2425 There’s a problem with the medicine
Gu Xin giggled, ” Alright, alright. I know. I’m just joking. It’s time to sleep. Don’t let your thoughts run wild. After you’re done with your exams and Xiao Qiu’s matters are settled, you can slowly become Good Brothers with him!”....
Gu en could only nod.
The siblings went back to their respective rooms.
……
The next morning, Gu Xin followed him to the Ministry of Rites. She was a fast learner and only used two hours to learn everything that was listed out that day. Hence, she went back first.
He also had to concoct the medicine for Zheng Qiu’s brother.
The main reason was that she had never seen her brother’s leg before, so she didn’t know how it was.
If she had seen it, she would use the Jade bead. She wasn’t sure if the Jade bead would be effective in helping her brother stand up, but it would definitely be better than the current situation.
Zheng Qiu was also in contact with the elders of the Marquis of Yong ‘an’s residence. Then, he disguised himself as a manservant and went to the Marquis of Yong’ an’s residence.
Everything was going according to plan.
After being counseled by Gu Xin, Gu en was no longer insistent on looking for Zheng Qiu. Indeed, there would always be someone better than him. He also started to prepare for his exams.
Very quickly, two days passed. Zheng Qiu asked Gu Xin to meet him at an Inn to treat her brother.
Gu Xin went alone.
This was the first time she had seen Zheng Qiu’s brother. Zheng Qiu’s brother was already of age and had once married a wife. However, his wife had not been in good health and had passed away less than a year after they had married. The two of them had not even consummated their marriage.
Zheng Qiu’s brother was called Zheng Han. He sat in a wheelchair and looked weak. His face was pale and his lips were bloodless.
When he saw Gu Xin, he greeted her politely and said some polite words.
Gu Xin waved her hand, ” you don’t have to be like this, Mr. Zheng. I’m Xiao Qiu’s friend. I don’t care about these small things. Let’s start now!”
Gu Xin first took Zheng Han’s pulse. The more she felt his pulse, the more shocked she was.
It’s just a simple leg injury, it’s completely poison! The reason for her leg’s poor condition was probably due to the effects of the poison.
“Master Zheng, have you been taking your medicine?” she looked at Zheng Han.
Zheng Han nodded.
Xinxin, ” Zheng Qiu said worriedly, ” is there a problem with the medicine? ”
Gu Xin pondered for a moment before she replied,’that’s right, there’s a problem with the medicine. Young master Zheng’s pulse is weak and if he continues to take the usual medicine, then young master Zheng might not be able to live.”
Gu Xin gestured a ‘one’.
Zheng Qiu slammed the table in anger. even a vicious Tiger would not eat its own Cubs. Brother, your leg is injured. How could he let that woman harm you like this?!
Zheng Han’s eyes were calm, unlike Zheng Qiu’s anger.
All these years, he had already seen through the situation at home. The only thing he was worried about was his younger brother. He thought that his younger sister had gone to the same place as his mother.
If not for Zheng Qiu’s sudden appearance this year, he might have lost his will to live.
Zheng Qiu calmed himself down and asked Gu Xin, ” Xinxin, is there any way to recuperate my brother’s body? ”
Gu Xin nodded,’of course I have a way. But there’s a problem, how many of the people that young master Zheng serves at home can be trusted?”
“One,” Zheng Han replied. The courtyard is full of that woman’s men.”
Gu Xin pursed her lips. After some thought, she said, ” if you can be sure that you’re trustworthy, I’ll make some pills for you. In the future, try not to drink the medicine your family gives you. If you continue to drink it, your life will really be in danger. Of course, if it’s convenient, you’d better bring the dregs to me so that the medicine I make will be more effective.”
