The next day, just as the sun rose, Tang Xinghuai returned.
As soon as he returned, everyone rushed over to greet him warmly.
Tang Xinghuai had also fled with them during the war, and he didn't come back often. Every time he did come back, he would provide them with free medical care, and they remembered this kindness.
Tang Xinghuai's first stop was naturally the Song family.
As soon as they entered, before Song Dahai and Liu Yuelan could ask any more questions, Song Ning pulled them into her room.
"You've come at the right time, Dr. Tang. Please take a look at this patient."
Yunniang's scars and burns on her face are quite severe and have been there for a while, so it's best to take a closer look to be on the safe side.
Tang Xinghuai had healed his own face, and Song Ning had high hopes for him.
When Tang Xinghuai saw that face, he frowned and stared at it for a long time without saying a word.
After a long while, Tang Xinghuai stood up, looked at Song Ning, and gave him a wink.
Song Ning stood up and said with a smile, "Yunniang, you go ahead and do your work."
After saying that, he followed Tang Xinghuai out of the courtyard.
Tang Xinghuai said with a serious expression, "Her face is badly burned. It looks like it's been there for at least six or seven years, if not ten. To be honest, I'm not very sure."
Song Ning knew this: "I know, but even if it can't be cured completely, at least it can be cured to seven or eight tenths of its extent."
"However... your medicine should work."
Song Ning's eyes lit up. Oh right, how could she have forgotten about this?
"I'll prescribe a medicine, both for external application and internal use, and with your elixir, it might work, but I can't be sure."
Song Ning nodded: "Okay, thank you, Dr. Tang."
Dr. Tang smiled gently and patted her head lightly: "Why are you being so polite with me? Your business is my business. This 'thank you' makes it seem like we're not close."
Tang Xinghuai still had to see other patients, but before leaving, he took Song Ning's pulse again. This time, his brows finally relaxed, and he smiled, "You've been doing quite well lately. Remember to keep taking the medicine I gave you, okay?"
Song Ning nodded obediently: "I understand, don't worry."
Song Ning followed him to the courtyard gate, and Tang Xinghuai turned around: "Alright, go back. I know this place well, you don't need to follow me."
"I'll go with you."
Tang Xinghuai said helplessly, "Really, it's not necessary. I'm not an outsider. Listen to me and go back now."
Tang Xinghuai insisted, but Song Ning didn't force his way in.
"Alright then, if you're too busy, just send someone to call me, and I'll help you out."
"good."
Song Ning closed the door after everyone left.
From a distance, Xie Linzhou asked calmly, "Who is that person?"
"He came here with Er Ya and the others. He's a doctor, and I heard he's currently practicing at Yong'an Hall in Jiangning County."
Xie Linzhou frowned slightly as he watched the man's retreating figure.
What is his relationship with Song Ning?
"I don't know, but they seem to have a good relationship. Er Ya often brings him things, and Tang Xinghuai always provides free medical care to the people here whenever he comes back. He's very popular."
Xie Linzhou rubbed his fingers together gently, only coming back to his senses after Tang Xinghuai's figure disappeared from sight.
Zheng Gaoyi sighed. General Xie has really had a tough time. He just lost Zhou Ling'an, and now Tang Xinghuai has come.
With a childhood sweetheart and a gentle protector, what can our General Xie possibly compete with?
Tsk tsk, Zheng Gaoyi shook his head, "It's tough."
Song Ning returned to the house, and Yun Niang gently asked, "Er Ya, are you going to treat my face?"
"Yes, that person was a good doctor; he'll definitely be able to cure your face."
Yunniang didn't seem very happy; it seemed that whether her face recovered or not didn't matter to her.
It was because of her disfigured face that she escaped the clutches of that old man.
Yunniang hesitated, then said, "Erya, actually... my face doesn't need treatment."
Even if her face is healed, what good will it do her now?
She has no healthy body left, and is riddled with illnesses. On the way out, she even developed a limp.
Yunniang gave a bitter smile: "In my current state, it makes no difference whether I get treatment or not."
Song Ning held her hand: "Yunniang, don't worry, since we can heal your face, we can definitely heal your other injuries."
Although Yunniang said that, Song Ning knew that she was sad inside. No one would like to feel like not being able to walk in the sun like a normal person.
With reddened eyes, Yunniang choked back tears as she asked, "We've only met by chance, why are you being so kind to me?"
Song Ning smiled and said, "It's probably because... I feel a connection with you and that we click. Maybe that's what people call fate. Besides, you're already a member of the Song family, so there's nothing wrong with me doing this."
Yunniang began to shed tears, then lowered her head, covered her face, and wept bitterly.
Over the years, no one has ever treated her well, and no one has ever said such things to her.
For seven whole years, she was like mud in a gutter, trampled on at will, thrown wherever people wanted.
They trampled her pride and self-esteem underfoot, crushed them into the mud, and never picked them up again.
Song Ning knew she must have suffered a lot, and said gently, "It's all in the past. From now on, there will be good days."
This was the first time Yunniang had cried since she woke up. It was as if she wanted to vent all the suffering she had endured over the years. She screamed and cried her heart out.
Song Ning stayed by her side, and Liu Yuelan and Old Madam Liu also came in to comfort her for a while, which made her feel a little better.
Around noon, Song Ning went to take a look at the open space behind the house.
