Ruan Banxia stepped aside and called Meng Chuying over.

"Chu Ying, you treat the patient first, and I'll see if you've made any progress lately."

"Yes, Master."

Chen Sheng and Xia Zhenzhen both knew Meng Chuying. At first, they thought Meng Chuying was just a medicine boy carrying a medicine box, but they didn't expect her to be the apprentice of the beautiful doctor in front of them.

He just wondered to himself, Meng Chuying is still a child after all, is she really capable?

Meng Chuying was not nervous at all. Such tests happened often. Like Ruan Banxia, ​​she skillfully placed her hand on the pulse of the person on the bed.

After carefully taking her pulse, she stood aside.

Ruan Banxia didn't say anything and sat down on the stool in front of the bed.

They took Meng Aji's mother's pulse; she was fifty years old, but her body was like that of a seventy-year-old.

After she finished her consultation, she and Meng Chuying went to the table together.

They opened the medicine box, each took a pen, dipped it in ink, and began writing their own prescriptions.

Then they compared the ingredients and determined which herb Ruan Banxia had added too much of and which she had added too little of for Meng Chuying, and how to adjust it to best benefit the patient.

Afterwards, Ruan Banxia asked Meng Aji, "Do you still have the prescription for the medicine you got earlier?" Meng Aji nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, I'll go get it right away."

After reviewing the prescription, Ruan Banxia discovered a problem with the prescription that Meng Aji had ordered.

"After a long illness, my body is weak and cannot tolerate tonics. One of the herbs in the previous prescription was aggravated, causing the medicine to be unabsorbed and accumulate in my body as toxins."

"Go and get the medicine according to my prescription. If you take it consistently for a period of time, your mother might still be saved."

Upon hearing that his mother could still be saved, Meng Aji quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

This was his way of expressing gratitude, besides paying for the consultation.

"Thank you so much, Physician Ruan! Thank you so much, Physician Ruan!"

"No need to thank me. Whenever you have time, just go and get all the medicine and brew it. Then give it to your mother as I instructed."

He had seen doctors for many years, but his mother's illness was never cured.

There was once some hope, but slowly, that hope was worn away by time.

Now that a doctor has said he can cure it, Meng Aji is very happy.

Back at Cheng Qingyan's house, Cheng Qingyan's gossipy heart was pounding!

Ye Lingyu couldn't stand it, so she made an excuse to send Shen Ziyu away.

Now that Cheng Qingyan had the chance, he quickly approached Ruan Banxia with a gossipy look on his face.

As she approached, Ruan Banxia knew what she wanted to ask.

She sighed heavily: "I had a fight with her, or rather, it wasn't really a fight, it was just me being unhappy."

After saying that, he glanced at Cheng Qingyan sideways and said, "I know you've wanted to ask about this ever since you came to my house, but you just haven't had a chance to bring it up."

"Let me make this clear first, it's not that I wanted to say it, it's just that I thought my sister-in-law wanted to hear it too, so you got the benefit."

"However, it's quite funny to see you want to ask but don't dare to, looking so hesitant."

Cheng Qingyan quickly sat back down next to Ye Lingyu and took a sip of tea: "Then you should keep quiet and keep it to yourself. My wife and I are not interested in other people's business."

"By the way, it's kind of funny to see you two arguing~"

This remark earned him a big eye roll from Ruan Banxia.

After a long pause, she murmured, "It seems she's going back. This place never truly belonged to her."

There was a hint of regret and reluctance in her voice; only she knew whether regret or reluctance outweighed it.

"A letter arrived from Kyoto a couple of days ago, looking for her."

"After she read it, she sat alone for a long time, and then told me that she would be leaving for Beijing in the next two days."

"Let me take care of myself, haha~"

When Ruan Banxia said this, she smiled, as if she were mocking herself.

But that laughter was somewhat heartbreaking to hear.

"If leaving was inevitable, why bother coming here in the first place?"

Perhaps no one expected these things to happen. We met and got to know each other. Who could have imagined that our fate would be so extraordinary!

The one who falls in love first is destined to be the loser in love.

Kyoto and Ennei Prefecture are separated by more than a thousand miles.

At this time, travel is slow, and who knows if the next time we meet, half a lifetime will have passed?

No wonder Ruan Banxia was a little upset. The person she had admired for so long was suddenly leaving. How could she not be sad?

Shen Ziyu is leaving in the next couple of days, but she hasn't mentioned it once all day. She's such a quiet person.

I want to leave quietly, just like I came.

What a ruthless person! So heartless and cold-blooded!

"Brother Shen, I never would have guessed, he's a scoundrel after all!" Cheng Qingyan said viciously.

Ruan Banxia's lips curled up in a smile: "Yes, well said, he really is a bastard!"

"Absolutely heartless! Ruthless and cruel! Inhuman and depraved!"

Wow, this is getting more and more outrageous...

Ye Lingyu was sitting right in front of Shen Ziyu walking over from a distance.

She stood up and said to Ruan Banxia, ​​"If you feel good about cursing, then curse a few more times. Don't keep yourself brooding. I'm going to check on Jiangjiang."

Then she glanced at Cheng Qingyan and looked towards the door, and Cheng Qingyan immediately understood.

"Wife, go see Jiangjiang, and then have Uncle Mu put the wine I brought back last time in cold water to chill it."

"Tonight, let Doctor Ruan try the wine we bought."

"Okay~"

After Ye Lingyu left, Cheng Qingyan and Ruan Banxia started cursing Shen Ziyu again.

She is a good person and loyal in her actions, but that doesn't stop Cheng Qingyan from scolding her.

It's unclear how far her relationship with Ruan Banxia has progressed, but Ruan Banxia's feelings for her are unlikely to be severed anytime soon.

You have to admire Shen Ziyu's decisiveness; after being together for so long, she could end things just like that.

Did she really never have feelings for Ruan Banxia?

That shouldn't be happening!

Those eyes of hers must be Maki's identification device!

How could anyone possibly escape her, Jida?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

On Shen Ziyu's body, her Ji Da rang countless times.

Judging from the way she looked at Ruan Banxia, ​​no one would believe there was no affection between them!

However, even with today's convenient transportation, long-distance relationships rarely end well.

At this time, even with the fastest horse, it would take almost a month to travel from here to Kyoto.

Back and forth, meeting once, half a year has passed.

Does this mean that from now on, Ruan Banxia and Shen Ziyu will spend half of the year on the road and the other half at home longing for each other?

Startled by his own thoughts, Cheng Qingyan quickly shook his head.

Ruan Banxia was confused by her inexplicable actions and frowned, asking, "What's wrong? Why are you shaking your head all of a sudden? Does your head hurt?"

Wow, I have to say, this doctor really does have a different perspective on things.
