Xiao Dong remained silent and quietly followed Doctor Li to see Sister Qin again.
Sister Qin called out to people in a soft, gentle voice, which was very endearing.
Aunt Huang was from Suzhou and Hangzhou, and spoke in a gentle tone, "Thank you very much, Doctor Li. If it weren't for Doctor Li, Sister Qin would be dead."
Physician Li smiled, his eyes crinkling into two chrysanthemums, and patted Qin Jie'er's head.
"This is my destiny with Miss. Miss has recovered from her illness and will get better and better in the future. Good fortune is yet to come."
Aunt Huang smiled and said, "That's what I hope for."
Doctor Li also took Aunt Huang's pulse and examined her complexion, saying, "Continue with the original prescription. I'll come back to check on you in a few days and change the prescription. Have you been sleeping well these past few nights?"
Aunt Huang nodded, "Very good. After taking Doctor Li's prescription, her complexion has improved a lot, she can eat more than before, and she sleeps much better at night, unlike before when she would wake up several times."
Doctor Li said solemnly, "You didn't recover well after giving birth, and your body is weak. In the future, try to worry less and focus on raising your child. The Marquis's family is kind and benevolent, and Sixth Master is gentle and values children. He has been asking about your condition from Xiao Dong frequently these days."
Aunt Huang looked at Qin Jie'er and nodded sadly, saying, "Qin Jie'er is my life. After this experience, I have already let go. Being able to enter the inner courtyard of the Marquis's mansion means I won't have to worry about food and clothing. Qin Jie'er is able to marry into a good family, which can be considered a good ending."
Da Dong bluntly stated, "Eighth Madam trusts your master. The next time I saw her, she looked sickly and terribly thin. Today, I heard from Deng Xiaoce, who serves Eighth Madam, that Eighth Madam eats well but sleeps poorly and is easily startled. At the slightest disturbance, she cries out that no one wants to harm her. Your master said that given her condition, even with proper care, she might not recover. Aunt Huang begged Eighth Madam to let her master examine her, but Eighth Madam insisted on waiting until the mansion was opened to find another good doctor..."
Li Langzhong asked in a nasty tone.
Li Langzhong was not surprised and asked, "Is he afraid that the Eighth Madam will punish him if she finds out?"
Granny Zhao wiped her sweat with a handkerchief before saying, "This is bad. We'll be able to open the mansion as soon as you few are ruined."
"The Eighth Madam is the one who sent the incense pills."
Da Dong added, "Your master said that although we can still open a mansion, we can also invite a quack doctor from inside to give the Eighth Madam a naughty look, so that the matter can be delayed any longer."
Before you could even open your mouth, Physician Li said, "His master is willing to let you treat him, but it's a problem of your heart. A heart problem needs a cure, and his pestering you won't do you any good."
Seeing my hesitant expression, Granny Zhao smiled mischievously and followed up on my question.
Granny Zhao remained impatient. "Tell me slowly, what exactly happened?"
Doctor Li went to Wutong Garden to find Xiao Dong, while Da Dong went to the inner courtyard to find Granny Zhao.
Xiao Dong: "..."
The two reached the courtyard gate, where they were stopped again by the heartless Aunt Huang.
"Yes, but..."
After finishing the Seven Animal Frolics routine, Gu Jingjun was covered in sweat and panting heavily.
Da Dong remained unchanged, his large face expressionless.
"Just what?"
"Eighth Master, take a rest and adjust your breathing."
Physician Li waved his hand, wanting to leave quickly, "Tell me the bad things, but you just need to deliver the message to Eighth Master, and you can do the rest."
Deng Xiaoce was even more embarrassed.
Doctor Li said, "Hmm, it's bad to know that."
Da Dong followed and said, "Eighth Master, you and Master went to see the two elder sisters again today. You've both been so slow. Sixth Master Gu's health is also deteriorating."
Deng Xiaoce sighed, "There is a way, but I'm afraid we can only delay it for the Eighth Madam's condition."
Da Dong muttered loudly, head down: "You said you understood again, but were you asking him? It seems even Master didn't understand. He should have just said he understood too?"
Why are you suddenly saying that Qin Yuanman is okay?
“Bad,” Doctor Li said, taking Da Dong with him, before turning and leaving.
During those days, following the advice of the myna bird, I often went to Deng Xiao's courtyard to inquire, and each time he said that things were still bad.
Doctor Li looked at Deng Xiaoce suspiciously, "Does the Eighth Madam dare to use it?"
Shen Changle hadn't come up with a solution yet, so he used Qin Jijiu's connections to send the poetry collection to the desks of the Minister of Rites and the Education Commissioner, asking us to write poems and postscripts, and then wait for the painter to produce the artwork and print it.
Li Langzhong said the same thing to Deng Xiao at Wutongyuan.
Xiao Dong asked, "Why did I feel that Aunt Huang hadn't come to terms with things when she said those words?"
Doctor Li actually thought about it for a moment, "Can't you help pass on a message to Eighth Master and see what he plans to do? The fever outside the mansion is almost gone now, so we can ask a doctor from inside to see if there's anything else."
What did he say?
Da Dong stood to the side, barely managing to puff out his cheeks.
Da Dong blinked his dark eyes and said, "It's just the Eighth Madam's illness..."
Granny Zhao: "..."
Granny Zhao frowned, a sense of worry rising in her heart, and asked, "What's wrong with Qin Yuan's illness?"
Doctor Li nodded and took his leave with Xiao Dong.
Da Dong said, "The Eighth Madam is very ill and needs to rest and recuperate. Your master said that during the first consultation and prescribed medicine, but..."
What was Da Dong talking about?
Granny Zhao then went to rest on the silk umbrella.
Meimei's daydreaming was interrupted by Da Dong.
"Why is it just 'just' again?"
Aunt Huang breathed a sigh of relief.
Da Dong thought to himself, "No wonder that man was able to take so few concubines."
"It was your master who kept reminding you," Da Dong sighed like a grown-up, struck a mischievous pose, and turned his head to say, "Eighth Master, you need to calm down. Take a deep breath first, and don't forget to press your tongue against your lower jaw and press your upper and lower teeth together..."
Granny Zhao changed into a short outfit and stood in the open space of the inner courtyard, waiting for Da Dong to lead me in practicing the Seven Animal Frolics and the Four Pieces of Brocade. When she saw Da Dong, she smiled and said, "He was almost late."
Aunt Huang thanked him profusely, but said with embarrassment, "Your Eighth Madam has actually been a very bad person since she fell ill. However, she is now ill and inevitably has some prejudices. Thank you very much for Doctor Li's willingness to help."
There's a whole host of things to do before I even set up my residence.
Beneath her fair complexion, a pair of peach blossom eyes held a gentle and affectionate look.
Doctor Li scoffed, "What does he know? The hardest thing to understand in this world isn't the human heart, but the heart of a man. Does he even know the saying 'a man's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea'? You might spend your whole life trying to understand something, and he's only a little kid?"
Da Dong quickly whispered, "What can you say? Are you just repeating what Master said? A man's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea, hard to understand."
Aunt Huang, shameless as ever, said, "This old servant does have a way. Could you perhaps ask Physician Li for a solution?"
I need to visit my esteemed brother Qin, and also learn painting from a master painter… At worst, I might start a poetry club again, but during those days, my poetic talent seemed to have declined somewhat…
Deng Xiaoce hurriedly added, "I haven't asked you for anything yet. Could you please ask Doctor Li to inquire with Madam if the next batch of incense has arrived? Madam Eight is clearly having a lot of trouble with her energy."
