Chapter 401: Chapter 401 Let Him Succeed Chapter 401: Chapter 401 Let Him Succeed After much thought,

Su Yunjin felt that she still needed to go to the market to buy a birthday gift for Lord Gu Chengxiang. As for what to buy? After pondering, she decided to purchase fabric.

She would buy a whole bolt of cloth to give to her father-in-law.

Mrs. An was skilled in sewing; a whole bolt of cloth would be quite appropriate for her father-in-law, suitable for making clothes or robes, and the leftover scraps could also be used to make shoes.

Having decided to give a bolt of cloth to Lord Gu Chengxiang,

Yunjin told Gu Ya about her plan, “Husband, for father’s birthday, I want to give him a bolt of cloth, what do you think of this idea?”

As a man, Gu Ya was clueless about what to give for a birthday gift–such trivial matters were beyond him. When his little wife suggested giving fabric, he also thought it was a good idea.

“Yunjin, when do you plan to go to the market to buy it? Shall I accompany you?”

This market trip was to buy a birthday gift for Gu Ya’s father, so it was only right for Gu Ya to accompany her. Yunjin happily agreed to his request.

“Husband, I have decided to go to the market tomorrow; we will go together.”

Before Yunjin and Gu Ya, as a couple, had even gone to the market, early the next morning, Mrs. An hurriedly came to Yunjin and Gu Ya’s room, explaining that Lord Gu Chengxiang had applied some medicine to his body and was feeling uncomfortable all over, with some areas even developing red rashes.

Upon hearing about Lord Gu Chengxiang’s condition,

Without delay, Yunjin and Gu Ya immediately went to Lord Gu Chengxiang’s room. “Mother, do not panic, I will go with you right now to check on father!”

The medicine Yunjin had prescribed for Lord Gu Chengxiang was supposed to help his wounds heal and typically wouldn’t cause such a reaction.

It seemed strange.

Yunjin inwardly speculated that there must be some other problem.

Following Mrs. An to Lord Gu Chengxiang’s room, he felt terribly uncomfortable as his whole body was wracked with sharp pains.

“Daughter-in-law, you’re here? Quickly, tell me what is wrong with me!”

Lord Gu Chengxiang looked at Yunjin eagerly, waiting for her to examine his illness.

Since Lord Gu Chengxiang’s waist was covered with the medicine, and it would be inappropriate for Yunjin to examine him there, she instead checked the area around his knee where the medicine had been applied.

After examining it, Yunjin sniffed the scent of the medicine, and upon smelling it, she thought she detected a musty odor.

“Mother, when was the medicine you applied to father prepared?”

Yunjin suspected that the reason for Lord Gu Chengxiang’s condition might be due to Mrs. An applying moldy medicine on him.

Indeed, Mrs. An said, “Yunjin, this is the medicinal mud I prepared a few days ago. I used some then, and there was some left over which I didn’t use. I forgot about the leftover portion, felt it would be wasteful to discard it, and when I found it today, I used it on your father.”

As she spoke, Mrs. An asked Yunjin, “Daughter-in-law, what’s wrong? Could there be a problem with the medicine I used?”

Yunjin nodded, “Mother, it seems that the problem is indeed with this medicine.”

Mrs. An was puzzled.

“Yunjin, how could the medicine be problematic? I’ve always applied this to your father in the same way. Could you be mistaken?”

“There’s no mistake.” After wiping her hands with a cloth, Yunjin explained to Mrs. An, “Mother, there is nothing wrong with the medicine you used. However, because you left it out for too long and it became moldy, the moldy medicinal mud caused these symptoms on father’s body.”
