Severed ties and living in a dilapidated house? No worries, the poor thing has a space.

At that moment, Yun Xiao thought she had misheard. They had only met for the first time, and she was just a servant that Fang Yu had bought.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Fang Xin asked again when she didn't speak.

Yun Xiao suppressed her deep, dark eyes: "No, I'm not picky about food. Thank you, Second Miss."

"Another one who's not picky about food." Fang Xin muttered to herself. "Okay, you can rest first. I'll stay outside. Just call me if you need anything."

Fang Yu followed Granny Liu through several streets, and after many twists and turns, they entered an alley.

Despite the bright and sunny weather, walking through this narrow alleyway gave me a chill down my spine.

Granny Liu's residence was very old, and although it was in Qingshan City, it had a feeling that even Xishan Village could not compare to it.

"My home is bare, I hope you will forgive my poor living conditions, Miss Fang."

How could Fang Yu possibly laugh at that? She wouldn't forget that the original owner's family had also come from such an environment.

During my conversation with Granny Liu on the way here, I learned that Granny Liu had two sons, one of whom died young and the other who sacrificed his life for his country in the war a few years ago.

There is only a twelve-year-old grandson and his daughter-in-law living together in the family.

The sick person that Aunt Liu was referring to was her twelve-year-old grandson.

As soon as I pushed open the door, a strong smell of medicine hit me, mixed with an unpleasant stench.

A woman sat by the bed; she must be Granny Liu's daughter-in-law. The woman turned her head and asked, "Mother, who is this young lady?"

The woman quickly got up, and Granny Liu said, "This is my employer. She's a good person; she knows medicine, so she came to check on the child. How is Tiezhu?"

The woman wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, slowly shook her head, and said nothing; the meaning was already very clear.

Fang Yu approached and saw that the child on the bed was emaciated, and the unpleasant smell was coming from under the blanket.

Fang Yu sat down, took the child's arm to check his pulse. The child was very hot. She turned to ask Granny Liu, "How long has the child had these symptoms? Are there any other children around here with the same symptoms?"

Granny Liu was quite surprised: "Miss Fang, how did you know?"

Fang Yu then pulled back the blanket, but the woman stopped her, saying, "Miss, please don't..."

Fang Yu had already lifted the blanket, revealing a small, bare-chested body under the covers. Not only was there no flesh on the body, but the entire body was covered in sores and swellings, with blackish powder smeared on it.

Fang Yu turned to look at them, and Granny Liu hurriedly explained, "This is the medicine prescribed by the doctor. We've been using it for three days, but there's still no improvement."

Fang Yu turned his gaze to the woman's face and asked, "Can you trust me?"

"letter!"

Before Granny Liu could speak, the woman spoke first. Fang Yu knew from just looking at Tie Zhu's condition that there were other children nearby with the same symptoms. They had seen many doctors but their condition hadn't improved, so they had no choice but to try anything.

Fang Yu continued, "Go prepare some hot water for the child to bathe, and make sure to wash off all the medicine on his body. Open all the doors and windows to keep the air circulating."

Fang Yu went out of the courtyard to the nearest pharmacy, grabbed a prescription, and left it with the pharmacy owner before leaving.

By the time the shopkeeper finished reading the prescription and realized what was happening, Fang Yu had already disappeared.

The shopkeeper immediately called over a waiter: "Quick, go find out where that girl went."

After the child finished bathing, Granny Liu had already brewed the medicine that Fang Yu had prepared again.

Granny Liu brought in the medicine, and Fang Yu had already applied it to the child.

Granny Liu hesitated, then said, "Miss Fang, thank you. But as you can see from my family's situation, I will definitely repay you for the money I spent on medicine later."

Fang Yu stood up and made way for the woman, who then took the medicine and fed it to the child.

After washing her hands, Fang Yu glanced at the child on the bed whose complexion was showing signs of improvement and said to Granny Liu, "Once the medicine is finished, the child should be almost fully recovered. The money will be deducted from the wages. Granny Liu, you can continue to go to the restaurant tomorrow. One person can take care of the child."

Upon hearing this, the two women were about to kneel down to express their gratitude, but Fang Yu stopped them, saying, "Don't kneel yet, let's wait until the child recovers."

……

With the Mid-Autumn Festival approaching, colorful lanterns are hung on both sides of the street.

Back at the restaurant, as soon as Fang Yu stepped into the lobby, a variety of delicious aromas wafted over. She took a small sip; it tasted like chicken soup.

"Sister!" Fang Xin ran out like a gust of wind, carrying a bowl of fresh chicken soup. "Sister, you're back just in time! Come and try the chicken soup I made."

Fang Yu glanced at the kitchen area: "You probably made more than just chicken soup, right?"

"Hehe." Fang Xin scratched her head and chuckled foolishly: "Nothing can be hidden from my sister."

The waiters carried trays out of the kitchen in an orderly fashion, and the table was filled with colorful and delicious dishes.

Fang Yu was pulled to sit down by Fang Xin: "Sister, are you hungry? It's time to eat."

In the blink of an eye, Fang Xin had already piled up a small mountain in the bowl in front of Fang Yu.

Fang Yu ate too much and leaned back in her chair, rubbing her stomach for a while. When she couldn't take it anymore, she stood up and said, "Xin'er, I'm going out to digest my food."

There were even more people on the street than before, and quite a few children were chasing and playing.

"Have you heard? A new governor will be taking office in a few days. I heard he's a good official. Does that mean we'll have better days ahead?"

I passed a tea stall and saw people discussing this matter.

With a new governor in sight, Fang Yu kept moving forward, not caring who it was, as long as it didn't affect her ability to make money.

Passing by a lantern stall, Fang Yu was drawn to the dazzling array of lanterns and stopped to take a look.

Especially the snow-white rabbit lantern, with its warm light, makes one unconsciously think of Chang'e holding the Jade Rabbit when they see it.

She was about to reach for it when a hand snatched it away faster than she could.

"Lord Xiao, it's you! What a coincidence."

Xiao Jingqi handed her the rabbit lantern: "Miss Fang, you have some free time today, why don't you have a cup of tea together?"

Fang Yu took the rabbit lantern and rubbed his stomach: "Drinking tea might not be suitable, I ate too much just now. If Lord Xiao doesn't mind, would you like to take a walk together?"

"Alright, Miss Fang, please."

The two walked side by side ahead, while Mo Jiu muttered in the shadows behind them, "What a coincidence! Master clearly followed us on purpose. He must have discovered something wrong with Miss Fang."

He was speaking very softly, but when he looked up, Xiao Jingqi, who was walking in front of him, suddenly looked in his direction.

He felt a chill run down his spine, slapped his mouth, and shrank back into the corner.

Children chasing and playing in the crowd suddenly bumped into Fang Yu. Just as she was about to dodge, her wrist was suddenly tightened, and her body was uncontrollably pulled to the side.

As he looked up, an electric current seemed to run through his nose. Their eyes met, and Fang Yu slowly curved his lips into a smile, their breaths mingling together.

His straight nose and thick eyebrows were captivating, and my heart skipped a beat.
