Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Not Returning All Night
Song Xiaoniang wanted to argue, but found herself at a loss for words, and could only storm off in fury.
Su Yu gently pursed her lips in a smile, and mockingly thought to herself, The ignorant ought to learn when to keep silent!
Afterward, Su Yu turned to Young Master Tutor Lin, her tone filled with concern, “Master Han, looking at your weary appearance, you must have been worried about the Old Lady’s illness for many days, resulting in your inability to rest. Later, I will prescribe you a tranquilizing medicine. After taking it, you must rest well for the night. With me here, you can be at ease about the Old Lady!”
Young Master Tutor Lin’s gaze tenderly fell on the Old Lady’s calm and serene sleeping face, finally finding a trace of solace amid his anxiety and concern.
“Then I must trouble Doctor Su.”
His words were replete with trust and gratitude, as if he had seen a glimmer of hope.
Su Yu gently waved her hand, her demeanor carrying a casual modesty, while politely saying, “Oh, not at all, it’s only right.”
However, her eyes slightly lowered, and a subtle ripple stirred in her heart, thinking to herself, I hope they won’t forget the substantial reward behind my hard work!
Afterward, she gracefully spread out the paper, dipped her brush in ink, and with a flick of her wrist, prescription after prescription flowed onto the paper like clouds and water, each stroke imbued with her profound medical knowledge and precise grasp of the properties of the medicines.
After writing, she carefully instructed the servants to prepare the medicine as prescribed, each order meticulous, conveying her deep concern for the patient.
“Remember, this dose needs to be prepared with three bowls of water, simmered on low heat until only one bowl remains, then it can be served for the gentleman’s consumption.”
Her voice was gentle yet firm, each word falling like warm sunshine into the hearts of those listening, providing comfort and trust.
“As for the other two doses, be sure to select the ingredients carefully. After completion, move the medicine pot to the Old Lady’s room. I need to personally supervise the preparation process to ensure the perfect fusion of medical properties.”
Her tone was full of a serious commitment to her duties, allowing no room for carelessness.
Looking at the slightly fatigued figures of the little maids, Su Yu felt a surge of compassion.
Because of the worsening condition of the Old Lady, they hadn’t had proper rest for many days, and their faces hardly hid their fatigue.
In a gentle voice, she tried to lessen their burden, “First, put down what you are doing, tidy up the room, then find me a lightweight fan, and afterwards, go have a good rest, I’ve got this handled.”

The two little maids, upon hearing this, expressed their gratitude profusely, quickly bowing in thanks, their eyes sparkling with sincere admiration and appreciation for Su Yu.
For them, obtaining a moment to catch their breath during this challenging time was undoubtedly a great blessing.
Su Yu stood alone by the furnace, focused and cautious.
As the medicine began to boil, she expertly turned down the fire, switching to a gentle simmer, allowing the medicinal properties to release gently; another stove was moved next to the Old Lady’s bed, the flames leaping like protective spirits, the medicinal fragrance growing richer, turning into a light mist swirling around.
She held a fan, gently wafting the medicinal mist towards the deeply sleeping Old Lady, an action aimed at aiding the medicine’s penetration into the lungs and intestines and alleviating the distress of phlegm.
From deep night to dawn, Su Yu had neither slept nor rested, continually adding firewood and medicine, until the potency of the residue gradually diminished, then she finally stopped.
Looking out the window, the light of dawn was already breaking, the pot of medicine simmered on a low heat still gently bubbling; she lifted the lid to check—it still needed an hour of simmering.
Su Yu stretched her stiff body, rubbed her sore brows from long hours of watching, and braced herself for the new day.
Another hour hurried by, and it was fully light. Footsteps hurried from outside the courtyard, as Young Master Tutor Lin and his female relatives arrived, their faces filled with anxiety, to inquire about the Old Lady’s recovery.
The Old Lady was still immersed in deep sleep. Su Yu was gently feeding her the last spoonful of medicine, estimating in her mind that after the medicine took effect, it would still take a few more hours for the Old Lady to wake from her slumber.
Facing Young Master Tutor Lin’s urgent inquiries, Su Yu explained calmly, “Recently, the Old Lady has been weak. Last night, I used strong medicine to induce severe coughing to clear the phlegm in her body. Though it turned danger into safety, it also exhausted her strength and led her into deep sleep. But please, do not worry overly. After sufficient rest, the Old Lady will wake up safely on her own.”
Upon hearing this, Young Master Tutor Lin immediately pressed on, “Does this mean that the Old Lady’s illness is completely cured?”
Su Yu gently shook her head, her eyes full of sincerity, “The Old Lady’s condition has been long-standing and cannot be eradicated in a short time; it requires persistent medicinal soups and thoughtful care. But rest assured, Master, with regular medication and careful attention, the Old Lady’s health will gradually improve and return to her former vitality.”
Her words, like a warm breeze in spring, brought everyone infinite hope and confidence.
Young Master Tutor Lin, after listening, flashed a look of admiration in his eyes and nodded repeatedly in praise, his voice filled with excitement, “Good, good! Doctor Su, you are truly capable of curing with your medicine and have completely won the Old Lady’s heartfelt approval; truly a Miracle Doctor!”
His tone carried sincere recognition and gratitude for Su Yu’s medical skills.
Su Yu smiled slightly and gestured with a graceful and humble pose, her demeanor exuding a gentle aura, “You flatter me too much, Master Lin. However, I haven’t been home all night, and my family must be extremely worried and anxious.”
“Since the Old Lady’s condition has largely stabilized, I boldly request that you summon the mansion’s physician immediately. After I pass on the treatment details, I need to rush home to ease my elder relatives’ concerns.”
In her words, Su Yu revealed deep concern for her family.
The Young Master Tutor’s wife, hearing this, quickly asked with concern, “Miss Su, where does your family live? If it’s a long journey, the travel might tire you further.”
Su Yu slightly tilted her head, her eyes shimmering with puzzlement, wondering why the Young Master Tutor’s wife suddenly asked this.
Realizing her abruptness, the Young Master Tutor’s wife quickly explained with a face filled with a tender smile, “Oh, I was just thinking, Miss Su, your eyes are so red, it’s clear they are strained from staying up, why not rest here for a little while? That way, we could show our hospitality and properly thank you for your selfless efforts. As for notifying your family, Lin Mansion will naturally arrange for someone to handle it securely without worry.”
Young Master Tutor Lin agreed immediately on hearing this, feeling that his wife’s suggestion made sense, “What my wife says is very true. Doctor Su not only has a healing hand and a kind heart but also saved my mother’s life. Lin Mansion ought to express our profound gratitude. Doctor Su, please stay and rest a bit so that we may express our appreciation.”
The couple’s seamless cooperation, however, caused an array of mixed feelings in Song Xiaoniang, watching nearby, her eyes filled with complex resentment, staring intently at the Young Master Tutor’s wife as if trying to see through her intentions.
