Xu Jiang sent Wu Zhi back to the courtyard, asked Yin Yin to help Wu Zhi pack his luggage, and then went to Lou Yunchun's study to wait for him.
Wu Zhi had a lot of luggage, including medical books, herbs, and instruments... not enough to fit in one room. When the servants carried a medicine furnace into the yard, Yin Yin's eyes almost popped out of her head.
She walked to the medicine furnace and compared it. The furnace was almost as tall as her.
"Doctor Wu, are we going to make elixirs in this yard?" Will I become an immortal after taking the elixir?
"What kind of elixir are you refining? This is used to prepare medicinal materials." All highly toxic medicinal materials need to be prepared. Wu Zhi's furnace is specially made by the Wu family. It is more convenient to gather and control fire than ordinary medicine furnaces. That's why they brought it to the capital despite the long journey.
Yin Yin was a little disappointed, then she looked at the adjacent rooms and asked, "Where should we put this stove?" None of the rooms was suitable, and it couldn't be put in the yard, right?
"Kitchen." When Madam Lou and Xu Jiang took her to familiarize herself with the place, she remembered that the kitchen was empty. It was not used for anything other than boiling water, so it was just the right place to place the medicine furnace.
So the group carried the stove back to the kitchen.
The stove was lit for testing, and Wu Zhi asked Yin Yin to watch the fire. Yin Yin saw that the fire was burning, and her eyes rolled around. She remembered that the taro by the stream in the yard was ripe, so she went to dig up two taro plants, picked the taro and put them in the stove.
When Wu Zhi smelled the fragrance and went to the kitchen to check, he saw that the little girl's mouth was swollen from eating. He then stepped forward and knocked the remaining two away from her hands.
Yin Yin looked at her aggrievedly.
Wu Zhi pulled her over to the water tank, scooped water with a ladle, pinched her mouth, and poured it down, until she was bubbling. When her stomach was bloated, he pressed down on it, and Yinyin immediately vomited everything in her stomach with a "wow!" He continued pouring water, doing this three or four times until Yinyin's face turned pale and she vomited everything in her stomach.
Wu Zhi pinched her mouth, looked at her, and took her pulse. After confirming that she was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he patted Yin Yin's head and scolded her, "You foodie! I just used this stove to prepare aconite last time, and you're using it to roast taro? Are you trying to save yourself?"
Yin Yin was frightened by her, and tears immediately filled her eyes. Against the backdrop of her shiny swollen lips, she looked as pitiful and funny as could be.
Wu Zhi suppressed his laughter and asked with a fierce face, "Will you dare to be greedy next time?"
Yin Yin shook her head, "I don't dare anymore."
Wu Zhi patted her head and said, "Remember, anything that belongs to me, you must not touch it, let alone eat it without permission, okay?"
Yin Yin nodded, "I understand."
Wu Zhi stared at her lips for a few seconds and said, "You go and rest. I'll do it myself."
"Doctor Wu..." Yin Yin was afraid that she would be angry, so she didn't dare to leave.
Wu Zhi couldn't help but pinch her mouth and said, "It's okay, go ahead."
Yinyin left with tears in her eyes.
After she left, Wu Zhi laughed so hard that he doubled over.
Yinyin returned to her room. After the discomfort in her stomach subsided, she felt her mouth a little numb and itchy. She touched it and it felt numb and soft. She then ran to the dressing table to look in the mirror.
"ah--!"
————Dividing Line————
Lou Yunchun came out of the front room and heard A Shou say that Xu Jiang was waiting for him in the study. He immediately strode towards the study. As soon as he entered, he saw Xu Jiang sleeping on the couch. He then walked slowly and cautiously to her.
Xu Jiang sensed someone approaching and opened his eyes. When he saw it was him, he reached out and pulled him to sit down.
"Why don't you go back to sleep?"
"I'm not asleep, I'm just resting." Xu Jiang noticed that his hands were a little cold, so she held him in her hands and asked, "Auntie and Uncle are asleep?"
Lou Yunchun nodded.
Xu Jiang saw that he looked depressed, so she asked, "Did you know?"
"I've already asked Mother about this." Lou Yunchun blamed himself, "Although I knew Mother was frail and needed care for so many years, I didn't realize it had become so serious."
"These are women's diseases, so it's inconvenient to explain in detail, and they are also afraid that you will worry." The couple was indeed wrong in this regard, but it was understandable.
"It's a common symptom among many parents and children to only report good news and not bad news. There's no point in dwelling on it. Now, since Ah Zhi says she can cure it, she must be absolutely sure. We know her medical skills best, and with her around, Auntie will be safe."
In the candlelight, Xu Jiang's quiet and beautiful face, tolerant eyes, and broad-minded words melted away Lou Yunchun's guilt and calmed his turbulent mood.
"What we need to do from now on is to cooperate with Azhi and treat Auntie's illness well, so that she can recover soon and live a long life."
Xu Jiang understood Lou Yunchun's self-blame and guilt. In her opinion, Lou Yunchun had not only the responsibility of being a son to his parents, but also the love of being a son. It was just that these feelings were suppressed in his heart and could not be expressed.
A mother and her child are connected by heart. Now, when he heard that Mrs. Lou was in danger of her life, and thought about how he had been responsible to his parents over the years but had not given them enough, he was tormented.
This is actually a good thing. Once it is talked out, the family will have no more grudges from now on.
Lou Yunchun stared at her, unable to help but recall the scene when she, covered in dust, burst into Chang'an and into his world. He felt incredibly fortunate at this moment. If they hadn't met at that time, how could he have glimpsed the light in the chaos and awakened to his own self.
Knowing that my friend is like this, I will die without regrets.
He buried his head in her shoulder and said in a low voice, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
Xu Jiang patted his head, wondering why the heartbroken Moon Slave was so endearing. Then she glanced around and placed a soothing kiss on his ear.
Warm breath sprayed on her neck, and Lou Yunchun put his arms around her waist.
"Sister Xu!" A crying voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Xu Jiang suddenly stood up and pushed Lou Yunchun aside. Lou Yunchun groaned as the wooden table on the couch hit his waist, causing numbness. He couldn't stand up for a while.
