"This is Miss Su. She is proficient in the art of medicine and has the talent to save the world."
"An Jing and I were attacked and fell off a cliff. An Jing was seriously injured while trying to protect me. It was Miss Su who treated him and saved his life. She also took us both back to her home and took good care of us." Shang Xingjian said.
After hearing what the eldest prince said, Madam An looked at Su Wanti with eyes full of gratitude.
With tears in her eyes, she said a few words of thanks to Su Wanti and then bowed to pay her respects.
Su Wanti hurriedly supported her and said, "Madam, there's no need to do this. Doctors are kind-hearted. I've studied medicine for eight years. It's impossible for me to stand by and watch someone die."
Madam An wiped her tears with a silk handkerchief and said with red eyes:
"Jian'er, you want me to help Miss Su, right? Miss Su is my son's savior, so she is my savior. If there is anything I can help with, just tell me. No matter what, I will lend her a helping hand."
Su Wanti said, "Madam An, I'll be frank. I know Madam An is asking for the Resurrection Grass. I happened to find one a few days ago while gathering herbs in the mountains. I want to meet Madam An and give her this Resurrection Grass."
Mrs. An was pleasantly surprised. "Miss Su, you picked the Resurrection Herb? That's great."
"You want to see my mother-in-law? It's not difficult. I'll arrange it for you later."
Su Wanti added, "I also want to personally diagnose and treat Madam An's headache."
Mrs. An hesitated. "The reward and the meeting are easy to discuss, but as for the treatment..."
Madam An has always been treated by the imperial physician in the capital. It would be inappropriate to change the doctor rashly.
An Jing whispered beside him, "Mother, what's wrong with just asking Miss Su to diagnose Grandmother's pulse and prescribe medicine?"
He was originally worried that Miss Su had ulterior motives towards the eldest prince, so he paid close attention to her actions. However, after a few days of contact, he found that Miss Su was not a hypocritical and greedy person who was trying to curry favor with the rich and powerful. She was calm and organized, loved her family, and had great abilities.
She is pretty and charming, but not pretentious at all. She speaks and acts frankly and directly, has clear goals, and never hides her desire for money.
For example, if the consultation fee is 10,000 taels, then it will be 10,000 taels. After knowing that he brought a lot of silver notes, she will not raise the price or ask for more silver.
An Jing felt that he had developed a liking for Miss Su, whom he had only known for a few days, and he couldn't help but speak up for her.
Shang Xingjian noticed An Jing's slight change. His eyes darkened slightly, and he coughed lightly and said:
"Aunt, Madam An's headache hasn't been cured for a long time. It's only right that she seeks a different doctor. Besides, Miss Su has a good remedy. She can cure An Jing's serious injury and Madam An's headache, too. Madam An might as well give it a try."
Su Wanti's eyes were calm. "I understand Madam An's feelings. Madam, you can first consult a famous doctor about the prescription I wrote for Madam An. Once the famous doctor has examined it and confirmed that there is no problem, you can give it to Madam An. That way, everything will be fine."
Since the eldest prince said so, Madam An could no longer refuse.
She nodded and said, "Miss Su, please follow me."
Shang Xingjian and An Jing also stood up and followed him.
Mrs. An's headaches became more and more frequent. When her headaches arose, she felt dizzy and upset, and could not stand any noise.
Therefore, her yard was more dull and quiet than any other yard in the An Mansion.
There were many servants serving, but everyone kept their mouths shut and made no sound.
After Mrs. An entered the old lady's yard, she didn't say anything, but only used her eyes to communicate.
When the nanny beside the old lady learned that the second lady was coming, she hurried out to greet her. The two communicated with gestures and eyes, but without speaking.
After exchanging information through various methods other than speaking, the group, led by the nanny, walked quietly into the main room where the old lady was.
Old Madam An had just had a headache and the pain was still lingering. Her face was pale and she felt weak all over. She was lying on her side on the couch, sighing.
Seeing her second daughter-in-law and her companions coming in, Mrs. An managed to stand up, stroked her forehead, and said, "Son, you're here..."
Mrs. An is a kind and benevolent person. She treats her two daughters-in-law like her own daughters and is very affectionate to them.
Madam An explained her purpose and said, "Mother-in-law, although Miss Su is not a famous doctor, her medical skills are excellent. You might as well give her a try."
"Then let's give it a try." Old Madam An has lived to this age and has been tortured by headaches for several years. She has long been indifferent to life and death.
Rather than living in torture, it is better to take a risk. Whether dead or alive, it will be a relief for her.
Su Wanti stepped forward, bowed, and greeted, then examined the patient.
Her manners were well-mannered and her words were professional, which made Mrs. An, who was standing beside her, feel a little relieved.
After Su Wanti saw Mrs. An's symptoms, she had an idea.
She asked for paper and pen, wrote down a prescription, and said, "First, follow this prescription to get the medicine. They are all commonly used medicines and are not difficult to find. They are sold in pharmacies of all sizes. After getting the medicine, boil three bowls of water into one bowl. After taking it, the old lady's headache will be much relieved."
Madam An handed the prescription to Nanny Qin and winked at her. Nanny Qin understood and took the prescription out to find the court doctor. After he examined the medicine, she would decide whether to treat the patient or not.
This is the caution that the patient's family should have. Su Wanti understands it and doesn't care too much.
After seeing the patient, Madam An waited on her mother-in-law inside, while Su Wanti and the others were invited by the nanny to sit outside and have some tea and rest.
In less than half an hour, the maid brought in the medicine, and Madam An helped her mother-in-law drink it.
After a while, Madam An's words came from the inner room, "Let Miss Su come in."
At this time, her voice was no longer soft and weak, but had some strength.
Su Wanti was surrounded by smiling maids and servants and entered the inner room.
She lowered her eyes, acting reserved and cautious, very well-behaved.
Not long after Mrs. An took the medicine, the remaining pain completely disappeared, and she felt that her mind had become clear again, her eyes were better, and her vision was no longer blurry.
When her body felt better, her mood became much better.
She sat on the couch with a smile on her face, and her eyes lit up when she saw a pretty young woman coming in surrounded by nannies and maids.
"Is this Miss Su? She is so pretty. Come here and let this old woman take a good look at her."
Her eyes fell on Su Wanti's eyebrows, and her heart trembled, "Miss Su looks a little familiar..."
