A hint of confusion flashed in his eyes, and he continued, "However, what is puzzling is that when I came to take Madam Jiang's pulse a few days ago, it had already become stable. Today, her condition has suddenly changed. I wonder what caused this turn of events?"
Deep in his eyes, there seemed to be an unspeakable worry, and Jiang Huaiyu's body was most vulnerable to worry.
Thinking back to those days when he did his best to care for Jiang Huaiyu, whose condition had clearly improved, he couldn't help but feel a sense of despair as she was now in a worse state than before.
Seeing his expression, Yingxiang asked in confusion, "You don't know?"
Doctor Liang asked, "Don't know what?"
Yingxiang sighed and said in a low voice, "We no longer use the title 'Madam' here. Our young lady has already divorced that Master Bai."
"Divorce?" Doctor Liang asked in surprise. "When I came here a few days ago, I overheard your conversation. It seemed that you were planning to invite the top scholar back. I thought that Madam Jiang and the top scholar would reconcile. How could things have changed so much in just a few days?"
Yingxiang nodded and sneered, "It's normal that you're too busy treating patients to know much about the news in the capital."
Her tone revealed anger: "You are also aware of the grudge between our young lady and Princess Ziyan. That Director Bai, for the sake of his own future, actually disregarded the humiliation of insulting his wife and the hatred of killing his child, and went to the Prince Hao's mansion. Our young lady was sincere to him, but how can she bear his behavior?"
Yingxiang became agitated whenever this topic was brought up.
"How can such a treacherous person be worthy of being our young lady's husband?"
After hearing the truth, Dr. Liang remained silent for a moment, then shook his head.
"I see, that explains it. Well then, I'll administer acupuncture to her now."
After the acupuncture was completed, Doctor Liang wrote out another prescription and gave it to Yingxiang.
"I have already used silver needles to stimulate Miss Jiang's acupoints, and she should be able to wake up in a moment."
"Tell her to take this medicine on time for the next three days. Yingxiang, you must persuade Miss Jiang to try not to let her stay cooped up in the house alone. You can take her out for a walk to clear her mind and adjust her mood, so as to prevent her from being immersed in sadness. Otherwise, it will really damage her health."
At this point, Doctor Liang's expression turned serious, and Yingxiang also felt a surge of tension.
She glanced worriedly at Jiang Huaiyu, who was still unconscious, then nodded solemnly and said, "Dr. Liang, I will remember your teachings!"
During the darkest days after losing her child, Jiang Huaiyu spent almost every morning and evening with tears soaking her cheeks.
However, even after parting ways with her husband, she never let a single tear fall again, as if her heart had withered away and there were no more waves of sorrow.
But if she truly had achieved inner peace, why would she have suffered a heart attack due to emotional distress, leading to fainting?
Seeing her calm demeanor as if nothing had happened, Yingxiang and Dengshen felt waves of sorrow in their hearts.
More than once, Yingxiang advised her to let go of the past, but Jiang Huaiyu always responded lightly: "It's just a divorce, it's nothing. In my heart, I have already experienced life and death once, so why would I be afraid of these setbacks? Besides, I do not depend on others to survive. Even if I am alone, I am capable of raising you, so there is no need to worry."
Although her words were spoken with a smile, Yingxiang couldn't help but feel her eyes well up with tears.
Seeing that her attempts to persuade him were ineffective, Yingxiang followed Dr. Liang's advice and took Jiang Huaiyu out for walks every day to clear her mind.
Jiang Huaiyu did not object; in fact, she would sometimes suggest going to the market or the temple to burn incense and pray.
Three days passed, and she did not show any sadness.
Deng Shen said with great joy, "Yingxiang, it seems our girl has recovered. Look, she's even practicing calligraphy today!"
Yingxiang watched Jiang Huaiyu's focused calligraphy practice from afar, but simply shook her head slightly, expressing her doubt.
Deng Shen was puzzled. "Could this be fake? Perhaps it really is the effect of Dr. Liang's medicine."
Yingxiang glanced at him and chuckled softly, "You're so adorably naive. I really don't understand how you had the courage to let a girl teach you the ways of management?"
Deng Shen scratched his head awkwardly and bowed apologetically, asking for guidance: "I hope Miss Yingxiang can enlighten me."
Yingxiang sighed helplessly, her eyes filled with worry. "We all know that medicine can cure physical illnesses, but have you ever heard of medicine healing emotional wounds?"
“I arrived late and was not fortunate enough to witness the sweet, harmonious days between you and Bai Siye, but from the few words you occasionally mentioned, I could feel the deep affection between them. You witnessed all of this with your own eyes. You are a person of great affection and loyalty, how could you just let go like that? Have you forgotten Doctor Liang's warning?”
Deng Shen's heart tightened, and he said bitterly, "It's really fate playing tricks on people. Why should such a kind and beautiful girl suffer like this? In my opinion, it's not good for you to keep all your pain deep in your heart. You should let out all your suffering."
"If that's really the case, then it would be a good thing..." Yingxiang sighed, her expression becoming even more worried.
In the tranquil courtyard, the two men busied themselves, their gazes frequently drifting towards Jiang Huaiyu. After putting down her pen, she leaned against the window, sitting silently, seemingly lost in deep thought. After a while, she suddenly raised her arm, beckoning them over.
"Miss, what are your instructions?" Yingxiang asked softly.
A warm smile bloomed on Jiang Huaiyu's face as she softly said, "Yingxiang, go find some helpers to remove all the bamboo stumps and tree roots in these yards and level the land."
After saying that, she took out a shiny silver ingot from her sleeve and handed it to Yingxiang.
Yingxiang glanced around the messy yard and nodded in agreement: "This yard does look a bit cluttered. I'll go hire someone right away. After it's cleaned up, we'll plant some flowers and plants, and soon the yard will look brand new."
Jiang Huaiyu gently shook his head: "We are about to leave the capital, so we only need to remove them. There is no need to bother with any arrangements."
"Understood."
Yingxiang grew up in the capital and was efficient in her work. That very day, she found a group of craftsmen who carefully removed the dead wood and tangled tree roots and then filled in the soil.
The courtyard suddenly became neat and spacious, and the original desolate feeling was swept away. Deng Shen had lived in the small courtyard in Yuqian Lane for several months, but this was the first time he had felt the true size of this space.
As the sun gradually sets in the west, the evening glow on the horizon is colorful.
Jiang Huaiyu sat by the window, a faint smile on her lips, her gaze gently fixed on the distance, seemingly in a particularly pleasant mood.
However, that very night, she suddenly developed a high fever.
In recent days, Yingxiang has been very vigilant. Every night, she habitually goes to tidy up Jiang Huaiyu's bedding. When she touches Jiang Huaiyu's forehead, she finds it is alarmingly hot. She immediately sends Deng Shen to fetch Doctor Liang in the middle of the night.
