After Miss Li felt his pulse, Qin Shouye asked worriedly, "Miss, how is my brother?"
When Qin Shouye asked this question, Qin Shoucheng was extremely worried. He was really worried that Miss Li would say that he was not faking illness. At this moment, he hoped that Miss Li's medical skills were not as good as Doctor Li's. Therefore, he looked at Miss Li nervously and worriedly.
Miss Li thought for a moment and said, "Third Master's case is not serious. It's probably because of the hot weather these days. He got some heat on the way to and from school, so he feels a little uncomfortable. I'll prescribe some appropriate medicine for him. Second Master, don't worry."
Qin Shouye felt relieved when he heard her say that. He thought that summer was indeed hot, and it was possible that his third brother had eaten the heat.
At the same time, Qin Shoucheng also breathed a sigh of relief. He thought to himself, that's right, the weather is hot, he must have been exposed to the heat and got a little heatstroke. So, his anxiety faded away and he felt relieved.
Miss Li had been observing Qin Shouye from the beginning. Seeing his expression, she had some guesses in her mind. She said to Qin Shouye, "Second Master, please come with me to get the medicine. I am also feeling a little unwell, so I will not bring the medicine later."
When the old woman heard this, she couldn't help but frowned and said, "Miss, I'll go with you to get the medicine."
Qin Shouye said, "No, I'll go right away." I don't know why, but when he heard Miss Li ask him to go with her to get the medicine, he felt a little happy. Especially when he thought about being alone with Miss Li, he felt a little nervous.
When the old woman heard this, she said respectfully, "Yes." But she had other plans in her mind.
Miss Li saw this and said, "Aunt, come along too. My master is a rough man and probably doesn't know how to make the medicine. I'll talk to you so we can make it clear. But Second Master is Third Master's elder brother, so I'll have to explain some of the medicine to him as well."
The old woman was relieved when she heard Miss Li say this. She had been overthinking just now. She felt that it was inappropriate for a young lady to invite the second master to get medicine privately, and she was afraid that Miss Li had other thoughts. Now after hearing what Miss Li said, she stopped thinking about it.
Qin Shouye said: "What the girl said is right."
Miss Li packed her things and went out, Qin Shouye and the maid followed. Outside the yard, Miss Li said to the maid, "Aunt, I have something to say to the Second Master in private, please step back a little."
The old woman looked at Qin Shouye, and after Qin Shouye nodded, she stepped back, but she kept an eye on them to prevent them from getting a bad reputation. She was from the General's Mansion, and when she was bought, Nanny Lian taught them the rules. If something damaged the reputation of the General's Mansion, they should inform her immediately.
After the maids left, Miss Li said, "Second Master, I want to tell you something about Third Master. In fact, Third Master is not ill, and the saying about ingesting heat is just something I mentioned casually." Before saying these words, Miss Li also considered whether to tell Xiangjun or Qin Shouye. After all, Xiangjun was the mistress of the general's mansion, but considering that she would need to prepare medicine later, and also worried about Qin Shoucheng's other ideas, she still told Qin Shouye when Xiangjun was not in the mansion.
When Qin Shouye heard what Miss Li said, his little thoughts of gloating disappeared, and he immediately asked worriedly: "Please tell me, Miss, is Shoucheng... No, you just said that Shoucheng is not sick, then why..."
Miss Li explained: "I see that Third Master is fine. His pulse is normal, but his pulse was beating faster than usual. I thought he might be lying because he was nervous. I was thinking, maybe Third Master didn't want to go to school, or something else, so he took a sick leave?"
"This..." Qin Shouye recalled what happened just now. Shoucheng didn't seem to want to see a doctor.
Miss Li continued, "Of course, this is just my judgment. It may be that I am not very skilled. When my father comes back in the evening, it would be fine for Second Master to ask him to take a look at it again. But for now, Third Master should be fine."
Qin Shouye understood why she came to get the medicine herself. It turned out that she wanted to tell him about this in private. If she told him in front of Shoucheng, it would not be good. He understood and said, "Thank you for telling me. What about the medicine?"
Miss Li said, "Second Master can just tell him that the mansion doesn't have any medicine suitable for Third Master, and when the mansion has prepared the medicine, it will be sent to Third Master."
Qin Shouye clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, young lady."
Miss Li returned the greeting: "Then I'll take my leave."
Qin Shouye watched her leave, and felt that her illness seemed to be more serious than before. During the time they were talking in private, her voice was more restrained than before, probably because she was not feeling well and had to endure it. He was only worried about Shoucheng, and didn't notice this. At this point, Qin Shouye took a few steps forward and caught up with Miss Li: "Miss, are you really okay? How about I take you back to the yard?"
If Qin Shouye was still the Qin Shouye in Baili Village, he would not dare to interrupt the girl like this, not to mention that the other party was a girl from a doctor's family, he was even more afraid. But now, he dared, partly because of the confidence given by his family, and more often because of his own confidence. He followed Yang Haiyan to learn accounting, and also learned a lot of principles of dealing with people from her, and also gained knowledge. Studying and learning arithmetic with the teacher also increased his vision. Finally, his mother was a lady of the seventh rank, and his eldest brother was a general of the fifth rank, which also gave him confidence. However, the final confidence still came from himself.
What relatives gave was only the basics, but what was the use if I didn't live up to expectations? My family was a powerful one, and the children were also cowardly. Therefore, Qin Shouye's courage mainly came from his own changes.
If Yang Haiyan were to say, Qin Shouye was the one who changed the fastest among the Qin family. Or, he was a careful person. When he was in Baili Village last year, he wanted to find a job outside. If Qin Fang had not gone back and Qin Shoucheng had not been taken away, leaving him trapped in Baili Village and being filial to his parents, he might have achieved something long ago.
Even being the owner or accountant of a restaurant is an achievement for an ordinary country person.
Now, Qin Shouye has his chance, so his change is the biggest and fastest. At the same time, he is also forcing himself to change and grow, because he knows that he is the only one in the family who can help his eldest brother. The third brother is still young, and Niu Dan is even older, so he can grow up quickly in the hope of helping his eldest brother.
Unexpectedly, when Qin Shouye walked up quickly, Miss Li walked even faster. She walked to the side quickly and said, "Please stay, Second Master."
The hurried steps and the trembling voice made Qin Shouye pause. He was a little surprised. He didn't know why Miss Li was like this. He didn't do anything. Qin Shouye thought it was his fault that he scared Miss Li. He hurriedly explained: "I'm sorry for being so abrupt, Miss. Please forgive me. I just saw that Miss didn't look well and was worried that she would faint on the road, so I planned to send her back."
Miss Li naturally knew that Qin Shouye had no ill intentions. Xiangjun and the general were both good people. They took her and her father in and never looked at her with strange eyes. Even when the people in the mansion needed new clothes, Xiangjun would send them to her. Since she came to the general's mansion, she had never gone out. In fact, all the clothes she wore were prepared by Xiangjun. The clothes were novel in style and comfortable in material, but they never exposed anything, which made her feel at ease. Therefore, she trusted Xiangjun very much.
The reason why she trusted the general was because she had saved herself, saved those innocent girls, and eliminated the bandits. Therefore, she would not be nervous when Xiangjun came to the yard. Even when Xiangjun sent a patient here yesterday, she was not as nervous as she was today.
Today's nervousness was due to her inability to control her mental illness, and secondly, the way the Second Master looked at her made her feel very uncomfortable, making her wonder if her clothes were not worn properly, or if something was exposed.
In fact, she knew that she was being too sensitive, but she couldn't help but feel uneasy. "Thank you, Second Master. I was in a hurry to go back because I had things to deal with. Don't worry, Second Master, I'm fine. Excuse me." After saying that, Miss Li ran away.
Qin Shouye looked at her from behind. Although Miss Li said it was her own fault, Qin Shouye still felt that he had frightened her. He did not understand how he had frightened her. After all, it was she who had asked him to come out, and he had not done anything rude. Qin Shouye came to his senses and said to the woman, "Let's go and see Miss Li off. Let's see if she needs any help. Let's help her."
Mother-in-law: "Yes."
Qin Shouye adjusted his mood and returned to the yard. In the yard, Niu Dan and Qin Shoucheng were talking and laughing. When they saw Qin Shouye coming back, they stopped laughing immediately. To be honest, they were in awe of Qin Fang, but this awe came with the identity of a general, and also with a strange and unfamiliar feeling. After all, when they were young, Qin Fang left home to serve in the army, so it was inevitable that they were unfamiliar and strange. But for Qin Shouye, they had respect and admiration for their elder brother.
All along, they regarded Qin Shouye as their eldest brother. They followed him when they were young, and they believed whatever he said. Seeing Qin Shouye come back with a heavy face, the two of them were very upset. Qin Shoucheng asked with concern: "Second brother, what's wrong?"
Niu Dan also asked: "Second brother, didn't you go to get the medicine? Where is the medicine?"
Qin Shouye glanced at Niu Dan and said, "Miss Li doesn't have the medicine Shoucheng needs. Go get it later when it's ready. Miss Li said Shoucheng's health is fine, so it's okay to take the medicine later."
Qin Shoucheng heard this and said quickly, "Brother, I'm in good health. I just ate a little bit of heat. It's okay. I don't need to take medicine. And look, I feel much better now. I'm fine."
After hearing what he said, Qin Shoucheng was even more certain that what Miss Li said was right. It was not that Miss Li's medical skills were not good, but that Shoucheng was really pretending to be sick. Look at how relieved and anxious he was when he heard that there was no medicine.
