The road to wealth of a peasant widow

Chapter 243 Medical Treatment

Qin Ruozhi pondered for a moment before she spoke: "Madame Chen, although Jirentang is the property of my Liu family, Doctor Qian is also my master. I can't accept this matter on her behalf. Can I report to my master and then reply to you?"

Since Nanny Chen came to express her gratitude and seek medical treatment, she naturally wanted to find out all the details about the relationship.

The young lady of the Liu family, who was obviously from a good family, was out practicing medicine all day after she got married, and she also took a medical master as her apprentice. This was considered a strange thing in the circle of officials in the entire capital!

What's even more strange is that her husband's family did not interfere in this matter. Some people said that it was because Mrs. Qin came from a high-class family and her in-laws did not dare to offend her, but in Nanny Chen's opinion, this was not the case.

No matter how noble a lady is, as long as her husband's family wants to control her, there are many ways that are hard to explain, making it difficult for the daughter-in-law to complain, and her family members cannot help but help their daughter.

Aunt Chen said that the reason why the eldest lady of the Liu family could act this way was because her husband's family was lenient and even supportive.

She had been in the palace since she was a child and had met countless women. She also knew best the contradictory relationships between women. Today, she finally realized that the relationship between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law was really close, and people would believe that they were mother and daughter.

This situation would not have happened if the mother-in-law did not treat her daughter-in-law sincerely and the daughter-in-law did not respect her mother-in-law sincerely.

Although the eldest lady of the Liu family did not immediately agree to see Dr. Qian, Nanny Chen was not in a hurry.

She had recently invited more than one famous doctor to see her princess. Almost all the prestigious doctors in the capital were invited. She did not really put her hopes on any one of them. Even if Doctor Qian could not make the trip in the end, it would not be a big loss. She was just casting a wider net.

After Nanny Chen left, Qin Ruozhi presented the gift list from Prince An's Mansion to Chen Cui for review.

"Mother, what do you think we should do with these?"

It's no wonder that Qin Ruozhi didn't put it into the warehouse directly. It was because the gift was too generous. The total value of all the things on the list was probably more than a thousand taels. The Prince An's Mansion had not been visible to the public for so many years, and I didn't expect that it had such a profound foundation!

After reading it, Chen Cui also fell silent. She knew what her daughter-in-law meant. People came to thank Sui Sui for saving the princess' life. She handed the gifts to her to ask whether some of them should be distributed to Sui Sui's small warehouse.

Chen Cui randomly selected a few exquisite toys and said, "Give these to Sui Sui. Even though it was a bit reckless, he saved a life after all. This is a thank you gift from him, and we can't let the child have nothing at all!"

I believe that after last night’s scolding, the child has realized her mistake. So I’ll give her part of the gift today, which can be considered a sweet treat!

"You go talk to Doctor Qian. Tell her that she doesn't need to worry too much. I have no objection to whatever decision she makes!"

Chen Cui said to her daughter-in-law.

"Yes, mother, I will tell the master."

In fact, Doctor Qian didn't think so much. After listening to his apprentice's narration, he agreed to go to the princess's house to see a doctor, which surprised Qin Ruozhi.

She felt that her master had always been compassionate to the weak and the poor, and that he would pay more attention to those from poor families than those from wealthy families, so he might not agree to see the princess.

"Silly child, poor people will not go to the clinic for treatment unless they have no other choice. If the doctor cannot explain things to them in detail, if they misunderstand something, it may cost a life. On the contrary, people who come from wealthy families are mostly well-informed and know a lot. There are some medical instructions that I don't need to explain in detail, they know them, so there is no need to waste my breath."

Qin Ruozhi thought about it carefully and felt that it made a lot of sense.

Most of the poor people have never been to school, are illiterate, and have a poor understanding of many things, so the master always reminds them tirelessly to make sure that the other party can understand his medical orders and do as he says. For the rich, the doctor's words are not that difficult to understand, so the master does not need to explain in such detail.

Since Doctor Qian had agreed to see the princess of Prince An's Mansion, Qin Ruozhi sent a message to him and arranged a time for his visit.

Although the palace invited Doctor Qian, Qin Ruozhi was also among the entourage when they actually went there.

In her words, "When the master is busy, the disciple will do the hard work." Since they are visiting patients at home, there must be someone to carry the medicine box. No one else in the clinic can be as reliable as her, the apprentice.

In fact, Doctor Qian knew that Qin Ruozhi was worried about him, so he followed her. When entering and leaving wealthy families, it was naturally better to have her, the young lady of an official family, accompany him.

Qin Ruozhi was a little surprised when she saw the legendary Princess Fuyou.

In her opinion, people who have been in poor health since birth and have to learn to take medicine before learning to eat are probably weak and cowardly, or at least fragile and pitiful.

However, although the Princess Fuyou she saw was thin, lying on the bed with pale cheeks and a sense of illness, there was no trace of depression in her expression. She was in the mood to chat and laugh with her and Doctor Qian, and her words revealed the delicateness and cuteness of a young girl.

If you don't look closely at her thin wrists and pale skin, you would think she is a healthy girl.

When Doctor Qian examined her, the princess did not look concerned at all. It seemed that she had no hope for the results of the diagnosis, and it seemed that she had expected everything and was not concerned or curious at all.

However, when Doctor Qian, after examining her body and asking questions, told her his diagnosis and felt that her disease was curable, her eyes suddenly lit up like stars in the sky!

Nanny Chen eagerly grabbed Doctor Qian's hand and asked her to prescribe a prescription, saying that no matter how expensive the medicine was, as long as it could cure the princess's illness, she would find it. Even if she couldn't, the nobles in the palace would always find a way.

Doctor Qian waved his hand to stop the excited Nanny Chen and wrote down the prescription for her to see: "There are no expensive herbs. The princess has used too many medicines over the years. Medicines are toxic. With so many toxins accumulated in the body, even the best people will inevitably have limited movements. What's more, the princess was born with deficiency and weak yang energy, which is not enough to restrain the toxicity of these medicines. This has placed a heavy burden on her body. No matter what medicine she uses in the future, it will only add to the burden, making it increasingly difficult for her to bear."

Nanny Chen was silent. Isn't this exactly the case? When the princess was a child, she could go out from time to time and take a stroll in the garden when the weather was good. But after drinking bitter medicine over the years, her body not only did not get better, but became weaker and weaker. In the past two years, she has reached the point where she can hardly go out.
