Mistakenly recognized as a cousin, thousands of pampered

The doctor's fingers were on Xie Yushu's wrist, taking his pulse attentively, but his brows were inadvertently furrowed tighter and tighter. The deep wrinkles seemed like ravines, making people feel uneasy.

As the doctor's expression changed, Xie Yushu and Tao Jiuxi's hearts also hung high in the air. They stared at the doctor closely, their eyes full of tension.

"Did the girl take anything cold?" the doctor asked slowly.

Xie Yushu was slightly startled, and the horrible scene when he first arrived at the brothel instantly emerged in his mind.

At that time, the madam sent someone to force her to drink several bowls of medicine. After the medicine entered her stomach, she felt unbearable abdominal pain.

During those days, she suffered from severe abdominal pain and was tortured in various ways by the people sent by the brothel owner. The shame and pain in her heart almost overwhelmed her, and she had no intention of caring about what medicine she drank.

"I... I don't know what it was exactly. I just remember that I accidentally took some medicine once." Xie Yushu explained hesitantly, with a hint of panic in his eyes.

When the doctor saw the marks on Xie Yushu's wrists and neck and combined them with her pulse, he had actually roughly guessed what had happened to her before.

However, doctors have been practicing medicine for many years and pay attention to the three basic methods of diagnosis: observation, listening, questioning and palpation. Even if they have already made a judgment in their minds, they still have to ask again according to their medical practice habits.

At this moment, seeing Xie Yushu's hesitant look, the doctor became more certain of his guess.

"The girl accidentally ate something cold, and it must have been difficult for her to eat during this period, so her body is so weak. Fortunately, the amount she took was not much. If she can take good care of herself in the future, there should still be a possibility of pregnancy." The doctor chose his words carefully and said tactfully.

When Xie Yushu heard this, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.

Although she had just experienced so many days of inhuman torture, she was only a teenage girl after all, at the age as beautiful as a flower. How could she be willing to be depressed like this?

"When you send me back, I will get you some ointment to reduce swelling and remove blood stasis. You can bring it back for the girl to use." As the doctor spoke, he neatly put away the pulse pillow, then took out paper and pen and began to write.

"Miss, please take the medicine I prescribed for half a month and then come back for a follow-up consultation."

Ji Qingyi took the prescription and said, "Thank you very much, doctor. I'll take you back now."

Tao Jiuxi felt relieved after listening to the doctor's words. When she looked at Xie Yushu again, the deathly look in her eyes gradually faded away, and she became more lively.

Xie Yushu took the initiative to stand up and escort Ji Qingyi and the doctor to the door.

She watched the two figures slowly walk down the stairs until they disappeared at the door of the inn, then she gently closed the door.

"Yushu, do you want to eat something?" Seeing that Xie Yushu had regained some energy, Tao Jiuxi hurried forward to ask.

"No, I'm not hungry."

Xie Yushu replied, his expression returning to its previous depressed look, then he turned and walked towards the bed.

Tao Jiuxi: “…”

Tao Jiuxi thought to herself that Xie Yushu was just pretending to be strong in front of others. Perhaps she could only relax a little when she was alone.

If this kind of thing happens to anyone, it would be like the sky is falling.

Perhaps at this moment, giving her some private space is the best option.

"Then I'll go back first. You have a good rest. If you need anything, just call me. I'll be next door to you."

Tao Jiuxi pointed to the room on the left and said.

Just as she was about to leave, she heard Xie Yushu's pleading voice: "Jiuxi, can you stay and talk to me for a while? I... I just don't want to be alone."

"it is good."

Tao Jiuxi stopped walking when he heard the voice, turned around and walked back, sat back on the stool, and asked gently, "What do you want to hear?"

"Why is my cousin with you this time?" Xie Yushu asked softly.

"what?"

Tao Jiuxi was a little surprised. She originally thought that what Xie Yushu wanted to know most was her mother's condition, or the whole process of how he rushed to Yuncheng to find her after receiving the letter, and then went through many twists and turns to save her in Chuncheng.

At the very least, it must be Pan Sanlang's whereabouts.

Seeing Tao Jiuxi's surprised expression, Xie Yushu suddenly felt embarrassed and visibly uncomfortable. She hurriedly explained, "I just... I just wanted to hear something that had nothing to do with me, so that I could temporarily get rid of the pain."

"That's it."

Tao Jiuxi hurriedly agreed, but a trace of doubt still lingered in his heart.

"Brother Yi took a long break this time, so he returned to the capital and stayed at my house..."

Tao Jiuxi roughly recounted what had happened, but she concealed the fact that Ji Qingyi and she were engaged, nor did she mention Ji Qingyi's love for her. She simply talked about how they went together to find the child.

After Tao Jiuxi finished speaking, Xie Yushu looked at Tao Jiuxi with a complicated look in his eyes.

"Why are you staring at me?" Tao Jiuxi asked curiously.

Xie Yushu then slowly said, "You are kind-hearted and willing to lend a hand to a child you don't even know. So even if it wasn't me who was in trouble this time, you would still help me, right?"

Tao Jiuxi was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to respond. At this moment, she just felt helpless.

Although I can't say I'm very busy these days, I still have things to do.

For Xie Yushu's sake, more than a dozen people worked day and night for more than ten days. Although they did not expect Xie Yushu's gratitude, they did not expect to receive such a sentence in return. It really made people feel uncomfortable.

"Sometimes I really envy you. You were born a concubine's daughter, but because your mother remarried, you became a legitimate daughter. After coming to the capital, you have so many men around you to protect you. The high and mighty Duke Shen listens to your every word, and my brother, who is always the center of attention, is also deeply in love with you."

"Just like now, as a girl from the boudoir, even if you want to leave the capital, you can do so easily, and you have your cousin and Duke Shen to protect you. Why is your life so good?"

As Xie Yushu spoke, his face was full of undisguised envy, and at the same time, his undisguised jealousy was also revealed.

Tao Jiuxi took a deep breath, trying to suppress her inner emotions. She spoke in a slightly serious tone, "Xie Yushu, please don't say things like 'you're surrounded by so many men,' as it will damage a woman's reputation. Many people have made great efforts to come out of Beijing to rescue you. I know you've been through a lot, but your current situation is better than before. Don't dwell on it now and get some rest."

After saying that, Tao Jiuxi stood up, looking a little tired, and then said: "I'm also very tired after rushing all the way here. I'll go back first."

"Then I won't see you off. Please close the door for me when you leave." Xie Yushu heard the displeasure in Tao Jiuxi's tone, but he didn't react much when he saw her leaving.

She was just untying her hair that had just been done, her eyes a little empty, and no one knew what she was thinking.
