When the two arrived at Rongliyuan, the old woman Ayu said that the general and his wife had gone to Feiyuan and the old general was ill.
Hua Fushu couldn't help but feel suspicious. Although General Ye was old, he was in good health. How could he suddenly become ill? After asking, he found out that General Ye's leg disease had recurred.
Ah Yu said, "When the master was here, no matter how much the old general disliked our wife, whenever the old general's leg hurt, the master would come to treat him. The master had a unique acupuncture method. With just a few needles and the medicine prescribed by the master, he would be healed in a few days. After the master passed away, the general also found many famous doctors to treat the old general, and it usually took a month to cure him."
Hua Fushu knew that the 'master' that A Yu was referring to was Madam Ouyang's father, Ouyang Yi, so he did not ask any more questions. He went to Feiyuan with Sanqiao, and saw Lizhi cleaning the Penglai courtyard, so he called her over.
Sanqiao handed the things in her hand to Lizhi, and then went into Feiyuan with Hua Fushu.
Hua Fushu looked into the room and saw not only Ye Shiheng and his wife, but also Dugu Lanxi and Ruhuan.
Ye Songyan looked back and saw Hua Fushu outside. He called her in and Sanqiao followed her in.
Ruhuan looked at Hua Fushu dissatisfiedly, "What are you doing here? Don't pass on your bad luck to my grandfather!"
Madam Ouyang looked over and scolded, "Ruhuan, shut up and apologize to your sister-in-law."
Ruhuan whitened the flowers and looked away.
Ye Shiheng looked towards the screen, behind which the imperial physician was giving acupuncture to General Ye.
Dugu Lanxi walked towards Hua Fushu, "Second sister, why are you here? Your injuries are all healed."
Hua Fushu turned around and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, I'm fine now. I heard from Aunt Ayu that the old general was ill, so I came to see him."
Gu Du Lan Xi smiled, relieved that Hua Fushu was fine.
The imperial physician emerged from behind a screen. Ye Shiheng and his wife, Ye Songyan, Madam Xu, and Ruhuan hurried to greet him, asking how the old general was doing. The physician replied, "The old general's leg ailment is an old one. I can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. I've already given him acupuncture, and he'll be taking some medicine later. I'll be back tomorrow to give him acupuncture. He should be fully recovered in less than ten days."
Ye Shiheng thanked him profusely and wanted to personally escort the imperial physician back home. Hua Fushu accidentally glanced at the imperial physician and found that it was the deputy director of the Imperial Hospital, Imperial Physician Liu, who was ranked 18th on the medical list. "Doctor Liu?"
Doctor Liu was about sixty years old. He was gentle, approachable, and had superb medical skills. When Hua Fushu called him, he looked in her direction and was genuinely surprised. "Are you Hua Nineteen?"
Hua Fushu bowed and said, "Junior Hua Fushu greets Senior Liu."
Doctor Liu asked, "Why are you here?"
Ye Shiheng and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. At this moment, Ye Songyan remembered that Hua Fushu was quite knowledgeable in medicine, but then he heard his father Ye Shiheng say, "Doctor Liu, do you know my daughter-in-law?"
"Your daughter-in-law?" Doctor Liu was also confused.
Ye Shiheng nodded.
Doctor Liu laughed and said, "General, you clearly have a miraculous doctor in your mansion, yet you chose to go to such a distant place as this. Your daughter-in-law is a disciple of Lady Miao, the head of Lanling. She's a top-notch acupuncture expert, and also proficient in gynecology and pediatrics. Who in the medical community doesn't know her? At such a young age, she's already ranked in the top 20 doctors. She has a bright future ahead of her."
Ye Shiheng was stunned, and so were Gu Du Lanxi and Madam Ouyang and her daughter.
Doctor Liu had already gone to check on Hua Fushu. He said, "I remember you were only seventeen last year."
Hua Fushu nodded. "I've just turned seventeen. It's been a year since I last saw you. I didn't expect you to still remember me. I can't bear the title of miracle doctor."
Doctor Liu continued, "Young lady, if you hadn't helped me last year, the woman and her three babies would have died."
Hua Fushu said, "That's because the senior has superb medical skills. I couldn't help much."
Ye Shiheng asked, "Hua'er, why haven't I heard you say you know medicine?"
"Father, let's talk later." Hua Fushu and Imperial Physician Liu made an invitation, "Senior, I'd like to invite you for a cup of tea."
Doctor Liu declined Hua Fushu's invitation because he had something important to do, and Ye Shiheng personally escorted Doctor Liu out.
As soon as Ye Shiheng and the other two left, Madam Ouyang and Gu Du Lanxi turned to look at Hua Fushu, looking as if they were going to accuse him. Hua Fushu panicked and was about to confess the truth, but General Ye behind the screen said coldly, "What are you doing here? Get out!"
Madam Ouyang and Gudu Lanxi hurried out of the house. Hua Fushu didn't want to stay any longer, so he pulled Sanqiao and followed Madam Ouyang and Gudu Lanxi.
Ruhuan saw her mother leave and wanted to go look for her, but General Ye stopped her and said, "Huan'er, come here."
His voice was surprisingly gentle, a stark contrast to his attitude towards Madam Ouyang.
Ruhuan remembered what Ye Zelin had said to her. Among her mother's three children, her grandfather loved her alone, so she stayed and walked behind the screen.
Mrs. Xu moved the screen away and saw General Ye sitting on the couch. Ruhuan was massaging his shoulders. Ye Songyan pulled over a round stool and sat down. Mrs. Xu volunteered to go to the kitchen to boil medicine.
General Ye looked at Ye Songyan, but before he could say anything, Ye Songyan told him that Hua Fushu had asked the head of the Huo family to treat the second master Ouyang.
Ruhuan scoffed, "Fourth brother, have you ever seen the wife of a noble family go to a casino and start a fight? If that woman really knew medicine, the sun would rise in the west and set in the east."
General Ye didn't like Hua Fushu in the first place, so naturally he didn't want to hear more about her. Ye Songyan understood what was going on and didn't say anything further.
Hua Fushu and Sanqiao went to Rongli Courtyard and met Ye Shiheng outside the courtyard. The father-in-law and daughter-in-law went into the house together. Hua Fushu told Madam Ouyang and Ye Shiheng that he had asked the head of the Huo family to treat the second master Ouyang, and gave Madam Ouyang the letter sent by the head of the Huo family and Ouyang Jingming.
After reading this, Madam Ouyang burst into tears of joy, "Hua'er, how can I ask your mother to thank you? Why didn't you tell me earlier? Zelin didn't tell me either."
Hua Fushu said, "Don't blame me, mother-in-law. I told you not to say it. Brother Huo also meant the same thing."
Ye Shiheng asked, "Hua'er, you have this ability, what are your plans for the future?"
Hua Fushu said, "I plan to open a clinic."
Ye Shiheng smiled and said, "That's easy. You can open as many clinics as you want. Dad will pay for it!"
Madam Ouyang also said, "Hua'er, the sealed-off city is vast. Have you decided where to open the clinic?"
Seeing that her parents-in-law supported her, Hua Fushu felt warm in her heart. "Dad, Mom, I appreciate your kindness, but I want to open a clinic with my own efforts. Besides, I am still young, not well-educated, and lack experience. Now is not the right time to open a clinic. Xinglin Clinic is looking for doctors. Although Doctor Li didn't accept me, I agreed to study in his clinic. Doctor Li's medical skills may not be as good as Doctor Liu's, but he is not bad for being selected to work in the Imperial Hospital. I can learn from his strengths to make up for my weaknesses and also gain experience."
Ye Shiheng smiled and said, "Good boy, you are ambitious. If you want to go to Xinglin Medical Clinic, go ahead!"
Madam Ouyang said, "Okay, go ahead."
Hua Fushu was overjoyed. He had thought that Ye Shiheng and Madam Ouyang would object, but he didn't expect that they both supported him.
