Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Lifesaving Grace

Along the way, the world in Xixi’s eyes became extraordinarily wondrous, every leaf, every cloud seemed to be harboring a story.

Su Yu was also influenced by this childlike perspective, finding new discoveries and feelings about the things around her.

They meandered and paused, picking up some trinkets, until the passage of time made them reluctantly head back in the direction of Spring Hall.

In the Medical Hall of Spring Hall, Director Liu was already seated at his desk, focused, surrounded by several patients waiting for consultation, each of their faces filled with a desire for health and trust.

Yuan Feng gently led Su Yu, weaving through the gaps in the crowd, to an elegant wooden table on the side of the Medical Hall, his movements carrying a hint of meticulous care.

He spoke softly and with utmost respect, pausing between words, “Director Su, please take a seat.”

His voice was not loud, but it was clear enough for those around to hear, as if deliberately establishing an undeniable presence for Su Yu.

In the treatment room, patients who were either sitting or lying down and awaiting treatment were drawn to this scene, involuntarily casting curious and skeptical glances.

Their whispers intertwined into a web of hushed tones, “Look, this time Huichun Hall has actually brought in a female director.”

One of them lowered his voice, filled with novelty and uncertainty.

“Indeed rare, but it remains to be seen whether this female director’s medical skills can match up to ours, Director Liu,” another person added, his expression revealing some doubts.

Director Liu, who was carefully taking the pulse of a patient, caught these discussions with his sharp ears. His demeanor remained composed, a gentle smile flitted across his eyes as he began to speak, his words exuding undeniable authority and respect, “Director Su’s medical skills are quite comparable to mine, and in the treatment of some special diseases, she has more unique insights and skills. Everyone can rest assured.”

After speaking, he nodded lightly, giving Su Yu an encouraging look.

Upon hearing this, a warm current surged through Su Yu’s heart. She responded to Director Liu with a grateful smile, her eyes twinkling with appreciation for the genuine commendation from a fellow professional.

She knew that in this male-dominated industry, receiving such a positive evaluation was not easy.

Even with Director Liu’s endorsement, the surrounding crowd still retained some reservations, trusting more in the seasoned Director Liu.

After all, health is no small matter, and people often do not wish to risk their well-being to try a new and different director.

Su Yu sat quietly in her designated spot, time seeming to stand still. The crowd bustled around her, yet few approached her for consultation.

She could only silently watch the line at Director Liu’s desk continue to grow, her heart calm as still water.

She was well aware that the high consultation fee was one reason, but more importantly, she needed an appropriate time, a chance to prove herself and win the trust of others.

Time would be the best witness. Once her reputation spread, her gates would naturally be bustling.

In this relatively quiet time, Su Yu did not waste it; she carefully observed Director Liu’s prescribing habits, noticing his preference for safe and mild medicinal materials, aiming to minimize the side effects to almost negligible levels.

While this surely ensured the safety of the patients, Su Yu thought to herself that for certain cases, if a small amount of more potent medicine were added at the right time, perhaps it could achieve twice the result with half the effort.

However, Director Liu always insisted on choosing those medicines that were similarly effective but milder, which, while ensuring the mildness of the drug, also invisibly reduced the efficiency of the treatment, seemingly deviating from the fundamental goal of curing diseases.

Su Yu thought to herself that she must discuss their respective philosophies with Director Liu when the opportunity arose, but now, with everyone watching, it was clearly not the appropriate time to voice dissent. It wouldn’t only seem disrespectful, but it could also lead to unnecessary embarrassment.

Just then, a familiar and cordial voice rang out in the Medical Hall, “Please kindly prepare five doses according to this prescription.”

Su Yu looked up and saw Aunt Wang standing next to the medicine cabinet, talking with Yuan Feng.

In her hand was tightly held the prescription personally penned by Su Yu.

Yuan Feng took the light and thin prescription paper, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, his tone revealing a hint of confusion and helplessness, “What is all this written here?”

His expression made Aunt Wang suspicious—could there be something wrong with this prescription?

Aunt Wang hastily grabbed the prescription back, her heart fluttering with panic, stuttering, “This… this… I…”

In truth, she couldn’t read a single word, unable to understand the complex prescription, but deep inside she wondered, how could the daughter-in-law from Ziling’s family deceive an elderly person like herself?

At that moment, Su Yu approached Yuan Feng just right, her voice gentle and confident, “Can’t you understand it? Do you need me to explain the content of the prescription for you?”

Her words were like a gentle breeze, sweeping away the anxiety in Aunt Wang’s heart.

Seeing Su Yu, Aunt Wang felt considerably more reassured, knowing that the owner of the prescription in her hand had personally appeared, assuring that the medicine would surely be prepared smoothly, and her trip today was not in vain.

Yuan Feng teased from the side, “Director Su, you must be joking. The writing on this prescription appears to me like a child’s scribble, it’s better not to insult your discerning eyes.”

A scribble?

A faint smile played at the corners of Su Yu’s mouth, a glint of cunning flickering across her eyes.

Ah… every stroke and line on this prescription were the fruits of her carefully planned medical skills and wisdom, hardly something that could be cursorily described as scribbles.

A barely detectable smile tugged at Su Yu’s lips, she said half-sarcastically but without smiling, “Thank you for your consideration, truly painstaking. This attentiveness is indeed impressive.”

Her words carried a trace of teasing, yet her gaze softened involuntarily.

“Of course, of course.”

Yuan Feng responded with a guilelessly warm smile, his dimples flashing in a hiding-showing manner, appearing extremely sincere.

Su Yu’s brows slightly furrowed, a trace of helplessness flashed in her eyes, gently glared at Yuan Feng, that look seemingly containing a thousand words.

Then, she took the ancient, yellowed prescription handed over from Xie Qifen, with edges slightly curled as if carrying many past stories.

With a clear and rhythmic voice, Su Yu read, “One dosage of Lorax, sixty grams of Chinese violet, its color like purple jade, its texture smooth and warm; thirty grams of Purple Shell Teeth, thirty grams of oysters, both gifts from the deep sea, sixty grams of Hyssop, hard in quality and subtle in brilliance; thirty grams of Actinolite, sixty grams of dragon bone, as if remnants from an ancient battlefield, sixty grams of Cynomorium, sixty grams of Mulberry Leaf, all brimming with green vitality…” Each name of the herbs she uttered seemed endowed with life, invoking thoughts of the stories behind them.

“Go and prepare the medicine.”
