Yun Xi was displaced in the countryside for seventeen years. One day, she was found, only to tragically die on a rainy night.
She was forced to be a surrogate for her legitimate elder sister,...
Chapter 496
From that day on, Yunxi began going to Yuelai Inn every few days.
Sometimes she would deliver medicinal meals to Xiao Chengping, and sometimes she would deliver beverages to him. Doctor Feng would write the prescriptions the night before, and the cook would prepare them the next day, which Yunxi would then deliver to Xiao Chengping.
After a while, the two became acquainted.
Yunxi knew that Xiao Chengping lived in Suzhou and his family was a wealthy merchant. Currently, his uncle was in charge of the household. However, he was the only male in his generation. Even though he was physically weak, the heavy responsibility of the family would eventually fall on his shoulders.
Fortunately, they have now found Doctor Feng, which has saved Xiao Chengping a lot of future burdens.
However, Xiao Chengping didn't know much about Yunxi, only that she grew up in the countryside.
That day, Yunxi came to deliver drinks to Xiao Chengping again.
Perilla leaves are considered the most yang of yang, dispelling cold and dampness. When made into a drink, they have a sweet and sour taste that is very popular.
She entered the guest room, sat down by the window as usual, chatted with Xiao Chengping for a while, and suddenly noticed something: "Young Master Xiao's cough seems to be less frequent?"
At first, Xiao Chengping couldn't even finish a single sentence, but in recent days, Yunxi has rarely heard him cough.
Xiao Chengping smiled and nodded: "Yes, Doctor Feng's medical skills are superb. Now I can sleep soundly at night."
His complexion had improved a lot; his face, which had been as pale as paper, finally showed some color, and he looked like a living person.
Yunxi was genuinely happy for him.
After a while, a noise came from the doorway, and everyone in the room turned around to see Doctor Feng arrive.
When Doctor Feng entered the room, he saw that Yunxi and Xiao Chengping were separated by a table, their distance between them awkward. Meanwhile, the four servants had already gathered around a table and were playing a card game!
And it looks like they've been fighting for quite a while now, with one of the followers' faces covered in ink smears.
Doctor Feng's face twitched violently.
The four men chuckled as they looked at him: "Dr. Feng, you've arrived!"
Doctor Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes, then stepped forward and walked to Xiao Chengping to take his pulse.
The room fell silent for a moment.
After a while, Doctor Feng nodded: "You've recovered well these past two months, so we can change the prescription."
Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Now, when they faced Doctor Feng again, the two attendants no longer distrusted him as before. They stopped playing cards and went forward to serve Doctor Feng tea and water.
"Dr. Feng, I was blind before. I hope you won't take it to heart for your rudeness!"
Doctor Feng waved his hand: "It's nothing. Treating the sick and saving lives is my duty, nothing else."
Hearing this, the two attendants breathed a sigh of relief.
"Doctor Feng, if Young Master Xiao's condition improves, will I no longer need to come over so often?" Yunxi asked.
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Chengping's eyes flickered slightly, but he ultimately said nothing.
Seeing that she truly had no interest in Xiao Chengping, Doctor Feng had nothing more to say: "If you don't want to come, you don't have to."
Yunxi nodded.
When Doctor Feng left, Yunxi also left with him.
The two walked and talked.
"After spending these two months together, don't you have any feelings for him?"
"How does it feel?"
Doctor Feng glanced at her and said, "Stop pretending you don't know."
