What exactly happened? Wasn't Hongyu a maid in the Ye household? How could she have married such a leper?
Seeing that Madam Yan was applying medicine to Hongyu, one could see that Hongyu's body was covered with new and old wounds, with almost no patch of good skin.
Ye Lingyu couldn't bear to watch any longer; just how much suffering had Hongyu endured!
At the outer medicine dispensing station, Ye Lingyu pleaded with Yan Nanxing: "Doctor Yan, no matter what medicine you use or how much it costs, please be sure to save her."
This was the first time someone had asked him to treat Hongyu. Most of the time, Wang Tiezhu, Hongyu's husband, would come and make a scene if he knew that Hongyu had come to see him for treatment.
Either don't let Hongyu pay, or ask Yan Nanxing to return the money Hongyu paid for her treatment.
If we don't give it to him, he'll act like a rogue at the pharmacy, and reporting it to the authorities won't help.
Yan Nanxing looked Ye Lingyu up and down and smiled back: "Please rest assured, madam, I will do my best. However, the ginseng in my pharmacy is all ten-year-old, so I'm afraid I'll have to go to another pharmacy to buy a hundred-year-old ginseng."
Jiang Jiang subconsciously touched her arm, wondering if she would have to go back to the soil to grow if she plucked another hair.
But seeing her mother like this, it was as if the hand that was plucking her beard had already landed on the beard.
Ye Lingyu pulled Jiang Jiang back and said to Yan Nanxing, "That's easy, we'll go buy it. If you need any other medicinal herbs, just let us know."
Yan Nanxing couldn't help but take another look at Ye Lingyu. A hundred-year-old ginseng is worth at least tens or hundreds of taels of silver. Is this person going a bit too far for a stranger?
"Is this lady an old friend of Lady Hongyu?"
Ye Lingyu glanced at the room where Hongyu was and said slowly, "We're old acquaintances, thank you for troubling Physician Yan."
Jiang Jiang was led out of the pharmacy by Ye Lingyu, who asked Jiang Jiang, "Jiang Jiang, can you try to make Ayan sense us?"
Jiang Jiang suddenly realized that she could call Cheng Qingyan back; if he wasn't far away, he could be back in a quarter of an hour.
She tried to sense Cheng Qingyan's location; thankfully, he was only across the street. She silently called out in her heart, "Father?"
Cheng Qingyan was gambling with Wang Tiezhu in the casino when she heard Jiang Jiang's voice. She never expected that Jiang Jiang could communicate with her remotely!
This skill gave her a familiar feeling, as if she were talking to Jiang Jiang on the phone!
Cheng Qingyan silently replied to Jiang Jiang, "Jiang Jiang, how is it?"
"Father, the doctor doesn't have any century-old ginseng here. When will you be back?"
"I'll be right back, don't worry, I'll be there in less than fifteen minutes."
Jiang Jiang and Ye Lingyu walked towards the casino, and Cheng Qingyan also quietly slipped out of the casino.
After they met, Cheng Qingyan gave Ye Lingyu three century-old ginseng roots. Two of them were already dried, and one was fresh.
She might not have many other things, like century-old herbs, but she certainly has plenty of ginseng.
"My dear wife, don't worry too much. Take this first, and if it doesn't work, use this instead." Cheng Qingyan gave Ye Lingyu the ginseng rootlets he had previously torn from Jiang Jiang, just in case.
“Ayan…”
Cheng Qingyan smiled and said, "Wife, I have to go back to the casino now. You go to the pharmacy first, and I'll be back in a bit."
She gave Ye Lingyu another five hundred taels of silver note. She still needed to deal with Wang Tiezhu to prevent him from causing trouble again.
Turning around, Ye Lingyu and Jiang Jiang headed back towards the casino, and then returned to Yan Nanxing's pharmacy.
He went out and returned in less than fifteen minutes with two century-old ginseng roots.
Yan Nanxing sliced the dried fruit and gave Hongyu a slice to hold in her mouth before going to prepare medicine for her.
After examining Hongyu's pulse, it was found that she had internal bleeding, which was more serious than before.
That evening, Cheng Qingyan finally found Pujitang by following the address and name of the pharmacy that Ye Lingyu had given her.
That is, the pharmacy owned by Yan Nanxing and his wife.
Ignoring the unpleasant smell, Cheng Qingyan went to the pharmacy.
When Yan Nanxing first saw Cheng Qingyan come in, he thought he was someone who had come to get medicine.
"Is this young man here to get medicine or for a medical consultation?"
Cheng Qingyan looked around but didn't see Ye Lingyu: "Looking for someone. I wonder if the doctor treated a lady who was unconscious today? My wife and my young lady brought her here."
Yan Nanxing suddenly realized what was going on and quickly led the people into the inner room: "Please come in with me, they are inside."
Hongyu was still asleep, and Ye Lingyu stayed by her side the whole time.
Jiang Jiang saw Cheng Qingyan: "Father!"
"Jiangjiang, be good, did you bother your mother?"
"No, Jiangjiang is a good girl~"
"Reward: Candy."
After handing a bag of candy to Jiang Jiang, Cheng Qingyan went to see Ye Lingyu.
It was already dark outside, and the lights were on inside the house.
"My wife, how is he?"
Ye Lingyu breathed a sigh of relief: "He hasn't woken up yet. Doctor Yan said it might be a little later."
Hongyu was not only injured on her body, but also on her face, and her head was wrapped in gauze.
"My lady, it's getting late. Do you think we should take Hongyu to the inn?"
At this moment, Yan Langzhong's wife, Xue Ningfei, lifted the curtain and came in.
“Kind-hearted people, Lady Hongyu is not suitable to move at the moment. If you don’t mind, please stay at my humble abode for dinner. Lady Hongyu is still unconscious and will need someone to take care of her tonight.”
Cheng Qingyan couldn't bear to see Ye Lingyu frowning, so she declined to have dinner at Pujitang and went to try and build some connections.
"My wife, you and Jiang Jiang stay here for now. I'll go find Luo Ji and Liu Baisheng."
Ye Lingyu escorted the man to the entrance of Pujitang and said to Cheng Qingyan, "Ayan, that man owes gambling debts, so let him owe more. Make sure to get Hongyu's divorce papers and indenture."
“I’ll take care of it, my wife. If Luo Ji can’t even handle this little thing, then it just means that his connections in the county town are probably not as good as those of a hoodlum.”
Watching Cheng Qingyan's departing figure, Ye Lingyu looked towards the residential area in the center of the county town.
Her good father and good sister really treated her very well; they didn't even spare the maids who had served her.
Cheng Qingyan didn't even eat dinner before finding Luo Ji and Liu Baisheng.
She recounted Hongyu's story, saying nothing else but that she couldn't stand seeing a scoundrel bullying her like that, and that she simply couldn't bear to see it.
Luo Ji and Liu Baisheng followed her to a private room at Fuxi Restaurant to discuss the matter.
It's just a small leper; it's easy to catch it.
Luo Ji had only heard that this leper's wife had once been a maid in the Ye family, but he didn't know very well how the Ye family's maid had ended up marrying Wang Tiezhu.
When Cheng Qingyan heard the name Ye family, he practically perked up his ears to hear it, and his heart trembled.
Is her wife related to the Ye family?
This is so annoying! After she transmigrated, she had no memories of her predecessor!
For now, we can only place our hopes on Luo Ji: "Butler Luo, could you tell me more about the Ye family?"
