All Hail Cousin Brother

201 I’ll Accompany Cousin From Now On

This time, he took his pulse for a long time. It was probably the first time he had taken the Essence Protection Pill. The Essence Protection Pill had just entered his stomach, so the subtle changes in his pulse were not too obvious.

Yu Youyao sat beside her cousin and stared at Uncle Sun without blinking.

After waiting for a while, seeing that Uncle Sun had yet to finish taking his pulse, she couldn’t sit still anymore. She opened her mouth a few times to ask, but was afraid of disturbing Uncle Sun, so in the end, she shut her mouth.

Yu Youyao had heard from Uncle Sun that only by recuperating her cousin’s vitality would there be hope for his leg to be cured.

In the past, Uncle Sun had tried many methods, but they had little effect.

The Essence Protection Pill was a secret medicine that could nourish one’s bones and vitality. If the effect of the Essence Protection Pill did not work, the hope of Cousin’s treatment would undoubtedly be even slimmer.

Therefore, after Yu Youyao obtained the medicinal liquid of the Lingxi Bug, she had been especially concerned about the Essence Protection Pill. She was worried that something would go wrong.

The little girl sat beside him, so nervous that her small body was tense. Her eyes were fixed on Uncle Sun. It was not a bad sight.

When Uncle Sun stroked his long beard, she could also nervously pinch his sleeve. When Uncle Sun’s eyebrows twitched, she would even hold her breath. When Uncle Sun’s breathing became heavier, her hands would be clenched into fists.

She was even more nervous than him.

Zhou Linghuai’s heart sank. It was as if he had suddenly eaten a green plum fruit, and his mouth was filled with bitterness. He suddenly held the little girl’s tightly clenched hand. “Don’t worry.”

Yu Youyao was stunned for a moment. She looked up at her cousin and then down. Her cousin’s palm was very big. His fingers were long and well-defined, as if they were carved from white jade. They looked exquisite. His palm was slightly cold, but it was very dry. He wrapped her hand in his and suddenly felt very at ease. Her tense heartstrings couldn’t help but relax.

She slowly let go of her clenched fists. Yu Youyao looked up at her cousin with a smile. “Cousin, I’m not worried. I just want you to be well. No matter what happens in the future, I’ll be with you.”

“Okay!” Zhou Linghuai’s voice was hoarse. He suddenly tightened his grip on her hand, but it did not hurt her.

Yu Youyao smiled.

At this moment, Uncle Sun, who had been taking his pulse for a long time, glanced at the loving cousins. A trace of understanding flashed across his eyes, and he stroked his long beard. “There’s no doubt about the effect of the Essence Protection Pill. It’s even better than I expected. In the future, Young Master, take it every day and use the medicine and needles I’ve prepared. In less than three years, Young Master’s foundation and vitality will recover.”

“Really?” Yu Youyao was excited as she looked at Uncle Sun with a burning gaze.

Uncle Sun couldn’t be bothered with her.

Fireworks suddenly bloomed in Yu Youyao’s eyes, and they were extremely bright. “That’s great.” As the little girl spoke, she tilted her head to look at him. “Cousin, did you hear what Uncle Sun said just now? Uncle Sun said that Cousin should take the Essence Protection Pill every day in the future. In less than three years, your foundation and vitality will recover.”

As if she was afraid that her cousin hadn’t heard her clearly, the little girl repeated Uncle Sun’s words. Between her curved eyebrows, her delicate eyes were filled with a dark luster, looking extremely beautiful.

“I heard him.” Zhou Linghuai chuckled and lowered his head. The little girl’s fair hand was held in his. It was very smooth and felt like cream.

For a moment, the little girl forgot about her hand being held and looked excited. “In the future, Cousin won’t have to sit in a wheelchair anymore. You can even bring me out to play.”

Zhou Linghuai replied, “Okay!”

The second examination lasted all day.

It wasn’t until dusk that the tightly shut palace door opened.

The students who had participated in the second examination were suddenly enlightened. They stepped out of the palace gate, and the servants waiting outside went up to greet them.

Yu Shande and the others were the same, but they were in better spirits than the others.

Yu Youyao had prepared light food in the carriage. The few of them were also starving. They ate listlessly and returned to the small courtyard. They washed up briefly and fell asleep.

They only went to the Yu Residence the next day to greet Old Madam Yu.

Seeing that he was in good spirits and that he looked very calm, Old Madam Yu knew that he had done his best for this second round of examination. She did not ask if they had done well, but only told them not to focus on studying for the time being and to rest well to deal with the upcoming palace examination.

Yu Shande nodded and cupped his hands at Yu Youyao. “This time, I have to thank Sister Yao for your efforts.”

Yu Youyao quickly said that there was no need for that. She then asked Chun Xiao to bring them the medicinal tea and medicinal fragrance that she had prepared early on. “I wish you all the best in the palace examination.”

After the second examination, the candidates did not walk out. Instead, they rested in the Guan family’s room and gathered their strength, intending to amaze the world with a single brilliant feat in the palace examination. From then on, they would be successful and famous, and their hard work would not go to waste.

Yu Youyao spent some time sorting out her mother’s dowry, then called a few capable stewards into the residence.

One of them, Nanny Yue, was a nanny who had served her mother before. She was about 50 years old, but she looked very old.

After seeing Yu Youyao, Nanny Yue knelt on the ground with a thud. Tears streamed down her face. “I was wrong. Miss is already so big. I’m sorry for what Madam told me before she died.”

After First Madam passed away, the entire Xie Residence came to bring Eldest Miss back.

Old Madam had no choice but to invite a respected elder of the Yu Clan over. She wrote a guarantee in front of everyone in the Xie Residence that she would treat Eldest Miss well.

Later, when Old Madam wanted to send them to the farm, they were also unwilling.

However, Madam Yang was too detestable. She had her eyes on the dowry that Madam had left for Eldest Miss. Old Madam had also made up her mind. They could not win against her, but they were also worried that if they angered Old Madam, Eldest Miss would not have a good life in the residence in the future.

After entering the manor, she carefully arranged Madam’s dowry. Eldest Miss was also more confident in the residence and would not be easily bullied.

Although they were in the manor, they could still hear the news from the residence.

Initially, Yu Youyao only wanted to see the person in the shop and understand some of the people there. However, Nanny Yue’s kneeling and crying made her heart ache.

For a moment, she was stunned, not knowing how to react.

She had heard from her grandmother that her mother had reorganized all the businesses under her name before she passed away. She had changed some people and sent some people away. Anyone who could stay was the most capable, loyal, and trusted person to her mother.

What her mother had left her was not a lousy stall, but a group of loyal and capable old servants.

The other stewards also lowered their heads and wiped their tears.

After Madam passed away, Eldest Miss’s dowry was handed over to Old Madam to manage. Although Old Madam had sent them out, she did not restrict them from entering and leaving the Yu Residence. They would also enter the residence from time to time. They could see Eldest Miss in her grandmother’s house, but under Old Madam Yu’s watch, they did not have much to say.
