He was murdered after his family was wiped out and left with no descendants; his whole family knelt

Chapter 210 Losing Temper

A familiar feeling washed over him, and he tried to recall something, but his head was throbbing, so he rubbed his forehead.

"Young Master! You're back!"

Butler Lai came out to greet them, and upon seeing them from afar, his eyes welled up with tears. He looked exactly like a young woman!

Look at those eyes, they're totally inherited from Bai Chanzi!

Butler Lai burst into tears and said...

"Young Master, you're finally back."

Seeing him in tears, Qiao Qingshu quickly stepped forward to support Butler Lai and smiled.

"Why is Butler Lai crying? It's great news that my brother is back."

Wiping away his tears, Lai Da felt a warm current in his heart. Yes, this was truly a joyous occasion!

The Qiao family's house was previously sealed off, with seals posted everywhere, making it appear desolate and solemn. Now, however, there is no trace of the house being confiscated.

Even the paths in the courtyard were swept and sprinkled with clean water; such meticulousness shows Lai Da's dedication.

Qiao Anlan looked at the crowd in the courtyard and felt a little embarrassed. He usually kept his company with books and had never seen so many people before.

Now that these people are still calling him "Young Master," he seems even more awkward, his face turning red and his body stiffening.

Qiao Qingshu noticed her brother's discomfort and immediately dismissed the servants, taking her brother's arm and leading him to Zhuqingxuan.

She had considered arranging for her brother to live in the house that Qiao Jizhou used to live in, but after going to take a look, she felt that the layout there was a bit tacky.

So she had it demolished and rebuilt. Now that construction has just begun, she has let her brother stay in her Zhuqingxuan for the time being.

The courtyard is filled with green bamboo and flowers, and there is a small stream nearby, making it very quiet and elegant.

Qiao Qingshu asked him,

"Brother, do you still like it here?"

Qiao Anlan nodded and smiled.

He used to live in a row of low houses behind the library, which was very cold in winter and very hot in summer. Even so, he never complained. Now that he could live in such a spacious house, how could he not be satisfied?

He looked around, feeling warm inside, and always smiled at Qiao Qingshu, a gentle and composed smile.

Suddenly, Wanqiu came in from outside and said,

"Girl, the person has arrived."

Qiao Qingshu hurriedly said,

"Please come in quickly."

Then Mr. Ouyang slowly walked in carrying his medicine box, a curious smile on his face.

"Let this old man see what the young lady's brother looks like?"

Ouyang was an old acquaintance of the Xiao and Bai families. He heard about this matter early this morning and came immediately after being summoned by Qiao Qingshu.

Upon seeing Qiao Anlan, Mr. Ouyang was momentarily stunned.

"You two really do have the same eyes! You siblings both have such a refined and elegant air about you."

Qiao Qingshu hurriedly poured tea and water for Mr. Ouyang and invited him to sit down.

“Mr. Ouyang, I invited you here today to examine my brother’s old ailment. Your medical skills are unmatched in the capital. If you can cure my brother, I will gladly give you thousands of gold coins.”

Ouyang sighed softly, and said with a hint of reproach,

“I don’t have to do anything else all day long, I just do my best for your family. You asked me to help you lie to your husband, and I did it all. I’ve been having nightmares these past two nights.”

Mr. Ouyang has done a lot for Qiao Qingshu. He also participated in the treatment of Old Madam Qiao's illness. In fact, he did it not because of Qiao Qingshu, but because of her mother Bai Chanzi. In the early years, Ouyang received a lot of help and assistance from Bai Chanzi, so he always had some favoritism towards the daughter of his old friend.

Qiao Qingshu smiled, took out a rare medical book from her bosom, and handed it over.

"Sir, you were looking for this a while ago. Please take it and take your time to look at it."

Ouyang Pang didn't care about fame or fortune; he was indifferent to them and only loved collecting medical books and ancient texts. At this moment, he accepted the book with shining eyes.

"Miss Qiao really knows how to handle people."

Qiao Qingshu is not only Bai Chanzi's daughter, but also so good at interpersonal relationships, how could Ouyang not help her?

After saying that, he placed his hand on Qiao Anlan's hand and carefully took her pulse. He then nodded and shook his head.

He stood up shortly afterward and said,

"These are indeed old ailments. First, the throat is not a big problem. The vocal cords can recover. With my medicine, it will be able to speak in one or two months at the fastest, and three to five months at the slowest."

He paused, then bent down to examine Qiao Anlan's injured foot.

"This foot is a bit troublesome. It looks like it's limping badly now. Medicine can't cure it completely. It can only help the atrophied leg regain its strength and vitality so that its walking posture looks better. In the future, it might just be a slight limp."

Qiao Qingshu was very excited; this was much better than she had imagined.

She said happily,

"That's good. If you can speak, that would solve a big problem. It would also be good if your feet weren't so noticeable."

In fact, as long as he can speak, he can communicate normally with people, and there will be no obstacles for my brother in whatever he does in the future.

As for the leg, as long as it can walk, how badly it limps isn't really that important.

With his noble marquis status, even if he walks with a limp, no one will dare to bully him in the future.

Qiao Anlan was very happy to hear this. He never thought that he would be able to speak again and walk more smoothly.

This was something he used to only dream about, but now it was about to come true, and he excitedly let out two "ah ah" sounds.

His cheerful expression was infectious, and Qiao Qingshu stepped forward and tightly grasped his hand.

"Brother, look, you'll be alright! Everything will be alright! It will only get better and better in the future!"

Mr. Ouyang quickly wrote down the prescription and gave it to Qiao Qingshu. She was to take the medicine three times a day without fail and come back for a follow-up visit a month later.

Qiao Qingshu taught the prescription to Lai Da to get the medicine, and happily saw Mr. Ouyang off.

He gave Lai Da a few more instructions, telling him to take good care of Qiao Anlan, and also told Qiao Anlan that he would come to see him again tomorrow.

Qiao Anlan nodded happily and escorted Qiao Qingshu to the door.

Qiao Qingshu then returned to the Xiao family by carriage, arriving home in the evening.

On her way back to her own courtyard, she bumped into Xiao Qianqian and Xiao Yirou. Xiao Qianqian looked her up and down and said...

"Qiao Qingshu, you're really something. Your mother-in-law is sick in bed, and you're only concerned with your own family's affairs, not coming home all day. Is this how a daughter-in-law behaves? It's truly rare."

Qiao Qingshu was exhausted after a long day and naturally didn't want to waste words with the two sisters. She ignored them and went straight to her own courtyard.

Then Xiao Qianqian grabbed his arm.

Hey! I'm talking to you, aren't you listening?!

Qiao Qingshu flung her arm away, and Xiao Qianqian stumbled and fell into a mud pit not far away, instantly getting covered in dirty water.

Xiao Yirou tried to help her up, but Xiao Qianqian flung her hand away and screamed as if someone had stepped on her foot.

"Ah! Ah!!! Ah!!!"

The mud pit reeked, and her new clothes were just bought at Bai Die Xuan!

Today was the first time she wore it out, and it was ruined like this by Qiao Qingshu. How could she not go crazy!
