Chapter 143: 143: The second brother’s sneaky move (2)_1
On the way ho, she happened to see "Doctor" Xiao sitting in the courtyard, tending to a small earthenware pot, the soup inside boiling and steaming.
She sniffed with her small nose and asked, "Doctor Xiao? Are you decocting dicine? Is soone in the family down with a cold?"
"Miss Dong!"
Upon seeing Dong Huiying, "Doctor" Xiao imdiately smiled warmly.
"Miss Dong wasn’t here just now, Yue Ning ca down with a fever, and Yixuan called
over. I’ve checked on Yue Ning, and it might be because the weather has been fluctuating between hot and cold recently, he’s caught a chill, has a high fever, a stuffed nose, his voice is hoarse, and he’s coughing a bit."
Dong Huiying picked up a washcloth and wiped the sweat off her face, expressing her gratitude, "Thank you for your trouble, "Doctor" Xiao!"
Just then, Yixuan ca out of the kitchen with two small dishes, "You’re back?"
"Next ti, you guys can eat first, no need to wait for . I just ran a few laps outside, worked up a bit of sweat, but it felt quite good, sweating helps to detoxify."
Yixuan only half-understood.
After placing the two small dishes on the table, he invited "Doctor" Xiao to stay and have breakfast together. "Doctor" Xiao was reserved, but looking at the delicious dishes, he found himself unable to move.
"How could I impose like this?"
Yue Ning, dressed in black, looking like an Asura, stepped over the threshold with a dark expression. "If you’re going to leave, then leave quickly; your eyes are practically glued to the dishes!"
He issued the eviction order in a hoarse voice, with a scratchy sound.
"Doctor" Xiao was embarrassed.
Yixuan did not approve, frowning slightly.
Was it because of the illness? Fifth Brother seed very peculiar today, even more irritable than usual. No one had provoked him, yet his explosive temper had gone off on its own.
Yue Ning glanced at Dong Huiying again, his nose dripping. He wiped it and, with a grunt, turned away expressionlessly.
"Fifth Brother, haven’t you eaten yet?"
"Not eating!"
He was so full of anger, how could he have an appetite.
Yue Ning stord out of the house sullenly. Shu Yu, wearing a coat, saw this and said leisurely with a smile, "It’s fine, let him be."
"But..." Yixuan looked from one person to the other, finally sighing softly.
In the past, Xiao Qingyao was the only "Doctor" in the ten-mile radius. Whenever the villagers had as much as a headache or fever, they would go to her, and since Shu Yu was often sick at ho, bedridden for years, Xiao Qingyao frequently helped Liang Shuyu with dical care. Over ti, the two families grew closer and had a very good relationship.
"Well, I should get going then."
Rembering Yue Ning’s dark face, he didn’t feel like staying any longer. Forcing his eyes away from the dishes, he looked quite reluctant to leave.
Dong Huiying was a little disheartened, "It’s alright, stay, let’s eat together."
A person ca with good intentions to treat Liang Yuening, it wasn’t right to send him away on an empty stomach.
"This..."
Just then, Shu Yu spoke up, "Qing Yao, don’t mind him, Yue Ning has the temperant of a child, don’t take it to heart."
Ultimately, under the persistent hospitality of the Liang family, Xiao Qingyao did stay in the end.
By the riverbank, Liang Yuening picked up a few small stones and skilfully skipped them across the surface of the water.
His mood was very foul.
Looking up at the rising sun, he rembered last night’s moon, and slapped his face with a palm.
"Sure enough, sick!"
With a grunt, a rumble ca from his stomach.
He touched his stomach and trudged ho, and by the ti he returned, everyone had finished eating, and Xiao Qingyao had been sent back by Yixuan.
Spotting Dong Huiying hanging herbs to dry, he strode with a sulky face into the kitchen.
