Outside her house, two carriages were parked one in front of the other, and two simply dressed maids stood outside the front carriage.

At that moment, Green Field was bringing them hot water, while Elder Xing stood silently to the side, his expression somewhat scrutinizing.

The two carriages were dark blue and looked particularly inconspicuous. Most people wouldn't pay much attention to them, but Fang Qingyou felt that this was a deliberate attempt to keep a low profile.

"Xiao You, they've been here for a while now. They only say they want to see you, and they won't say anything else," Yi Lingyun said. These women were able to remain calm under Elder Xing's questioning, so they must not be ordinary maids.

Fang Qingyou said with some curiosity, "I'll go take a look first."

Upon seeing Fang Qingyou approach, the two maids waiting outside the carriage immediately stepped forward and curtsied to her: "Are you Miss Fang?"

Fang Qingyou nodded slightly: "Is there something you need from me?"

The older maid replied, "Miss Fang, my mistress is unwell, so I've come to see you for treatment."

Upon hearing this, Fang Qingyou glanced at the dark blue carriage behind the two and asked, "Is the patient in the carriage?"

"Yes, Miss Fang."

"Okay, then let me check on your wife's condition first."

"Miss Fang, please." At this moment, the side curtain of the carriage was lifted by an arm, and then a gentle young female voice came.

The light inside the carriage was dim, and Fang Qingyou could not see the woman's face clearly.

However, the stuffy heat and the smell of medicine inside the carriage were particularly noticeable.

The smell wasn't pleasant, but Fang Qingyou boarded the carriage without changing her expression.

Upon seeing this, Elder Xing frowned. This young lady got into the man's carriage without even asking who he was.

Yi Lingyun was not worried. Although he did not know who was in the carriage, he could tell from the kind faces of the maids that the people in the carriage were not vicious.

Fang Qingyou boarded the carriage and discovered that there was a pale and thin woman lying inside. She was in very poor mental condition, drowsy and unable to open her eyes, and seemed to be in a daze.

The young woman who had just helped Fang Qingyou into the carriage said, "Miss Fang, hello. My name is Bai Su, and this is my wife."

Fang Qingyou nodded slightly, somewhat surprised that such a gentle-looking woman was just a maid.

However, she didn't think much of it. Instead, she reached out and placed her hand on the woman's pulse to examine it carefully. Only after a long while did she release her fingers.

Seeing Fang Qingyou frowning, Bai Su's heart tightened slightly: "Miss Fang, may I ask how my mistress is?"

Fang Qingyou did not answer, but instead asked coldly, "Do you know that your wife's illness cannot be exposed to wind and cold? How could you let her travel so far, traveling in the early morning? Also, after you arrived at my house, why didn't you ask me to come out and treat your wife earlier?"

"Miss Fang, I'm so sorry, but my wife suddenly fell ill last night and her condition is getting worse and worse. We really can't wait any longer, so we're traveling through the night in the hope that she can receive treatment as soon as possible."

Bai Su refused to say more. Yi Lingyun glanced at her and felt that they seemed to be deliberately hiding their identities and did not want too many people to know about this lady's situation.

In fact, this lady's physical condition only appeared serious on the surface, and was not yet critical. However, it is understandable that non-medical people would be anxious and worried, as they do not understand these things.

Fang Qingyou did not press the matter further. She only knew that she was a doctor, and as long as patients sought her treatment, she would do her best to help them recover. As for other matters, she would not inquire about them.

"Please wait for me a moment while I prepare myself before I come out to treat your wife."

Upon hearing this, Bai Su was overjoyed. Fang Qingyou's words meant that she might actually be able to cure the lady.

"Miss Fang, are you going to treat my lady's illness in the carriage?"

Fang Qingyou nodded and said, "Yes, the dew is still heavy outside, so it's not suitable for your wife to go out."

A hint of admiration flashed in Bai Su's eyes. Given her status as a lady, none of the doctors were willing to treat her after examining her condition, fearing that something might go wrong and damage their reputations.

This young lady didn't even know the identity of her mistress, yet she showed her such respect and concern. Such medical ethics are truly rare.

Similarly, this young lady's medical skills are indeed quite good; she seems to have already diagnosed her mistress's illness.

Fang Qingyou made some preparations, bringing silver needles and medicine with her before coming out.

This lady didn't have any major illnesses, but she had some endocrine disorders, some cold uterus, and some inflammation.

These illnesses are not difficult to treat, but in ancient times, men and women were not allowed to have close contact, and male doctors faced many taboos when treating female patients, which prevented her condition from being properly treated.

If she wasn't mistaken, this woman had been unable to conceive after marriage and had seen many doctors and taken all sorts of medications in an effort to get pregnant.

Her current physical condition is purely due to excessive drug toxicity in her body, coupled with prolonged bed rest and lack of exercise, as well as unresolved emotional issues.

This state lasted for too long, which wore down her body and caused her health condition to deteriorate.

After boarding the carriage again, Fang Qingyou did not rush to treat the lady. Instead, she asked Bai Su about her usual health condition and previous medications. She did this not because she was unsure about the lady's illness, but simply to reassure them of her medical skills.

If she starts treating patients without saying a word, the patients' families will inevitably worry.

Bai Su's answer made Fang Qingyou more certain of her deduction, so she told Bai Su about the lady's condition and the treatment plan.

Then Bai Su leaned down and whispered something in the lady's ear, and the lady nodded weakly.

Afterwards, Bai Su straightened up and said to Fang Qingyou, "Miss Fang, Madam is willing to accept Fang Qingyou's treatment. We'll have to trouble you from now on."

Fang Qingyou smiled and began to prepare.

Bai Su asked a maid outside to prepare the medicinal soup first, while she fed the lady the warming and nourishing medicine given by Fang Qingyou.

The acupuncture treatment continued for an hour. The lady had already fallen asleep, and it was impossible to tell how she was feeling, but her complexion looked much better.

By then, it had warmed up outside.

Fang Qingyou gave Bai Su some instructions, and while waiting for the medicine to be brewed, she went to do her postponed exercise.

During the meal, Fang Qingyou didn't forget the lady and Bai Su, and asked Lvye to send them food.

After the medicine had been simmering for a full hour and a half, Bai Su fed the lady the soup.

It was already noon, the sun was shining brightly, and it was exceptionally warm outside.

Following Fang Qingyou's instructions, Bai Su helped the lady take a walk outside.

During the process, Fang Qingyou was busy with other things, but she would go over to check on the lady's condition from time to time.
