Ordinary observers in fast time travel

Chapter 920 Fang Niang
The following day, Lady Chengen and her daughter Wen Ruxue arrived at the Marquis of Anding's residence. He Wenbai and his wife also accompanied them.

"Is this the lady you were talking about?" Shi Jia looked at Wen Ruxue. What a coincidence, Zhao Wenwen's first husband and her wife.

"Yes."

He Wenbo was tall and handsome; no wonder Zhao Wenwen couldn't forget him at first sight and insisted on marrying him despite her parents' objections. Actually, Zhao Wenwen's first life was quite happy, except for the fact that she died young due to complications during childbirth.

But who could have imagined? Zhao Wenwen also possessed a time-space artifact. After her death, upon seeing He Wenbai's first wife, her resentment surged, causing her to reverse time.

In his second life, he went completely mad and met a bad end. Although he learned his lesson in his third life, his inherent obsession remained unchanged.

Looking back on Zhao Wenwen's three lifetimes, it was all her own fault.

"Thank you for your trouble, Dr. Zhao." He Wenbai cupped his hands to Shi Jia with a respectful expression, but Shi Jia felt that the other party's attitude was a bit strange.

However, she couldn't quite put her finger on what was strange about it.

His wife beside him also bowed to Shi Jia, saying, "Dr. Zhao, thank you for your trouble."

Shi Jia nodded. "Please sit down. Let me take your pulse first."

Shi Jia frowned. "Do you feel a cold sensation in your lower abdomen?"

"Yes, my lower abdomen is always cold, even in the middle of summer," Fangniang said.

"Yes, your meridians are blocked here, preventing the blood and qi from circulating properly, which naturally makes you feel cold," Shi Jia said. "Do you also feel lacking in energy?"

"Yes, I manage the household affairs every day, and I need to rest for half an hour every half hour, otherwise I will yawn constantly and feel extremely tired." Fangniang continued to nod.

"Madam, why didn't you tell me this before?" He Wenbai looked at Fangniang nervously.

Fangniang smiled and said, "My husband is busy with official duties, how could I trouble him? Besides, it's nothing serious, I just need to rest."

"Cough cough."

"Dr. Zhao, please heal my wife." He Wenbai bowed to Shi Jia, his attitude much more sincere this time.

“Madam He, your ailment is no small matter; it could greatly affect your lifespan.”

He Wenbai and Fangniang stared wide-eyed, their breathing rapid.

Shi Jia gestured for the two to be quiet, "Your illness is indeed a result of improper postpartum care, and it will take a lot of effort to cure it."

“No matter how troublesome it is, we will treat you. Please, Dr. Zhao, prescribe a medicine,” He Wenbai said.

“I’ll give Madam He acupuncture first,” Shi Jia said. “Acupuncture can unblock the meridians and stimulate the body’s potential to a certain extent.”

"Okay, I'll listen to Doctor Zhao." He Wenbai couldn't wait to obey Shi Jia's every command.

Shi Jia glanced at He Wenbai with surprise, but said nothing. She then told Chuncao to take Madam He to prepare for acupuncture.

“Lord He, Lady Cheng’en, ​​the treatment will take some time. You can go for a walk in the garden of the Marquis of Anding’s residence first,” Shi Jia said.

"Dr. Zhao, please go ahead with your work. Don't bother with us," said Madam Cheng'en. "Ruxue and I will go and pay our respects to Auntie in a little while."

"Okay." Shi Jia nodded, ignoring He Wenbai who was still there, and turned to enter the treatment room.

Half an hour later, Fangniang walked out of the treatment room with a rosy complexion, which surprised He Wenbai. How long ago was it that Fangniang had such a beautiful face? When did Fangniang's complexion start to get worse and worse, to the point that he had forgotten how vibrant Fangniang was?
"Fangniang, you, you're all better?" He Wenbai stammered.

"Pfft." Fangniang laughed. "Husband, what are you thinking? The divine doctor said my illness has penetrated to the bone marrow, how could it be cured in just one treatment?"

“But you…” He Wenbai gently stroked his wife’s face.

Fangniang blushed again and quickly dodged her husband's hand, "Husband, we're outside!"

"Cough cough!"

“Dr. Zhao.” “I gave Fangniang acupuncture, and she is now full of qi and blood, but this is temporary. As time goes by, she will return to her previous state,” Shi Jia said.

"Why not cure Fangniang in one go?" He Wenbai pressed.

Shi Jia was stunned for a moment. Didn't she just say that it couldn't be cured in one treatment?

"Husband, my illness is too serious; there's no way to cure it in one go," Fangniang tugged at He Wenbai's clothes.

“Yes, so, Fangniang, once you start feeling cold in your lower abdomen, you should come to me for acupuncture, understand?” Shi Jia handed the written prescription to Fangniang.

"Here are two prescriptions, one for internal use and one for foot soaking. I have written down the instructions on them."

"Thank you very much, Dr. Zhao."

"No need to thank me, just remember to pay the consultation fee." Shi Jia waved his hand.

"How much is the consultation fee?" He Wenbai asked.

Shi Jia was taken aback, then casually replied, "Fifty taels for today's consultation, and five taels for each acupuncture session thereafter." To be honest, this was the first time she had asked for payment herself when treating these wealthy people.

Previously, the patients' families had given consultation fees based on their own willingness, almost always amounting to thousands of taels of silver. However, considering He Wenbai's humble background, Shi Jia suggested a price that was not cheap, but one that He Wenbai should be able to afford.

Only fifty taels?

He Wenbai and his wife exchanged a glance, and finally Fangniang asked, "Dr. Zhao, is it really only fifty taels?" They had also inquired about the consultation fees that others had paid to Dr. Zhao.

"Well, if you didn't bring any money today, you can pay me next time," Shi Jia said.

"I brought it, I brought it," Fangniang hurriedly replied, somewhat conflicted, unsure of what to say. Should she offer to give him a hundred taels instead of fifty?

However, a consultation fee of one hundred taels is insignificant compared to others. Besides, it's unlikely that Doctor Zhao is short of that one hundred taels.

Therefore, neither of them dared to say it aloud. In the end, they paid the consultation fee, expressed their gratitude, and left the Marquis of Anding's residence with great emotion.

“My lord, I’m certain that Doctor Zhao has no memory of Zhao Wenwen.” He Wenbai arrived at the Marquis of Anyuan’s residence.

Xun Yue didn't even lift his eyelids. "That's all?"

"Uh, does the Marquis know?" He Wenbai scratched his head. They had already discussed the matter of testing Doctor Zhao, but he was too busy with official duties and couldn't find an excuse to meet Doctor Zhao, so it was delayed until now.

"Yes." Xun Yue nodded.

"So how does Your Excellency intend to handle this matter?" He Wenbai asked nervously. "I think Doctor Zhao is highly skilled and compassionate; she doesn't seem like the kind of treacherous villain."

Most importantly, she is currently treating her wife's illness, and Dr. Zhao must not have any accidents before her wife recovers.

Xun Yue looked at He Wenbai with a half-smile.

"Lord Marquis?" He Wenbai felt uncomfortable being stared at.

"You don't need to worry about how I treat her. After all, none of us know if the world will start anew after she dies. As long as she lives, it's the best thing for us."

"However, it's not just us watching her in the capital. Instead of worrying about what I might do to her, you should be more concerned about whether my three cousins ​​will make a move against her."

He Wenbai frowned, "His Majesty's health is declining day by day, yet he has been slow to choose a crown prince. It's understandable that the three princes are impatient, but to target Doctor Zhao..."

He didn't continue, because he already understood that the people of the capital had witnessed Dr. Zhao's medical skills, and that His Majesty had only improved after taking Dr. Zhao's elixirs.

Putting everything else aside, if His Majesty were to be cured by Physician Zhao, the three princes' schemes would fall through. Therefore, for the princes, His Majesty must die. As for why he is not dead yet, it is simply because the three princes are checking and balancing each other.

Simply put, the dispute hasn't reached a conclusion yet.

"Isn't Doctor Zhao in a difficult situation now?"

"Ha!" To this day, he still doesn't know her purpose.
