Peaceful Farm Life Chapter 2673 - 2674: Return to Tianyun (240)

Su Yuxin quickly supported him and helped him towards the bed: "You’re already sick, why are you still pretending to be strong? Quickly lie down on the bed."

After getting Tao Mingqing to lie down on the bed and seeing his face getting redder, Su Yuxin placed her hand on his forehead. Feeling the scorching heat, she immediately cursed again: "Your body is really useless, isn’t it? It’s getting even hotter! What’s wrong with that young servant of yours? I told him to find a doctor, why isn’t the doctor here yet? And those two maidservants of yours, where’s the ginger soup?!"

Tao Mingqing, due to the high fever, had a slightly unclear consciousness. Listening to Su Yuxin’s curses, he opened his mouth but couldn’t say anything.

"I told you you’re a frail scholar who can’t lift anything, yet my grandmother argued with me, making me really think I was wrong. Well, now it’s clear I wasn’t wrong at all!" Su Yuxin continued to grumble.

Feeling too unwell and having worries on his mind, Tao Mingqing just closed his eyes.

Seeing this, Su Yuxin became even more anxious: "Hey, hey, hey, you absolutely can’t have anything happen! I really just wanted to scare you and see your reaction, I didn’t mean to threaten your life. Seeing you like this, why do I feel like you might die! Okay, okay, I’ll never scare you again, just don’t die, please!"

Tao Mingqing still kept his eyes closed.

Su Yuxin grew even more anxious.

The ginger soup wasn’t ready yet, but Feng Tong had already brought the doctor. Su Yuxin, upon seeing the doctor, looked as if she had seen a savior: "Hurry up and save him for this Princess!"

The doctor, upon hearing Su Yuxin refer to herself as the Princess, wanted to kneel and salute, but at this time, Su Yuxin wouldn’t allow it, only saying: "Quickly tend to him, that’s more important!"

The doctor had no choice but to immediately examine the suffering Tao Mingqing lying in bed with his eyes closed.

After finishing the examination, he respectfully said to Su Yuxin: "Your Highness, Princess, the Fifth Young Master Tao has just caught a cold. I will prescribe him some medicine immediately. Once the fever subsides, he should be fine."

"Then what are you dawdling for? Write the prescription quickly!"

The doctor hurriedly wrote the prescription, instructing Feng Tong to go quickly to the pharmacy to get the medicine and prepare it.

It was an hour later that Tao Mingqing drank the medicine, and because Su Yuxin was worried, she stayed by his bedside.

The commotion was so great that Su Xing and Taoming Ye naturally found out Tao Mingqing had caught a cold, so they both came to see.

Seeing Su Xing and Taoming Ye, Su Yuxin remorsefully said, "Auntie, Uncle, it’s all my fault. If I hadn’t scared him, he wouldn’t have fallen into the pond, and naturally wouldn’t have caught a cold."

Su Xing comforted her: "You were just playing around with him, you didn’t mean for him to get sick, it’s not your fault."

Taoming Ye glanced at the bed where Tao Mingqing, having taken the medicine, was now deeply asleep, and he sighed: "Ming Qing, even though he’s a Commons Son, has been clever since childhood, so father had high hopes for him, wishing him to pursue literature. Naturally, he managed him strictly. Even when Mrs. Cao was overseeing the household affairs, she didn’t dare be too harsh with Ming Qing. All he did was study; it’s a wonder he hasn’t turned into a bookworm. But his physique was worn out, weaker than most people. Just like you said earlier, a standard frail scholar."

Su Yuxin sulkily said: "How was I supposed to know he was this weak? Back then, I even joked I could handle him with one hand, but now seeing him like this, never mind one hand, I could handle him with just one finger."

Su Xing comforted again: "He’s sweating it out, the heat should come down, so you don’t need to worry too much."
