Reborn As Divine Doctor to Rule the World

Chapter 67: Chapter 68: Would you be willing to treat powerful people?

After she removed the scented sachet, she indeed stopped having nightmares, and that sachet was personally sewn and given to her by her half-sister.

Shao He smiled and waved her hand. It was normal not to trust a doctor, after all, there were many quacks nowadays.

“Moreover, you must ensure sufficient rest and sleep, avoid strenuous exercise, guard against catching cold, and apply heat during periods if there is pain in the lower abdomen; you should also be mindful of your diet and avoid cold and spicy foods, focusing instead on light and warm meals,” Shao He recounted all the things she needed to pay attention to.

Liang Weishuang took note of each one and then cautiously asked, “Could we invite Doctor Shao to visit Liang Mansion to see if there is anything inappropriate in my courtyard?”

In the past, she had a good relationship with her half-sister who often gave her many things; now thinking about it all made her somewhat scared. After she realized her half-sister’s intentions, she threw away those things first thing but still felt uneasy, which is why she wanted Doctor Shao to have a look.

“Alright,” Shao He agreed without hesitation.

...

The two agreed on a time, and just as Liang Weishuang was about to rise to take her leave, she suddenly remembered the brocade box in the maid’s hand, ran out to fetch it, and placed it on the table, blushing as she spoke, “This is a small token of my appreciation. It’s not very valuable, but it’s my way of saying thanks.”

“Thank you,” Shao He saw the shy person smiling slightly at her. In fact, Liang Weishuang was not bad, just exploited by someone else.

After Liang Weishuang left, Shao He opened the brocade box and found inside a set of ornaments including a jade hairpin, a jade hairpin, and other items, all of which looked extremely precious, far from being as invaluable as she had said.

Shao He put away the brocade box and continued seeing other patients.

After Shao He had seen the last patient, she stood up to stretch her limbs.

Jhiang Yijia, supported by a maid, walked into the medical hall, took off her cloak, and handed it to the maid beside her.

She came before Shao He with a look of guilt and immediately apologized, “I’m sorry, Doctor Shao.”

Shao He was befuddled by her sudden apology and quickly reached out to help her up, asking, “Why are you suddenly saying this to me?”

Jhiang Yijia immediately explained, “I am aware of the incident last time. But I regret that I was of no help to you when you sought it.”

It was Doctor Shao who gave her a new lease on life, allowing her not to be ridiculed or despised by her in-laws, and even enabling her to have her own children.

Given her life-saver was in trouble, she naturally wanted to give her utmost. When she heard about the situation, she returned to her parents’ home to inquire, learned that her father truly couldn’t help, and she even asked Fang Jue if he could assist in any way, yet she saw Fang Jue shake his head. Since the Marquis personally ordered, they dared not act recklessly.

Shao He shook her head indifferently, “You also wanted to help but couldn’t. I understand.”

Seeing her say this, Jhiang Yijia’s eyes reddened and she choked up, “Thank you.”

“Don’t cry, your husband might see you in this state and think I’ve bullied you,” Shao He, knowing that pregnant women are particularly sensitive, joked.

Jhiang Yijia wiped the tears from her cheeks. She glared at her reproachfully, “Who would believe that, I wonder.”

Shao He touched her nose and laughed awkwardly.

Jhiang Yijia turned around, and a small maid took the pastries she had purchased from her hands and put them on the table.

“This is Ruyi Pavilion’s osmanthus cake, very sweet and fragrant. Try some,” Jhiang Yijia had developed a particular fondness for sweets since becoming pregnant. She had tried sweets from every shop in Capital City, but she especially loved this osmanthus cake from Ruyi Pavilion and had brought it specifically for Shao He to taste.

Shao He looked at the pastry, worrying it might be a bit difficult to swallow as such, so she turned to brew a pot of Longjing tea. The two of them ate pastries and drank tea while chatting about everyday things.

The sky outside was misty, and although it was not very cold, tiny snowflakes began to fall and passersby hurried on their way.

Seeing the snow outside, Shao He got up to close the windows and doors, fearing the cold might affect Jhiang Yijia.

She was pregnant, and if she caught a cold and couldn’t take medicine, she would suffer. @@novelbin@@

Jhiang Yijia, seeing her so meticulous and considerate, felt even more remorseful.

“I heard that Old Madam Chu and Chu Yu caused trouble recently. Are you alright? Did they treat you badly?”

Jhiang Yijia already knew about Chu Yu and Old Madam Chu hassling Shao He, as news of such incidents spread quickly in Capital City. She believed that this was just the beginning and that it would become increasingly difficult in the future.

“It’s alright; they just use their power and influence to intimidate us commoners, not daring to do anything too outrageous,” Shao He said.

Jhiang Yijia disagreed with this, “Never underestimate the power of Marquis’s Mansion. If he wanted to harm you, it would be as easy as lifting a finger. Although nothing substantial has happened now, the future is uncertain.”

Shao He understood all this all too well, but there was nothing she could do; if she had left this place, Chu Yu might have killed her by now.

Jhiang Yijia, seeing her troubled look, immediately suggested, “Would you consider treating people with power and influence?”

Shao He pondered for a moment. Previously, she had not wanted to be widely known, fearing her identity would be exposed, but now that her identity was already revealed, there was nothing left to hide.
