Chapter 654 Swindled a dicine Bottle with a Familiar Sll
Coming out of the desolate courtyard, Doctor Qiu picked up the dicine chest in her hand and carried it behind his back, and strode out.
He was the chief physician of Miss Wang, who specialized in pulse diagnosis and acupuncture. He always left at this ti before. When he ca out of the yard, he shook his head, because Miss Wang’s condition was really terrible.
He turned a corner and was about to take another path when a servant girl hurried over with a plate of fruit. Because she walked too fast, the two of them bumped into each other.
Doctor Qiu was knocked to take two steps back and almost fell down. However, the servant girl who ca from the opposite fell even harder and directly fell to the ground. She covered her face and scread, “Ouch!” Maybe it was because she hit her face or lips when she fell down.
“Are you okay?” It was inappropriate for Doctor Qiu to leave directly, so he ca over and asked.
“You... why don’t you look at the road... Ouch, my... my face is swollen!” The servant girl supported herself with one hand on the ground and slowly sat on the ground. Even though only half of her face was exposed, she still looked at Doctor Qiu unkindly.
As a doctor, Doctor Qiu had a better temper than ordinary people. Seeing that the servant girl had had a bad fall, he squatted down, stretched out his hand to feel her pulse, and said, “Let see if you have been hurt!”
Perhaps the servant girl was also shocked because of the bad fall. Seeing that he reached out to feel her pulse, she did not dare to say anything else. She stretched out her hand and allowed him to feel her pulse carefully.
“Miss, don’t worry. It’s not a big deal!” After a while, Doctor Qiu opened his eyes and said.
“How can it not be a big deal? My face is swollen!” The servant girl was so angry that she almost cried. She stared at Doctor Qiu and said.
Seeing her acting like this, Doctor Qiu also felt that he was in the wrong. After all, she was just a young girl, so he couldn’t haggle over every ounce with her. He put down his dicine chest, opened it, took out a bottle of ointnt, and handed it to the servant girl, “This can relieve the swelling. Your face will recover after you apply the ointnt on it for three days.”
The servant girl’s pulse was normal just now and there was nothing wrong with it. Although she covered her face with her hand, there was no trace of blood on her face, so her skin should not have been broken. Her voice was also clear. Therefore, all these factors considered, her face was just swollen because of the fall. It was not a big deal.
“Can it really work?” The servant girl looked at Doctor Qiu in disbelief.
“Of course it can... you can apply it after you go back...” Doctor Qiu closed the lid of the dicine box, stood up, and said.
“If it doesn’t work, where can I find you?” The servant girl grabbed Doctor Qiu’s robe with her hand as if she wouldn’t let him go until he told her the truth.
Doctor Qiu had no choice but to say, “I’m in your mansion to treat Miss Wang. If there’s anything wrong with you, you can co to directly. I’ll definitely cure your wound.”
“Really?” The servant girl covered half of her face and raised her head to look at Doctor Qiu with a look of disbelief.
“Of course. How can I lie to you?” Doctor Qiu also had a temper, especially when soone suspected him. He reached out to pull his robe, but it was pulled so tightly that he couldn’t pull it out.
“No, if you don’t leave so evidence for , it won’t be clear at that ti!” The servant girl held his robe tightly as if Doctor Qiu couldn’t leave without giving her sothing as prove.
Doctor Qiu tried a few tis, but he found that he really couldn’t pull his robe out. This servant girl looked thin and small but had great strength.
“Okay, okay, let see if I can leave you sothing as proof!” Doctor Qiu said helplessly.
It was really inappropriate for them to pull like this. Later, people might not bla the little servant girl for being ignorant. On the contrary, they would say that he was really impolite to argue with such a little servant girl since he was quite old.
He reached into his pocket in his arms but found nothing for a mont.
“I saw a beautiful dicine bottle in your dicine chest just now. Just give that one!” The servant girl ca up with an idea for him.
“Let see which one it is!” Doctor Qiu reluctantly opened the dicine chest again. As expected, there was an empty bottle on the top floor. He took it out and handed it to the servant girl, “Okay, you can take this first. This bottle is mine. I just used it up and there is still a label on it. Now you can let go!”
“All right!” The servant girl took over the dicine bottle. This ti, she freely agreed and loosened her grip on his robe.
When Doctor Qiu saw that the girl had finally let go of her hand, he covered his dicine chest, carried it on his back, and turned to leave. He did not want to be entangled in a matter with such a little servant girl here.
It had been almost three years since he arrived at Duke Xing’s Mansion. The rules in aristocratic families were very strict. Even if she was just a little servant girl, she might cause so trouble at that ti.
After he succeeded, he could leave and never co to the capital city again!
Seeing that Doctor Qiu left quickly as if he tried to escape sothing, Yujie struggled to stand up with her hands on her waist. She touched her unscathed face and turned back to the Piaoyun Courtyard. She had deliberately co to bump into Doctor Qiu. When the dicine box was opened just now, she had seen clearly that there was a set of needles used for acupuncture inside, but this set seed to be different from what she saw at Shao Wanru’s place.
Every doctor’s acupuncture needles were not necessarily the sa. But even so, it could be seen that that was indeed a set of acupuncture needles.
Doctor Qiu was also skilled in the way of feeling the pulse just now, and he could also tell that she was fine. It could be seen that Doctor Qiu was a real doctor, not a fake one.
The ointnt he gave was not bad. Yujie also knew so dical skills. In the past, as a dicine apprentice, she had often ground dicine for Mingqiu Nun. She was also proficient in dicine. As soon as she slled it, she could tell what was in the ointnt. So good materials had been used in it.
If her face was really swollen from the fall, she could really recover after applying it for three days.
As for the empty dicine bottle that she had swindled from his dicine chest just now, Yujie put it by her nose and sniffed it. But this ti, she could not tell what it was, which really surprised her. So she put it near her nose and sniffed it again.
But she still failed to tell.
Helplessly, she packed up the dicine bottle, picked up the fruit from the ground and put it on the plate, and then carried it back to the Piaoyun Courtyard.
In Piaoyun Courtyard, Qu Le was choosing clothes for Shao Wanru to enter the palace. The clothes couldn’t be too gorgeous, because her current situation was not suitable. But if she wore too plain, it seed to be disrespectful to Consort Shu.
In fact, Shao Wanru did not bring many clothes with her, not to ntion in Duke Xing’s Mansion. Rui’an Great Elder Princess would make a few suitable clothes for Shao Wanru, but Duke Xing’s Mansion had never done this before. At this ti, she only had a few extrely simple clothes and there was no suitable one to wear. Looking at the plain white clothes on the bed, Qu Le was very worried.
Miss had no suitable clothes to wear. What could she do?
“Miss, let go to Great Elder Princess’s Mansion. There are always so clothes in Great Elder Princess’ Mansion that are prepared for you!” Qu Le suggested.
Even a clever housewife cannot cook a al without rice. Old Madam only asked Miss to enter the imperial palace in such a hurry, but she didn’t prepare clothes for Miss at all. She went too far!
This grandmother didn’t take it seriously, and also had bad intentions. In the past, although Old Madam Qin was not the biological grandmother of Miss, she had also doted on Miss. This was the real grandmother of Miss, but she behaved like this. She not only took away the gift from Miss, which was awarded by Empress Dowager but also ignored everything about Miss.
She was even colder than strangers.
“Just that one!” Shao Wanru was very relaxed. Anyway, she had no idea about being close to this Old Madam. She tilted her head, pointed at a set of clothes, and said.
There was nothing special about this set of clothes, but fortunately, it was new. One could tell at first glance that it was made of good cloth.
“Miss, this one is really plain. It may not be a good choice!” Qu Le shook the clothes in her hands with a bitter face.
“Everyone knows that I’m in seclusion, but Consort Shu seemingly pretends not to know and insists on eting . Since she wants to see , why should I stoop to compromise?” Shao Wanru said with an ambiguous look.
Whatever she wore, the one who hated her could always find fault with her. Since Consort Shu did not co with good intentions, she would not show kindness to her tomorrow. Then, Shao Wanru would be scolded for whatever she wore. So she might as well wear her own clothes. At least, she had justifiable reasons to do so. After all, it was not she who asked to et Consort Shu.
“Miss, this... isn’t a good idea...” Qu Le still didn’t think it was appropriate. That was the imperial palace, not an ordinary mansion.
“So what? If you really think it’s too plain, I can also wear that purple bamboo hairpin tomorrow. After all, it is a purple one, and this color can pop out!” Shao Wanru casually flipped through the dical book in her hand and lowered her head casually.
“This...” Qu Le stamred and did not know what to say.
Although the color could pop out a little, to be honest, this kind of hairpin was almost as common as bamboos on the side of the road. Was it really good?
This was even worse than silver hairpins!
“Yes, it is settled. You can choose a pair of pearl earrings but not too eye-catching. And find a sachet, light blue or light yellow. At least, I change the color in other places. It’s also a kind of respect for Consort Shu. Just use this set of clothes!” Shao Wanru made a decision.
“Yes, Miss!” Qu Le said helplessly with a sigh.
“Miss, please sll this dicine. Can you sll what kind of dicine it is? I can’t get it!” Yujie happened to co in at this ti. After lifting the curtain and coming in, she handed the empty dicine bottle to Shao Wanru and reported, “Miss, this Doctor Qiu is definitely a real doctor. He seems to be very good at dicine. I don’t know if he knows that he is having guilty deeds.”
Wang Yishu had always been sick, so it must have sothing to do with this Doctor Qiu. As a doctor, how could he have such a vicious heart? Yujie was very angry. This was the most despised behavior for her, who was once the dicine apprentice of Mingqiu Nun.
A doctor didn’t save people but even dared to gang up with others to hurt people. It was unforgivable!
Shao Wanru put down the book, took the bottle, and sniffed it. For a mont, she did not sll anything, so she put it on her nose and sniffed it hard. She frowned slightly. She really couldn’t sll what it was, but sohow she felt it was familiar.
Familiar?
There was a trace of gloom in her watery eyes. She was really familiar with the sll. Had she slled it when staying in Jiangzhou, or...
She sniffed it again and began to think about it carefully. When and where had she slled this kind of dicine? In this life, she had slled a lot of her commonly used dicine, but it was obviously not a commonly used dicine. So what was it?
Not commonly used one, so in her last life?
Sothing suddenly flashed through her mind like a flash of lightning. She was so shocked that her eyes widened and her hands trembled slightly. She seed to think of sothing...
