299: Chapter 211 Truly Sick_2 299: Chapter 211 Truly Sick_2 “Auntie, this is for you.” Chuxia stuffed the dicine into her aunt’s hand, then stepped forward, took Luo Xiaoqiong and Luan Xiaoxiang by the hand, and they left the building.
At lunchti, Wang ifeng didn’t co downstairs.
Zhao Yuying explained to everyone that she had caught a cold, had no appetite, and was currently sweating it out under the blankets.
Sweating it out…
Not only Chuxia, Luo Xiaoqiong, and Luan Xiaoxiang, but even Zhou Mikang, who usually lacked facial expressions, couldn’t help but twitch the corners of her mouth in amusent.
Zhao Yulan and the others didn’t know the actual situation and thought Wang ifeng really had a fever.
They asked with concern a few tis and, after Zhao Yuying reassured them several tis that it wasn’t anything serious, they started to eat in peace.
Halfway through the al, a charming female soldier carrying a dicine box walked in.
Seeing her, Old Master Zhou greeted her with a warm smile, “Xiao Song, you arrived pretty fast.”
“Grandpa Zhou, when you call, how could I not hurry over?” The female soldier, known as Xiao Song, ca to Old Master Zhou’s side with a smile on her face and politely nodded to everyone before turning back to Grandpa Zhou, “Grandpa, tell where the patient is, and I’ll go have a look myself.”
Old Master Zhou then looked toward Zhao Yuying, who had a stiff expression: “Xiao Zhao, take Xiao Song upstairs to have a look.
Don’t be fooled by her youth; her dical skills are solid.
All the old n and won around here rely on her.”
“Grandpa, you’re just flattering .
I just treat minor ailnts like headaches and fevers,” Xiao Song said as she stepped over to Zhao Yuying’s side, “Auntie, sorry to trouble you.”
“No trouble, no trouble…” At this point, Zhao Yuying couldn’t very well refuse, so she chanically walked upstairs, her mind in turmoil.
She had tried to persuade her daughter for a long ti upstairs, and as you might expect, it didn’t go well.
In fact, when had her daughter ever listened to her?
Her daughter harbored a lot of resentnt towards Chuxia.
If her feigned illness was exposed, and she said sothing inappropriate in front of others, embarrassing Chuxia, how could she face her younger sister?
Noticing that sothing was off with Zhao Yuying, Zhao Yulan hurriedly followed her, and Li Aiyuan hesitated for a mont before standing up.
Seeing this, Chuxia quickly held her back and whispered, “Eldest maternal aunt, please stay seated.
I’ll go up and check.”
After all, Grandma Chen, Fat Auntie, and Lin Baojuan were not relatives of Zhao’s house, and with the Zhao family leaving so abruptly, were they expected to follow or not?
Wang ifeng was just a junior in the family, and importantly, she was really just pretending to be sick.
To let Grandma Chen and the others see her like this would be a huge embarrassnt.
Li Aiyuan’s hesitation was exactly because of this.
Hearing Chuxia say so, she sat back down.
It was Chuxia’s house, after all, and her going up was obviously the most appropriate.
Wang ifeng originally wasn’t sick at all, but after brooding under the blankets and feeling infuriated, she now genuinely felt unwell all over.
Tossing and turning in bed, she couldn’t find a comfortable position, when she heard the door open.
Thinking it was her mother Zhao Yuying, and full of pent-up anger, she didn’t even look back as she started to scold, “Have you finished eating?
Haha…, you’re really my dear mother.
You rushed to eat while I’m suffering here.
Oh right, Mom, you must be really jealous of my aunt, too bad you don’t have that kind of fortune…”
Zhao Yuying hurriedly ca forward and turned her daughter to face the entrance, making her see Doctor Song and Zhao Yulan, saying, “I know you’re upset because Mom wasn’t with you when you’re sick.
Alright, you’re so grown up but still as immature as a child.
Old Master Zhou has arranged for a doctor for you.
Co on, get up and let Doctor Song have a look at you.”
Seeing Doctor Song and Zhao Yulan, Wang ifeng’s mind went blank.
Now, hearing her mother’s words, how could she not seize the opportunity?
She imdiately acted feeble, coughed lightly, weakly smiled at Zhao Yulan, “Auntie…” and then turned to Doctor Song, “Doctor, I just feel really weak and irritable.”
“Let’s take your temperature,” Doctor Song said with a smile as she handed the thermoter to her, and observed her complexion, “Have you been constipated these past few days?”
“Yes,” Wang ifeng nodded, “I just feel like there’s a constant bloating in my stomach, very uncomfortable.”
“Your liver fire is a bit too strong…”
Just as Chuxia entered, she couldn’t help but curl her lips.
It’s more like her jealousy’s too intense, right?
In front of others, Wang ifeng was still very reliable.
She was the kind of girl who was intolerant and narrow-minded with her family but paid great attention to her image in front of outsiders.
Thus, following that, none of the worries Zhao Yuying, Zhao Yulan, Li Aiyuan, and the others had ca to pass.
Perhaps she really was feverish from sweating too much and catching a draft, as Wang ifeng was indeed running a fever.
Her temperature wasn’t low—38.5℃.
Doctor Song prescribed so dicine, gave her an injection in the buttocks, and advised her to eat light als for a couple of days and not to overexert herself, then took her leave.
Chuxia smiled at her, “Let walk you out.”
“No need to be so courteous.
I’m very close to Grandpa Zhou.
When I was young, I used to often co over to his house for als…” Doctor Song smiled at Chuxia, “So you’re the third sister-in-law?”
Not quite used to the title, Chuxia smiled sowhat sheepishly, “Yes, that’s .”
“Congratulations!” Doctor Song extended her hand in a friendly gesture, “My grandparents attended your wedding.
They ca back singing praises of the third sister-in-law, saying that Third Brother waited and ended up with the best wife.”
“Thank you!”
“Actually, I’ve known about you for a while,” Doctor Song winked playfully at her, “I’m Song Yanqi.”
Chuxia looked her over, unsure, “Are you Director Song’s niece?”
“That’s right, my aunt said you’re a rare talent.
If you had started studying dicine as early as I did, she’d have probably sent off to the Himalayas,” Song Yanqi spoke softly with light laughter, creating a comfortable atmosphere.
Feeling her kindness, Chuxia also smiled sincerely, “Knowing that Director Song speaks so highly of , I can finally rest easy.
Honestly, I’ve always been worried she might ditch soday, not take with her anymore.” (To be continued.
