Greedy for Money Chapter 5

The second young master had indeed caught a cold, and the doctor prescribed some medicine. Jin Yu boiled a bowl of pitch-black soup and brought it over. Before she could feed him, Mother Lu said that one bowl was not enough and went to boil another one.

Jin Yu: "But the doctor said to take it three times a day, one dose each time..."

Mother Lu sighed, picked up the bowl and walked to the bedside, motioning Jin Yu to watch. Then Jin Yu watched Mother Lu spill three spoonfuls of medicine before she could barely feed one spoonful. Even with that one spoonful, the Second Young Master still leaked a little. Mother Lu was not surprised and wiped it away skillfully with a handkerchief. Jin Yu turned around and went to boil the medicine.

"Jin Yu! For you." Su Wei had a three-day vacation, and as soon as he came back he distributed candy to the people in the courtyard. The malt sugar was wrapped in red paper, and each person grabbed a handful and shared it.

"Congratulations, Brother Su Wei. I missed my shift that day. I will visit my sister-in-law another day." Jin Yu took it with a smile, peeled one and put it in his mouth.

Two days ago, Su Wei got married. The second young master was ill, and Jin Yu was taking care of him. Shanzhi from the mansion and several servants went to the wedding banquet. They came back and told us how delicious the food ordered from Yufeng Tower was, how beautiful the bride was, and how lively the banquet was. Jin Yu was so envious.

Su Wei's face was ruddy, and although he looked a little tired, his eyes were bright. It was conceivable that he was in a very good mood these days. He scratched his head, groaned, and said, "Okay, your sister-in-law's cooking is delicious, you can come back and try it next time."

"What benefit does Jin Yu want from finding a groom behind our backs?" Several young men heard this and gathered around. Jin Yu had been in the mansion for some time and had gradually become familiar with them. Several of them were hugging and tickling each other and making a lot of noise. Su Wei was thin-skinned and was teased as a shrimp in a pot.

"Good brother, good brother, I was wrong. I am going to feed medicine to the Second Young Master." Jin Yu begged for mercy and brought up the Second Young Master. Sure enough, everyone stopped teasing him, because no one except Jin Yu dared to feed medicine to the Second Young Master. Even Su Wei was a little scared.

Jin Yu didn't want to go either, but Mother Lu was out on business. Thinking of Pei Shiyue's instructions, he had no choice but to go ahead.

Sure enough, when he entered the room carrying the medicine bowl, the second young master, who was lying on the bed, wrinkled his nose when he smelled the medicine. When he saw that it was Jin Yu instead of Mother Lu, he glared at him unceremoniously.

"Second Young Master, it's time to take your medicine." Jin Yu said nervously.

Jin Yu's face was as sad as a bitter gourd. He couldn't hold the medicine in his hand or put it down. He advised earnestly: "Second Master, please don't embarrass me. Mother Lu has said that once, I can't let it go, otherwise I will be skinned alive..."

Xie Jinhe waved his hands impatiently and said, "Then why don't you just get out and get your skin peeled off."

Jin Yu choked and didn't know what to say for a moment, his little face turned a little red because of embarrassment. He lowered his head and racked his brains to think of how to persuade this gentleman to drink the medicine. Xie Jinhe turned around and saw that he was hunching his shoulders and lowering his head as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Xie Jinxing pursed his lips, coughed uncomfortably, and said: "Give me the medicine. It won't hurt to drink less. If you don't say anything and I don't say anything, how could Mother Lu skin you alive..." As he spoke, he stiffened his neck and swallowed the medicine.

Jin Yu stared blankly at the Second Young Master who gulped down all the medicine in one gulp. It was unbelievable. He didn't expect the Second Young Master to be so easy to talk to this time. He hadn't even said much yet.

It wasn't until Xie Jinhe stuffed the empty medicine bowl into his hands that Jin Yu came back to his senses. Seeing that he didn't move, Xie Jinhe glared at him and said, "What are you doing? I've already drunk it and it's not okay? Who knew you were so narrow-minded? I won't really skin you alive. I'm just threatening you and you look like you're going to cry..."

Jin Yu: ...

Jin Yu seemed to be deep in thought, as if he knew what the Second Young Master was up to.

Jin Yu nodded and said, "No, no, Second Young Master is kind-hearted. I know you are joking with me, but I still have to take the medicine on time to get better soon. Second Young Master, please don't scare me next time."

Xie Jinhe lay down, snorted, glanced at Jinyu's bulging chest, and said, "My mouth is bitter."

To be continued, please read on the next page. Jin Yu turned around and poured tea, saying, "Let me pour you a cup of tea to moisten your skin."

Xie Jinhe frowned and continued, "What were you guys doing making so much noise outside just now?"

Jin Yu sighed and said, "Has Brother Su Wei returned from his marriage? He's handing out candies outside..." As he spoke, he suddenly realized.

Jin Yu held back her laughter and took out two candies from her bosom, saying, "Second Master, your mouth is bitter. Eat a piece of candy to make it better. It will also bring you some joy. Maybe your illness will be cured."

Xie Jinhe's frown relaxed, and he whispered, "They are just things to coax children. Never mind, I'll try one to get rid of the bitter taste."

He reached out to take it, but Jin Yu refused. The red paper wrapping the candy had faded a little and would stain his fingers red. Jin Yu nimbly peeled off one and handed it to Xie Jinhe, who opened his mouth and ate it.

If it were Shanzhi or Su Weilai, they would definitely give it to him directly. Xie Jinhe looked at the skinny and small servant in front of him and thought he was quite sensible.

Xie Jinhe was almost recovered, and the doctor told him not to take a bath before he recovered. However, he felt it was dirty and insisted that his bed was also smelly. Su Wei offered to wipe him, but he was not willing to do so. He sent everyone away and took a bath for only a stick of incense. Then he had a fever again that night.

This time the fever was not severe. When Xie Jinhe woke up from his dream, he could feel that he had a fever again. What embarrassed him was the stuffy wetness between his legs. The thing down there was swollen and uncomfortable. He remembered what Lu's mother said about catching a cold causing bedwetting. It turned out that it was not a lie.

Xie Jinhe didn't want to call for help, but it was too uncomfortable to stay like this all the time. The thick bed was padded with Northern fox fur, which was now wet. He felt it was too dirty to bear. He carefully lifted the bed curtain and used the moonlight to see the small figure on duty tonight. It was Jin Yu.

For some reason, he felt relieved the moment he saw that it was Jin Yu. Maybe this young boy was silly, or maybe he felt in his heart that this person would not laugh at him.

The content is not finished yet, continue reading on the next page. Xie Jinhe called someone over, saying that he was hungry, and asked him to make pigeon soup for him, which would take an hour to make it tasty.

Xie Jinhe tried his best to speak naturally. He thought that this man was stupid and could be sent away quickly. He didn't realize how hoarse his voice was now. It was no different from the way Jin Yu's father lied to Jin Yu that he was fine and she didn't need to worry about it.

Jin Yu lifted the curtain, and Xie Jinhe was startled. He then shouted: "What are you doing? Get out!"

Jin Yu was also frightened. When she came to her senses, she saw that the person on the bed had a red face, anger and disbelief in his eyes, and his hands were tightly grasping the quilt.

Jin Yu whispered, "Second Master, I see that you don't look right. Maybe you caught a cold again. Let me... let me take a look."

Xie Jinhe glared at him fiercely and said in a low voice: "Who let you in? Get out of here. Don't you understand what people are saying? Do you want to be beaten?"

Jin Yu was a little scared. The Second Young Master was too scary. But if he went out like this, he would be in trouble if Mother Lu found out tomorrow. What's more, if something happened to the Second Young Master tonight, he would not be able to kill him even if he had nine lives. And Master Pei's instructions...

He swallowed his saliva, gritted his teeth, and decided to do it once and for all. He knelt down with a loud thud, and kept kowtowing, saying, "Second Master...Second Master, even if you kill me, I will stay and watch. I am thinking about your health. Don't mention the beating. If you are willing to let me watch, my life will be worth it."

Jin Yu lowered his head, his fingers twitching uncontrollably. He didn't know whether the Second Young Master would fall for it or not, so he could only take a gamble in this situation.

Xie Jinhe stared at the stubborn man in front of him in amazement, stunned by the words he blurted out, what does it mean to risk your life? Looking at his trembling, it is probably what he really thinks.

How could it be? How could someone be willing to exchange their life just to see if someone else is sick?

To be continued, read on the next page. Many people have come and gone in Lanyuexuan. Except for Lu's mother, Su Wei and Shanzhi, those people either flattered him or complained that he had too many problems, or said that he had a bad temper. Xie Jinhe had seen too many of them. If it were someone else tonight, they would have run away as soon as he said the first word. They didn't really care whether he was sick or not. It's just that...

Jin Yu was knocking his head and realized that there was no sound from the bed. He did not dare to get up without permission. He secretly glanced at the second young master's face. Before he could get a clear look, he heard the second young master's voice, which sounded angry and as if he had given up on arguing with him: "If you knock again, I will make you knock enough!"

Jin Yu felt relieved and moved quickly. He approached cautiously. The Second Young Master didn't stop him or scold him, and didn't even give him a look. Jin Yu became bolder and slowly reached out his hand. The Second Young Master didn't dodge, allowing him to touch his forehead smoothly. It was indeed hot.

"Second Young Master, you have a fever. I'll go and call a doctor for you." Just as Jin Yu was about to leave, the Second Young Master grabbed her hand just like last time.

The second young master practiced martial arts, and his calluses on his hands were thicker than Jin Yu's. He held Jin Yu tightly, warm and tight. Jin Yu remembered what Mother Lu said last time, and was about to pull her hand away, but the second young master held it tighter and said, "You are not allowed to go!"

Jin Yu was no match for him, and he was so anxious that he turned around and whispered to him, "Second Master, stop making trouble... I will be back soon."

Xie Jinhe's face flushed, and he opened his mouth but said nothing. Finally, he managed to say, "Wait a while before going."

Jin Yu stood there obediently until his legs were sore. He didn't know how long this moment would last. The Second Young Master had no intention of letting him go. When he asked him what was wrong, the Second Young Master glared at him. He saw that the Second Young Master's quilt was open and the wind was blowing in, so he tried to tuck it in for him. As a result, the Second Young Master asked in a panic, "What are you doing?"

Jin Yu explained, "Tuck the quilt in for you."

The second young master held his hand tightly and said nervously: "Don't touch the quilt."

What's wrong with the quilt? Jin Yu felt something was wrong. Maybe that was why the Second Young Master was acting so strange today. He said softly, "Second Young Master, let me take a look. It's okay. I'll help you take a look. It's not a good idea to keep covering it."

The content is not finished, continue reading on the next page. Xie Jinhe turned his head and didn't look at him or speak. Jin Yu knew that this was correct. As Jin Yu lifted the quilt, a faint smell of urine spread, and Jin Yu's hand on his wrist became tighter and tighter.

Jin Yu: ...

It turned out that he had wet the bed. Fortunately, it was just bedwetting. Jin Yu felt relieved. The problem was that his father had left such a deep shadow on him. Before lifting the quilt, Jin Yu even suspected that the second young master's legs were also paralyzed.

Xie Jinhe held his breath waiting to hear someone laugh or disdain, but he only heard Jin Yu seem to be relieved and said: "Second Master, just tell me earlier next time. I'll change your clothes for you. You've caught a cold, so why keep wearing wet clothes? It's so uncomfortable to keep clinging to you."

Xie Jinhe's heart skipped a beat. He turned around and stared at Jin Yu's blurry face in the candlelight. There was indeed no mocking expression on his face. He reached out to take off his clothes very naturally.

Xie Jinhe pushed it away with a red face and said, "I have hands."

After the clothes and bedding were changed, the Second Young Master agreed to let him go and call the doctor. Fortunately, the condition was not serious. The doctor said that he would be better tomorrow. After the doctor left, Xie Jinhe stared at the changed clothes and bedding. A flash of inspiration came to him, and he said quickly: "Don't worry, Second Young Master, it's just that the Second Young Master accidentally knocked over the teacup and spilled it on the bed. It's not even dawn yet, so I'll go wash it right away."

Xie Jinhe looked at Jin Yu with a speechless look. He wanted to just throw it away. This thing was so dirty, how could he not mind it at all?
