Chapter 1484: Chapter 1484: Zhao Xi’s Diagnosis
Shu Yu was startled, and the whole family became tense.
By the time Shu Yu ran to the old lady’s courtyard, Lu Erbai, Madam Ruan, and others were already there.
Zhao Xi was the first person they had sought out, and he was currently preparing some medicine.
Shu Yu quickly ran to his side and asked, “How is she? Is it serious?”
Zhao Xi still appeared relatively relaxed, “It’s fine, just a slight fever. Taking two doses of medicine will do.”
“A fever?” Shu Yu frowned, could it be from catching a breeze last night? It shouldn’t be too much of an issue, though. When she arrived, the old lady was sitting inside, wearing plenty, with the window only slightly ajar, and the room was quite warm.
The old lady was awake at this moment, half-leaning against the pillow on the bed, looking weak but conscious.
She glanced around and helplessly said, “I told you it’s nothing, just a little disfort. Everyone falls ill at some point. Look at how worried you all are. Alright, go on with your own things, don’t stay around here.”
How could the Lu family not be worried? The old lady’s health had always been very good.
Not to mention, even when life was tough, during the times of exile, and the long treks, she never fell ill.
It’s been two years since Shu Yu returned, and this was the first time seeing the old lady lying weakly in bed, dismissively looking at the medicine brought to her.
Shu Yu initially wanted to feed her a spoonful at a time, but the old lady, impatient, drank it down directly.
There were many people in the room, and the air was stagnant, so Zhao Xi asked everyone to leave for the old lady to rest well.
Everyone then went outside, only Shu Yu stayed until the old lady fell asleep before ing out.
She asked worriedly again, “Is Grandmother really okay?”
“She’s fine,” Zhao Xi said, “She’s just had suppressed heat now released.”
“How could she have suppressed heat?” Lu Erbai asked worriedly.
Zhao Xi thought for a moment, and could only speculate, saying, “The old lady hasn’t been ill for a long time, right? In the past, perhaps due to the poor family conditions, she bore the responsibility and forced herself not to fall.”
That sense of responsibility just kept her going.
Later, when Shu Yu was found, she was happy, her mood positively affecting her physical state, naturally making her look radiant.
When Shu Yu was exiled, she was even more determined not to fall ill and cause trouble for others.
Once the Lu family’s life improved and stabilized, with people to attend to her, she probably felt that getting sick under such circumstances would be too pretentious.
Until she attended Old Mrs. Liu’s funeral yesterday, where some previously accumulated negative emotions suddenly erupted, leading to a low mood and built-up frustration, resulting in this illness.
According to Zhao Xi, it’s better for this suppressed heat to be released, otherwise, if it accumulated longer, it wouldn’t just be minor ailments; it would bee a life-threatening disaster.
Zhao Xi had seen such situations before.
Lu Erbai was taken aback at these words, and Madam Ruan said in a low voice, “Over the years, Mother has been like the backbone, truly holding up the family.”
Lu Erbai felt deeply ashamed and asked uncertainly, “Is it really fine once released?”
“Yes, actually I was worried yesterday when the old lady didn’t speak after returning,” Zhao Xi said, “I even talked with Ah You, asking her to spend more time chatting with her today, at least to get her to open up.”
Shu Yu said, “Last night, I came and talked with Grandmother for a long time.”
Zhao Xi turned his head in surprise, “Really? No wonder. What did you all talk about?”
