Sang Wan tried to pick up the quilt on the ground.
I tried several times, but the distance was a bit far and I couldn't reach it.
She turned to support herself with her elbows and slowly slid half of her body out of the couch. It took a lot of effort for her to grab a corner of the quilt.
A pair of embroidered cloth shoes appeared before my eyes. The patterns were simple, like orchids.
"Miss Sang, let me help you."
She was a young woman of ordinary appearance and petite figure. She wore a plain and elegant green jacket that matched the orchid pattern on her shoes.
"Who are you?" Sang Wan asked suspiciously.
"I'm Qinghe, the doctor in the mansion. The prince sent me to apply medicine to the young lady."
Qing He carried the quilt from the floor back to the bed and opened the medicine box: "Don't move, girl. The wound is still bleeding."
Sang Wan endured the pain, her hair disheveled, and said, "Thank you."
Pei Jinzhi is such a pervert, giving a slap and then a sweet date, is he training a dog?!
She would never thank you.
Qinghe's hands were as gentle as her voice, and she treated the wound very carefully. Sang Wan felt less pain and liked her more.
"Do we have a female doctor in our house?"
"Of course there are. There are so many female relatives in wealthy families, and there are always some women's problems that are inconvenient for male doctors to treat." Qinghe smiled lightly, with clear eyes and eyebrows.
She approached Sang Wan and wrinkled her nose:
"Do you smell like herbs?"
"Before I entered the mansion, I worked as a handyman in a medicine shop. However, I'm not as good as my sister. I don't know anything about medicine."
Sang Wan rested her head on the back of her folded hands, tilting her head away, feeling very envious.
Qinghe's eyes became much warmer:
"We are actually half-fellow disciples. What a fate."
Sang Wan was embarrassed: "How can I be worthy of the title of fellow disciple? Sister, you are embarrassing me."
"Since you've worked in a pharmacy, you must understand the properties of herbs. This is part of medical knowledge and is already rare. Don't underestimate yourself." Qing He sprinkled medicinal powder on her wound. "Don't be afraid. It will hurt a little, but bear it."
Sang Wan grimaced in pain, his fingertips clenched so tightly that they almost penetrated into his flesh.
"Although this medicine may feel a bit burning when applied, it will work quickly. You'll be able to get out of bed tomorrow."
"Thank you, sister. How's Chunxiang? How is she?"
Qing He shook her head, apologetically saying, "I only followed the instructions of the Prince to apply medicine to you, Miss Sang. I don't know anything else."
Sang Wan's eyes were red and tears were welling up in her eyes:
"I got her into trouble."
Qing He put away the medicine box and handed her a small porcelain bottle:
"Here are the remaining medicines. I'll give them all to you. Remember not to let the wound come into contact with water these days."
"Okay." Sang Wan managed to prop up half of her body, "I'm sorry I can't stand up to thank you, sister."
"Just lie down and don't move. We'll have another chance to meet in this mansion. There's still a long way to go."
"How many years has my sister been in the Duke's Mansion?"
She must be in her twenties, and her hair is still in the same style as a young girl, so it seems she is not married.
"I came here with my master. He is the most experienced doctor in the mansion and has been here for more than ten years. When I came here, I was only your age."
Qinghe has a cold personality and is devoted to studying medical books, always keeping to himself. Today, when he saw that Sang Wan knew about medicinal herbs, he felt a sense of mutual admiration and talked to him a few more words.
"Sister, you're amazing. I used to fantasize about being a female doctor."
She entered the Tianshengtang herbal medicine shop at the age of seven and grew up smelling the aroma of herbs. However, there were very few women studying medicine. Doctor Cheng thought she was smart and wanted to teach her some basics, but Madam Cheng disagreed, saying that she was afraid of teaching her bad things.
In fact, they were afraid that Sang Wan would disobey discipline after studying medicine.
After all, the wages of handymen and servants are not much, but it is different for apprentices. Once they learn how to diagnose patients, won’t they steal Tianshengtang’s business?
Sang Wan didn't force it. She was already content with receiving the monthly allowance to buy medicine for her mother.
People can't be too greedy.
"Miss Sang, if you're interested, you can come to my house in Baicaotang when you're free. Medicine is a vast field, and I only have a superficial understanding. We could learn from each other."
Sang Wan's eyes lit up, "Sister, are you willing to teach me?"
Qing He covered her nose and smiled lightly, "It's not really about teaching, I just get along well with my sister, and having someone to talk to relieve my boredom."
"Okay, I will definitely come." Sang Wan was very happy.
"Have a good rest. There are many rules in this mansion. Be careful in the future."
Sang Wan lay dejectedly on the bed: "It's me who harmed Chunxiang. I don't know about these stupid house rules. I don't know how she is now."
"Sister, the aristocratic family has many strict rules and regulations. Remember this in the future. Observe more and talk less. Here, saving your life is the most important thing. People's hearts are fickle. Everyone is covered with a skin, but how can you know how many more skins are underneath this skin?"
Sang Wan was stunned. She never expected that Qinghe would speak so openly to her on their first meeting.
"Sister, you are such a good person."
Qing He just smiled, picked up the medicine box and walked out:
"There are no purely good or bad people in this world; they are all just trying to survive."
Sang Wan looked at her back, and for some reason, a deep sadness surged in his heart.
Life is not easy, she has known this for as long as she can remember;
At that time, my father had just died, and my mother suddenly coughed up a lot of blood. My brother always hung out on the streets, and our family was penniless.
She knelt outside the Tianshengtang shop for several hours before Doctor Cheng agreed to let her do odd jobs.
She thought her life would continue like this, but unexpectedly, fate pushed her into a deeper quagmire.
Oh...she needs to be extremely alert.
She can't die, her mother is still waiting for her.
After being beaten this time, I have seen clearly the true faces of these people in Zhaoyun Courtyard. I can’t afford to offend them, so I’d better stay away from them.
When Qiuyue first met her that day, she was very kind, but she turned out to be someone who changed her attitude faster than turning the pages of a book.
The dog resembles its owner. She and Pei Jinzhi are of the same kind.

Pei Jinzhi's bedroom.
After Li Jiu helped him bathe, he put on his inner clothes.
"Master, do you really believe this Cheng Buyu?"
Pei Jinzhi tied his belt and said, "Cast a long line to catch a big fish. Isn't the fish biting the hook now?"
Li Jiu suddenly realized: "I thought so. You are always cautious, how could you trust him so easily?"
"They went to great lengths to push Sang Wan in front of me, so how could it be as simple as just detoxifying me? What is their purpose? Wait and see."
Pei Jinzhi picked up the soup bowl on the table, took a sip, and frowned: "Turtle Jelly?"
Li Jiu burst out laughing: "Miss Sang stewed it."
Pei Jinzhi groaned and put down the bowl of soup:
"He's a fool. He was sold and still helped others count money."
"Why do you say that, Master?"
"Today, I noticed that the look in her eyes when she was staring at Cheng Buyu was not right. I guess it wasn't her intention to board the pleasure boat and enter the Pei Mansion."
"But she still managed to pull the strings and bring Cheng Buyu here. It's impossible that she was completely unaware of this, right?"
Pei Jinzhi tapped the table lightly, and Sang Wan's face appeared in his mind.
At this moment, he really wanted to raise the candle and illuminate her clearly in the darkness.
Is she really innocent?
