Suddenly kicked out of Baifanglou, the group had nowhere to go, so Song Ruoan took it upon herself to bring them back to the Marquis's residence.
When Madam He and Madam Huang from the Marquis of Anding's residence saw that the ladies had been brought back by Song Ruo'an, they were both slightly surprised.
They hurriedly opened the flower hall and personally entertained the ladies there.
"I feel I have failed to provide adequate hospitality. The ladies have arrived so suddenly that I have nothing good to offer them."
Madam He sat in the main seat and greeted the ladies politely.
Huang was of average character, and her only biological son was timid and cowardly, so she did not have many close friends in the capital.
The arrival of so many ladies today, all of whom are He Yunce's superiors, truly surprised Old Madam He.
She hurriedly instructed the nanny beside her to have He Yunce show his face in the flower hall after he left the yamen.
At this moment, Lin Miaoxin appeared much more obedient: "I hope the old lady won't mind our sudden visit."
Madam Sun reached out and covered her knee, which no longer hurt, and nodded: "It's all because the old lady has such a good granddaughter-in-law."
"Your granddaughter-in-law's medical skills are superb, and she has the ability to bring the dead back to life. That's why we have taken the liberty of coming to your door to ask for treatment from the Second Young Mistress of the He family."
Upon hearing this, Old Madam He was startled, while Madam Huang said smugly:
“My granddaughter-in-law is a good doctor and a filial daughter-in-law. She cured my throat ailment that had plagued me for years. Please let her take a look at you.”
As she spoke, she looked at Old Madam He with a hint of reproach: "In the past, Mother was worried and unwilling to let Ruo'an go out for treatment. Today, the ladies have taken the initiative to come to our door. Now you understand, don't you?"
Madam He nodded, finally convinced.
As they spoke, Song Ruoan took the pulses of each of the ladies and asked a few probing questions about their conditions. Meanwhile, the renowned physician disguised himself as a servant of the Marquis's mansion and silently followed behind Song Ruoan.
Besides the known joint pain of Madam Sun and asthma of Miss Zhou, the other ladies also had their own ailments.
"Madam Lü, you are drinking and urinating frequently, eating a lot, yet you are losing weight and feeling tired in your limbs?"
Madam Lü nodded, and grasped Song Ruoan's hand with immense excitement, her gaunt face filled with hope.
"Miracle doctor, that's right. No one can cure me. My vision is becoming blurry."
Song Ruoan nodded. "Don't worry, you'll be fine in seven days."
She was determined to cure Lady Lü, whose husband was a secretary in the Imperial Secretariat, making her her husband's direct superior.
...
After Song Ruoan had examined the four ladies in a row, he confidently left the house.
After she stepped out the door, she turned to look at the divine physician Qihuang. Only after receiving his affirmative look did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.
She was able to cure four ladies at once, gaining both fame and fortune. In the future, neither Madam He nor Madam Huang dared to have a bad word to say about her.
The Marquis's mansion depends on her for everything!
After she finished brewing the medicine and returned to the flower hall, she saw that He Yunce had already left the government office and returned to the Marquis's residence. He was sitting next to Old Madam He and chatting with several ladies.
The ladies were all the wives of his superiors, and the conversation stirred his emotions.
Madam Lü praised, "Young Madam He is beautiful, and Young Master He is also very handsome. Now that you are on duty in the Secretariat, I will definitely have my husband help you."
Miss Zhou nodded as well: "Young Madam He does everything herself, and we will remember this kindness. Everyone knows that Young Master He is the Grand Secretary's favorite student, and he will probably be promoted soon."
The people inside the Marquis's residence were overjoyed to hear this.
Just then, Song Ruoan brought over the medicinal soup: "Ladies, the medicinal soup has arrived. Please drink one dose and see how you feel."
The ladies' eyes lit up. They took the medicine and drank it in small sips: "It's really too much trouble for the young mistress to personally prepare this."
After drinking it, Madam Sun immediately felt relaxed all over, and the stinging pain in her joints disappeared: "It really doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't hurt at all!"
Miss Zhou held Song Ruoan's hand tightly, her eyes filled with gratitude, almost to the point of tears: "The heavy stone that had been pressing on my chest every day seems to have disappeared at this moment, and I can really breathe again!"
"Really! Really! Your Marquis of Anding family has truly married a wonderful wife!"
Upon hearing this, He Yunze looked up and gazed at Song Ruoan from afar, finding her gentle yet capable, radiating a glow.
His heart pounded, and he felt that all the beauty in the world was concentrated in her: "Yes, Ruo'an is my lawfully wedded wife, the best woman in the world."
In this life, just like in the previous one, Ruo'an helped him cure his illness and smooth things over with his connections.
The only difference from the previous life is that Ruo'an can finally stand upright beside him, as his innocent wife.
Instead of being called widows, they wouldn't be accused of adultery.
Seeing the ladies' astonished reactions, Lin Miaoxin felt quite pleased. Remembering Song Ruoan's difficulties, she didn't hesitate to do her a favor, since she would need to rely on her for many things in the future.
"How much money is needed for the consultation? Ruo'an, you not only work hard, but the medicine is also top-notch and very expensive. This money is definitely necessary."
The other ladies also hurriedly said, "Yes, how much silver do we need to pay? We have to pay!"
In just one hour, the ladies took out a total of two thousand taels of silver, saying that as long as their bodies could be cured, no matter how expensive the medicine was, it didn't matter.
The other ladies who were not ill also invited Song Ruoan to her residence in the future to treat the illnesses of her family members, including the young ladies of the Duke's mansion.
After all, a divine doctor is a rare find, so we must win him over. Even if he is not sick, it would be good if he could improve his health.
In this effortless manner, the money for the Marquis's mansion's repairs was obtained. More importantly, Song Ruoan also helped the Marquis's mansion make many good friends.
He Yunze put his arm around Song Ruoan and together they saw the ladies out, and also arranged a time for the consultation the next day.
Seeing how inseparable they were, the ladies smiled and said, "What a loving couple! Ruo'an is truly blessed."
Song Ruoan felt a little shy, then heard He Yunce solemnly grasp her hand and say:
"That's right, Ruo'an and I will be together for life. She is my only wife, and I cherish her like a treasure. I ask that you ladies take good care of Ruo'an when you are out in the world."
