On the tray was a brand-new coat, judging from the style, it should have been taken from the Brocade Pavilion. It wasn't a fine silk dress, but the style she usually wore.
The maid said, "This was sent by the young master. We will help you go in and do your makeup."
Xiao Yunying stopped worrying about the clothes Ling Qi had taken, tidied herself up, and asked, "I can wear these myself. What about Yuan Cheng?"
"Young Master and Miss are both in the Second Young Master's courtyard. The Second Young Master has a persistent high fever, and Young Master has been watching over him since morning."
Still has a fever?
This could be quite dangerous.
Xiao Yunying quickened her dressing and continued to ask, "Has Luo Yang woken up?"
"Young Master Luo Yang has woken up and is in the Second Young Master's room."
She casually combed her hair and casually tied it up: "Then take me there."
"Don't you want something to eat, young lady?"
Xiao Yunying glanced at the sun, estimating that it was almost noon, and thought that they could eat together: "I'm not hungry yet, take me to see Yuanxuan first."
She followed the maid to Chen Yuanxuan's courtyard. On the way, she secretly took some anti-inflammatory and antipyretic medicine, wrapped it simply in oil paper, and held it in her hand.
As she stood at the door waiting for the maid to announce her arrival, she wondered why they were suddenly talking about rules.
Could it be that Chen's parents or elders are inside?
Then they heard the voice of an older woman inside.
"Let her in."
Xiao Yunying's scalp tingled; could it be that Old Madam Chen was inside?
She felt a little nervous as she went inside and saw an elderly woman with gray hair sitting next to Chen Yuanxuan's bed.
His face was still kind, but he looked worried because he was concerned about Chen Yuanxuan.
Chen Yuanyao came over and put her arm around her, introducing her: "Sister Yunying, this is my grandmother. Grandmother, this is Sister Yunying that I often tell you about. All those exotic foods were sent by Sister Yunying."
Xiao Yunying curtsied and said, "Greetings, Madam Chen."
Old Mrs. Chen hummed in agreement: "The manners are not bad."
Xiao Yunying was completely confused. Was this a compliment?
Then why do you have such a cold face?
Luo Yang walked over and called out softly, "Mother."
Xiao Yunying noticed that his complexion was much better than yesterday, and he was wearing new clothes, so there was nothing wrong with him on the surface.
As for whether he has been left with psychological trauma, we'll have to go home and observe him, and talk to him to find out.
Chen Yuancheng came over and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Xiao Yunying said truthfully, "It's okay, just a little sore, nothing serious."
She tilted her head, feeling the scrutinizing gaze of Old Madam Chen.
From an angle where Old Madam Chen couldn't see, she winked at Chen Yuancheng, silently asking herself what she should do to avoid being impolite.
Chen Yuancheng gave her a reassuring look that said, "Stay calm, don't panic."
The room was quiet for a moment, and Xiao Yunying couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"Is Yuanxuan still suffering from a high fever?"
Chen Yuancheng nodded worriedly: "He was fine when he came back last night, but he developed a high fever in the middle of the night and it hasn't gone down yet. He's been feeling dizzy and hasn't been fully conscious."
Footsteps sounded outside the door, and a maid lifted the curtain, bringing in a bowl of medicine herself.
Xiao Yunying stepped aside and called out, "Aunt Su."
Madam Chen only looked away from the medicine bowl in her hand after hearing this, and asked her, "Yunying is awake. Have you eaten? Are you feeling unwell?"
Xiao Yunying couldn't help but wrinkle her nose when she smelled the aroma of the Chinese herbal soup.
This Chinese herbal decoction really does smell awful no matter what ailment it's treating.
It tastes bad too.
"I'm fine, Aunt Su. Is this medicine for Yuanxuan?"
"Yes, it's a new prescription from the doctor. Please sit for a while, I'll go feed Xuan'er his medicine."
In front of so many people, Xiao Yunying didn't dare to take out the pills in her hand directly.
After Madam Chen took the medicine bowl to the bedside, she tugged at Chen Yuancheng's sleeve.
Chen Yuancheng lowered his head and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
With her back to everyone, Xiao Yunying took out pills wrapped in oil paper: "I have medicine here that should be able to reduce Yuanxuan's fever, but this medicine... looks a bit strange."
Chen Yuancheng took it, opened the oil paper, saw the pills inside, and remained silent.
Xiao Yunying said, "This medicine is quite effective at reducing fever, it just looks a bit strange. If you don't believe me..."
"How could I not believe you? I was just thinking about how to get Grandmother away so that Yuanxuan could be fed."
Xiao Yunying was both surprised and touched.
Chen Yuancheng not only did not doubt the origin and efficacy of the medicine, but also took into account her concerns.
No wonder she considers him a friend.
"Yuancheng, what are you doing?"
Seeing that the two were talking to each other with their backs to them, Old Madam Chen finally couldn't help but ask.
Xiao Yunying turned around, feeling guilty, and made up a reason: "I'm thanking Yuan Cheng for letting Luo Yang and me stay here for the night."
Madam Chen snorted: "She's just a country girl after all, she has no manners. How can she call out the names of men outside the village so casually?"
They completely forgot that they had just praised the other person for being well-behaved.
Xiao Yunying pursed her lips, having gotten used to calling him that, and had forgotten these so-called "rules and etiquette".
She wasn't embarrassed by Old Madam Chen's lecture in front of so many people because she knew that Old Madam Chen was right about this point and wasn't deliberately picking on her.
"What the old lady says is true. Yunying was impolite."
Seeing that Xiao Yunying showed no shame or anger, but instead directly admitted her mistake, Madam Chen was deeply moved.
On the one hand, I think this girl is poised and generous, unlike the affected manner of ordinary young ladies; on the other hand, I think she is... shameless.
