I relied on a system to prolong my life in ancient times.

Chapter 363 Getting Better

When Xiao Siyue returned to her elder brother's courtyard, the Xiao family members were still there. This time, not only was her aunt kneeling and begging, but even Old Lady Xiao was kneeling on the ground.

Xiao Siyue didn't care about anything else and immediately stepped forward to help Old Lady Xiao up.

"Grandma, please get up. The ground is hard, and your legs will hurt if you kneel for too long."

"Yue'er, how could Yangyang, who is so young, have contracted smallpox?" Old Mrs. Xiao said, supporting Xiao Siyue with tears streaming down her face.

"Grandma, please get up quickly, Aunt. When I came over, Dr. An had already found a treatment prescription. Yangyang will be fine." Although the prescription system guarantees a success rate of at least 90%, there is still a 10% chance of failure, but Xiao Siyue didn't dare to say anything now.

"Yue'er, what did you just say? Is there really a way?" Aunt Xiao excitedly grabbed Xiao Siyue's hand upon hearing this.

So excited, Xiao Siyue felt her hands were being squeezed so hard they were almost painful, but she still comforted her aunt: "Yes, my father has already sent someone to get the medicine, so please don't worry, Aunt, nothing will happen."

The Xiao family members all looked at Xiao Siyue, hoping that what she said was true.

"Grandpa and Grandma, Uncle and Uncle, I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, just ask my dad."

Just then, Xiao Qinian and Doctor An also came over.

"Third brother, Yue'er just said she has a way to cure Yangyang?" Old Mrs. Xiao looked intently at Xiao Qinian.

"Mother, it's true."

Dr. An nodded, equally excited. He felt that he was about to make a name for himself. Although he hadn't developed the formula himself, he had mastered a prescription for treating smallpox. This was an opportunity that many doctors would envy.

"Grandma, please don't worry. I've looked at this prescription, and there's a high chance of recovery. Don't be too sad, lest you harm your health," Doctor An comforted Granny Xiao.

"Oh, thank you so much, Dr. An, we understand."

Looking at the people in the courtyard, Dr. An thought of the child with smallpox in the house.

"Grandpa Xiao, you should all go back and rest. Smallpox is very contagious, and there are other children in the household. We should take precautions to prevent them from getting infected." Although we have a prescription, it hasn't been tested yet. What if something goes wrong? I don't even want to think about what would happen if the whole family got infected.

Grandpa Xiao thought for a moment, and when he realized that Dr. An was right, he immediately said loudly, "You should all go back, especially those with children. Don't come here anymore."

Yangyang is fine with Xiao Siqi and his wife taking care of him; having more than that wouldn't be good for the child.

It's not that they don't love their child, it's just that given Xiao Siqi and his wife's personalities, they definitely wouldn't want to leave Yangyang.

Upon hearing this, everyone went back to their own homes, and Xiao Siyue helped Old Lady Xiao back to the courtyard.

Then, Xiao Siyue instructed the servants to disinfect the entire mansion.

To verify the efficacy of the prescription, Dr. An stayed at the Xiao family's house to observe the patient closely. He even personally prepared each dose of medicine, which put the Xiao family at ease.

Three days later, Dr. An examined Yangyang and smiled, "Good, this medicine is indeed very effective. The child is fine now, so you can rest assured."

He has now confirmed that the formula is completely safe and can be used without any problems.

Upon hearing this, Qu Yin couldn't help but burst into tears. She hadn't been sleeping or eating well for the past few days, taking care of Yangyang day and night without leaving his side.

When she was so tired that she fell asleep, she would be woken up by nightmares, fearing that Yangyang would leave her.

"It's alright, it's alright, Yangyang is fine now." Xiao Siqi comforted Qu Yin and hugged her. He had been worried sick these past few days, but seeing his wife's appearance, he could only pretend to be calm.

"Waaah, Siqi, I'm so scared, so scared that Yangyang is going to die like this." Qu Yin burst into tears, as if she wanted to cry out all the worries and fears she had accumulated over the past few days.

Xiao Siqi gently patted her back to comfort her, and slowly his eyes also reddened.

Knowing how the two were feeling, Dr. An didn't disturb them and went to write down his medical records.

"Mother." The little one on the bed stretched out his arms and looked around.

Hearing the voice, Qu Yin, who was in Xiao Siqi's arms, immediately sat down by the bed: "Mother is here, Yangyang, Mother is here."

"Waaah, Mom, it itches so much!" Yangyang said, reaching to scratch his face, but Qu Yin immediately grabbed his hand.

"Yangyang, don't scratch it, Yangyang, please bear with it, please don't scratch it." Qu Yin looked at the child with great heartache, but this abscess absolutely could not be scratched. Once it broke, it would never heal and would leave a scar that would be difficult to remove for life.

"Mmm." Yangyang nodded obediently. Although it was itchy and uncomfortable, he listened to Qu Yin and endured it.

"Dr. An, is there any way to stop the itching? This child is still young and it's hard to control." Xiao Siqi asked Dr. An quickly, seeing Yangyang's discomfort.

"I have the remedy, and I'm already preparing it, but it will only relieve the itching a little. The itching will still be there, so you'll have to be careful during this time and prevent the child from scratching."

"It's good enough if it helps a little bit." He didn't expect it to stop the itching immediately; he was already grateful that his child's life had been saved.

Because it's so itchy, Yangyang can't sleep at all and keeps trying to scratch his face. If Qu Yin hadn't been holding him back, he probably would have scratched it raw by now.

Dr. An quickly prepared the topical ointment and then applied it to the area with pustules.

These medications not only relieve itching but also effectively treat boils to prevent scarring.

After the medicine was applied, Yangyang gradually stopped being restless and slowly fell asleep, perhaps because the medicine was taking effect.

Qu Yin watched Yangyang fall asleep and gently pulled the blanket up to cover him. Her eyes remained fixed on him.

"Go get some sleep, you haven't had a proper night's sleep in days." Xiao Siqi stood behind him and patted Qu Yin on the shoulder.

Qu Yin shook her head: "I need to keep an eye on Yangyang so he doesn't lose control and start scratching himself."

"It's alright, I'll keep an eye on things. You go and get some sleep," Xiao Siqi continued to persuade her.

Qu Yin was still a little worried: "Go to sleep. You haven't slept for several days. I'm not sleepy."

Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Xiao Siqi had no choice but to sit down by the bedside and keep him company.

Qu Yin thought about what had happened in the past few days and felt like she was dreaming. She was afraid that when she woke up, Yangyang would be gone.

It's all her fault. If she hadn't failed to take good care of Yangyang, Yangyang wouldn't have contracted smallpox.

She almost killed the child. If something had really happened to Yangyang, she probably wouldn't have been able to survive.

Fortunately, Yangyang is alright. He will be fully recovered in a few days and will be able to run and jump around behind his brother again.
