He was so useless.
He could not find his sister after such a long time.
He could not find any trace of his father after such a long time.
Was this a psychological problem?
Shen Xi's words kept repeating in his mind. He frowned slightly and felt a deep sense of self-reproach and regret. His heart was troubled.
If she had not come that day and met his mother that day, his mother would not have become like this.
He should not have been careless and let his mother see her.
He knew it. From the moment he found out that his second and third children were in contact with her, from the moment he saw her, he knew that her appearance would definitely cause trouble for the family.
However, he did not expect that his mother would be the first to be hurt because of her. He had been so careful not to let his mother see her.
In the end, no matter how hard he tried to avoid it, they still met.
Shen Xi sat in the living room. It was not that she did not want to leave. She wanted to leave now, but she could not. Acupuncture aside, decocting the medicine was an extremely complicated and troublesome task. No one else could do it except her.
The medicine she prescribed for Madam Fu was different from other medicines. When she was brewing the medicine, she had to control the heat and the time. She had to be precise. If she was a second late or a second early, the medicine would not have any effect and would be ruined.
She had to do it twice a day for at least a week. Just thinking about it gave her a headache, but she had to do it. Fu Qingli would not think that she was doing it on purpose, right?
However, no matter what he thought, she had to do what she had to do as a qualified doctor.
Every time she thought of the woman lying on the bed, who seemed to have lost her vitality, her heart would ache uncontrollably. Even her breathing became heavy.
At the beginning, Fu Qingye had asked her a few questions. Although she had answered them coldly, she had only replied with a few words. It was obvious that she did not want to talk. Fu Qingye did not say anything else and just sat quietly by the side.
Fu Junqiu was not in the mood to talk either. After asking about Mama Fu's condition, she asked Fu Qingye to accompany her and went to see Mama Fu.
Fu Qingxuan returned quickly. According to Shen Xi's request, he had brought all the necessary things over. He had also personally prepared the medicine for her.
Shen Xi prepared the fire, placed the medicine hut, filled the water, put in the medicine, watched the fire, watched the medicine, and controlled the time.
During the process, Fu Qingxuan stood by the side and watched her every move quietly. He was deeply impressed by the profoundness of Chinese medicine and her exquisite decoction technique.
Naturally, he knew that the most expensive medicine in the prescription was the ginseng slices. The rest were very common herbs. Their main effect was to treat typhoid and depression. There was nothing special about them.
However, her method of decocting medicine was different from ordinary decoctions. Every medicinal ingredient was placed in a different order, and the decoction time was also different. Every time, she would add the right amount of water on time. The intensity of the fire in the medicinal hut was also constantly adjusted by human intervention. The steps were extremely complicated.
He majored in Western medicine. Although he was not proficient in Chinese medicine, he knew a thing or two about it. He had never seen her decoction technique in any medical books.
In the living room.
Fu Qingli's tall figure leaned against the sofa. He looked at Shen Xi, who was busy in the kitchen and did not stop for a moment. His eyes darkened.
Perhaps there were some things that he should not interfere in. It was better to let nature take its course.
But when it came to her, he still insisted on his original idea. If possible, he would not let his mother see her for the rest of his life.
But now, no matter how hard he tried, she had already met his mother. Things were out of his control and were going against his wishes.
His second brother liked her, his third brother liked her, his aunt liked her, and his mother still missed her even though she had been treated so coldly.
If they all liked her, what about his younger sister? Who was going to feel sorry for her, who was still nowhere to be found?
"Brother." Fu Qingye walked over and saw Fu Qingli in a daze. He called out to him and realized that he was looking at the people in the kitchen.
"I'm here to take a look at the medicine." Fu Qingli had regained his usual dignity as an elder brother. He glanced at Fu Qingye and said, "You take a look. I'm going to take a look at my mother."
Fu Qingye frowned. Take a look at the medicine? Take a look at the medicine in the kitchen. Why was he standing here looking at the medicine? He was probably looking at someone!
Fu Qingli was about to leave.
Fu Qingye suddenly called out to him. He lowered his voice as he was afraid that the people in the kitchen would hear him. "Brother, do you know her?"
Fu Qingli replied coldly, "I don't know her."
He knew that she had come over this time out of kindness. He would not look for her to say anything or ask her to do anything.
He was grateful that she had come, but he would never reveal her identity.
If he did not say anything, he would not know anything. To him, she was just a doctor that he had invited to treat his mother. There was nothing else.
She had disguised herself very well. Second Brother and Third Brother would not be able to recognize her unless she took the initiative to reveal her identity.
Fu Qingye only looked at him deeply and did not say anything. He could tell that his brother had something on his mind. This was the first time he had seen his brother acting so strangely.
Fu Qingli turned and walked toward the bedroom opposite. He saw the busy figure in the kitchen from the corner of his eye. He told himself that she had done a good job.
However, he clearly knew that his heart was entangled with a complicated feeling that he had never felt before. There were all kinds of mixed feelings. Even he could not tell what exactly he was feeling.
Shen Xi was busy in the kitchen, and Fu Qingxuan was nervous. One of them had been brewing the medicine for two hours, while the other had been watching her brew the medicine. After two hours of torment, the medicine was finally brewed and poured out. It was a small bowl, but it was the result of two hours of meticulous care.
Shen Xi took a whiff of the medicine and tasted it. Her tense nerves finally relaxed. When she turned her head, she saw Fu Qingxuan and was shocked. "Why are you here?"
Fu Qingxuan looked at her sweat-drenched temples. Fine beads of sweat had seeped out of her forehead and the tip of her nose. He knew that she had been so focused that she had not noticed that he had been watching her the whole time. He did not answer her question and said gratefully, "Thank you."
Shen Xi warned him coldly, "You need to be quiet and focused when brewing the medicine. Don't disturb me next time."
Fu Qingxuan replied, "Okay."
Soon.
Shen Xi took the medicine to Mama Fu's bedroom. With Fu Qingli's help, she fed the medicine to Mama Fu. Then, she spread out the silver needles she had brought and said, "I need to be quiet when I'm administering the needles. Both of you can leave now."
Fu Qingye and Fu Junqiu obediently left the room.
Fu Qingli looked at her deeply and dragged Fu Qingxuan, who wanted to stay and watch, out of the room.
Fu Qingxuan wished that he had a pair of X-ray eyes so that he could watch her perform acupuncture. However, he did not have the ability to do so and could only be anxious.
