Hearing the voice outside, he stood up anxiously but Chu Mu held his hand tightly, unable to move.

As if unconsciously trying to hold the only source of warmth and as if holding the most important thing in life, Chu Mu refused to let go.

Xie Tingyue couldn’t bear to let go and didn’t rush out but waited anxiously for the servants to come in.

Time is very important at this moment.

This is the first time Xie Tingyue saw Chu Mu who was ill, he didn’t time to have to fear or it was too late to be afraid, only anxiety and distress rushed up.

This person has always been very calm, not gloomy, not discourage, not hurting and always makes people ignore the fact that he is sick but even if other can forget and ignore, he shouldn’t.

Xie Tingyue made a mental note on his head: This person who has illness may die anytime!

He must always take good care of him!

Servants soon entered the room.

There was Chu Mu’s long follower Qin Ping, and there was a maid named Gingko.

The hands and feet of the two were quite swift, Qin Ping quickly stuffed a brown pill into Chu Mu’s mouth, while Gingko was holding a bowl of hot ginger soup to Chu Mu, which seemed to have become a habit.

There was a little maid who was not careful and shook her hands when she came in to add charcoal and fell on the ground. Gingko frowned and started feeding the soup again to Chu Mu.

Xie Tingyue took the bowl in her hands: “Let me”

Gingko obediently gave the medicine bowl and turned to deal with other things.

Xie Tingyue’s hands was very steady, feeding the soup very gently and didn’t drop anything.

Qin Ping looked sideways his eyes gradually change: “Madam is working hard”

Xie Tingyu didn’t looked at him but frowned: “Is this enough?”

Qin Ping: “It would be better to have a bowl of Ginseng Soup but we ran out of that ginseng in our house”

“Then go get it!”

Xie Tingyue didn’t thinks this was a problem. Chu Mu was the eldest son of the Chu family and his status was unusual, as long as he didn’t die other wouldn’t dare to take it lightly. What will happen if he go at night and went into the warehouse to get root ginseng? Even if it’s the rare century old ginseng!

Unexpectedly, Gingko never came back with the ginseng.

Xie Tingyue narrowed his eye: “What is going on?”

Gingko’s eyes are very red and angry: “The warehouse maid said that there is no way to take it! Everyone is the same! This maid said that the young master is very ill and needed the ginseng and vowed to make up for the note tomorrow morning, but they still won’t allow it.”

Xie Tingyue’s heart tightened forcing himself to calm down.

Something is wrong.

He knew this little girl, Ginkgo and Qin Ping. One is a maid serving in the house and the other is a long-term follower, the former may not be able to turn her mind very quickly but her hands and feet are fast and she’s loyal. The latter… only listen to Chu Mu, if he did he would never make his own claim and would definitely not do what Chu Mu didn’t tell him.

These two were people Chu Mu trusted.

For what reason? Because Xie Tingyue discovered that when Chu Mu was not in good health and needed someone to wait on him, close at any time it usually this two that are there, and only when the two of them are close that he would occasionally close his eyes and smile truthfully.

Closing his eyes and squeezing a genuine smile is the state that Chu Mu can only have when he is very relaxed.

Of course there is one more addition now, and that is himself.

So in front of these two people, what can be said directly.
