  Madam Qin cried out: "Master, who knows where this swindler from the jianghu came from? He's frightened the mistress so much that she's coughed up blood."

  The county magistrate saw the lady spitting blood non-stop, her face as pale as gold paper, and suddenly became furious. He turned his head to glare at Lin Lan, shouting: "You scoundrel! Come and take him down! If anything happens to my wife, I'll have you torn into a million pieces!"

  Lin Lan smiled calmly: "Old master, don't pretend anymore. Isn't it to your liking that the madam is dead? Besides, this madam can't give birth to a son anyway."

  The prefect was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood: "How dare you, if I don't beat the rioter to death today, it will be hard to relieve my hatred."

  "I'm done for, I've had it...!" The lady let out a mournful cry as Lin Lan struck her sore spot, and spat out a big mouthful of blood.

  The old man hurriedly went to comfort his wife: "Madam, don't listen to her nonsense. Your illness will definitely get better. I'll search the whole world for famous doctors to cure your illness."

  Jia Ding rushed over upon hearing the news and was about to drag Lin Lan out.

  Lin Lan hastily begged: "Everyone, please wait a little longer, it will be ready soon."

  Jia Ding was bewildered by her, wasn't Master's order to drag her out and beat her to death with a stick?

  Qin's mother hated Lin Lan to death, she had brought Lin Lan in with a glimmer of hope, but unexpectedly it was like inviting a wolf into the house, taking her husband's life. She immediately shouted: "What are you waiting for? Why don't you hurry up and take action?" Just at this critical moment, Lin Lan saw that Madame's complexion finally had a hint of improvement, and she joyfully said: "Madame, do you feel a little better now?"

  As soon as the words came out, the lady was stunned, covering her mouth and carefully feeling her body, but found that the chest tightness had relieved a lot. She stared at Lin Lan in amazement, muttering: "It's actually relaxed a bit."

  The people in the next house were stunned, bewildered and uncomprehending. The lady was so angry that she almost died and vomited a lot of blood, but said it felt much better. What's going on?

  "Madam, I apologize for my previous offense. Please don't be angry with me. You have been feeling depressed and your emotions have not been unblocked, which has caused your liver qi to become stagnant and your blood to become blocked. This has led to the formation of blood stasis syndrome. As the saying goes, 'it's easy to treat a disease but hard to treat the heart.' I think the previous doctors were able to diagnose that you had blood stasis syndrome and prescribed medicine to dispel the stagnation and activate the blood, but they were unable to cure you because your emotional blockage was too deep. So, I used an unconventional method to stimulate you and make you spit out the stagnant blood. Look, madam, the first blood you spat out was dark with a blackish tint, but later it became fresh and red."

  Everyone looked at the blood on the ground and indeed, as the female doctor had said, it was first black and purple, and only later turned red. Only then did they understand that this female doctor's method was truly extraordinary. This kind of medical treatment was something they had never heard of or seen before.

  The county magistrate was the first to react and asked cautiously: "Then... is the lady saved?"

  Lin Lan smiled slightly: "It's all right for the time being, I'll give you another prescription, as long as you can dissolve the knot in your heart and take good care of yourself for a while, you will recover."

  "May I have a word with your wife in private?" Lin Lan asked with a smile.

  The old master looked at his wife, and she nodded slightly. The old master then said: "Everyone withdraw for now!"

  In an instant, the whole house was empty. Lin Lan stepped forward, took out a new handkerchief and gently wiped away the bloodstains from Madame's mouth, saying in a soft voice: "Madame, I'm going to say something that might not be pleasant to hear, but no matter whether Concubine Zhao can give birth to a son or not, this inner courtyard is yours. As long as you're healthy and sitting in this position, it will only make others feel suffocated. If you were to fall ill, wouldn't that just please others? It's said that 'those who are close feel the pain, while those who are enemies feel happy'. Madame should think about your two daughters too, and live a happy life."

  The lady, upon hearing this, felt as if she had been drenched in a refreshing rain, suddenly enlightened. With a moved expression, she grasped Lin Lan's hand tightly, her eyes welling up with tears: "No one has ever spoken to me like that before. I've been holding back these words for so long, and sometimes when I think about it, I feel like I don't want to live anymore. The old master's heart has already been bewitched by that fox spirit, if she were to give birth to another son, I...I..."

  "Madam, you're overthinking this. It's clear that the master is still very concerned about you. As long as you manage the household well and let the master have no worries, his heart will always be with you. The relationship between the master and you is a marital one, how can it be ruined by a concubine? Even if she gains favor, she's still just a concubine, she can't surpass you." Lin Lan comforted her.

  The woman wiped away her tears: "Miss, fortunately we met today, otherwise I would still be stuck in the horns and couldn't get out."

  Lin Lan smiled and said: "Just now I took a great risk, almost got dragged out by the old master to be beaten to death, scared me into a cold sweat."

  The lady felt apologetic in her heart, but scolded: "Just now I was almost choked to death."

  Two people looked at each other and smiled.

  The lady said: "I don't know where you are from, miss, but your accent is not from our Suzhou."

  Lin Lan said, "I was just passing by Suzhou and happened to see the medical notice, so I came to try my luck. The reward of 50 taels of gold offered by you, sir, is really tempting! It can be seen that you are very anxious about your wife."

  The lady was amused by his straightforward words: "If not, just stay in the government office! The betrothal gift, name a price yourself."

  Lin Lan smiled and said, "I followed my husband to the capital, and our boat stayed in Suzhou for only one day. Since Madam is already much better, I should also take my leave, as my family is still waiting for me!"

  The lady sighed: "Is that so! What a pity, I and he were like old friends at first sight!"

  "It was fate that we met again, madam. Hurry up and rest in bed! You just vomited so much blood, your qi and blood are both depleted, you need to take good care of yourself." Lin Lan helped her lie down, then stood up and bid farewell.

  Wen Shan and Yin Liu had lunch and were waiting for Young Master's wife in the flower hall, completely unaware that Young Master's wife had almost lost her life to a chaotic beating just now.

  Lin Lan wrote out a prescription and then carefully instructed her again. At this moment, Qin Mama was deeply impressed with Lin Lan, feeling grateful and tearfully promising to follow her instructions.

  The county magistrate already knew that Lin Lan was speaking out of turn to save his wife, so he wouldn't blame him. He even personally escorted Lin Lan out and ordered the officer who brought Lin Lan earlier to escort him back to the boat, along with the 50 taels of gold.

  As they left the yamen of the county magistrate, they got into a horse-drawn carriage prepared by the county magistrate. Yin Liu asked curiously: "Young Madam, did you really cure the illness of the county magistrate's wife?"

  Lin Lan nodded her head in satisfaction and patted the trunk beside her, laughing: "We've got all fifty taels of gold, what do you say?"

  Yin Liu looked at Young Madam with a face full of admiration: "Young Madam, you are truly amazing, simply a divine doctor!"

  Lin Lan chuckled: "I don't dare to be called a divine doctor, I really have some skills, and my luck is not bad either."

  Lin Lan was telling the truth, but Yin Liu thought that Young Madam was being modest and admired her even more. She sincerely thought that Young Master had good eyesight, everyone said that Young Madam came from a humble background and wasn't worthy of Young Master, only Young Master knew that Young Madam was actually a pearl in the grass.

  On the boat, Gui Sao handed the letter to Zhou Ma: "I don't know if this is appropriate or not, I just feel that something is wrong, so I didn't care about anything and took the letter back."

  Zhou's mother opened it and looked at it, her face changed greatly: "Fortunately, the letter was taken back, if this letter had reached the hands of Mrs. Dashi, it would have been a disaster."

  "Is it that serious?"

  "Second Missy wants Big Madam Zheng to help spread unfavorable rumors about Young Madam in the capital, in order to prevent her from entering the Li family's door."

  "This... they actually thought of it." Guizhen was somewhat indignant.

  "It's not easy for the young lady to enter the Li family smoothly, otherwise, the old lady wouldn't have let me follow her into the capital. If they stir up trouble like this, it will be even more difficult." said Zhou Ma with a lingering fear.

  "What should we do now?"

  Zhou's mother paused for a moment and calmly said: "Let's wait and see, they think the letter has been sent out, it should be quiet for a while."
