"Dr. Xu, Tao'er is a good girl. I hope you can do your best to cure her illness. I will pay you whatever the consultation fee is," Rong Qingqing said sincerely.
“Miss Rong, doctors have the heart of parents. Since the patient has come to me, I will naturally do my best to treat her. But as I said before, I cannot guarantee that I can cure her. After all, that kind of disease is quite complicated, and it mainly depends on the patient’s own fate,” said Dr. Xu.
"I understand. Just do your best to heal her." Rong Qingqing nodded, indicating her understanding.
Afterwards, Doctor Xu prescribed some medicine for Tao'er, some of which needed to be decocted and taken orally, and some of which needed to be used for bathing.
"This illness will take quite a while to cure, Miss, you should be prepared," Doctor Xu reminded her before leaving.
Rong Qingqing nodded, "I understand. Then I'll trouble Doctor Xu to make more trips to the Marquis of Weiyuan's residence in the future."
Upon hearing this, Doctor Xu was somewhat surprised. "Does the young lady intend to take this girl back to the Marquis of Weiyuan's residence?"
Rong Qingqing glanced at the silent Tao'er and sighed inwardly, "Yes, I will take her back to live for the time being. In a few days, I will find another suitable place to settle her."
Dr. Xu said with emotion, "Miss is so thoughtful."
Rong Qingqing shook her head. "It's nothing." Then, she turned to Tao'er and said, "Let's go."
Tao'er lowered her head, twisted her sleeves, and said somewhat awkwardly, "Miss, you don't need to worry about me..."
“You are my grandmother’s maid, and you have always been loyal to her. How can I not care about you? Just relax. Doctor Xu is very skilled. Just do as he says, and you will definitely get better,” Rong Qingqing said gently.
A glimmer of light appeared in Tao'er's eyes, "This servant...is there still hope for recovery?"
"Of course, as long as you cooperate with Dr. Xu, you will definitely be cured," Rong Qingqing comforted her.
Doctor Xu also said from the side, "Miss Tao'er, I will do my best to cure you, so please don't worry."
Upon hearing this, Tao'er suddenly knelt down before the two of them, "Thank you, Miss, thank you, Doctor Xu..."
"Oh dear, what are you doing? Get up quickly." Doctor Xu was startled and hurriedly reached out to help her, but considering the difference between men and women, he didn't dare to touch her and looked at Rong Qingqing with difficulty.
Rong Qingqing bent down and helped Tao'er up, saying with a smile, "You really should thank Doctor Xu properly, but I don't need to. After you're cured, go back to my grandmother's side and take good care of her."
"I will," Tao'er said firmly.
"Okay, let's go." Rong Qingqing helped her carry some medicine bags and walked ahead. "Dr. Xu, we'll head back now."
Dr. Xu nodded. "Alright, take care."
After Rong Qingqing left Doctor Xu's house with Tao'er, they went to the main street and prepared to return to the Marquis of Weiyuan's residence.
Just then, the sound of rapid hoofbeats came from behind, accompanied by shouts, "Get out of the way! Get out of the way, all of you!"
Rong Qingqing was startled and quickly pulled Xiao Tao, who was walking outside, to the right.
But by pulling Xiaotao to the right, she herself was exposed to danger.
The man's horse had gone out of control and was charging towards her. Just as it was about to hit her, another sound of hooves came. Before Rong Qingqing could react, something suddenly wrapped around her waist. Then, her body felt light and she was lifted into the air before falling back down with a thud. Her head seemed to have hit something hard.
