"Hehe, you must have tasted this medicine before, young lady."

"Oh?"

She's tasted it too?

Seeing her confusion, Granny Mei smiled and said, "I just said that Miss Xie's illness is a sign of imbalance between Yin and Yang."

When yin and yang are harmonized, yang heat is drained and yin fluids are nourished. Therefore…

Wu Weiwei's eyes widened in disbelief. "Are you talking about a man, Granny?"

Granny Mei nodded.

"Exactly."

For a moment, Wu Weiwei was speechless.

Unexpectedly, after all this trouble, the medicinal ingredient that could cure Xie Ningxin was actually a man.

No wonder.

In the story, Xie Ningxin married the prince, and on their wedding day, the prince also entered the bridal chamber to accompany her.

However, because of his promise to the female lead, the prince must not have been moved by Xie Ningxin, which is why her acne did not get better.

Because she admired the Crown Prince, but her inferiority complex caused her to always lack confidence when facing him.

Therefore, the power to manage the Marquis's mansion was entirely handed over to the female protagonist, and her status in the mansion was actually just a figurehead.

If she hadn't been jealous and plotted against the female lead, she probably wouldn't have been imprisoned by the prince in the family nunnery, spending her life with only the company of a Buddhist lamp and ancient Buddha.

So, what was she after when she married into the Marquis's mansion?

Wu Weiwei shook her head.

After seeing Chen Furong and the other woman out of the courtyard, Wang Xiulan saw her cousin walking towards them from not far away.

She clutched the silk handkerchief in her sleeve tightly.

"Furong, who is that girl in front of you?"

This was also the first time Chen Furong had met He Yuyan.

She looked at Wang Xiulan and asked, "Is she the concubine my senior brother brought back?"

Wang Xiulan nodded to her, "Yes, she is indeed the cousin of the Marquis's family."

After confirming He Yuyan's identity, Chen Furong said to Xie Ningxin, "You go back first! I'll go and meet her."

After saying that, he strode forward.

Xie Ningxin looked at Chen Furong, hesitated for a moment, and then followed her.

Wang Xiulan looked at the two of them, and a deep meaning flashed in her eyes before she quickly followed.

"You must be Miss He, the concubine my senior brother loves!"

Chen Furong stepped forward and blocked her way.

He Yuyan looked at the tall, dark-skinned woman in front of her, her gaze slightly sharpening.

"I am not Lu Hanting's concubine."

Her eyes showed disdain.

"No? But I heard that my senior brother has already acknowledged your status."

Now that I've brought you back to the Marquis's residence, then there's no mistake."

"People can talk, I can't control what they say, I only need to control myself."

Hmph, all talk and no action.

If she really doesn't want to, all she needs to do is bang her head against a wall, and no one can save her.

"Then I hope that Miss Biao can control her heart and not go against her original intention."

Since she said she had no interest in her senior brother, then I hope she can keep her promise and not compete with Sister Weiwei for his favor.

Hearing her words, He Yuyan frowned.

Dingxiang, standing to the side, said unhappily, "Who are you? What gives you the right to talk to our young lady like that?"

An ugly woman who is big and burly dares to point fingers at her daughter.

“Miss He, Furong didn’t mean it, please don’t take it to heart…”

Xie Ningxin, who had caught up, quickly apologized on Chen Furong's behalf.

Chen Furong is incredibly bold.

Didn't she know that the person in front of her was the crown prince's most prized possession?

Even Wu Weiwei probably wouldn't dare to provoke her easily!

But she went and provoked Wu Weiwei for her sake; I don't know what was going on in her head.

They were guests at the Marquis of Dingguo's residence.

But Chen Furong deliberately provoked her, not afraid that the prince would sever their master-sister relationship if he found out.

He Yuyan looked at the girl who suddenly appeared, and saw that her face was covered with a veil.

Just by looking at the few pimples on her forehead, you can tell why she covered her face.

She seemed like a sensible person.

He Yuyan, unusually kind, said, "You can't cover up your pimples; it will only make them worse."

"what?"

Xie Ningxin was surprised, "You're a doctor?"

He Yuyan nodded at her.

"Could you take a look at the pimples on my face?"

Xie Ningxin said timidly.

"Ningxin, just now Granny Mei wasn't..."

Chen Furong looked at her in astonishment, not understanding why she had asked someone else to look at her again.

"The more people who receive treatment, the more hope there is."

Xie Ningxin said to Chen Furong.

"Take off your scarf!"

Ignoring Chen Furong's watchful gaze from the side, He Yuyan directly took her pulse.

Watching He Yuyan frown and sigh.

Xie Ningxin couldn't help but ask, "Miss He, how are you? Can you cure my illness?"

After a while.

Xie Ningxin finally heard He Yuyan's calm voice: "Your condition isn't difficult to treat, but..."

He Yuyan looked at Chen Furong and Wang Xiulan standing to the side.

Chen Furong understood what she meant, of course.

She probably just doesn't like being around because she finds it hard to talk to him.

Xie Ningxin understood what she meant.

She looked at Chen Furong and said apologetically, "Furong, could you please leave for a moment?"

"All right!"

Chen Furong walked towards the lotus pond not far away.

Wang Xiulan nodded to the two of them, then turned and quickly left.

"Miss He, now that they're all gone, you can speak, right?"

He Yuyan looked at the girl with acne on her face and said softly, "Miss Xie, please allow me to say something bold."

Your illness requires the absorption of yang energy.

"Yang cultivation?"

How to harvest it?

Xie Ningxin looked at her, having lost all hope.

It turns out that all doctors speak in the same tone.

Monotonous.

She should wait for Granny Mei to prepare the ointment for her!

"What, you don't believe I can cure you?"

He Yuyan felt somewhat uncomfortable seeing her doubt about her medical skills.

“Miss He, it’s not that I don’t believe you.”

"But the doctors who treated me used similar treatment methods to yours."

Let me tell you the truth!

I just came from Aunt Wu's courtyard.

Your words are the same as what the old woman beside her said; they both told me to replenish my Yang energy.

She also said that once the last dose of medicine is found, she can prepare a complete ointment to cure my illness...

Xie Ningxin pulled her hand back and got up to leave.

Seeing Xie Ningxin's sudden change in attitude, He Yuyan wondered what was going on in her mind.

"You mean the old nanny next to Aunt Wu just examined you?"

"Correct."

Did she tell you what the last ingredient was?

Xie Ningxin frowned.

She didn't mention that.

He Yuyan thought to herself, "Just as I thought."

"I'm telling you, she has no chance of curing the acne on your face."

He Yuyan concluded.

"Impossible, she just promised me."

Xie Ningxin retorted.

"Since you agreed, why are you making excuses? Haven't you thought about why?"

"What exactly is the missing ingredient?"

Xie Ningxin had also begun to have doubts at this point.

Yes, if she said she was missing one ingredient, why not just tell her to go find it?

She is the daughter of a Duke's family, and her aunt is the Empress Dowager. She is just a medicine, how could she not find it?

"Because the last medicine that can cure your ailment is: a man!"
