‘Miss Shen is quite thoughtful.’
This unintentional gesture from Shen Yu undoubtedly touched the softest part of Yun Wei’s heart.
Since she was a child, only her mother had known she was afraid of bitterness, especially those dark, murky, and medicinal soups that were bitter to the core.
Ever since her mother passed away, no one else had cared whether she was afraid of bitterness or not.
In the eyes of outsiders, she was the high-and-mighty Eldest Miss of the Yun Family who had followed her father to fight in the south and north, earning many military achievements.
She was a heroine who wouldn’t even let out a whimper if a blade pierced her heart.
But in reality… she was deathly afraid of pain and utterly terrified of bitterness.
If she could gulp down a large bowl of medicinal soup that made others grimace just by smelling it without changing her expression, it wasn’t because she was brave; she was simply pretending to be strong.
“Oh, I was just coaxing a child. If the medicine is too bitter, children won’t be able to swallow it, but with this candy, it’s different. Back home, the children fight each other to drink their medicine just to get a piece of candy like this,” Shen Yu blurted out thoughtlessly.
She regretted it immediately after speaking.
‘Wasn’t this clearly telling the Young Lady from the Capital that I’m treating her like a child?’
“Ahem… I mean, adults are just like children; fearing bitterness is only human. As a physician, one should consider the patient’s feelings. It is true that good medicine tastes bitter but is beneficial for the illness, but if the medicine is so bitter that even an adult cannot stomach it, then it will adversely affect the treatment’s effectiveness.”
“Miss Shen truly is gentle.”
Yun Wei looked at Shen Yu with a smile, while the softest part of her heart was moved by the other woman.
“In that case, I will not disturb Miss Shen any longer. What about the consultation and medicine fees?”
“Don’t worry about it. It wasn’t a major illness. The most important thing is for you to avoid catching a cold, especially during your menstruation. You cannot afford to be careless with the cold then,” Shen Yu advised her softly.
She came from a wealthy background; as the young lady of Qingfeng Village, she had plenty of money and didn’t care about such small profits.
A few painkillers were nothing; under the production of the Qingfeng Pharmaceutical Group, the cost was extremely low.
Shen Yu actually possessed a complete medicinal herb industry in Qingfeng Village.
After all, her grandfather was a great landlord with plenty of land.
Shen Yu only had to act a little spoiled to obtain a large area of fertile land to grow various medicinal herbs.
Furthermore, herbs that wouldn’t survive elsewhere flourished under her mother’s care.
The efficiency was incredibly high!
The large amount of manpower in Qingfeng Village also helped Shen Yu produce various medicines.
It could be said that everything was put to its best use, and the costs were extremely low.
If the Emperor didn’t take action against Qingfeng Village, within a few years, Shen Yu could truly transform the village into the Qingfeng Pharmaceutical Group…
“Yes, I will keep that in mind. However, the consultation fee must still be paid.”
Yun Wei understood clearly that since her urgent problem had been solved, she couldn’t be ungrateful.
Without giving Shen Yu a chance to refuse, she left the money and departed.
“Once you reach the Capital, if you encounter any trouble, you can find me at the Yun Estate. Perhaps I can be of assistance to Miss Shen. You are a good doctor; I wish you success on the Golden List.”
Shen Yu held two silver ingots in her hands, weighing them to be about twenty-some taels.
She had to admit that this Young Lady from the Capital was truly generous. To give over twenty taels for treating dysmenorrhea—back in Qingfeng Village, this wasn’t even considered a proper illness.
One could easily solve it by flipping through the *Common Disease Self-Examination Manual* that Shen Yu had distributed to everyone.
Any illness Shen Yu had treated at the border was several times more severe than this…
‘Could it be that after leaving the protection of the border, I’ve discovered there’s no rain outside at all? Did I overestimate the medical standards of the outside world?’
On the other side, a smile appeared on the face of the man watching his daughter walk out with a light step.
“How was it?”
“She is very beautiful… No, Father, I mean, this female doctor’s medical methods are very impressive! I feel much better!”
“The medicine cured you immediately? Is it that remarkable?”
