Old Madam Sang widened her eyes, “How could it be…”
Xu Aoqing also wore a face of disbelief.
While they both were in shock, Su Yingxue briefly summarized the situation to help them understand her intentions.
Xu Aoqing’s expression changed several times, first shocked, then angrily cursed, “Simply heartless! To be willing to do such ruthless things to one’s own family! You’re the Su family’s lady, her niece, how can she do this!”
Xu Aoqing clutched her aching chest and coughed heavily, spitting out two mouthfuls of blood.
Su Yingxue quickly approached, pressing on her pulse and then stuffing a piece of mint grass into her mouth.
The mint grass was fresh and pleasant, making Xu Aoqing’s breath less turbid. She took a few breaths, her breathing became smooth, and her complexion also improved significantly.
During this process, Su Yingxue had already felt her pulse.
Xu Aoqing’s illness was indeed difficult to treat. If this continued, she would die within two years.
“Miss Su, do you think our madam can still be treated? Please save our madam! Madam is pitiful!”
Old Madam Sang immediately knelt. She kowtowed to Su Yingxue and cried continuously, evoking sympathy.
Su Yingxue instructed, “Miaoyan, help Old Madam Sang up.”
Su Miaoyan quickly helped Old Madam Sang up and said, “Old Madam Sang, don’t kneel to my sister. Sister treats people with kindness. She doesn’t expect such gestures from you. It’s too much, and Sister will feel uncomfortable!”
Old Madam Sang quickly stopped crying, still in disbelief. “Is that so?”
Su Yingxue gave her an appreciative look.
Su Miaoyan’s knew her well!
Su Miaoyan and Su Yingxue cooperated well. Su Yingxue diagnosed the illness, performed acupuncture, and prescribed medicine seamlessly.
When she got up to prepare medicine for Xu Aoqing, she also took down the heavy curtains in the room.
Old Madam Sang was shocked, “This… Miss Su, the doctor said the curtains must be properly hung! They said madam’s consumption can’t be exposed to the wind. Otherwise, her condition will worsen! She won’t recover!”
“Which doctor said such nonsense? Your madam’s illness requires daily ventilation by opening the window and coughing into the wind. This helps to expel the stagnant air from her lungs and bring in fresh air.”
Su Yingxue threw the gauze curtain aside and let Su Miaoyan watch. She went to a secluded spot in the courtyard and entered Medicine King Valley.
Old Madam Sang watched as the curtain was pulled down. The wind blew in through the window, causing Xu Aoqing to start coughing!
She stood anxiously by Xu Aoqing’s bed, spinning around, “This… What should we do? Madam, you’ve exposed yourself to the wind. Will your condition worsen?”
Xu Aoqing, who hadn’t breathed fresh air for a long time, regained her spirit.
She looked longingly at the sky outside the window and reached out to catch a gust of wind.
It was refreshing and cool.
There was also a faint floral fragrance. It was really pleasant to smell!
This wind was what she had longed for for a long time.
She was coughing because of the wind, but her face was much rosier.
When Su Yingxue came in with the medicine, Xu Aoqing’s eldest son came to visit her.
Ye Lingbai saw a stranger in his mother’s yard and subconsciously became alert. “Who are you?”
Su Yingxue was holding the medicine in her hand. She turned around abruptly and saw the handsome Ye Lingbai. She immediately replied, “I’m Su Yingxue. I’m a doctor here to treat madam.”
