Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine
Chapter 468: Healing
The eldest lady acted decisively and dealt with Wan Xiaoniang's two maids that same day.
Xinghua was punished to work in the farm, while Lihua was transferred to Ruiheyuan by the eldest lady.
Lihua told the truth, and the eldest lady was afraid that she would be bullied in the second house in the future, so she simply let her move to her own courtyard.
When Aunt Chen from the second house learned that the old lady and others had gone to Wan Xiaoniang's residence, she immediately sent someone to inquire.
Aunt Liu, who was beside her, came back from outside and said, "Auntie, I have found out clearly——"
Aunt Chen quickly put down the embroidery she was doing and asked, "What happened?"
"Mrs. Wan met Miss Dong outside today. She didn't know Miss Dong's identity, so she said that Miss Dong frightened her and caused her to have a miscarriage and stomachache. The maidservant beside her also asked Miss Dong to come with her, saying that if anything happened to her and the child, she would never let them off easily."
Aunt Chen was surprised and asked, "Are you talking about the Miss Dong who used to be a servant in the mansion, but is actually the daughter of Mr. Dong from the Censorate, and the Miss Dong who has been treating the old lady's old illness these days?"
"It was her," Madam Liu continued. "This matter alarmed the old lady, the first lady, the third aunt, and the prince. Miss Wan and her maid named Xinghua insisted that Miss Dong frightened her. Later, the old lady personally asked another maid, and the maid said that Miss Dong was just passing by and would not have frightened Miss Wan at all. The second lady even invited three doctors to examine Miss Wan, and they all said that the child was fine."
"When Miss Wan found out about Miss Dong's identity, she begged the old lady for mercy, saying that she was too worried about the child. In the end, the old lady confined her to her home, and even Xinghua was banished to a farm in the countryside by the first lady."
After hearing this, Aunt Chen snorted coldly, "What a fool! She takes advantage of her pregnancy and favor to look down on others. She even dares to offend Miss Dong. I don't know what she is thinking. Now she doesn't have to show off everywhere with her belly."
Madam Liu agreed, "What Auntie said is right. Ever since Miss Wan got pregnant, she has been neglecting you. It would be better if the old lady taught her a lesson, so that she won't be so arrogant now. If she really gives birth to a bastard son, she will be even more intolerant of others."
"In order to help her win the heart of the Second Master, Auntie took great pains to teach her. Now that she is pregnant with the Second Master's child as she wished, she has forgotten Auntie's kindness the moment she turns her head."
Aunt Chen smiled indifferently, "I was helping her because I was using her, but she was indeed a little too proud of herself. After this lesson, her arrogance should have subsided. I'll go check on her in a few days."
"Auntie, are you still going to see her?"
"Why not go when there is such a good opportunity?" Aunt Chen picked up her embroidery again and embroidered slowly. The smile on her lips showed her good mood. "If I go over now, she will be grateful to me. It will be a good opportunity for her to know who is the best person for her. She will trust me more in the future."
"Auntie, you have some good ideas." Mother Liu laughed.
The matter of Wan Xiaoniang was just a small episode. Dong Jiafu did not take it to heart, but instead devoted most of her energy to giving acupuncture to the old lady.
The one-month treatment period passed quickly. On this day, Dong Jiafu and Doctor Tan came to Duke Dingguo's Mansion together to see how the treatment was effective.
When the two arrived at Shou'an Courtyard, the four ladies were also there.
Seeing them, the eldest lady stood up and said, "Miss Dong and Doctor Tan have worked hard these days. We all came here to wait for the result today. I hope the result is good."
The fourth lady also said, "Yes, if mother's old illness can be completely cured, it will be a great joyous event for our family, and we must celebrate it well."
The old lady sat on the couch, her expression relatively calm. "Such a small matter is not worth celebrating in a big way. I don't know if it will heal or not."
Doctor Tan said nothing more, and stepped forward and said, "Let me feel the old man's pulse."
The old lady held out her hand.
When Doctor Tan was taking the old lady's pulse, everyone in the room held their breath, waiting for the result.
Doctor Tan withdrew his hand only after he had examined the patient carefully.
"What happened?" the eldest lady asked nervously.
Doctor Tan twisted his beard and nodded with a smile, "Judging from the pulse, the root of the disease should have been eradicated."
"Really?" The eldest lady was overjoyed.
"If the old lady's back disease does not recur next year, she will basically be fully recovered."
The third wife clasped her hands together happily and said, "Amitabha, God bless me, my mother will no longer have to suffer."
"Madam, you can finally enjoy your old age in peace..." Mother Qi's eyes were filled with tears of excitement.
The old lady also had a smile on her face. She never expected that her decades-long illness would be cured one day.
The eldest lady turned around and thanked them, "Miss Dong, Doctor Tan, thank you for curing the old lady's old illness. You have worked hard these days."
"Most of the credit here goes to Miss Dong," said Doctor Tan.
Dong Jiafu was happier than anyone else to be able to cure the old lady's back disease. When she first started learning medicine, she never thought that one day she would use her own hands to help so many people get rid of their illnesses.
"The master's recipe is the best. I just followed his instructions."
"Don't be so modest, both of you. You all have contributions to this matter." The eldest lady gestured to Mother Xu who was standing by the door.
Mother Xu took out two purses from her pocket and handed them to the eldest lady.
The eldest lady gave the purses to Dong Jiafu and Doctor Tan respectively, "This is our small token of gratitude to you two."
The purse felt heavy in his hand, and Doctor Tan wanted to push it back, "Madam gave me too much..."
"It's not much, not much. You must accept it. Compared to my mother's recovery from back disease, these are nothing."
The old lady said, "Keep it. This is what you deserve."
Doctor Tan and Dong Jiafu looked at each other, thanked her and put away the purse.
At this time, the second wife said, "I didn't expect Miss Dong to be so capable at such a young age. You really cured the old lady. If we have any discomfort in the future, can we ask you to see a doctor?"
"Second Madam, you are too kind," Dong Jiafu looked at her with a smile, "I can only treat some pains in the waist and legs, and I don't know anything else. I need to learn more from my master. If you are sick in the future, you can come to Hui'an Hall. My master and two senior brothers are all good doctors and can help you."
"Pooh, pooh, pooh, why don't you hope for me to get better, but instead curse me to be sick." The Second Lady raised her eyebrows.
Dong Jiafu looked innocent. "That's what you said, Madam. No one will never get sick in their whole life. If you are sick, you must not hide your illness and avoid seeing a doctor, lest a minor illness turn into a major one."
The second wife's face turned pale, "You..."
"Okay," the eldest lady wanted to laugh but couldn't. "What Miss Dong said is right. Second brother and sister-in-law should not just listen to nice things. Miss Dong's words are very pertinent. Let's not disturb mother's peace here. Let's go back and tell my husband and children this good news."
