Chapter 681: Divine Physician Xie
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
She had always looked down on unruly things like concubines being promoted.
However, her heart ached for her granddaughter, who was still rather young. She was in charge of such a huge family, and she was worried that her granddaughter would get into trouble at ho, so she accepted Concubine Jiang into the residence. She planned to help Concubine Jiang get married once Madam Yang passes away.
Everything she did was for her granddaughter.
How could she not know that it was a little inappropriate for Linghuai to be too close to Yao Yao? As her grandmother, she should restrain Yao Yao a little.
However, her father couldn’t be relied on, and her younger brother couldn’t support the family. Her two sisters also had ulterior motives. Other than her grandmother, Yao Yao only had her cousin. How long could her grandmother accompany her?
How long could she protect her?
This was going to be her selfish motive as her grandmother. As long as Zhou Linghuai was willing to protect her granddaughter a little, she would turn a blind eye to so things.
Old Madam Yu held her granddaughter’s hand and chatted for a while more. After a while, she fell asleep again.
Yu Youyao left her grandmother’s room with red eyes.
At this mont, Xia Tao ran in. “Young Miss, Zhao Da has returned to report that Eldest Master is back. He even found a divine physician from Zhejiang to treat the Matriarch.’
Yu Youyao returned to her room to change her clothes and went to the Flower Gate.
Yu Jianjia also received the news and arrived late.
After Yu Zongzheng entered the city, he sent Zhao Da back first to report. Not long after, Yu Zongzheng entered the residence with a middle-aged man in his forties.
This person was carrying a first-aid kit. He should be the divine physician that Zhao Da had ntioned.
He was wearing a green-gray Daoist robe and had a Daoist bun on his head. He was tall and thin, and he had a goatee. He looked a little sage-like.
However, he had an eagle nose and gave off a dangerous and sinister feeling. He did not look like an easy person to get along with.
Yu Youyao did not have a good impression of this so-called divine physician. She vaguely felt that this person looked a little familiar, but she could not rember when she had seen him.
Yu Youyao hurriedly went forward to greet Yu Zongzheng. “Greetings, Father.”
Yu Jianjia followed closely behind. “Father, you’ve worked hard.”
Yu Zongzheng had done sothing for the Imperial Court and made a contribution. Even though he had been on the road for a long ti, he could not hide his high spirits. “How’s the family recently?”
Yu Youyao said gently, “Everything else is fine. It’s just that Grandmother is worried about Father’s work and could not eat or sleep in peace. She hasn’t been in good spirits recently.”
Yu Zongzheng had mixed feelings. He quickly said, “During this period of ti, it’s been hard on you to manage the family. I received a letter from you earlier and found out that Matriarch was sick, so I visited all the famous doctors.” At this point, he quickly looked at the divine physician beside him and introduced with a smile, “This is Divine Physician Xie. He’s a divine physician from the King of dicine Valley in Jianghu. His dical skills are very brilliant. With him around, Matriarch’s health will definitely recover.”
Divine Physician Xie! !
The blurry fragnts in her nightmare imdiately beca clear.
Yu Youyao finally rembered why she had felt a sense of repudiation from the bottom of her heart when she first saw Divine Physician Xie. She even felt that he looked a little familiar.
In her nightmare, he was the source of all Yao Yao’s tragedies.
This was because he had said that Yao Yao in her dream had taken the poison from the Xie family since she was young so her physique was very suitable for testing dicine. As such, Yao Yao was locked up in the small courtyard and given all kinds of expensive dicinal herbs and poisonous snakes and insects to test dicine for Yu Jianjia.
This was because he had said that using her heart to test dicine could lead to a cure for Yu Jianjia’s heart disease. Yao Yao ended up dying from having her heart gouged out.
At that mont, Yu Youyao felt dizzy. There was a dense pain in her chest, as if ten thousand ants were biting her heart. The tense strings in her mind snapped.
Yu Youyao felt the world spin, and her vision darkened…
“Yao Yao…”
“Big Sister…”
“Young Miss, soone, Young Miss has fainted…”
Yu Youyao did not faint for long, but her mind was in a daze. Her eyelids seed to be stuck to sothing, and she could not open them no matter how hard she tried.
Divine Physician Xie finished checking Yu Youyao’s pulse. “She’s been over exhausted and has too much worries. Since she also t her father out of the blue, she fainted because of the sudden fluctuation in her emotions. She’ll be fine after resting for a few days…”
Yu Zongzheng finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Xia Tao couldn’t help but cry. “Boohoo, ever since Master went to Zhejiang, Matriarch has fallen sick. Matriarch doesn’t allow Second Madam to co to the main house to attend to her illness. Third Miss’ body is also weak, so she’s worried that she’ll pass on her illness to Third Miss. Young Miss took charge of the family inside and out, moved into An Shou Hall and attended to Matriarch’s illness every day. In the past few months, she’s lost a few pounds. Master is finally back, so Young Miss can heave a sigh of relief…”
Nanny Liu wiped her tears and said, “After Matriarch fell sick, she couldn’t leave Eldest Miss’ side. No matter if it was day or night, every ti she woke up, she would shout that she wanted to see Eldest Miss. She had to do it dozens of tis a day. My heart aches when I see it…”
The two of them echoed each other, as if they were afraid that others wouldn’t know that Yu Youyao had worked hard recently.
Yu Jianjia glanced at her father and said in a hoarse voice, “It’s all my fault. Grandmother is sick and there are no elders in charge of the family. As her younger sister, my body is also weak, so I can’t help Eldest Sister share her burden…
Yu Zongzheng looked at his eldest daughter, who was lying on the bed with a pale face.
He did not interact much with his eldest daughter. In the past, he only felt that she had taken after the Matriarch and was a righteous, thorough, filial, and considerate person. He also valued his eldest daughter very much.
At this mont, he suddenly saw a young lady curled up under a thin blanket. She was thin, sick, haggard, and pale. It was rare for him to feel pity for her.
Ever since Madam Yang entered the Tranquil Heart Residence and his eldest daughter helped to manage the household, there were fewer troubleso matters at ho. He was also stable in the royal court and was promoted three tis in three years.
All of this was thanks to her eldest daughter.
At the thought of this, Yu Zongzheng said, “On my return to the capital this ti, I brought a lot of dicinal herbs, supplents and spices from Zhejiang. I’ll get Wen Zhu to prepare a set and send it over later.” At this point, he instructed Xia Tao, “Tell Eldest Miss to rest well. I’m here for everything at ho. I’ll bring Divine Physician Xie to visit Matriarch first.”
Xia Tao quickly agreed.
Yu Zongzheng did not delay and quickly brought Divine Physician Xie to Matriarch’s place.
Yu Jianjia glanced at Yu Youyao, who was lying on the bed. Her lips curled up slightly, and she looked like she was about to smile, but her eyes revealed a trace of wet emotions.
The room fell completely silent.
Yu Youyao was deep in a muddle-headed dream. She did not know if it was real or fake, let alone what day it was.
After an unknown period of ti, Yu Youyao slowly woke up.
Chun Xiao, who was guarding the bed, was imdiately excited. “Young Miss, you’re awake.”
Hearing the commotion, Dong i, Xia Tao, Qiu Xing, and Liu’er also entered the house.
Chun Xiao quickly helped Young Miss up and leaned against the pillow.
