Before Wen Ye could lift the curtain to see if it was the same person as in her dream, the person who spoke had already lifted the curtain before her.
Wen Ye, with a sweaty and weak face, tried hard to pretend to be energetic and shouted with a smile: "Why is sister-in-law here?"
Mrs. Lu was no longer as gentle as before, and she kept frowning and said, "If I don't come again, your place will soon become an ice cellar."
When Lu gets angry, she and Xu Yuejia are just like siblings. Wen Ye lowers her head with a guilty conscience, muttering, "Not really."
"Not yet?" Mrs. Lu sat on the edge of the bed and said angrily, "Look at you sweating profusely."
I reached out to touch her forehead, but found her scalp was cold.
Wen Ye imitated Xu Yuxuan's pitiful look and tried to arouse Lu's sympathy: "Sister-in-law~"
Mrs. Lu was indeed distressed, so she said, "I have already told the maids and servants in your yard not to put ice basins in the house for the next few days."
Wen Ye: “!!!”
It was a bolt from the blue.
She quickly stopped him, "It's so hot."
Lu said, "Don't worry, I will assign you a few more maids to fan you during the day."
"If my second brother hadn't come to the main courtyard this morning to tell me, did you want to keep it a secret from me? I didn't know that you had been drinking iced drinks every day these past few days. Watermelon is cold in nature, but you used it to make iced drinks and drank several glasses in one meal. You are really going to kill yourself."
Xu Yuejia is a snitch.
Wen Ye looked behind Lu and was about to say something, but Lu interrupted her and said, "Don't look for it. Your two maids have promised me that they will strictly supervise you when I'm not around."
These two little traitors.
Wen Ye was "scolded" like a little bird that was drenched by a rainstorm. She felt like she had another mother.
Before Lu finished her words, "The doctor will be here soon. Abdominal pain is not a small matter. You must take some medicine."
"Drink medicine?!" Wen Ye's voice suddenly rose, and after slowing down, he said in a negotiating tone, "Sister-in-law, I don't need ice, can I not drink the medicine?"
Bitter Chinese medicine, like bitter gourd, is her lifelong enemy.
"No." Mrs. Lu refused bluntly, "As long as I am your sister-in-law, I can control you."
Wen Ye felt devastated.
After a while, the doctor came and felt Wen Ye's pulse through the gauze curtain, and listed seven or eight symptoms of his condition in a discontinuous manner.
Wen Ye suspected that he had been bribed by Lu in advance. How could she have so many problems?
Even her previous habit of staying up late counts as one of them.
After listening to the doctor's long story, Mrs. Lu frowned even more tightly. She asked Nanny Xian to take the doctor out first and get the prescription to get the medicine.
Wen Ye lay back on the bed, looking at the ceiling, and suddenly felt that life was hopeless.
Mrs. Lu did not leave, but continued to sit beside the bed. Taozhi brought in a basin of warm water, and she personally used a handkerchief to wipe Wen Ye's face.
He also said, "The daily diet of the West Courtyard must also be changed. The doctor said that in the next few days, we are not allowed to eat too much, too much or too little."
Wen Ye is already numb. Let her learn from Xu Yuejia?
Then what fun is there in this day?
Mrs. Lu was originally very angry, but now seeing her pitiful appearance, she could not help but soften her voice and said, "Just bear with it for a few days, it will be fine when the weather cools down."
Wen Ye looked at her in disbelief. It wasn't just a matter of enduring for a few days. It was still a long way from autumn and winter.
Lu said again: "For lunch today, I will bring Jinglin and Xuan'er to accompany you."
Wen Ye raised her eyes, looking expectant: "What about breakfast?"
Mrs. Lu: "Plain porridge. I asked the kitchen to add some stir-fried choy sum for you."
Wen Ye: “…”
Very good, even pickled cucumbers, pickled beans, and pickled radishes are not allowed to be eaten.
Before she finished her moment of silence, Lu said, "After you finish your porridge, remember to take the medicine in half an hour."
Xu Yuxuan came running over, holding onto the edge of the bed, his eyebrows knitted together, and whispered, "The medicine tastes bitter."
Wen Ye asked lazily, "Then Xuan'er will help mother drink?"
Xu Yuxuan immediately took a half step back, turned around and ran away with such a smooth movement.
Wen Ye: “…”
With Lu around, Wen Ye was very well behaved and didn't dare to act rashly. He had porridge for breakfast and lunch.
While others eat meat, she drinks porridge.
After finally sending Lu away, Wen Ye wanted to steal a bite, but Taozhi quickly took the meat away and asked the maid to leave.
Wen Ye pretended to be angry and said, "Taozhi, I am the one who pays your monthly allowance."
As a maid, she cares most about money.
But it didn't work this time.
Although Taozhi usually likes to play with Wen Ye, she was caught off guard by Wen Ye's illness and abdominal pain this time. Taozhi reflected on it for the whole morning and felt that she was partly responsible for her wife's illness.
So she said, "Madam, you can deduct it if you want. Anyway, you can't eat this braised pork. The doctor said that you must eat a light diet for a few days."
Yunzhi, needless to say, took away all the remaining dishes and only left a dish of vegetable and egg soup.
It's still boiling hot.
Wen Ye: “…”
An hour later, Lu came over to take a look. Seeing that Wen Ye looked gloomy but still dissatisfied, she felt relieved immediately. Before leaving, she gave the servants in the west courtyard some instructions.
After drinking two bowls of porridge, Wen Ye felt listless the whole day.
Two fans were pointed at her, but they brought cool air but could not drive away the stuffiness.
At dinner time, Wen Ye looked at the porridge and soup in front of him, not knowing which one to drink first, as they both seemed almost the same.
Xu Yuxuan sat beside her, his cheeks bulging with meatballs.
After a while he asked, "Why doesn't mother eat?"
Wen Ye gently stirred the porridge in the bowl and replied: "Mother has no appetite."
Xu Yuxuan immediately put down the spoon and reached out to touch Wen Ye's forehead. I don't know if he learned this from Lu, but after touching her, he said with a serious expression:
"If you are sick, you can only get better by taking medicine."
Wen Ye sighed and raised her eyes: "But Xuan'er doesn't help mother drink."
Xu Yuxuan glanced at the dark medicinal soup and shook his head: "It's very bitter."
Wen Ye continued to feel sad: "Xuan'er doesn't love his mother anymore."
Xu Yuxuan said in a childish voice: "Xuan'er is in pain. It was my aunt who said that mother must drink the medicine herself so that the disease can be cured."
Wen Ye asked back: "Who was the person who slipped away so fast this morning?"
Xu Yuxuan lowered his head in guilt and continued to eat the meatballs. After a long time, he raised his head and said, "It's my father!"
The teacher said that when you are in doubt, you should go to your father.
Wen Ye fixed his eyes on Xu Yuejia and asked, "My dear, do you have anything to say?"
Xu Yuejia put down her chopsticks, raised her eyes, looked at her and said, "The medicine is almost cold."
Wen Ye: “…”
What a cold-hearted and heartless complainer.
But Xu Yuxuan even imitated her: "It's getting colder!"
The two, one big and one small, stared at him intently. Wen Ye had no way of hiding away and could only drink the whole bowl of medicine.
The process was extremely painful.
"Is that okay?" she said, putting down the bowl.
Xu Yuejia produced a small bag of preserved candies from nowhere and said, "Eat one and squeeze it."
When Xu Yuxuan saw his mother eating candied fruit, he immediately looked at his father and said, "Xuan'er doesn't have any yet."
Xu Yuejia turned her eyes to him and asked, "Do you want to take medicine too?"
Xu Yuxuan shook his head: "No."
Xu Yuejia: "You can only enjoy candied fruit if you take medicine."
Xu Yuxuan still looked at me eagerly, but he said, "Then Xuan'er won't eat anymore."
Wen Ye ate the preserved candy and thought, what Xu Yuejia bought is quite sweet.
The medicine prescribed by the doctor can help me sleep, but after washing up and lying on the bed, I was too hot to fall asleep.
She waved a silk fan for just over a quarter of an hour and sighed countless times.
Xu Yuejia is staying overnight tonight.
She really wanted to drive him away. The bed was so small, and if Xu Yuejia wanted to sleep on it, it would be like putting a stove next to her.
Wen Ye waited for a long time, but Xu Yuejia didn't come. She suddenly felt sleepy and fell asleep without realizing it.
The next day, when Wen Ye woke up, his side was empty.
She sat up and touched her forehead, then realized that she was not woken up by the heat during the night.
After drinking the soup for seven or eight days in a row, Wen Ye felt like he was almost turning into a Chinese medicine.
Finally, I don’t have to drink today. I have braised pork for lunch. Although it tastes a bit sweet, it is already a rich meal for Wen Ye, who has only eaten stir-fried pork slices in recent days.
After waking up from a nap, the kitchen had made some sweet soup. Wen Ye thought it tasted good, but she would like it even more if it was chilled.
Xu Yuxuan also drank a small bowl of it slowly with a small spoon. After finishing it, he said, "Mother, Xuan'er has gone to class."
From now on, Xu Yuxuan will also go to class every afternoon.
Starting from the afternoon, the first half hour.
After the child found out, he was depressed for a while.
Wen Ye held the bowl and said casually, "Go ahead."
Xu Yuxuan sighed silently like a little adult, picked up his small school bag, and walked out with heavy steps.
Wen Ye, who had just finished drinking the sweet soup, began to look forward to dinner.
When Xu Yuxuan arrived at the class, Xu Baili had just gotten up.
As people get older, they sleep less at night and feel sleepy during the day.
After Xu Baili refreshed himself with cold water, he glanced at the students sitting obediently not far away and asked, "How did you offend your father? We agreed to give you the extra class after the New Year, why did you do it earlier?"
Xu Yuejia sent someone to inform him directly, leaving Xu Baili no chance to even ask.
Xu Yuxuan shook his head, also distressed: "Xuan'er doesn't know."
Xu Baili really couldn't understand it. He even thought that maybe Xu Yuejia didn't want to take care of her son, so she added this class.
Later he thought it was not right. The Duke's Mansion had no shortage of servants, so there was no need for him to lead them personally.
Besides, Xu Yuejia wouldn't be so heartbroken as to leave the child to such an enlightenment teacher as him because she didn't want to take care of the child.
Xu Baili, who still couldn't figure it out, said to Xu Yuxuan, "Go back and see your father today, ask him."
In Xu Yuxuan's heart, Xu Baili is still a good gentleman, and Xu Yuxuan is always willing to listen to him.
After school, Xu Yuxuan suddenly stopped on a side road on his way back to the West Courtyard.
Nanny Ji thought he was tired from walking and was about to bend down to hug him.
Xu Yuxuan dodged and said, "Mammy, wait a moment."
Nanny Ji was puzzled: "Who is the young master waiting for?"
Xu Yuxuan replied: "Father."
Upon hearing this, Nanny Ji smiled and said, "Young Master, it's uncertain when the Master will return home. Why don't you take me back to the West Courtyard to wait?"
Xu Yuxuan shook his head, "No, right here."
Nanny Ji wanted to persuade him again, but Xu Yuxuan's eyes suddenly lit up and he shouted behind her, "Father!"
She turned around quickly, saw who it was, and bowed quickly.
Xu Yuejia approached and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Nanny Ji explained: "It was the young master who said he wanted to wait for his husband here."
Hearing this, Xu Yuejia looked down.
Xu Yuxuan remembered what his teacher had asked him to ask. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he caught a glimpse of Xu Yuejia holding an oil-paper bag in her hand.
So the question on my lips becomes: "Father, what is this?"
After he finished speaking, he stared at the oil paper bag.
Xu Yuejia silently put her hands behind her back, blocking his gaze and said, "Nothing."
Seeing his father hiding the delicious food from him, Xu Yuxuan hummed softly, "Xuan'er saw it all!"
