Chapter 402: Medicine
As soon as Song Wushao came back, he saw Xu Qingshan sitting in the courtyard in a daze. He immediately went up to him and teased him, looking at him and said, "Why, my brother Xu, who used to be a scholar and aloof, is gone now?"
Xu Qingshan heard Song Wushao's mocking laughter and simply sat down on the ground, not hiding his disappointment. He looked at Song Wushao and said, "Brother Song, why can't two people who really love each other be together wholeheartedly? Why do two people have to weigh so many things?"
Song Wu Shao heard what he said, but he didn't know how to answer. He just patted his shoulder blankly and said, "It's late at night. Even if you don't take care of your body, you should think about the person in the room who is worried about you. If you torture yourself like this, won't it also make her heartbroken? What's the difference between torturing her? Go back and rest early."
After Song Wu Shao said this, he turned and left.
Xu Qingshan looked at the light which was still on in Gu Yuanniang's room. Finally, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, forced a smile again, and walked in.
As soon as he entered the room, Gu Yue Niang was amazed, immediately opened her eyes, weakly supported her body, and looked at him.
Seeing this, Xu Qingshan immediately stepped forward to support Gu Yuanniang, and comforted her to lie down: "Mrs. Xu said that you need more rest. Lie down well. Stay in bed for the next few days. I will take care of your meals and other things."
"You're not mad at me anymore?"
Gu Yuanniang spoke slowly.
Xu Qingshan touched her hairline with relief and remained silent for a long time.
Then he spoke: "You have paid so much for me and made so many concessions. Why should I be angry with you? Mother actually wants that Liu Mei to stay over there. Let her stay!"
When Gu Yuanniang heard this, she did not say anything. The two of them looked at each other in silence and an awkward atmosphere filled the air.
At this moment, Liu Mei pushed open the door and walked in, slowly walking in with a pot of medicinal tea in her hand and handed it to Gu Yuanniang.
He said, "Did I disturb Mr. Xu and my sister?"
Gu Yuan's mother shook her head. Xu Qingshan had a cold face but said nothing in the end.
Seeing this, Liu Mei took the medicine in her hand and took a step forward. She looked at him and said, "I was strolling in the yard earlier, wanting to get familiar with the structure of the house. Unexpectedly, I ran into the young master who was boiling medicine in the kitchen, so I brought this medicine in. I was a little rude, but thinking that my sister hasn't taken the medicine today, I was a little anxious. I hope my sister doesn't mind."
"It's okay." Gu Yuanniang responded to him and reached out to take the medicine. When she was about to drink it, Xu Qingshan snatched it away.
Seeing Xu Qingshan's nervous look, Gu Yuanniang was still a little confused. Xu Qingshan looked at Liu Mei in front of him coldly and said, "Okay, it's late at night. You should go back early. I'll do these things."
Liu Mei was a little embarrassed by this sudden words, but she could only nod.
"Mrs. Xu has arranged a room for me. Mr. Xu and sister don't have to worry. In that case, I will withdraw first."
As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Mei was answered by silence.
Seeing this, she felt a little embarrassed and slowly retreated, but Liu Mei had just left.
Xu Qingshan poured all the medicine Liu Mei brought over into the flower pot. Gu Yuanniang was still a little puzzled. She said, "Why are you doing this? Xuguo has worked hard to boil these medicines. Why do you have to pour them all out?"
Xu Qingshan remained silent, but took a step forward, took Gu Yuanniang's hand, and said, "You forgot that there was some blood-dried grass in the previous medicine. Let's not talk about whether Liu Mei can be trusted. Although she was sent by mother, she is just an outsider after all. Mother knows very little about her. Who knows if she added anything else to the medicine? I will go and make a new batch of medicine for you later."
"You, don't be so nervous."
When Gu Yuanniang heard this, she comforted Xu Qingshan.
Xu Qingshan didn't take it seriously. He looked at Gu Yuanniang and said, "How can I not be nervous? Now that you are well again and you were finally rescued by Madam Xu, I will never allow you to get hurt again."
Hearing Xu Qingshan say this, Gu Yuanniang remained silent. She felt as if she was surrounded by sweetness and nodded slowly to Xu Qingshan.
"Okay, you take a rest first. I'll make you some medicine. Drink it later and then have a good sleep."
Gu Yuanniang nodded and watched Xu Qingshan leave.
The affectionate scene between the two almost ignites the cold temperature in the house, but it is a pity that a figure in the corner of the window is peeping and greedily absorbing this bit of warmth.
Liu Mei stared at everything that happened in the room with her fingertips, and couldn't help but twisted into a ball, holding her hands tightly. The kindness on her face was gone, replaced by impatience and disgust. She stared at Gu Yuanniang with cold eyes, as if she wanted to kill her.
Gu Yuanniang stared with her back turned and shuddered. She looked out the window, but only saw an open window. She stepped forward and closed the window, then returned to bed.
As soon as Xu Qingshan arrived in the kitchen, he saw Xu Guo dozing off. Seeing Xu Qingshan coming, Xu Guo also stood up dazedly, looked at him and said, "Master Xu, why are you here? I have prepared the medicine for Sister Gu and was just about to bring it to her, but I felt a little sleepy for a moment and fell asleep."
After Xuguo finished speaking, he was about to pick up the medicine from the medicine stove, but he saw that there was only an empty pot.
Seeing this, Xuguo was still a little puzzled.
"Hey, what happened? I clearly put this medicine here just now, how come it disappeared all of a sudden?"
Xu Qingshan heard this but didn't say anything. Instead, he comforted Xuguo and said, "Okay, you've been tired all day. I'll take care of the rest. You go back and rest early."
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Master Xu."
As Xu Qingshan spoke, he walked out, mumbling, "I clearly remembered that the medicine was already boiled, how come it suddenly disappeared?"
After Xuguo left, Xu Qingshan sat back in his original seat and prepared a new dose of the medicine that Xu Miaomiao had prepared. It seemed that he really had to be on guard against this Liu Mei.
It’s a pity that Mrs. Zhang insisted that he keep Liu Mei, otherwise he would never dare to keep such a person at home. It seems that he needs to be more careful when dealing with Liu Mei in the future.
Don’t let his small negligence cause the whole family to lose their lives for no reason, Xu Qingshan thought secretly, and his originally bright eyes suddenly became dim in an instant.
