Yun Xi was displaced in the countryside for seventeen years. One day, she was found, only to tragically die on a rainy night.
She was forced to be a surrogate for her legitimate elder sister,...
Chapter 263
God knows how she's been getting through these days!
From the beginning, she had to watch other women have sex with her husband. Later, when that slut rose to power, she had a lot of tricks up her sleeve, but they were all held back by her body and she couldn't use them.
Now things are much better, the doctor has arrived, and she finally has hope!
If it weren't so late, Yun Wan would have loved to go home right now.
Perhaps it was because she had something on her mind that Yun Wan found this night particularly difficult to endure.
She barely slept all night and returned to the Yun family by carriage early the next morning.
When she arrived, Madam Yun had just finished packing.
Seeing the undisguised urgency on Yun Wan's face, Madam Yun didn't delay and immediately ordered her servants to fetch the doctor.
The doctor hadn't arrived yet, but a young man came first.
Although the young man had handsome features, his complexion was dark and his skin was somewhat rough, perhaps due to being exposed to the wind and sun outside. He was quite different from the pampered young noblemen in Luoyang City, yet he exuded a unique charm.
"Wanwan." The young man smiled warmly.
Yun Wan was slightly taken aback, then realized what he meant: "Cousin?"
Yun Ruiyang was somewhat displeased with her reaction: "What, after so long, you still don't recognize me?"
Before Yun Wan could speak, Yun Ruiyang put on a look of being betrayed by a heartless man: "Sigh, I've been running around for you all this time, and you've forgotten about me!"
"Cousin, can you be serious for once?" Yun Wan said helplessly. "How could I not appreciate your concern for me? It's just that you've changed so much that I didn't recognize you at first glance."
Seeing her explaining so earnestly, Yun Ruiyang smiled and said, "I was just kidding."
Madam Yun laughed heartily: "You two are still the same as before, always joking around when you get together!"
Yun Wan smiled, but her mind was elsewhere.
Just then, the doctor finally arrived.
He was an elderly man in his fifties or sixties, dressed in coarse cloth. Although he had an ordinary appearance, his calm and composed demeanor commanded respect.
"This is Doctor Feng," Madam Yun said. "Doctor Feng has traveled to various places and has seen many difficult and complicated diseases. His medical skills are superb!"
Yun Wan quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "Greetings, sir."
Doctor Feng waved his hand and said, "There's no need for further words, please sit down, Madam."
He got straight to the point as soon as he arrived, and Yun Wan was happy to skip the small talk and quickly sat down, placing her hand on the pulse pillow.
Doctor Feng took the pulse with his fingers, his expression gradually becoming serious. Seeing this, everyone in the hall involuntarily held their breath.
After a long while, Doctor Feng removed his fingers: "This illness is indeed complicated, but I saw a similar case to yours many years ago, and it wasn't troublesome."
Upon hearing Doctor Feng's words, everyone beamed with joy.
Yun Wan, in particular, almost had her heart jump out of her chest.
She can be saved!
"Doctor Feng, if we start recuperating now, how long will it take to see results?" Yun Wan asked impatiently.
"Madam's health is quite good. I'll prescribe one dose of medicine first, and we'll see how she is in seven days," said Doctor Feng.
Yun Wan nodded: "Thank you for your trouble, Doctor Feng."
"It's nothing."
Doctor Feng wrote down the prescription, and Pearl hurriedly went to get the medicine.
"Madam, just follow the prescription. It's getting late, and I have to go out for free medical consultations. I'll take my leave now."
Madam Yun also stood up: "Sir, you are truly a benevolent doctor. I will see you out."
The two left together, leaving only the brother and sister in the hall.
Yun Ruiyang's gaze involuntarily fell on Yun Wan, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
Over the years, Yun Wan has grown even more beautiful, so much so that it's impossible to look away.
"I heard your brother-in-law is the heir of a marquis's family. How is he? Is he good to you?"
“…It’s not really a good or bad thing,” Yun Wan said, “In short, I wasn’t wronged.”
“Wanwan has really grown up. Now she’s starting to be perfunctory with me,” Yun Ruiyang shook his head. “I heard that my brother-in-law took a concubine not long after marrying you. Is that what you call not mistreating yourself?”
As he spoke, Yun Ruiyang's voice carried a hint of anger.
Wanwan is such a good person. To have her as a wife should be the greatest blessing of a man's life. How could anyone treat her like this?!
“You can’t blame my husband, it’s just that the vixen is very clever,” Yun Wan said to her cousin without hiding anything. “Cousin doesn’t know, that vixen is very powerful. She has my husband completely bewitched. I’m being held back by this body, and I can’t use any of my skills. I’m so frustrated!”
