Reborn as the Blissful Wife in the countryside

The young man's hand was also seriously injured, and since someone had been sent, we had to take a look.

Qi Kangming said, "My hand has already healed."

But Doctor Xiao insisted, so he could only sit down on the chair in the corridor for Doctor Xiao to examine his hand injury.

Doctor Xiao felt his hand and then took out paper and pen, saying, "Write a few characters."

Qi Kangming quickly wrote more than twenty characters, and Doctor Xiao was very satisfied: "The recovery is good, no trembling when writing, and the handwriting is neat."

Having said that, Doctor Xiao picked up a writing brush, swiftly wrote two prescriptions, and handed them to his apprentice: "Take fifty packets for each of these prescriptions, and also pack two catties of pearl powder and a fifty-year-old ginseng, and bring them all back to the Gu Family, don't charge them any silver."

The Gu Family's daughter saved our Qingshan Medical Hall, so giving them just this little amount of medicinal materials means our medical hall has made a profit.

"Yes," replied Doctor Xiao's apprentice, taking the prescriptions to the front shop to fill them.

Third Grandpa and Gu Daya were all stunned: "Doctor Xiao, Xiao Yu just went in to help look at the broken leg, why are you giving us so much? Two catties of pearl powder are not cheap, nor is ginseng, such an expensive item, we farmers can't afford it."

Doctor Xiao laughed and said, "It's just a few packets of medicine, it's nothing to our Qingshan Medical Hall, you should accept it with peace of mind."

Qin San Lang had excellent hearing, and even standing on the steps below, he vaguely heard words like poison, blood, medicine, and betrayal of the master, and had already guessed that the young master of the Ran Family had been poisoned. Xiao Yu had discovered it and told them, hence Doctor Xiao was generously giving away medicinal materials as a thank you.

Doctor Xiao instructed Qi Kangming: "You brothers have injured your bones, and during winter and spring each year, especially on rainy and overcast days, your injuries will surely ache to the bone. The medicine I've given you is specifically for this condition. When you return, boil the medicine into a decoction, soak cotton cloth in it, wrap it around the injured area before sleeping, and take off the medicinal cloth when you get up, continuing this until next summer. In the future, no matter how cold or rainy the weather gets in winter and spring, your bones at the site of the injury will no longer keep you awake with pain."

Listening to this, Gu Daya quickly thanked Doctor Xiao: "Thank you so much, without your medicine, they would have had to suffer in the future."

Especially as they got older, the broken bones in their hands and feet would indeed cause unbearable pain.

Doctor Xiao laughed and stroked his beard, saying, "It's just a small matter."

It only took the staff of the Qingshan Medical Hall a little over a quarter of an hour to prepare one hundred packets of medicine. Doctor Xiao personally saw them out of the medical hall, watching as they departed.

Gu Jinli received two catties of pearl powder and a fifty-year-old ginseng and was overjoyed. He said to Third Grandpa and Gu Daya, "The health of our family isn't very good, we can take this ginseng back to make a medicinal meal, allowing our whole family to have a good supplement."

They had been fleeing famine for over half a year, and each person's health had been greatly depleted. Now that they had silver, they needed to slowly replenish their health, or they would get seriously ill when they grew old.

Third Grandpa said, "Such precious items should be saved for emergency life-saving use."

Ginseng was a life-saving medicine, particularly in the case of serious illnesses or injuries; having a ginseng could save a person's life.

Gu Jinli said, "It's only fifty years old, when we are wealthy in the future, we can buy a hundred-year-old ginseng. That kind of ginseng is the real lifesaver."

Doctor Xiao had said that in the future, when she goes to Qingshan Medical Hall to buy medicine, everything will be half price. Such a bargain must not be missed. Qingshan Medical Hall, you just wait, the ginseng and pearl powder for my sister will all come from you.

Achoo, Achoo!

Doctor Xiao sneezed twice in a row, rubbed his nose, and muttered, "Could it be that I caught a cold last night?"

His apprentice said beside him, "Master, you must take care of your health."

After the two returned to the back courtyard of the medical hall, Steward Ran immediately came up and asked, "Doctor Xiao, when will you set Miss Ran's broken bone?"

Doctor Xiao glanced at him and said, "I won't set it today."

"Not set it! Why?" Steward Ran was anxious and asked, "When will you do it?"

The lady was waiting for his good news; if Miss Ran's leg bone was not broken and reset soon, when would she be able to pass away?

Doctor Xiao gestured with his hands and said, "I only need to inform the Ran Family of the method. As long as the Ran Family sees others curing their lameness with this method, I have nothing to do with the rest. If Steward Ran wants to know, he should go ask Nanny Chu or Doctors Fang and Chu."

Hmph, Steward Ran is so anxious, it must be related to Miss Ran's poisoning.

Seeing that he could not obtain any useful information, Steward Ran immediately turned to find Nanny Chu, only to see that they had already packed up and were helping Miss Ran, who was wearing a veiled hat, to leave.

Steward Ran promptly bowed and asked, "Nanny Chu, where are you taking the young lady? You are not treating her injury?"

Nanny Chu replied, "The young lady is unwell. The doctors have said that she needs to recover for a few days before treating the injury, or else the young lady might not withstand it."

Steward Ran asked further, "The young lady is unwell? Did she contract some acute illness?"

Doctor Chu replied, "It's just a cold that has turned into a fever. She will be fine after resting for two or three days."

Steward Ran frowned upon hearing this. How could it be such a coincidence that she fell sick today when she came for bone-setting? Could it be that something was discovered?

A chill ran through him as he thought about Doctor Xiao bringing a maid into the room, where a group of people were closeted, murmuring about something. Could it be that they had detected the young lady's poisoning at that time?

Impossible.

That Miss Gu is but a farmer girl; she could not have medical knowledge, and the poison inside the young lady required a mix of several herbs to take effect. Right now, there was no poison in the young lady.

"Steward Ran, go prepare the carriage. We are returning to the separate yard now," Miss Ran said, seeing Steward Ran continuously asking questions.

Upon hearing this, Steward Ran did not dare to dwell further and bowed respectfully, responding, "Yes."

Miss Ran, along with a group of servants, took a carriage from the back door of Qingshan Medical Hall back to the Ran Family's separate yard within the Prefecture.

Chief Maid Qiong'er was surprised to see her return so soon and hurriedly went up to her, asking, "Young lady, you've come back so quickly?"

She laughed and said, "The doctors at Qingshan Medical Hall truly have exceptional medical skills. Such a severe bone injury healed in just three hours; it's truly divine medical expertise."

Miss Ran replied, "I am unwell, so I did not get my leg injury looked at today. I will go again in a few days."

With that, she was assisted back to her room by Nanny Chu, leaving behind an astonished Qiong'er.

Not treating the leg injury?

Then, then...

Qiong'er quickly followed, wanting to serve Miss Ran, but was sent away by Nanny Chu, "The young lady has contracted a fever. You go prepare the medicine; there's no need to attend here."

Preparing medicine for the master was a task traditionally entrusted to a confidant maid. Upon hearing this, Qiong'er was reassured and replied, "Yes."

She then turned to find Doctor Chu to get medicine to prepare it for Miss Ran.

Miss Ran sat in the room, staring at the door, listening to the gradually fading footsteps of Qiong'er, and let out a cold laugh, but said nothing more.

Nanny Chu comforted her, "Young lady, there's no need to feel disheartened. Some people are never satisfied and will suffer for it one day, but they cannot blame others."

Miss Ran reassured her, "Mammy, don't worry. I won't be heartbroken over such people."

Then she added, "Get the Chu Family's Pendant that my grandfather gave me. Tonight, send someone to give it to Miss Gu as a token of gratitude."

Nanny Chu was startled to hear this, "Giving the Chu Family's Pendant to Miss Gu as a token of gratitude, isn't that gift too generous?"

A jade pendant from a noble family is a token of trust. As long as one holds the jade pendant and goes to the family's shops and manors for help, if the imprint on the pendant matches, one can receive assistance from the noble family's properties along the way.
