Chapter 409: Human Life Is At stake

Logically speaking, the Yu and Song families were family friends and in-laws. If he had not been sent to the Precious Peace Temple to study since he was young, based on the relations.h.i.+p between the two families, they would have been childhood sweethearts.

Even if she was being polite, she shouldn’t be so distant.

Song Mingzhao couldn’t force her, so he changed the topic. “It’s not that I haven’t thought it through, but the carriage is broken, and it’s not something that can be repaired immediately. The person who went back to deliver the letter won’t be able to return immediately. It’s indeed inappropriate for Young Miss to wait on the streets like this. Why don’t we do this? My carriage is parked nearby. Why don’t you take my carriage back to the residence first?” Yu Youyao couldn’t refuse openly, and she still looked a little hesitant.

Song Mingzhao understood her concerns. “I’ve arranged to meet a few friends at Fragrance Restaurant. I don’t need the carriage for the time being. Miss, you can use it without worry.”

At this point, Yu Youyao could only nod. “Thank you, Heir Song.”

The Song and Yu families were close friends. Song Mingzhao’s help this time was quite appropriate. If she refused, it would seem like she did not care about his feelings and did not know what was good for her.

At the thought of this, Yu Youyao couldn’t help but sigh.

She rarely had the chance to go out, but recently, for some reason, she met Song Mingzhao every time she went out?!

Due to that nightmare, she couldn’t help but be a little wary of Song Mingzhao.

However, in fact, she did not have much prejudice against Song Mingzhao.

Song Mingzhao turned around and instructed the servant behind him, “Go and rush the carriage over.”

The servant quickly left. Since the carriage did not arrive, Song Mingzhao naturally would not leave. The silence was inevitably awkward.

Yu Youyao couldn’t show any mercy. After all, nothing in the nightmare had really happened. Song Mingzhao had indeed helped her today. It was a little unreasonable for her to ignore him like this. Hence, she broke the silence. “How’s Grandmother Songs health recently?”

She indeed did not have much of a relations.h.i.+p with Song Mingzhao, nor did she have anything else to say. She had to ask about her elders.

Song Mingzhao nodded. “Grandmother thinks it’s a bitter summer. The weather is hot this year, but thanks to the medicinal fragrance and medicinal tea that Miss gave me, she’s in better spirits.”

Yu Youyao asked about the Marquis of Zhen, the Marquis’s wife, her aunt, Yu Mengxiang, Song Wanhui, and the other young misses in the residence who she knew but were not close. Song Mingzhao also answered them one by one and even asked the people from the Yu Residence.

At this moment, a cry suddenly came from not far away.

Song Mingzhao tilted his head to look. Not far away was a medical center. A woman with disheveled hair was carrying a child in her arms and was pushed out by the waiter in the shop.

After being pushed out, the woman refused to give up. She knelt in front of the medical center with the child and cried, causing a commotion. Everyone on the street ran over to watch the commotion.

Song Mingzhao was worried that Yu Youyao would be alarmed. “Young Miss, why don’t you go to the carriage and wait first?” Yu Youyao shook her head and turned to instruct Old Madam Liu, who was beside her, “Go over and see what’s going on.” Old Madam Liu quickly agreed.

She was big-shouldered and agile. In a few large strides, she rushed over and squeezed into the crowd. In a moment, she was sweating and panting as she returned.

Yu Youyao waited for her to catch her breath before asking, “What happened?”

Old Madam Liu said eloquently, ‘Eldest Miss, there’s a medical center in front. That crying farmers wife originally brought her son to the medical center to treat his illness, but her son has asthma and his entire body is convulsing non-stop. His eyes are even rolling back and he’s foaming at the mouth. It looks too scary. Even the doctor doesn’t dare to treat him…

Before she could finish speaking, Yu Youyao immediately said, “Let’s go over and take a look.”

As she spoke, she had already walked over quickly. However, she did not delay for a moment.

Old Madam Liu was shocked and quickly stopped her. “Oh, my Eldest Miss, I know you’re kind, but this is a matter of human lives. You’re just a young miss.

You can’t go up…”

Song Mingzhao also felt that something was amiss. Eldest Miss Yu was the daughter of an official, so she shouldn’t interfere in this matter.

Not only would it damage her reputation if she accidentally caused trouble, but it would also expose her. Eldest Master Yu was a censor, so it was easy for others to use this as an excuse to implicate the entire Yu Residence.

“Human lives are at stake. Let’s go over and take a look first.” Yu Youyao did not listen to Old Madam Liu’s advice and quickened her pace.

Seeing that Yu Youyao refused to listen to advice, Song Mingzhao suddenly held her wrist. “There are many people gathered in front. It’s very chaotic. Young Miss, it’s better not to go over. As for the child with asthma, I’ll arrange for someone to treat him immediately.”

Eldest Miss Yu l s wrist was unbelievably soft and thin. It was clearly a hot summer day, but the fair wrist in his hand felt as cold as jade.

Just like his Qingtian stone seal that was as clear as jade. In the hot summer, when he was drenched in sweat, he placed an inch-long frozen stone in his palm and instantly stopped sweating. Even if he held it for a long time, it would not be warm. Unexpectedly, she was pulled back by Song Mingzhao!

Yu Youyao was a little displeased, but she also knew that Song Mingzhao was just being kind. He was worried that a young miss like her would cause trouble in public and it would be difficult for her to escape, so he held her back. Yu Youyao couldn’t refute directly, so she struggled a few times.

Song Mingzhao suddenly realized that he had been a little rude. He loosened his grip, and there was a faint coldness and softness in his palm.

He lowered his eyes and clearly saw that her hands were trembling uncontrollably. He apologized in a low voice, “I’m sorry. I was rude.”

Yu Youyao retracted her wrist and said calmly, “Since it was an unintentional mistake, you just have to be more careful in the future.” After saying that, she did not want to harp on this matter. “If patients with asthma can be treated in time and effectively, no lives will be lost.” In other words, the reason why she did not hide at all was not because she was kind or impulsive.

Yu Youyao added, “However, if we dont treat him in time, his life will be in danger. We’ve already been delayed for a long time. We can’t delay any longer. I’ve learned some first-aid treatment from the nanny at home. Human lives are at stake, so I can’t sit back and do nothing.” In other words, it was too late to find a doctor now.

With that, she was already in the crowd.

Seeing that she couldn’t stop her young miss, Old Madam Liu quickly rushed to the front and helped her open the way. Chun Xiao and the other old woman protected her from the surrounding people.

Hearing this, Song Mingzhao understood that he had underestimated Yu Youyao.

It wasn’t that Yu Youyao didn’t know the severity of the matter.

Since something had happened at the medical center, Yu Youyao did not go over rashly at first. Instead, she asked the old maid to go over and ask about the situation.

When the old woman found out that the child had asthma, she knew that as long as this illness was treated in time, he wouldn’t die. Coincidentally, she had a way to treat him, so she naturally couldnt leave him in the lurch.

She knew her limits!
