Xiumei clenched her fists, “I really want to meet and punch her a few times! Why is she coming here to admit her mistake now? Why not before!”

“Meimei, do you know what it means to fight poison with poison?” Wei Ruo smiled wryly.

“Miss use this term when making medicines, because some herbs are highly toxic and can be neutralized with another medicine that has a different toxicity.” Xiumei replied.

“Today I’ll show you another way to fight poison with poison, “Wei Ruo instructed Xiumei.” Go out and tell me that I’m sick, my chest hurts, my head hurts, especially when I hear noisy voices. So I need to call a doctor, otherwise I may not be able to see Mrs. Yuan tomorrow.”

Xiumei immediately did as she was told. She opened the door, ignored Wei Qingwan who was kneeling in the doorway, went directly to find Mo mo Zhang and told her about Wei Ruo’s situation.

Mo mo Zhang naturally reports to Yun Shi first.

When Yun Shi heard that Wei Ruo was sick, she didn’t believe it and said, “She was fine when she was angry with me before. How come she’s sick all of a sudden?”

Mo mo Zhang could only reply, “This servant doesn’t know much about this. But this servant heard that if people get angry, they will get an acute illness. This servant wonders if this is the case with the eldest young lady.”

Yun Shi frowned and said, “Then hurry up and get a doctor to check on the young lady. If she is really sick, don’t delay.”

“Yes!” Mo mo Zhang answered and went out, and in a short while, she brought a doctor.

Upon learning that a doctor had been hired for Wei Ruo, Wei Qingwan stopped kneeling at Wei Ruo’s doorstep and instead went to Yun Shi’s place. She asked with suspicion, “Mother, is sister really sick?”

“We’ll know after the doctor diagnoses.” Yun Shi said.

After waiting for a while, the doctor diagnosed Wei Ruo’s pulse and went to report to Yun Shi:

“Madam, the eldest young lady is anxious and angry, depressed, and has inflammation in the liver. Her qi and blood are also not flowing smoothly. I will write a prescription for the eldest young lady, and she needs to take two patches a day for five consecutive days. During this period, she must not get angry again. She also needs to rest quietly, otherwise her condition will worsen and it will be troublesome.”

Hearing this, Wei Qingwan felt that Wei Ruo was lying, so she said, “That’s what my sister said. She has always been in good health, so how could she…”

The doctor’s expression became even more serious upon hearing these words: “Miss, I have been practicing medicine for many years and have never made a misdiagnosis or mistake. My Baoshan Hall is well-known in Taizhou Prefecture! If you doubt my words, then I have nothing to say! You should find another doctor!”

-Baoshan Hall/Baoshantang plagues. Plaques are hung on door screens or central halls for decoration, reflecting the name and nature of the building and expressing people’s principles and emotions. This plaque is inscribed with “Baoshantang”. “Bao” means wealth and represents material abundance; “Shan” means morality and refers to noble spirit. “Baoshantang” expresses the ancient people’s pursuit of the dual realm of spiritual and material. 

No one expected the doctor to be so angry. Hearing this, Yun Shi said hurriedly, “Doctor, don’t be angry. I am just a little surprised, and I don’t mean to question your medical skills.”

The doctor said, “Madam, in short, the eldest young lady’s illness is not fake. If not handled properly, her health will only deteriorate, and she may not even be able to leave the house if her health worsened.”

Upon hearing this, Yun Shi quickly instructed Mo mo Zhang to accompany the doctor to fetch medicine for Wei Ruo.

Then she had her maid Cuiping call Wei Qingwan over.

“Don’t seek your sister anymore, avoid your sister for a few days. She’s sick and needs to recuperate, so if there’s anything, wait until she’s well.”

Yun Shi’s words surprised Wei Qingwan greatly. Did Wei Qingruo really get sick?

What should she do now? She couldn’t apologize to Wei Qingruo for the time being, and she couldn’t use Wei Qingruo to plead for Mrs. Yuan. Then her reputation…

Wei Qingwan was unwilling, but looking at Yun Shi’s expression, she knew that there was no room for maneuver in this matter.

Wei Ruo is very important to the Wei family now. Not only will she meet Mrs. Yuan tomorrow, but she will also report to the Seventh Prince and County Head Magistrate Qian about farming in the wasteland south of the city in a few days. If she really falls ill, it will be very disadvantageous to the Wei family.
