The next morning, something incredibly coincidental happened.
He Jiuniang went to the Ming Mansion to treat Jiang Ruoya as usual. During this time, Jiang Ruoya's memory began to slowly fade away. This would not have affected her now, because she could not remember the past. However, she began to become somewhat silent.
He Jiuniang was worried that if this situation continued, it would definitely worsen her condition and all her previous efforts would be in vain. So she spent half an hour every day playing with her, telling her some interesting little stories, and making her laugh.
Jiang Ruoya was genuinely happy when she was with He Jiuniang. She would take the initiative to start conversations and prepare her best snacks for He Jiuniang.
But after He Jiuniang left, she became silent again.
Ling Yue secretly told He Jiu Niang, and that's how He Jiu Niang found out.
So, on this day, He Jiuniang decided to try a different approach. After completing the regular acupuncture treatment, He Jiuniang gently asked her, "Madam, do you not like the current treatment?"
Jiang Ruoya seemed surprised by the question and stared at her blankly for a while. Although she didn't speak, He Jiuniang understood what she meant and gently coaxed her, "What are you thinking? Can you tell me?"
Jiang Ruoya looked into her eyes, which seemed to possess a kind of magic that drew people in after a few glances.
She didn't answer He Jiu Niang immediately, but looked into her eyes for a while before smiling and saying, "Jiu'er's eyes are like mine."
These words startled He Jiuniang, who subconsciously looked at Jiang Ruoya's eyes and realized that the two eyes were indeed somewhat similar, something she had never noticed before.
She smiled and said, "It's because I'm destined to meet you, Madam, that I'm able to help you with your illness. Now, Madam, can you tell me why you don't like the current treatment?"
"I...I don't want to forget Jiu'er, Jiu'er is my daughter!"
She suddenly grabbed Zhao Huanyu's hand with great force; any other girl would not have been able to withstand such force.
"You are my Jiu'er, how could I forget you? I don't want to get treatment anymore!"
Jiang Ruoya became somewhat agitated, staring at He Jiuniang with wide eyes, yet appearing somewhat helpless. This action made He Jiuniang feel sorry for her and hug her tightly.
Before He Jiuniang could speak, Jiang Ruoya continued, "But my husband said I'm sick and need proper treatment to recover. I don't want to make him sad... but I also don't want to forget Jiu'er, waaaaaah..."
Now He Jiu Niang finally understood why Jiang Ruoya was unwilling to receive treatment; it turned out the problem lay here.
"Do you think you'll forget about Jiu'er once you're cured?"
Jiang Ruoya nodded: "I heard you talking!"
One day, while giving Jiang Ruoya acupuncture, He Jiuniang thought Jiang Ruoya was asleep, so she casually said a few words to Ling Yue and Ling Xue beside her. It may have been about erasing memories, which Jiang Ruoya overheard and misunderstood.
"Madam must have misheard. I said that you should forget those unpleasant things from the past, not that you should forget Jiu'er."
"Really?"
Jiang Ruoya immediately pressed for an answer, saying that if she could not forget Jiu'er and could also cure her illness so that her husband would not have to worry, that would be the best thing.
"Of course, Jiu'er is a beautiful memory for Madam, and she will naturally remember her for a lifetime. We just need to forget the unhappy things, understand?"
"Uh-huh!"
Jiang Ruoya nodded emphatically: "I believe everything Jiu'er says!"
He Jiuniang breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that clearing up the misunderstanding would be more beneficial to the patient's recovery.
She pulled Jiang Ruoya to the bedside, intending to coax her to sleep so she could leave. But Jiang Ruoya stood up and pulled out a very thick little notebook from her bosom, handing it to her.
"This is a gift my husband asked me to give you. I was so angry just now that I almost forgot."
Jiang Ruoya sounded a little embarrassed, but actually she was angry that He Jiuniang wanted to erase her memories of Jiu'er and planned to give them to her tomorrow.
But Jiu'er explained to her that she hadn't understood and had misunderstood Jiu'er, so the gift had now become an apology.
He Jiuniang took the notebook, opened it, and was immediately stunned by the drawings and words inside.
Isn't this the "Records of Noble Ladies of Jingzhou" that she asked Sister Xu to buy last night?
Mrs. Xu said that what was sold outside was only basic information such as portraits and preferences, but this little notebook contained every detail, even clearly recording which lady had particularly smelly feet!
He Jiuniang: ...
There's no need to be so clear!
However, she only mentioned needing this thing last night, and Mingze delivered it to her today. Could it be that Mingze has spies in her house?
She wanted to ask Jiang Ruoya, but then she felt that Jiang Ruoya's current mental age probably didn't understand these things.
To everyone's surprise, Jiang Ruoya took the initiative to confess. She said in a memorized manner, "My husband said... said... that he knew your maid went to the shop to buy it and felt that the shop did not sell a complete range of products, so he sent you this gift."
He Jiuniang asked in surprise, "Is that shop owned by Qianfan Pavilion?"
"Yes! My husband owns many shops in the city. He's very capable!"
Jiang Ruoya nodded vigorously, looking adorable. When she talked about Mingze, she was like a little girl, praising him with her eyes closed.
However, Mingze truly deserves this uncritical praise; the only person in the world who treats Jiang Ruoya the best is Mingze.
He Jiuniang nodded. No wonder. Qianfan Pavilion is an organization that focuses on intelligence. No wonder it can do this kind of business.
"Thank you, Madam. Please convey my thanks to Master Ming."
It has to be said that Mingze put a lot of effort into this; she really needs this little notebook right now!
"You are welcome!"
Jiang Ruoya patted her chest, wanting to say, "I am your mother," but thinking of her husband's words, she was afraid that Jiu'er would be unhappy if she heard it, so she held back.
After putting Jiang Ruoya to sleep, He Jiuniang took her little notebook back to the clinic. Sitting in the carriage, she casually flipped through a few pages, smacking her lips and not stopping.
The inner quarters of this grand and wealthy family are truly fascinating!
Which family has two sisters sharing one husband? Whose child was killed by whom? It's absolutely outrageous!
He Jiuniang was engrossed in reading when she heard the coachman mention the clinic. Helpless, she could only reluctantly put away the notebook and read it again when she got home that night.
As soon as she got out of the car, she saw several burly, fierce-looking men standing at the entrance. He Jiu Niang thought she had come to the wrong place. But when she looked up, she realized that it was indeed Yu Yuan Tang, so she carefully walked in.
Once inside, He Jiuniang quietly pulled the young medicine boy aside and asked, "What's the deal with those burly men outside?"
The young apprentice glanced outside and whispered, "That's someone Doctor Song specially invited to oversee the clinic. He said that if anyone causes trouble again, our clinic won't be bullied."
Yuyuantang had always been a thriving business because Doctor Song was a retired imperial physician. Now, with the addition of He Jiuniang, the clinic was never empty, attracting many people who came from far and wide.
When there are too many people, trouble is more likely to occur. It's much better to have someone keep order than to be bullied directly.
He Jiuniang nodded in understanding; it seemed that yesterday's events had indeed upset Doctor Song.
But this is for the best; at least when those people come knocking on our door, we won't feel so helpless.
But with these burly men standing at the entrance, the patients might not dare to come to Yuyuantang for treatment anymore.
A quick glance around the clinic revealed that, as expected, there wasn't a single patient present today!
