Mu Jingnan's matter was temporarily stuck in a stalemate. It was soon March, and clothes became thinner. Ryan Thompson's belly could no longer be covered, so he naturally didn't want to go out. Ethan Bennett could only help him take care of his daily life.
The Mu Mansion was a general's mansion built by imperial decree. It had very strict regulations and was divided into the South Courtyard and the North Courtyard. Mu Jingnan lived in the South Courtyard because he was the eldest son, while Mu Yunshen lived in the North Courtyard. Both brothers liked quietness, and although there were many servants in the mansion, they all knew the rules and knew when to advance and retreat, and would never disturb them at will.
Ethan Bennett stayed here for a few days, and it happened to be a cold spring day with alternating cold and heat. Some servants in the mansion caught colds. The doctors usually employed by the Mu mansion were all in separate hospitals, and the servants were embarrassed to bother them unless there was an emergency. Ethan Bennett was also a hard-working person, and in addition to taking care of Ryan Thompson, he helped with consultation and making medicine when he had nothing to do. Gradually, he became familiar with the people in the mansion.
One day, Xiangyun, the maid in charge of the North Courtyard, came to him and said that she wanted him to check on her master. Ethan Bennett didn't understand what was going on. Mu Yunshen always had his own doctor and rarely looked for him. Why did he do that so suddenly?
It was not until he arrived at the North Courtyard that he discovered that the patient he was examining was not Mu Yunshen, but Mu Yunshen's wife, Hu Xiyue. As soon as he entered the inner room, the maid drew up the curtains, and Ethan Bennett happened to meet Hu Xiyue's eyes. The woman was calm and beautiful, with gentle features, but she was a little thin and pale, giving her a feeling of being weak and fragile.
