"I rescued her as soon as she was thrown in, so she's fine, but she's a little dirty."
When Xie Yao saw Yu Jinxi's darkened expression, he immediately guessed what she was thinking and explained it clearly immediately.
Hearing this, Yu Jinxi looked at him blankly, and then immediately said, "Thank you very much."
"She was lost with me, and I should be held responsible."
Xie Yao was calm and calm, and did not panic at all when facing outsiders.
Seeing that he had been extraordinarily different since he was a child, Yu Jinxi couldn't help but sigh, no wonder he excelled at a young age and was granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister!
When Yu Jinxi saw that he was also injured, he said, "It's cold outside, come in and warm yourself up. The injuries on your face also need medicine."
"No, I have to hurry home."
After Xie Yao finished speaking, he did not leave immediately. He stared at Yu Jinxi and said, "Madam, I have a small request. I wonder if you can agree to it?"
"Tell me, if I can do it, I will definitely do it! But if it's beyond my ability, please forgive me."
Yu Jinxi did not say anything, and his attitude towards Xie Yao was not that of a child. He had the proper etiquette and the vigilance he needed to be on guard.
"I need some decoctions. My father is sick and the medicine at home is not getting better after taking several decoctions. I also found some medicine for him outside, but it still doesn't work."
Xie Yao said, "I'm afraid the recipe is wrong!"
Yu Jinxi looked at him with deep eyes, "If the medicine I give you cures your father, will you tell this?"
Xie Yao shook his head, "No, I will rot in my stomach."
Yu Jinxi wanted to take a gamble, not to mention that Qianqian had already taken root in Xie Yao's heart. Considering his uncompromising character in his previous life, she had a great chance of winning the bet.
"I do take some medicine, but I don't know if it can cure your father. Because the doctor has never seen your father, so he doesn't know if he has the kind of disease that is rumored outside. You can only treat it as a dead horse. medical."
Hearing Yu Jinxi's words, Xie Yao's eyes showed joy, but he did not show it, but said in a deep voice, "If you don't take the medicine, you will be waiting for death. If you take the medicine, there may be a glimmer of life. I am willing to take a gamble for him."
"Don't worry, no matter whether my father's condition is good or bad, I can't thank you enough."
Xie Yao respectfully thanked her, his expression extremely sincere.
Yu Jinxi said, "It's not safe outside now. You should go back as soon as possible after taking the medicine."
Xie Yao nodded and waited for Granny Qian to bring the medicine, then bowed and saluted before leaving.
Yu Jinxi ordered people to close the door, and then rushed to see Qian Qian.
When she went there, Yinniang was already there. She checked Qianqian's body and found that she did not suffer any external injuries, but she had lost a lot of weight and looked particularly distressing.
Yu Jinxi told Xie Yao's original words, and Yinniang felt better.
Yu Jinxi didn't stay with Qianqian for long before she was kicked away by Zhang's mother. Then the whole house was fumigated with medicine, which made Zhang's mother still a little worried.
…
After Xie Yao took the medicine back, he went directly to the backyard without even changing his clothes. He heated up the soup and sent the medicine to his father.
As soon as he walked outside the house, he heard a rapid cough inside, and the sound was weak. In just a few days, his father, who was in his prime, became extremely old.
He pushed the door open and went in. There were two women surrounding the bed, one on the left and one on the right. They were supporting a man together.
Xie Yao walked over with the medicine. One of the women was obviously more luxurious and said immediately, "Yaoer, the medicine I drank before has not been used. Your father... the situation seems to have become more serious."
Xie Yao said, "The previous medicine probably didn't work. Try a new medicine!"
"New medicine?"
The woman looked at the other woman, her face a little worried and confused.
Another woman asked again, "Yao'er, is this possible?"
"Whether it works or not depends on drinking it first. If you don't drink medicine, you won't be able to cure any disease."
Xie Yao asked them to lay the man down and give him medicine.
The two women stood behind him, unable to help at all, looking at a loss.
The man lying on the bed is named Xie Qi, and the two women are his wife Lu Peilan and his concubine Yueru, who is Xie Yao's biological mother.
Xie Yao is a concubine, but the wife of the wife has no airs in front of Xie Yao. She talks to him as if she is her own son, and she has no doubts about him.
This relationship actually stems from Xie Qi's childhood experience. He was the eldest son but did not receive the treatment of an eldest son. After his biological mother passed away, he was not only bullied by his stepmother, but also by some favored concubines.
He had suffered like that, so he was extremely cautious when marrying a wife, and the same was true for concubines. Beauty came second, but he must be kind-hearted and generous to others.
Although Xie Yao was the eldest son of the concubine, he was named under the royal wife's knees after he was born. Xie Yao was raised by the main wife and concubines, not only him, but also other children.
They are all blood brothers and sisters, so there is no distinction between closeness and distance.
They live in harmony in the backyard, which is why Xie Qi dares to move out of Xie's house.
He was confident that he could teach different children and completely cut off ties with people like Xie Fu.
After a bowl of medicine, Xie Qi fell asleep within a short while.
Lu Peilan and Yueru looked at each other, with worry and a glimmer of hope in their eyes.
After all, Xie Qi had not slept well for many days. It would be great if he could sleep longer and have a good rest.
"I'll keep watch here, dad. Mom and aunt should go and rest. Don't stay up any longer."
Ever since Xie Qi fell ill, Lu Peilan and Yueru had been keeping watch and had never touched the bed. He knew how tired they were.
"Yao'er, you've been out for the past two days, so you should go and rest. It doesn't matter to me."
Lu Peilan looked at him with a worried look on her face, "Your aunt and I are totally helpless, relying on you and a child to support us. If you are really exhausted, your aunt and I really don't know what to do?"
"It's okay, I'll sleep next to dad for a while, and you'll come back tonight."
Seeing Xie Yao's firm attitude, Yueru didn't insist anymore, so she pulled Lu Peilan away.
They knew Xie Yao's character very well, and whatever he said was what he said, even in front of Xie Qi.
Instead of wasting time there, just do what he said.
After the door was closed, Xie Yao sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Xie Qi's face quietly, with a stern look in his eyes.
It was not an accident that his father was seriously ill this time, but someone deliberately caused trouble.
The Duke of Yue's Mansion was rotten to the core. They were not satisfied with hiding from the Duke of Yue's Mansion, and wanted to kill them everywhere. In this case, he would never be lenient.
In the past, Xie Qi advised him to learn to be patient when he was young, but now that the evil spirits have harmed Xie Qi, he must not tolerate it.
Being young is no excuse. If you can succeed with one strike, there is no need to endure it.
Now that the trend is booming, it's time for the Duke of Yue to take the lead.
