Chapter 406 - Switched the Medicine Successfully (2/2)

Then she got up from her chair in front of the desk, saying, “I’ve had enough and I’m going back to my room.”

Gu Changle nodded and told her to sleep early for the first time.

Shao Xue nodded and then she went upstairs.

Only when she felt that Gu Changle was about to take medicine did she come out of her room again.

The family servants had all finished their dinner by eight o’clock.

Some of the servants had returned to their rooms.

There was no other servant in the house except Shuang who took care of the medicine Gu Changle was about to take.

Shao Xue came just at the right time.

Just at the time, she saw Shuang approaching the door of Gu Changle’s room, holding a tray on which there was a gla.s.s of boiled water and medicine.

Just as Shuang was about to reach out to open the door, Shao Xue suddenly called her, “Shuang.”

Shuang’s fingers stopped in front of the door and turned to look in the direction where the voice came from. Just at that time, she saw Shao Xue at a short distance.

Shuang was a little bit different from the other servants in the Shao Family. She was also trusted by Gu Changle, yet she was born wimpy and timid and treated everyone mildly.

Even Shao Xue, who was isolated in the Shao Family, called her, she still went forward to ask her what she wanted.

Shuang stopped at the door.

Shao Xue smiled, “I have a favor to ask of you.”

Shuang turned to look at the door of Gu Changle’s room, saying, “Could you wait after I deliver the medicine to Miss Gu first?”

Shao Xue nodded, “Emm, OK.”

Shuang nodded, saying, “Then please wait for me for a while, Miss Shao.”

Shao Xue waited outside the door, making a gesture of agreement to her.

Shao Xue did not contact with the family servants very often, and Shuang didn’t know that Miss Shao Xue could be this easy-going. Then she smiled at Shao Xue and knocked at the door of Gu Changle’s room.

Gu Changle bought off Nurse Li and was in such a good mood.

Just after Shuang brought over the medicine and Gu Changle had taken it, she hastily dismissed Shuang.

When Shuang retreated from Gu Changle’s room, she happened to see that Gu Changle was calling Shao Tianze.

Shuang closed the door for Gu Changle.

When she turned around, she saw that Shao Xue still remained where she was and waited.

Shuang called Shao Xue gently for fear that she might disturb Gu Changle, “Miss Shao?”

Hearing her call, Shao Xue looked up at her, “Finished?”

Shuang nodded, “What can I do for you, Miss Shao?”

“My period started suddenly. I remember that there are ginger and brown sugar in the kitchen. I searched for them for a while but I still didn’t find it. When I asked other servants, they didn’t want to help me. I really can’t find it, so I come to you for help.”

Hearing Shao Xue’s words, Shuang went straight into the kitchen with the tray without putting back the medicine, saying, “Come on, Miss Shao. I’ll help you to look for them.”

Shao Xue followed Shuang and sighed gently while looking at her back.

Compared with Song Yunjia’s personal maid Wenwen, Gu Changle’s personal maid Shuang was really a good and amiable girl.

She sighed gently. Shuang, who was walking in the front, had no idea what was in her mind. She just walked quickly and said worriedly, “Have you got a sore tummy, Miss Shao? If the pain is too sharp, I have some rose brown sugar for you.”

Shao Xue followed her into the kitchen and shook her head gently, “It’s not sharp. Just some ginger tea will do the job.”

Shuang put aside the tray and bent over to look for ginger and brown sugar in the cupboard.

Meanwhile, Shao Xue quickly switched the medicine bottle on the tray to the one hiding in her nightdress.

Shuang paid all her attention to finding the ginger and brown sugar. After several minutes, she took a pot of brown sugar from the inside of the cupboard.

Then she handed it to Shao Xue, “Miss Shao, here is brown sugar.”

Shao Xue took it and was about to turn to go back to her room.

But Shuang called her, “Miss Shao, please wait for a moment. After I put Miss Changle’s medicine back, I’ll decoct some ginger tea for you. Ginger tea is good for dysmenorrhea because it can relieve the pain.”

Shao Xue nodded, “OK. I’m waiting for you here.”

Seeing that Shao Xue agreed, Shuang went back with the tray.

Seeing that Shuang had left, Shao Xue lowered her eyes.

She took a look at the medicine bottle in her hand.

Then she returned to her room with the bottle.

After coming back into the kitchen, Shuang found that Shao Xue was not in the kitchen.

After having decocted the ginger tea, she went to Shao Xue’s room with it and gently knocked on the door.

Shao Xue opened the door and smelt the rich smell of the ginger tea.

Shuang presented the tray closer to Shao Xue, saying, “I found that you were not in the kitchen when I returned, so I bring it over after having decocted it.”

The expression on Shao Xue’s face was complicated, yet Shao Xue still nodded and said thank you. Then she took the ginger tea and told Shuang to go to sleep.

After closing the door, Shao Xue put the ginger tea onto the desk in front of her.

The screen of her laptop was on, and the composition, price, and effect of the medicine Gu Changle must take were all on the screen.

Her eyes swept over the information.

After reading the full-page introduction, she raised her hand to drink the ginger tea brought over by Shuang sip by sip.

Drinking such a beverage could really make one’s tummy warm.

Yet Gu Changle would suffer after taking the medicine which had been switched.
