Chapter 7 Strange
Seeing Ye Chutang coming back, the little kid immediately jumped off Shen Yanchuan, ran to Ye Chutang, and raised the hibiscus cake in his hand.
——Sister! Eat cakes!
Ye Chutang leaned over and wiped the crumbs from the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, then bowed to Shen Yanchuan again.
"I'm sorry, Xiaowu is ignorant and disturbed you."
Chen Yanchuan's eyebrows relaxed, he didn't seem to mind, and smiled faintly: "It's okay, she is very cute."
Ye Chutang picked up Xiaowu, looked around, and saw Ye Jingyan coming out of the pharmacy.
"Sister, you're back?"
After seeing Ye Chutang, Ye Jingyan finally felt relieved after a day's worry.
He also said that if they didn't come back, he would have to go to the yamen.
Ye Chutang saw that he was holding two white porcelain bottles and asked casually, "Is anyone here to buy medicine?"
Ye Jingyan nodded: "Aunt Yang's youngest child secretly went to the lake to play during the day and accidentally scratched his leg. Aunt Yang asked to come and get some medicine."
I see.
Aunt Yang has been taking good care of them over the years, so it's only right that she help with this little favor.
Ye Chutang asked one more question: "Is it serious?"
Ye Jingyan smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister. The child is not seriously injured. He just got a cut. Aunt Yang beat him too hard. His butt is bruised."
Ye Chutang: “…”
Okay.
It was a large wild lake, and many children liked to play there on weekdays. Accidents happened every year, so it was natural for Aunt Yang to get angry and take action out of fear.
but……
"How do you get two bottles?"
After all, he is her own child, so Aunt Yang should be more careful when she strikes him.
Ye Jingyan looked down at the two bottles of medicine in his hand, "Oh, this bottle is for Aunt Yang, and the other is for her cousin. She came to Aunt Yang's house today to deliver something, and happened to hear Aunt Yang say that the golden wound medicine in our clinic is particularly effective, so she asked for an extra bottle, saying that she cut her hand while cooking yesterday, and it just happened to be useful."
Ye Chutang narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Really?"
She had met Aunt Yang's cousin before. She was quick-tempered, straightforward and efficient.
It is not uncommon to injure your hands while cooking, but ordinary people would just grind some herbs and bandage the wound casually, and would not buy a bottle of medicine specifically for this purpose.
After all, this wound medicine is not cheap.
When Aunt Yang came to get medicine, Ye Chutang only charged a symbolic amount, but everyone else paid the full price.
The price of this bottle of medicine was equivalent to half a month's salary for her husband - coincidentally, her husband worked in the Cao family.
Ye Chutang's mind raced, but his expression remained calm. He handed Xiao Wu over and said, "I haven't had time to thank you for what happened during the day. Give me the things, and I'll go there myself."
Ye Jingyan naturally would not go against his elder sister's wishes, and immediately hugged the little baby.
Ye Chutang warned: "She has eaten too much lotus cake these past two days. You should keep an eye on her to prevent her from eating too much snacks and not being able to eat her meals later."
"good."
Ye Chutang then turned around and went to Aunt Yang's house next door.
…
"Doctor Ye is really busy all day." Inside the house, Lian Zhou watched his master finish drinking the medicine and couldn't help but mutter, "Not only does he worry about his brother, he also has to worry about such trivial things as whether the child eats cakes."
Chen Yanchuan was reading a letter. Hearing this, he didn't even raise his head, but just chuckled.
"Yes, you still have to be on guard against me and put in a little more effort."
Lian Zhou was stunned for a moment: "Master, why do you say that?"
Doctor Ye is on guard against his own master? How come he didn't see that?
Chen Yanchuan put down the letter in his hand, and his mind flashed back to the look in Ye Chutang's eyes when he saw the little girl in his arms when she came back.
Clear, sharp and elusive.
There was also a hint of hostility that was barely perceptible.
This seemingly gentle and kind Doctor Ye is not that easy to deal with...
Chen Yanchuan raised his hand, and his slender white fingers seemed to be coated with a very light glaze under the candlelight, as cold as jade.
The thin letter was quickly devoured by the fire, turning into a few pieces of residual ashes.
Lian Zhou frowned: "Master, in the capital..."
Chen Yanchuan said calmly: "No hurry."
Now that the news of his injury has been reported, all we have to do next is wait here patiently.
Lian Zhou bowed his head.
"yes!"
…
Ye Chutang knocked on the door of Aunt Yang's house.
Seeing that it was her, Aunt Yang was surprised and delighted: "Oh, Doctor Ye! How come you came here in person!"
Ye Chutang smiled and said, "I just came back with Afeng, and when Ayan mentioned that Ping'er was injured, I came to see her."
Aunt Yang said quickly: "He was just playing around! He deserves it! Why bother you?"
She has always respected Ye Chutang in her heart, thinking that it is not easy for her to support the whole family at such a young age. More importantly, she has excellent medical skills!
Three years ago, Ping'er had a high fever and fell into a coma in the middle of the night. Several doctors said that the child could not be saved. She hugged her child and cried, and happened to meet Ye Chutang who had just arrived in Jiangling.
It only took half the night for Ping'er's fever to go away, and three days later she was full of energy again.
From then on, Aunt Yang felt that none of the doctors in Jiangling could compare to Ye Chutang!
Aunt Yang welcomed Ye Chutang in and shouted into the house, "Xiao Yun! Doctor Ye is here!"
A woman in her twenties came out. She was Aunt Yang’s cousin, Zhou.
Seeing Ye Chutang, she was stunned for a moment: "Why, why is Doctor Ye here in person?"
Ye Chutang smiled faintly and said, "Ayan went to take care of Xiaowu. I heard that you also wanted this golden wound medicine. I thought you might be seriously injured, so I came to see you."
Aunt Yang slapped her thigh and said, "This is so rare! Xiaoyun, Doctor Ye doesn't usually see everyone! Hurry up and let Doctor Ye take a look!"
Zhou hid her hands behind her back, her smile a little forced.
"I, I just have a minor injury. It's nothing serious. There's no need to trouble Doctor Ye, right?"
Aunt Yang glared at her and said, "What's going on? Doctor Ye offered to help with the consultation, why did you refuse?!"
Ye Chutang didn't seem to care and just smiled faintly, "It's okay, as long as the person is fine."
She said, handing over one of the bottles of medicine.
Zhou reached out to take it.
Ye Chutang saw that her left index finger was roughly wrapped with a cloth strip and couldn't tell what it was.
"Apply it once in the morning and evening, and remember to change the medicine." Ye Chutang reminded.
Zhou nodded repeatedly, keeping her eyes down and not looking directly at Ye Chutang, as if she was about to leave after taking the medicine.
Ye Chutang suddenly stopped and said, "Oh, I forgot to ask, how is your Liu Si?"
Zhou was startled.
Clang——!
The bottle of medicine fell to the ground.
She looked up nervously, with panic in her eyes: "W-what?"
Ye Chutang looked at her, his lips slightly curved, and said word by word:
"There's something fishy about Cao Chengwu's death. The government has detained all the members of the Cao family and is preparing to interrogate them one by one. Don't you know?"
