Chapter 445: Compensate You for Whatever You Should Have Gotten from the Xia Clan (2)

Zhao Chuchu sat beside Chang Hong’s bed and said, “Sister Hong, Brother Le treats you very well.”

Chang Hong replied, “You’re right. He treats me well. He’ll prioritize my needs before his. I think the luckiest things that have ever happened to me were encountering him, the Third Prince, and you. The Third Prince gave me a chance to live, Brother Le makes me feel loved, and you enable me to make up for my biggest regret.”

“Helping you is no trouble at all. You’re a kind soul. Of course, I’m willing to help you.”

“I’m sure Mr. Xie shares the same sentiment as me and also thinks that meeting you is the best thing that has happened to him.”

Zhao Chuchu burst out laughing and did not respond to that.

Chang Hong said, “Mrs. Xie, why don’t you go on with your day? I’m a servant of the Xie clan, but I’m currently lying in bed and not doing my duty. If you stay here to keep me company, I’ll feel very ashamed of myself.”

“Sister Hong, no need to worry about such things. I’m just curious about the love story between you and Brother Le.”

“There is not much to tell about how we met. We just met each other when we had no one else to rely on.”

Chang Hong seemed unwilling to speak more about their past.

Zhao Chuchu did not press the matter further.

It was fine as long as the couple was loyal to Xie Jun.

Everyone had their secrets.

“Rest well. I will take my leave.”

“Thank you, Mrs. Xie.”

Zhao Chuchu tucked Chang Hong in and then left the room.

Xie Heng had just returned from the academy. Once he entered the courtyard, he smelled the strong scent of medicine. He knew that Zhao Chuchu was treating Chang Hong.

There was a teacher with him.

This teacher was the infertile one.

After a few days of deliberations, he decided to let Zhao Chuchu try to cure his infertility.

He knew that the principal’s condition was improving day by day ever since Zhao Chuchu began treating the latter. The principal’s sore shoulders and neck pain had been greatly relieved. At the very least, the teacher had not seen the book boy massaging the principal’s shoulders anymore.

“Teacher, please sit for a while. I will go call Chuchu,” said Xie Heng as he invited the teacher to his study. Xie Heng poured him some tea before he went to the medicine room to call Zhao Chuchu.

Right when Xie Heng and the teacher entered the house, Zhao Chuchu noticed the teacher’s arrival.

However, she did not come out of the medicine room to greet them. Instead, she waited for Xie Heng to call her before going to the study with him.

She greeted, “Teacher.”

“Chuchu, regarding what you said last time, I thought about it carefully. I want to give it a try. May I know…”

After all, this was a matter of pride, so the teacher did not want Xie Heng to know too much.

“Alright. Teacher, please follow me,” said Zhao Chuchu as she invited him to the medicine room.

“Chuchu, are you sure that the problem lies with me? I wish to bring my wife here tomorrow to let you also check on her. Will you be free?” the teacher asked.

“I can take a look at her. However, it would be best for you to come tomorrow morning. I will be making a trip to the Yuan residence tomorrow afternoon and probably won’t be back that early.”

“Then I will bring her over in the morning… Chuchu, are you certain that I can still have children?”

“Of course. If I were not confident, I would not have advised you to seek treatment.”

“That would be best. Sorry to trouble you then, Chuchu.”

The teacher naturally extended his hand for her to check his pulse.

“Teacher, I don’t need to check your pulse,” said Zhao Chuchu with a smile. She turned around and took a bottle from the rack. She then passed it to him and said, “I knew that you would come. I have already made the medicine for you to save you from embarrassment. You only need to take it back and consume it. ”

The teacher exclaimed, “There’s no decoction to be done?”

Zhao Chuchu shook her head and explained, “Nope. I have made the herbs into pills. It’s easier for you to take home.”

The teacher was very happy as he praised, “You’re such a considerate child. How much are the consultation fee and the medicine?

“You don’t have to pay me any consultation fee. Pay me five silver for the medicine.” Zhao Chuchu did not want the teacher to feel that he was indebted to her, so she charged him just like she would with most patients. 𝑏𝑒𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝑚

The teacher took out a pouch and passed it to Zhao Chuchu.

She felt the pouch with her hand and estimated that there was at least 20 silver in it.

The school fee of Qingyang Academy was not high, so the stipend received by the teachers would most likely not be a lot either. These 20 pieces of silver were most likely two or three months’ worth of the teacher’s salary.

Zhao Chuchu did not return the pouch to him, instead keeping it.

“You should consume two pills three times a day with meals. This bottle contains half a month’s supply. After you finish consuming them, come back to see me,” said Zhao Chuchu as she instructed him on how to consume the pills. She also told him about things to look out for and possible side effects that he might experience.

The teacher paid close attention and committed everything to memory. After he had repeatedly confirmed that he had remembered her instructions correctly, he took the medicine and left the medicine room.

He had initially planned to head home, but Xie Heng asked him to stay for dinner, so he obliged and left after dinner.

Before they went to bed, Zhao Chuchu and Xie Heng discussed the day’s matters as always.

“Yu Linjiang came to beg you?” When Zhao Chuchu heard this name, she immediately sat up and asked, “Has he finally realized that no one can save him?”
