Xie Wanqing was ill for two days, and Mrs. Zheng was restless both days, visibly becoming pale.
After much persuasion from her confidant mama and eldest son, Mrs. Zheng finally got up and left.
Erqing came in with a bowl of medicine, which was taken over by Xie YanYu.
He sat by the bed, stirring the medicine spoon, when Er Xia, also a first-class maid, hurried in and reported, "Young Master, a message from the gatekeeper says Princess Pingning has heard of the young lady's illness and has come to visit. She is already in the manor and should be arriving soon."
The hand holding the medicine bowl paused slightly, but before Xie YanYu could speak, footsteps were heard outside the door.
He said calmly, "Let her in."
......
Pei Yuxuan left her maid outside and entered the inner room alone, lifting the curtain.
Upon entering, she saw the man who was cold and distant to her, wishing to avoid her, feeding medicine to his sister.
His actions were gentle, his gaze focused.
