If Sui Yunlang had not happened to be born into the Empress Dowager's maternal family, he might not have known Huo Wuyou, and naturally he would not have met this extremely annoying couple.
Despite being sleepy, he yawned and casually inserted a few needles into Tang Zhining's small body. However, these few needles stopped Tang Zhining from vomiting, and his groaning cries gradually turned into even breathing sounds.
Xue Ruoyu's expression also changed from nervousness and suspicion to conviction and gratitude.
Seeing that he was fine, Sui Yunlang analyzed Tang Zhining's illness from head to toe, analyzing the cause and effect. Finally, he carefully examined the vomited feces and concluded, "The young master's symptoms are indeed caused by accidentally ingesting something cold. I just don't know why a child would accidentally ingest jasmine powder. It's really careless."
"Jasmine powder?" Xue Ruoyu was stunned.
"How could jasmine powder appear in food? Someone must have added it on purpose." Chai Yue glanced at Xue Zhiyi with ill intent: "Xue Zhiyi, your behavior is the most suspicious!"
Xue Zhiyi was about to open his mouth to refute when he heard Xue Ruoyu say, "It's not her."
Mrs. Tang was puzzled: "Ruoyu?"
Xue Zhiyi was also stunned for a moment, only to see Xue Ruoyu slowly stand up, still looking at her with such alienation.
"Ever since she was little, she's complained that jasmine powder doesn't taste as good as fresh jasmine, and it always has a bitter taste. She never carries it with her."
After a moment, Xue Zhiyi felt a dull pain in his chest.
Ever since she came to Jiangzhou, she had already prepared herself for Xue Ruoyu to hate her, and she no longer dared to harbor any illusions about the sisterhood between them. She tried to distinguish the Xue Ruoyu in front of her from the elder sister in her memory.
However, when Xue Ruoyu mentioned their past memories in this way, it was the first time in all the time since she came to Jiangzhou that her heart ached so deeply. This completely disarmed her in the moment of preparation she had made in her heart beforehand.
But at this moment, she had no time to feel sad. She still had something important to do, and this was the real purpose of her calling Sui Yunlang.
After calming down a bit, Xue Zhiyi slowly bowed and said, "Thank you Madam Tang for your trust. I am also grateful to Doctor Sui for helping me tonight."
At this moment, the misunderstanding was resolved, and Tang Zhining's condition had stabilized. Xue Ruoyu and Madam Tang thanked Sui Yunlang, who simply waved his hand, "Thank you so much, so much."
Suddenly, he paused and looked at Xue Ruoyu. He held his chin and hissed softly, his expression a little serious.
Xue Zhiyi was glad that although Sui Yunlang was very sleepy, he quickly understood her plan and now led to their next move in a very logical way.
Just as Xue Ruoyu was confused, Sui Yunlang said, "Young Madam, excuse me, are you feeling unwell?"
Sui Yunlang's ability just now made Xue Ruoyu trust the young doctor more. Upon hearing this, she told him the truth: "Yes, I take medicine every day."
Sui Yunlang sighed and shook his head: "Excuse me for being blunt, but your condition is much more critical than the young master's."
Xue Ruoyu and Madam Tang's expressions changed. Xue Ruoyu hurriedly asked, "I wonder what the doctor means?"
Sui Yunlang said, "Young Madam is thin, and both her forehead and lips are slightly blue, and her complexion is not good. If she is still like this despite taking herbal remedies every day, I'm afraid she has an underlying illness that is constantly draining her body. But as to what the illness is, I might be able to get a rough idea after I take her pulse."
"Ruoyu." Before Xue Ruoyu could speak, Madam Chai said gently, "Aren't you taking your medicine well? And your condition has improved significantly. Why do you need to listen to other doctors?"
Xue Ruoyu was still polite: "Doctor Zheng was recommended by my aunt, and the prescription he prescribed is indeed very effective. Ruoyu dare not forget my aunt's kindness, and I don't doubt Doctor Zheng's intentions, but..."
"But Doctor Zheng, who is good at treating difficult and complicated diseases, is helpless against children's spleen and stomach being affected by cold. So what's the harm in finding another doctor to check on the young lady's illness?" Sui Yunlang said.
Xue Ruoyu looked embarrassed: "Aunt, that's not what I meant..."
Without waiting for her to explain, Sui Yunlang stepped forward and said, "Whatever you mean is fine. Your own health is the most important thing, so please allow me to take your pulse, Madam."
Madam Chai looked anxious, as if she was trying to hide something: "Ruoyu, Doctor Sui is a foreigner after all, and he's still young. I'm afraid it's not in accordance with etiquette."
Upon hearing this, Sui Yunlang became anxious: "Madam, who do you think I am? Besides, we are in front of everyone here, and it's not just me and the young lady touching wrists alone, so what's wrong with etiquette? Besides, if I am not doing it right, what about him?"
He pointed at Doctor Zheng and asked, "He's not a man? Does that make him a man according to etiquette?"
Perhaps because she felt guilty, Mrs. Chai's voice was weak. "I mean... for things like this, we should at least wait for Jing Lei to come back, right? He usually accompanies you when I take your pulse, so where is Jing Lei?"
Speaking of this, Xue Ruoyu felt uneasy: "He said he had some official business to attend to and won't be back tonight."
Tang Jinglei had been this busy before, but for some reason, this time she felt uneasy, as if something was going to happen.
"Madam, excuse me, what are you thinking?" Sui Yunlang's voice disturbed Xue Ruoyu's mind.
"Why do you try so hard to stop the young lady from seeing a doctor? Do you understand what it means that the patient's condition must not be delayed? If the patient's condition is delayed because of this, can you bear the responsibility? What we doctors hate most is your hypocritical behavior of putting other trivial matters above your life, and you are not allowed to do this or that! It is not in accordance with etiquette, right? I can also diagnose the patient with a hanging thread, come on..." As he said this, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to work.
He rolled up his sleeves, looking as if he was going to beat Mrs. Chai, which startled Xue Ruoyu: "Doctor Sui, I agree to take your pulse."
The experience of treating Zhining had already made Xue Ruoyu trust Sui Yunlang to some extent, and she was suspicious of Doctor Zheng. She was willing to take her pulse, but for some reason, her aunt seemed to not want her to be treated by Doctor Sui.
Seeing this, Chai Yue wanted to say something, but was quietly stopped by Mrs. Chai. If he continued to persuade her, it would seem too suspicious.
The mother and daughter could only watch anxiously as Sui Yunlang took Xue Ruoyu's pulse.
Sui Yunlang paused slightly while taking the pulse, and his brows twitched unconsciously, causing Mrs. Tang, who was watching, to worry: "Doctor, what's wrong?"
Sui Yunlang raised his eyebrows and smiled awkwardly, "It's okay, it's nothing serious. Let me prescribe a prescription. Madam, take it for seven days and see. If you feel that your body is indeed relaxed, then take it according to the prescription."
Then, he added: "Don't worry, these are the most common medicinal herbs."
