Chapter 560: I Despise it!!

“This is good. The two of you are of the same age, so it’s also a good thing for you to spar and learn from each other. As for Mr. Hu Shan, I’ll get someone to send a message later. Mr. Hu Shan cherishes talent, and Mingzhao is Mr. Xian Yun’s disciple. I don’t think he’ll refuse such a good seedling.”

Even on account of Mr. Xian Yun, Mr. Hu Shan would gladly agree.

Song Mingzhao had achieved his goal and quickly thanked her. “Thank you for fulfilling my wish, Grandmother Yu.”

Old Madam Yu smiled. “As the saying goes, one can’t take advantage of others. In the past two years, you’ve been filial to me a lot. How can I not agree to such a small matter?”

With this joke, the atmosphere in the room relaxed again.

At noon, Song Mingzhao naturally stayed in the Yu Residence for lunch.

Kong Qing was serving food at the side. He paid attention to which dish the

Heir ate more often.

Unknowingly, the Heir ate a lot.

‘Two years ago, after the Heir fell sick for no reason, his health was not as good as before. The family thought that the root of his illness was not cured and used the best medicinal herbs and supplements to help him recuperate carefully for two years. He was fine afterwards.

However, he was serving in front of him, so how could he not know? The Heir’s illness was very strange. He usually acted as if he was fine, but from time to time, his heart would ache for no reason.

The Heir did not let him tell his family either. He privately looked for Master Hui Tong, who was proficient in medicine at the Precious Peace Temple.

Master Hui Tong took the Heir’s pulse and said, “You still need a heart medicine for your heart disease.”

There was nothing else.

As for why the Heir had a heart disease and what his heart disease was, even he, who had been serving him since he was young, was at a loss.

Due to this heart problem, the Heir’s appetite had decreased.

However, it was unknown if it was because the food in the Yu Residence was more to the Heir’s liking, but every time the Heir came to the Yu Residence, his appetite became very good.

In private, he had also arranged for the small kitchen to make similar food to the Yu Residence.

However, after leaving the Yu Residence, the Heir’s appetite returned to normal.

The Heir’s appetite increased in the Yu Residence. It was likely due to the chefs of the Yu Residence, and even the people of the Yu Residence.

With this thought in mind, Kong Qing couldn’t help but secretly look at Eldest Miss Yu, who was sitting opposite him. She looked delicate and beautiful, and her figure was slender.

She was only twelve or thirteen years old and was still a flower bud. Before she grew up, she had already caught up and snatched the title of the “Beauty of the Capital” from Fifth Miss Lu of Ning Yuanbo’s family.

No one knew what would happen if she was a few years older.

After lunch, Song Mingzhao couldn’t stay any longer.

With her cousin around, it wasn’t Yu Youyao’s place to send him off.

Yu Youyao chatted with her grandmother for a while before returning to the Jade Courtyard.

Zhou Linghuai said nothing along the way and sent Song Mingzhao out.

Seeing that the door was in sight, Song Mingzhao suddenly stopped in his tracks. “I heard that Young Master Zhou had a deficiency from birth, causing his body to be so weak that he couldn’t support himself. He accidentally fell and injured his spine, so he had to sit in a wheelchair?!”

Zhou Linghuai’s expression was indifferent. “May I know what you’re thinking of, Heir Song?”

Song Mingzhao explained, “Young Master Zhou, don’t misunderstand. I naturally don’t dare to accept your teachings. It’s just that I know a divine doctor who knows a little about how to treat paralysis. He has once treated similar patients. If Young Master Zhou doesn’t mind…”

Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Linghuai’s lips curled up slightly. “I despise it!”

The unfinished words were stuck in his throat. Song Mingzhao looked at Zhou

Linghuai deeply. “When I heard Grandmother Yu mention Young Master Zhou, I couldn’t help but worry about your health. Mr. Xian Yun also felt that it was a pity and praised Young Master Zhou, so I couldn’t help but take it to heart. I was rude. Please forgive me.”

It was indeed a little rude to mention this rashly, but it was understandable that he had good intentions.

The Song and Yu families were family friends. Out of concern, it was not too rude for him to ask.

However!

Just now, he had quietly noticed Zhou Linghuai’s expression. Even when it came to his body, Zhou Linghuai had never even had any emotional fluctuations.

He was a little confused—

Did Zhou Linghuai not care about his health at all?

Or did she simply not want to accept his kindness?

Or could it be that this person hid his thoughts too deeply and was unfathomable?

Zhou Linghuai’s lips curled up slightly. “Heir Song, you don’t have to worry about such a small matter. The ancestors of the Xie family in Quanzhou passed down ways to treat paralysis. Although the inherited formulation is missing, there are still some remaining medicine methods. Previously, Cousin had already asked the Xie family for medicine to nourish my body. Now, my body is much better.”

The Lingxi Bug Liquid was indeed a medicine that could strengthen the body and extend one’s lifespan.

He was clearly using a calm tone. Perhaps it was an illusion, but Song

Mingzhao could actually hear the mockery from the bottom of his heart.

Anyone who knew the Xie Residence in Quanzhou knew that the Xie Residence in Quanzhou was one of the pre-Qin Jiumin. They had been in Quanzhou for generations. In terms of foundation, not many in the entire Great Zhou could compare to them. This was also the reason why many aristocratic families did not look down on the Xie Residence even though they were clearly merchants.

A wealthy family’s background was important, and aristocratic families were more particular about foundation.

The foundation of the Xie Residence was already enough to obtain the respect of the Imperial Court and even many great clans. However, respect and friendship were one thing. Marriage still depended on the contractual matching families.

The Jiumin was good at Gu medicine. In terms of Gu medicine, the Jiumin was an ancestor.

It was simply to teach one’s grandmother how to suck eggs to mention the Gu medicine in front of the Xie family, whose ancestors had passed it down through generations. It was a joke.

However, this was not what Song Mingzhao really cared about.

Instead!

Song Mingzhao lowered his eyes and rubbed the broken jade piece on the longevity knot around his wrist. “The relationship between Young Master Zhou and Cousin is really enviable.”

He had asked around before.

Zhou Linghuai would specially take time out every day to teach Yu Youyao her studies, practice calligraphy, the zither, and even chess. Even when Eldest Miss Yu reached the age where men and women were on guard, she did not fall behind in her daily studies.

The two of them often stayed together.

Yu Youyao’s excellent handwriting had been refined by Zhou Linghuai’s personal calligraphy.

He had privately obtained Zhou Linghuai’s brush and ink through the Teng library. Compared to Yu Youyao’s brush and ink, their handwriting was 60% to 70% similar.

Yu Youyao was also very concerned about her cousin. There were all kinds of medicinal cuisine brewed in the small kitchen of the Jade Courtyard all year round. It was all prepared for Zhou Linghuai to nourish his body.

Not only that, but in her spare time, Yu Youyao would also personally cook and prepare delicious snacks and meals for her cousin.

Almost all the fragrances and teas that Zhou Linghuai had every day were made by Yu Youyao.

When he first found out about this, he was vaguely very envious of Zhou Linghuai.

Yu Youyao was a very rare and intelligent woman in the world. She was kind, good, and virtuous. Her heart was exquisite and clear. She had the world in her eyes, but her heart was untainted.

How lucky was he to be treated sincerely by such a woman?
