Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

After Dong Zhu left, Shen Qiu asked worriedly, "Miss, what if the master asks another doctor to come and diagnose your pulse?"

Mu Tangxi did not show any anxiety at all. She lay quietly on the bed, her eyes moving from the roof to Shen Qiu.

She was a little surprised about Shen Qiu. In his previous life, he was not the kind-hearted man he looked in front of her.

Is it because he is still young?

"Then I'll need you."

The girl's light words made Shen Qiu wonder if he was hallucinating.

How on earth did he get dragged into these disputes in the mansion? As expected, being a doctor is inevitable to encounter such things!

Shen Qiu took a deep breath and asked, "Then how can I help you, young lady?"

Shen Qiu now understands that he has no way out.

"Well... Actually, you don't need to do anything. As long as father knows that I won't burn to death, he won't care about anything else."

"This may be your chance to rise to prominence."

Shen Qiu listened to the girl pondering for a long time, but he was calm deep down in his heart. Anyway, he had been dragged into this, and he had no say in what he did.

But after hearing the young lady's last sentence, Shen Qiu raised his head abruptly. Although he had no idea why the young lady did this, who wouldn't want to rise to the top?

Although there are some risks, if he succeeds, he won't have to wait for his qualifications anymore!

"Yes." Shen Qiu's eyes were filled with unconcealable ambition.

Mu Tangxi likes ambitious people, who will often do whatever it takes to pursue their goals. As long as you grasp their ambitions, you can get their help.

Between going to see the master first or the mistress first, Dongzhu chose the master without hesitation. The mistress had visited the young lady before, but the master was the only one she hadn't visited.

Dongzhu felt that the young lady probably wanted the master to go see her.

Prime Minister Mu was not surprised at all when he learned that his daughter had a high fever. He slowly put down the brush in his hand, got up and went to his daughter's yard.

Before her father arrived, Mu Tangxi instructed Shen Qiu to get rouge from the dressing table.

She stretched out her hand, took a little and spread it on her face, which turned red as if it was burned.

This was the first time that Shen Qiu witnessed the methods used in the mansion. After all, he was an orphan and had been raised by his master since he was a child.

He secretly wrote these down so that he could pretend to be sick in the future.

Wait, his master is also a doctor...

If you pretend to be sick in front of the doctor, you may be discovered.

Shen Qiu's mood was low for a moment, causing Mu Tangxi to look at him strangely.

After Mu Tangxi fixed the color on her face, she obediently covered herself with the quilt, lay straight on the floor, and finally closed her eyes.

If Shen Qiu hadn't been here all the time, at first glance I would have thought that the young lady was seriously ill.

The lady's jet-black hair makes her skin look even paler, and the rouge on her face makes her look even more fragile.

Shen Qiu calculated the time and it was time for the master to come, so he quickly retreated to the door to guard. If the master found out that he was the only man in his daughter's room with no maid around, he would have already thought about where to bury him.

Not long after, Shen Qiu saw Prime Minister Mu slowly approaching. He quickly lowered his head and acted very humble.

Prime Minister Mu didn't pay much attention to the doctor and went in directly.

Shen Qiu followed the master in, fearing that he would find out that the young lady was pretending to be sick. Oh, no, the young lady really had a fever, but it was not a high fever.

Thinking of this, Shen Qiu felt a little more relieved.

As long as the master didn't call another doctor to see him, no flaws would be discovered.

Prime Minister Mu lowered his eyes to look at his beautiful and well-behaved daughter. Her face was flushed red at the moment, as if she couldn't bear it anymore.

He scolded softly, "Xi'er was burned like this, and you just watched!"

Shen Qiu suppressed his excitement and replied, "Master, I have checked the young lady's pulse. Now we just need to wait for the medicine to be boiled and drink it."

Prime Minister Mu stared at Mu Tangxi for a long time, then suddenly reached out to touch her forehead.

Shen Qiu, who was standing nearby, twitched his fingers suddenly. He lowered his head and watched the master's actions with his peripheral vision, muttering in his heart, is the Prime Minister worried about the young lady, or is the Prime Minister suspicious of the young lady?

A cold hand was placed on Mu Tangxi's hot forehead. Under the cold stimulation, her breathing frequency did not change, and even her eyeballs under her eyelids did not move.

It was as if she had really been burned and fainted.

Prime Minister Mu paused for a moment, with an inexplicable look on his face. He withdrew his hand and turned back to say, "Treat Xi'er well, and I will reward you handsomely later."

"Yes."

Prime Minister Mu only stayed for a while before leaving.

Dong Zhu waited for a while before coming in. She approached the young lady's bed and whispered, "Young lady, when I went to report to the lady, I was stopped outside the door. The lady's personal maid Yuping said that the lady had already gone to bed."

She paused and continued, "And Yuping also said that Madam has been overworked today and has a headache, so it is inconvenient for her to come visit Miss."

Dong Zhu immediately looked at the young lady after he finished speaking, with worry in his eyes.

Shen Qiu looked at Dong Zhu in surprise. The madam didn't even come to see the young lady. Was this Yuping's decision or... the madam's intention?

This was also within Mu Tangxi's expectations. After all, her mother had come to see her today, right?

Now that her father and mother have come to see her, all she has to do next is wait for her to recover and "wake up" tomorrow.

"Dongzhu, go get me a basin of water."

"Okay, miss."

Dong Zhu was relieved to see that the young lady was not sad about this.

After Dong Zhu left, the room fell silent. Shen Qiu didn't know what to say, so he could only remain silent.

Mu Tangxi was simply sleepy. She still had the body of a ten-year-old and was already running a fever, but she waited until dark on purpose.

After a moment, Mu Tangxi asked in a gentle voice, "Do you know any way to remove the eyes and preserve them?"

To be honest, she was quite curious.

After hearing this, Shen Qiu froze on the spot, his pupils dilated, and his breathing became difficult. How could she know!

Mu Tangxi saw that Shen Qiu didn't reply, but she didn't continue to ask questions. She just waited for his response with interest.

Shen Qiu slowly came back to his senses. He loosened his clenched hands, raised his head and tried to stare calmly into the young lady's amber eyes that seemed to understand everything, but his attention was still shaken.

He swallowed his dry throat, avoided those eyes, and replied, "I have never heard of this method that Miss is talking about."

"Oh? Really? Then you can leave. I need to rest."

"……Yes."

Shen Qiu didn't know whether the young lady would fulfill her promise after leaving.

But there was no way he could tell anyone about that method. It was an evil recipe passed down from his ancestors and must not be known to anyone else.

Otherwise it will bring about fatal disaster.

Mu Tangxi looked at Shen Qiu's back dejectedly. She became even more curious if he didn't say anything.
