Chapter 401: Chapter 401 Let Him Succeed Chapter 401: Chapter 401 Let Him Succeed After much thought,
Su Yunjin felt that she still needed to go to the market to buy a birthday gift for Lord Gu Chengxiang. As for what to buy? After pondering, she decided to purchase fabric.
She would buy a whole bolt of cloth to give to her father-in-law.
Mrs. An was skilled in sewing; a whole bolt of cloth would be quite appropriate for her father-in-law, suitable for making clothes or robes, and the leftover scraps could also be used to make shoes.
Having decided to give a bolt of cloth to Lord Gu Chengxiang,
Yunjin told Gu Ya about her plan, “Husband, for father’s birthday, I want to give him a bolt of cloth, what do you think of this idea?”
As a man, Gu Ya was clueless about what to give for a birthday gift—such trivial matters were beyond him. When his little wife suggested giving fabric, he also thought it was a good idea.
“Yunjin, when do you plan to go to the market to buy it? Shall I accompany you?”
This market trip was to buy a birthday gift for Gu Ya’s father, so it was only right for Gu Ya to accompany her. Yunjin happily agreed to his request.
“Husband, I have decided to go to the market tomorrow; we will go together.”
Before Yunjin and Gu Ya, as a couple, had even gone to the market, early the next morning, Mrs. An hurriedly ca to Yunjin and Gu Ya’s room, explaining that Lord Gu Chengxiang had applied so dicine to his body and was feeling uncomfortable all over, with so areas even developing red rashes.
Upon hearing about Lord Gu Chengxiang’s condition,
Without delay, Yunjin and Gu Ya imdiately went to Lord Gu Chengxiang’s room. “Mother, do not panic, I will go with you right now to check on father!”
The dicine Yunjin had prescribed for Lord Gu Chengxiang was supposed to help his wounds heal and typically wouldn’t cause such a reaction.
It seed strange.
Yunjin inwardly speculated that there must be so other problem.
Following Mrs. An to Lord Gu Chengxiang’s room, he felt terribly uncomfortable as his whole body was wracked with sharp pains.
“Daughter-in-law, you’re here? Quickly, tell what is wrong with !”
Lord Gu Chengxiang looked at Yunjin eagerly, waiting for her to examine his illness.
Since Lord Gu Chengxiang’s waist was covered with the dicine, and it would be inappropriate for Yunjin to examine him there, she instead checked the area around his knee where the dicine had been applied.
After examining it, Yunjin sniffed the scent of the dicine, and upon slling it, she thought she detected a musty odor.
“Mother, when was the dicine you applied to father prepared?”
Yunjin suspected that the reason for Lord Gu Chengxiang’s condition might be due to Mrs. An applying moldy dicine on him.
Indeed, Mrs. An said, “Yunjin, this is the dicinal mud I prepared a few days ago. I used so then, and there was so left over which I didn’t use. I forgot about the leftover portion, felt it would be wasteful to discard it, and when I found it today, I used it on your father.”
As she spoke, Mrs. An asked Yunjin, “Daughter-in-law, what’s wrong? Could there be a problem with the dicine I used?”
Yunjin nodded, “Mother, it seems that the problem is indeed with this dicine.”
Mrs. An was puzzled.
“Yunjin, how could the dicine be problematic? I’ve always applied this to your father in the sa way. Could you be mistaken?”
“There’s no mistake.” After wiping her hands with a cloth, Yunjin explained to Mrs. An, “Mother, there is nothing wrong with the dicine you used. However, because you left it out for too long and it beca moldy, the moldy dicinal mud caused these symptoms on father’s body.”
