After sending the two children away, Bei Yutang carried a bowl of porridge into the bedroom.
She placed the porridge on the table and then went to the bedside.
The person on the bed was still unconscious, his face flushed abnormally. Bei Yutang reached out and placed her palm on his forehead, feeling the abnormal body temperature.
There were no fever reducers here, so she could only use physical methods to lower the fever.
There was no strong liquor at home, so Bei Yutang hurriedly went to the street and bought a jar of high-proof liquor. After returning home, she used the alcohol to wipe his major arteries.
After the first wipe, his body temperature dropped significantly.
Bei Yutang did it for the second time, and this time, the abnormal flush on his face gradually faded.
She reached out and touched his forehead again; it was much better than before.
She dampened a towel and placed it on his forehead.
By the time all these things were done, the sun outside was high in the sky. She heard Daixiang and Xiao Zimo’s voices, as well as a male voice, outside the courtyard gate.
Bei Yutang stepped out of the house and saw Zhao Erhu arriving with Xiao Zimo.
Daixiang said to Bei Yutang, “Sister Mu, I’ll go cook.”
“Okay. Make plenty.”
“Alright.”
Bei Yutang knew that something about the Zhang family’s Second Young Master must have come to light. She led Zhao Erhu to sit on a stone bench under the large camphor tree in the courtyard.
“Mrs. Mu, these are all the things you requested.” Zhao Erhu pushed a sheet of Xuan paper he had written on in front of Bei Yutang.
Bei Yutang picked up the Xuan paper and examined it carefully.
It detailed the places the Second Young Master Zhang liked to go frequently, including the approximate time and frequency of his visits, providing a clear overview of his preferences and activities.
After reading it, Bei Yutang sincerely said to him, “Thank you so much.”
Zhao Erhu smiled and said, “It’s what I should do.”
After saying that, Zhao Erhu seemed to think of something, and his expression became hesitant.
“Is there a problem?” Bei Yutang asked.
Zhao Erhu hesitated for a moment before speaking, “There’s something I’m not sure if I should say.”
“Go ahead.”
Zhao Erhu coughed lightly and said, “When I was collecting information on the Second Young Master Zhang, I noticed that he often went to a manor on the outskirts of the city. That manor belongs to a scholar named Fu Zhilin.”
“At first, I assumed they were friends and classmates, which is why the Second Young Master Zhang liked to go to his manor. However, yesterday, I saw him by chance.”
At this point, his voice suddenly stopped.
“What did you see?”
Zhao Erhu seemed hesitant to speak. “I…I saw them embracing intimately. The way they looked at each other was strange, like they were looking at a lover.”
Homosexual!
Bei Yutang wasn’t exactly surprised, but she wasn’t unsurprised either.
Having been exposed to homosexuality across more than a dozen plane worlds, she didn’t necessarily view it with the same hostility or contempt as others.
After Zhao Erhu finished speaking, seeing Bei Yutang’s calm expression, he was quite surprised.
Could it be that she already knew?!
“I suspect that the Second Young Master Zhang has homosexual tendencies.”
“I’ll go and see for myself another day.”
This matter required her verification; after all, it was of great importance.
After Zhao Erhu took his leave, Bei Yutang thought of the person in the room.
She beckoned to Xiao Zimo, “Mo’er, come with Mom.”
Xiao Zimo obediently followed Bei Yutang to the bedroom. He didn’t ask any questions and followed her quietly.
