154 My Legs Feel Better

It was also simple to heat the bed. It didn’t take much effort. He could hire a few more people to build it in the morning, burn some charcoal, and then sleep at night.

Zhou Linghuai nodded. Now that his body was warm, he felt a little hot.

Seeing a thin layer of sweat on her cousin’s forehead, Yu Youyao called Chang An over. “Cousin is sweating from the heat. Bring over a cloak and a small blanket and change him out of the deer fur coat.”

Chang An turned around and saw that his young master was indeed sweating. He didn’t know what method Miss Yu had used on him, but he quickly went to the inner room.

!!

Chang An brought over a cloak and a blanket, wanting to help Young Master put it on.

However, Yu Youyao reached out and took it. She carefully put on the cloak for her cousin and placed the small blanket on his lap. “Do you feel cold?”

Zhou Linghuai shook his head. “It’s very good.”

Yu Youyao was relieved. She turned to Chang An and instructed, “When it gets cold, add on the deer fur coat. Cousin can’t stand the humidity, let alone sweat. Once he sweats, he will feel the humidity. You have to be especially careful. In about ten minutes, you have to check Cousin’s temperature.”

Chang An nodded. He had to admit that Yu Youyao was more meticulous in taking care of his young master.

Yu Youyao handed the medicinal oil to Chang An. “Apply the medicinal oil on Cousin every two hours. Be careful when applying it. Help Cousin rub his legs more and let the medicinal oil seep into his skin. It’s best to do it for an incense stick.”

Chang An took the medicinal oil and turned to look at his young master. Seeing that his young master did not say anything, he knew that his young master had taken Yu Youyao’s words to heart.

He also felt happy.

Yu Youyao pointed at the food beside the copper stove. “The deer antler ginseng chicken soup inside is very nourishing. Cousin, if you feel cold, drink a bowl to warm your stomach and your body.”

Chang An had been listening carefully, but when he heard that she even had to take care of Young Master’s food and drink, he immediately widened his eyes in anger. He had taken care of Young Master for many years. Although he was not as meticulous as a maidservant, he was still used to doing this. Wasn’t this obvious that he was unreliable?

Yu Youyao did not care if he was convinced or not. “Send Cousin food from the Jade Courtyard these few days. We’ll talk about it when the Zhou family’s old servant comes.”

Chang An opened his mouth…

Yu Youyao ignored him. “Take some time to go to the Jade Courtyard and get Nanny Xu to teach you the massage. In the future, you have to apply medicinal oil every morning and night to help Cousin massage his legs.”

Just as Chang An was about to speak, Yu Youyao had already turned to her cousin and said, “Cousin, I’ll go back first. If you’re not feeling well these few days, you don’t have to run to the Jade Courtyard. If there’s anything I don’t understand in class, I’ll come to the Green House to look for you.”

Zhou Linghuai nodded. “Okay!”

The little girl explained everything in detail without asking for his opinion. He had been listening from the side, but he couldn’t even interrupt. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

At dawn, Nanny Liu ordered someone to prepare dinner.

When one was old, their stomachs would become weaker. If they ate late and had food in their stomachs, it would be difficult to digest it.

Old Madam Yu sat at the table with a distracted expression and asked, “Yao Yao stayed in the Green House for two to four hours in the afternoon?”

Nanny Liu nodded. “Young Master’s leg condition flared up, and his bones were in great pain. Young Master doesn’t have anyone to take care of him, so Eldest Miss went over to help take care of him.”

Old Madam Yu nodded. “That’s true. Chang An is a young and loyal child, but he doesn’t look very stable. Uncle Sun is old, so how can he have the energy to take care of others? It’s better to find a few people to go to the Green House to take care of him. It’s more appropriate. How can Yao Yao be tired every time his leg disease relapses?”

When Zhou Linghuai entered the residence, he had also arranged for many people to serve in the Green House.

However, Zhou Linghuai liked peace and quiet. He had just moved into the residence and was not used to having too many people in the courtyard. In addition, he had broken his leg and usually lived in seclusion. Once there were more people around him, it was inevitable that they would run their mouths. It would be bad for him to have some loose tongues, so he let him send the people in the courtyard away.

He had not expected this today.

Nanny Liu quickly agreed. “Old Madam is right. I’ll go to the Green House tomorrow to ask Young Master for his opinion.”

Old Madam Yu picked up her chopsticks and was about to eat.

Qing Xiu led Qiu Xing into the house.

Qiu Xing bowed to Old Madam Yu. “Old Madam, this afternoon, Young Miss personally cooked some angelica ginseng chicken soup for you. She asked me to bring it over to you. Young Miss also said that since the weather is wet and cold, the angelica ginseng chicken soup will nourish your blood and nourish your Qi and blood. It’s also light. Old Madam, drink a little at night to nourish your mind and sleep well.”

Old Madam Yu immediately beamed. “Why did this child go to the kitchen personally for no reason? Didn’t she burn the kitchen?”

Qiu Xing smiled and said, “Young Miss saw that it was raining today and the weather was wet and cold. Thinking that Old Madam had a cold, she was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable, so she went to the kitchen and personally brewed medicinal cuisine to nourish her body. It lasted for more than four hours. Recently, Young Miss had been learning from Nanny Xu in the kitchen and often went to the kitchen. The medicinal cuisine that Old Madam usually ate was also made by Young Miss. How could she have burned the kitchen? Even Mother Zhao, who was watching from the side, said that Eldest Miss was not careless at all when she did things.”

Although what she said was true, the reasoning was different. It sounded like she was making the soup for Old Madam Yu.

Her granddaughter was filial and thought about her all the time, so how could Old Madam Yu not be happy? “The kitchen isn’t an easy place. Don’t tire Yao Yao out.”

Qiu Xing nodded and said, “Eldest Miss also said that the weather is wet and cold. The medicinal cuisine in An Shou Hall has been prepared by the Jade Courtyard and sent over to nourish Old Madam.”

Qing Xiu sent Qiu Xing out.

Old Madam Yu happily drank the soup that her granddaughter had personally brewed. She smiled so widely that her teeth could not be seen. “This chicken soup is cooked well. It’s not greasy at all when you drink it. Instead, it has a fresh fragrance. Yao Yao, you’ve grown up.”

Nanny Liu was also smiling.

Usually, when Eldest Miss was free, she would run to An Shou Hall. However, after Young Master entered the residence and Eldest Miss became closer to him, it was inevitable that she couldn’t accompany Old Madam all the time. Although Old Madam was happy to see this, she couldn’t help but feel that something was amiss.

Young Master’s leg was acting up, and his bones were in unbearable pain. However, Old Madam also had a chronic cold. When the weather turned cold, her body felt uncomfortable. However, how could she be happy when her granddaughter was busy caring for others?

Now that Eldest Miss’s soup was here, wouldn’t Old Madam be happy?

After dinner, Old Madam Yu leaned against the couch. “We have to take good care of Linghuai’s legs and have to look for a few suitable people carefully. We can’t be careless.”

The next morning, someone came over to build a heated bed for Zhou Linghuai.

Yu Youyao had to go to school and couldn’t keep an eye on him personally, so she asked Nanny Xu to take a look.

At noon, Yu Youyao went home from school. Without even returning to the Jade Courtyard, she went straight to the Green House. The heated brick bed was already built, and there was a charcoal fire burning in the house.
