All Hail Cousin Brother

They would always have some hidden heritage.

As the two of them were talking, a maidservant came over to report, “Imperial Physician Hu is here. He’s waiting for Young Miss in the Ting Lan Courtyard.

Young Master asked me to invite you over.”

Yu Youyao was stunned for a moment. Xia Tao was the fastest to speak. She quickly asked, “Hasn’t Imperial Physician Hu already left the residence after treating Third Miss?”

The maidservant replied, “It’s because Young Master was worried about Eldest Miss’ health. After he heard that Imperial Physician Hu had entered the residence to treat Third Miss, he chased after him on a horse to get him back.”

The Clan Chief’s wife’s eyes flickered.

She knew that Yu Zongzheng had invited an imperial physician into the residence.

Third Miss had a high fever and was not feeling well. However, Eldest Miss was exhausted from her grandmother’s funeral, and she was becoming more and more haggard. The imperial physician was called to the residence. It wouldn’t have made a difference if he tended to one or two patients. However, Yu Zongzheng did not even think about his eldest daughter at home.

Yu Youyao was the eldest daughter of the first wife, so she should be his priority.

Not to mention that Yu Youyao had been in charge of Old Madam’s funeral, so she should be the most important.

As a father, he was not even as considerate as her cousin.

Madam Zong could finally understand why Old Madam Yu had left such ridiculous last words for her granddaughter to return to her mother’s clan before she died.

At this moment, Yin Huaixi was sitting in the pavilion and talking to Imperial Physician Hu.

Imperial Physician Hu understood Eldest Miss Yu’s situation from him and said, “She’s eaten a lot of medicinal cuisine to nourish the mind, but her body is still getting thinner. She can’t open her eyes fully and her mood is bad. This is already a symptom of accumulated depression. If one accumulates too much depression and doesn’t eat enough nourishment, it will cause the body to lose weight continuously.”

Yin Huaixi’s eyes darkened. “Is it serious?”

Imperial Physician Hu did not speak rashly. “We’ll only know if it’s serious after seeing Eldest Miss Yu.”

Just as Yin Huaixi was about to ask again, he saw Zongzongs wife and Yu Youyao coming over together.

After greeting her, Chun Xiao took out a white handkerchief and gently covered Yu Youyao’s wrist, allowing Imperial Physician Hu to take her pulse.

A moment later, Imperial Physician Hu finished taking her pulse. “Eldest Miss has been overworked for a long time, causing her Qi and blood to be deficient. She still hasn’t recuperated from the last time she fell sick. Furthermore, because her family has passed away, she’s sad and depressed. She has been too worried, causing her Qi and blood to be unstable. Her liver is stagnant, and her heart and spleen are weak. She doesn’t have an appetite, so I’ll prescribe a few pills for her first. I’ll make a trip again in a few days.”

He needed to make another trip. It was obvious that this illness could not be taken lightly.

Yu Youyao said gratefully, “Thank you, Imperial Physician Hu.”

Yin Huaixi quickly went out with Imperial Physician Hu to prescribe a prescription and asked some more taboo questions.

Imperial Physician Hu said, “Eldest Miss Yu’s illness is caused by overwork. She can’t continue to work too hard or worry. She has to relax and recuperate in peace. Even if she doesn’t take any medicine, she can improve in three to five days. But about the Matriarch…” He shook his head and skipped this topic. “She needs to be supplemented with medicinal stones. Medicinal stones can treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Eldest Miss’s situation is a little serious. If she doesn’t resolve it, I’m afraid she’ll suffer.’

He knew the situation in the Yu Residence.

Ever since Old Madam Yu’s sudden illness, her health had not been good. He often entered the residence to take Old Madam Yu!s pulse. He also knew that it was Eldest Miss Yu who attended to her illness day and night and even had to manage the family matters. It went on for a few months. Even a person made of iron would not be able to not take it.

Old Madam Yu had suddenly passed away. Eldest Miss Yu’s body was already exhausted. Under great sorrow, it was already considered good that she did not collapse. Fortunately, Eldest Miss Yu was still able to support her body and continue to manage Old Madam’s funeral at such a young age.

Madam Zong held her hand and sighed. “Child, you’re not feeling well. Why are you still holding on and not saying anything? You even help manage your Grandmother’s funeral with us elders during this period.”

When a person was about to die, their words and actions were also kind. It was no wonder that Matriarch did not forget to plan for her granddaughter before she died.

Yu Youyao lowered her head. “Grandmother doted on me so much so I have to manage her funeral carefully. It’s also my way of fulfilling our relationship in this life.’

The Clan Chief’s wife understood and said, “We elders all see it. Your grandmother didn’t dote on you for nothing. The funeral will go on for another seven days. For the remaining days, you only have to go to the mourning hall to welcome the guests every day. With us elders around, the funeral will definitely be appropriate. Rest more and your grandmother will be able to leave in peace.”

Yu Youyao nodded. “Thank you, Aunt.”

The two of them chatted intimately for a while before the Clan Chief’s wife went to the mourning hall.

Yin Huaixi personally sent Imperial Physician Hu off and returned to the pavilion.

Chun Xiao consciously left and guarded the path that the pavilion had to pass.

When he was leaving residence, Imperial Physician Hu reminded, “Such an illness can’t be treated lightly. When Old Madam Yu was young, it was precisely after her body became exhausted that she accumulated pain in her heart. As time passed, she became sick with worry without recuperation. As time passed, the sickness accumulated in her body, causing her to suffer and lose her life.’

Yin Huaixi’s heart ached and he was angry. When the harsh words were about to come out of his mouth, they turned into self-blame. “It’s my fault for being negligent. I should have asked the imperial physician to take your pulse and give you medicine earlier. You wouldn’t have suffered for so long for no reason.”

Yu Youyao shook her head. “After Grandmother passed away, there were many things in the main family that needed you to step in and manage. There was too much to do. It’s my fault. Previously, I fell sick a little because I was too tired. After taking medicine, I recovered in two to three days so I thought that I was fine and didn’t care.’

A large part of the reason why Yin Huaixi was so busy was to share her burden and not let her tire herself out.

During this period of time, she had indeed been feeling exhausted. The people around her had always advised her to rest more. She had also been eating the medicinal cuisine to nourish her body so she thought that she was fine. In addition, there were no elders in charge of the residence. She was previously busy with the Mid-Autumn Festival and was worried about her grandmother’s health, so she did not listen.

Yin Huaixi’s heart ached. “You heard what Imperial Physician Hu said. You have to be more careful in the future. Don’t make me worry.”

Yu Youyao nodded.

Yin Huaixi suddenly said, “The gift I prepared for you in Youzhou was sent to the residence two days ago. However, Matriarch suddenly passed away, so I didn’t have the chance to give it to you.”

Yu Youyao’s eyes lit up. “What is it?”

Yin Huaixi smiled. “There’s a lot of things. Most of them were obtained from Harmon. They are all rare in the Great Zhou Dynasty. I’ll get someone to send them to the Jade Courtyard later. Take a look yourself..”
