The two were quarreling, and they were about to fight with each other. Fortunately, Zhu Shi came over and reported to them, "Zhu Lei had already knitted the ribs for Guard Jiang, and now he wanted to ask the Eighth Miss of the Duanmu Family to come and have a look."

Wei Changying stared at Duanmu Xinmiao, Duanmu Xinmiao snorted and said, "Why are you staring at me now? Isn't the guard okay now?"

"..." Wei Changying bit her lip and said, "If Uncle Jiang becomes better, I will apologize to you, but..."

When Duanmu Xinmiao heard it, she changed her face and burst into laughter in an instant. Then she said kindly, "Apologize? How embarrassing it would be! In terms of age, I should call you elder sister!! You could just help me collect some more pieces of good jade!"

Wei Changying held her forehead and began to talk after a while, "If Uncle Jiang can be cured, I will give you a few pieces!"

If the best jade was given to Duanmu Xinmiao and was ruined like this, Wei Changying wouldn't be reconciled! Besides giving Duanmu Xinmiao the jade, Wei Changying would also have to test the medicine for her. Therefore, Wei Changying was even more unwilling!

But if it were for Jiang Zheng's recovery, Wei Changying felt it was worthwhile.

After all, a few pieces of good jade were not a big deal to Wei Changying. If she hadn't lied to Duanmu Xinmiao just now, she would be able to open the warehouse and take out a dozen of them.

Although it was just a promise, Duanmu Xinmiao’s eyes were already bright, and she eagerly said, "Sister Wei, please rest assured! You can count on me! I promise I can cure Guard Jiang! If I can't cure him, I'll go and avenge him by poisoning those who had beaten him! Anyway, Sister Wei, don't forget your jade!"

In a second, she even remembered Jiang Zheng's surname and promised to undertake the task of taking future revenge...

Wei Changying said quietly, "If you can't cure Uncle Jiang, how will I have the mood to collect the jade for you?"

After Duanmu Xinmiao said it, she went faster and faster, and couldn't wait to take a look at him. After a while, she had moved so far that she didn't hear Wei Changying's words.

Following Duanmu Xinmiao, Wei Changying rushed to the wing-room. There were only a few people left in the room. Shen Ju led two sturdy women servants standing on the corridor with their hands folded. When they saw Wei Changying, they hurriedly came forward to stop her and said, "Eighth Miss of the Duanmu Family had entered the house. She said she would do the needle therapy for Guard Jiang, and she should not be disturbed."

Wei Changying found that Zhu Lei was absent. She thought that he was very filial to Jiang Zheng. Now that Jiang Zheng's life was uncertain, Zhu Lei shouldn't leave him. Therefore, she asked in surprise, "Is Zhu Lei also inside?"

Shen Ju said, "Eighth Miss of the Duanmu Family said she wanted Zhu Lei's help..."

"..."Wei Changying was speechless and asked, "Who else is there?"

Shen Ju hurriedly said, "Eighth Miss of the Duanmu Family said that she didn't need any other one. But I thought that guard Jiang was so badly injured, it would be better to send two women servants in to help, lest Eighth Miss should call someone for help later."

Wei Changying wiped her sweat secretly. Luckily, Shen Ju was clever and sent two people in to watch over. Otherwise, if the news that Duanmu Xinmiao was in the same room with two men, one teacher and one apprentice, spread out, the Shen Family would not know how to give an explanation to the Duanmu Family!

Wei Changying took a breath and said, "Eighth Miss of the Duanmu Family was zealous for the common weal, but Guard Jiang was a man. Today..."

Shen Ju said knowingly, "Young madam, don't worry. I had told everyone that they should keep quiet. Perhaps he saw that Wei Changying was still a little unsure, so he lowered his voice and said, "Young madam, please rest assured. Eighth Miss of the Duanmu Family is kind-hearted. If someone dares to be rude to her, even if you don’t tell us, we will not let him go!"

Wei Changying pursed her lips and nodded, and then she said, "I see."

Shen Ju's words reminded Wei Changying. Even the gentlefolks wouldn't want to offend Ji Qubing and his disciple rashly, let alone these servants including Shen Ju. Duanmu Xinmiao's identity alone was enough to cause them serious troubles. Besides, if Duanmu Xinmiao was able to save Jiang Zheng this time, she might also save them in the future.

The servants didn't know that Duanmu Xinmiao was black-hearted and she had taken Jiang Zheng to test the medicine. They only saw that she took out the "life-saving pill" made by Ji Qubing to rescue an unfamiliar guard. They might regard Duanmu Xinmiao as a skilled and virtuous doctor who was dedicated to saving all living beings. She was a highborn miss but she was willing to treat the common people. Besides, she had good medical skills. Her master, who was the so-called the first doctor in the country, was standing behind her. There was no deep hatred between them and Duanmu Xinmiao. If they discuss her reputation, they would be caught in the middle. Why should they do that?

Thinking of this, Wei Changying was relieved finally.

Jiang Zheng was indeed seriously injured. Duanmu Xinmiao came out after more than an hour. Wei Changying was shocked when Duanmu Xinmiao came out. She was quite energetic when she came in, but she seemed to have been picked up from the water when she went out. Water was dripping from her hair and sleeves. She looked pale and haggard. Obviously, the therapy was not easy.

But Duanmu Xinmiao's eyes were still bright. As soon as she went out, she looked at Wei Changying directly. Wei Changying said knowingly, "I will search for good jade and send it to you later!"

Duanmu Xinmiao always surprised others, and there was no exception this time. She said cheerfully, "Jade? Not in a hurry. When I did the therapy for guard Jiang, I suddenly found the medicine..."

"Sister Duanmu, look at your sweaty body. You must be very tired. Let's go back to the hall, sit down, and chat slowly." Wei Changying was afraid that Duanmu Xinmiao would say words like "The result of guard Jiang's testing was..." Although she was not afraid of Jiang Zheng or Zhu Lei's revenge, it would be better not to spread this kind of thing. Wei Changying quickly interrupted Duanmu Xinmiao, stepped forward and took her arm. Then Wei Changying dragged Duanmu Xinmiao to the living room.

"Alright, I'm a little hungry." Duanmu Xinmiao thought for a while, and said, "My family sister said that they make some rose cakes today, didn't she? Have they sent some to here?"

Wei Changying was frozen. Wei Changying thought that just now Duanmu Xinmiao had scolded Mrs. Duanmu like that, how could the former act like nothing had happened and thinking about Mrs. Duanmu's rose cakes? As a doctor, even if Duanmu Xinmiao was not afraid of others' poisoning, how could she not be afraid that Mrs. Duanmu might spit at the cakes?

As Wei Changying was silent, when Duanmu Xinmiao saw it, she misunderstood it. She thought that Mrs. Duanmu was embarrassed because of her, and Mrs. Duanmu wouldn't send her the rose cakes which were promised before. So she said angrily, "It was really unreasonable! It was her own promise to send me the rose cakes. Why didn't she give it to me now? Let me ask her!"

"Wait a minute!" Wei Changying grabbed her speechlessly, and hurriedly said, "We are all busy in the front courtyard. Maybe the second sister-in-law had sent them to the backyard?"

"You are not afraid of embarrassment and wanted to quarrel with the family sister for a plate of rose cakes. However, you went away from my house. Later everyone in the family would think that you were instigated by me! How could I explain?" thought Wei Changying.

For her own reputation, Wei Changying seized Duanmu Xinmiao tightly and almost dragged her all the way to the back of the living area... Fortunately, Zhu Lan, a maid, ran over to tell her, "Just now, the second young madam asked someone to send the rose cakes and the rose water to Eighth Miss. Granny Wan received them. Now the rose cakes are warmed in our small kitchen, and the rose water is hanging in the well. Should we get them now?"

"Hurry up!" Before Duanmu Xinmiao nodded, Wei Changying hurriedly gave out her order. She secretly thanked that her second sister-in-law didn't dare to offend Duanmu Xinmiao. Even if she was offended by Duanmu Xinmiao, she still took the initiative to continue to show her goodness. Otherwise, Wei Changying wouldn't know how to appease Duanmu Xinmiao.

As they were waiting for the rose cakes and the rose water, Wei Changying thought that she didn't even ask about Jiang Zheng's situation until now because of Duanmu Xinmiao's trouble. If it was another doctor and he or she still had the heart to find faults with the family sister because of rose cakes, the diagnosis and treatment must be very smooth, and the injured must be safe and sound.

Yet, Duanmu Xinmiao was Ji Qubing's disciple. The two had the medical skills that many doctors couldn't match. However, the two didn't have the slightest kindness. They were indeed merciless and had little regard for human life. Wei Changying absolutely believed that even if Duanmu Xinmiao had just failed to cure Jiang Zheng inside, she might still be happy when she came out...

So Wei Changying asked cautiously, "Uncle Jiang... How is he now?"

"He is okay." Duanmu Xinmiao was excited again when she heard Wei Changying's words. She grabbed Wei Changying's arms, and her face suddenly became animated. She was like a child and didn't look like a daughter of an eminent family in this age, who ought to be quiet and stable. Duanmu Xinmiao almost said it without breathing, "Sister Wei! Do you know what I found out when I did the therapy to Guard Jiang? The medicine made by my master before originally included... I thought they should be... Yet it turned out that this time... I found out... Actually... So I changed the method... Afterwards... Adjusted...Changed some medicine... Afterwards...The real life-saving prescription... Master... Acupuncture... Meridians... Qi and blood... Yin and Yang..."

Wei Changying was born in the most prestigious scholarly family in the country, but she used to concentrate on learning martial arts, and she did not pay much attention in cultural affairs, not to mention that she couldn't like her younger brother, Wei Changfeng, who knew even medical books. Duanmu Xinmiao learnt from the famous doctor in the country and she had profound medical skills. What Duanmu Xinmiao said could be barely understood by the imperial doctors. Therefore, how could a person like Wei Changying who knew nothing about medicine catch on?

At first, Wei Changying was able to guess and understand Duanmu Xinmiao a little bit. After a few words, Duanmu Xinmiao made a series of obscure statements. Wei Changying only felt that she was in confusion. She knew every word. Why couldn't she understand the sentence when the words were together?

So when Duanmu Xinmiao finished talking, Wei Changying was hard-eyed, then she smiled and said, "Eighth Miss is really erudite and really amazing!" She felt like she had listened to a book of heaven.

Duanmu Xinmiao was even happier when she heard it. She held Wei Changying's hands with bright eyes, and said, "Well, Sister Wei, did you get my idea? It seemed that I was the most stupid person. Master said it twice but I still didn't understand him. Moreover, I didn't dare to ask him. I should have asked you, Sister Wei. The so-called ‘Miraculous Pivot’ says ‘Su Wen’ is like this ‘The Inner Canon of Huangdi’ ‘Synopsis of the Golden Chamber’ I was so stupid! Why didn't I think of it earlier? Sister Wei, you are the daughter of the Wei Family in Fengzhou. You must know everything about these classics. Please tell me am I right this time?"

"Unfortunately, I didn't know what you were talking about. I just felt that you were unpredictable and amazing! You asked me to talk with you, if it wasn't shameful, I would like to ask you what was your meaning..."thought Wei Changying. As the lineal daughter of the Wei Family, Wei Changying wouldn't admit that she didn't even understand what Duanmu Xinmiao said. Wei Changying pretended to be calm and said with a smile, "I don't care about what you said. I had only one thing to tell you. Look at your sweat now, and your complexion is not good. Obviously, it took you a lot of energy for you to complete the treatment. Since you want to eat rose cakes and drink rose water, shall we have them quickly? We can talk after you recover, can't we?"

"But..." Duanmu Xinmiao was obviously still in the mood, and wanted to say something more. Wei Changying turned around decisively and said angrily, "Why hadn't the rose cakes and rose water been delivered yet? If Sister Duanmu felt hungry, you'll be in trouble!"

"Really! Haven't you seen that I, as the hostess, seemed to get into an embarrassing situation? You'd better serve tea, pour water, and get snacks as soon as possible in order to help me in the situation!" thought Wei Changying.

When Wei Changying shouted, Zhu Lan came in with an ebony lacquer tray. Then she whispered, "I had prepared the cakes and the water just now. It was just that I was listening to Eighth Miss of the Duanmu Family's words... I was shocked for a while, so..."

Duanmu Xinmiao was surprised. She looked at Wei Changying with great respect and said, "I had always heard that the Wei Family in Fengzhou was excellent in culture and arts. I originally thought that the Duanmu Family was also good at arts and we had many great civilian officials. I didn't expect that the Wei Family was such a profound family. Even a maidservant could understand what I was talking about?"

Wei Changying also looked at Zhu Lan in amazement. Zhu Lan lowered her head and Wei Changying could not see her expression. Wei Changying was suspicious, so she vaguely said, "Sister Duanmu, you misunderstood her. What could she know as a child? I'm afraid that she didn't dare to come in when she heard us talking, yet it delayed the timing of Sister to have snacks.”

Wei Changying was afraid that Duanmu Xinmiao might pulled Zhu Lan again to talk about medical theories. Whether Zhu Lan could understand it or not, Wei Changying, as her hostess, couldn't escape the fate of accompanying Zhu Lan to listen and talk with Duanmu Xinmiao. Wei Changying quickly got up and took the tray in Zhu Lan's hand. Then she presented it to Duanmu Xinmiao, and solemnly said, "Sister Duanmu, you helped us a lot today. I was quite impatient and misunderstood you several times before. Fortunately, you were generous and didn't want to make troubles. Now I wanted to use the rose water as the alcohol and show my respect to you! Please forgive me!"

"Sister Wei, what are you talking about?" Duanmu Xinmiao was very vigilant. She took the rose water in her hand, but she didn't drink it. She made it clear first, "I don't need your apologize. What about the jade?"

"I remember! I won't forget it!" Wei Changying couldn't wait to swear by the heaven. Everything was compared. Before, Wei Changying felt that Duanmu Xinmiao kept asking for jade and she was unhappy anyway. Nowadays, compared to being dragged by Duanmu Xinmiao to talk about medical treatment, Wei Changying felt that she'd better give Duanmu Xinmiao the jade directly. After all, it was better than losing the face of the Wei Family in Fengzhou in front of the lineal daughter of the Duanmu Family.
