He Jiuniang suppressed the urge to cover her ears and smiled, saying, "Dr. Song, thank you for treating me as a friend and for genuinely caring about me. But you've already troubled you a lot with Liu Yancai's matter. I can handle the rest. Oh, by the way, did Liu Yancai say something this morning?"
She tried to change the subject, not wanting to dwell on the matter.
Song Chi initially had something to say because she said she didn't need their help, but after hearing that last sentence, the topic was successfully changed.
He nodded and said, "Indeed, Liu Yancai was carried here to find you early this morning. He caused a scene at the clinic. Fortunately, there weren't many people there at the time, so not many knew about it. Soon, Madam Liu came over and started arguing about marital issues."
“That works too. I guess the divorce dispute will give him enough of a headache. As for coming to cause trouble for me, he’ll have to produce evidence first. Without evidence, he can’t do anything to me.”
He Jiuniang waved her hand dismissively, not really thinking it was a big deal.
However, since Song Chi had worried about her, she couldn't be ungrateful, so she said, "Dr. Song, thank you for telling me all this. I'll give you a new prescription in a bit..."
"I don't need any prescription."
Song Chi interrupted her, "I'm doing all this willingly, not to ask you for prescriptions. You have many patients, go and get busy."
After saying that, he turned and left.
He Jiuniang touched her nose guiltily. She had indeed said that on purpose, wanting to draw a clear line between the two of them. Although it was a bit unreasonable, it was the most direct way to reject him.
Back at her post, He Jiuniang immediately stopped thinking too much and focused on treating patients.
The last one was the skinny man with a lively nightlife whom I met while gossiping. He was also a little stunned when he saw her, not expecting that she was Dr. He.
When the man first saw He Jiuniang, he thought to himself that he must find a chance to seduce such a beautiful young woman. Now, however, he was glad that he hadn't said anything disrespectful, otherwise, this illness might have been incurable.
Thinking about what he had just said, the man felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look He Jiu Niang in the eye.
He Jiuniang asked, "What kind of illness do you want to see?"
"About...about sex..."
The man was somewhat embarrassed to speak. If he hadn't heard that this female doctor was highly skilled, he wouldn't have dared to come for a consultation. In addition, he had just made some inappropriate remarks, and he was truly ashamed to face the situation.
He Jiuniang took his pulse and then said, "It can be cured, but it's very expensive. It depends on whether you can afford it."
This illness is indeed considered a difficult and complicated disease, but it's nothing to He Jiuniang. It's just that this person's words just now made her unhappy, so she wasn't so kind as to give him cheap treatment.
Upon hearing that the condition could be cured, the man beamed with joy. Since he had money to go out and have fun, it meant that his family was not short of money. So he hurriedly said, "As long as it can be cured, I'll pay any price."
He Jiuniang nodded and said, "The consultation fee is fifty taels per session, and you'll need to see them for half a month."
Upon hearing this, the man's face stiffened. He counted on his fingers for a long time: one hundred taels each time, fifteen times in half a month, that's one thousand five hundred taels!
His family is wealthy, but they can't possibly come up with that much money all at once! A trip out only costs a few taels of silver, this price is too high!
However, in order to get treatment, he nodded with a pained expression, saying that he would do whatever it took, even if it meant selling everything he owned.
After reaching an agreement, He Jiuniang began writing down a prescription for him and then explained the precautions. The man was dizzy from listening to her explanation. Why were there so many things he couldn't eat? And why couldn't he do anything?
When I went out, I was completely listless.
He Jiuniang showed him through her actions what happens when you say the wrong thing.
Logically speaking, if Liu Yancai had used his own medicine, his fate should have been similar to this person's; he could have recovered with simple treatment. However, Liu Yancai not only took his own medicine but also He Jiuniang's medicine, which meant that even a celestial being couldn't cure him.
The next day, He Jiuniang went to the Hu family first, and then to the house where Madam Jiang lived.
I said I would visit yesterday, but I didn't bring any gifts. He Jiu Niang felt that was a bit inappropriate, so I specially brought a gift today.
When Ling Yue saw that He Jiu Niang had brought a gift, she felt a little embarrassed. They had offered her money yesterday, but He Jiu Niang had refused to accept it. Now that she had brought a gift, it made them feel like they had gotten a great deal.
"Madam He, you're too kind. We're so grateful that you treated my lady's illness, how could we possibly accept your gift?"
Ling Yue looked at the nine identical gift boxes. Although she was a little embarrassed to accept them, she was also curious about what was inside.
"It's nothing fancy, just some underwear made in our own workshop. I've prepared three sets each for you and the two young ladies. I'll show you how to wear them in a bit."
Lingyue had never seen a gift of intimate apparel before. Was the size right?
What she didn't know was that He Jiuniang had already checked their sizes yesterday and memorized them.
The clothes in the workshop are all mass-produced and divided into small, medium, large, and extra-large sizes according to approximate dimensions. As long as the size is within a certain range, it can be worn.
"Then thank you, Madam He."
Ling Yue handed the things to Ling Xue to put away, then led He Jiu Niang inside, explaining, "My master is home today. He heard that Madam He can cure my mistress's illness and would like to meet her. Is it convenient for Madam He to meet him?"
“Of course it’s convenient, Miss Lingyue, please lead the way.”
He Jiuniang readily agreed. She had always been curious about what kind of man a beauty like Madam Jiang would marry, and today was a good opportunity to meet him.
When Mingze returned last night, he heard from Lingyue that someone was treating his wife's illness. No matter how busy he was today, he had to see the person in person.
He stayed with Jiang Ruoya in the main courtyard. When He Jiuniang arrived, she saw the beautiful couple sitting under the tree.
The girl, whose mind was only that of a ten-year-old, was watching intently as the ants carried food on the stone table, while the man stood beside her with a bowl of porridge, occasionally coaxing her to take a sip.
Even though she was mentally regressed and didn't quite understand their relationship, he still patiently coaxed her to eat, holding a handkerchief in his hand, ready to wipe her mouth at any time.
He Jiuniang suddenly felt that this scene was particularly beautiful, so beautiful that she couldn't bear to break it.
Ling Yue, however, was already used to such scenes. She walked in and whispered, "Master and Madam, Madam He has arrived."
Upon hearing this, the couple under the tree turned to look at her at the same time. Before Mingze could speak, Jiang Ruoya happily ran to He Jiuniang's side, affectionately took her arm, and called her Jiu'er.
"Aze, this is my Jiu'er, Jiu'er has come to see me!"
She grabbed He Jiuniang's hand and ran to Mingze to introduce him.
Mingze slowly sized up He Jiuniang, while He Jiuniang was also sizing him up.
