Chapter 114: Sending Silver Over

  Secular Martial Arts of 1434

  The old man packed up his medical box, walked to the table and called out to Rui Xuan, "Go prepare some paper for me, I'll write a prescription and get some medicine ready. She doesn't have to drink it if she doesn't want to, just make sure she doesn't scratch herself."

  After he nodded solemnly, I handed him the prescription and said, "Alright, go get the medicine according to this."

  At this moment, Mr. Zhao was overjoyed and didn't know what to do with himself, looking at him in a daze. Chen Tian helped the old man up and said, "This matter, I really don't know how to thank you enough, I..."

  A Chinese character was speaking and suddenly choked up.

  Patting his hand, the old doctor smiled and said: "Stop crying quickly, let the child see you laughing at yourself, don't think you owe me, wait until this girl is better and then think of something delicious to eat, don't forget to send the first one to me."

  Hehe, after messing around for half a day, this old man is also a foodie.

  He was escorted to the door, and a group of people watched as he got into the carriage. As the vehicle gradually disappeared from view, Chen Tianfa pinched himself hard, wondering if this was all just a dream. This day had been full of dramatic ups and downs, it was truly too stimulating.

  Back in the yard, I thought that from yesterday to now, no one in the house had a good meal. Now just rummage through something and make do with it.

  In the room, Zhao's eyes welled up with tears again as she looked at Xi Mei, who had applied some ointment and was now somewhat calm.

  This little girl, growing up is really a worry.

  Zheng patted her back and comforted her, saying, "It's okay, the storm has passed, don't be so down in the dumps. Go wash up and take a rest, we can't have you getting sick on this big holiday."

  Zhao nodded and thought of his own behavior, also laughing uncontrollably.

  It was as if she had been dreaming for a very, very long time. In her dream, Xi Mei heard the anxious cries of her brothers and sisters, the sobbing of her parents, and the footsteps of many people coming and going.

  And she opened her eyes again, it was being woken up by a wave of itchiness.

  The word "daughter" had just been spoken when she was startled by her own hoarse voice.

  How did it become like this all of a sudden?

  Hearing her cry, the sound of hurried footsteps came from afar and drew near.

  Straining his eyes open, he saw his own old father standing in front of him.

  Watching Chen Tianfa walk in, Xi Mei curiously stretched her head to look behind him, "Dad, where's mom?"

  As soon as Xiaoyao opened her mouth to look for her mother, Chen Tianfa's heart was a knot. Isn't it said that daughters are close to their fathers? Why is his own daughter looking for her mother the moment she opens her eyes?

  "Your mother is tired and has gone to rest. If you want something to eat, just tell your father." Chen Tian said with a smile.

  Originally healthy and robust, Chen Tianfa was already very fond of his sister, but then this happened, and now he's even more doting on her.

  "Dad, I'm itchy." After finishing speaking, Xi Mei stretched out her own small paws, wanting to scratch the itchy place on her body.

  "Hey, don't go." It wasn't just Chen Tianfa, but also Zheng Shi, who had rushed into the house after hearing the commotion, opened her mouth to stop him.

  "Silly girl, if you're not afraid of being left with scars in the future, then scratch away, scratch until your face is full of scars. Let's see who will marry you then." Zheng Shi said with a pretended calmness, teasing her.

  "Dry mother, why is my body so itchy?" Looking at the adult who wouldn't let her scratch, Xi Mei leaned against the wooden pillar behind her, trying to relieve the itch by rubbing.

  Zheng took a step forward, wrapped his arms around her body, and scolded, "You, can't you just listen for once? You've got chickenpox now, be honest with me or else you'll end up with scars all over your face."

  "What? I've got acne?" No wonder my skin has been itching so much.

  She had just finished speaking when she suddenly thought of something else, "Quickly, bring me a mirror, I want to take a look." Seeing her sudden excitement, several people couldn't bear to refuse and handed her a copper mirror.

  "Here is the mirror, take a look yourself." Zheng said, placing the copper mirror in front of her.

  At first, I dared not look at myself in the mirror with my eyes closed, but as soon as I opened them, a face full of acne scared me to death.

  I remember when I was in the orphanage, a little boy got chickenpox and recovered after a week, but his face was left with scars all over, ruining his good looks.

  Looking at her with her eyes closed and a weak little appearance, she successfully made the few people in the house laugh. Zheng deliberately said, "Forget it, if you don't look, I'll just take it away?"

  Take one step forward, pretending to take away the mirror, Zheng said with a smile.

  "Hey, don't be like this, I'm just looking, can't I?" Xi Mei hastily hugged the mirror.

  No way, as a stinky beauty of a little girl, how can I not care about my own beauty?

  Slowly opening her eyes, she looked at herself in the copper mirror.

  Then, "Hmmm" let out a sigh.

  Thank goodness, I didn't end up growing into a pockmarked girl after all.

  Look at this girl, she knows she's sick but instead of asking about her illness, she wants to look at her own face first.

  But it's understandable, kids will be kids, especially those little girls who pay more attention to their appearance.

  She felt a deep sigh, and several people beside her all laughed.

  She glanced into the house and only then noticed her long-unseen older brother. She didn't want the mirror anymore, casually throwing it aside, and exclaimed in surprise: "Older brother, you're back?"

  Rui Xuan chuckled and walked forward, gently tapping her small upturned nose, saying warmly: "You, how could I not come back after something like this happened? Don't scare your parents like that again next time."

  She playfully stuck out her tongue and said with a feigned displeasure, "This isn't what I wanted, who wants to lie in bed anyway."

  Then she rolled her eyes and curiously asked: "By the way, why is our home so quiet today? Where are my second brother and sisters?"

  It shouldn't be like this, I'm sick and Second Sister's temper would definitely make her fuss over me for a while, but it's been so long now, how come no one has come except my eldest brother?

  Later, Zhao's family member came over and tucked her in, hinting that she should behave herself. "Your sisters will all be back soon, just calm down."

  When you have chickenpox, you can't be exposed to wind, but this girl is acting as if she's afraid of not being able to catch a glimpse of the wind.

  The obedient one lay on the bed, letting his mother wrap him up tightly and coquettishly said: "Mother, I'm so hungry, I want to eat meat."

  This girl is a thoroughbred carnivore, no sooner had she gone without meat for a short while than she couldn't bear it anymore.

  Zheng patted her cloak and smiled, "You're still thinking of eating meat? For the next two days, we can't eat those things, we have to eat something light. You'll just have to bear with it."

  After finishing speaking, he instructed the servant who followed him, "Go to the mansion and instruct the cook to prepare some light food for Fourth Miss. Also, prepare a few more dishes and bring them over."

  Everyone has been busy for so long and hasn't had a good meal yet, let alone the little girl who can't bear hunger.

  "I'm saying, this time it's all because of that trouble-making doctor. He was afraid to speak out himself, but he scared these people half to death. No way, can't just let him off like this." Chen Tianfa came back to his senses and remembered the doctor who had been talking nonsense yesterday.

  "No way, I've got to teach him a lesson," Chen Tianfa was thinking, just as he was about to go out and find trouble with someone.

  Just as he was about to rush out, Zhao thought of calling him back, but just as she opened her mouth, she was stopped by Zheng beside her. Zheng comforted her, saying: "Forget it, let him go, doesn't he need to vent his anger?"

  It's also reasonable to think about it, and Zhao didn't bother with him either.

  Just as Chen Tianfa was about to go out, the sound of horseshoes came from outside the door. Zheng looked at Zhao and asked in puzzlement: "So soon?"

  It seems everyone thought it was the food delivery guy who came.

  Outside the door, Prince Wang Heng hastily handed over the whip in his hand to Erzi, tidied up the cloak on his body, and strode towards the courtyard.

  It just so happened that they ran into Chen Tianfa who was about to go out, and Wang Ziheng asked anxiously: "Uncle Chen, what's going on? I heard that Ximai..."

  Chen Tian waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, just a false alarm. He just got chickenpox, it's no big deal."

  Thus, Wang Zihan finally put his mind at ease and looked at Chen Tianfa who was preparing to go out, curiously asking: "Uncle Chen, what's with this getup..."

  At this mention, Chen Tianfa's face turned red with anger and said: "I want to go find that doctor and have a good talk with him, don't let him harm others again."

  Having said that, he walked around him and went outside.

  The prince hinted with his eyes that Er'er had just tied up the horse and followed him, don't let him suffer a loss.

  However, Chen Tianfa didn't know that someone had already taken revenge for him last night. They threw the doctor into a snow pile and he's been lying there for over an hour, still paralyzed in bed now.

  Watching his figure disappear from view, Wang Zihan only then remembered the purpose of her visit, smiled to herself, and turned around to head towards Xi Mei's house.

  "Aunt, Zhao Aunt." Entering the house, he first greeted the two of them before turning to look at his younger sister who was lying in bed, covered with thick blankets, and asked with concern: "Little girl, how are you?"

  Glaring at him with a bad temper, she said coquettishly: "Can't you see?!"

  Nuo Nuo, look at that disdainful little gaze of yours.

  "Xǐ mèi!" Zhao scolded her, then apologetically looked at Wang Ziheng and said: "This little girl doesn't understand things, Young Master Wang please don't mind."

  Wang Zihan shook his head with a good temper and said to Xi Mei, "Xi Mei, I'm here to tell you the good news. If you don't listen, I'll leave."

  After finishing speaking, he pretended to turn around and leave.

  "Hey, wait a minute." Hurriedly calling out to him, Xi Mei casually asked, "Forget it, since you're here, I'll reluctantly listen. What's the good news?"

  Although the tone is particularly disdainful, his eyes keep stealing glances at him.

  Wang Zihan pretended not to see, coughed mysteriously and said: "Isn't it almost New Year's? I've come to give you some silver."

  As expected, after finishing speaking, she looked at Xi Mei carefully, and that little girl's eyes suddenly sparkled.

  "How much silver? How much silver?" Xi Mei hastily called out.
