First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 463 Much Better

... Bowl after bowl of bitter medicine was poured into her mouth, Du Rongzhi no longer remembered how many bowls of medicine she drank these days.

She leaned against the head of the bed feebly, the heat outside was so hot that she almost melted, but she was covered with a thick winter quilt.

"...Why... are you here again?" She asked in a very soft voice.It was obviously a short sentence, but she took a break before finishing it.

Even she could feel that the strength was being withdrawn from her body little by little, but she couldn't do anything about it.Sometimes even when I wake up, I am often more tired than before falling asleep...

Song Zixun, who was standing at the door, smiled warmly, "I'll come and see you. How are you feeling today? I heard that Doctor Zhang has changed a new prescription. Do you feel better after taking it?"

He waited for a long time before he heard a soft "hmm" from the person inside, "It's much better...you, don't worry."

"That's good." Song Zixun resisted the soreness in his heart, and responded with a smile.

He has seen with his own eyes how miserable the patients in the isolation point are these days. The boy who transmitted the plague to Du Rongzhi died of a serious illness on the fifth day of treatment. His mother also contracted the disease because of taking care of him. , and now the condition is getting worse...

He knew what kind of pain Du Rongzhi was enduring now, and he also knew that those bitter medicines were of no help to relieve her pain, but every time he came, she still gritted her teeth and pretended that she wasn't so sad... …

He is her husband, and he should have sheltered her from the wind and rain, but now he can do nothing but watch her wither away in front of him...

Song Zixun took a deep breath, and said in as calm a tone as possible, "The doctors in the city have been researching the cure for the plague for the past few days. Just bear with it...they will definitely cure you soon." He paused, pulled himself together, and said with a smile, "By the way, I have some good news to tell you today..."

"Didn't you always want to send Guan'er away from here...Last night King Min sent a team to escort Chu Shenyao to Yunyang. He came to me at noon today and said he would take our Guan'er with him ..."

Du Rongzhi was overjoyed, and forced herself to sit up, "Really...Really?"

"Of course it is true." Song Zixun looked at the thin figure faintly visible behind the bed curtain, and said softly, "They will leave early tomorrow morning... Our Guan'er is going to Yunyang..."

"That's great..." Du Rongzhi wept with joy, "This is really...that's great..." These few words seemed to have exhausted all her strength, Du Rongzhi fell heavily on the pillow and gasped for breath .

Yuanyuan quickly stepped forward to help her lie down.

Song Zixun felt a pain in his heart, so he raised his foot and was about to go in.

"Don't...don't come here..." Du Rongzhi was panting very hard, "I'll wait...for a while...it will be fine."

Jing Si also stopped him with red eyes, "Master, just listen to the young lady...Young lady has endured it very hard...don't worry her anymore."

Ever since the plague spread in the city, Madam Jiang, the old servant of the Huo Mansion, also failed to escape. After three days and three nights of suffering, the soup and medicine failed and finally passed away.Before she died, Jing Si and his wife had been performing filial piety in front of the bed. After Mother Jiang left, Jing Si heard that Du Rongzhi was also infected with the epidemic, so she volunteered to go to the mansion to take care of Du Rongzhi with Yuan Yuan and others. Rong Zhi.

Song Zixun was silent for a long time, but he didn't take a step closer.

"Rong Zhi." He said in a hoarse voice, "Our Guan'er is fine, she will go to a safer place soon... Don't think about anything, just listen to the doctor's advice and get well soon. My daughter and I , we all need you...you know?"

Tears fell silently down the corners of Du Rongzhi's eyes...

She knew that Song Zixun had lied to her, and the epidemic has not even found a cure until now...

She...maybe not getting better.

"Okay... I will. I will cooperate with the doctor..." Du Rongzhi took a deep breath, and after a long time, she said with wit, "Zixun, I'm a little tired... I'm going to sleep..."

Song Zixun's eyes turned hot, and he said softly, "Okay, I'll be leaving now... You should have a good rest."

"Hmm..." Du Rongzhi closed her eyes exhaustedly, "Do you remember... kiss Guan'er for me..."

"Okay..." Song Zixun's voice choked up, and after a few breaths of silence, he turned his head and told Jingsi, "Take good care of the young lady." After saying that, he strode out without daring to stop for a moment.

........................

"Your maidservant, don't leave!" When Song Zixun said that he wanted to go to Yunyang Mansion with Guan'er, Madam An immediately blushed, "It was to appease Ms. Sun... Now that Ms. Sun wants to go with Mr. Chu Yunyang, the servants will naturally stay and take care of the young lady! I beg the Eldest Young Master to fulfill the servants!" Mother An was about to kneel down as she spoke.

Song Zixun hurriedly supported her, "Young Madam and I both know that Mammy is loyal... But now that the situation is critical, Sister Wan also needs an old and qualified old man like Nanny to accompany her... Her mother and I can feel at ease .”

Nanny An bit her lips with tears in her eyes, "Yes, but Young Madam..."

Yuanyuan came forward with tears in her eyes, "Don't worry, Mammy, don't you still have us by your side?" She forced a smile and said, "Even if Mammy can't trust me, she should trust Sister Qinghe and Sister Jingsi..."

Nanny An patted her hand, "Believe it, why don't you believe it...you are all very good children..."

"That's right, there is no shortage of servants around Young Madam," Song Zixun said, "The one we worry about the most now is Guan'er. Mammy also knows that Guan'er is her mother's life, and now we can only hand Guan'er over to Madam. Only when Zhi is sick can she truly feel at ease. Nanny will not refuse anymore..."

Nanny An struggled for a while, then wiped away her tears and choked up, "The slave... let's go to Yunyang with Miss Sun..."

She tugged on Song Zixun's sleeve with tears in her eyes, and begged, "I just beg you, no matter what, you must... save the young lady's life..." As she spoke, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

Song Zixun nodded solemnly, "Rong Zhi is my wife, no matter how much it costs, I will definitely cure her!"

........................

Compared with Nanny An's reluctance to be separated from Du Rongzhi, Nanny Zhu right now wished she could grow wings immediately.

"When is this, and my aunt can still read the book?" She couldn't help complaining about You Shi when she was in a hurry, "Didn't you hear that Miss Sun is going to go with the young master of the Chu family tomorrow morning?" Good luck..."

"I heard about it." You Shi calmly flipped through the pages of the book, "I also heard that Grandpa intends to let Nanny An go with Miss Sun."

Mentioning this Nanny Zhu got even more angry, she spat bitterly, and cursed, "That old bastard, the young lady is still lying on the bed half dead, she doesn't say she will stay to serve the sick, she actually wants to escape when she gets the chance , What a stinky, shameless old thing!"
