The Fallen Medicine Woman: The Daily Life of Chun Nuan-Chapter 438 - 260

"Aunt..."

Zhou Rong was crying in Mrs. Zhou’s embrace like falling pear blossoms.

"Good child, Aunt is here, Aunt is here."

No amount of comfort could help at this time, it was better to let her cry it out.

Mrs. Zhou stroked her head and said, "Aunt understands your feelings, don’t be afraid, Aunt is here. Your cousin-in-law is really skilled; she can cure many, many illnesses without a doubt."

"Aunt, you are really kind."

Ever since Zhou Rong gave birth to this trouble, she didn’t want to see anyone.

And indeed, they hadn’t come to see her.

Even her mother and elder sister hadn’t visited.

This made Zhou Rong even more upset.

Yes, her mother was only busy for her elder sister, who was about to get married.

Her mother didn’t care whether she would be able to marry.

Only Aunt genuinely cared for her!

Think of ways for her, comfort her, and give her advice.

Aunt’s consolation made her feel warm and at ease.

"Dear Rong’er, why don’t you come back to town with Aunt tonight to see your cousin-in-law?"

No time to delay; better to go today.

"Okay, I’ll listen to Aunt."

"That’s settled. I’ll have the maid bring you some food; you eat first. When Aunt finishes the banquet, I’ll take you back to town, alright?"

"Yes, I’ll do as Aunt says."

"That’s right, don’t be afraid; nothing is too difficult to overcome."

Mrs. Zhou left the courtyard, instructing the maid to prepare food for Zhou Rong.

"Madam Aunt, the young lady won’t eat."

The maid quickly said, "She smashed the food I brought half an hour ago."

"That was half an hour ago." Mrs. Zhou glanced at this maid, who really didn’t understand: "Now, your young lady wants to eat, hurry and prepare."

Why couldn’t she understand?

It seems these maids were poorly managed by Fourth Mistress; they were not very competent in serving people.

"Yes, Madam Aunt."

The maid felt somewhat resentful.

Just an Aunt, dreaming of taking charge of the Zhou family?

Mrs. Zhou looked at her; if this maid were in the Zhao family, she’d have been sent away long ago.

Managing the inner quarters indeed requires some tactics.

Of course, Mrs. Zhou understood not all inner quarters were as clean and pure as the Zhao family.

This Fourth Master had one wife and three concubines, with eight legitimate and illegitimate children; Fourth Mistress was struggling!

Mrs. Zhou saw Fourth Mistress still entertaining guests when she came out.

She didn’t have daughters; she couldn’t understand the hardships of marrying one off.

"Madam Aunt?"

"Fourth Mistress, I’ve instructed someone to send food to Rong’er."

"Rong’er is willing to eat?"

Fourth Mistress was surprised, "She’s willing to listen to you?"

"Yes, she’s willing to listen." Mrs. Zhou replied, "After I’ve eaten, I’ll take Rong’er back to the Zhao family and have the third daughter-in-law see how she should be treated."

"Oh, I’m really grateful to you, Aunt." Fourth Mistress was very thankful, "Or should I bring her tomorrow?"

"You have a lot on your plate tomorrow, the day after, and the following days. Rong’er is grown; she wants to come with me, so rest assured."

"This is truly..." Fourth Mistress was deeply grateful, "I must thank you properly later."

"Why be so formal between us sisters-in-law?"

The two shared a smile, the bond between them deep.

In Zhou Rong’s courtyard, the maid felt a little relieved seeing the young lady eating heartily.

Thinking, she’s finally hungry, finally knows she needs to eat!

People just don’t appreciate blessings!

Unlike us maids, dreaming of eating such good food, yet she throws it all away in anger.

Truly speechless.

Zhou Rong buried her head, eating heartily, then tears flowed down her face again.

There are many people at home, but how many understand her? How many care for her?

None as good as Aunt.

After the meal, Mrs. Zhou took her leave.

With a veil over her face, Zhou Rong followed her onto the carriage.

"Rong’er, when mother finishes her errands, she’ll come to fetch you."

"No need; focus on your tasks."

Zhou Rong didn’t expect her mother to do anything for her.

Now her mother was celebrating; her eldest daughter was getting married to an ideal husband, how could she remember her second daughter’s black spots and acne?

Mrs. Zhou took Zhou Rong back to the Zhao family, settling her in the guest courtyard, and called Chun Nuan over.

"It’s late; why did mother call me, her daughter-in-law, here?"

Mrs. Zhou wasn’t a harsh person; Chun Nuan didn’t need to pay respects day and night; she’d be summoned when needed.

"It’s like this..."

Mrs. Zhou explained Zhou Rong’s situation.

"I thought this child couldn’t continue like this, so I took the liberty to bring her back. I think you certainly have a way to treat her; no matter what, treat her slowly. Even if her face can’t be healed, her heart must be, so she can face these things calmly."

"Mother, I understand. This isn’t a serious illness; it can be treated."

"Can be treated? Really can be treated?"

Mrs. Zhou brought Zhou Rong out with only fifty percent hope. She didn’t expect Chun Nuan to say it could be treated without even seeing her.

That’s real skill!

"Yes, Mother, let’s go see this cousin."

Chun Nuan thought of how fifteen-year-old girls loved beauty, no wonder she wouldn’t want to go out and meet people. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Zhou Rong met the legendary female doctor, who turned out to be her cousin-in-law; she admired her greatly.

"Rong’er greets Aunt, greets Cousin-in-law."

"Good child, don’t be too formal." Mrs. Zhou helped her up, "Sit down, your cousin-in-law will take your pulse and examine you."

"Thank you, Cousin-in-law."

"It’s nothing." Chun Nuan looked at her face, "Can you take off the veil?"

"I’m afraid I’ll scare you, Cousin-in-law."

"Don’t worry, I’m a doctor; I’ve seen all kinds of things, and besides, it’s not your fault."

Hearing this, Zhou Rong’s tears gushed out again!

Yes, it wasn’t her fault; why did she have to grow these things?

"Let me take your pulse and diagnose you."

Zhou Rong obediently extended her hand for Chun Nuan to take her pulse.

Chun Nuan frowned slightly while taking the pulse; this was truly a first!

"Cousin-in-law, is Rong’er’s illness very difficult to treat?"

Otherwise, why would she frown?

"Not difficult, Cousin-in-law will give you some medicine, one for applying, and one for consuming." Chun Nuan said, "After taking several doses, you’ll gradually recover, and your complexion will return to its original state in less than three months."

"Really?"

"Of course, you must trust my medical skills." Chun Nuan smiled, "Don’t worry, this is not a serious illness."

In a doctor’s eyes, this wasn’t a serious illness, but in her eyes, the sky was falling.

Chun Nuan wrote a prescription, dried it, and handed it to Bai Zhi.

"Tomorrow, go to the pharmacy to get the medicine; remember, one is to be brewed for drinking, the other is for applying to the face." Chun Nuan instructed, "You must supervise the brewing and personally apply it to the cousin."
