The white-bearded old man, who had been called Doctor Zhang, breathed a sigh of relief and was quickly helped into the carriage by the guards.
Upon seeing the silver needles stuck in Xie Yu's head, Doctor Zhang immediately frowned. "Who put these needles in the young lady's head? Don't they know that not only are they useless, but they will also worsen her headaches?"
The girl's deficiency was something she was born with. If acupuncture were effective, he wouldn't be so worried that he's losing all his hair and still hasn't come up with a good way to cure her.
Upon hearing this, Bai immediately became smug. "Doctor Zhang, you must examine the young lady carefully. This village doctor disguised as a woman has deceived Granny Gui. I reckon the young lady's condition might be more serious. You must carefully take her pulse."
This way, Granny Gui won't have to stay in the dark any longer.
Granny Gui merely frowned and glanced coldly at Madam Bai.
Jiang Yimian, on the other hand, remained calm and showed no sign of anxiety, as if she were listening to something unimportant.
Bai snorted coldly; she was just waiting to see how this village girl would die.
Xie Yu's deficiency was a condition that had been treated by many renowned doctors to no avail; only Doctor Zhang could barely control the illness.
This little village girl dared to dream of using her meager medical skills to curry favor with the powerful and wealthy—she was dreaming!
If Xie Yu really gets into trouble, this village girl can just wait to die.
Doctor Zhang quickly got off the carriage, his face showing not only confusion but also a hint of surprise.
He stroked his beard, looked at Jiang Yimian, and frowned, asking, "What did you feed the young lady?"
Jiang Yimian glanced at him and said indifferently, "Ginseng Nourishing Pills."
Dr. Zhang could hardly believe it. "Just this medicine?"
He would also prepare some mild tonic pills for Xie Yu on a regular basis, including ginseng nourishing pills, but these pills were only so-so in effect and had limited use, barely enough to regulate the body.
Every time Xie Yu had a headache, he was completely helpless and could only boil some soup to relieve the pain, which barely managed to control Xie Yu's headache.
Just now, when he took Xie Yu's pulse, he could clearly feel that the pulse, which had been weak before, seemed to be stronger, and even the pale complexion that usually appeared when Xie Yu was ill had improved a lot.
It's very different from how it was when I first got sick.
He didn't believe that such a small pill could achieve this.
Seeing that Doctor Zhang's expression was not right, Bai was secretly delighted and quickly said, "Doctor Zhang, did this person do something to the young lady's medicine?"
I'll take him back immediately and interrogate him thoroughly to find out who really wanted to harm the girl.
As soon as she finished speaking, she reached out to grab him.
Before Doctor Zhang could speak, a weak female voice rang out from inside the carriage, "Bai, stop."
Upon hearing this, everyone present was taken aback.
Granny Gui's face immediately lit up with joy, and she walked straight into the carriage.
Xie Yu also poked his head out of the carriage at this moment, looking at Bai Shi with cold eyes, "What does Madam Bai want to do? Miss Jiang is my savior."
Bai was startled. Staring at Xie Yu with cold eyes, she trembled all over and quickly explained, "Aunt, Miss, I, I was just afraid that she would do something bad and make your condition worse. I didn't mean anything else."
Xie Yu merely glanced at her and said coldly, "I remember you weren't at the villa when I came out today. How come we just happened to run into each other here?"
Bai was startled, her face paling slightly, but she still managed to say, "Miss, I was on my way to see my niece and just happened to be passing by when I heard that you had fallen ill, so I rushed over."
"Does the young lady suspect me? I'm innocent, young lady! I came to the manor with you to cure your illness, how could I possibly harm you?"
If she really wanted to harm the other party, why would she have followed Xie Yu out of the capital?
Xie Yu glanced at her briefly before saying indifferently, "Since Madam has no ill intentions, it would be best to be polite to my people. Otherwise, I might misunderstand and think that Madam wants to replace my people."
Bai was so frightened that she repeatedly said yes, not daring to say another word.
Xie Yu then looked at Jiang Yimian, a hint of a smile appearing on his cold face. "Miss Jiang, we really are destined to meet. You saved me this time, how do you want me to repay you?"
If Jiang Yimian hadn't arrived in time, she might have really been in trouble this time. That headache, a hundred times more intense than usual, almost took her life.
Jiang Yimian simply waved her hand, "Miss Xie, you're too kind. It was just a small favor. Now that you're awake, I'll help you remove the needles."
With that, she got into the carriage.
After removing the silver needles from several acupoints on Xie Yu, she took out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve and placed it on the table. "The young lady is weak, so it's best not to stop taking this medicine."
Xie Yu glanced at the porcelain vase, thanked her, and smiled, "Is Miss Jiang so kind to everyone?"
Jiang Yimian glanced at the person in front of her and said calmly, "Miss, you misunderstand. I just happened to run into Granny Gui and came to take a look. I didn't expect it to be Miss Xie."
She had a good impression of the person in front of her, and she didn't want anyone to misunderstand that she had any other intentions in coming to save people today.
Hearing this, Xie Yu laughed out loud, "You are quite different from what I imagined."
Jiang Yimian didn't think much of it. She took the pulse of the person in front of her again and, after confirming that there was nothing seriously wrong, said, "Miss is fine now. Just be careful in your daily life. I'll be going now."
After saying that, he got off the carriage.
Xie Yu poked his head out of the carriage and asked curiously, "Where does Miss Jiang live? I'll pay a visit another day to thank you for saving my life."
Jiang Yimian simply waved her hand, gave Doctor Zhang a few instructions, then nimbly mounted her horse and left.
As the horse disappeared at the end of the street, Xie Yu's eyes suddenly turned cold. Looking at Bai Shi's frightened face, he said indifferently, "Since your niece has been traumatized, please take good care of her these next few days. I don't need you to serve me for the time being."
After saying that, he lowered the curtain, leaned back in the carriage, and closed his eyes to rest.
Upon seeing this, Granny Gui and the maidservant quickly boarded the carriage.
On the way, Granny Gui recounted her encounter with Jiang Yimian and how Bai Shi had targeted her.
The maidservant chimed in, "We are truly grateful to Miss Jiang today. If it weren't for her timely intervention, by the time Doctor Zhang arrived, Miss might already be..."
Before she could finish speaking, Granny Gui frowned and scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? The young lady is blessed with good fortune, and she will definitely recover from this illness."
The maidservant, her eyes red, quickly apologized, "I misspoke, I'll slap myself right now."
Xie Yu merely twitched the corner of his mouth and said helplessly, "Alright, there's no need for such formalities with just the few of us. I've been watched by many people since I left the capital, and there are countless people who want me dead."
Although Bai didn't have the guts, it was hard to say who was using her.
When I get back, everyone except the people I brought from the capital will be replaced.
This time it was her oversight; she didn't expect those people to target the people around her. This time they only took the medicine, but what about next time?
She dared not think about it and could only be more careful.
Granny Gui quickly responded.
