Liu Qiaoer quickly ran out and pulled Niu Dahu back.
"Oh, that's my room. I didn't turn off the fire because I thought it would be troublesome to reheat the kang when I come back. The two children have been brought back. If you don't have anything to do, go back first and come back tomorrow. Come back tomorrow."
Niu Dahu still had firewood to deliver, so he turned his head and glanced at the locked room. Without any suspicion, he said goodbye to Liu Erniu and left.
What Liu Qiaoer didn't know was that while she was talking to Niu Dahu.
Lu Yunxi gave all the jewelry she had to Liu Erniu.
"This bracelet is to pay for your grandma's meals. You can exchange it for silver. One ounce of gold can be exchanged for ten ounces of silver. These two gold hairpins are for your mother. She gave her hairpins to your grandma to keep us. She doesn't have any valuable jewelry anymore."
It turned out that although Lu Yunxi was young, she had actually seen everything Liu Qiaoer did, and had already thought about how to divide these things when she came.
"This pair of earrings is for you. You have helped my sister and I a lot these days, and I don't have much to thank you for. This pair of earrings should be worth seven or eight taels of silver."
"I plan to leave the remaining gold hairpin and Yang'er's gold lock to Qiao'er for her to use in making a living."
As expected of a lady from a wealthy family, she considered everything very carefully, taking everyone into consideration, and yet she really had nothing.
Liu Erniu didn't know what to say for a moment while holding the jewelry. After all, she was a lady from an official family and she didn't dare to refute what she said.
Lu Yunxi seemed to understand Liu Erniu's dilemma and straightened her face: "Just do as I say. Even if Qiao'er is here, she won't say anything. Go ahead."
After the official lady put on her airs, Liu Erniu had no choice but to obey.
Outside, Liu Qiaoer had already driven Niu Dahu away, and Niu Dahu also called Liu Erniu to go back with her.
After seeing Niu Dahu and Liu Erniu off, Liu Qiaoer bolted the door and hurried to see Lu Yunzheng.
Lu Yunzheng had woken up a long time ago, but hadn't moved. Listening to the voices outside, he held his breath and couldn't help coughing twice. He was almost exposed by Niu Dahu.
When he saw Liu Qiaoer coming in hurriedly, his deep eyes flashed, and then he dared to cough loudly.
"You must be thirsty, drink some water. If you are hungry, just blink and I will make you some porridge."
Liu Qiaoer poured some water and put it to Lu Yunzheng's mouth with a straw. Lu Yunzheng took two sips from her hand before he suppressed his cough.
Blinking at Liu Qiaoer, he was indeed a little hungry.
Just when Liu Qiaoer was about to go to the kitchen to cook porridge, suddenly, two little people stood at the door, seven-year-old Lu Yunxi and three-year-old Lu Yunyang, holding hands, staring blankly at the person lying on the bed.
When Lu Yunzheng saw that his younger brother and sister were fine, he struggled excitedly for a few times, and suddenly he gasped in pain.
Liu Yeer simply brought both children to him and said, "I kept my word. They are both fine and will live with us in the future. Now you should rest and recover. After you recover, you will have the opportunity to visit your family in the prison."
Lu Yunzheng pursed his lips, his beautiful peach blossom eyes turned red, and he stretched out his hand towards the two children with difficulty.
The clever Lu Yunxi guessed who the attacker was at once, rushed to the bed, hugged Lu Yunzheng's arm and cried bitterly, her suppressed crying was heartbreaking.
Young Master Lu Yunyang didn't know who the person lying on the bed, wrapped like a mummy, was. Seeing his sister's actions, he was bewildered.
"Qiao'er, is this guy going to die soon? Why is my sister crying for him?"
Liu Qiao'er was speechless, and pushed Lu Yunyang in front of Lu Yunzheng: "He is your elder brother, and he is sick. When I am not around, remember to take care of him."
Big brother? Lu Yunyang looked up and down, and then lifted the quilt to see. The man was wrapped up like this, and he couldn't see the shadow of his big brother.
"No, my elder brother is very handsome, not like this."
Lu Yunyang refused to believe that the elder brother whom he had admired since childhood now looked like a dying man, barely breathing and unable to even speak.
"But if you need me to take care of him, I will take good care of him."
He sensibly held Liu Qiaoer's hand tightly, his little face full of grievance, his clear eyes showing both doubt and sadness.
It was normal that she couldn't be seen being wrapped like this. Liu Qiaoer didn't know how Lu Yunxi could tell. Maybe blood was thicker than water.
Lu Yunxi wiped away her tears and held Lu Yunzheng's hand tightly: "Brother, Yang'er and I will live well in the future, and you should also take good care of your injuries. Let's wait for our parents, second brother, and aunt to come out together, okay?"
Lu Yunzheng raised his hand to wipe away Lu Yunxi's tears, and agreed softly: "Okay."
The three siblings were reminiscing about the past, so Liu Qiaoer didn't stay in the room.
She first went to the kitchen to cook some porridge for everyone, and then she ran to find a doctor.
Lu Yunzheng's injuries healed quickly with the medicine in the space, but now that the two children have returned, she can no longer use the medicine in the space and has to find a doctor to treat Lu Yunzheng's injuries.
But the doctor they find must be a good person who can keep it a secret for them. Otherwise, if the news of Lu Yunzheng being rescued spreads, they will all be in trouble.
After much thought, Liu Qiaoer went to the home of Doctor Mu, who often treated the servants.
Doctor Mu is in his forties and has excellent medical skills and character. Mrs. Lu always likes to see him, and Doctor Mu will bring his son with him when he sees patients.
In order to improve her son's medical skills, Mrs. Lu would also let her son treat the servants.
Doctor Mu's son Mu Lingxiao is nineteen years old this year. He has been married for almost two years and his wife just got pregnant. They live a harmonious life. He is a mature person and most importantly, he keeps his mouth shut.
Liu Qiaoer lingered in front of Doctor Mu's clinic for a while, then went in through the side door, found Mu Lingxiao's wife, and then found Mu Lingxiao.
"Are you the maidservant beside Miss Lu?" Mu Lingxiao was tight-lipped but had good eyesight, and he could actually remember Liu Qiaoer.
Liu Qiaoer was delighted: "Doctor Xiao Mu is indeed smart. I took the liberty of coming here to ask Doctor Xiao Mu to see me."
Mu Lingxiao nodded. He was a doctor, and others would not come to him if they had nothing to do. "Wait for me, I'll go get the medicine box."
Liu Qiaoer thought for a moment and added, "Doctor Xiao Mu, the patient has quite a lot of injuries, please get more medicine."
Mu Lingxiao paused and nodded at Liu Qiaoer.
After a while, he appeared in front of Liu Qiaoer, wearing a green robe and carrying a large medicine box.
Seeing Liu Qiaoer's hesitant expression, his clear eyes flashed, and without asking anything, he stretched out his hand to make a sign of please.
Liu Qiaoer brought Mu Lingxiao all the way to the yard and asked a question after some hesitation.
"Doctor Xiao Mu, no matter what you see later, I hope you will keep it confidential. Don't worry, I won't give you a penny less for the consultation fee."
Mu Lingxiao nodded heavily: "Don't worry, doctors value the privacy of patients the most. We will not tell others about the patient's condition casually. Even if the government comes, we cannot do that without the patient's permission."
It's good to have professional ethics, just don't be too surprised for a while.
