All Hail Cousin Brother-Chapter 121 - 121 Just to Harm Me

121 Just to Harm Me

Upon hearing that new clothes had arrived, Yu Qingning was very happy. However, when she suddenly heard the words “Eldest Miss”, she suddenly remembered that her grandmother had asked Yu Youyao to manage the house. She accidentally sprained her ankle, and the books on her head hit her face and fell to the ground.

Yu Qingning cried out in surprise.

Nanny Jin stood up with a smile. “Fourth Miss dropped her books, so we’ll light up another incense stick. Fourth Miss is the young mistress of an official family, but she’s making such a fuss. It’s really inappropriate. Let’s add another incense stick.”

After saying that, she ignored Yu Qingning’s gritted teeth and twisted expression and sat back in her chair, leisurely picking up her tea to drink. 𝘧r𝗲𝑒𝔀𝘦𝙗𝓃oν𝑒l.𝐜𝗼m

This tea was sent over by Eldest Madam Yang a few days ago. It was top-grade Tieguanyin tea, and it tasted very mellow and fragrant.

Yu Qingning was so angry that tears streamed down her face. She couldn’t help but curse, “That damned Yu Youyao. Instead of harming others, she came to harm me.”

Nanny Jin scoffed. Usually, when she heard such words, she would have to teach the younger generation of the sect a lesson on how to respect the younger generation and how to differentiate between the direct line of descent. However, some people were more ambitious than others, so they naturally couldn’t bear to hear such words. Hence, they started making a fuss again, making others feel that the nanny was useless and would ruin their reputation.

Yu Jianjia stood under the porch in a daze. She looked at the magnolia tree in the courtyard. It was March, and the flowers were blooming beautifully.

She had heard from her mother that this was a very precious magnolia. In the first year of her mother’s marriage to the Yu Residence, in order to please her mother, her father had spent a lot of effort to get it back from Ju Rong Treasure Mountain in Suzhou.

“Young Miss, the physician has just taken Madam’s pulse and is writing a prescription.” Hui Xiang walked quietly behind her young mistress with small steps. She looked at her young mistress, who was alone and filled with heartache.

As soon as Young Mistress finished school, Ai Ye came over to report that First Madam was having a headache again. When she asked, she realized that First Madam was angered by Eldest Miss.

All the servants in the residence were saying that Eldest Miss was as kind-hearted as Old Madam. She was kind and generous, and treated the servants well. She also sincerely respected Eldest Madam, and even Old Master praised Eldest Miss. 𝑓𝘳ℯ𝒆w𝘦𝘣𝙣𝘰ѵ𝘦𝚕.c𝗼𝓶

The servants did not dare to gossip about First Madam. On one hand, they were full of praise for Eldest Miss, while on the other hand, they kept quiet about First Madam. Even a fool could understand the difference.

On the first day that Eldest Miss was in charge of the household, she stepped on Eldest Madam’s head and established her authority in the residence, convincing the servants.

Indeed, she had been taught by a nanny in the palace to use some despicable and sinister methods to harm First Madam and Young Mistress.

Yu Jianjia covered her mouth with her handkerchief and coughed lightly. Her voice was a little hoarse. “I’ll go over now.”

The physician who was treating the First Madam’s illness was surnamed Ding. He was a capable physician who specialized in treating headaches and fevers.

When Xia Tao led Ding Langzhong to the main courtyard, she even told Nanny Li that Ding Lang’s Chinese medicine skills were very brilliant. Eldest Miss had spent a lot of effort to invite him into the residence.

She had only hired a physician, but that had already been a huge contribution. Those who didn’t know better would really think that Eldest Miss was so filial to Eldest Madam.

Yu Jianjia entered the house. Doctor Ding had already written the prescription and handed it to Nanny Li. Nanny Li casually took the prescription and turned to hand it to Mu Jin, who was beside her. However, her attitude was very cold. She did not even bother to hide it. There was only ink, paper, and inkstone on the table. She did not even bother to serve a cup of hot tea.

The doctor was invited by Yu Youyao, but the patient was her mother. How could she be so negligent!

Yu Jianjia frowned slightly and ordered someone to bring some tea over. After Doctor Ding took a sip, she asked worriedly, “Thank you for treating my mother. How is she?”

Seeing Third Miss Yu’s worried expression, Doctor Ding said, “Did First Madam have a migraine previously?”

Yu Jianjia nodded, and her face turned a little pale. “Just two days ago, I invited a physician over to take a look. The physician said that Mother only had a headache occasionally and would be fine after recuperating for a day or two. Who would have thought that she would have another headache today? It’s even more serious than before, and she can’t even get up.”

Doctor Ding nodded in understanding. “The previous deduction based on her pulse isn’t wrong. It’s just that First Madam’s illness is caused by a high level of anger, but it affects the liver, kidneys, spleen, stomach, and lungs. It has to be cleared of heat and activated blood and her vital energy has to be regulated to be fully recovered.” The physician looked down at his remaining pulse case and pointed at the words “regulate vital energy”. Then, he continued, “The focus is on the word ‘vital energy’. If the vital energy is flowing smoothly, the blood will flow smoothly, and if the blood flows smoothly, the vital energy will flow freely. The greatest taboo for this illness is to be highly emotional. When you’re emotional, the fire will burn, and the liver will move. When your stomach is burning, the vital energy will stagnate.”

Yu Jianjia’s breathing tightened. Doctor Ding had made it very clear that her mother was furious. “How should we treat this illness? Can it be cured?”

Doctor Ding nodded. “I’ve prescribed some medicine for First Madam’s stomach fire. It only takes two days for it to take effect. I’ve also prescribed a few more prescriptions to relieve the internal fire, and most of her illness has been cured. However, First Madam’s internal organs were injured this time. She still needs to recuperate carefully in the future before she can recover fully. Otherwise, it will be difficult to treat the root of her illness in the future.”

Hearing Physician Ding’s certainty, Yu Jianjia understood that the physician Yu Youyao had hired was indeed the best. She pursed her lips and said, “Thank you, Physician Ding.”

Doctor Ding shook his head. “Third Miss is too kind.”

Yu Jianjia ordered someone to cover the consultation fee and gave him a bag of good medicinal herbs. She asked Nanny Li to follow Doctor Ding back to get the medication.

After arranging everything, Ai Ye returned. “Third Miss, I’ve gone out to ask around. Physician Ding is indeed an extremely powerful physician in the capital. He’s best at headaches and fever, as well as difficult and complicated illnesses. There are many wealthy families in the capital who have invited him into the residence to take a look at their illnesses. He’s a useful person. Doctor Ding also has a good reputation. The medicinal herbs in other medicinal halls are of lower grade than his…”

Yu Jianjia listened carefully and nodded.

Yu Youyao had generously hired a physician for her mother. She definitely had to hire the best to show her “filial piety.”

She did not suspect that Yu Youyao would tamper with this. However, no matter how good the doctor was, she did not know his background. She was a little worried, so she asked Ai Ye to go out and ask around.

Hui Xiang came over. “Young Mistress, the First Madam is awake.”

Yu Jianjia hurriedly entered the inner room. Yang Shuwan leaned against the pillow, her face sallow. “Where’s Nanny Li?”

Yu Jianjia sat on the edge of the bed and held her mother’s hand. She said gently, “Nanny Li went to get medicine for Mother. Mother’s health is tight, and I’m worried about the others.”

Yang Shuwan nodded. “You know about what happened in the residence?”

Yu Jianjia nodded slightly and said, “Mother, don’t think about this anymore. Take care of your health and get the butler’s key back. Eldest Sister is young, but she’s only helping out. Mother is the mistress of the household. No matter what, this family can’t surpass Mother. Once Mother has regained power, she can think about the future.”
