Chapter 405:1 Will Be Good and Not Run Around
Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In her words and actions, she was clearly looking out for her fiance, making it certain that she would not leave behind her family’s pet.
Seeing her like this, Huangfu Lingyao looked at her with a silly smile on his face, perfectly embodying the appearance of a ‘foolish son’!
Madam Jiang smiled and said, “With so many people here, we’ll let King Dun Yu wait in the courtyard.”
It was neither a private meeting nor an entry into the women’s chambers, so there was no cause for suspicion.
Then, she added, “We heard from our dear Miaozhen that Eldest Miss Liu intends to practice medicine and even plans to open a medical hall?”
“Yes, the medical hall is located on the street near the City G.o.d Temple and is scheduled to open on the sixth day of May.” In front of their elders, Liu s.h.i.+mei continued to hold hands with Huangfu Lingyao as they walked forward, showing no intention of letting go.
Everyone knew they were already married before their engagement, so there was no need to be coy.
She sincerely explained, “I promised Miaozhen earlier at Spring Garden that I would come and treat the Old Madam, but I’ve been busy preparing for the medical hall’s opening recently, so I was delayed.”
Originally, she had planned to wait until the medical hall was open before coming to treat the old lady, but she had to come early because she needed to visit Zhang Miaozhen’s injured foot.
Madam Jiang, as the matriarch of the Zhang family, was a sensible person. After giving it some thought, she said, “The weather has been good lately, and the Old Madam’s legs can still support her. This morning, she was clamoring to go out for a walk. How about this: on the day your clinic opens, we’ll have the Old Madam visit the medical hall, and you can treat her then?”
Liu s.h.i.+mei was somewhat surprised.
She did not expect Madam Jiang to be so understanding. No wonder she had raised a daughter with such high emotional intelligence as Zhang Miaozhen!
She politely replied, “No worries. Rheumatic pain isn’t something that can be cured in a day or two. Let’s go and check on Old Madam’s condition for a while and discuss it later.”
Since everyone was already here, despite conflicting with the plan, she had to accept it.
Compared to the Lotus Courtyard where Liu s.h.i.+mei had stayed before, Zhang Miaozhen’s courtyard was better than expected. Before entering, Liu s.h.i.+mei needed to settle her silly dog first. “Lingyao, can you stay here and wait for me?”
Her tone was gentle, as if she were coaxing a child.
The silly dog, especially in front of strangers, would give his wife. He nodded. “Okay, I’ll be good and won’t run around. Go ahead, Wife!”
Liu s.h.i.+mei smiled at him tenderly, patted his hand, and then turned to enter Zhang Miaozhen’s room with Madam Jiang.
“s.h.i.+mei, you’re here.” Zhang Miaozhen’s smile was somewhat excited, very clearly filled with joy. “I received your message earlier today, and I’ve been waiting for you! I initially wanted to go out to greet you, but when I thought that you said it’s best to rest for a couple of days, I had to stay obediently in my room.”
Liu s.h.i.+mei chuckled. “That’s the way it should be. Your legs are your own. If you don’t cherish them, who can cherish them for you? Let me first check your pulse and then take a look at your feet.”
After examining her pulse, Liu s.h.i.+mei checked Zhang Miaozhen’s twisted ankle and confirmed that there was nothing wrong. She said, “There’s nothing wrong with your ankle. But Miaozhen, your body feels a bit cold. Is your monthly cycle painful?”
“Oh, Eldest Miss Liu, your medical skills are truly amazing!” Madam Jiang had been somewhat skeptical about Liu s.h.i.+mei’s medical skills, but her daughter insisted that she was skilled, so she reluctantly believed it. Hearing her words now, she completely believed in Liu s.h.i.+mei’s medical abilities.
This was also why Liu s.h.i.+mei had chosen to examine Zhang Miaozhen’s pulse. She needed to provide some solid evidence so that Madam Jiang would trust her to treat the Old Madam.
Madam Jiang sighed and said, “Isn’t it? When Miaozhen was young, she was quite healthy. But last winter, she accidentally fell into an icy lake while attending a poetry gathering! Fortunately, she was rescued in time and suffered no major injuries, but her body was chilled. She’s taken plenty of herbal medicine, but she still sweats and experiences pain every month during her cycle.”
“Last winter?” Liu s.h.i.+mei recalled for a moment. It seemed like there was such an incident..
