Wu Muzhen trusted herself immensely.
After all, her many years navigating the world weren’t for nothing.
Even if Bayezhen was precious, it was still just a herb.
She was confident she could definitely find it.
It was just a matter of time. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
So there was no need to worry.
Upon hearing this, Fang Hongyu looked at Wu Muzhen, "Aunt Wu, I’ll leave this matter in your hands then."
Wu Muzhen smiled, "Hongyu, do we even need to say this between us?"
Fang Hongyu also smiled.
Over the years, without Wu Muzhen, she didn’t know how she could have carried on.
As she finished speaking, Wu Muzhen continued to ask, "How has your uncle been these past couple of days?"
"The same as always."
Coughing day in and day out, Fang Hongyu worried that without Wu Muzhen, Tang Shaowei might cough himself to death.
Fang Hongyu was in a very conflicting state of mind now.
She wished Tang Shaowei and Fang Youling would drop dead right away.
Better yet, to die without a complete corpse.
But she was also terrified of the possibility of something actually happening to them.
After all, if the two of them really met with mishap, all the Tang Group’s and Tang Family’s wealth would go to the state.
Wu Muzhen slightly frowned, "Has he coughed up blood?"
"No, there’s been no blood. It’s just that these past few days, the coughing seems to be worse than before," Fang Hongyu replied.
Upon hearing this, Wu Muzhen narrowed her eyes.
After a moment, Wu Muzhen rose from her chair, took out two boxes of medicine from the medicine box, "Take this medicine back with you and have your uncle take one pill each morning and evening."
"Okay, Aunt Wu." Fang Hongyu nodded her head.
Wu Muzhen continued, "Your aunt and uncle are among the few relatives you have left in this world, no matter what, they cannot come to harm. As their niece, you must pay close attention to their health, and if there is any abnormality, remember to notify me immediately."
Seeing Wu Muzhen’s serious expression, Fang Hongyu said, "Okay, Aunt Wu, I’ll remember."
Shortly thereafter, Fang Hongyu suggested leaving.
Wu Muzhen stood up to see her out.
Fang Hongyu turned to look at Wu Muzhen, "Aunt Wu, it’s too cold outside, and you’re not so young anymore, please go back inside."
Wu Muzhen laughed lightly, "You don’t need to worry about my health."
Seeing that Wu Muzhen was unwilling to go back, Fang Hongyu picked up a fur coat hanging on the rack and draped it over Wu Muzhen.
Wu Muzhen patted Fang Hongyu’s hand, all was said without words.
The driver was waiting outside, and as soon as he saw Fang Hongyu emerge, he immediately opened the car door.
Entering the car, Fang Hongyu didn’t immediately close the door, but instead looked at Wu Muzhen, "Aunt Wu, please go back!"
Wu Muzhen drew her fur coat closer around herself, her eyes and brows filled with a kindly smile, "Okay."
Although she said "okay", she watched the car pull away until it was out of sight.
Fang Hongyu, watching the figure grow blurrier in the rearview mirror, couldn’t quite articulate how she felt.
An hour later.
The car stopped at the entrance of the Tang Family home.
Fang Hongyu, holding the medicine she had brought back from Wu Muzhen, walked towards the East Courtyard.
The doors to the East Courtyard were firmly shut; it seems Tang Shaowei and Fang Youling had already retired for the night.
Fang Hongyu then woke the servant in charge of caring for Tang Shaowei, "Aunt Liu."
Aunt Liu rubbed her eyes and said, "Miss Hongyu, what brings you here at this late hour?"
So many years have passed.
The title of "Miss" was reserved for Tang Qiushui.
All the members of the Tang Family referred to Fang Hongyu as Miss Hongyu, and no one ever addressed her as the ’young miss’.
She too was human and could feel aggrieved.
But it seemed like no one ever took her feelings into consideration.
With this thought, Fang Hongyu’s gaze darkened slightly, but she nevertheless said gently, "I just visited Doctor Wu, and she gave me two boxes of medicine for my uncle. He needs to take it morning and night every day. Remember to give it to my uncle tomorrow morning, Aunt Liu."
Aunt Liu was taken aback at first but then said, "Miss Hongyu, with the heavy snow outside, how did you manage to get there?"
Fang Hongyu smiled lightly, her tone unconcerned as she said, "I took the car there."
Hearing this, Aunt Liu felt that Fang Hongyu really had it tough.
The old master and mistress were not Fang Hongyu’s birth parents, but as their niece, Fang Hongyu had braved the snowy weather at sub-zero temperatures to get the medicine. Not just any niece would do what Fang Hongyu had done—indeed, many birth children might not even match her dedication.
After a moment, Aunt Liu looked at Fang Hongyu and said, "Miss Hongyu, you are truly dutiful."
Fang Hongyu’s tone remained gentle, "I was raised by my aunt and uncle; it’s right that I show them filial piety. Aunt Liu, I won’t keep you from your rest any longer. Remember to give my uncle his medicine tomorrow morning."
Aunt Liu nodded her head, "Yes, Miss Hongyu."
