Chapter 27 Chu Xinrou invites a miracle doctor
"Did her eyelids move just now?"
"Really? Really? Second brother, please move away and let me see!"
"Why are you crowding? Stand further away. The doctor said she needs fresh air. How can she breathe if you're so close to her?"
"You are obviously the closest to me, second brother—"
Shen Shuwei felt like a pancake that had been put on the griddle and baked over and over again, and was now being scooped out with a spatula and placed on a basin to cool, with all its internal organs steamed.
Her eyelids felt like they were weighed down by a heavy stone. She struggled for a long time before slowly opening her eyes with a few screams.
The glaring light made her blink and shed natural tears.
The next moment, a hand lightly covered her eyes to block out the glaring sunlight, and then a bowl of cool food was brought to her lips.
Chen Shuwei opened his mouth and swallowed. The sweet water flowed through his dry and painful throat, moistening his burning internal organs.
"Cough, cough!" Because he drank too quickly, Chen Shuwei choked and kept coughing, which scared the people beside the bed. Some patted his back, and some took the bowl.
After recovering from his shock, Shen Shuwei took down his hand that was blocking his sight, looked at Shen Zhiyang's swollen eyes, and curled his lips, "Ayang, your eyes are red from crying."
Shen Zhiyang burst into tears. If Shen Zhang hadn't stopped her, she would have rushed over and hugged Shen Shuwei and cried.
Shen Shuwei moved his fingers slightly, coughed and wiped Shen Zhiyang's tears, then turned his head to look at Shen Zhang who was standing beside the bed, "How long have I slept? Where's Qingdai?"
She was still thinking about Qingdai, who had gotten separated from her in the building.
Shen Zhang's lips were pressed together, and God knows how he felt when he saw Shen Shuwei being carried back in such a mess. He thought that when this ignorant sister woke up, he, as a brother, would definitely teach her a lesson. Not only would he not give her a slap on the hand, but he would also scold her a few times so that she would remember the lesson.
But now Shen Shuwei had woken up and weakly asked herself where her maid was. Shen Zhang felt a sharp pain in his chest and could not utter a word of blame. He tried to make his tone sound cold.
"Not long after Jing Yin carried you back, your maid was also sent back. She woke up a day earlier than you and is resting in her room now."
Did Jing Yin carry her back?
Chen Shuwei opened her mouth in surprise. The person she saw before she passed out in Yunxiu Tower was not an illusion. Was that really Jing Yin?
Didn’t Jing Yin go to buy honey water? How did he appear in Yunxiu Tower? And how did he get in when the fire was so big?
Chen Shuwei was full of questions. Seeing her frown, Chen Zhang bent down to tuck the quilt in for her, then reached out to smooth out the wrinkles between her brows and scolded her, "What are you thinking about? Close your eyes and have a good sleep."
Shen Shuwei suddenly thought of something and raised his hand to grab Shen Zhang's hand, "Second brother, has a girl named Yan'er come to visit during the few days I was unconscious?"
It would have been fine if she hadn't said anything, but Chen Zhang got angry the moment she did. He pushed Chen Shuwei's hand away with a cold face and stuffed her hand back under the quilt. "Your maid told me everything when she woke up. How dare you two go to Yunxiu Tower just for a girl like this?"
"Chen Shuwei, if you dare to go to that kind of shady place without telling me and my brother again, I will break your legs, do you believe it?" This was the first time that Shen Zhang called her by her full name.
When Shen Shuwei heard his second brother even say something like breaking his legs, he knew he was very angry.
After all, even when he was angry before, he just said he would ignore me for a day.
Shen Zhiyang leaned forward, resting his chin on Shen Shuwei's pillow. His almond-shaped eyes sparkled after crying, "Third sister, did you go to the brothel because you like girls? Is that Yan'er pretty? Is she your sweetheart, Third sister?"
Shen Shu choked slightly, then immediately turned his face away and started coughing violently.
Chen Zhiyang continued to ask, "What is this called grinding? What is it called grinding a mirror?"
Shen Zhang, with a dark face, grabbed Shen Zhiyang's collar and pulled him away, patting Shen Shuwei's back to calm him down, "Don't talk nonsense."
Shen Zhiyang was dissatisfied, "Sister Qingdai told me that there was a girl in that building who seduced the third sister and tried to feed her wine mouth to mouth!"
Shameless! How dare he flirt with her third sister!
Shen Shuwei coughed even more violently.
At this time, Shen Heng walked in with a bowl of medicine.
Shen Shuwei sat up and drank a sip of medicine. Glancing at Shen Zhang's gloomy face, he asked again, "Has no one really come to visit you these days?"
Chen Zhang snorted and stuffed a candied fruit into her mouth. "No! What about Yan'er or Ying'er? The only one who came to visit these days was the doctor who saved your life."
Shen Shu frowned slightly, and his expression, which had just gotten better, turned gloomy, and his heart sank to the bottom.
Didn’t Yan’er escape from the fire?
Chen Heng noticed that her expression was different and asked, "Is that Miss Yan'er very important to Third Sister?"
"Or is it really as Ayang said, it's your Third Sister—"
Chen Heng's ears flushed red, and he didn't continue.
Chen Shuwei hurriedly clarified and told the whole story. He thought that if he explained it clearly, his elder brother and the others would look better.
Unexpectedly, they looked at each other and their expressions became even uglier.
The first to speak was Shen Heng. He hesitated for a moment and said, "If it is true as you said, Third Sister, that Miss Yan'er is the granddaughter of the miracle doctor, and if we save her, the miracle doctor will be able to cure the disease, then I have heard something."
"What's up?"
Chen Heng was silent for a while, "I told you, Third Sister, don't get angry."
Shen Shuwei became more and more puzzled.
"On the second day after you were brought back from Yunxiu Tower, the people from the Jingning Marquis's Mansion went to the outskirts of the capital with great fanfare to pick up this miraculous doctor and brought him to the mansion to treat the old lady of the Marquis's Mansion."
"It is said that Chu Xinrou found the long-lost granddaughter of the miracle doctor, and that is why she invited the miracle doctor."
In just two days, the story spread throughout the capital. Many people praised Chu Xinrou, the newly returned young lady, for her sincere and touching filial piety. In order to cure her grandmother's headache, she went to great lengths to find the miraculous doctor's long-missing granddaughter.
There were even some curious scholars who wrote operas and sang them in the opera theater. For a time, Chu Xinrou's reputation for filial piety spread far and wide, and even the palace heard of it.
Chen Shuwei could no longer sit still, so he threw back the quilt and prepared to get off the bed.
Regardless of whether this matter was true or false, she had to confirm it immediately. Whether Chu Xinrou designed to take Yan'er away, or she found someone to pretend to be the granddaughter of the miracle doctor, she had to find out the truth.
"What are you doing, girl? Are you torturing yourself just after you feel better?" Zhao Yun walked in from outside with a bowl of honey water in her hand, smiling.
He placed the honey water on the table, glanced at the candied fruit, and chuckled, "I thought the girl's mouth would feel bitter after drinking the medicine, so I specially made a bowl of honey water for her to relieve the bitterness."
"I didn't want to arrive at such an unfortunate time. The girl has already eaten the candied fruit."
When Shen Shuwei saw Zhao Yun, he wanted to ask him about what happened in Yunxiu Tower. However, Shen Zhang couldn't stand his roundabout way of speaking, so he snorted coldly, "You just happened to meet Third Sister outside Yunxiu Tower and carried her back. It wasn't like she saved your life, so stop being so sarcastic."
Zhao Yun lowered his head and stirred the honey water without saying a word.
Shen Shuwei was stunned and looked at Zhao Yun, "Wasn't it Jing Yin who saved me?"
Zhao Yun raised his head, his eyes curved, "No, I was just passing by to buy some honey water. I saw the fire at Yunxiu Tower and went to watch the excitement. I didn't expect to see the girl lying unconscious in the open space outside the Yunxiu Tower, so I carried her back."
After saying that, Zhao Yun paused and looked at Chen Zhang with a smile, "This can be considered as half a life-saving favor, right?"
Shen Zhang sneered and said nothing.
It was nothing. He hadn't forgotten that day when this kid collapsed at the gate of the mansion after carrying Shu Wei back. After waking up, he poured down ginseng, deer antlers, and other precious herbs into his mouth, just in case he was afraid that he would die, but he spat out blood and the medicine all over his face.
