The wife of Ning Wang also came from a prominent family.
Her father was one of the tutors of the Imperial Academy, and her several elder brothers also served in the court. So although the Ning Wang Mansion was now in decline, the Ning Wang’s wife still lived a life of luxury.
It could be said that she had never suffered such humiliation since she was born!
But now, the so-called miracle doctor actually asked her to kowtow three times and nine prostrations to get the medicine? If this wasn’t a deliberate humiliation, what was it? Not to mention, it was rumored that the miracle doctor was just a teenager. He asked her to kowtow to a boy who was only as old as her son? It was ridiculous!
Also, why could the untouchables in Yong’an Temple have a bowl of porridge for free, and some dignitaries in the capital could buy a packet of medicine for only ten taels of silver, but when it came to her, she was treated so hard?
Could it be that the young genius doctor was an enemy of Ning Wang’s Mansion? Or was he friendly with her enemy?
Who could it be? However, Lady Ning couldn’t guess who it was for a while.
The wives of the high officials in the capital had their own circle. If she got along well with a few of them, she would inevitably become enemies with others. There were many people who disliked her, and there were countless people who seemed to be as close to her as sisters on the surface, but who might stab her in the back at any time.
Therefore, how could she find any clues about who the young miracle doctor was?
Lady Ning was so angry that she was shaking all over but looking at Lu Wenxiu’s increasingly ugly face on the hospital bed, she gritted her teeth and finally decided with a humiliated look… to do as she was told.
She sternly ordered all the servants and scholars to keep their mouths shut and never let this matter get out. If anyone heard any rumors about this matter outside, she would cut off their mouths when they came back!
At this time, Lady Ning no longer cared about her gentle and generous image. She angrily drove everyone out and ordered two maids to prepare for her.
However, even though the matter had not yet spread outside the Ning Wang Mansion, everyone inside the mansion knew about it.
The servants were talking about it a lot, and those who had been treated harshly by Lady Ning on a daily basis felt a little gloating.
The old lady was recuperating in Mei’an Garden, and the master had not returned since he was sent to the poor and remote Liuzhou. So no one dared to let the news reach their ears.
When Lu Yu’an came back from the Imperial Academy and heard about this, his face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he quickly stood up to stop the wife of Ning Wang. It was a small matter that his second brother was seriously ill, but if such a shameful thing was spread out of Ning Wang’s mansion, where would his mother’s face be put?!
The Ning Wang’s Mansion had become a mess.
Although Lu Huan didn’t know why that person asked him to save Lu Wenxiu, he knew that person must have his own purpose in doing things. Saving Lu Wenxiu was not a big deal for him. What’s more, he was also thinking about the hunting trip in Qiuyan Mountain in five days. If there was a funeral in Ning Wang’s Mansion suddenly, he would definitely not be able to go.
Therefore, after a little thought, he asked Changgong Wu to take a bag of medicine, go to the woods, and hang the medicine on the treetops.
The wife of Ning Wang put on a very inconspicuous black cloak, and followed only by her trusted nanny, set off from the most remote road. In advance, she asked the guards in Ning Wang’s mansion to clear out any possible civilians on the road to prevent anyone from seeing her extremely shameful scene.
She had to kneel down every few steps on the muddy path. Her knees were frozen purple by the cold snow and bleeding from the hard ground.
After walking only a dozen steps, her pampered body could no longer bear it.
…But she was afraid that the miracle doctor was watching her from not far away. And if she didn’t do as he asked, she would not be able to get the medicine back.
Therefore, Lady Ning gritted her teeth and moved forward step by step.
She was also worried that someone might appear on this road. Even though she had sent guards from the palace to guard nearby, she still wanted to hide in the cave for fear of being seen.
With rage burning in her heart, Lady Ning half walked and half knelt, and it took her several hours to finally reach the woods mentioned in the painting.
When she arrived, her hair was disheveled and her cloak was dirty. She looked like a village woman, and she did not look like the usually scheming and noble Lady of Ning Wang.
….
Lady Ning went to get the medicine, but Lu Huan was not interested in witnessing her miserable state, so he went to take care of his own business.
But Su Xi outside the screen used the last points to unlock the path in the woods. She watched the show while eating popcorn. She saw the wife of Ning Wang kneeling on her knees until she turned pale and thus almost fell into a ditch. She then screamed for the nanny to pull her out quickly. She couldn’t help laughing.
Su Xi felt so happy in her heart, she finally got rid of her anger for her son! The whip wounds on her son’s body had not been healed by the wife of Ning Wang yet!
She and the cub kept their promises. After Lady Ning Wang arrived at the woods after much difficulty, she let her find the package of medicine.
The woods were deserted.
Lady Ning was accompanied by guards. She was originally angry and thought that if the young genius doctor was waiting in the woods, he would definitely not escape her grasp! But she didn’t expect that there were only the medicine but no person in the woods.
Lady Ning had expected that after playing such a trick on Ning’s Mansion, he would naturally not let her find out who he was easily. However, she suffered such a great humiliation but could not retaliate. It was like a fist hit into cotton, and she felt a sense of resentment in her heart that could not be relieved.
She was so furious that she immediately asked the sedan chair that had been waiting for her for a long time to roll out and return home quickly.
… “This vengeance must be avenged.” She was helped onto the sedan chair. She clenched the medicine packet in humiliation and said with gritted teeth.
….
After taking the medicine back, Lady Ning asked the palace doctor to take a look at it, and he confirmed that it was a medicine for colds. Her anger then turned slightly into joy, and she quickly asked the servants to boil it and feed it to Lu Wenxiu.
The medicine was very bitter, and Lu Wenxiu almost vomited it out while still unconscious.
The veins at Ning Wang’s wife’s temples were throbbing, and she was afraid that he would waste a drop of the medicine she had obtained with so much difficulty, so she cooperated with the servants to pinch his neck and force the medicine into his mouth.
After taking the medicine, Lu Wenxiu’s terminal cold symptoms were relieved the next day… However, after drinking the medicine, for some reason, although his cold symptoms gradually improved, he began to have diarrhea continuously, which lasted for three days and he had to go to the toilet constantly.
In addition, his illness lasted too long and so his body had become very weak.
He barely took a few steps and had to catch his breath, like a complete loser.
Later, the imperial physician came to see him and said that he might not be able to get out of bed for the next six months and would have to recuperate slowly.
When Lady Ning heard this, her face turned pale. All these things combined made her look like she had aged ten years.
….
Of course, this was just an afterthought.
