When Gu Yuxuan's condition began to show abnormal symptoms, Shi Min had already been too late. At that time, Ke Ruofeng listened to the doctor and thought that Gu Yuxuan was merely suffering from an ordinary cough caused by allergies, believing he would recover in no time.
For the sake of Gu Yuxuan's health, Ke Ruofeng even insisted on keeping the windows closed during the harsh winter months. Later, when his condition improved slightly, she forced him to study diligently, hoping he could become a top scholar.
Under increasing pressure, Gu Yuxuan's mild allergic symptoms escalated into something much more serious. His cough grew more frequent and severe; recently, he could only lie in bed, too weak to step outside even once.
In Qiushui Courtyard, looking at the anxious Ke Ruofeng before her, Gu Qingning managed a faint smile.
"I heard that Xuan'er is unwell. I've been busy preparing for my marriage lately and haven't had the chance to visit. I wonder if Xuan'er is feeling better?"
Everyone knows how to exchange pleasantries; she had no intention of stepping into the second branch's courtyard, let alone visiting.
"Much better." Ke Ruofeng glanced at the busy Gu Qingning. "Ning'er, your second aunt came to see you."
"Whatever your second aunt has to say, she can speak freely."
"Before your mother passed away, she entrusted you with the key to the medicine room. I wonder if you could unlock it so your second aunt can check if there are any suitable medicines for Xuan'er?"
"Second aunt, all the medicines my mother collected were for treating eye ailments. I've never heard of any that treat asthma."
Indeed, Ke Ruofeng was after the medicines in the medicine room.
"How could there be none? You were so young back then; how would you know which medicines treat which ailments?" Ke Ruofeng didn't believe her; she was convinced that there must be something among the medicines collected by Shi Min that could help Gu Yuxuan.
"Second aunt, I’ve said there are none." Moreover, "I don’t even know where I put that key."
Gu Qingning certainly couldn't hand over the key; those medicines were precious possessions left to her by her mother and incomparable to anything else.
"You—"
Ke Ruofeng was thoroughly enraged; she knew this little wretch wouldn't be obedient.
"Is second aunt threatening me?" Gu Qingning showed no fear. "I said there are none. Even if you cause a scene at the Zhongyuan Marquis's residence, I will still say there are none."
Considering her affection for her son, she thought about finding an opportunity to tell her where the miraculous medicine was. Yet Ke Ruofeng was foolish and always spoke without thinking.
"However, seeing how anxious second aunt is, I can tell you that my mother indeed purchased a miraculous medicine at a high price."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ke Ruofeng hurriedly asked, "Where is that medicine?"
"My mother discovered it was useless for my sister's eye ailment and put it away. Upon learning that Xuan'er is seriously ill, I pried open the medicine room to search for it but found it missing. Perhaps I was too young back then and can't remember where I put it now."
Gu Qingning glanced at the old woman beside Kuo Ruofeng.
It was understandable that she, being young, might forget where she placed things, but the others in the household should have known better.
The real show was about to begin.
