Lei Ying never imagined she would actually obtain the dicinal herbs.
Madam Lei hasn’t been looking well lately, struggling with sleepless nights, so Lei Ying took the initiative to "show her filial piety" by preparing so sleep-regulating pills for her.
"Are they effective?"
"Mother, please rest assured; the master taught this especially to the disciples. The master said that won will experience various issues at a certain age, which are quite normal," Lei Ying explained. "So people feel hot in the afternoon and sweat at night..."
The more Madam Lei listened, the more she felt the symptoms were spot on; she herself had been experiencing them.
However, after consulting Doctor Wang, he said everything was fine, advising only proper rest and worry-free living to ensure a good night’s sleep.
She, too, wanted to consult a doctor, but her husband was only a mid-rank official in the Capital, without connections to the Imperial Physicians, making it difficult to invite one.
This ti, Lei Ying ntioned that won’s common conditions were indeed illnesses, which only won suffer from.
This was completely different from what Doctor Wang had said.
"The master often treats the nobility in the palace. His great-grandfather and grandfather were both Imperial Physicians, and these ancestral prescriptions can cure such conditions," Lei Ying continued. "The master said, we won studying dicine is primarily to reduce the suffering from unique female illnesses, so he taught these prescriptions to us."
"What a benevolent master!"
Madam Lei was deeply moved.
"What herbs are needed, Nanny Rui? Quickly take the second miss to the small storeroom and take whatever is needed," Madam Lei suddenly said generously. "Your aunt is only two or three years younger than . She might have the sa condition; make so extra pills, so she can take them as well."
"Thank you, Madam."
Mrs. Ran was overwheld with emotion, never expecting to enjoy her daughter’s fortune. She had endured much hardship from the mistress over the years.
Of course, she wasn’t the only one the mistress tornted.
But she was the only one who, because of her daughter, garnered a bit of favor from Madam Lei.
Especially recently, Madam Lei no longer called upon her to serve her arbitrarily.
Sotis she would even specifically instruct her to sit down and rest.
Now, she was even included in making pills—a joy beyond asure.
Only Lei Ying understood that Madam Lei wanted her aunt to test the dicine.
But that didn’t matter; the pills were indeed effective.
It was a good opportunity to let her aunt try so too.
"Oh, Erya, your uncle is quite old now. He endured many hardships during his tenure and developed chronic leg pain. Ask the master if there’s any redy."
"Yes, Mother, I will ask the master tomorrow," Lei Ying said, feeling particularly joyful. Ever since the master arrived, her good fortune seed to have followed—whatever she desired ca true, as if pillows appeared when she wanted to sleep.
She already knew the redy for chronic leg pain; it was just lacking the necessary herbs, but now wasn’t the opportunity?
The next day, Lei Ying discussed with Zhong Xiuxiu, and the two young ladies felt secretly delighted.
"I’ve learned too. Ever since joining the academy and becoming a disciple of the master, many things have beco smoother, and no one in the residence dares to take lightly," Xiuxiu remarked with emotion on her card. "The master’s establishnt of this academy is truly virtuous. We are so thankful to him."
Zhong Xiuxiu and Lei Ying did not realize that their conversation was overheard by Chun Nuan.
She rely smiled silently.
These young ladies would never know that the thanks were actually for themselves.
In one’s life, seizing the opportunity to change fate even once is enough.
They were not the only concubines in the Capital—there were many. Those who led good lives certainly relied on luck and cleverness.
And these two, they climbed out of the pit through sheer effort; their future would not be too dim.
Lei Ying returned to the residence and inford Madam Lei that she had obtained the prescription, allowing her to choose herbs from the small storeroom once again.
She matched the prescription list, finding so items like scutellaria and knotweed, but still missing a few.
"Buy what’s missing," said Madam Lei.
Lei Ying promptly wrote down the prescription.
"Erya is becoming more promising; her writing is beautiful too."
"It’s all thanks to Mother’s good guidance," Lei Ying realized under Zhong Xiuxiu’s tutelage, knowing how to praise her birth mother grandly through many words: "Not many concubines have attended classes, unlike us who had a master teaching us from a young age. Mother even specially invited a female teacher to teach us, otherwise, we couldn’t even write our nas without making a fool of ourselves, let alone study dicine at the academy."
Madam Lei enjoyed hearing this.
"Erya is becoming better at speaking, truly more obedient."
Madam Lei now saw Lei Ying as pleasing in every aspect, and every word spoken brought her joy.
Lei Ying took the dicinal herbs and first crafted energy and blood supplent pills, starting by letting her aunt try them.
