A Blessed Daughter - Chapter 067

“This…… I don’t know either……” said Xiaobei vaguely.

“Is your young master in the yard?” Wei Ruo asked.

“Yes, he is.”

“I’ll go find him!”

Since she couldn’t get a clear answer from Xiaobei, she would better ask Wei Jinyi herself.

In the bedroom, Wei Jinyi’s lower half body was covered by bedding, the upper half leaning against a cushion, and his hand was holding a book.

He was wearing a white unlined garment. His face was still haggard, and his sickly beautiful face looked like an Iceberg rose that had been beaten by rain.

Wei Ruo walked over, and Wei Jinyi looked up at her.

“You want to give me such a valuable old wild ginseng?” Wei Ruo asked, pointing to the wooden box in her hand.

“Yes.”

“Where did you get this valuable ginseng?” Wei Ruo was curious.

“Some years ago, I saved an old man and he gave it to me.” Wei Jinyi replied.

Xiaobei heard Wei Jinyi’s answer next to him and muttered to himself, ‘Young master lied without blushing!’ Where did he come up with ‘saved an old man’? This old wild ginseng was clearly……

“Are you sure you want to give me such a valuable old wild ginseng? It’s worth a lot of silver to sell it! It could be one to two hundred taels.” Wei Ruo reminded him.

“You have saved my life. It was worth more and cannot be compared to this old wild ginseng.”

The medicine Wei Ruo gave him was a precious item that could not be bought anywhere else, and could not be sought after.

That was true, but Wei Ruo looked at Wei Jin Yi’s shabby appearance and guessed that the old wild ginseng was worth all his entire fortune.

He was so poor, yet he could still give her such a valuable thing. It showed that he was really a person who knew how to repay kindness. She did not make a mistake in her decision to save him at the risk of being exposed that day.

“Alright then, I’ll take the old wild ginseng. The next time I make it into supplement pills, I’ll give you a few.” Wei Ruo said.

“Yes.” Wei Jinyi agreed, but didn’t really expect Wei Ruo to give him any supplement pills.

###

After two more days, Wei Jinyi’s illness finally “healed”.

He could eat, drink, and walk out of bed now.

Everyone in the Wei residence heaved a sigh of relief, finally they didn’t have to worry about being punished by Wei Mingting.

Wei Ruo came to see Wei Jinyi again, and dug up the bamboo shoots in his yard.

These bamboo shoots would get completely old if she didn’t eat them, so rather than wasting it, she should sacrifice it to her five viscera temple^*.

^*five viscera temple: heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys. It conveys the significant role that the body plays in a person’s life. So some people jokingly call it the largest temple in the world. 

Just in time, Xiaobei cooked a meal and brought it into the room for Wei Jinyi.

Seeing those meals, Wei Ruo showed a surprised expression. There was nothing wrong with the porridge he drank, it was good for the stomach and intestines to absorb some easily digestible meals after a serious illness.

The problem was that there were two dishes: one was some yellowed green vegetables, and a plate of radish that was seriously suspected of being burnt.

Although it was said that people recovering from a serious illness should eat lightly. What happened to this meal, with these yellowed vegetables and burnt radish?
“Are the vegetables brought to you by the main kitchen wilted?” Wei Ruo asked.

“No, the vegetables provided by the main kitchen are quite fresh.” Xiaobei explained.

In the past, they might have been given dishes that were not fresh. But recently, the servants in the mansion did not dare to deduct their expenses anymore.

“So it was the main kitchen’s chef who burnt it?” Wei Ruo asked.

Hearing this, Xiaobei scratched his head in embarrassment: “That…… Miss, I burnt it……I’m not very good at cooking……”
