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

"Really, there's no need." Wen Yuanshu took out only a porcelain bottle and then closed the box again.

She couldn't be too capable in front of the old lady.

Otherwise, she'll have to shoulder all the problems in the future.

Seeing this, Mr. Zhou flicked his sleeve and said, "Whatever!"

When Wen Yuanshu tried to give him money again, Old Master Zhou glared at her and said, "What are you doing? Put it away! When did you become so distant? How much grievance have you suffered in the Marquis's mansion? I'll have to tell your father about it when I drink with him tonight!"

After a pause, Mr. Zhou said, "Now that you're here, let me see how you are feeling these days."

Wen Yuanshu handed over her wrist as instructed.

Mr. Zhou pondered for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "Eh? You've recovered quite well! You've already recovered about 50 or 60 percent. Did you find someone outside to help you?"

Wen Yuanshu nodded and didn't hide anything: "It was... a female doctor sent by an old friend. She's very skilled in acupuncture."

Although the acupuncture process was a bit tough, the results were gratifying, so her suffering wasn't in vain.

Mr. Zhou was finally relieved: "Hmm, not bad, very good! I'll adjust your prescription just in time!"

As he spoke, Mr. Zhou wrote down his pen with a flourish, and Wen Yuanshu grabbed the medicine as she went out.

Upon returning to the Marquis's residence, Wen Yuanshu put her medicine back and then took the porcelain bottle containing the Rain-Clearing Pill to Songshou Courtyard.

“Mother-in-law, I knelt down at Xinglin Hall begging for medicine, but I only managed to get this one pill.” Wen Yuanshu lowered her head, as if blaming herself for her poor performance. “However, I feel that Doctor Zhou seemed to have some dissatisfaction with the Marquis’s mansion in his words, as if… our Marquis’s mansion had offended him in the past?”

The old lady also frowned.

She was always very polite to the junior doctors at Xinglintang, so how could she dare to offend Doctor Zhou?

The old lady couldn't figure it out for a moment, and her gaze involuntarily fell back onto the porcelain vase.

Today, Wen Yuanshu knelt down to beg for medicine, presumably without trying to hide it from others. As a result, although she was dissatisfied, she could no longer allow Wen Yuanshu to show her face.

But this one pill is useless.

This Wen Yuanshu is truly useless. Whenever we need her, she either makes excuses or fails to get things done...

The old lady's tone suddenly turned cold: "Alright, Yuan Shu, you've had a hard day. Go back and rest!"

“…Yes.” Wen Yuanshu curtsied and then turned to leave.

As soon as they returned to the main courtyard, Chunhua couldn't hold back any longer: "The old lady is really something else. You even knelt down to beg for medicine, you deserve some credit for your hard work! And she still treats you like this! How can there be such a heartless person in this world!"

Wen Yuanshu raised her hand: "Alright, don't say that again."

Even in your own yard, you can't speak so recklessly.

Chunhua pouted: "Yes, Madam, this servant understands."

-

The next day, Wen Yuanshu got up and dressed as usual.

Now that she has nothing to do, she takes her time to groom herself.

Just then, a maid suddenly trotted in, her face beaming with joy: "Madam! Our family has arrived!"

Wen Yuanshu was slightly taken aback: "Who's here?"

The maidservant spoke and gestured, "The old general and his wife, as well as the two young generals and their wives, have all arrived! The Marquis is personally greeting them at the front and has even sent people to invite you to come over as well!"

Overjoyed, Chunhua unconsciously quickened her movements.

Wen Yuanshu raised her hand and said, "No need to rush, we'll go slowly."

Chunhua asked, puzzled, "Madam?"

“Father, Mother, Brother, and Sister-in-law must have come because of yesterday’s events. The front hall should be quite lively right now.” Wen Yuanshu smiled, a sly glint in her eyes.

After slowly dressing and doing her hair, Wen Yuanshu leisurely went to the front yard.

Before even entering the hall, one could see a circle of soldiers holding weapons standing outside the hall.

A less-than-friendly voice came from inside: "My lord, since our two families are related by marriage, we are practically one family. We've come here out of concern. Please tell us how the old lady is doing. Our Wen family will personally seek medical help for her!"
