When their eyes met, Yu Tongchen's eyes moved slightly and he looked away first.
"Come in." Throwing the backpack to Ziling, Yu Tongchen walked in front, "I'll prepare this ginseng later."
"Okay, Master."
Ziling picked up the medicine basket and scratched his head in confusion. Why did Master put the person in without asking what illness the patient had?
Shu Shiyu followed Yu Tongchen into the yard. Bai Tong followed Shu Shiyu closely, carrying a large box behind him.
Zi Ling opened her mouth wide when she saw this. Is she that strong? The box looked very heavy.
The Pearl of All Worlds rolled in front of Shu Shiyu with excitement.
Awww, ahhh, God, God!
Jing Mo had already returned. Seeing the guests coming, he went to bring over a pot of tea.
Yu Tongchen glanced at the tea that Jing Mo poured out and said, "Change to turmeric tea."
Shu Shiyu looked up at him with a little warmth in his eyes after hearing this, "Thank you."
Yu Tongchen did not respond.
Jing Mo couldn't help but look at Yu Tongchen again. The young master was a little surprised. Didn't he use this kind of tea to entertain guests before?
Shu Shiyu took out the blood jade pendant with carp pattern from his sleeve and said, "My grandfather told me that if I take out this jade pendant, the doctor will know."
"My name is Shu Shiyu."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shu Shiyu couldn't help the itch in his throat and started coughing with his hands covering his lips. His cough was weak and long.
Yu Tongchen lowered his eyes, waited for her to finish coughing, stepped forward to feel her pulse, and said after a while: "She is born with deficiency, her pulse is weak and floating, she is short of breath, her body is cold and weak, and she has heavy dampness."
"There is also fetal poison. It is not easy to survive until now."
"Stay here for two years. I will take care of you. Once you are well, I will have repaid your grandfather's kindness."
Shu Shiyu raised his head slightly, "Can the fetal poison be cured?"
"Can."
"How many years can I live after the poison is removed?"
"If you take good care of yourself, you may not be as healthy as an average person, but living to 40 or 50 years old is not a problem."
"Stop taking the medicines that other doctors have prescribed for you."
Shu Shiyu tightened his grip on the chair, "Okay."
"Really?!" Bai Tong couldn't help but ask.
"My master never says anything he is not sure of!" Seeing Bai Tong's doubts, Zi Ling said angrily, "Since you are here to treat the disease, it must be..."
"Zi Ling, shut up." Yu Tongchen glanced at him.
Ziling stopped talking, but his expression was still angry.
"That's great Miss, finally there's a doctor who doesn't say you won't live more than a year even if you're cured of the poison!"
"Cough cough..." Shu Shiyu's face was filled with fatigue. The long journey had made her exhausted.
That's how her sickly body is. She would fall ill when the weather changes or the wind blows. The bumpy journey has made her physically and mentally exhausted.
Yu Tongchen glanced at her and said, "Jing Mo, go and arrange the guest rooms."
"Yes, sir."
Shu Shiyu looked at Bai Tong, and Bai Tong understood and handed Shu Shiyu a light green satin purse embroidered with orchids.
Shu Shiyu handed the purse to Jing Mo, "This is the board and lodging expenses for our master and servant for the past two years, as well as my medical expenses."
Jing Mo didn't answer and went to see Yu Tongchen.
Yu Tongchen took a sip of tea and said, "Take it."
Jing Mo accepted the bulging purse upon hearing that, and it felt heavy in his hand.
"Miss Shu, come with me. My name is Jing Mo."
Shu Shiyu withdrew his hand, nodded, and rubbed his wrist as he turned around.
"Zi Ling, when Jing Mo comes back later, ask him to make a lighter lunch. He doesn't have a good appetite today."
"Oh, okay!" Ziling nodded when he heard that.
Yu Tongchen withdrew his gaze from the blue figure, drank the tea in the cup and returned to the house.
Sitting at the table, Yu Tongchen rolled up his sleeves and ground ink.
"Is she the one you are protecting?"
"Yes, yes, she is a little weak. If you cure her and protect her from accidental death, you will have accomplished your mission!" The Pearl of All Worlds floated in front of Yu Tongchen.
