The rural doctor is busy with farming, and her abstinent husband can't bear it

Song Xiaoniang wanted to explain herself, but found herself speechless and could only walk away in anger.

Su Yu smiled lightly and mocked in her heart: Ignorant people should teach you when to be silent!

Then, Su Yu turned to Master Lin, his tone full of concern: "Master Han, you look haggard, you must have been worried about the old lady's condition for many days, which made it difficult for you to rest. I will prescribe a prescription for you to calm your nerves later. After taking it, you must have a good rest for a night. I am here with the old lady, so you can rest assured!"

Master Lin's gaze fell gently on the old lady's peaceful sleeping face, and the anxiety and worry in his heart finally found a little comfort.

"Then I'll leave it to Dr. Su."

His words were full of trust and gratitude, as if he saw a glimmer of hope.

Su Yu waved his hand gently, with a bit of casual humility in his gesture, and said politely, "No, no, it's my duty."

However, her eyes were slightly lowered, and a small ripple was quietly stirred in her heart. She thought secretly: I hope they will not forget the generous reward behind my hard work!

Then, she gracefully unfolded the rice paper, picked up the brush and dipped it in ink, and with the movement of her wrist, prescriptions appeared on the paper like flowing water. Every stroke contained her profound medical attainments and precise grasp of the characteristics of medicinal materials.

After writing, she carefully instructed the servants to prepare the medicine according to the prescription. Every instruction was meticulous, revealing her deep concern for the patient.

"Remember, this medicine needs three bowls of water, and it should be simmered slowly until only one bowl is left before it can be presented to you for drinking."

Her voice was gentle yet firm, and every word she said was like the warm sunshine falling on people's hearts, giving them comfort and trust.

"As for the other two doses, be sure to carefully select the herbs. Once completed, move the medicine furnace to the old lady's room. I need to personally monitor the process of boiling the herbs to ensure that the medicinal properties are perfectly blended."

Her tone was full of seriousness about her duties, and she would not allow for any sloppiness.

Looking at the maids' slightly tired figures, Su Yu felt pity.

Because the old lady's condition worsened, they had not had a good rest for several days and their faces were full of fatigue.

She spoke gently, trying to lighten their burden: "Put down your work first, tidy up the room, and find me a light fan. Then go and have a good rest. I'm here."

Upon hearing this, the two maids were so grateful that they could not express it in words. They quickly bowed and thanked him, their eyes flashing with sincere admiration and gratitude for Su Yu.

For them, being able to have a moment of respite during this difficult time is undoubtedly a great blessing.

Su Yu stood alone by the fire, focused and cautious.

When the medicine began to boil, she skillfully turned down the heat on one pot and simmered it over low heat to allow the medicinal properties to be gently released. The other pot was moved to the side of the old lady's bed. The flames leaped like a guardian fire spirit, and the aroma of the medicine gradually became stronger and turned into a lingering mist.

Holding a fan, she gently sent the medicinal mist towards the sleeping old lady. This action was intended to help the medicine penetrate the lungs and relieve the pain of phlegm disease.

From late at night till dawn, Su Yu stayed awake and kept adding firewood and medicine until the power of the medicinal residue gradually weakened, and then he stopped.

She looked out the window. The sky was already showing the faint light of morning light. The pot of medicinal soup simmering over the low fire was still bubbling quietly. She lifted the lid and took a closer look. It would take another hour to cook.

Su Yu stretched his stiff body, rubbed his eyebrows which were sore from staring for a long time, and forced himself to be strong, ready to greet the new day.

Another hour passed quickly, and the sky was already bright. Footsteps were heard outside the courtyard. Master Lin and the women in his family came to visit the old lady's recovery with anxious looks on their faces.

The old lady was still immersed in a deep sleep. Su Yu was gently feeding her the last sip of medicine. He estimated in his heart that after the medicine took effect, it would take several hours for the old lady to wake up from her dream.

Facing Master Lin's urgent questioning, Su Yu calmly explained: "The old lady has been weak recently. Last night I used strong medicine to induce her to cough violently to clear the phlegm in her body. Although she was saved from danger, she was exhausted and fell into a deep sleep. But please don't worry too much. After a good rest, the old lady will wake up safely."

After hearing this, Master Lin couldn't wait to ask, "So, the old lady's illness has been completely cured?"

Su Yu shook his head gently, his eyes full of sincerity: "The old lady's illness has been going on for a long time, and it cannot be cured in a short period of time. It requires persistent decoction conditioning and careful care. But please rest assured, as long as you take the medicine on time and take good care of her, the old lady's physical condition will gradually improve and return to her former health."

Her words, like the warm spring breeze, brought infinite hope and confidence to everyone.

After Master Lin heard this, a trace of admiration flashed in his eyes. He nodded and praised repeatedly, his voice full of excitement: "Good, good! Doctor Su, you can really be said to have cured the disease with medicine. The old lady is convinced. You are really a miracle doctor who brought her back to life!"

His tone was filled with sincere recognition and gratitude for Su Yu's medical skills.

Su Yu smiled slightly and waved his hand, his posture elegant and humble, with a gentle air between his eyebrows: "Thank you, thank you, Master Lin, for your praise. But speaking of which, I have not returned home this night, and my relatives at home must be extremely worried and anxious."

"Since the old lady's condition has gradually stabilized, I dare to ask you to summon the doctor immediately. After I hand over the details of the treatment to him, I will rush back home to avoid worrying the elders at home."

Su Yu's words revealed his deep concern for his family.

Upon hearing this, Madam Shaofu asked with concern, "Madam Su, where do you live? If the journey is far, I'm afraid you must be even more tired after traveling all the way."

Su Yu tilted his head slightly, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, puzzled by the sudden question from Madam Shao Fu.

Madam Shaofu seemed to realize her abruptness and quickly explained with a gentle smile on her face: "Oh, I mean, Madam Su, your eyes are red, obviously from staying up late, why don't you stay in the mansion and take a rest? In this way, we can also fulfill our hospitality and thank you for your selfless efforts. As for notifying your family, the Lin Mansion will naturally send someone to handle it properly to ensure safety and worry-free."

Master Lin was moved when he heard this, and felt that what the lady said made sense, so he immediately agreed, "Madam, you are right. Doctor Su is not only kind and compassionate, but also saved my mother's life. The Lin family should thank him greatly. Doctor Su might as well stay and rest for a while, so that we can show our gratitude."

The tacit cooperation between the couple made Song Xiaoniang, who was standing by, feel mixed emotions. Her eyes were filled with complex resentment as she stared straight at Madam Shao Fu, as if she wanted to see through her intentions.
