Chapter 560: Chapter 560, Thanks (10 more updates)
With Chunyu and Lichun by her side, as well as a maid from the Chu Residence, once she arrived, the hot water was already prepared. After she bathed, Chu Yun’an’s daughter-in-law came to invite Xie Zhinuan to the dining hall for dinner.
“Thank you so much, Miss. Without you, I fear my elder brother might have…”
“I’m simply doing my duty; there is no need for such gratitude,” Xie Zhinuan said softly.
She gave Chu Yun’an’s daughter-in-law a look.
If the husband and brother shared a deep bond, did the sister-in-law share it as well?
But this was someone else’s family business. She wouldn’t speak out or meddle. She was only there to treat the sick, nothing more.
When they reached the dining hall, the dishes were already on the table.
Lord Chu revealed a rare smile, while Chu Yun’an and his brother Chu Yunqi were greeting Uncle Yunqi, Dugu Zhen, and the two children.
The four guards, Chunyu, and Lichun were invited to another table.
“Miss Xie, please take a seat!” Chu Yunqi offered with both politeness and enthusiasm.
Xie Zhinuan nodded and sat down.
She used her chopsticks to eat, occasionally attending to the two children.
To her surprise, the dishes at the Chu Residence were quite good, and even the porridge was thick and hearty.
Dugu Zhen, sipping on his wine, gave a rare compliment, “This wine is good!”
“It’s brewed in-house. The old master enjoys having a few extra glasses!”
“Hmm, very nice!”
While they were eating, a servant from the Chu lady had already come to invite them: “The eldest young master is in severe pain, covered in blood. The lady has sent me to ask Miss Xie to come and check on him!”
Xie Zhinuan, holding her chopsticks, glanced up at the maid and said, “His pain will last a while. Go back and tell your mistress not to worry. Once the pain subsides, the poisoned water in his body will have drained, and some will also be expelled through the feces…”
Xie Zhinuan said this much, noticing everyone looking at her.
With a resigned smile, “I’m earnestly discussing the patient’s condition, why look at me like this?”
“…” Dugu Zhen snorted, “Are you really a lady?”
“Indeed, but discussing a condition hardly pertains much to gender, does it?” Xie Zhinuan replied, then addressed the maid, “Go relay the message. I’ll come over after I finish eating!”
“Yes, yes!”
The maid immediately ran back.
Everyone was somewhat taken aback. The mention of feces made it hard for them to swallow, but Xie Zhinuan continued to savour her meal earnestly, truly eating her fill.
They left Uncle Yunqi and the old master to take the two children to sleep.
“Lichun, you should also go to bed. Chunyu, you can stay with me,” she instructed.
Then, speaking to the four guards, “You two can go rest. You two, follow me!”
The so-called rest was naturally a covert rest, while also discreetly protecting Qin Mao and Xie Yi.
When Chu Yun’an brought Xie Zhinuan over, Chu Yunping was in a lot of pain, but his mind was very clear, so he kept quiet, not making a sound.
He was covered in blood, which had turned from black to a slightly redder tint.
“Have you taken the medicine?” Xie Zhinuan inquired.
“He has been fed a bowl. It was only after taking the medicine that he started to feel pain!” the Chu lady said softly, her heart aching.
“That’s normal. After all, his internal organs are being cleansed. The medicine is like pouring salt on a wound; the pain will lessen after it’s passed,” Xie Zhinuan explained, stepping forward to take Chu Yunping’s pulse.
As she said, the internal organs were being cleaned, cutting away the rot flesh slice by slice, and the process was indeed painful.
“Prepare a bedpan; he will need to relieve himself soon,” Xie Zhinuan stated matter-of-factly.

The Chu lady looked surprised.
Chu Yun’an turned his head away, slightly embarrassed.
After taking Chu Yunping’s pulse and getting ready to withdraw her hand, he tightly grasped her wrist.
Biting his lip, he stared at her with indescribable emotions in his eyes, mostly gratitude, “Thank, thank you very much!”
Xie Zhinuan couldn’t help but be touched.
Patted Chu Yunping’s hand, she consoled, “Take your medicine on time, and keep your spirits up. You’ll get better!”
