Chapter 117: Administering Medicine

  Compared with the quietness of Yunxi's room, Yunjingchu was screaming in her room so loudly that almost everyone in the whole courtyard could hear.

  "Ah... it hurts so much. Don't touch me. There's no thorn... where is the thorn... go away..."

  Mrs Zhao, who had heard everything, quietly ordered someone to burn those two cushions and replace them with normal ones.

  When Yun Xiaoyu finished removing the needles, he remembered to verify the futon, but the futon was already gone. Yun Xiaoyu could only secretly conclude that Zhao's mother had been absent-minded for a few days and accidentally moved both futons with her hands.

  On the second day, Yun Jing woke up and cried with red eyes, found Yun Yu Wei, and asked to return to Jingxiu Garden.

  "Fourth sister, my knee suddenly hurts a lot, I want to go back." Yun Jingchu said, looking at Yun Taoyu with a worried expression.

  "No way, you've only been here for less than a day and you're already leaving. Everyone in the Yun household is watching. Do you want to give Fifth Sister a reputation for being unfilial?" Yun Suai's words were firm and decisive.

  She still has many tricks up her sleeve and of course won't let her go.

  "After I knelt down yesterday, I also felt knee pain, and I didn't shout everywhere that it wasn't." After finishing speaking, Yun Xiaoyu also painfully furrowed his brow.

  Yun Saiyu's performance was completely natural. Last night, due to knee pain, she didn't sleep all night, so now Yun Saiyu's face is pale and her dark circles are thick enough to rival smoky makeup.

  "I understand, Fourth Sister." Yun Jing's eyebrows furrowed in worry as she lowered her head.

  Yun Jingchu naturally knew that Yun Xiaoyu still had many tricks up her sleeve waiting for her, she pretended to leave, just acting.

  Yun Sai's eyes sparkled slightly as she took a step forward, warmly grasping Yun Jingchu's arm and smiling with kindness. "Alright, the imperial physician has already found an antidote for Mother, so since your knee is uncomfortable, why don't you go to the kitchen to help with brewing the medicine? You can sit there without having to move."

  Yun Jing's face turned awkward, "But I don't know how to decoct medicine."

  "You don't have to lift a finger, just sitting there and showing your filial piety is enough." Yun Saiyu smiled and pulled Yun Jingchu towards the kitchen.

  Biling and Bihuo were about to follow when they were stopped by Zhao's mother, who sent them out to buy things.

  Two people limped and hobbled into the kitchen, only to find a middle-aged mother already there making fire. The mother had a round face and a kind expression.

  When Yun Jing first met her, she was Yun Tongyu's nanny - Qi Mama, the most trusted person by Yun Tongyu's side.

  Seeing Yun Jingchu and Yun Taixu, Qi Mama smiled and greeted: "Fourth Miss, Fifth Miss."

  "Mother Qi, Wu Mei has come to help mother decoct medicine, you teach her." As he spoke, Yun Suoyu pushed Yun Jingchu forward.

  "Yes, Fourth Miss, Fifth Miss has arrived just in time. I was just about to prepare medicine for the mistress." Qi Mama said with a smile.

  Yun Jingchu was left behind, and Yun Siluo limped away with a crutch.

  "Miss Wu, please sit down. I'll prepare medicine for the mistress right away." Qi Mama brought over a small stool and asked Yun Suoyu to sit by the stove.

  Put the medicine-soaked pot on the fire, and Qima squatted down to start chatting with Yun Jingchu in a casual manner. While chatting, she taught Yun Jingchu how to watch the fire. Gradually, she began teaching Yun Jingchu how to add firewood, with a kind and gentle expression.

  "Oh no……" Suddenly, Qi Mama clutched her stomach and bent down, "Fifth Miss, I have a bit of a stomachache, I'll go to the toilet. You watch the fire here, when it goes out, we can take the pot off. If I don't come back by then, please help me bring the medicine to Madame's room."

  "But......" Yun Jingchu's face showed difficulty.

  "It's settled then, Fifth Miss. I'll be off... Oh, and one more thing: except for Zhao Mama, Second Master, and Fourth Miss, don't let anyone else into the kitchen. You know that Madame is poisoned and unconscious, and Second Master is afraid that the person behind the scenes will strike again." After reminding her, Qi Mama rushed out clutching her belly. Only Yun Jingchu was left in the kitchen.

  What's going on? Yun Jing furrowed her brow.

  "Miss Wu..." Suddenly, a little maid sneaked in, looking at Yun Jingchu with a surprised face, "Third Master sent me to deliver this and asked you to find a way to put it into Madame's medicine." The little maid said while taking out a small paper package from her sleeve and handing it over to Yun Jingchu.
