Chapter 21: My subordinate since childhood
Wei Chengye looked at Jiang Yao's embarrassed expression, reached into his pocket and stuffed some money, whispering to her to comfort her.
"See how much you can come up with, and I'll help you with the rest."
"You have money?" Jiang Yao opened her eyes wide in surprise. Wei Chengye had just delivered the luggage here and followed her to see a doctor. He didn't even go home. Where did the money come from?
Seeing that Jiang Yao didn't believe him, Wei Chengye simply stuffed his wallet into Jiang Yao's hand and said, "Last time you asked me to help you buy herbs, I got the silver I got from the prey I hunted during this period at the inn."
Jiang Yao was not polite and quickly took out the silver from the purse, handed it to the servant, and then returned the remaining silver to Wei Chengye.
"Brother Wei, thank you so much. I will remember your kindness and will definitely pay you back when I have saved enough money."
"I'm not in a hurry, don't worry, even if it's the meal you owe me."
"Well, I'll cook next time."
The two took the medicinal materials and, following Doctor Li's instructions, sent their sister home.
Seeing her sister's pale face, Jiang Yao clenched her fists.
Old Mrs. Jiang is so cruel!
He actually stole my food while I was away and hurt my sister. I will never be able to swallow this vengeance.
However, my sister is not well yet, so I still have to look after her. She is from the 21st century, and if anything happens, she might be able to help.
Since we can’t deal with the old lady now, let’s deal with her beloved son!
With this thought in mind, Jiang Yao occasionally went out to see if Jiang Xuean had returned home.
But until the evening, Jiang Xue'an still didn't show up. No one knew whether he was hiding at Old Lady Jiang's place or had gone somewhere else to play.
It was getting late, and Jiang Yao didn't want to keep others waiting here, so she stayed.
In a daze, she heard someone talking at the head of the bed.
"Sister! My body hurts!"
Jiang Yao immediately became interested, rubbed her sister's face, and comforted her softly.
However, before she could say anything, she was shocked to find that her sister's face had turned extremely red!
She suddenly remembered that Dr. Li had never given her sister any cold medicine, so even if she looked for a doctor, she probably wouldn't be able to find one.
Therefore, she had to think of a way to calm her sister down.
Jiang Yao hurriedly took deep breaths before she calmed down.
Alcohol lowers body temperature.
However, she soon remembered that because she sold a good piece of stinky tofu today, she replaced all her wine with new brine.
Not a drop is left.
Jiang Yao was a little worried after leaving the room and leaving her sister alone.
Just when she was about to wake up her mother and let her have a good rest, the door was suddenly pushed open. Seeing Jiang Yao was about to go out, Mrs. Lu's face immediately turned ugly.
"What's going on? What are you doing?"
"My sister has a fever. I'll go get some wine to calm her down. Mom, take good care of my sister. I'll be right there."
After telling the story, Jiang Yao said no more and rushed straight out.
It was getting late, Jiang Yao was anxious, and just as she walked out of the alley, she met someone.
A familiar smell wafted from her nose, she looked up and saw a familiar face.
"What are you doing out there alone at night? Aren't you afraid of running into bad people?"
Wei Chengye looked at him with a hint of reproach, and when he recalled the day when Zhang Laizi came to cause trouble, his eyebrows suddenly raised.
Jiang Yao was so anxious that she didn't bother to say anything more. She grabbed his sleeve and said, "Brother Wei, I was just about to go over to see if you have any wine at home. I need it urgently."
"Yes, I'll get it for you later."
The two of them quickened their pace and rushed home, while explaining the reason why they were out so late at night.
Wei Chengye went into the mountains this time just to get his own things.
These wild animals like to be active at night, and if he is not there, they will easily be snatched away by those cunning hunters.
Jiang Yao saw that he returned empty-handed and guessed that Wei Chengye had already moved his prey to another place in advance. Otherwise, it would not be good to carry so much luggage in such a dark night.
The Wei family members were all asleep. Wei Chengye knew their personalities, so he poured the wine gently so as not to disturb them. Soon, Jiang Yao was served a glass of white wine.
Wei Chengye thought that the Jiang family were all women, so he sent Jiang Yao to the door and went home.
Jiang Yao thanked her and quickly handed the glass of wine to her sister.
When Mrs. Lu saw this scene, she was shocked. Could this wine be used in this way?
Although Lu was puzzled, she did not stop them. Instead, she and Jiang Yao cleaned up the water in the river.
Unexpectedly, after several times, Jiang Xin's body temperature slowly dropped and she soon fell asleep.
Mrs. Lu was afraid that something might happen to her little daughter, so she refused to go back to rest. She stayed in the room with Jiang Yao to help look after the little girl.
Seeing the two maids standing on her left and right, Mrs. Lu couldn't help but shift her gaze to Jiang Yao, and she had an idea in her mind.
Since she woke up, the eldest daughter seemed to have become smarter and her temper became smarter. I wonder if she had been hiding her strength before? Or did she have another adventure?
Isn't it the same?
Lu thought about it for a long time, but in the end she didn't ask.
As they were thinking, the sky outside started to brighten. Lu and Jiang Yao looked at each other tiredly and both smiled.
Last night, he helped his sister apply some alcohol to calm her down, and now it seems that she is sleeping soundly.
The sound of three roosters crowing came from outside the door. Sister Jiang He slowly opened her eyes and saw Jiang Yao with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
"Sister!" she shouted.
"How is it? Are you feeling better?"
Jiang Yao smiled gently, reached out and pressed her sister's head to make sure her body temperature was safe, then she carefully picked her sister up.
Jiang Xin glanced at Jiang Yao, then at her mother. Her eyes curved into crescents, but with an indescribable gloom.
"I'm much better now. Thank you, mother and sister, for your concern. I was reckless and made you worry. I won't do it again."
Jiang Yao looked at Old Lady Jiang and felt a pang in her heart. She also made up her mind to get this matter done.
Jiang Yao patted her sister's head and said in a fake scolding tone, "What are you talking about? As a sister, shouldn't I pay more attention to you?"
"Similarly, if my sister gets sick in the future, you must take good care of her. Could it be that you don't want to help my sister, so you don't want me to be so kind to you?"
"No!" Jiang Xin shook his head.
Jiang Xin waved her hands repeatedly and said, "I'm just... I'm afraid of getting you into trouble."
"Don't let your imagination run wild. It's not your fault that you got hurt this time. If you want to blame someone, blame it on Old Madam Jiang for being so unkind." Jiang Yao rubbed her sister's rosy face, stood up, and walked out the door.
"You still need to use this medicine. I'm going to go out first. I'll make you some tonic in the afternoon."
"Thank you very much, sister."
Jiang Yaoxin's round eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and she swore secretly in her heart.
She must become strong so that her mother and sisters won't worry about her, and no one will come to trouble her!
