Marrying a Powerful Minister and Living as a Widow? The Transmigrated Cannon Fodder Refuses!

Jiang Yuzhu transmigrated into a book, becoming Xie Zhao's early-deceased original wife. The story begins with a bang: the original owner is on her way to commit adultery, a scheme orchestrated...

Chapter 220: Fraud?

After lying down and covering herself with a thick quilt, Jiang Yuzhu successfully got into the role.

After pretending to be sick for a few days, Jiang Yuzhu successfully cheated. Not only did she look sick with makeup, she also had a secret weapon.

Her constitution is particularly sensitive to Salvia miltiorrhiza and Codonopsis pilosula. Just drinking a little will speed up her heartbeat, which is enough to change her pulse.

The doctor came to take the patient's pulse and noticed something, but he couldn't offer a solution.

Ningxiang went out again and brought in a young man in his twenties a quarter of an hour later.

The young man had a regular appearance, but his expression was too serious. He seemed to have a habit of frowning, and there were deep wrinkles between his eyebrows.

"Doctor Yan, my wife has been ill for a few days. She has seen several doctors and taken several prescriptions, but she has not gotten better."

Ningxiang secretly looked at Doctor Yan and felt that this man was very difficult to talk to.

Just now at the gatehouse, Doctor Yan took the gatekeeper's pulse and gave him a plaster for treating chronic cold legs for free. Ningxiang then realized that he was of some importance and was the young master of Jishidiang.

After explaining the basic situation, Ningxiang went to the inner room to report the information she had gathered: "Madam, Doctor Yan is no ordinary person!"

There are more than a hundred Jishidiangs in Daqi. They are both medical clinics and medicine vendors, and they do business for wealthy families.

I heard that the doctors at Jishidiang are very skilled and can cure any disease with their medicine.

In the capital, Jiang Yuzhu passed by several times and heard that most of the wealthy families went to Jishiditang to seek medical treatment and medicine.

There was a sound of footsteps at the door, and Yan Lin walked quickly into the inner room carrying a medicine box, bringing up a gust of wind.

Hongxiu and Hongjin followed closely behind, staring at the bed with eager eyes.

Faced with the two men's wary eyes, the other doctors felt somewhat uncomfortable. Most of them said that they could not concentrate on taking people's pulses and were chasing them away in disguise.

Yan Lin sat on the chair beside the bed as if no one was around.

Next, Jiang Yuzhu stretched out a hand, and Yan Lin closed his eyes and placed his hand on it, and then there was no movement.

After a long while, just when Jiang Yuzhu was about to lie still, Yan Lin opened his eyes, and a look of understanding flashed in his eyes.

"Doctor Yan, my wife's illness..."

Ningxiang hesitated and stepped forward, handing out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

According to the procedure, after taking the pulse, the doctor will first say a few irrelevant jargons, and then prescribe a prescription to end the consultation.

Yan Lin waved his hand, took out a handkerchief from the medicine box, and handed it to her, saying, "Madam Xie, why don't you use this handkerchief to wipe your face? Most of the rouge and powder on your face contain lead powder. If you wear makeup for a long time, your face will easily get spots."

Jiang Yuzhu slowly opened her eyes and stared at the handkerchief with some hesitation.

Yan Lin leaned back in his chair, his expression condescending and scrutinizing. He simply asked, "Why is Madam Xie pretending to be sick?"

The rapid pulse is just an illusion.

After running and jumping, a person's pulse will beat faster than usual.

Jiang Yuzhu has good qi and blood. It can be seen that she uses medicinal food to nourish herself on a daily basis and has no problems at all.

There was a faint smell of alcohol by the bed.

Jiang Yuzhu was helped to sit up by the maid. She smelled the source of the wine and asked, "Is this handkerchief soaked in wine?"

Yan Lin nodded seriously and explained, "It's originally used to disinfect wounds. Since Madam Xie has no external injuries, then use it to cleanse her face."

Although the wine mixed with water is irritating, it can effectively remove lead powder from the face and wipe it clean.

Jiang Yuzhu: “…”

So Yan Lin used alcohol-like water as makeup remover? He knows a lot.

It can be seen that Yan Lin is not testing him, but has real ability.

Jiang Yuzhu wiped off her makeup, no need to beat around the bush: "Doctor Yan, I have my reasons for pretending to be sick, I hope you can keep it a secret."

Jiang Yuzhu gritted her teeth and stretched out five fingers, saying that she was willing to pay five hundred taels of silver as hush money.

Yan Lin shook his head, his expression calm and unperturbed: "Thank you, Madam, the money is not necessary."

As a doctor, you have the responsibility to keep patients' secrets.

Although Jiang Yuzhu is not a patient, there is no need for Yan Lin to be a big mouth.

Yan Lin had just arrived in the border town last night. After hearing what the owner of Jishiditang was muttering, he skipped breakfast and went straight to Jiang Yuzhu's house.

I originally thought that I would have the opportunity to show my skills when encountering a difficult and complicated case, but it turned out to be a wasted trip.

"Ningxiang, pay Doctor Yan the consultation fee!"

How could a doctor at Jishitang not be greedy for money? It's just a nice way of saying it.

Jiang Yuzhu asked Ningxiang to send silver, but was rejected by Yan Lin again.

The two refused, and Jiang Yuzhu became more interested. She asked, "Doctor Yan, other doctors who come to treat me are all frightened by the speed of my heartbeat. How is it that you can see through it so easily?"

Yan Lin did not hide it and pointed to the small bowl placed outside.

"Thank you, Madam. I have a keen sense of smell. I smelled the scent of salvia miltiorrhiza as soon as I entered the room. Everything is just speculation."

First, it was diagnosed that Jiang Yuzhu had no symptoms, and then based on her heart rate and the salvia water in the room, it was speculated that she had a sensitive constitution.

Jiang Yuzhu rubbed her forehead. It was a pity that a talent like Yan Lin didn't go to the yamen to investigate cases. He was born in the year of the dog!

"Doctor Yan, to be honest, this lady knows a thing or two about external injuries. We might as well discuss it if there's a chance."

There are not many doctors who can perform surgery in the camp north of the city, and there is an urgent need for people with excellent medical skills.

Yan Linlu's hands gave Jiang Yuzhu an idea.

If you recruit people, it means you have more helpers.

"Thank you, Madam..."

Yan Lin was about to refuse when he heard Hongli's noisy shouting from the door.

"Madam, Liang An insisted on chopping wood and injured his hand. The wound is quite deep. I think it will need stitches!"

Speaking of which, Liang An is Jiang Yuzhu's man.

Liang An was injured and several maids were very anxious. Hongli pulled Liang An into the house.

Hongli knows how to sew, but how can her skills compare to Madam's?

Seeing that Liang An was seriously injured, I had to trouble Madam for help.
