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

It may not be clear to outsiders, but in Song Xiaoniang's heart, everything is as clear as a mirror - she simply saw the extraordinary medical skills of this young woman from the countryside and wanted to keep her to treat those unspeakable hidden diseases.

Song Xiaoniang secretly sneered in her heart. She was not willing to let this plan succeed so easily, so she retorted coldly: "It is inappropriate for a woman to stay overnight outside. How can she stay any longer? Moreover, how can we let outsiders stay overnight in our Lin Mansion?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yu glanced at Song Xiaoniang lightly, feeling quite disdainful.

This person always likes to interfere in everything. What does it have to do with me whether she stays in the Lin Mansion or not?

What is even more surprising is that this young woman had the audacity to openly disagree with her mistress on multiple occasions.

This is quite rare in ancient mansions, which shows how important it is in Master Lin's heart.

However, Su Yu had no interest in the intrigues in the mansion and just wanted to end the matter as soon as possible.

So, she took advantage of the situation and said, "Song Xiaoniang is right. As a woman, I really shouldn't go out at night. If I hadn't heard that Lord Han's parents were seriously ill and in a critical condition, how could I come here so late at night and ignore etiquette? Now that the old lady's condition has improved, I will leave and not bother you anymore. Saving the dying and healing the wounded is the duty of a doctor, why should I thank you? Lord Han and his wife just need to pay the consultation fee according to the rules of the industry."

Su Yu's words not only cleverly countered Song Xiaoniang's doubts about her character, but also subtly reminded the Lin family that they should remember her kindness in extending a helping hand.

Unfortunately, some people just don't understand its meaning, or even misunderstand its intention.

When Song Xiaoniang heard this, she snorted and mocked herself in her heart.

He felt that Su Yu was greedy and stingy, and was indeed a short-sighted country boy who did not understand the rules of a powerful family.

Upon hearing this, Master Lin could not help but frown and glared at Song Xiaoniang with dissatisfaction. In the past, he thought that her straightforwardness was cute, but today, he felt that she was as stupid as a puppet.

"Natural, natural."

Although Master Lin was perfunctory in words, he had other plans in his heart.

Then, he turned to the housekeeper and ordered, "Qi Er, go to the accounting office and get the consultation fee immediately. Be sure to present it to Doctor Su with both hands to show our respect and gratitude to the Lin family."

Su Yu felt more and more confused. These people's reactions, either angry or laughing, were really puzzling.

While he was thinking about it, he saw the court doctor from the Lin residence rushing over, looking nervous and sweating profusely.

He was worried. Even many famous doctors were helpless to treat the old lady's illness. He was unable to attend to her in time due to family matters. He had prepared for the worst, but he did not expect that at this critical moment, someone could turn the tide and save the old lady's life...

In the early morning of the Lin Mansion today, the sun has not yet completely dispelled the morning mist, and the busy figures of the servants in the mansion are already shuttling back and forth between the corridors.

Su Yu walked briskly but slightly nervously, wondering in her heart, what was Master Lin's intention in calling her here today? Was it because she had repeatedly restored the old lady's health recently, which aroused the jealousy of Doctor Zhu, the palace doctor, and put her position as the palace doctor in jeopardy?

While her thoughts were in turmoil, she had already walked to the door of the main hall, adjusted her mood, straightened her clothes, and gently pushed the door open with the most solemn attitude.

In the hall, Master Lin sat at the main seat, his eyes dignified but with a hint of expectation. Su Yu's heartstrings tightened, and then he knelt down and saluted, his voice clear and polite: "Greetings, Master."

This greeting is both a sign of respect and a reflection of her self-esteem as a doctor.

Master Lin smiled slightly, and then introduced a young man beside him: "This is Doctor Zhu, who is highly trusted in our mansion. If Doctor Su has any questions or needs any assistance in medical skills, he can communicate directly with him."

Upon hearing this, Li Huaixin secretly rejoiced in his heart. He had thought that his position was in danger, but now it seemed that it was a false alarm. He could not help but feel curious and respectful towards this young woman who had attracted the attention of Master Lin.

He quickly took a step forward, his eyes full of sincerity: "Doctor Su, my name is Li Huaixin. I have long admired your medical skills. If you have any advice for me, please feel free to give me your guidance."

Su Yu responded with a smile, and then took out a carefully prepared prescription from his sleeve. He not only explained in detail the wonderful combination of each medicinal ingredient, but also emphasized the heat and time for boiling the medicine soup. His professionalism and meticulousness attracted the attention of everyone present.

Not only that, she also patiently taught the two personal maids around the old lady how to pat their backs with their hollow palms at specific moments to aid blood circulation. The two maids were full of energy because of Su Yu's conditioning, and they learned very seriously, with gratitude to Su Yu flashing in their eyes.

When everything was arranged, the butler Qi Er stepped forward respectfully and handed over a heavy purse.

Su Yu took it skillfully, shook it gently, and felt the weight of the coin. A satisfied smile appeared on his face.

She bowed deeply to Master Lin and his wife and said, "Thank you Master and Madam Master for your kindness. Su Yu will take her leave now." After saying this, she turned around and was about to leave.

The clever servant Yaoguang was quick-witted and stepped forward to lead the way for her.

Su Yu casually grabbed a handful of silver from his purse, gently put it into Yaoguang's hand, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work. This little gift is not a respect."

Yaoguang took the silver with both hands, unable to conceal his excitement. This money was almost earned from his hard work for half a year. He had even more admiration and respect for this woman of similar age but with superb medical skills.

Looking at Su Yu's gradually receding back, Madam Shao Fu couldn't help but feel a sense of inexplicable emptiness.

Deep in her heart, she longed for Su Yu to stay and treat her, but due to her face and fear of being criticized, she could only hold the handkerchief tightly in her hand and silently made up her mind to find out where Su Yu lived in the future, and it would not be too late to ask for help in private.

All of this was seen by the shrewd Song Xiaoniang.

She stood aside with a barely perceptible sneer on her lips, as if she had seen through Madam Shao Fu's thoughts.

She secretly planned to find a way to ruin the reputation of Doctor Su and see who could save Madam Young Master by then!

So, Song Xiaoniang took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and sneaked into the old lady's bedroom.

Soon, she pretended to be surprised and shouted, "Oh, how come the priceless jade bracelet on the old lady's hand is gone? It is a family heirloom of the Lin family, a symbol of blessing the family's prosperity!"

As soon as the words were spoken, it was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

Upon hearing the news, people rushed into the room anxiously, only to see that the old lady's wrist was empty and the precious bracelet was nowhere to be found.

Master Lin's face turned pale, and he sternly questioned the two maids, "Yunxin, Qiuyu, how did you take care of the old lady? Where is the bracelet?"

The two maids were terrified and fell to their knees, repeatedly saying, "Master, we really didn't see it disappear..."

"Didn't you see it? You were by my side day and night, how could you not notice such an important thing?"
