Chapter 4

Nightmare

After Chu Yu learned of the result, she did not raise any objection.

Nanny Xu hugged her and sobbed softly, feeling sorry for her, “My poor third young lady…”

Chu Yu said, “Nanny Xu, I’m still young, I can read alone first, and in two years, I’ll be bigger, maybe then, Mother will allow me to go to class with my eldest sister and second sister.”

”Third miss, you don’t know that among the teachers invited by the master, there are ones who teach etiquette, ones who teach proficiency in musical instruments, and…” Nanny Xu paused, “Miss, these things have to be learned from elementary school. You should get used to them from an early age, lest you be tied down.”

”It turns out that there are etiquette and musical instruments.”

Chu Yu thought, this is what the ladies of ancient times had to study- interest courses, but she doesn’t care. Etiquette and so on, can be learned later, anyway, you can just pretend to be elegant. As for interest courses such as musical instruments and calligraphy, She can practice calligraphy by herself. As for musical instruments, Chu Yu has also learned the flute and piano a little bit before. But not profoundly, and she has no intention of further study.

She was only five years old at this time, and Chu Yu, who knew nothing about the outside world, did not know that she would regret this decision in the future.

”Nanny Xu, I don’t want to drink the medicine. The medicine is so bitter and unpleasant. My mouth stays bitter all day.”

Chu Yu said hurriedly before the person left.

However, Nanny Xu listened to her on other things, had a determined look on her face.

”No, third miss, your body is weak, and you managed to raise it to such an age. There is credit of the medicine.”

You knew that would happen. Chu Yu thought to herself, “Then Nanny, can you make put those medicines in snacks? Just like the ones I ate just now.”

She pleaded with her eyes, and put her big watery eyes in front of Nanny Xu. she must not bear to refuse such a cute little loli’s request. Right?

”How can it be put into snacks…” Nanny Xu didn’t care, she laughed, and halfway through her laugh, she seemed to remember something,

”I seem to have heard Dr. Xu talking about medicine and food. Once he gave me a yam cake that he made, and he said he added a lot of medicinal materials for nourishing blood and nourishing the kidney…”

”Yeah, if it is made into a snack, it will not be bitter.”

Chu Yu knew that if she asked not to drink medicine, it was impossible to achieve it. As long as it is not bitter, she can endure it.

…

After Nanny Xu left, Chu Yu watched the scenery for a while. The third lady’s soft voice came from behind,

”Xiao Yu’er, it’s time to drink the medicine.”

“My love, it’s time for you to drink the medicine.”

She turned around helplessly, and there stood indeed the third lady dressed in plain clothes, elegant and gorgeous

The third lady handed out the spoon, Chu Yu looked at the pitch-black Chinese medicinal broth, and quietly prepared herself for a while before she said, “Mother, let me drink it myself.”

Then, she took the bowl of medicine and drank it in one gulp. .

Her hands and feet were weak before, so she let the third lady feed her. Otherwise, how can this…….traditional Chinese medicine be taken one by one slowly?

The third lady looked at her with a smile, and after drinking all the medicine, she encouraged, “I knew that our Xiao Yu’er is the best. If you drink the medicine, Xiao Yu’er will get better sooner.”

Chu Yu wrinkled with a face, she said in an extremely painful way, “Mother, do you have any sweets? I want to eat it, my mouth is so bitter.”

The third lady’s expression stiffened, and she said quickly, “Xiao Yu’er, please bear with me first, mother will go and ask the person in the kitchen.”

As she said that, she was about to turn around, Chu Yu sighed in her heart. this is too much, a dignified lady and she still needs to beg.

Chu Yu said, “Mother don’t need to ask them, let Nanny Xu bring it to me.”

The third lady shook her head, “Nanny Xu is not free, we need to trouble her less.”

Chu Yu asked, “Why don’t you ask Father for it?

A flash of excitement flashed in the third lady’s eyes, “Xiao Yu’er, you can call your father over.”

Seeing her expression, Chu Yu knew that it was the third lady who wanted to see the City Lord.

Is love so terrible? It has been five years, and this woman has still not forgotten him. Anyway, Chu Yu couldn’t understand. She grumbled.

Chu Yu didn’t feel that she should interfere in the affairs between the City Lord and the cheap mother. That City Lord- Father doesn’t look like a fool, and it seems that he quite dislikes the third lady.

Looking at the joy in the eyes of the third lady, Chu Yu thought to herself, she can, at the least, let the City Lord father come to see her more, and make him look at the third lady in the process. The servants in the family did not dare to treat her so perfunctorily. A dignified third lady, who is not even as good as a maid.

”Xiao Yu’er, it’s time to drink the medicine.”

Chu Yu could clearly feel that she was dreaming, and the dream had dark gray-blue twinge to the background. The third lady held a bowl of medicine and walked towards her slowly.

Perhaps against this somewhat terrifying background, the loving smile on the third lady’s face. In Chu Yu’s eyes, there seemed to be a faint madness in the third lady’s smile.

Her voice was lowered a little bit.

In the past, what Chu Yu liked most about her was her voice, but now, a chill rose from the bottom of her heart.

”Xiao Yu’er, it’s time to drink your medicine.”

She handed over the bowl of medicine.

In the dream, Chu Yu kept retreating, and strong resistance rose from her heart.

She kept shaking her head and said, “Mother, I don’t want to drink, I don’t want to drink.”

However, the third lady grabbed her, opened her mouth, and poured medicine into her mouth. Chu Yu choked and coughed. She woke up terrified. Opening her eyes, she sat up abruptly. Chu Yu couldn’t come back to her senses for a long time. She felt the cold sweat on her forehead. Even now, there was still the fear of being controlled and forced to drink medicine in her heart.

On Chu Yu’s immature face, there was a helplessness that did not belong to a child.

”It seems that this traditional Chinese medicine has left a huge psychological shadow on me. Even in my dreams, I resist like this. it is because I am too young now. Otherwise, I would have made the medicine by myself”

”I hope by tomorrow, Nanny Xu can bring me some good news.”

When she woke up the next day, Chu Yu’s face was ruddy and haggard, she covered her mouth and nose and yawned.

The third lady looked at her worriedly, “Xiao Yu’er, did you sleep well? Why don’t you go to sleep again.”

The third lady reached out to touch Chu Yu’s forehead. Chu Yu instinctively took a step back and avoided her hand. Seeing the strange and puzzled eyes of the third lady, Chu Yu knew that she was influenced by last night’s dream and had overreacted. She deliberately pretended to be a child resisting,

”Mother, I don’t have a fever, I don’t want to take medicine.”

Sure enough, The third Madam didn’t realize something was wrong, her eyes softened, and she said angrily, “Whether you want to drink medicine or not, it’s not the mother who has the final say, but the doctor who has the final say.”
