Doctor Liu was very quick; he wrote out a prescription for Qian Youxue in less than half an hour. He handed the prescription to Granny Yang and deliberately instructed her, "Go and get the medicine first. I'll observe her here for a while longer."
"Yes, yes, yes, this old servant will go right away." Granny Yang was quite respectful to Doctor Liu, and after taking the prescription, she nodded and bowed as she went out.
After Granny Yang left, Doctor Liu instructed Lianxin to fetch a basin of water. When only the two of them were left in the room, he slowly spoke: "Miss Hua asked me to convey her regards. Miss Qian, please don't worry. The medicine you took was a bit too strong, but you are fine now. You will be back to normal in three hours after taking this pill."
"Are you from the Hua family?" Qian Youxue excitedly tried to sit up, but Doctor Liu pressed her down.
Doctor Liu shook his head and said briefly, "Whether you take the medicine we brought back later is up to you. Our young lady said she will make sure you are alright."
Qian Youxue's eyes welled up with tears after hearing this. She never expected that a friend she had just met would become her lifeline at such a critical moment. She would never let this kindness go to waste.
"You shouldn't get too excited right now. The calmer you are, the better the medicine will work." Doctor Liu said as he put the medicine into Qian Youxue's mouth. Hearing footsteps approaching, he quickly put away the bottle containing the medicine.
It wasn't Lianxin who returned, but Granny Yang. She changed her mind halfway there, ordered Chunhua to get the medicine, and then sneakily ran back.
Upon entering, I saw Doctor Liu already sitting at the table drinking tea. I walked over with a grin, my eyes darting around. "There's a lot going on in the manor, so I sent someone else. They'll be back soon."
"Hmm!" Doctor Liu nodded without saying anything more.
After waiting for about half an hour, Chunhua returned with the medicine. Doctor Liu gave a casual explanation and left.
...
In the attic of the backyard of Heshan Pharmacy.
Hua Yujie paced anxiously. She had been in this state ever since Dr. Liu started his rounds. She hadn't drunk a drop of water or eaten anything, and her face was full of anxiety.
In the hall, Hua Duanli leisurely sipped her tea, holding a yellowed notebook in her hand. Occasionally, she would look up at her beloved niece, shake her head helplessly, and smile bitterly.
Hua Yujie pouted, snatched the book from her uncle's hand, put it on the table, and shook his arm coquettishly: "Uncle, how can you still laugh? She's been harmed like this, I wonder if her life is threatened?"
Hehehe...
Hua Duanli smiled helplessly and said, "Don't worry, Miss Qian isn't that fragile. Besides, you should trust Old Liu's character."
snort!
Hua Yujie twisted her body in dissatisfaction, completely losing her usual demeanor as a well-bred young lady, acting like a little girl who hadn't grown up.
However, apart from her family, no one had ever seen Miss Hua like this. If her father treated her well, her uncle treated her even better; she was closer to her uncle than to her father.
"Cui Ling, go outside and greet Doctor Liu. Look how anxious your young lady is!" Hua Duanli waved to Cui Ling.
Cuiling tactfully left to greet Doctor Liu.
Hua Yujie's large, shrewd eyes darted around as she asked in a low voice, "Uncle, do you perhaps know something?"
"Uncle doesn't know anything, only that the person who gave you those pills must be someone special. Don't worry, Miss Qian is very clever!" Hua Duanli didn't explain himself too clearly; there were some things he hadn't figured out yet. However, he was certain that the clever Qian Youxue had even fooled the old matriarch of the Qian family.
