Lu Qi was curious, but he was unwilling to let go of the cup of hot water in his hand. Thus he walked over with the cup in his hand.

This cubicle was actually not small. Cheng Ling had connected this cubicle to another room and used it as a room for storing medicinal herbs.

Lu Qi did not expect that there would be a different world inside.

This room was filled with tall cabinets, just like the cabinets in the Chinese medicine hall. There were many small compartments, and each compartment contained different things.

The names of these medicinal herbs were pasted on it.

Lu Qi looked at it carefully. He couldn’t even recognize some of the words on it.

“You know Old Master Ding because you helped him treat his illness?”

Cheng Ling recalled the prescription that she gave Lu Qi and grabbed the medicine.

“Yes, five years ago, I met Old Master Ding by chance and helped him treat his leg.”

Cheng Ling grabbed the medicine very quickly. She didn’t even need to weigh it. Her hand was like a measuring instrument, and she could grab the amount accurately.

“This room of yours should be worth a lot of money, right?”

Lu Qi raised his eyebrows. Perhaps it was because of the hot water, his face had turned a little ruddy.

The warm yellow light drove away a lot of the cold air on his body.

Cheng Ling took the medicine to decoct it. Then, she took out a small pillow for taking pulse and asked Lu Qi to put his hand on it.

“By right the interval for the follow-up consultation shouldn’t be so short. But since I still don’t fully understand your physical condition, and also it’s your first time taking the medicine I made, I have to be more careful.”

Cheng Ling stretched out three fingers and carefully felt Lu Qi’s pulse.

For a moment, the two of them didn’t speak. Cheng Ling was very serious when she checked Lu Qi’s pulse. She lowered her eyes, and her long, curly eyelashes cast shadows on her face.

The faint bitter smell of Chinese medicine drifted into the kitchen. Outside the window, the faint sound of rain falling on the ground could be heard. From time to time, the wind blew through the leaves, making rustling sounds.

“There’s nothing unusual. The pulse is much stronger than the last time. Today the time you take medicine is a little late. Try to take the medicine before eight o’clock in the evening in the future.”

Lu Qi withdrew his hand.

His physical condition had indeed improved a lot recently. He slept longer and longer at night, unlike the past when he could only sleep for two or three hours.

Although he still had headaches, the frequency had decreased a lot.

“Your acceptance of the medicine I prescribed is quite good. I will add two more medicines to the original prescription. You need to be careful with these two medicines and do not drink alcohol.”

Lu Qi nodded obediently.

He had never touched tobacco or alcohol. In the eyes of others, the person-in-charge of the Lu family was Lu Xiu, so it was not Lu Qi’s to perform this kind of “drinking” activity.
