Chapter 411: Dare Not Disobey

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Yu Youyao drank a cup and said to the doctor, “Can I borrow a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone?”

The middle-aged man was about forty years old. He agreed repeatedly and even personally brought over the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone on the counter. “This is what I have. Miss, please don’t mind.”

Song Mingzhao was a little curious. “You want to write a prescription?”

Yu Youyao was proficient in pharmacology and incense fragrance. The incense pill from before had a strong fragrance. As soon as it entered his nose, he felt relieved and calm.

She had probably done this herself.

However, pharmacology and medicine were two different concepts. He had never heard that Eldest Miss Yu was proficient in medicine.

Yu Youyao shook her head. “I’m just writing some taboos that you have to pay attention to when you have asthma, as well as a daily diet.” At this point, she sighed softly and said, “Asthma can’t be cured completely, and it’s very dangerous for the symptoms to flare up. In today’s situation, if we were a little

later…”

She did not continue.

However, Song Mingzhao had just seen the child strangling his neck, rolling

his eyes, foaming at the mouth, and convulsing all over. Naturally, he understood that this was a fatal illness.

Yu Youyao continued, “Children with asthma are more sick and weak. Every time they fall ill, the child’s vitality will be injured. They need some good medicine that can strengthen the spleen and kidneys to nourish them a little. Ordinary people can’t afford it either. However, although asthma can’t be cured completely, if you pay more attention to protection usually, it can reduce the outbreak and the symptoms. In a few years, when they grow up a little, it won’t be easy for them to act up anymore. They can also help the family with some light work.”

Song Mingzhao looked at her deeply.

To ordinary people, it was easy for Yu Youyao to write a few more words.

However, to a poor family, Yu Youyao had not only saved a life, but an entire family.

Saving someone was a small kindness for a moment, but saving one’s life was a great virtue. Eldest Miss Yu had kindness and virtue in her heart. No wonder the Empress Dowager praised her for being clean and honest.

She deserved it.

The person in front of him was alive and his eyes were bright. Song Mingzhao’s gaze was deep. “Fortunately, the person they met was you.”

Eldest Miss Yu held the brush in her hand, revealing a small portion of her fair wrist. She bent it slightly, making it slender and beautiful.

Staring at the young lady’s hand, it was inevitable that it would be too abrupt. Song Mingzhao lowered his eyes and suddenly paused—

Eldest Miss Yu had written calligraphy. The words were natural, and it was already obvious. Everyone liked to praise Wang Xizhi’s calligraphy in the “Ode to the Goddess of Luo.

At this moment, he also felt that Eldest Miss Yu’s handwriting was the same. “Its shape is as graceful as a swan and as graceful as a dragon… It’s swaying, like the wind returning to the snow. Looking at it from afar, it’s as bright as the sun rising into the morning sky. When it’s pressed down, it’s as bright as a lotus flower. It’s delicate and suitable.

Song Mingzhao’s eyes were filled with admiration as he looked at Yu Youyao’s writing.

In addition to some taboos, there was also some ordinary food, such as radish, red dates, congee, lotus seeds, yams, and other food that could nourish the spleen, kidney, and lungs.

They were all affordable for ordinary people.

After writing for three pages, Yu Youyao finally stopped. Song Mingzhao couldn’t help but say, “Young Miss’s handwriting has an essence. It’s rare.”

At the mention of calligraphy, Yu Youyao couldn’t help but think of her cousin. “It’s my cousin who taught me well.”

With that, she remembered that her cousin was going to Shandong to quell the rebellion. She couldn’t help but feel worried and disappointed, so she lowered her head.

Song Mingzhao had clearly seen that Eldest Miss Yu treated him indifferently and politely, but when she mentioned her “cousin”, her eyes sparkled with joy.

The cousin she was talking about was the young master who used to be in charge of Youzhou— Zhou Linghuai!

Previously, her third sister had often said that Cousin Zhou and Eldest Miss Yu had an extremely good relationship.

At this moment, the old woman guarding outside came in to report, “Young

Miss, the incense pill is done.”

“I’ll go over and take a look.” Yu Youyao took the paper and ink she had written and followed the old woman out.

Song Mingzhao followed behind with an umbrella.

Seeing that the child was lying on the ground and had returned to normal, Yu

Youyao smiled and said, “He’s fine now.”

The woman suddenly pounced in front of Yu Youyao and kept kowtowing. “Miss, thank you. Thank you for saving my son. I’ll kowtow to you…

Yu Youyao was shocked and quickly bent down to help her up. “Auntie, get up quickly. Although your son is fine for the time being, you still have to get a doctor to take a look to confirm if he’s really fine.”

When the woman heard this, she couldn’t care less about kowtowing and quickly carried her son into the medical center.

Yu Youyao called Old Madam Liu to her side and gave her some detailed instructions before bringing Chun Xiao and the other old woman back to the carriage.

The carriage of the Zhenguo Marquis Residence had already stopped by the road.

Song Mingzhao said, “You’ve been out for a long time. Go back early!” Yu Youyao thanked him again before getting into the carriage.

Song Mingzhao stood beside the carriage and watched it disappear into the distance. Then, he turned to look at the servant beside him. “Kong Qing, how long have you been with me?”

The servant called Kong Qing’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, “Since

Young Master was five years old. I’ve been serving him for ten years.”

Young Master was indifferent and rarely spoke to him in such a tone. He had almost never called him by his name. He almost thought that Young Master did not remember his name at all.

For a moment, he couldn’t help but panic.

Song Mingzhao fiddled with the broken jade on the longevity knot on his wrist. “If anyone asks, just say that I met Eldest Miss Yu by chance.” He suddenly paused and slowly raised his head to look at Kong Qing steadily. “Do you understand?”

Kong Qing was almost out of breath from his dark gaze. In the end, the words “Do you understand?” made him tremble in fear.

Actually, Young Master had an indifferent personality since he was young. He was rarely angry and never criticized others. He was the easiest to serve.

However, Young Master was a young master of an aristocratic family. His every word and action exuded the demeanor and bearing of an aristocratic family, causing others to not dare to disobey him at all.

Kong Qing’s eyes trembled. “Yes!”

Song Mingzhao left.

Kong Qing followed behind his young master and recalled that when he was seven years old, he had saved a kitten at the back of the Precious Peace Temple. It was probably brought into the temple by a young miss.

Young Master liked that kitten very much and spent a lot of time feeding it every day.

Later on, when Master found out about this, he despised this kitten for affecting Young Master’s studies and wanted to send it away.

Young Master did not agree and had an argument with Master. In a fit of anger, Master accidentally fell to his death.

From then on, Young Master became abnormally silent.

Later on, there was once when Young Master saved a rabbit in the mountains. He clearly liked it very much, but he did not bring it back. He warned him, “I’ve never been to the back mountain, understand?”

From then on, he learned what to say and what not to say.

At this moment, there was a commotion at the medical center again..
