Chapter 87: Seeking Medicine - Rebirth of the Noble Daughter

 Chapter 87: Seeking Medicine

Feng Yunhe knew that now there were only him and his younger brother in the family. If anything happened to his younger brother, suspicion would naturally fall on him. Yet even so, he didn't want anyone close to him to harbor any doubts.

His amber-like clear eyes showed a hint of timidity at the moment, which pained Feng Jinyao.

From childhood to adulthood, the overly strict paternal love had planted shadows in his heart. She reached out and held Feng Yunhe's hand, conveying her warmth to him.

"Yunhe, form is temporary, but integrity is lasting. You will be the one to support this family in the future. If you worry about what others think of you in everything you do, you will only be timid and indecisive. Do you understand?"

Feng Yunhe stubbornly looked at her, understanding the reasoning, but still needing her firm reassurance to feel at ease.

He was very worried. Worried about his father, his second uncle, and aunt seeing his younger brother's condition and potentially becoming biased against him.

Would all his past efforts be in vain again?

"And remember, your aunt believes in you."

The word 'believe' was pronounced firmly, with an encouraging expression on her face.

Upon hearing Feng Jinyao's words, Feng Yunhe finally let his tears, which he had been holding back, flow down. However strong he tried to be, he was still just a six-year-old child who needed care and concern at times.

"Let's go, Auntie. Let's go see my younger brother."

He wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, his gaze clear and determined.

Inside the room, the family doctor was administering acupuncture to Yunli. His chubby cheeks were unusually flushed, clearly indicating a fever.

Feng Jinlin sat by the bed, looking at this nephew whom he wasn't very familiar with, feeling deeply emotional.

One wrong step by the elder brother, and every subsequent step became difficult.

The internal struggles of the concubines in the backyard had finally brought disaster to their offspring. They were still so young, yet one suffered from illness and pain, while the other's heart was shattered. Feng Jinlin couldn't help but worry.

The family doctor was quick and precise with the acupuncture needles. By the seventh needle, Yunli groaned and then spat out some saliva, his breathing gradually calming down.

Taking a deep breath, the family doctor began to remove the needles, then wrote a prescription and handed it to Madam Wen.

"Madam, this is the prescription. He needs to take it three times a day. We need to expel the cold from his body, otherwise it might damage his heart and lungs, leading to other illnesses in the future."

"Good, I will take care of him with all my might."

After speaking, she handed the prescription to Yuegui, ordering her to immediately fetch the herbs and prepare them without delay.

Yuegui knew that Madam Wen's actions were a gamble. If she could successfully save Second Young Master, everyone in the Feng family would be grateful to her. But if...

No, there couldn't be any ifs. She had finally risen above her circumstances, and at this critical moment, she couldn't afford to make any mistakes.

She held the prescription in her hand, wasting no time and immediately left the mansion to fetch the herbs.

"When I was at my mother's house, I heard that the most taboo thing for a child who has fallen into the water is a high fever that doesn't go away. Many people who wake up from such a fever can become mentally impaired. Doctor, what about Second Young Master..."

Madam Wen wasn't worried about taking care of Yunli; her only fear was that the high fever would damage his brain. If he became mentally impaired, it would ruin Yunli's entire life.

The family doctor's expression was grave. He couldn't guarantee this matter one hundred percent, he could only do his best.

Feng Jinyao listened on, hesitating for a while, considering whether to invite doctor Zhang the divine doctor from Guiyuan Hall. But what about Yunhe? In his previous life, he passed away from illness. Doctor Zhang would not easily intervene. She had always held this concern, worried that Yunli might not make it, but if Yunli became mentally impaired, wouldn't she be just standing by?

"Don't worry, Yunli is blessed by our Feng family ancestors. Nothing will happen to him. Sister-in-law, I trouble you to take care of him more. I will go and seek medicine!" Feng Jinlin hadn't spoken for a long time. After hearing Madam Wen's words, he also began to think.

Covering Yunli with the blanket, small and round, although he looked chubby, he seemed extremely weak.

There was a hint of determination in his eyes, and then he hurriedly left the courtyard and headed outside the mansion.

No one knew where he went or whom he sought out. It was only early the next day that he returned with a red porcelain bottle and delivered it to the courtyard of the main house.

The family doctor next to Madam Wen shook out a pill, sniffed it, and after a while was delighted, "It's Buddha's heart fruit! With this medicine, even if Second Young Master's body burns hot all over, he can be saved."

Hearing this, Madam Wen and Zhu Jin held hands and were overjoyed.

Last night, they had taken turns taking care of Yunli. Although he hadn't had a high fever, his temperature hadn't dropped either.

Worried that her previous thoughts would come true, Madam Wen was anxious, but now it was all resolved with this medicine.

She immediately brought water, tore the medicine pill into small pieces, and stuffed them bit by bit into Yunli's dried mouth.

After burning all night, his lips were even peeling.

The medicine went down with the water, and Yunli muttered a few words, then slightly opened his eyes and looked around before falling asleep again.

Zhu Jin looked worriedly beside him. "Doctor, when will this medicine take effect? Second Young Master opened his eyes and didn't even look at us before falling asleep again."

With this medicine, the family doctor was finally relieved. The emotions that had been tense all night finally relaxed, and he even smiled.

"Don't worry, Miss Zhu Jin. This medicine will take some time to take effect. After about an hour, Second Young Master's fever will definitely go down!"

As the family doctor said, after an hour, Second Young Master's fever finally subsided. He was covered in cold sweat, looking like he had just been pulled out of the water.

Worried that he would catch a cold, Madam Wen quickly had someone change his clean clothes and bedding, gave him some warm water, and finally he woke up.

When Feng Yunli saw Madam Wen, he was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears.

No matter how mischievous he had been in the past, he was just a four-year-old child who felt despair when he fell into that icy pool, calling out to heaven and earth without response.

Madam Wen sighed and thought of many things in the past.

She didn't have much sincere affection for this unexpected child.

Originally, taking care of him was also to suppress Concubine Lin, and at the same time make Father feel guilty towards her.

Unexpectedly, his crying now made her feel a little ashamed. What did adults' affairs have to do with children? Thinking of this, she stepped forward and hugged him in her arms, humming the nursery rhymes she used to hear when she was a child, soothing him to calm down.

Madam Wen had a comforting aura, and Yunli's crying gradually diminished in her embrace, gradually weakening and falling asleep again.

Zhu Jin looked at him, her nose somewhat sour.

The family doctor watched from the side and was deeply impressed by Madam's demeanor.

Even a niece's child could be cherished as her own child, and this couldn't be faked.

On the other hand, after returning to his own courtyard, Feng Jinlin looked somewhat weary, his whole person cold and unbearable, as if he was being oppressed by some heavy burden and couldn't catch his breath.

Almost fell to the ground, but fortunately Yin Canwen quickly pulled him up.

Looking worriedly at his pale face, he asked, "Brother Feng, are you okay?"
