Chapter 285 Drink

What the doctor said was almost the same as what Xiangtao said, except that there were more professional terms. Ye Jiayao was frightened and at a loss after hearing it.

Why is it so serious?
Yexue went with the doctor to get the medicine, while Xiangtao continued her plan and complained to the Second Young Madam: "Second Young Madam, the problem now is that the prince himself thinks it's no big deal and says there's no need to take medicine."

Ye Jiayao was still confused. After a long silence, she ordered, "Please tidy up the bed and make the bedding."

Xiangtao was secretly delighted. Does the Second Young Madam mean that she will let the Young Master sleep here tonight?
"Yes." Xiangtao immediately ran to the main room to get clean bedding.

Ye Jiayao sat aside and watched Xiangtao busying herself with mixed feelings. She couldn't sleep on the same bed with the stupid donkey now, but if she didn't let him in, he would probably stay outside all night because of his stubborn temper. She could only take this compromise method. If she wanted to discipline him, she had to wait until he recovered from his illness.

Not long after, Qiao Xi and Ye Xue came back together. Ye Xue went to boil the medicine while Qiao Xi came to talk.

"The doctor at Renhetang examined it for a long time and said that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. The doctor said that the pharmacist in the pharmacy had gone out to buy herbs and would be back in about three to five days. The pharmacist at Renhetang is the most authoritative in Jinling City, so he must know what the problem is."

In this case, Ye Jiayao couldn't be impatient and could only wait a few more days.

Someone came from outside to report that Manager Zhao had arrived.

Ye Jiayao got up and went to the front hall to meet Manager Zhao.

"Second Young Madam, the matter of the Wei residence has been settled. According to your instructions, my agent did not bargain and paid a deposit of two thousand taels, but requested a delay of a few days to raise money." Manager Zhao said.

"When is the latest?" Ye Jiayao asked.

She specially called Manager Zhao back from the farm to help her with this matter. Manager Zhao was familiar with people in Jinling City, so as to avoid Ye Jinrong's suspicion. The Wei family was so eager to sell the Wei residence because they wanted to leave Jinling as soon as possible. She couldn't let them run away.

"The day after tomorrow. I don't know if this time is enough. If it is not, I will ask someone to delay it for a few more days. However, the Wei family is indeed in a hurry." Manager Zhao replied.

Ye Jiayao groaned and said, "No need, this little time is enough."

Mu Qinchu will submit a petition after meeting with Minister Mu tomorrow. Xiao Jing has also gone to the Kyoto government office to make a greeting. As long as the petition is submitted, the government office will immediately arrest the person.

In Wei's house, Wei Liujiang was sorting his things while Ye Jinrong was coaxing the child beside him.

Wei Liujiang threw all the books aside and wanted to ask someone to burn them, but then he thought that although he could no longer pursue a career in politics, his children might still need them in the future, so he packed the books back into the box one by one.

Ye Jinrong looked at this and felt very upset. Thinking back to this time last year, she and Liu Jiang came to Jinling with full confidence, hoping to pass the imperial examination and have a bright future. Unexpectedly, after a year, it ended in such a bleak way.

No matter what, it's all Ye Jinxuan's fault for being such a cruel bitch.

Her eyelids started twitching again. She has been twitching these past few days. They say left eyelids twitching means good fortune, right eyelids twitching means disaster. Both of her eyelids are twitching and she doesn't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.

Princess Liuli said that they would take action in the next few days, but there has been no news at all. Jin Yao used to come every day, but she hasn't come in the past two days. I don't know what the situation is in Jing'an Marquis' Mansion now. It's really worrying.

"Liujiang, why don't we leave early!" Jinrong always felt uneasy.

Wei Liujiang said without even looking up, "It's agreed that the man surnamed Zheng will come to sign the contract the day after tomorrow, so I don't mind waiting a few more days.

"The signing of the contract can be left to the housekeeper!" Jin Rong said.

Wei Liujiang smiled grimly: "Are you confident in handing over 80,000 taels of silver to someone else? Don't forget what happened to He Xiang and the steward. If someone else runs away with the money, we will really be left with nothing."

Jin Rong was speechless. He Xiang was a maid who had served her since she was a child and the most trusted person around her, but she did such a thing as embezzlement. Liu Jiang blamed her a lot for this.

"Besides, Dad still has to make proper arrangements for my aunt." Wei Liujiang said.

Jinrong hesitated and asked, "How to arrange it?"

Wei Liujiang shook his head. It was not that he didn't know, but that he couldn't say it. His aunt still had some evidence against his father in her hands, and his father wanted to coax her to Jinan, where he would be able to manipulate her. However, his father went to his aunt's house in the morning, but failed to convince her. His aunt asked his father to take out 100,000 taels of silver and hand over the evidence.

Jinrong thought it was not right and called A Lian over.

"Go to Jing'an Marquis's Mansion and visit the Third Miss. If she is free, ask her to come over."

"Yeah, I haven't seen Jin Yao for the past two days!" Wei Liujiang was also worried about her.

Jin Rong said sourly: "Why, do you miss her?"

Wei Liujiang covered it up and said, "I just asked this casually according to your words."

Jin Rong snorted in her heart, don't think she can't see it, Jin Yao is becoming more and more beautiful now. When Liu Jiang saw Jin Yao, his eyes couldn't help but stick to Jin Yao.

No man is good.

"What are you still standing there for? Didn't you hear what I said?" Jin Rong was full of resentment. She turned around and saw A Lian still standing there, so she got angry at A Lian and said fiercely.

A Lian lowered her head and left quickly.

Now the second young lady didn't know that her conspiracy had been exposed. If she went to see the third young lady, the third young lady would have been dealt with by the eldest young lady. Since the second young lady asked her to go, she would go openly to get some information.

Ye Jiayao was worried about Xia Chunyu's medication.

Ye Xue sent the medicine and brought it back in the same state, saying, "The prince refuses to take the medicine."

Ye Jiayao was extremely annoyed. How could there be such a person who didn't know his proper place? He was sick but still pretended to be sick. Did he think he was made of iron?
"Xiang Tao, go and ask the prince to come over."

Xia Chunyu was meditating in the study, using his internal energy to make his whole body get hotter and hotter. If he was right, then either Yaoyao would come over in person or ask him to come over. He had to make his condition look more serious.

"Master, the Second Young Madam wants you to come over!" Xiangtao came in with a smile.

Xia Chunyu was so overjoyed that he almost lost his breath and broke out in a cold sweat. Deer, this is looking even more realistic.

"Master, are you okay?" Xiangtao asked with concern when she saw that his face was pale.

Xia Chunyu shook his head, indeed feeling a little dizzy!

"It's okay, I can still hold on." Xia Chunyu struggled to go to the east wing.

"Yaoyao, you called me..." Xia Chunyu put on a shy smile as he entered the room and asked cautiously.

Ye Jiayao saw that his face was abnormally flushed and his feet were weak. She felt distressed and angry. Why didn't he take care of himself?
"Sit down." Ye Jiayao glanced at the chair beside her and said indifferently.

Xia Chunyu sat down with a smile.

Ye Jiayao winked at Ye Xue, and Ye Xue brought the medicine over.

"Drink." Ye Jiayao spoke sparingly and spoke in a completely commanding tone.

To be honest, Xia Chunyu was also afraid of taking medicine. Two years ago, when he was fighting pirates, he was accidentally injured and had to lie in bed for more than a month to recuperate. He drank bitter medicine every day, and he felt like vomiting reflexively whenever he smelled the medicine.

"It's just a minor illness, so you don't need to take the medicine?" Xia Chunyu said in embarrassment.

Ye Jiayao just stared at him coldly, and then spoke again, with one word: "Drink."

It just emphasized the tone.

Xia Chunyu picked up the medicine bowl angrily, wrinkled his nose and drank it all in one gulp. Xiangtao immediately brought him a glass of honey water.

"It's so bitter..." Xia Chunyu's eyes and nose were all wrinkled. It was too bitter.

"Can't you bear this little bit of suffering? I've been taking medicine every day for half a year. Have I ever complained about the pain? Do I need you to stare at me like this?" Ye Jiayao said unhappily.

Xia Chunyu said ashamedly: "It's my fault. I will drink consciously and actively next time."

Ye Jiayao hated him for not fighting, so she wanted to say something to him, but then she thought that he was a patient, so she let it go for now and told Xiang Tao, "Go boil some hot water and wipe the prince. Qiao Xi, go get the prince a set of clothes quickly."

He was covered in sweat and his clothes were the same as the day before yesterday, and he hadn't changed them since. Thinking that he had always been a clean person, even when he was an undercover agent in Heifenggang, he would take a shower and change clothes every day. But this time, he hadn't changed his clothes for two days, which was unprecedented.

Xia Chunyu then remembered that he had worn this outfit for three days. Feeling a little embarrassed, he put his nose to the cuffs and sniffed, but because his nose was a little blocked, he couldn't smell anything. He didn't care about his appearance before, but now that Yaoyao said that, he felt itchy all over and uncomfortable.

Everyone started to get busy, helping Chunyu take a bath. Ye Jiayao was counting the money in the side room. She had spent a lot of money in the past two days, and there were follow-up plans that also required money. These expenses were extra and disrupted her original plan. She needed to think about it carefully.

Yingtao came to report that there was a girl named A Lian outside who wanted to see her.

Ye Jiayao frowned and said, "Bring her in."

After a while, A Lian came.

"Miss, I'm here to see the third miss on the orders of the second miss. The second miss said that if it's convenient for the third miss, please come to her house." A Lian stated her purpose.

Ye Jiayao smiled: "Is the Second Miss okay?"

A Lian said truthfully, "The second young lady has been a little restless these days, the third young lady has not come again, and there is no news from the princess. The Wei residence has found a buyer, and they will leave for Jinan the day after tomorrow when the buyer pays the full amount."

As A Lian spoke, she paid attention to the eldest lady's reaction. The eldest lady had promised to restore her freedom. Would she go back on her word?
Ye Jiayao smiled knowingly: "It's okay, I don't think they can leave for a while."

A hint of surprise flashed across A Lian's eyes.

Ye Jiayao couldn't easily reveal her plan to A-Lian. After all, A-Lian wasn't her confidant. She only said, "Don't worry, I'll keep my promise to you. Now go back and report back. Just tell her that the third young lady said that these few days are critical and you can't go out casually."

Ah Lian understood and was about to leave, but Ye Jiayao stopped her again: "If the Second Miss asks about me, just say that I had a quarrel with the Young Master."

This is the only way to calm Jinrong's heart and make her happy for two more days. There will be plenty of time for her to cry.
