Ye Lingyu was puzzled and looked worried.

"But Dr. Ruan, didn't you say the prescription was adjusted? Is there another problem?"

At this point, Ruan Banxia paused in her work of turning over the medicinal herbs. She could tease Cheng Qingyan, but she couldn't bring herself to lie to Ye Lingyu, who cared about Cheng Qingyan.

"You don't need to worry, I just added some Coptis chinensis to her medicine."

Then Ruan Banxia added, "It's her fault for saying my porridge tastes bad. I'm going to let her know that there are many things that taste worse than my porridge."

Hearing this, Ye Lingyu smiled helplessly. These two adults with childlike mindsets really didn't know what to say to her.

“Madam Cheng, if you feel sorry for her, I will remove the bitter herbs next time.”

Ye Lingyu shook her head: "It's alright, as long as it doesn't harm her body. It's not a bad thing for her to suffer a little and learn a lesson."

Ye Lingyu was somewhat worried about Cheng Qingyan's two high fevers. The first time, she was delirious with fever. Although she couldn't blame Cheng Qingyan for the second fever, Ye Lingyu really didn't want to see her sick again.

Ruan Banxia stopped what she was doing and looked at Ye Lingyu's departing figure with a meaningful gaze. This Cheng family lady is really interesting.

After staying at Ruan Banxia's house for three days, Cheng Qingyan had resumed her normal activities.

Meng Chuying can walk again, but she is still a little weak.

In the past few days, quite a few people have come to see Ruan Banxia for medical treatment, and some have also brought her gifts. Ruan Banxia also goes out to collect herbs, but villagers also sell her some herbs they gather in the mountains.

Ruan Banxia's house was filled with the smell of herbs not only inside but also in the yard.

To Cheng Qingyan’s surprise, during the few days he stayed with Ruan Banxia, ​​he did not find any signs of mosquitoes.

This made her extremely happy. Now that she was in ancient times, summer was just around the corner, and the problem of mosquito bites definitely needed to be solved.

Knowing that he was about to return, Cheng Qingyan was unwilling to let go of the deworming medicine from Ruan Banxia's place.

While Ruan Banxia was drying medicinal herbs again, Cheng Qingyan and Meng Chuying sat on the veranda and asked, "Doctor Ruan, we're leaving this afternoon. Could you prescribe some deworming medicine for us?"

Without turning her head, Ruan Banxia said, "Sure, give me the money, I'll make as much as you want."

"Of course I'll pay. Please prepare a few doses, and I'll settle the bill with you later." Paying for medicine is a matter of course.

"Alright, I'll get it set up for you in a bit. By the way, would you like a few sets made for Miss Meng as well?"

Meng Chuying shook her head like a rattle-drum, successfully making herself dizzy: "No, no need, I can't afford it."

Ruan Banxia smiled and turned around: "No need for Miss Meng to buy them. I'll give you a few for free. You can take them home and hang them up."

Meng Chuying was delighted, but then felt that this was not quite right, and quickly refused, saying, "I already owe Dr. Ruan a lot for treating my illness, and I can't take any more of Dr. Ruan's medicine."

Ruan Banxia said nonchalantly, "I can afford to give you a few doses of deworming medicine. Miss Meng, there's no need to refuse anymore. It's settled then."

Cheng Qingyan clicked her tongue and tsk tsk, "Look, we're all human, but the difference is so great!"

Upon seeing Ye Lingyu approach, Cheng Qingyan immediately ran over to complain.

"Waaaaah, my wife, Doctor Ruan and Meng Chuying are bullying me! I'm so unlucky!"

Because she was leaving, Ye Lingyu was packing her things inside the house and had no idea what had happened.

"Oh? How did they bully you? Tell me about it?"

Cheng Qingyan was speechless. How could she possibly say anything?

The medicinal herbs belong to Ruan Banxia. Who she gives them to or sells them to has nothing to do with Cheng Qingyan.

Even if we sell it to her and then throw some away, it has nothing to do with her.

She just instinctively wanted to act cute when she saw Ye Lingyu.

Realizing that she actually wanted to act cute with Ye Lingyu and get Ye Lingyu on her side, Cheng Qingyan suddenly felt a little shy.

Ruan Banxia and Meng Chuying were watching from the side. How could a "man" act so girlishly!

Composing himself, Cheng Qingyan cleared his throat to cover his embarrassment: "Ahem, it's nothing, it's just that I noticed there are no mosquitoes in Doctor Ruan's courtyard, so I wanted to ask him to prescribe some herbs. We'll hang them in our house then, so there won't be any mosquitoes in our house either."

Ye Lingyu nodded: "Okay, whatever you wish, husband."

Ruan Banxia smiled but didn't say anything, while Meng Chuying sat to the side, unable to bear watching Cheng Qingyan's performance.

After lunch, Ye Lingyu and Cheng Qingyan voluntarily helped clear the dishes and clean the room before saying goodbye and leaving.

I stayed at Ruan Banxia's house for a few days, and the medical expenses totaled two taels of silver.

Meng Xinyu drove a borrowed oxcart from the village to pick them up; Meng Chuying's health had not yet fully recovered.

Ruan Banxia brought Meng Chuying some medicine: "You have to brew it and drink it when you get back. You can't be lazy and skip it. This is deworming medicine for Miss Meng. Miss Meng, please keep it safe."

She handed the medicine that Meng Chuying needed to drink to Ye Lingyu, and then handed Cheng Qingyan a string of herbs, a small portion, but wrapped in several packets.

"Young Master Cheng, here are the mosquito-repelling herbs you requested. Hang them by the door when you get home, and they will reduce mosquitoes. Replace them every month. Here are five doses."

Cheng Qingyan called out to Ye Lingyu, "Wife, I'm out of money!"

Ye Lingyu took out some silver and handed it to Ruan Banxia, ​​but Ruan Banxia did not take it.

Ruan Banxia took two steps back: "I was just joking with Mr. Cheng before. Madam Cheng, you should take the money back. The herbs picked on the mountain aren't worth much, and I often make them for the villagers."

"Then thank you very much, Physician Ruan."

Cheng Qingyan laughed from the side, "If Doctor Ruan has the chance to come to Mengjia Village, my wife's cooking is delicious!"

After spending a few days together, we went from being patients to being friends who could joke around.

"Thank you for your kindness, Young Master Cheng. We will meet again if we have the chance."

After watching the group drive away, Ruan Banxia turned around and went back to the courtyard.

The once lively courtyard became deserted and quiet after the departure of the group.

Perhaps, her home was always this quiet and desolate.

Unlike last time, Cheng Qingyan and his group were not in a hurry to travel. This time, the oxcart traveled slowly, and they didn't arrive back at Mengjia Village until almost Shenshi (3-5 PM).

As the sun sets in the west, its afterglow spills down, painting the mountaintops red.

When Meng Xinyu delivered the person home, Meng Pingkang, along with the children, was waiting at Cheng Qingyan's door.

Upon seeing the group return safely, the villagers all came forward to inquire after them.

The courtyard of Cheng Qingyan's house suddenly became lively, like a market.

Some people were carrying vegetables, others were carrying eggs, saying that Meng Chuying had injured her body and needed to recover.

Meng Xinyu's wife was carrying an old hen, saying she was going to kill it to make soup for Meng Chuying to nourish her body.
