May this scumbag husband, who favored his concubine over his wife, rest in peace.

A short while later, Chunhua returned with the medicine. Wangyou examined the herbs one by one and then began to prepare the medicinal paste.

Brewing the medicinal paste was a laborious process, and the bitter medicinal smell gradually filled every corner of the main courtyard.

In addition to the ointment, Wangyou also made a bottle of medicinal juice to relieve pain and itching. In the afternoon, when the ointment was successfully boiled, she sent the ointment and medicinal juice over together and personally taught the maid how to apply the medicine.

Such a commotion in the backyard naturally couldn't be kept from the old lady and Pei Zeyu.

Early in the morning, Xie Qianjiao pretended to be concerned and sent someone to check on Bai Tong's courtyard. When the person returned, he exaggerated and said that Bai Tong's face was already rotten beyond recognition. Pei Zeyu was indeed frightened and could not bear to listen anymore. He quickly told the servants to stop talking and specifically instructed them not to talk about that matter anymore.

After many days, Xie Qianjiao was finally able to spend time with Pei Zeyu again, and she felt more and more that taking action this time was the right thing to do.

By evening, news that Hyakutō's condition had stabilized reached Shōju-in.

The old lady didn't care whether Bai Tong's face was really ruined. Instead, she became interested in the skilled female doctor next to Wen Yuanshu, so she asked Zhang Mama to go and invite her over herself.

"That old lady is really something; she always comes so quickly when she can gain an advantage," Chunhua pouted.

Wangyou had already stood up: "It's just a trip, nothing serious, Madam, you don't need to worry."

“No,” Wen Yuanshu also stood up and walked towards her, “There is something I need your help with.”

Wangyou paused slightly, then said, "Madam, please don't be so polite."

-

A moment later, Zhang's mother took Wangyou and Chunhua back to Songshou Courtyard.

The old lady frowned as soon as she saw Chunhua.

Is Wen Yuanshu worried about her?

Chunhua curtsied and explained, "Madam, this young lady comes from a martial arts background and has a rebellious nature. Madam was afraid that this young lady might offend you with her words and actions, which is why she sent me along as well."

Upon hearing this, the old lady's brows relaxed slightly, and she nodded, gesturing for Wangyou to come forward.

Wangyou focused intently on taking the pulse, and after a moment said, "Has the old lady been experiencing chest tightness and shortness of breath recently? Accompanied by insomnia, gastrointestinal discomfort, and increased frequency of urination?"

"How amazing!" The old lady subconsciously exchanged a glance with Zhang Mama, and her respect for Wangyou grew even stronger. "Young lady, your medical skills are so profound at such a young age! This world is indeed full of hidden talents!"

"You flatter me, Madam," Wangyou replied indifferently.

"Now that you have identified the symptoms, do you have any remedies?"

Wangyou cupped her hands in greeting and said, "Although this ailment is somewhat detrimental to daily life, it is not a serious problem. If the old lady is unwilling to endure it... Yulin Pill can alleviate the symptoms."

"Rainy Pill?" The old lady frowned.

Madam Zhang's eyes darted around, and she stepped forward, saying, "Madam, I've heard that Yulin Pill is one of the signature formulas of Xinglin Hall, worth a fortune, and is extremely precious."

The old lady frowned slightly.

Worth a fortune...

This...I can't afford it...

Seeing the old lady's predicament, Wangyou cupped her hands again and said understandingly, "If Madam thinks Yulin Pill is too expensive, there are alternatives that are much cheaper and can be bought in ordinary pharmacies. They are just a bit more troublesome, as several herbs need to be used together to achieve the same effect as Yulin Pill."

The old lady finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Chunhua quickly coughed and pretended to lower her voice, saying, "Miss, the old lady is the matriarch of the Marquis's mansion. How can you send something from an ordinary pharmacy to her? You are insulting her!"

Wangyou's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she quickly said, "It was my oversight, I hope the old lady will not take offense."

The old lady, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly found herself stuck in the middle, and couldn't help but glare at Chunhua with annoyance.

Why is this little maid jumping out to set up a stage at this time!

She originally thought that medicines from ordinary pharmacies were not bad to buy, but after Chunhua's interruption, if she were to choose medicines from ordinary pharmacies again, wouldn't she be demeaning herself and lowering her status?
