Chapter 48 - 49: Giving You Half of the Dividends

“Moreover, if I fail to heal his leg injury, wouldn’t I have accepted so many benefits for nothing? I have to take responsibility.” Shao He suppressed the feeling of loss in her heart, constantly finding excuses for herself.

Yun Qian was reassured to hear her say this and did not continue to inquire. He changed the subject, bringing up the Cold Effervescent Powder.

“This time, we made a good amount of silver from selling the Cold Effervescent Powder. I’ll give you half of the dividend first.”

Yun Qian hadn’t expected that her concoction, which didn’t need to be boiled over fire, would initially meet with disbelief from the people, who thought the medicine was just a ruse to swindle silver.

Later, when a patient took it and experienced an extraordinary effect, feeling much relief from the symptoms the next day, that turned out to be more convincing than all the guarantees they could offer.

Shao He didn’t stand on ceremony with him, as right now she really needed a lot of silver. After receiving the silver, she began considering buying a house.

Living here all the time with her child and maid wasn’t appropriate; after all, gold and silver nests are not as good as one’s own little nest. She couldn’t continue to trouble Yun Qian forever, even renting a house would be an option.

In the following days, Shao He saw a few patients who came for home visits and took the opportunity to look at a few houses, but the prices were beyond her expectations, and she finally could only think about looking some more.

Pei Huaian hadn’t appeared at all during this time, which made her go from initial worry to gradually getting used to his absence.

Just like she had said, her concern for Pei Huaian was because of his illness, perhaps with an additional feeling of friendship.

In a busy life, there wasn’t time to dwell on it too much.

After another half month passed, an unwelcome guest came to the peaceful clinic, sitting in a chair with an expression full of disdain.

“Climbing out from a pile of corpses, reading a few books, and having the audacity to treat people—it really takes luck like yours to randomly run into dead mice like a blind cat.”

The person looking for trouble was Liang Weishuang, who had heard from Luo Jiner that Shao He was not dead and also wanted to take this opportunity to enter the Marquis’s Mansion. That’s why she specifically came to cause trouble.

When Shao He recognized her face, she quickly understood from the original owner’s memory that this person had always been infatuated with Chu Yu and guessed that she must have been used by someone else.

And that someone else, if not Luo Jiner, she really couldn’t think of anyone else!

However, in her memory, although Liang Weishuang often teased her, she didn’t harbor any bad intentions and only did many childish things without ever harming her.

“Would you like to be that dead mouse so that I, the blind cat, can chance upon you?” Shao He asked with a calm expression, her tone very flat.

“You!” Liang Weishuang was left at a loss for words by this retort.@@novelbin@@

With displeasure, she said, “Don’t be so smug here. If you’re so capable, tell me what illness I have on my body.”

“Would the lady please extend her hand? I don’t have the skill to diagnose pulses from afar,” Shao He replied with a slight lift of her eyebrows.

Liang Weishuang sneered and stretched out her hand, not believing that this woman truly had any skill. She thought she knew all about Shao He’s abilities.

After the diagnosis, Shao He coldly stated, “The lady should often experience painful menstruation, and you also suffer from nightmares.”

When she mentioned these two conditions, Liang Weishuang’s face momentarily showed surprise. She then realized that she had consulted many doctors for her conditions, so it was normal for Shao He to be aware of them.

“You’re just repeating what others have told you, thinking you’re so capable,” Liang Weishuang retorted.

Seeing this, Shao He did not get angry. Now, with Liang Weishuang brainwashed by Luo Jiner, whatever she said was useless. So why waste words?

She didn’t need to prove her medical skills to anyone. Those who believed would believe, and those who didn’t would not be persuaded by anything she said. It was better to shut those people up with her abilities.

“Doctor Shao, are you here? That’s wonderful.”

No sooner had she spoken than Lady Jhiang and Jhiang Yijia walked in with generous gifts. The servant boy placed the tray down, which was laden with precious gold, silver, jewelry, as well as silk and brocade.

“What is the meaning of this, Lady Jhiang?” Seeing their beaming faces, Shao He guessed something good must have happened.

Indeed, the next second, Lady Jhiang said with a smile, “Yijia is pregnant.”

“Congratulations!”

Jhiang Yijia’s cheeks flushed slightly as she said shyly, “Thank you, Doctor Shao.”
