zChapter 800 - Even If It Can Be Cured, I Won’t Cure You (2/2)
The members of the Lu family looked at the bottle of liquid hanging next to the bed then looked at Lu Yan. She seemed to have become a bit more spirited. A glimmer of hope appeared in Ge shi’s heart. Maybe she could get better?
Feng Yu Heng told them: “The infusion will need roughly two hours. During this time, as long as Lu Yan does not wildly move the hand that has been pricked by the needle, it will be fine. After the two hours have passed, I will remove the needle. In the future, a female doctor from Hundred Herb Hall will come each day to give her the infusion. At the very least, it will continue for ten days.”
Ge shi was entirely focused on Lu Yan. After repeatedly thanking Feng Yu Heng, she then sat next to Lu Yan’s bed and began to wipe away tears.
Lu Song felt that having Feng Yu Heng wait around for a full two hours was not good, and it would be awkward for an official like him to talk to her. After thinking a bit, he simply said: “This old official has another daughter in the manor. How about I have her accompany Imperial Daughter to chat for a while! Thinking about it, Imperial Daughter should have met her during the Mid-Autumn Festival’s banquet. It’s this old official’s eldest daughter, Lu Ping.”
Feng Yu Heng nodded and said in an even tone: “That’s fine. Lord Left Prime Minister just needs to have someone lead the way. I will go to Young Miss Lu Ping’s side to sit for a while.”
Without a need to bring it up personally, Lu Song brought up having her speak with Lu Ping. This was precisely as Feng Yu Heng had hoped. While walking toward Lu Ping’s courtyard, the maidservant leading the way reminded her, saying: “Eldest Young Miss has a bit of a hidden illness. Would Imperial Daughter please not mind it.” This maidservant was one that worked in Lu Yan’s courtyard. Lu Yan had gotten accustomed to deriding Lu Ping, and even the maidservants at her side had become accustomed to it. Lu Yan had already become like this, yet this maidservant was still mocking Lu Ping. This really was a joke.
Feng Yu Heng’s arrival was not unexpected to Lu Ping. She very appropriately received her and brought her to her room. She then said to the maidservant that led the way: “Quickly go back. Third Sister must not be left alone. Now that there are fewer people in the manor, her side needs to be taken care of.”
The maidservant had been wanting to stay around and listen to what they would talk about, but Lu Ping’s reminder sounded quite reasonable to her. The Lu family had lost quite a large sum of money, and it had let go of a lot of servants. They were already lacking workers. If some sort of unfortunate mishap occurred with the third young miss’ side, what could she do if she was not present? Thus she quickly bowed and ran back the way she had come.
Lu Ping watched the maidservant run off before sneering and saying: “For some reason, Lu Yan promised yesterday that, although the Lu family does not have much money left, she still has quite a few nice accessories, and anyone that worked to take care of her until she died would get a portion. They’re all irredeemable servants. For the sake of such things, of course, they must take good care of her.” After saying this, she apologetically smiled at Feng Yu Heng and said: “I haven’t even saluted Imperial Daughter properly yet. Please do not blame me.”
Feng Yu Heng shook her head, “It’s fine.”
Lu Ping invited her inside to be seated then personally poured her some tea; however, Feng Yu Heng did not want to drink at all. The smell from Lu Ping’s body was getting worse and worse. Not even perfume could cover it up. Moreover, this was a room that she lived in. The smell in the room was extremely disgusting.
Lu Ping also knew the situation. Seeing that Feng Yu Heng did not drink the tea, she quickly opened all of the windows in the room. Although it was a bit colder, quite a bit of the smell dispersed.
Feng Yu Heng took the initiative to say: “You didn’t go out at all after the Mid-Autumn Festival’s banquet, right? I never saw you come to look for me, and it’s not convenient for me to come to the Lu manor. Like this, the matter was just delayed.”
Lu Ping helplessly said: “With so many things happening in the manor, Lu Yao also died, thus they did not allow me to go out. If it was not for Imperial Daughter coming to visit today, perhaps we would not be able to meet.”
Feng Yu Heng nodded, “That’s right!” She did not say anything else and received her medicine kit from Wang Chuan. Only then did she say: “Go to the inner room. I will take a look at your condition.”
The two entered the inner room, and the two servants remained outside. Feng Yu Heng pulled out a medical mask and medical gloves. After putting them on, Lu Ping had taken the clothes off of her upper body. She examined her closely and took a blood sample to be tested later. She then said: “It’s the most standard body odor disorder. There are no symptoms of other illnesses. It’s easy to treat. I will give you some medicine.” While she spoke, she pulled out something from her medicine kit that she had prepared beforehand, “Eat one pill each day. Eat it before going to bed. Eat it for five days in a row. There’s also this spray. Spray it three times each day, in the morning, at noon and at night. After five days, I will come again for the sake of checking up on Lu Yan. At that time, I will give you a type of injection, and you will be better after that.”
Lu Ping nodded with a look of gratitude in her eyes. After putting on her clothes, she said to Feng Yu Heng: “I trust imperial daughter’s medical abilities. If you say that it can be treated, it can definitely be treated. I don’t know how I should thank you. There just happened to be something here that you should be interested in. I will bring it for you to see.”
