Chapter 325: Chapter 323: Mother’s Old Illness_1

Translator: 549690339

Sun Yuwei and Su Qingluo had a deep friendship, as they had known each other since they were little girls and had formed a close bond.

There had always been business dealings between the Sun Family Brewery and the Su Clan, so Lady Sun would bring her daughter to visit the Su Clan whenever there were festivals or celebrations, bearing gifts in hand.

As friends and in principle, Su Qingluo could never ignore Lady Sun’s health.

After receiving a letter from Sun Yuwei last night, she decided to set out early this morning to visit Mingshui County.

“Your sister-in-law is weak and usually stays in bed late. She might still be in bed at this time.”

Su Qingluo arrived early, and Second Aunt Lin looked up at the dim sky and shook her head with a smile.

“Well, I have things to do today and need to go to Mingshui County. Since my mother hasn’t woken up yet, I won’t bother her. I’ll visit her again after I return from the county town tomorrow.”

Su Qingluo, who was concerned about Lady Sun’s illness, didn’t want to waste any more time and unconsciously stopped walking.

“Since you’re here, at least say hello before you go.”

Second Aunt Lin, putting herself in Qingluo’s shoes, kindly advised, “Even if your sister-in-law hasn’t woken up yet, she’ll feel more at ease if she sees you.”

“Second Aunt is right. I’ll go to see my mother before leaving.”

Su Qingluo obediently nodded and walked towards Ye Xue’e’s bedroom with a light step.

“Miss Qingluo, you’re here! Madam just woke up. Please wait in the living room while I help Madam get ready.”

Ying’er heard Su Qingluo’s voice outside and came out from behind the window curtain to welcome her.

“I won’t wait. I just want to say a few words to her and then go.”

Su Qingluo didn’t want to waste any more time and lifted the curtain to enter the room by herself.

“Qingluo, you’re here? Come in quickly. It’s raining outside. Why did you come so early in the morning?”

Just having woken up, Ye Xue’e’s thin face was sleepy. Hearing that Su Qingluo had arrived, she tried to sit up.

“Mother, did you not sleep well last night? Are you coughing again?”

Ye Xue’e had a chronic lung problem, which would worsen on rainy days due to the damp and stuffy weather.

Sitting by the bedside, Su Qingluo noticed the bluish hue under her mother’s eyes and grew worried.

“I’m fine, it’s just an old problem. I tend to cough whenever it’s rainy and cloudy.”

Ye Xue’e spoke and covered her chest as she coughed a few times.

“Mother, you need to exercise more as you have a weak body. I will take you to the mountains for a walk in a few days to breathe some fresh air.”

Su Qingluo took a Spirit Pill from the medicine bottle she carried with her, handed it to Ye Xue’e, and watched her swallow it with water before feeling relieved.

“I’ll be looking forward to it,” Ye Xue’e said after taking the medicine, her breathing becoming smoother and her eyes gentle and joyful.

“Mother, I won’t be able to accompany you today.”

Feeling guilty, Su Qingluo said, “I’m going to Mingshui County Town to treat a friend’s mother.”

“It’s all right, dear, you go ahead. The patient’s well-being is important.”

Ye Xue’e understood and smiled gently.

“I will be back as soon as possible.”

Su Qingluo’s eyes darkened as she bid farewell with a heavy heart.

“Take care on your journey, my dear. The roads can be treacherous in this rain, so don’t hurry too much.”

Ye Xue’e’s motherly heart was filled with concern.

“Mm-hmm, I’ll be careful,” Su Qingluo nodded with a smile and, without further hesitation, left the room.

“Miss Qingluo, your umbrella.”

Ying’er chased after her, holding the umbrella and helping her open it.

“Sister Ying’er, I have a bottle of sleep-inducing pills here. If my mother has trouble sleeping tonight due to her cough, give her one.”

Su Qingluo took the umbrella and handed Ying’er a bottle of medicine, advising her carefully.
