Chapter 611: Chapter 610: If You’re Sick, You Need Treatnt
Purple Jade watched Zhou Xiuer’s affected behavior with a cold eye, thinking no wonder the young lady hadn’t co over, it was boring just to watch.
It was also strange, despite being cousins, how could their natures be so clearly divided? It just proved the saying that the sa rice breeds a hundred different kinds of people.
Jadeite soon ca over, carrying her small dicine box.
“Jadeite, co and take a look at Xiuer quickly,” Madam Zhou stopped Jadeite from bowing and asked her to co forward.
“Yes, Madam.” Jadeite crisply stepped forward.
Seeing this, Zhou Xiuer’s tears welled up, but she dared not say anything, for now to say that she needed no treatnt would probably make her aunt think her ungrateful.
Jadeite extended two fingers to press on Zhou Xiuer’s pulse and glanced at her flushed face before quickly retracting her hand.
“Chill has invaded the body, a wind-cold from exposure to cold air,” Jadeite inford Madam Zhou.
Zhou Xiuer suddenly felt her face burning hot, unsure whether it was from the fever or from embarrassnt caused by Jadeite’s words.
Madam Zhou, not overthinking, asked, “Then what should we do?”
“Taking a few doses of dicine will do. However, Madam, after all, I am not a formal doctor, and we would still need a doctor to diagnose her properly,” Jadeite said with a coquettish smile.
In truth, she was being modest; though not a formal doctor, she had studied dicine, poison techniques, and martial arts intensively from a young age, and her dical skills were more exquisite than those of an average doctor.
But by saying so, Jadeite was rely not wanting to make her assertion too strong, leaving herself an escape in case Zhou Xiuer later had issues that could be blad on her.
“It’s late, and also during the New Year period, I don’t know if the doctors from Qianyi Hall will even co. Jadeite, is there any way to bring down her fever?” Madam Zhou urged.
Jadeite hesitated for a mont, then said, “If we do not call for a doctor, I have a few pills that could temporarily reduce the fever, or else, I could administer a few acupuncture needles.”
“Then quickly, apply the needles,” Madam Zhou said.
Zhou Xiuer coughed violently a few tis, her voice even hoarser than before, and said, “Auntie, Miss Fei Cui must be a useful person by my cousin’s side, her dicine must be good too. It should not be wasted on your niece, I’ll be fine after a sleep.”
She was in such discomfort, her head spinning, and she was only bearing it for her own sake, but now it felt like everything was appearing double to her.
“Cousin, that’s not right, if you’re sick, you need treatnt. As descendants of the sa lineage, our lady would not stand idly by and watch you suffer. Moreover, the young lady has instructed that you be sent off early tomorrow morning; if your illness is not addressed, if there’s a delay on the road, and it worsens, that’s secondary. But I’m afraid cousin will also bla our young lady,” Purple Jade said with a smile, trying to persuade her.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiuer stiffened all over and narrowed her eyes at Madam Zhou: “Auntie…”
The damned Wufu, heartless girl.
“Purple Jade is right, we cannot delay it. If the fever is severe, it can cause brain damage,” Madam Zhou said seriously.
Her straightforward words made Purple Jade and the others lower their heads slightly, the corners of their mouths twitching subtly.
As for Zhou Xiuer, it was as if she had the desire to cough up blood, wishing she could leap up, but her body was too weak, leaving her only able to look at Madam Zhou plaintively.
Unable to resist, and indeed having no ability to do so, Zhou Xiuer could only let Jadeite apply the needles. The sharp, icy tips of the needles hit the acupoints, causing her so much pain that tears stread down her face, and she wished she could faint.
By the ti the needles were removed, Zhou Xiuer was drenched in sweat, her body aching, her head dizzy, regretting her ploy to feign illness.
Had she known it would end like this, why did she ever begin?
