Laughter filled the private room not far away. Hua Yujie ate much more than usual during the meal, which almost brought tears of gratitude to the eyes of Cuiling, the maid serving her.

It had been a long time since the young lady had such a good appetite. Seeing that the young lady's health was becoming increasingly weak, the Bai family tried many methods, but none of them had made much of a difference.

Yunhe was already used to this kind of master. When she was with the young master before, it was much more exaggerated than it is now.

"You look so frail, you should eat more. Here, have some soup." Qian Youxue served Hua Yujie a bowl of soup and added some vegetables.

Hua Yujie happily ate the food and drank the soup, then elegantly wiped her mouth. When Qian Youxue picked up her chopsticks again, she quickly waved her hand and said, "No, no, no, I really can't eat anymore."

Qian Youxue didn't force her. Compared to their last meeting, Hua Yujie's complexion was slightly better. However, it was only slightly better; her aura was still not very strong, and the fluctuations of spiritual energy around her were very small.

She looked up at the maid Cuiling and said, "I heard that a pastry shop has opened up ahead. Yunhe hasn't been here long. Would it be alright if Miss Cuiling accompanied me there?"

Cui Ling never leaves her mistress's side, let alone someone she's only met twice. This puts her in a bit of a dilemma. After listening, she hesitates and looks at her mistress.

"Go early and come back early!" Hua Yujie said simply, and then began to serve food to Qian Youxue.

"Delicious, really delicious, this tastes just like Huangquelou." Qian Youxue said the name, but her heart ached a little.

The Yellow Sparrow Tower is the restaurant opposite the Ten Thousand Medicines Pavilion. It was a place she and Wu Xie often went to. Now, she wondered how that boy was doing.

"Huangquelou? How about we go eat there together next time, sister?" Hua Yujie didn't notice the sadness in Qian Youxue's eyes and answered accordingly.

"Okay! I'll definitely take you next time we go out." Qian Youxue said, pulling herself back to reality. Looking up, she saw that the two maids had already left, so she put down her chopsticks and took Hua Yujie's hand.

Hua Yujie blinked, tilted her head and looked at Qian Youxue, not understanding what she was going to do.

Qian Youxue ignored Hua Yujie's curiosity and frowned as soon as she took her pulse.

"So, my sister is also skilled in medicine?" Hua Yujie was surprised. There were many rumors about Qian Youxue, but none of them mentioned that she knew medicine.

Qian Youxue smiled faintly, her tone tinged with sadness, and said, "I've become a doctor through long illness. I've been in poor health since I was a child, so I've read a lot of medical books. If I'm not mistaken, my sister suffers terribly during her period every month, and her blood turns black, right?"

Hua Yujie knew that Qian Youxue was not doing well in the Qian family. In comparison, she herself was weak and sickly, but she had loving parents and a brother. She was really very lucky.

She gave Qian Youxue a warm smile and took out a sachet from her body, putting it into Qian Youxue's hand: "Sister Youxue, this is something my father taught me to make myself. I put some good spices in it, and I'm giving it to you!"

Qian Youxue was stunned for a moment, not expecting that someone would give her something. Coming back to her senses, she accepted the sachet and said happily, "I like it, thank you!"

The spices in the sachet were easily recognizable by their scent; they weren't particularly expensive medicinal herbs. Yet, this was the first woman to give her a gift since she arrived. This simple act of kindness made the gift more precious than anything else in her heart.

Thinking of the sisters in the Qianjia Compound who are still related by blood, I couldn't help but feel a little sad.

"Wh...what's wrong? Did Yu Jie say something wrong?" Hua Yu Jie saw that Qian Youxue's eyes were red and became flustered.
