Chapter 312 Cousin
He always had that look of "I don't care if you want to treat it, so be it".
And now, his sudden surprise made everyone focus on the long box in Hu Xiner's hand.
"This ginseng is excellent! Excellent! It's at least a thousand years old. What's even more rare is that not a single hair was damaged when it was unearthed. It has also been preserved extremely well, and the vital energy inside hasn't leaked out!"
Doctor Zhou was full of praise for this ginseng and seemed like a completely different person.
The second old lady quickly wiped away her tears and said, "Doctor Zhou, can this cure my grandson's injury?"
Doctor Zhou's face turned stern again: "It's someone else's property, why are you asking about it?"
The second old lady was choked by what she wanted to say.
But for the sake of her grandson in bed, she changed her tone and asked in a softer tone, "Doctor Zhou, this is an urgent matter. Please give me some advice. I just want to buy this ginseng."
Doctor Zhou closed the lid and said, "Don't even think about it. You can't buy this thing with money. I haven't even collected it!"
The second old lady hesitated for a moment and looked at Hu Xiner.
Doctor Zhou asked expectantly, "Madam, are you looking for some medicine? I can also make medicinal dishes and soups. You don't have to pay, can you just give me a small piece of ginseng?"
"What a waste." The second old lady blurted out.
Old Master Liu warned with a dark face: "If you talk nonsense, go back to the Liu family!"
The second old lady suddenly felt aggrieved: "I am also thinking about Chuo'er. This ginseng is a tonic. How can Xin'er bear it?"
Old Master Liu wanted to say something but paused. He might not have such good ginseng in his house.
But he finally said: "After all, this is Xin'er's thing. Even if she can't bear it, can't we keep it for next time?"
Seeing that the Second Old Lady was about to quarrel with Old Master Liu, Hu Xin'er tried to dissuade them, saying, "It's okay. It's not a big deal anyway. I don't like ginseng either."
Before the two people who were arguing could say anything, Lord Liu raised his sleeves and sobbed, "Mrs. Lu, thank you... thank you..."
Men don't shed tears easily, but they do when they are sad.
Although family members don't talk behind each other's backs, Hu Xin'er was almost a stranger to them before today, so they still had to be polite to each other.
The second old lady thanked him profusely and said, "I wonder where you got this ginseng from. We in the Liu family should also keep a few roots on hand."
Hu Xin'er originally wanted to say that he was from the Lu Mansion, but when she thought of Mu Qing, her heart sank.
She didn't want to bring up anything related to Mu Qing, so she said angrily, "I don't know where this came from. If you, grandma, don't mind its unknown origin, just ask the doctor to cut it up and boil it into medicine!"
Doctor Zhou took the box and went to boil the medicine happily. Because Hu Xin'er promised to give him some ginseng slices, he also provided a lot of extra services.
He actually opened the door of the hunting ground as if he knew the place well, and inside was a very luxurious residence of the Duke.
"My son is in charge of this place." Doctor Zhou introduced briefly with his hands behind his back, then took two steps on the spot, and his son immediately ran over to unlock the door.
Hu Xin'er was in a bad mood, but she was also stunned by this operation: "You are..."
Wow, no wonder he’s so arrogant, turns out he’s got connections!
Doctor Zhou smiled as he turned to her. "Don't be surprised, young lady. This place is remote and Young Master Liu's injury is not suitable for moving. You are all wealthy families. If you are really worried about Young Master Liu, you can stay here."
It was the Duke's Mansion that harmed the people, and they just walked away. It is only right that the Liu family lives in their residence.
Young Master Liu indeed developed a fever at night, but with the help of excellent people and extremely comfortable care, he was able to survive.
In the middle of the night, Mrs. Liu was really worried, so she broke away from the people in the main house and ran over.
The next day, when they saw Liu Yanchuo conscious, the couple cried with joy. They were both sentimental people and expressed their gratitude to Hu Xiner from the bottom of their hearts.
The second old lady of the Liu family also sincerely accepted Hu Xiner's identity.
Hu Xiner inexplicably gained a wave of favorability, and she should have been happy, but when she thought that it was because of Mu Qing's instructions and that such a good ginseng was wasted, she felt depressed.
Old Master Liu saw it all, and while he felt distressed, he also secretly thought that he must never let his granddaughter suffer in the future!
At the gate of the main house, the Liu family members were looking forward to it.
"Mom, didn't my cousin and his family move out? Why are they suddenly coming back?" Liu Zhi curled his lips. "I'm afraid they want to fight with us for our family property, right?"
There were no outsiders here, so they were bolder in speaking privately.
Liu Qingyi immediately looked wary. "And that Hu Xin'er? They say a daughter who's married off is like spilled water. Why is she still running to our Liu family? I think they're just here to help the Second Old Lady bully us!"
My uncle put his hands in his sleeves and observed the clouds in the sky.
The old lady frowned and said, "Let's take it one step at a time."
As they were talking, the Liu family's carriage arrived. They immediately put on smiling faces and gathered around the carriage.
Liu Yanchuo had just woken up and was already very weak. When he saw this scene, he almost fainted again.
What annoyed him most were the group of beautiful girls in the main house. Old Master Liu had chosen to marry a virtuous woman, so the eldest lady's appearance could only be considered dignified, and the children she gave birth to were also not good-looking. In the capital city where there were so many beauties, they could only be considered pretty.
Mr. Liu believed that if a person was not good-looking and spoke harshly, people who dealt with her would feel like they were being tortured.
"Go away!" Seeing that Young Master Liu was about to faint, Old Master Liu was also shocked.
Doctor Zhou said that if Young Master Liu wants to fully recover, he will need at least half a year.
Therefore, he was taken back to the main house, and Lord Liu and the others had to come back with him.
As the only male child, Liu Yanchuo was already very favored, and he was seriously injured. He was carried back home almost like the moon surrounded by stars, and Old Master Liu also assigned a large number of people to serve him.
No one thought it was inappropriate, but Liu Qingyi was so jealous that she almost tore her handkerchief.
Although Hu Xin'er saw it, she was too lazy to care about this nominal cousin.
During Liu Yanchuo's convalescence, his wife Chen did not allow him to go out at all, and he had to eat, drink, defecate, urinate and sleep in bed.
Within half a day, he was so bored that he asked someone to knock on the door of Lanxinyuan.
"Who is it?" Yun Qiu opened the door cautiously and was a little surprised after hearing what the servant said.
Hu Xiner thought about it and decided to go.
When she arrived, Liu Yanchuo was reading a book. Seeing her, he smiled and said, "I never thought you would be my cousin."
