"Sister Jinnian, my grandmother is also not well. Could you also visit my home and take a look at her?" Hu Shuiling quickly asked as well.
Yun Jinnian nodded, "I will definitely go!"
"Sister Jinnian, my grandfather is also unwell. When could you also visit my home?" Chen Danyan, afraid Yun Jinnian had forgotten her, hurriedly interjected.
Yun Jinnian felt touched, "Thank you for believing in me. Since you all trust me, I will surely make the visits, but for now, priority must be given to the elder madam!"
There are different priorities for different matters, and the elder madam’s life is currently hanging by a thread, so of course, she should be the first concern.
Lunch was served in Dai Hanmi’s courtyard, a large table full of dishes, including several kinds of fresh vegetables.
"Thanks to Sister Jinnian’s blessing, we’re feasting today!" Ruan Wanrong remarked with a smile.
Dai Hanmi teased her, "Even when you’ve visited in the past, I have served you good food and dishes!"
"Still, it’s not as good as today’s!"
Dai Hanmi smiled softly without replying.
The dishes prepared today were indeed exceptional!
If Yun Jinnian were to save the grandmother, she would be a distinguished guest of the Dai Family, a benefactor. Not to mention the Marquis Residence, even the Empress herself would reward her handsomely!
After lunch, Mrs. Qu from the second young master’s family brought over some desserts personally and, holding Yun Jinnian’s hands, offered her heartfelt thanks.
Yun Jinnian looked at Mrs. Qu, "Sister-in-law, it seems you’ve had a miscarriage before, and afterwards, your health has never been quite right."
Upon hearing Yun Jinnian’s words, the few girls in the room blushed.
"Sister Jinnian, you’re really too naughty!"
Stomping their feet, they all ran out.
Yun Jinnian immediately felt somewhat embarrassed, "I..."
"No worries, they are all candid and good girls. But how did you figure it out?" Mrs. Qu inquired.
But in her heart, she was even more convinced of Yun Jinnian’s exceptional medical skills.
"Looking at sister-in-law’s complexion, you appear rosy, but there’s a bluish tint under your eyes and a slight obstruction in your gaze. Looking further at your fingernails, they’re dull and lusterless. Most importantly, there’s a medicinal herb fragrance and a fishy smell on you. You must not be sleeping well at night, having nightmares, breaking out in night sweats, and your feet are cold!"
As Yun Jinnian finished, Mrs. Qu stood up abruptly, "You, you’re incredible. These symptoms were only identified by several physicians after careful examination, and you noticed them just by seeing me this morning. Did you detect this when we met, and are you planning to bring medicine for me when you said you’d come to visit next time?"
"Dear sister, you’re so endearing. Wealth is external, but you care for your sister-in-law so much, it truly warms my heart!"
Remembering Yun Jinnian’s past experiences, Mrs. Qu’s heart went out to her even more.
"If there’s ever anything you crave, just send someone to tell me, and I will cook it and send it over!"
Mrs. Qu tapped Yun Jinnian’s nose, "That’s really not cute. Your sister-in-law is trying to curry favor with you, do you realize that?"
Yun Jinnian nodded, "Then I’ll write a prescription for you, sister-in-law. Follow the prescription I provide: one for ingestion, one for bathing, and the last is to boil the herbs, crush them, pack them in a gauze and place it... there."
As Yun Jinnian said this, her face also turned red.
Mrs. Qu, however, chuckled.
Yun Jinnian wrote out three prescriptions for Mrs. Qu, who, clutching the prescriptions, hurried away eagerly.
Upon returning to the courtyard, the second young master was also present. Seeing her very happy, he asked in puzzlement, "What’s the matter?"
"Sister Jinnian has given me three prescriptions, and I’m going to see Imperial Physician Dai to have a look!"
Whether they were good or not, the truth would soon be clear.
Imperial Physician Dai had been assigned to the Marquis Residence by the Empress’s decree to take care of the elder madam, and had his own quarters. Previously, when the elder madam suddenly fell ill and Yun Jinnian helped, Mrs. Qu brought over the prescriptions, but Imperial Physician Dai was unaware that the elder madam had been saved by Yun Jinnian.
After examining the prescriptions and checking Mrs. Qu’s pulse, Imperial Physician Dai finally said, "These prescriptions are extraordinarily excellent. Treating with all three approaches, your health should be completely restored within two months. After recuperating for half a year, you will be prepared to start planning for a pregnancy!"
