She saw Yu Qingya walk out with her head disheveled, and when Yu Qingya saw that the incense burner was already lit up, her brain immediately rushed up with a surge of anger.

Yu Qingya’s face was extremely ugly, she had been woken up twice in one night, and she suspected that Yu Qingjia was doing it deliberately.

Yu Qingya’s sleep was disturbed, and her tone was not much better.

She glared at Yu Qingjia and said in a sharp voice, “Yu Qingjia, did you do it on purpose? How can you toss out so many tricks for a simple illness?”

Yu Qingjia gave her a reproachful look and nudged her finger towards her lips, “Fourth sister, keep your voice down, Yu Laojun is still sleeping.”

After saying that, Yu Qingjia went near the bed to check on Yu Laojun, and as soon as she lifted the bed curtain, she immediately exclaimed, “Laojun, what’s wrong?”

The people inside and outside the courtyard had not slept well, and now they heard Yu Qingjia scream, so everyone woke up in fright.

Yu Laojun was fed with water, and choked a bit, but she finally came out of her sleep paralysis.

She was panting heavily, her waxy face was pale, and they saw her mouth moving but she couldn’t speak.

Now everyone was a bit terrified, Yu Qingjia’s face immediately turned gloomy, and said, “Where is the doctor? Hurry up and ask the doctor to come.”

“Miss, it’s already so late, which doctor will still be out for consultation? Even if we find a doctor, I’m afraid we can’t bring him in because of the curfew.”

Yu Qingjia looked at her sister, and said, “Fourth sister, didn’t you learn how to make medicine? I’ll have to leave it to you then.”

Yu Qingjia was pretending to be ignorant and self-righteous, which infuriated Yu Qingya even more.

However, she could not treat Yu Laojun’s body lightly, so Yu Qingya tried to take her pulse, and after transmitting the data back to the system, she quietly asked it in her mind, ‘System, what’s wrong with Laojun?’

After analyzing the data, the system said, 「It’s nothing serious, she’s just old and weak, she wasn’t able to sleep properly, and with the constant bombardment of the cold wind, her nerves tensed up, and had some symptoms of sleep paralysis.」

“Do we need to feed her medicine?”

「No, the strong elixir redeemed by the host is already sufficient enough. 

Yu Qingya felt relieved, she then told the people about what she learnt from the system in a different way, then people surrounding the courtyard finally calmed down a little, but Yu Qingjia still had a stern expression on her face, and said,

“This is about Yu Laojun’s body, how can we just let it slide? What medicine did Yu Laojun take before, hurry up and boil one over.”

Then she looked at Yu Qingya and Madam Li and said gently,

“It’s my turn to serve the sick tonight, so the Fourth Sister and First Aunt don’t need to keep watch here, go back and rest inside.”

That’s what she said, but with Yu Laojun’s uncertain condition, If Madam Li as a granddaughter-in-law, went back to the inner courtyard and slept, if people learnt about it, her reputation would definitely plummet.

Even if that wasn’t the case, and Madam Li could go back to sleep, she would definitely be disturbed and awoken by the constant rattling, and pounding done by Yu Qingjia inside the courtyard.

Madam Li was already haggard from the repeated commotions, and now it’s already midnight, but Yu Qingjia still wants the servants to light the stove and boil some medicine.

Madam Li couldn’t stand it anymore, and said, “The Fourth miss had already said that Yu Laojun is not seriously hurt, so we should just let her have a good rest, why do we need to make a big effort to boil some medicine?”

Yu Qingjia suddenly had a gloomy look on her face, and swept Madam Li a glance from above,

“First aunt please watch your words, if your words were heard by others, they would definitely think you were being unfilial.First Aunt always abides by the words of the Women’s Scriptures of Filial Piety, and I thought First Aunt actually follows it closely.”

Madam Li was clearly taken aback by her sentence, she suddenly felt embarrassed, and her face kept changing from red to white in an instant.

Since Yu Qingjia had already brought out the word ‘Filial piety’, who would dare to still say that decocting the medicine is unnecessary?

So the maids can only go out to prepare the medicine stove, but the medicine stove and the other tools were already locked up in storage, so in the end they had to wake up the other maid who had the key to the kitchen, and so more people were also awoken.

When the fire was finally started, Yu Qingjia, who was so full of filial piety, offered to decoct the medicine herself.

She was obviously inexperienced, and it didn’t take long for the smoke to suffocate everyone inside the courtyard, and the smell of burnt medicine also assaulted their noses.

The wind, as if helping her, spread the burnt aroma around.

The maids couldn’t take it any longer, and repeatedly tried to convince her, telling her that she was a young lady, and her body is delicate.

How can she do this kind of rough work?

However, their words were useless because Yu Qingjia was so full of words of righteousness.

Yu Qingya and Madam Li, who were listening from inside, could not sit still anymore, so they could only come out to help them persuade her.

In the end, Yu Qingjia only stopped insisting on her work, when Yu Qingya finally stepped in, and offered to boil the medicine.

Meanwhile, Inside the courtyard, Yu Laojun was surrounded by people, and her sleep was delayed a lot.

She had just woken up from a state of sleep paralysis, and her heart was beating so fast that she couldn’t even speak.

Yu Qingjia saw Yu Laojun’s expression as if she wanted to swallow her up, but she simply ignored it, and sat obediently on the edge of the bed, to feed her water herself.

However, no one would dare to let Yu Qingjia pour the water herself anymore, the maids scrambled to bring a cup over, but Yu Qingjia took it and tapped it lightly.

She immediately, and decisively said, “No, it’s too cold, go change to a pot of warm one.”

The crowd was stunned, Yu Qingjia raised her eyebrows lightly, and said,

“What’s wrong? This is how the fourth sister taught me in the afternoon. Could it be that Yu Laojun can’t drink cold water in the afternoon, but it’s okay for her to do it at night?”

Madam Li was speechless and could only wave her hand and let the maid go to reboil a pot of water.

Everyone had already been woken up anyways, it was not a big deal for them to go to the kitchen stove to light another fire.

When the water was finally brought over, Yu Qingjia took it over and said with awe, “It’s too hot, let it cool for a while.”

Madam Li was annoyed, “Sixth Miss, you should stop now.”

Yu Qingjia raised her head and stared at Madam Li with a faint smile,

“First aunt, the water I brought this afternoon was colder than this, but the fourth sister refused it.Fourth sister had taught herself medicine, and Yu Laojun got well under her care, so if she says it won’t work, it definitely won’t work.Even though I don’t have the talent for medicine like my Fourth Sister, my filial piety is definitely no less than her. If this cup of water can’t be adjusted to the same temperature as what my fourth sister taught me in the afternoon, then I won’t feel comfortable letting Yu Laojun drink it anyway.”

Madam Li was so angry that she almost couldn’t breathe.

Yu Qingjia is definitely not here to serve the sick, she is clearly here to claim their lives!
