♂?，，

  Because of the continuous rain, the sound of the rain was loud and noisy. Yu Rong had been knocking for a while, if not for Wen Shan constantly making eyes at her, she really didn't dare disturb the good dreams of Young Master and Madame.

  Li Mingyun hastily put down his luggage, threw the quilt onto the bed and asked: "What's going on?"

  "Master, there's a child on the ship ahead who has suddenly fallen ill. The family is frantically searching for a doctor and they've asked us if we have one on board... I didn't dare to make any decisions..." Wenshan said loudly after clearing his throat.

  Li Mingyun turned around and looked at Lin Lan.

  Lin Lan got dressed as soon as she heard that the child was ill. She said from behind the curtain, "I'll go take a look."

  Saving lives is a big deal, Li Ming said: "Wenshan, go back to that family and tell the young lady to wait for a while."

  The mountain responded with a voice, and hurriedly ran out.

  Lin Lan put on her clothes and got out of bed, seeing Li Mingyun also getting dressed.

  "Want to sleep some more?"

  Li Mingyun smiled and said softly: "I'll go with you."

  Lin Lan was slightly surprised: "Not knowing medical skills, what can you do?"

  Li Mingyun put on his shoes and went to open the door, where Yu Rong was waiting in the outer room.

  "Hurry up and fetch a basin of water, and have Yinliu come over to comb Young Mistress's hair." Li Mingyu instructed.

  Everyone packed up as quickly as possible. Yin Liu helped Shao Furen carry the medicine box, while Yu Rong brought over a few oil-paper umbrellas: "It's raining heavily outside."

  Out of the cabin, Li Mingyu held an umbrella and put his arm around Lin Lan's waist, rushing into the heavy rain.

  Lin Lan saw Wenshan talking to a middle-aged man at the bow of the boat, while Dongzi ran over: "Young master, that family is the one who tried to pry open our boat at Lin'an dock earlier."

  What's the point of saying this now? Are you still holding a grudge and refusing to save him?

  Li Mingyun's face was cold and stern: "One thing at a time."

  Dongzi chuckled and said: "I'm not trying to stop you, young master, just reminding you of something."

  Li Mingyu glared at him, this little kid has a few tricks up his sleeve, does he think I don't know?

  It's almost there~

  Young master and young madam came out, Wen Shan followed the middle-aged man to greet them.

  The man bowed deeply to the two: "I'm really sorry, it's a bother to come at this time and disturb the young master and his wife. It's just that my family's young master is seriously ill."

  Lin Lan said: "No need for formalities, let's focus on treating the illness."

  A middle-aged man nodded repeatedly and bowed, making a welcoming gesture: "My family's boat is just ahead."

  Wen Shan went to help Yin Liu carry her medical box: "Let me!"

  A two-man-wide plank had already been laid between the two boats. The middle-aged man went over first, and after giving a few words of instruction to the servant waiting on the other side, the servant immediately ran into the cabin.

  The plank was wet and slippery, Li Mingyu's hand that was virtually supporting him couldn't help but tighten, he said in a low voice: "Watch your step."

  Lin Lan murmured a response, and a warm feeling arose in her heart. They had never been this close before, close enough to feel each other's body heat. He held the umbrella at an angle, always leaning it towards her side. His hand was firm and strong, giving off a reassuring feeling. His concern for her was so natural, as if she were truly his beloved wife. But Lin Lan was clear that this concern had nothing to do with love; perhaps it was just his personality. In fact, Li Mingyu was still a very considerate person.

  Ye Xiang'er also got up. She had already woken up with a start when Yu Rong knocked on the door and sent Ling Yun to go and investigate what was happening.

  Ling Yun soon came back and said: "There is someone ill on the boat ahead. Please, Young Mistress, go take a look. Young Master will accompany you."

  Ye Xiner felt a strong sense of sourness and disappointment, what did her brother like about Lin Lan? Lin Lan couldn't play the piano, chess, books or paint, nor was she beautiful, but could only make a few medicinal prescriptions and say a few flirtatious words. When did her brother's taste become so low? Not to mention that she didn't agree in her heart, even those women in the capital who admired and adored her brother would be puzzled and depressed if they knew about it.

  Miss's thoughts, Lingyun understood clearly. Before, she also hoped that Miss could be close to her cousin, a perfect match made in heaven, but now that her cousin has a young wife, Miss still...

  That day, she was rewarded with a jade hairpin and later with a silver willow and kingfisher bangle. Ling Yun saw it all and felt uneasy in her heart. What was Miss seeking by doing this?

  It's a pity that her brother-in-law has been avoiding her, and the opportunities she has found for herself have been ruined by Lin Lan. This Lin Lan seems silly, but who knows if she is really foolish or pretending to be stupid. It seems that she needs to make more effort next time.

  Ling Yun saw Miss furrowing her brow and not speaking, wanting to advise but not knowing where to start. After all, Miss had never confided in anyone about her affairs. Hesitating again and again, Ling Yun decided to give up for the time being and observe first.

  "Miss, it's still early in the morning, would you like to sleep a bit longer?"

  Ye Xiner lay back down, staring blankly at the canopy, what was she supposed to do?

  Li Mingyun and Lin Lan boarded the boat, only to see a woman in her early forties, elegant and refined, come out to greet them. The lady's face was beautiful, but due to anxiety and unease, she looked somewhat haggard.

  Seeing a middle-aged man bringing Lin Lan and Li Mingyu over, the woman's eyes showed an even more urgent intention.

  A middle-aged man stepped forward and bowed, introducing: "Madam, this is Mr. Li, and this is Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li is well-versed in medicine. Hearing that the young master was ill, she came despite the rain."

  Upon hearing the words "master of medicine", the woman's eyes gleamed with a few more sparks, filled with intense hope.

  "I've troubled you two." The woman slightly bowed to the two of them.

  "Madam, no need for more courtesy, let my wife go take a look at the child quickly!" Li Mingyu said with a bow.

  The woman turned to Lin Lan: "Then I'll have to trouble Mrs. Li."

  Lin Lan turned back and called Yin Liu, but saw that Li Ming Yun's half of his clothes were all wet, so he said: "First go back and change your clothes."

  Li Mingyu nodded and whispered: "It's best if it works, if not, it's also good to stabilize the condition first, tomorrow we'll arrive in Suzhou."

  Lin Lan understood his meaning, which was that he wasn't too confident in her medical skills, but she also knew that Li Mingyun's words of caution were genuinely out of concern for her.

  "Alright, hurry back and change your clothes, don't catch a chill." Lin Lan responded softly, following the woman into the inner chamber with Yin Liu.

  "The day before yesterday, Rong'er saw someone fishing on the boat and also wanted to fish, but unfortunately fell into the river. Fortunately, he was rescued in time. At that moment, I ordered someone to make ginger soup for Rong'er to drink, but at night Rong'er still coughed, and by yesterday he had a fever. I thought he could hold on until Suzhou..." The woman said as she walked, her voice choking with sobs, tears falling, her heart aching with anxiety.

  "What about now?" Lin Lan asked.

  The woman wiped the moisture from her eyes and said, "Last night, the fever got even worse. He vomited and had diarrhea, kept shouting that he was cold. I used white wine to rub his body and a cloth with cool water to apply to his forehead, but it didn't work at all. On the contrary, the fever got even more severe... now he's delirious..."

  "Madam, something's wrong! The young master is having convulsions..." A maid rushed out in a panic.

  The woman's face changed greatly, and she cried out in pain: "Rong Er..." Lin Lan had actually turned around and quickly walked into the house.

  Lin Lan followed suit.

  Only a group of maids and old women were seen surrounding the bed, some rubbing their hands and others rubbing their feet, all loudly calling out "Young Master".

  The woman saw that the child's body was convulsing uncontrollably, foaming at the mouth, and rolling his eyes back, and she couldn't help but faint.

  Fortunately, Lin Lan was quick to support the woman and hastily instructed: "Quickly help Madame lie down, pinch her people, go get some hot tea for Madame to drink, the rest of you, go prepare hot water, clean handkerchiefs, don't crowd around here."

  The maids were already flustered and at a loss, seeing someone come out to instruct them on what to do, who wouldn't listen? But with so many people here, who should do what?

  An old woman stepped forward: "Xiangyu, quickly support the lady, Qinghe go pour tea, Lan Ying go boil water..."

  Lin Lan took out her handkerchief and stuffed it into the child's mouth, while letting Yin Liu open the medicine box: "Help me get the silver needle."

  Yinliu Mali handed over the silver needle to Young Madam, Lin Lan lit an oil lamp and sterilized it before giving the child an injection to stabilize him.

  The old woman ordered her servant to watch Lin Lan from the side, as she was worried that Lin Lan's medical skills were not good due to her young age.

  Two injections later, the child stopped convulsing and fell quiet.

  Lin Lan used the back of her hand to check the child's forehead temperature, then flipped open the child's eyelids and took a look, picked up a wooden stick to pry open the child's mouth and examined the tongue coating, finally carefully felt the pulse.

  Earlier, the woman said that the child's illness was caused by wind evil invading the body due to wet evil, and maybe even drank a few mouthfuls of dirty water. Because it wasn't treated in time, the condition worsened.

  "Silver willow, take two Bao Ning pills." Lin Lan's face was solemn: "Dissolve them in warm water and feed the child."

  "Here I come, here I come."

  At this time, the woman slowly came to, and as soon as she did, her emotions became agitated again: "How is Rong'er?"

  Lin Lan pressed down on her shoulder: "Don't worry, madam. The young master's condition looks serious, but it's not incurable. However, if we delay for another two days, it might become dangerous."

  The woman, upon hearing that she could be cured, grasped Lin Lan's hand and exclaimed emotionally: "Mrs. Li, please, you must save Rong'er! The Qiao family only has Rong'er as our sole descendant; if anything happens to her... I won't be able to live on either..."

  Lin Lan saw that the lady was no longer young, and this child was only seven or eight years old, apparently a mid-life child, naturally extremely doted on.

  "Don't worry, madam. Curing the sick is a doctor's duty. What I'm giving the young master now is an emergency medicine that can only temporarily alleviate his symptoms. To fully recover, he'll need to take several more doses."

  The woman finally calmed down and ordered someone to bring pen and ink: "Please ask Mrs. Li to write a prescription."

  Lin Lan sat down, picked up her pen and wrote as she spoke: "First, the wind is received, then the moisture is felt, the wind is evil, there is sweat, the pulse is floating, tight and rapid, it's Yang Jie, fortunately, young master has Yang Jie, which is easy to treat, use Ephedra, Fuzi and Fangfeng powder..."

  The woman and the old lady saw Lin Lan's words were reasonable, and the prescription was written with confidence, they couldn't help but exchange a glance, their expressions seemed to say... Rong Er can really be saved.

  "These medicinal herbs are currently in short supply here, and can only be replenished when we arrive in Suzhou. For the time being, let's use Bao Ning Wan, but don't overdo it. Feed him two pills at four o'clock, and have him drink plenty of water to dilute the wind evil in his body. If Little Master's fever subsides after a couple of hours, we'll call for me again." Lin Lan handed the prescription to the woman.

  The woman was extremely grateful: "If Rong'er can escape this disaster, then Mrs. Li will be the greatest benefactor of our Qiao family."

  Lin Lan smiled and said, "Madam, you're being too serious. The young master has a great fortune and will definitely be safe and sound. It's you who should take care of your own health, or else when the young master recovers from his illness, you'll fall ill instead."
