To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 17 Medicine

  Although Sheng Jiayu couldn't understand Hongdou's eyes, she was disgusted by Hongdou's words, and annoyed: "Whoever wants to go to the street with your girls, don't talk nonsense!"

  Hong Dou even rolled his eyes: "I don't want to admit it, why do you want to follow us?"

  Think that the girl will take advantage of her if she finds a handsome man? What a daydream.

  Sheng Jiayu was so angry that she told the truth: "I followed because I was worried that Luo Sheng would get into trouble again."

  Luo Sheng finally spoke, his tone was cold: "If I get into trouble, can my cousin stop it?"

   "I—" Sheng Jiayu really wanted to say that she could, but she couldn't open her eyes and tell nonsense, and was choked for a long time and couldn't speak.

   "Let's go." Luo Sheng greeted Hongdou lightly, and ignored Sheng Jiayu.

  Sheng Jiayu chased after him: "Luo Sheng, I heard you!"

  Luo Sheng stopped again and slightly raised his eyebrows.

  Sheng Jiayu thought she had caught Luo Sheng, and said with a sneer, "You randomly drugged your cousin, do you want to kill him?"

  Luo Sheng frowned and stared at Sheng Jiayu for a while, then sighed softly.

"what do you mean?"

  Luo Sheng smiled: "My father once told me that the Sheng family is a scholarly family."

   Hongdou was excited for a while.

  The governor said this, especially when sending the girl away from Beijing several times, so that the girl should not be self-willed again when she arrives in the scholarly family's Shengfu.

  Oh my god, the girl just remembered!

  The little maid was so excited that she tugged at Luo Sheng's sleeve.

  Luo Sheng twitched the corner of his mouth helplessly.

   Thinking with her toes, she knew that Miss Luo's father would have said such things, the little maid was so excited.

   It would be scary if she could really have Miss Luo's memory, so would she be Luo Sheng, or Princess Qingyang?

   "So what?" Sheng Jiayu didn't know why Luo Sheng mentioned this, and was at a loss.

  Luo Sheng held his lips: "My cousin doesn't behave like a girl from a scholarly family."

  She said this without ridicule or excitement, calmly and indifferently, but it was like a loud slap on Sheng Jiayu's face, making her hot and embarrassed.

  Sheng Jiayu blushed suddenly.

  Luo Sheng slightly nodded at Sheng Jiayu, walked a few steps forward, and stopped.

  Not far ahead stood a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, tall and elegant, like a blooming magnolia.

   Seeing Luo Sheng stop, Su Yao smiled faintly.

  Luo Sheng walked over with a blank expression.

  Su Yao froze for a moment, then looked at Sheng Jiayu.

  Sheng Jiayu packed up her mood, and blessed Su Yao: "Second Brother Su."

  Su Yao spoke softly: "Did Miss Luo quarrel with you?"

  Sheng Jiayu said vaguely, "It's just a dispute, not a quarrel."

   "Why the dispute?"

  Sheng Jiayu was a little surprised.

   She thought that Su Yao would not pursue the dispute between women.

  Out of the trust of her childhood sweetheart, Sheng Jiayu still explained: "My cousin caught a cold, and Luo Sheng actually ran out to grab medicine indiscriminately."

   "So that's the case. How is Mr. Luo's condition? Why did he suddenly catch a cold?"

   "Cousin will be fine." Sheng Jiayu bit her lip and said.

  Family ugliness should not be made public, so naturally she couldn't say why her cousin caught the cold.

  Su Yao seemed to notice that Sheng Jiayu didn't want to say more, so he changed the subject: "Usually the second girl and the eldest girl come out together, why are you alone today?"

  When Sheng Jialan was mentioned, Sheng Jiayu's eyes darkened, and she pretended to say: "Second sister is sick, she must take good care of her illness."

  Su Yao's eyes showed sympathy: "The second girl and Mr. Luo are both sick, which is really worrying. The eldest girl should rest assured, they will definitely get better."

   "Thank you, Second Brother Su, for your kind words. I'm going home first." Sheng Jiayu thanked absently, and hurriedly left.

  She also wanted to tell her mother about Luo Sheng's nonsense quickly, so that Luo Sheng would not harm her cousin, so she wouldn't have the heart to gossip with Su Yao.

  Seeing Sheng Jiayu's back disappearing from sight, Su Yao walked towards the Su Mansion, followed by the bookboy carrying the bookcase.

  Sheng Jiayu returned to Sheng Mansion and went straight to the residence of the eldest wife.

  The eldest wife just got free after finishing the housework, when the servant girl reported that the eldest girl was coming, she hurriedly let her in.

   "Why are you sweating?" Seeing Sheng Jiayu panting, the eldest lady said angrily.

  Although Jiayu has a lively personality, she used to look like a lady from a big family, but since the cousin girl came, she has become hot-tempered.

  Sheng Jiayu didn't care to drink saliva to moisten her throat, and hurriedly said: "Mother, Luo Sheng is really messing around again!"

  The eldest wife nodded Sheng Jiayu's forehead: "How many times have I told you not to call your cousin by her first name?"

  Sheng Jiayu curled her lips in disapproval: "But I just can't scream at someone like her."

  The eldest wife's face was dark: "Jiayu, could it be possible that you think the other party is rude, so you treat him likewise?"

  After what happened to Sheng Jialan, the eldest wife felt that she could no longer indulge her daughter.

  Sheng Jiayu was stopped by the question.

  The eldest wife stroked her daughter's hair with her hand, and said earnestly: "Don't let yourself become the most annoying look."

  Sheng Jiayu gradually blushed, lowered her head and said, "Mother, I understand."

  She hated Luo Sheng, hated the trouble he brought to the Sheng family, hated that the other party caused the Sheng family to be talked about and ridiculed by the neighbors in the neighborhood, so she fought back with all her teeth and claws, but forgot that she was also unattractive with all her teeth and claws.

  Sheng Jiayu was secretly vigilant, and when she mentioned Luo Sheng, she was willing to call her cousin: "I went out with my cousin, and found her in Jishitang to buy medicine. Mother, you must have no idea what she is doing for buying medicine."

  The eldest lady cooperates with a questioning look.

  Sheng Jiayu's eyes flashed with anger: "She actually grabs medicine indiscriminately and wants to give it to her cousin!"

   "What?" The eldest wife was really taken aback, "Jiayu, didn't you read it wrong?"

   "My daughter heard it with her own ears. She can't be wrong. Maybe she's going to her cousin with the random medicine."

  The eldest wife thought about the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly ordered the eldest maid, Shuang Ye, to go to Luo Chen to find out.

  Mother and daughter waited for a while, Shuang Ye returned and reported: "The servant girl asked Fu Song, but Biao girl didn't come."

  The eldest lady breathed a sigh of relief, and then she heard Shuangye say again: "But Hongdou invited Dr. Wang who was instructing Fusong to cook the medicine to leave."

  Sheng Jiayu said anxiously: "Mother, she must be asking Dr. Wang to make medicine for her, and then give the boiled medicine to her cousin. You can't let her mess around. My cousin is already weak, so I can't bear her messing around."

  The eldest lady couldn't help but nodded.

   Even a good person can take medicine indiscriminately, let alone someone like Luo Chen.

   "Mother, how about I go to her place."

   "It's not appropriate to stop her in the past now. Your cousin can be said to be suffering for herself."

   "Then what to do?"

  The eldest lady pondered for a while, and told Shuangye: "You go and tell Fu Song, if the cousin girl brings some weird things for the cousin to take, ask him to stop him and quietly send someone to report."

  At night, Luo Chen's fever did not go down for a long time, which affected the whole Shengfu so that he couldn't sleep well.

  Then the old lady Risheng went to guard in person, and even invited several famous doctors from Jinsha.

  After the consultation, the doctors were very pessimistic: If the patient does not reduce the fever tonight, it will be dangerous.

   Waiting until the sky was full of sunset, Luo Sheng took Hongdou and stepped into the gate of Luo Chen Courtyard.
