A daughter from a prominent family is desired by many, yet the daughter of the Yong family is sought by none. Noble families consider her nouveau riche and vulgar, while scholarly houses pride them...
"You treated my illness, so I should be grateful to you. Alright, enough said. The old man must be getting impatient. Go see him now. I'll go with you for now. Don't refuse. I'm worried about you doing this. Don't worry, I'm not someone to be trifled with." She winked at Zhao Shu, her eyes full of doting smiles.
Seeing her determination, Zhao Shu stopped refusing. "Then Grandma can go back to the city and stay with Ajun. For now, it's better for you to stay with Auntie. Auntie must promise Ajun, otherwise Ajun won't want Grandma."
Huo Danlan nodded, which was considered an agreement to her request, which wasn't really a request.
In short, she was accepting Huo Danlan's kindness and felt indebted to her, but she couldn't think of any way to repay her kindness.
What she had, Huo Danlan had more of; what she didn't have, Huo Danlan also had. The only thing she could offer was the prescription she still remembered. "Auntie took off her face towel to show me, she's much better now."
Huo Danlan took off her face mask and said with a smile, "Grandma and Magpie both said it was a bit small, Ah Jun, take a look and see if it is."
Zhao Shu looked around. It was still too early to see any significant results, but seeing that Huo Danlan looked well, she smiled and nodded, "Well, at most a year, she'll be better."
In modern times, goiter can be completely cured in a month at most, and with surgery, it can be completely cured in a week. A year is actually a very slow time to recover.
Having received Zhao Shu's confirmation, Huo Danlan smiled even more heartily. She had an excellent temperament and exquisite features, and her smile was even more breathtaking. It was a real pity that she had spent her teenage years and early twenties with her face covered by cloth. It was hard to imagine that she could not fully enjoy the poetry and tea parties of the noble ladies.
"Go find the old man quickly, he seems extremely anxious." Huo Danlan put her face mask back on and pushed Zhao Shu out the door.
A cold wind swept over her, and Huo Danlan opened her cloak and draped it over her. "Lord Wei is also seriously injured, and the Crown Prince cannot visit him. You go in his place. Do not be impolite. To outsiders, you and the Crown Prince are family, do you understand?" she said as she tied the cloak around her neck.
Zhao Shu nodded, "I understand, Aunt." There are quite a few people who want the Crown Prince to die. If he can get Wei Tingsi's assistance, his future will be easier.
