vertical day

As soon as Luo Chaoyan, Shu Lan and Fengli walked out of the yard, they met Nanny Song. Two maids followed her and walked over with two wooden boxes.

She was a little confused: "Madame Song, what are you doing?"

Nanny Song said, "Young Madam, there are two thousand-year-old ginsengs in here. The old lady asked you to take them back."

Luo Chaoyan was stunned when she heard this, but then she understood. She thought that Huo Jin had told the old lady about her cousin. She didn't expect that the old lady who usually looked down on her would be so generous.

She smiled and said, "Then please trouble Aunt Song to thank Grandmother for me."

Nanny Song nodded, "Then we won't delay the young lady's visit."

Luo Chaoyan nodded, asked Fengli and Shulan to take the wooden box, and then walked towards the carriage that had been prepared.

Luo Mansion

As soon as Luo Chaoyan returned to the Luo Mansion, she was anxious to check on her cousin. But it was a rare opportunity for her to come back, so she would definitely pay a visit to the elders of the Luo family.

When she entered Mrs. Luo's room, she saw all the women of the Luo family were there, except her mother. But her mother is probably looking after her cousin.

She stepped forward and bowed to the elders, "Grandma! First aunt! Second aunt!"

Madam Luo looked at her and asked, "How is Madam Huo doing lately?"

Luo Chaoyan nodded and said, "Very good."

"You are a younger generation, you must remember to respect your elders and take care of your younger children. You must not act recklessly and do anything that would damage the reputation of the Huo and Luo families."

"Grandma's teachings, your granddaughter will remember them." Huo Rui needs her love and care? That will probably be in next life. Luo Chaoyan felt uneasy.

Luo Zhao smiled and said, "Old lady, don't worry about Ayan. The old lady of the Huo family and Mrs. Huo both value Ayan very much." She sighed softly, "Now it is the marriage of my Chao Ning and Chen Qing that is worrying."

"Sister-in-law, don't worry too much. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Maybe Chao Ning and Chen Qing's destiny has not yet arrived." Luo Cao said.

Luo Zhao said, "Speaking of fate, my Chen Qing has indeed had his fate, but it's a pity that his status is not high enough." As she spoke, she glanced at Luo Chaoyan.

Luo Chaoyan's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this aunt was still planning on the girl from the Liang family? She felt annoyed when she thought of Liang Qianyi's arrogant and willful appearance. She was really fed up with dealing with these rich girls with weird train of thought.

"Aunt, although our family's official rank is not high, as long as my eldest cousin works hard and becomes the top scholar in the future, are you still worried that he cannot win the favor of beautiful women?" Luo Chaoyan said with a smile.

Luo Zhao smiled awkwardly and said, "That being said, your cousin... is still a little behind Master Su and Huo Jin."

Luo Chaoyan said with a firm belief, "Aunt, God will not disappoint a hardworking and upright person. I believe that as long as my cousin works hard, he will definitely pass the imperial examination and bring honor to our family."

Luo Zhao was choked and wondered if this damn girl did it on purpose.

At this time, a maid walked in from outside. She bowed to everyone and said, "Madam, the imperial physician is here."

Madam Luo and the others were stunned when they heard this. The Luo family's status is probably not high enough to hire an imperial physician from the palace.

"Grandma, I heard that my cousin wasn't feeling well, so you asked the imperial physician from the palace to come over." Luo Chaoyan explained to everyone.

Madam Luo nodded, "That's right, take someone to take a look."

Luo Chaoyan nodded quickly. She finally had a legitimate reason to leave.

"Granddaughter, take your leave."

Seeing Luo Chaoyan leave, Luo Zhao was a little disappointed. She wanted her niece to talk to Old Madam Huo and ask her to help her Chen Qing get married into the Liang family.

Luofu Luoxinyuan

"Cough cough..." Yin Miaoshan lay on the bed weakly.

Yin looked at her niece with some worry. She was originally very happy about her niece's arrival, but she didn't expect that her niece came to Kyoto without telling her brother, and she also lost a lot of weight. She was very anxious.

"Aunt, don't worry. I just came here in a hurry and caught a cold. I'll be fine after taking some medicine." Yin Miaoshan said.

Seeing her pale face, Yin wanted to blame her but couldn't bear to do so. She said, "The doctor said that you are depressed. If you don't want your aunt to worry, you should tell her what happened instead of keeping it in your heart."

"Mom! Cousin!"

Luo Chaoyan walked in quickly.

Seeing Yin Miaoshan weakly sitting up, she hurriedly stopped her and said, "Just lie down."

"Cousin, I'm fine!"

Luo Chaoyan rolled her eyes at her and said, "Whether you are okay or not depends on the doctor." Then she asked Shu Lan to invite in the imperial physician who was waiting outside.

"Mother, this is the imperial physician Lu from the palace."

Yin looked at the imperial physician in front of her. He had a handsome face and was about twenty-five years old.

Doctor Lu cupped his hands and said, "Madam Luo."

"Thank you for trouble, Doctor Lu," Yin said gratefully.

Doctor Lu said, "It is a doctor's duty to cure illnesses and save lives. Madam Luo, you don't have to be so polite."

As he said this, he put down his medicine box and took out the medical pillow.

Luo Chaoyan hurriedly took the medical pillow and placed her cousin's hand on it, and asked Shu Lan to move a chair for him and put it next to the bed.

After thanking him, Doctor Lu sat on the chair. He focused his whole body on checking Yin Miaoshan's pulse.

Seeing him frown, Luo Chaoyan asked, "Doctor Lu, what happened to my cousin?"

"She originally just had a cold, and she only needed to take some cold-dispelling medicine to get better, but she was depressed and her blood circulation was blocked. I'm now prescribing some medicine to calm her nerves and relieve her condition."

"It's just that... the heart is the only thing that can cure it. Only by relieving the depression in her heart can she recover."

Depression?

This girl is so heartless. When did she become so thoughtful? Luo Chaoyan looked at Yin Miaoshan. Seeing that she pursed her lips, she did look a little melancholy.

Doctor Lu walked to the table, wrote down a prescription, handed it to Yin, and said, "Boil two doses a day. If the knot in your heart can be untied, you will be cured in no time."

Yin took it and said gratefully, "Thank you, Doctor Lu."

As she spoke, she asked Madam Lu to take out a five-hundred-liang silver note and handed it to him, saying, "Doctor Lu, this is a small gift from me. I hope you don't mind it."

Doctor Lu quickly waved his hand to refuse, saying: "Madam Luo, there is no need to do this. I am only entrusted by others and I must be loyal to them. I cannot accept this gift." If he accepted the money from Huo Jin's mother-in-law, she would write some sour poems to mock him if she knew about it.

Seeing his firm attitude, Yin gave up and said, "Then I will see Doctor Lu off."

Having said that, he politely escorted the person out.

Luo Chaoyan saw Yin and his men walk out and sit on a chair. She didn't say anything, but just stared at Yin Miaoshan.

"Cousin, don't look at me like that. I'm scared." Yin Miaoshan said with a smile.

Luo Chaoyan rolled her eyes at her and said, "Tell me, did something happen in Jeju?"

Yin Miaoshan lowered her eyes somewhat unnaturally, "Cousin, I... I'm fine."

"Yin Miaoshan, we grew up together. Who do you think you can hide this evil look from?" Luo Chao said, "Do you remember what we said when we were kids and playing together?"

Yin Miaoshan pursed her lips and nodded: "Life is only a few decades long, there is no need to make things difficult for yourself."

"Are you making things difficult for yourself now?" Luo Chaoyan asked her.

Yin Miaoshan smiled bitterly: "Cousin, I don't want to make things difficult for myself, but..."

"Wuwu... I can't help thinking about... thinking about the days we were together. He... he... he could treat me like this... Wuwu..."

he? This girl is in love?
