Gu Xin chuckled and said, "Okay, okay, I know, I was just kidding. Go to sleep, don't overthink it. After you finish your exams and deal with Xiao Qiu's matter, you can slowly become good friends with him!"
Gu En could only nod.
The siblings went back to their respective rooms.
...
The next morning, Gu Xin still went to the Ministry of Rites. She learned things quickly and only took an hour to learn what was listed that day, so she went back first.
They also need to prepare medicine for Zheng Qiu's brother.
The main problem is that I haven't seen her brother's legs, so I don't know what the situation is like.
After seeing it, she would use the jade beads. She wasn't sure if the jade beads would be effective in helping her brother stand up, but it would definitely be better than the current situation.
Zheng Qiu also contacted the elders of the Yong'an Marquis's mansion, and then disguised himself as a servant and went to the Yong'an Marquis's mansion.
Everything is going according to plan.
After being comforted by Gu Xin, Gu En stopped insisting on finding Zheng Qiu. Indeed, there are always people more capable than you, and he began preparing for his exams.
Two days passed quickly. Zheng Qiu arranged to meet Gu Xin at an inn so that she could get medical treatment for her brother there.
Gu Xin went alone.
This was the first time she had seen Zheng Qiu's brother. Zheng Qiu's brother was already of marriageable age and had been married before, but his wife was in poor health and died less than a year after their marriage. The two had never even consummated their marriage.
Zheng Qiu's older brother, Zheng Han, was in a wheelchair. He looked somewhat frail, with a pale face and bloodless lips.
When he saw Gu Xin, he greeted her politely and said some pleasantries.
Gu Xin waved her hand: "Young Master Zheng, there's no need for that. I'm Xiao Qiu's friend, I don't care about such trivial matters. Let's begin now!"
Gu Xin first took Zheng Han's pulse, and the more she felt it, the more alarmed she became.
It's not as simple as a leg injury; this is clearly poisoning! The reason your leg hasn't been healing might also be due to the toxins.
She looked at Zheng Han: "Young Master Zheng, have you been taking medicine?"
Zheng Han nodded.
Zheng Qiu asked worriedly, "Xin Xin, is there something wrong with the medicine?"
Gu Xin pondered for a moment and said, "That's right, there's something wrong with the medicine. Young Master Zheng's pulse is weak. If he continues to take the usual medication, he might not survive..."
Gu Xin made a "one" gesture.
Zheng Qiu slammed his fist on the table in anger: "Even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cub! Brother, your leg is injured, how can he just stand by and watch that woman harm you like this!"
Zheng Han's eyes remained expressionless, unlike Zheng Qiu's anger.
Over the years, he had long since seen through the situation at home. His only worry was his younger brother, whom he thought had gone to the same place as his mother.
If Zheng Qiu hadn't suddenly appeared this year, he might have lost the will to live long ago.
Zheng Qiu calmed herself down and asked Gu Xin, "Xin Xin, is there any way to improve my brother's health?"
Gu Xin nodded: "There is a way. But there is a problem: how many of the people serving at Young Master Zheng's home can be trusted?"
Zheng Han said, "One. The whole courtyard is full of that woman's people."
Gu Xin pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and said, "If I can assure you that I can trust you, then I'll make the pills for you. From now on, try not to drink the medicine your family gives you. Drinking it anymore could really be life-threatening. Of course, if it's convenient, you'd better bring me the dregs to see, so that the medicine I prepare will be more effective."
