After Becoming the Villain Mother-in-Law, I Launch My Redemption Arc Chapter 44: An Unpleasant Meeting

ng Yao softly asked a few more questions, and the embarrassnt faded from the woman’s face, "Doctor, you must help , if this continues, I’ll surely be divorced! I’ve drunk so much talismanic water and still haven’t improved, my mother-in-law scolds for being unclean."

As she spoke, the woman began to sob softly.

"Don’t worry, this is not so incurable disease, after three doses of dicine, I guarantee you’ll be fine." ng Yao reassuringly comforted the woman with ease.

It’s rely a common ailnt among won; the Wan Dai Tang should suffice.

Zhao Xiaohua quickly wrote out the prescription, prepared the dicine, instructed the woman on dietary restrictions, saw her out, and then called in the next patient.

...

By the afternoon, ng Yao had already treated twenty patients as agreed; the mother and daughter changed their attire in the back courtyard and left through the back door.

Those who didn’t make it in line would have to wait until the next market day.

"Is that female doctor really so miraculous?"

"Of course, before my wife and I couldn’t have children, we decided to give it a try, and would you believe it?" said the speaker with a proud look, "Yesterday at the Hundred Herbs Hall, my wife was diagnosed with a pregnancy pulse!"

Childbearing was always a matter of great concern, and with this person affirming ng Yao’s abilities, many harbored the thought of bringing their wives to see this female doctor.

This spread word of mouth, and ng Yao gained the reputation of a "Goddess of Childbearing."

Of course, ng Yao was unaware of this.

After so simple shopping, the mother and daughter boarded Uncle Niu’s ox cart.

Upon returning ho, ng Yao and Zhao Xiaohua each organized their dical cases.

In ancient tis, a significant reason for the short lifespan of impoverished won was various gynecological diseases.

There was nothing else for it; symptoms related to the most private parts could hardly be voiced before male doctors. Minor ailnts dragged on and on, eventually turning into incurable diseases.

In Zhou Country, although won’s status wasn’t considered low, female doctors were still extrely rare.

Those who mastered dicine mostly served the nobility and the wealthy.

Thus, ng Yao willingly beca a gynecologist.

As for how she ca to know the owner of the Hundred Herbs Hall and collaborate with them, it was a chance encounter, yet not a re coincidence.

The owner of the Hundred Herbs Hall, Lu Luoxing, found her through the Hundred Embroidery House.

Lu Luoxing had bought the fan set of the "Twelve Beauties of Jinling," so she used her connections to et with ng Yao once.

Thereafter, ng Yao learned about the history of Hundred Herbs Hall and its founding predecessor.

A hundred years ago, the predecessor Luo Wanqing established the Hundred Herbs Hall.

Later, Luo Wanqing married Lu Chen, and thereafter, every leader of the Hundred Herbs Hall had to be nad Lu Luo-sothing, also to commorate Luo Wanqing.

As to why Lu Luoxing sought ng Yao because of the "Twelve Beauties of Jinling,"

It was because in the ancestral teachings of the Lu Family, the life of the extraordinary woman Luo Wanqing was recorded. Among these, it was detailed that Luo Wanqing brought items like the "Dream of the Red Chamber," which were not to be transmitted outside the Lu Family.

Including the fact that she ca from the future.

Before Luo Wanqing passed, she said if Lu Family descendants were fated to et soone from the future whose character was sound, they should befriend them. Things like the "Dream of the Red Chamber" naturally beca crucial identifiers.

Afterward, Lu Luoxing hired ng Yao; ng Yao visited the Hundred Herbs Hall for consultations every five days.

"Mother, Second Brother will be back today, should I go to Butcher Zhang’s house to get so pork belly?" Zhao Xiaohua excitedly asked ng Yao after writing her dical case.

She wanted to eat the pork belly her mother cooked.

"Alright," ng Yao nodded.

Pork belly, though greasy, if not often eaten or consud in excess, won’t cause obesity.

Moreover, Zhao Xiaohua had developed very good habits, eating three als a day, rarely snacking, and always practicing the wall-standing exercise.

It’s the growth phase, and ng Yao thought, even eating a bit more now would not make her gain weight as easily as before.

Clutching a purse, Zhao Xiaohua happily ran towards Butcher Zhang’s house.

ng Yao quickly finished her dical case and began to prepare the seasonings for the braised pork.

After the seasonings were ready for quite a while, Zhao Xiaohua and the at had not returned.

Considering the ti, it should have sufficed to run back and forth between ho and Butcher Zhang’s place twice over.

Feeling uneasy, ng Yao removed her apron and prepared to go find her.

As it turned out, she encountered Zhao Xiaohua and Han Muchi by the riverbank.

Han Muchi’s face was blue-white from the cold, he looked scruffy, and was stubbornly holding onto Zhao Xiaohua’s sleeve.

They had indeed t!

Upon getting closer, ng Yao finally understood what had happened.

The filial Han Muchi, trying to catch fish for his mother in the dead of winter, sohow ended up falling into the river.

He was rescued by a passerby but had already lost consciousness.

Zhao Xiaohua happened to pass by; saving a life is worth more than building a seven-story pagoda.

ng Yao’s earnest teachings ensured that Zhao Xiaohua couldn’t stand by and do nothing.

The thod she used to save him was the ergency resuscitation technique taught by ng Yao, cardiopulmonary resuscitation combined with artificial respiration.

In front of witnesses, Han Muchi, who was beyond saving, miraculously ca back to life.

Then, he stubbornly refused to let Zhao Xiaohua go, insisting on taking her ho to show his gratitude.

Had they t under normal circumstances, Zhao Xiaohua might have been lost in the handso features of Han Muchi.

But in these unusual circumstances—

When Zhao Xiaohua saw him, he’d just been pulled from the water, his hair was in disarray, his face was blue, lips pale—hardly any charm at all.

Now he was holding onto her, delaying Zhao Xiaohua’s errand to buy at.

Irritation was already apparent on Zhao Xiaohua’s face.

"Young Master Han is a scholar, doesn’t he know that n and won should not sit together after the age of seven, and that n and won should remain distant?" ng Yao accused with a stern face.

Han Muchi hesitated, releasing his grip.

Zhao Xiaohua seized the opportunity to escape, running off quickly, "Mother, wait at ho, I’ll be back soon to explain everything."

Han Muchi stared blankly as Zhao Xiaohua ran off, ng Yao slightly curled her lips; their first eting wasn’t all that pleasant.

ng Yao ignored Han Muchi and turned to walk ho.

Han Muchi wanted to follow but was interrupted by Madam Han rushing over, stumbling.

Soone had inford Madam Han about Han Muchi falling into the water.

"Oh, my child! Are you alright? You scared to death!" Madam Han cried, hurriedly draping a coat over Han Muchi, and soon a group of servants escorted Han Muchi and the others away.

Zhao Xiaohua returned with the pork belly, "It’s the best three-layer pork belly with skin attached, Butcher Zhang specially selected the best part for us."

Zhao Xiaohua blinked, "Mother, every ti we go to buy at, we always get the best pieces. Don’t tell you don’t know why!"

With a calm face, ng Yao replied, "Did you give enough of the silver coin?"

"Of course I did, every instruction you gave , how dare I not follow?" Zhao Xiaohua giggled.

Butcher Zhang had taken a liking to her mother.

Whenever they went to get at, they’d either receive more or the best cuts.

At first, her mother had not caught on, even praising Butcher Zhang for his kind heart and saying that she had great luck. After she did catch on, she never went to Butcher Zhang’s herself anymore. Her mother said love debts were the hardest to repay, and thus, they should not be incurred lightly.
