If the reason for the bland taste of the grilled fish was attributed to having just eaten heavily seasoned grilled lamb, which temporarily overwhelmed the taste buds, then one might not have noticed it. However, if we’re talking about the excessive salt on the eggplant just now, it was definitely at the extreme end of being overly salty.

It was absolutely impossible for He Yanxiu not to notice it.

But he didn’t say…

She was just an outsider, and to He Yanxiu, she was just a low-status maid. Theoretically, there was no need to give her too much face, let alone take her thoughts into consideration.

Then there was only one reason why He Yanxiu didn’t say that there was too much salt and too little salt.

He Yanxiu had some problems with his sense of taste, and he couldn’t taste the salty taste at all.

But she didn’t know whether this lack of taste was innate or caused by an accident.

Previously, she heard Xing’an mention that the Second Young Master used to be very picky about his food. He didn’t like spicy or overly sweet dishes. No matter how delicious or rare the delicacy was, he could always find some fault with it. Everyone had long been accustomed to this, so they took great care with the Second Young Master’s meals and dared not be the slightest bit negligent.

Perhaps this was caused by environmental factors or upbringing?
She didn’t know what kind of accident it was, and whether there was any possibility of treatment…

Su Yujin lowered her head and thought, and He Yanxiu took a sip of the fish and mutton soup in the bowl, “What are you thinking about?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

Su Yujin suppressed the words “Is the Second Young Master sick?” and laughed it off, changing the subject. “I’m wondering what the Second Young Master would like for dinner. I should prepare in advance.”

“Anything is fine.”

He Yanxiu put down his chopsticks.

The bumpy journey and the fact that he was suffering from wind and cold made him lose his appetite.

Now that he was full, he had no time to think about other things to eat.

“Then let me prepare.” Seeing that He Yanxiu had almost eaten, Su Yujin ordered Ai Cao and Mother Liu to clear away the charcoal stove grill pan and the remaining things on the table and brought some water. He Yanxiu rinsed his mouth and she made Pu’er tea to drink.

He Yanxiu finished his tea and yawned. Seeing that he looked tired, Su Yujin said, “Second Master, you look tired from driving all the way. Why don’t you take a rest in the inner room?

Su Yujin bit her mouth again and again, especially when she looked at He Yanxiu’s sleeves, her thoughts became more and more eager.

She really wanted to take the Second Young Master’s pulse, firstly to check his coldness, and secondly to check his sense of taste.

And once this thought came into being, it was like a grass sprout growing out of a crack in a stone. When it encountered some sunlight, it started to grow wildly, and it felt like it couldn’t be restrained no matter what.

The patient was right in front of her and she couldn’t see him. It was so uncomfortable!

Su Yujin scratched her head and ears, feeling a little uncomfortable all over.

After thinking about it for a long time, she murmured, “Second Master, this servant will wait for you to rest?”

When he’s settled down, perhaps she could naturally “accidentally” check his pulse or something, and then she could give him a brief medical examination.

When Ai Cao and Mama Liu heard Su Yujin’s words, they paused and their eyes lit up.

Their Miss was finally enlightened and knew how to coax the Second Young Master!

He Yanxiu also paused in his movements, and his expression froze for a moment. After a while, he returned to his original state and said hurriedly, “No need, let Xing’an take care of me.”

“Hmm… Speaking of which, I suddenly feel like having some quail soup. Why don’t you go pick out some ingredients and make some soup for us tonight?”

Su Yujin said, “…”

No, no chance.

“Yes, Second Young Master.” Su Yujin could only set aside her thoughts of seeing patients and agree. She instructed Ai Cao and Mama Liu to go inquire about buying quail.

Xing’an entered the room and helped He Yanxiu lie down for a nap. He was muttering in his heart.

When the Second Young Master came last time, his behavior was not normal, and Miss Su was already a little strange.

Now Miss Su looked a bit like an outside room, she knew how to flatter her master, and seemed much more normal. But when it came to the Second Master, he actually shut people out, which was really strange.

However, despite the doubts, as a servant, Xing’an did not voice any concerns about the master’s condition. He suppressed all his thoughts and, seeing that the Second Young Master was peacefully asleep, he came out and waited in the hall.

At this time, the snow was falling, and although the snowflakes were not dense, they were like goose feathers.

Ai Cao and Mama Liu accompanied Su Yujin to buy quails, and each held an oil-paper umbrella to protect Su Yujin from the snow.

Su Yujin was thinking about the patient He Yanxiu and said nothing during the whole journey, only letting Ai Cao and Mama Liu pick out the things for use.

Seeing their Miss’ appearance, Ai Cao and Mama Liu looked at each other and sighed silently in their hearts.

Miss finally took the initiative, but the Second Young Master declined and showed no appreciation. Miss must be feeling very uncomfortable.

Speaking of which, this Second Young Master was also very strange. He had fallen in love with their Miss and bought her back from a place like that for a lot of money, but he didn’t let the girl get close to serving him, and he didn’t know what he was going to do…

Indeed, their Miss truly endured much hardship.

Ai Cao and Mother Liu knew that Su Yujin was unhappy, so they didn’t dare to disturb her along the way. After buying things, they followed Su Yujin back.

After arriving in the yard, Ai Cao and Mama Liu began to unpack various ingredients and prepare to make soup.

Su Yujin had originally gone out for a stroll and now felt a bit cold, so she went back inside the house to drink a cup of hot tea. She hugged a hand warmer to keep warm and saw Xing’an waiting nearby. Hearing no movement inside, her thoughts began to stir once again.

Gently opening the door to the inner room, Su Yujin tiptoed in and then gently closed the door.

Xing’an, “…”

To stop or not to stop seemed to be the question.

However, before the Second Young Master fell asleep, he did not say that Miss Su was not allowed to disturb him.

Xing’an looked away.

He didn’t see anything!

Su Yujin walked to the bed.

He Yanxiu’s eyes were closed tightly at this time, his breathing was even as if he was fast asleep, and his arms were resting on the outside of the quilt.

Good chance!

Su Yujin first waved her hand in front of He Yanxiu, but when she saw no reaction, she squatted beside the bed and put her fingers on He Yanxiu’s wrist.

She held her breath and concentrated, feeling He Yanxiu’s pulse beating at this moment.

There was nothing serious about the wind and cold. It was just caused by fatigue and cold weather. Even if you didn’t take medicine, ate some warm food to dispel the cold, drank more ginger tea and hot soup, etc., it would be fine in two or three days. That was all.

When it came to the issue of taste…

Su Yujin frowned slightly, and her expression gradually became serious.

“Do you know medical skills?”

He Yanxiu’s voice sounded faintly in his ears.

Su Yujin was so frightened by this sudden question that she sat down on the ground.

When she fell, she subconsciously reached out to grab something around her and grabbed the quilt covering He Yanxiu.

The brocade quilt slipped off He Yanxiu’s body, and most of it was dragged to the ground by Su Yujin.

He Yanxiu, who was only wearing his shirt, was half-sitting on the bed. He didn’t have time to grab Su Yujin’s hand and froze in mid-air.

Su Yujin, “…”

He Yanxiu, “…”

A large social death scene!
