The road to wealth of a peasant widow

Chapter 246 Getting better

No matter what the reason for the princess's visit, the Liu family must make adequate preparations to entertain her.

In addition to Chen Cui and Qin Ruozhi, Suisui also has to stay at home to prepare for entertaining guests. Although she is a few years younger than the princess, she is the only unmarried girl in the family and should have more in common with the princess.

Taking into account that the princess grew up in the deep palace and has been taking medicine all year round, her diet must be very light, and she probably doesn't drink tea for fear of it conflicting with the medicine, so the drinks and snacks for the reception need to be prepared with great care.

Chen Cui and Qin Ruozhi, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, discussed the reception process and gave instructions to the kitchen. They were half relieved. As for the other half, they had to wait until they met the princess and understood her purpose!

Shortly after breakfast the next day, Princess Fuyou arrived as promised.

Chen Cui, Qin Ruozhi and Sui Sui all bowed to the princess before they took their seats as host and guest.

The first time Chen Cui saw the girl, she was shocked: Isn’t this Lin Daiyu who walked out of the painting!

As the saying goes: two curved eyebrows that seem to be frowning but not frowning, a pair of eyes that seem to be happy but not happy. The expression on her face shows the sorrow, and the delicate body shows the illness. There are tears in her eyes, and she breathes softly. When she is quiet, she is like a beautiful flower reflecting on the water, and when she moves, she is like a weak willow swaying in the wind.

It is no exaggeration to say that these are all portrayals of the image of Princess Fuyou, and every one of them matches.

I only heard the princess speak, her voice was soft and pleasant, but she was a little short of breath.

"Your daughter saved my life earlier. Logically, I should have come to your house to thank you in person, but my health was not good enough to make the trip. Later, I got the good prescription from Doctor Qian. After taking it, I feel much better than before. That's why I can go out and come to thank you in person. Please forgive me!"

This is what the princess said to Chen Cui.

No matter whether it was Sui Sui or Doctor Qian, in her opinion, they were all members of the Liu family. So it would be more formal to express her thanks to Chen Cui, the head of the family.

Chen Cui naturally made some humble remarks.

Suisui has already received a generous thank-you gift for saving her that time. Doctor Qian also paid a lot for the consultation. So, in reality, he doesn't owe us anything. There's really no need to thank us over and over again, and to come to her house in person to be so solemn.

Princess Fuyou covered her mouth and coughed lightly, her face slightly flushed, and she said with some embarrassment: "You are too modest, but I came here this time to ask for something. Last time I got Doctor Qian's prescription, I followed it for a while, and my body really got better, but now it is autumn, and the weather is about to turn cold. In the past, I would fall ill twice every autumn and winter. I came here today, and I also hope that Doctor Qian can visit me regularly to check my pulse and take care of my body in case of emergency."

Chen Cui turned her head and glanced at Qin Ruozhi. Did she do as Dr. Qian said and the pain got better? So did she want Dr. Qian to continue to treat her?

As this princess's precious body was involved, Chen Cui did not dare to agree without authorization, and only replied cautiously: "Although Doctor Qian is a doctor at my Jirentang, he is actually a freelancer. Whether he can go out to see patients depends on her personal wishes. I will convey your wishes to Doctor Qian."

Different from the last temporary pulse diagnosis, this time, the princess wanted to have Doctor Qian treat her long-term. Chen Cui did not dare to agree immediately and could only speak in a gentle tone.

"Of course. I know that Doctor Qian is a famous doctor and is very busy. It's just that you are the host, so I'm telling you about this first. As for Doctor Qian, please take care of the arrangements."

The princess said softly with a smile on her face.

After finishing the business, the princess turned her attention to Sui Sui and suddenly stood up and bowed to her.

"I haven't thanked my savior in person yet, so I'm here to show my respect!"

Sui Sui was shocked and quickly stepped forward to help her up.

"My lord, you are too kind. I just did it for the sake of convenience. You have already thanked me. I also like the thank-you gift. There is no need to be so polite!"

"Really? I didn't know what you liked, so I chose what I liked. Since you like it, that's great!"

The two of them started a discussion about those things.

The princess' eyes were bright, exuding the innocence and liveliness of a young girl, and she had a very pleasant conversation with Suisui.

After seeing Princess Fuyou off, Qin Ruozhi went to the clinic to seek advice from Doctor Qian.

She didn't expect that the princess really followed the master's method and it worked. She wanted to ask the master to treat her for a long time. This matter must be carefully considered.

"What are you thinking about? I'll go. Since she dares to take the risk and stop taking those bitter medicines, I dare to take over the care of her body. I can't say anything else, but I am confident that she can live to 40 or 50 years old."

Doctor Qian disagreed with his apprentice's cautiousness.

The princess's health has always been taken care of by the imperial physician in the palace. There must be imperial physicians who see her regularly and report to the noble lady. She couldn't stop taking the medicine just by herself. She must have obtained the noble lady's permission before she dared to do so.

The patients are not afraid and follow her prescriptions, so why should she, the doctor who prescribes the medicine, be afraid?

The richer and more powerful people are, the more they value their lives. This princess has been ill for many years. Now that she is getting better, she will definitely take better care of herself. I am not afraid that she will not listen to the doctor's advice. As long as she strictly follows what I say, why should I be afraid that her health will always be poor?

As a princess of the royal family, she actually didn't have any serious illness. It was just a congenital deficiency, and it was only due to her indiscriminate use of medicine that she damaged her health. Now she has found the right way, has no shortage of money or medicine, and is willing to follow the doctor's orders. Is there any better patient than this?

Doctor Qian soon entered Prince An's mansion again and took the princess's pulse to understand her current physical condition and determine the next strategy.

Princess Fuyou was indeed obedient and a good patient. She fully cooperated with the prescription prescribed by Doctor Qian and completed everything she was asked to do without any compromise.

Ever since the weather turned cold in September, Nanny Chen has been worried that her master would fall ill again one day. According to past experience, this illness would take at least twenty days or a month to recover.

It's strange that the princess didn't take any medicine this year, but she didn't feel any discomfort until October. Even the cough that she usually suffered from in autumn and winter has improved a lot. This is much better than in previous years.

This good phenomenon made Nanny Chen extremely happy, and she thanked all the gods and Buddhas.

Princess Fuyou smiled and said, "Why should I thank the gods? I have offered them incense and offerings many times in previous years, but they have not helped me get better. If I have to thank anyone, I should thank Miss Liu and Doctor Qian!"

If Miss Liu hadn't rescued her that day, she would probably not be in this world anymore, and she would never have found Doctor Qian at Jirentang. She is now in this situation, and these two people are truly her benefactors!
