All Hail Cousin Brother

Chapter 318 - 318 How Is This Good?

318 How Is This Good?

Yu Youyao quickly squatted on the ground and pinched Yu Shansi hard with her thumb.

It was all red, but Yu Shansi still did not react.

Seeing that Nanny Xu had been treating Fourth Brother for a long time without any improvement, Yu Jianjia couldn’t help but tighten her grip on her handkerchief, and her heart sank a little.

Her father despised her mother for being the daughter of a concubine, and her grandmother was also very dissatisfied with her mother. The reason why she and her mother could still live in peace was mostly because her mother had given birth to her father’s only legitimate son.

Fourth Brother was her and her mother’s protective talisman.

As long as Fourth Brother was around, there would be a place for her and her mother in the Yu Residence.

Initially, he had only fallen into the water and would be fine if he was saved. Who knew that it would be so serious? If anything happened to Fourth Brother…

At this moment, Chun Xiao led an old woman into the house. The old woman even carried a large pot.

Chun Xiao hurriedly said, “Young Miss, Old Madam Liu’s grandson almost drowned in water a few years ago. It was Old Madam Liu who used the big pot on the stove at home to get him to spit the water out.”

Old Madam Liu was an old servant from the Jade Courtyard. Originally, she had also been brought over by Young Miss to help. Fortunately, it was Young Miss who had asked her to ask the servants of the Songtao Courtyard if they knew how to save drowning people. When Old Madam Liu heard the news, she uncovered the big pot in the small kitchen and took the initiative to look for her to tell her about this.

Yu Youyao quickly asked Old Madam Liu to step forward.

Old Madam Liu was also an efficient person. She slammed the big pot on the ground and carried Fourth Young Master over. She placed him on the bottom of the pot and helped Nanny Xu massage Fourth Young Master’s back.

After about ten compressions, Yu Shansi opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of water. After vomiting, a lot of water flowed out of his mouth.

Old Madam Liu was overjoyed. “Fourth Young Master vomited water.”

Nanny Xu also heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Since he vomited water, his life is no longer in danger.”

Yu Youyao’s heart relaxed, and she immediately felt her entire body go limp. She quickly held onto the edge of the table.

Old Madam Yu’s expression also relaxed. Only then did she let Nanny Liu help her to a chair.

Yang Shuwan’s legs went limp and she fell to the ground. She couldn’t even hold Nanny Li in front of her.

Yu Jianjia’s grip on the handkerchief loosened. Before she could rejoice, she heard—

Nanny Xu frowned and said, “Although the weather is hot today, Fourth Young Master is still young and tender. He drowned in the lake for such a long time. Perhaps the wetness has entered his body. The imperial physicians haven’t arrived yet. If this drags on, the foundation of his body will be damaged…”

As soon as these words were spoken, Yu Jianjia’s heart skipped a beat, and she couldn’t help but cough.

If Fourth Brother’s foundation was damaged, what future would he have?

How would her father value her fourth brother much now?

How did things turn out like this?

Yang Shuwan had not thought of this, but when she heard that Brother Si’s body had been injured, she was also shocked. “Brother Si, I-I don’t know what to do…”

Old Madam Yu hurriedly said, “Auntie Xu, do you have any ideas?”

After Nanny Xu entered the residence, only the people from the Jade Courtyard addressed her as “Nanny.” Everyone else in the residence had to address her as “Aunt.”

Nanny Xu turned to look at Yu Youyao.

Even when faced with such a situation, a half-grown child could still be cold and quiet without panicking at all. However, after interacting with her for a long time, she could tell that the little girl’s tightly pursed lips were a sign of nervousness and uneasiness.

Nanny Xu pondered for a moment and said, “Forget it. I can try to help until the end, but I can’t guarantee that it will be useful. I have to invite the imperial physician into the residence as soon as possible.”

When Old Madam Yu heard this, she understood. Ordinary people wouldn’t get involved in such matters, in case it was a thankless task. They would receive complaints and attract hatred.

Nanny Xu was willing to give it a try because of Yao Yao.

Hence, she quickly said, “Thank you for trying, Aunt Xu. It’s all thanks to you that Brother Si’s life was saved today. No matter what, the residence owes you a favor.”

Old Madam Liu had also helped, but Si’er had lost consciousness. If Auntie Xu hadn’t handled it in time, Si’er probably wouldn’t have been able to wait for Old Madam Liu.

Yang Shuwan was so frightened that she did not dare to speak anymore. She only hoped that Nanny Xu could really save Brother Si.

Nanny Xu nodded and opened the small box she had brought. She took out some mugwort floss and looked at Yu Youyao. “I want to do moxibustion for Fourth Young Master. Come and help.”

When she came, she had already expected this situation. She had already prepared everything she needed and brought the items over.

“No…” Yang Shuwan wanted to stop her, but she was stunned by Old Madam Yu’s glare. It was as if she had been immobilized and had forgotten to move.

Yu Youyao hurriedly stepped forward and spread the mugwort floss on the long piece of straw paper, rolling it into a strip.

Nanny Xu took the mugwort floss and lit one end. She separated her index and middle fingers and pressed them on both sides of an acupuncture point near his heart and lungs. Then, she aimed the mugwort floss at the acupuncture point and roasted it.

Yu Shansi fainted. By doing this, he could also feel the temperature of the moxibustion through his fingers to prevent himself from being scalded.

Previously, when her cousin had a leg problem, in order to relieve his pain, Yu Youyao had learned about moxibustion from Nanny Xu. She also took a mugwort floss stick and asked Nanny Xu about her acupuncture points to help with the moxibustion.

It took about 5 to 7 minutes to apply moxibustion on one acupuncture point. Only when the acupuncture point was naturally red and warm did she change to another acupuncture point.

The master and servant pair cooperated. There was an invisible tacit understanding that actually had the power to calm people down.

Even Yang Shuwan’s anxious emotions gradually calmed down.

When her mind cleared, she also thought of it!

Although Old Madam Yu was not close to Brother Si, she was still Master’s only legitimate son and the only man in the residence. In the future, the main family would still have to rely on Brother Si to answer the door.

With Old Madam around, Yu Youyao did not dare to harm Brother Si.

She felt a little more relaxed.

After the moxibustion of the two acupuncture points, everyone could see that Yu Shansi’s pale face gradually regained color. They knew that he was fine.

It was obvious that this moxibustion was really useful. Nanny Xu was really amazing.

As for Eldest Miss…

Without Eldest Miss’s instructions, Nanny Xu would not have come to Songtao Courtyard, let alone save Fourth Young Master.

If Nanny Xu hadn’t made a move, no one in the residence would have known that Nanny Xu could save someone from drowning.

...

As long as a person who had drowned lost consciousness, it was basically impossible to save them. It was only because Eldest Miss was kind enough to burn the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill that Nanny Xu could successfully save Fourth Young Master’s life.

If Eldest Miss had really harmed Fourth Young Master, why would she help save him?

At that time, First Madam had scolded Eldest Miss repeatedly, saying that she was the one who had harmed Fourth Young Master. Eldest Miss had suffered, but she did not hold it against Madam. Instead, she insisted on letting Nanny Xu take a look at Fourth Young Master.

This saved Fourth Young Master’s life.
