Ning Huan glanced outside and realized there was still time to catch the oxcart, so she nodded in agreement.
As soon as the group arrived at the Wan residence, the Wan family's steward rushed up to greet them: "Oh dear, Manager Si, you've finally arrived! Our lady has fainted. We prepared the ginseng soup, but she couldn't drink it. She vomited up two out of every three mouthfuls we poured in!"
Si Yan didn't say much and went straight to Madam Wan's room with the butler.
As soon as they entered, they saw Master Wan pacing anxiously inside. Upon seeing the visitor, he hurriedly said, "Manager Si, please come in and see my wife!"
Ning Huan sized up this Master Wan. He was obese and even started panting after taking a few steps.
Master Wan took them to see Madam Wan. Although she was frail, her complexion was not sallow like that of someone who had been ill for a long time. Instead, it was quite rosy because she had been taking various tonics for a long time.
Si Yan first took Madam Wan's pulse and then examined her. He found that, normally, Madam Wan should not be so ill.
He shook his head helplessly. He said to Master Wan, "Madam's time is near. In her final moments, please speak with her."
Hearing this, Master Wan looked incredulous and said with a hint of anger, "Manager Si, what do you mean by that! You promised you would definitely save my wife, so how come she's about to die! Is it because you don't have enough money? I'll pay, I'll pay whatever it takes!"
Ning Huan raised an eyebrow. Ever since entering the Wan residence, she had sensed that the entire Wan family exuded an air of wealth.
But many things in this world cannot be solved with money.
Time, love, friendship... and life.
Si Yan looked at Ning Huan, who was standing to the side: "Madam Ning, would you please come forward and let Madam Wan take a look?"
Ning Huan hesitated for a moment and was about to step forward when someone behind her stopped her, saying, "Wait! Who is this woman? How can she just treat my lady like this!"
Everyone turned to look and saw that the man was the Wan family's steward. He looked at Master Wan with a serious expression and said, "Master, Madam is seriously ill. How can we let just anyone treat her at such a critical time? If this Manager Si can't cure her, we'll just go to another clinic!"
Si Yan explained, "This lady also knows some medicine, and the century-old ginseng that Madam Wan used today was hers."
The Wan family steward said, "He only knows some medical skills. What is the status of my lady? To come and treat her with only some medical skills is an insult to her! Even if the ginseng used by our lady came from this lady, didn't our Wan family pay for it?"
Before Master Wan could speak, Ning Huan said calmly, "Butler, if your stomach is upset, you should go and drink some hot water now."
Everyone present immediately turned to look at the Wan family's steward.
The butler was quite surprised: "How did you know I had an upset stomach?"
Ning Huan chuckled lightly: "Also, if you have an upset stomach, eat less fried food, it's bad for your stomach."
Hearing this, the butler was even more surprised, and Master Wan, who was standing next to him, also said, "How did you know that his favorite food is fried cake?"
She said calmly, "I can tell from observation, listening, questioning, and palpation."
Then, when no one was paying attention, she took out a stomach-soothing pill from her consciousness space from her sleeve, handed it to the butler, and said, "Your stomach is hurting, you can take this stomach-soothing pill to relieve it."
After the steward of the Wan family took the stomach-soothing pill with some skepticism, his stomach pain immediately subsided.
He exclaimed in surprise, "My wife is amazing! My stomachache is much better now. Just now, the pain was so bad that I could barely stand up!"
Now everyone felt that the plump woman in front of them had some really good medical skills, and no one dared to question Ning Huan anymore.
Seeing this, Master Wan hurriedly asked her to go forward and treat Madam Wan, and the butler no longer stopped her.
In fact, Ning Huan's medical skills are indeed quite good, but she is not yet capable of diagnosing illnesses without taking a pulse. She was able to tell because she saw the words "fried cake" floating on the butler's body.
Ning Huan took Wan Niangzi's pulse and found that her body was indeed very weak. However, apart from the fact that Si Yan had mentioned on the way that she was weak all year round and had been frightened by falling into the water, her pulse was also somewhat abnormal and not quite right.
However, there was no time to think about what was going on. Now, Madam Wan's life hung by a thread. If she was properly treated with ginseng soup, she might have a chance to survive.
She then said to Si Yan, "Manager Si, although Madam's condition is not good, if we steam Huiming grass with dew juice and then put it into ginseng soup for Madam to drink, there may still be a glimmer of hope."
Upon hearing this, Master Wan hurriedly sent someone to prepare it. Soon after, the steamed broth was brought up. Ning Huan put it into the century-old ginseng soup and then fed it to Madam Wan.
Everyone was worried that Madam Wan would vomit the medicine, but Ning Huan's technique was so exquisite that after she fed the medicine to Madam Wan, there was no reaction at all.
Before long, Madam Wan woke up. Although her voice was very weak, she had recovered.
Ning Huan said to Master Wan, "The fact that Madam has woken up means she's alright. I'll write a prescription for Manager Si in a bit. You can give it to Madam twice a day according to this prescription, and she'll be fully recovered in less than two months."
Master Wan breathed a sigh of relief and repeatedly thanked Ning Huan and Si Yan.
After learning the whole story, Madam Wan thanked Ning Huan, saying, "Thank you for saving my life, madam. If you don't mind, consider this a favor I owe you. If you ever need anything in the future, I will definitely help you."
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at Ning Huan with envy.
Madam Wan's favor is equivalent to Master Wan's favor, and Master Wan's favor is equivalent to the favor of the entire Wan family!
Moreover, the Wan family couple valued promises above all else. If this woman wanted to use this favor to exchange for the moon in the sky, Madam Wan could probably pluck it down for her.
To everyone's surprise, Ning Huan didn't care about this so-called favor. She smiled faintly at Madam Wan and said, "Madam, you are still not well. You should talk less and rest more. After seven days, I would suggest that you move around a bit."
Seeing that Ning Huan did not care about fame and fortune, Madam Wan was even more satisfied with this doctor.
When Ning Huan finished writing the prescription and gave it to Si Yan for verification, she looked at Master Wan beside her, thought for a moment, and couldn't help but remind him, "Master Wan, you should pay more attention to your health. Being too fat will affect your well-being..."
