Jiang Youzhi brought the servant into the courtyard and said to Mrs. Chen, "This is the attendant student that the peddler helped find."
"He specially delivered him to the academy the day before yesterday."
Mrs. Chen looked at the boy—his eyebrows were clear and his eyes bright, revealing a cleverness.
She nodded in satisfaction, "What’s his na?"
The servant replied, "My lady, the young master nad Du Ruo."
Mrs. Chen murmured, "Du Ruo?"
The servant added, "The young master said, Du Ruo is a type of dicinal herb."
Mrs. Chen laughed, "That’s pretty good, our family runs a pharmacy, the na is very fitting."
Yun Jiao, having put her kite away, ca out and heard this, clapped her hands, "This na sounds nice, Sanlang really knows how to na things."
Jiang Youzhi gazed at her, smiling faintly.
Just then, Zhang Shun ran in from the front, "Boss, Mrs. Yang ca to see the doctor again."
Yun Jiao furrowed her brows and hurried out, seeing Mrs. Yang sitting at the table with bruised eyes and even swollen cheeks.
Yun Jiao quickly asked, "Did your husband hit you again?"
Mrs. Yang nodded while tears stread down her face.
Yun Jiao clenched her fists in anger, "How can there be such a man!"
Jiang Youzhi stood at the back door, silent, simply watching Yun Jiao.
Yun Jiao took Mrs. Yang’s pulse and, fortunately, there were no internal injuries this ti; apparently, all the blows landed on the face.
As she prepared the prescription, she said, "Mrs. Yang, you keep getting hurt every few days, this can’t go on."
Ah Hu snorted from beside her, "n who hit their wives are cowards; I’ll go back with you and teach your husband a lesson, so he won’t dare hit you again."
Mrs. Yang shook her head in fright, "No, no, after you leave, he’ll probably hit even harder."
Yun Jiao finished writing the prescription, gave it to Zhang Shun to fetch the dicine, and herself took so linint to gently apply it on Mrs. Yang.
Zhang Shun had gathered the dicine and ca over with a sigh, handing it to her.
Mrs. Yang took the dicine and was about to leave when Yun Jiao suddenly said, "Mrs. Yang, wait, there’s a dicinal guide I forgot to ntion."
Mrs. Yang turned to look at her.
Yun Jiao earnestly said, "After you get ho, take a whetstone and sharpen the kitchen knife on it."
"The knife should be sharpened bright, once a day."
Lin Shuo suddenly laughed in the corner.
Mrs. Yang hadn’t quite understood and asked, "Should I use the water used in sharpening to brew the dicine?"
Jiang Youzhi ca over and said, "There’s no need for that water."
"Even after your injuries heal, you can sharpen the knife every few days, but you should do it when your husband’s ho."
Lin Shuo from the corner interjected, "When sharpening the knife, your expression should be fierce."
Ah Hu also got it, laughing, "Yeah, you could mutter sothing like, ’I’ll kill you if you dare hit again.’"
Tears quickly welled up in Mrs. Yang’s eyes.
She hurriedly wiped them away, bowed to everyone, "Thank you, Doctor Gu, thank you all."
Mrs. Yang’s ho wasn’t far from here; she took the dicine and went back, as soon as she stepped in, her husband cursed, "Where did you die, it’s already this ti and you haven’t cooked, seems you’re asking for a beating!"
If it were before, Mrs. Yang would have been trembling in fear.
Today, she wasn’t sure what had gotten into her.
The words from Doctor Gu at Renxin Hall and those handso young n seed to still linger in her ears.
She suddenly raised her head, walked into the kitchen with confidence, put down the dicine package, found the kitchen knife and whetstone, poured so water on it, and started sharpening the knife.
