Chapter 527 Clever People
She didn't ask a single extra question, nor did she cry or make a fuss. This behavior greatly surprised Du Mingxian, who looked at the girl with newfound respect.
Ling Silang was busy, so Du Mingxian didn't dare to disturb him. Only after he finished examining her did she ask, "How is it? Can he still be saved?"
"Yes, I need to get some medicine."
"Okay, I'll take you in."
Ling Silang quickly prepared the medicine in his space and brewed it. The origin of these medicines would be unclear if they were taken outside. "These medicines will make him feel better, but he is still weak and needs more nourishment. It will take some time before he is fully recovered."
"As long as he gets better, that's good. I bought some servants today, and I was afraid they would be bribed by outsiders, so I gave them some pills to scare them by saying they were poison. But I forgot to tell them not to give them to the child, and by the time I found out, the child had already eaten them."
"It's alright, this medicine isn't a bad thing for his body," Ling Silang said calmly. "There's no need to blame yourself."
"Okay, thank you."
"Why are you being polite to me?"
"I'm just worried that you're busy up ahead and I'll have to call you back, which would delay things."
"Nothing is more important than your business, there's no rush ahead."
"That's good."
The two exchanged a few words. Ling Silang left a medicine for his departure, while Du Mingxian called in the child's older sister.
"What's your name?"
"Reporting to Madam, my name is Qiuguo."
"That's good. You can still call him Qiuguo from now on. Your brother is fine, but he still needs to take some medicine. I'll have someone move him to a different courtyard in a bit. You can take care of him there. I'll also have someone send you the medicine. You can decoct it and take it in the courtyard there."
"Thank you, Madam, thank you, Madam." Qiu Guo knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. She had truly met a good person this time.
Du Mingxian asked curiously, "Your brother's condition was serious back then. I asked you to leave, but you just left without asking a question?"
She was curious.
In general, many people will still persist and stay in this situation.
“Replying to Madam, this servant knows her own status. The fact that my younger brother can come into the manor with me is already the greatest favor Madam can bestow upon us siblings. Moreover, Madam just called the master back to treat my brother.”
“Your Excellency is an official, while my brother and I are lowly servants. The fact that Your Excellency and Madam do not look down on us proves that Your Excellency and Madam are good people with kind hearts.”
"Now that I've entered the manor, I'm naturally a servant here. I must obey the madam's orders. Even if I'm worried about my brother's condition, I have no choice but to go out."
"I believe that the lady and the lord will save him."
Du Mingxian felt that this girl was very shrewd and honest. "You're good at talking, but have you ever thought about what would happen if... what if we couldn't save your brother?"
“My younger brother was already in poor health. He was worried about me being alone, so he kept pushing himself. Now that he knows I’ve entered the manor and have a place to go, even if he can’t be saved, he should be at peace before he leaves.”
"I believe in him, he will figure it out," Qiu Guo said with great certainty.
Du Mingxian nodded gently, "Very good. Remember your original intention. I will only keep loyal people by my side."
"Yes, please rest assured, Madam. Qiuguo and her brother's lives were given to them by you. From now on, Qiuguo and her brother will definitely serve you well."
"it is good."
Du Mingxian didn't say anything more and turned to leave.
When Xiangyang returned, he arranged for people to settle Qiuguo and her younger brother in a small courtyard, not far from Du Mingxian's courtyard.
When Ling Silang returned in the evening, the two went into the space again.
Du Mingxian blushed a little as she thought about what Xiangyang had said that morning. "Are you getting your medicine dispensed tonight?"
"Guo Miaomiao's illness needs to be treated slowly. There's no need to rush things. She should wake up in a few days."
"Then I'll find an opportunity to put her in Qiu Guo's yard."
"Is it reliable?"
"The older sister of the child you treated today is a very smart person who knows what to say and what not to say."
"Okay, you can arrange it."
The next day, Du Mingxian went to the courtyard and asked Qiu Guo to clean up another room, without saying anything else.
That night, she quietly went over and put Guo Miaomiao on the bed in the room.
It was only during the day that he went to find Qiu Guo openly and honestly.
Qiu Guo had been taking good care of her younger brother these past two days, and the master hadn't assigned her any work, which made her very uneasy. Seeing the madam coming over now, she felt a little apprehensive.
"From now on, you will be responsible for taking care of the patients in the rooms in the courtyard."
Qiu Guo hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Madam, no! I... my brother and I are servants you bought. How can I not do anything and just take care of my brother? Please arrange some work for me, Madam."
Go and take a look at the room you cleaned yesterday.
Qiu Guo hesitated for a moment. She didn't see anyone being brought over, but she didn't ask any questions. She got up and went to check the room, and to her surprise, she saw someone lying on the bed. She breathed a sigh of relief.
After she came out, her expression was serious. "Madam, I will definitely take good care of the patient in bed."
"Ah."
Xiangyang stepped forward and handed Qiuguo two doses of medicine. "The larger dose is for your younger brother, and the smaller dose is for the other person. You need to decoct both and then take care of the patient to eat them."
"Yes, Qiu Guo will definitely do a good job."
Xiangyang was completely bewildered; she hadn't noticed anything, so how could there be a patient?
"We can't let the news that there's a patient in this courtyard get out. I'll tell people that you're staying here to take care of your brother."
"Yes."
After giving her instructions, Du Mingxian left with Xiangyang. Once outside, she wondered if she should go to the prefectural city, but Guo Miaomiao was still in the backyard, so she was unsure how to arrange things.
Ling Silang wasn't busy at noon, so he came back for lunch.
At the dinner table, Du Mingxian brought up her desire to go to the prefectural city.
“I’ve been back for a while, and I’m worried that the Tian family will investigate me. If they find out my identity, they won’t be able to find out anything about the Tian family.”
Ling Silang naturally knew this as well. Without saying anything, he directly took Du Mingxian's hand and took her pulse. After a while, he said, "You don't need to continue taking the medicine, but you still need to take the pregnancy-preserving medicine I prescribed for you for another month."
"Okay, I will definitely eat on time and properly." Du Mingxian knew that this meant he had agreed to let her go to the prefectural city. She was happy that she wouldn't be confined to the backyard anymore, but she was also reluctant to part with him soon.
Ling Silang reached out and gently pinched her cheek. "Remember, you're supporting two people in one body now, so you absolutely can't do anything reckless."
"Don't worry, I know. I'll take care of myself."
"That's good."
The two agreed.
In the afternoon, Du Mingxian started packing her things. Actually, there wasn't much to pack; she had everything in her space. But this time, she had to bring Chunfeng with her, so she had to put on a show.
Before she could finish tidying up, Xia Yu came in and said, "Madam, Madam Cheng is here again."
Du Mingxian frowned slightly. This Madam Cheng was really like a leech that she couldn't get rid of. If she didn't deal with it well while she was here, Madam Cheng would always come to see her after she left for the prefectural city, which would be even more troublesome.
