Chapter 695: Chapter 695 Maid Xiao Cao Chapter 695: Chapter 695 Maid Xiao Cao The next day
Early in the morning, the doctor arrived diligently with his medicine chest on his shoulder.
A maid named Xiao Cao opened the door for him.
Xuexue was having breakfast inside!
The maid led him to Xuexue and respectfully said, “Miss, the doctor has come to see Madam Mo.”
Xuexue glanced at her lightly and then looked away, saying indifferently, “Hmm, Xiao Cao is really diligent, running out to greet the guests early in the morning.”
“This maid always rises this early.”
“Hmm, good, you may go and receive your reward.”
“Thank you, Miss.” Xiao Cao was overjoyed, not expecting to be rewarded just for opening a door.
Beaming with happiness, Xiao Cao left to receive her reward from Xuexue’s personal maid.
Xuexue’s personal maid was a first-rank maid, who usually did no chores but simply attended to Xuexue.
Xiao Cao was a third-rank maid.
Such maids were of the lowest rank and usually had to do all the heavy and dirty work.
The doctor stood beside Xuexue, looking embarrassed.
Since the maid had left, Xuexue hadn’t paid him any more attention, leisurely enjoying her breakfast as if he were air.
A long while passed.
Watching Xuexue eat one plate after another, showing no sign of stopping, the doctor couldn’t hold back anymore. He cleared his throat and moistened his lips, tentatively calling out, “Miss.”
“Hmm!” Xuexue looked up, her eyes filled with surprise, “Doctor, why are you still here?”
Instantly, the doctor felt like bursting into tears. Miss, haven’t I been here the whole time?
But these genuine cries of the heart, he dared not voice out loud.
Although Xuexue’s mother had died early, leaving her seemingly unsupported in the General’s Mansion, the General favored her even more than Lady Tang’s children, so the doctor really couldn’t afford to offend her face to face.
“Miss, this humble one is waiting to diagnose Madam Mo!”
“Right, how could I have forgotten about that?” Xuexue exclaimed, slapping her forehead as if she had just realized.
The doctor, unable to discern the truth in Xuexue’s words, simply bowed his head and waited for further instructions.
“Just wait a little longer. The breakfast at the General’s Mansion is too delicious. I have never had such a wonderful breakfast back in the countryside. Wait a bit more; I’ll be finished eating soon.”
The doctor cursed internally, calling her a country bumpkin.
Curse as he might, he had no way to deal with Xuexue and could only continue standing there, waiting.
This wait lasted another two hours.
The plates on the table piled up like a small mountain, and Xuexue was still busily eating.
The doctor’s eyes widened, noting he had never seen a little girl eat so much.
Just as Xuexue was starting to feel nauseous from eating, Xiao Taohong floated in from outside, shouting loudly, “Master, Master, it’s done!”
The doctor couldn’t hear her, but Xuexue heard her loud and clear. She lifted her head from the plates, took a deep breath, and said, “I’m too full.”
The doctor looked at the huge pile of plates on the table and murmured internally that the amount of food would have been enough to overstuff a grown man, let alone a little maid.
Considering how slender Xuexue was, he wondered where she put all that food.
“Doctor, let’s go and see mother.” Xuexue stood up, elegantly wiped the corner of her mouth with a small handkerchief.
Soon, Xuexue led the doctor to Madam Xie’s room.
Madam Xie, who had been covered in rashes just yesterday, now looked completely healed, with only faint red marks remaining. The doctor was astonished.
Pretending to be surprised, Xuexue praised him enthusiastically, “Doctor, your medical skill is truly remarkable, almost as if Hua Tuo himself were alive. You cured mother with just one dose.”
Despite his internal disbelief, the doctor, not wanting to undermine his own reputation, could only put on a comically proud smile, “Hehe, Miss, you flatter me, it’s all in a day’s work.”
