiao was a little thirsty. She picked up the teacup and drank a cup of tea, saying, "Big brother, I'll go to my grandmother's yard to get some moxa sticks. I'll teach you how to identify some acupuncture points later, and you can help Tao Ge'er do the moxibustion."

"Third sister, you have to go and come back quickly. You can't let the needle keep pricking me, or I'll turn into a hedgehog." Tao Ge'er shouted reluctantly on the bed.

Yu Jiao couldn't help but smile, said okay, and walked outside.

When Mrs. Liu heard the sound and wanted to dodge, it was too late, and she could only stand stiffly outside the door.

Yu Jiao opened the door and saw Madam Liu outside. The smile on her face faded and she called out, "Madam."

Mrs. Liu saw that although she treated her politely, she was extremely distant, and was not as comfortable and relaxed as when she was with Ziqi and Taoge'er. She couldn't help feeling a little melancholy. She didn't treat the third girl with much sincerity, so how could she expect her to be close to her?

Madam Liu tried to put on a kind smile, "Are you treating Tao'er?" Madam Liu had also heard about Yu Jiao's treatment of the old lady and knew that she had been a female doctor before she returned home.

Yu Jiao nodded, "Madam, do you want to come in? Brother Tao has needles stuck in his body and cannot be exposed to the wind."

Liu Ziqi was looking after Tao Ge'er who was lying in bed and did not get up.

Madam Liu glanced into the room and quickly stepped back, "No... No, I'm just taking a look... It's okay, you guys continue to treat Brother Tao."

She couldn't help but ask again, "Can Tao'er's illness be cured?"

Yu Jiao walked out of the house and closed the door. "My elder brother and father told me about Tao'er's symptoms. I prescribed a prescription for him. The high fever burns the nerve center and affects intelligence. There is no cure. Epilepsy can be reduced in frequency through medication and acupuncture."

Mrs. Liu sighed softly. Many doctors have said that Tao'er's dementia is incurable. She has heard this so many times that she has gradually become numb. However, she still feels disappointed in her heart. However, it is good that the epilepsy can be alleviated.

Every time Tao Ge'er had an epileptic seizure, it was very terrifying. He would suddenly have convulsions in his limbs and foam at the mouth. A doctor said that if this continued, if no one was paying attention to Tao Ge'er during an attack, he would most likely be choked to death by the foam in his mouth if he was not careful.

She gave strict orders to the maidservants who served Tao Ge'er, telling them not to leave Tao Ge'er's side even for a moment on normal days.

But it is inevitable that there will be negligence. Last time, several maids were playing hide-and-seek with Tao Ge'er in the back garden, and later they couldn't find Tao Ge'er. She was worried to death, fearing that Tao Ge'er might have fallen ill in some deserted corner.

Mrs. Liu no longer hopes that Tao'er's IQ can be the same as that of ordinary people. If his epilepsy is cured, he will suffer less.

She looked at Yu Jiao. This was the first time she had looked at her carefully since the little girl returned home. Perhaps because of her medical practice, her temperament was gentle and indifferent, her round almond eyes were watery and clear, and her little face was pretty and delicate. Mrs. Liu then discovered that the little girl was also very beautiful, but she did not bear any resemblance to Liu Yu. She wondered if she looked more like her biological mother.

Inexplicably, Madam Liu felt that she had a kind of tenacity. Unlike Yaoyu and the other noble ladies in the capital, who looked glamorous, arrogant and noble, but once their families fell into trouble, they would be like helpless dodders, scattered on the ground, at the mercy of others.

But this little girl was different. Even if she didn't return to the Liu family and had no one to rely on, Mrs. Liu felt that she could live a good life.

"If you need any medicine, just tell Madam Wei in my room and ask her to ask the servants to get it for you." Mrs. Liu took a long time to come back to her senses.
