PFC Chapter 458 Sick
Chapter 458 Sick
The night sky is dotted with stars, and a crescent moon hangs above the treetops, making people mistakenly believe that they can pick the unattainable fruit by climbing up the tree, just like that beast, thinking that they can make it surrender by using some trick on it.
However, the bright moon will always hang high in the sky, and no matter how many deep schemes and despicable means are used, there is no way to pick it down, and his spine will not bend, and he will never surrender to that person.
Puyang Qiubai felt as if his whole body was about to break.
It hurts, it hurts.
He was no stranger to such pain.
But today, he seemed particularly cold.
There were footsteps coming from the door, and he immediately closed his eyes when he heard them.
Someone pushed the door open and came in.
"Miss, Master Bai hasn't woken up yet. Do you want to ask the Second Young Master to come and check on him again?" Zhilan said.
Qin Huiyin sat by the bed and said softly, "Try Master Bai's temperature to see if it's hot."
Zhilan tested it with the back of her hand and said, "It's not hot."
"That's okay." Qin Huiyin said, "My little brother said that if he has a fever, we will call him. If everything is normal, let him rest and don't disturb him."
"Master Bai's appearance just now was truly terrifying! He was such a bright and handsome man, but at that moment he seemed to have gone mad, as if he was going to kill people everywhere. Miss, Master Bai has this disease, and the Second Young Master said it's incurable. Is it really safe to keep him around to teach you the piano? I'm not saying anything bad about Master Bai. Master Bai has a kind personality, and the servants in the mansion all say he's a very good person. I'm just worried that he'll lose control during his illness. What if he accidentally hurts you?"
"If your mother got sick, would you abandon her?"
"of course not."
"Master Bai taught me the qin and was both my teacher and friend. How could I give up on him?" Qin Huiyin said, "I don't know why, but I always feel that he looks very kind and I really don't want him to get hurt."
"If it weren't for this illness, Master Bai would indeed be a very good person. Miss has always been kind-hearted, and of course she doesn't want such a good person to get hurt." Zhilan said, "It's too late, Miss, go back and rest!"
"You arrange for two people to stay here and keep an eye on Master Bai's situation at all times. If you find anything amiss, come to me and the Second Young Master immediately. You must not neglect or neglect anything. Do you understand?"
"Don't worry, young lady. No one will dare to disregard your orders. If Master Bai shows any sign of misconduct, he will immediately sell out those servants. Is that okay? Go back and get some rest!"
Zhilan took Qin Huiyin away and told two male servants to come in and guard the bed. After the two male servants came in, one brought a stool to guard, and the other made a bed on the floor next to him and took turns resting.
Puyang Qiubai's mood was particularly complicated.
How long had it been since he felt such pure concern without any purpose or interests involved?
If she were just a young lady, naive and ignorant of worldly affairs, that would be fine. But she wasn't. She was a shrewd and capable businesswoman, single-handedly bringing prosperity to the Tang family.
Such a smart and capable girl should be very smart and not be blinded by sympathy and the beauty of a man. Her mind is so sincere that it makes him feel ashamed.
Puyang Qiubai fell asleep quickly. He didn't have any nightmares during this sleep, and it was a rare and comfortable sleep.
"Is Master Bai awake?"
Puyang Qiubai was awakened by a gentle greeting.
He opened his eyes, saw the figure outside the door, and slowly sat up.
After a night of pain and suffering, I felt much better. However, the pain that tore my body apart was not something that could be cured in a day or two. Now the situation was getting worse, and I was afraid I would have to lie down for several days.
The servant beside him saw him sitting up and said happily, "Second Miss, Master Bai has woken up."
Qin Huiyin didn't come in immediately, but stood at the door and asked, "Master Bai, is it convenient for you to come in now?"
"Please come in." Puyang Qiubai said hoarsely.
Zhilan opened the door, Qin Huiyin walked in first, and Su Jin followed with the medicine cup.
Qin Huiyin looked at Puyang Qiubai and said, "Master, how do you feel now?"
Puyang Qiubai said weakly, "I'm sorry to bother you. I'm fine now, but I'm out of energy. I need to rest for a few days. I'll have to bother you again in the next few days."
"What are you talking about, Master Bai? You are the teacher I hired at a high price. If you are sick, of course we must take good care of you. Are we just going to ignore you when you are sick?"
"I have such a disease, isn't the Second Miss going to fire me?"
"Everyone gets sick. If I get sick, will you still refuse to teach me?"
"That's different." She was the hostess and had the final say. He was the man she had taken in out of kindness. If she addressed him politely, he could be her teacher. If she ignored him, he was just a geisha.
Although he had known her kindness yesterday, he still felt ashamed of her kindness when he confirmed her intentions again.
"Drink the medicine quickly!" Qin Huiyin said, and asked Su Jin to serve the medicine.
Puyang Qiubai wanted to answer but was stopped by Qin Huiyin.
"I see that your face is still very pale. I guess you are still not feeling well. Don't move. Let the servant next to you feed you." Qin Huiyin said, waving to the servant next to her.
Su Jin reminded from the side: "Miss, the master is not feeling well, let him rest more, let's not disturb him."
Qin Huiyin said, "That's right. Master, after you take the medicine, you should sleep a little longer. If you feel better, take a walk in the yard. If you feel bored, ask the servants to find a book. If there is none in the mansion, go find one outside. These are all considered as sick allowances from our mansion."
Puyang Qiubai was amused by her. "Does everyone get this sick allowance, or am I the only one who gets it? If everyone gets it, then the Second Young Lady would have to spend a huge amount of money every year just on the servants' medical care."
"Everyone gets it. It's just that the amount of the allowance varies depending on the position. For example, the guards have to watch over our house and are more likely to encounter danger, so their sick allowance is five times that of ordinary servants. The master is my teacher, and he's different from them, so the amount should be higher. In our Tang family, servants have human rights too, and they will receive every penny of the benefits they deserve."
"If I were a servant, I would definitely look for a generous owner like the Second Young Lady."
"Master, you may not know this, but the Second Young Lady is the most beloved hostess among human traffickers. As soon as the Tang family announces they want to buy a human, all the traffickers in the capital will come looking for the Second Young Lady, hoping to sell someone to them."
"You're the only one who talks too much." Qin Huiyin scolded Su Jin. "Let's not disturb the teacher's rest. If you need anything, call me. If I'm not here, my eldest sister will take care of it. You should rest well."
