Chapter 66: Yan City The Jun Residence

Seeing his sister’s hatred and bitter expression, Gu Ming felt a pang of heartache. However, he still said rationally, “Whether to drink the medicine or not is up to the doctor.”

”I’m a doctor!” Even the brother who loved her the most didn’t stand up for her. Gu Ye felt aggrieved, and so she pouted.

Gu Ming chuckled and said, “Yes, a young doctor who has studied medicine for less than two months, can only compete with Grandpa Zheng in changing medicine. Our Little Doctor Gu, I’ve been coughing recently. Can you prescribe medicine for me?”

Who said that this Old Lady can only compete on changing medicine? I have performed hamstring sutures and I am a surgical genius in thoracotomy! ! Gu Ye growled inwardly.

Although she knew that her brother was making fun of her, she still asked uneasily, “Brother, do you have a cough? I have medicine here! My medicine is much more effective than the medicine that Uncle-Master prescribes. Not only is it not bitter, but it is also sweet.”

”Did you ask Grandpa Zheng to help you dispense medicine again? Why do I think that to cater to your preferences, the pills are made sweet Grandpa Zheng spoils you a lot. He does whatever you want!” Gu Ming stroked his little sister’s furry little head and smiled, “Don’t worry. I’m just messing with you. I’m in good health!”

Gu Ye couldn’t express the bitterness in her heart. Who told her to use her master as an excuse every now and then? Now that she claimed to have concocted the medicine herself, someone wouldn’t believe it! She shook her head, shook off her brother’s wilful hand on her head and said angrily, “Master loves me. Don’t you love me anymore?”

”I only have you as my younger sister. How could I not love you? In the future, you should not do any heavy work and just take care of your own body. That way, you will not accumulate strain and fall sick again.” Although Gu Ming did not see with his own eyes his sister’s incredibly dangerous condition, from her thin chin that looks pointy on her little face and slightly pale complexion, he could guess that her illness wasn’t at all minor. Thus, he felt even more distressed.

”I’ll just follow Uncle-Master’s recuperation plan. I can recover in at least two months to as long as half a year and will be no different from ordinary people. Nothing will drag me back by then! It’s just that the medicines for the next few months can’t be delivered to Jimin Pharmacy, so we have to inform them in advance.” They wouldn’t be earning a penny in the next month which made Gu Ye a bit regretful.

Gu Ming thought for a while, and said, “We should be able to find a branch of Jimin Pharmacy here in Yan City. I’ll go with Grandpa and explain the matter to them later. You, stop worrying too much and just take care of yourself.”

Gu Ye nodded obediently. All of a sudden, the carriage stopped again. She crawled to the carriage door curiously, opened the curtain and looked out: “Why did we stop? Have we arrived?”

At the front of the team, a man in a blue brocade robe and a black cloak walked over to the Major General’s carriage and said something inside. Whether in looks and garment, he didn’t look like a servant. Could he be a relative of the Chu family?

While she was wondering, Dong Xue came in from outside and said with a genuine smile, “The Chu family’s house in Yan City Has not been occupied for a long time. Although there are servants to manage and clean it, omissions are inevitable. Our Eldest Young Master’s maternal relatives live in Yan City, and upon hearing news, a relative of Young Master personally came to pick him up to let him recuperate there.”

”His maternal relatives? It’s quite inappropriate for me to tag along and recuperate there, right?” Since they were the in-laws of the Duke of Zhen, they must have an extraordinary reputation and status.

Dong Xue smiled and replied, “Why is it inappropriate? You are the apprentice of our Eldest Young Master’s savior, and you fell ill from trying to save him. You are our distinguished guest! The relative said that they have already tidied up a courtyard for you in the inner house, and it is for you to recuperate!”

All right! After all, she was also the savior of Young Master Chu. If she recuperates at his relatives’ house, it can be regarded as returning her favor. Gu Ye accepted this arrangement with peace of mind.

It was Gu Ming who was a little less comfortable: “Sister, the inner mansion of a large family isn’t a place that ordinary people can just enter. It’s going to be inconvenient for me and grandfather to take care of you. By the way, I brought all the money from home. We can rent a house outside…”

”Oh no-no-no! Young Master Gu, how can you stay comfortably in a rented house outside? Besides, there will be maids and servants in the courtyard. Why would there be a need for you and General Gu to take care of Miss in person?” Dong Xue interjected right away.

Gu Ye frowned and thought for a while, and said, “My illness requires Uncle-Master and Master discretionary medication. My grandfather and brother living in someone else’s house is really inconvenient.”
