Ye Chutang casually handed over a piece of paper.
“Go and prepare two doses of medicine according to this prescription, and take them to Su Peier. She just had a miscarriage and has also been frightened; her body is at its weakest right now, so she needs proper care.”
Ye Yunfeng was taken aback for a moment; he didn’t expect his elder sister to still be thinking about such a matter.
“Okay!” Since he had nothing to do at home anyway, Ye Yunfeng was more than happy to act as a messenger.
Ye Chutang then took out a purse: “Also, give her this silver. Now that the entire Han family has been completely ruined, she has no money and nowhere to go; she must have some silver with her.”
Ye Yunfeng weighed it in his hand, a bit surprised: “Elder sister, your health isn’t yet fully recovered; you’re worrying too much! Since Han Yao and his son were captured, the heir has arranged a place for her to live, and someone is responsible for her food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. You don’t need to worry so much!”
Not only that, but there are also many more guards outside the door now.
Su Peier was Han Yao’s concubine, and her relationship with him was special. With the Han family’s affairs still not clarified, she naturally couldn’t be ruled out as a suspect.
After all, she even knew about that secret passage; who could guess how many things she still held in her hands, how many secrets she concealed?
Shen Yanchuan’s presence seemed to be for surveillance, but in reality, it was more for protection.
“Go quickly and come back swiftly.” Ye Chutang pinched her somewhat sore neck. “Oh, and on your way back, remember to pick up some red date and chestnut cakes for Xiao Wu.”
Ye Yunfeng: “…Okay.”
He took the items, turned around, and took a step forward, but then he looked back at the little girl lying beside Ye Jingyan in the courtyard, reading a book.
“Elder sister…” Ye Yunfeng rarely showed such hesitation. “When do you think Xiao Wu will be able to speak again?”
Ye Chutang paused for a moment.
Ye Yunfeng said gloomily: “She could call out ‘mother’ when she was eleven months old, but since that incident three years ago…”
To say he didn’t care would be a lie; how could he possibly not?
After all, they were her younger siblings, adored and extremely intelligent. Now, whatever she wanted or wanted to say, she could only try to gesture with her little hands.
“Just now I thought, if only she could speak, she could just call me ‘fourth brother’ through the window.”
Ye Yunfeng was usually carefree and casual, but when he saw Xiao Wu running over to him, gesturing eagerly, he felt as if something was pressing on his heart.
Over the past three years, they had tried many methods, but none of them were successful.
Xiao Wu still couldn’t speak.
Once, Ye Yunfeng tried to coax her to speak secretly and patiently taught her for half an hour, but it still didn’t work.
In the end, Xiao Wu herself seemed to become anxious, biting her lip and shedding tears with red eyes.
Ye Yunfeng felt heartbroken and slapped himself in frustration; since then, he never mentioned it again.
But now that they had returned to the capital, Xiao Wu was gradually growing up. Would she have to remain like this forever?
Ye Chutang lifted her gaze and followed his line of sight.
Xiao Wu seemed to notice them; she tilted her little head over and excitedly waved her little hand in their direction, her eyes cringing in a bright smile.
“Let her be.”
Ye Chutang was quiet for a moment, then seemingly remembered something as well; her lips curled slightly, and a warm light appeared in the depths of her eyes.
“When she wants to speak, she will naturally do so. If she never wants to speak in her entire life, then I will take care of her for her entire life.”
……
“Cough, cough, cough…”
Su Peier began to cough violently. The young maid quickly brought over hot water, feeding her while gently patting her back to help her catch her breath.
“Miss, why are you coughing so severely? Shall I go call for a doctor?”
Su Peier’s cough finally subsided after some time, and she shook her head.
“No need to bother. Perhaps I caught a chill these past two days; I’ll be fine soon.”
The maid was worried, “But, but now, Miss—”
The child is gone, and yet Miss doesn’t even have time to grieve. She’s been going through this postpartum period in fear and suffering.
She didn’t want to say these things and make Miss uncomfortable, but she couldn’t help feeling indignant and couldn’t help but say, “After all, it’s all Han Gongzi’s fault! If it weren’t for him, Miss wouldn’t be in such a predicament now!”
They had managed to rescue her from the fire, but in return, he knocked them both out and even threatened Doctor Ye with a knife—
“Enough.” Su Peier handed back the bowl and leaned back on the bed to rest.
“How can you just let it go?” The maid was furious when she brought up this matter again, “I wonder what kind of punishment he’ll receive this time; who knows if he’ll implicate Miss again in the future—”
Tap, tap.
“Miss Su, Fourth Young Master Ye has arrived.”
Hearing this from the guard, the maid’s eyes widened in shock.
Su Peier was also stunned for a while before finally coming back to her senses.
She immediately tried to sit up.
“A distinguished guest has arrived; let me get ready to wash up and change my clothes…”
“Miss Su, there’s no need to bother.”
A clear and youthful voice came from outside the door:
“I just came to deliver some medicine on behalf of my sister. My sister said that since it’s cold these days and Miss Su is weak, it’s best for you to rest in bed.”
Then came Ye Yunfeng’s instructions to the guard.
“Please help give this medicine to Miss Su; her personal maid has previously received medicine from my sister and knows how to prepare it.”
The guard’s attitude was polite and eager.
“Fourth Young Master Ye, don’t worry! Since it’s Second Miss Ye’s request, we will certainly do our best!”
Ye Yunfeng indeed didn’t stay for long and left quickly.
Only then did the guard push the door open and place the two packets of medicine on the table.
“Miss Su.”
His attitude was clearly very different from the previous two days.
—Ye Yunfeng’s personal visit to deliver the medicine represented Ye Chutang’s concern.
Mãi cho đến khi cánh cửa phòng được đóng lại, cô hầu nhỏ mới vừa hoảng sợ vừa vui mừng bước tới.
“Cô chủ! Bác sĩ Diệp quả thực vẫn nhớ đến cô đấy! Nhưng này… Ồ?”
Một chiếc túi xách tinh xảo rơi xuống đất.
Ánh mắt của Tô Bối Nhi dừng lại trên chiếc túi ấy, và bỗng nhiên trái tim cô như có gì đó lay động.
