Chapter 187: Inner City and Outer City, Two Worlds
Yan Li quickly advised: "Master, don't think too much. In my opinion, the second young master just felt that there was no need to say it, so he didn't mention it. Besides, the second young master has been away all these years and rarely goes home. Even if he wants to say it, he has no chance. Master, you should wait a little longer. Right now, Dilong is turning over a new leaf and there is a lot of work to be done. Even if Madam Chang and Miss Wushuang move in, they will have to work together. Besides, the second madam is in an unstable mood. If she makes a big fuss, it will not be good for anyone. If you feel uncomfortable living in Huayu Courtyard, you can also go to the concubine garden or Qiaosu Courtyard to relax."
Ye Jingsheng was so angry that he swept all the jewelry on Xiao Shubai's table and left.
Xiao had already moved into the wing room because the main room was occupied by Ye Jingsheng. The doctor said that both of them were injured and it would be inconvenient to treat them on the same bed, so it would be better for them to live separately. So she gave up the main room to Ye Jingsheng.
At this moment she was sitting by the window looking out. The injury on her shoulder still hurt, and she would feel hot and dizzy from time to time.
Jinxiu advised her: "Madam, please lie down for a while. Don't look at it anymore. The most important thing is to heal your wounds. As for the master, he can do whatever he wants. After the natural disaster, the Xiao family will definitely come to the mansion to talk to the old lady and seek justice for you."
Xiao didn't say anything. Jinxiu asked her to go back and lie down, so she did. She was also waiting for the Xiao family to make the decision for her. She would never give up the position of the mistress of the house, which she had finally obtained, to anyone else.
On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Ye Wenyan and his party prepared to leave the outer city and return to their respective residences.
Before leaving, she kept the young imperial physician Xiao Jue and asked him to continue to preside over the follow-up treatment of the injured in the outer city.
Bai Chuxiao, the granddaughter of the old doctor, also stayed to assist Xiao Jue. With the help of the brothers and sisters of the Shi family, Ye Wenyan felt that even if she left, she could rest assured for the time being. However, she repeatedly told Xiao Jue: "After I leave, you can't use the surgical method I taught you easily, and you must warn the doctors in the clinics not to try to use that method to treat new patients privately. That method is effective, but if I'm not here, the risk of you operating alone is still too great. Use pills for emergency treatment. If you really encounter a serious injury, go to the inner city to find me, and I will rush over immediately, understand?"
Xiao Jue has had a lot of contact with Ye Wenyan these days. The more contact he has with her, the more he feels that Fourth Miss Ye's medical skills are unfathomable.
He was once praised as the youngest and most promising doctor in the Imperial Hospital, and was proud of his superb medical skills. But after these few days, this pride had been completely destroyed by Ye Wenyan, and he even began to feel inferior.
He is twenty-four years old this year, and Miss Ye Si is only fifteen years old. They have achieved so much at such a young age, and their future is almost immeasurable.
Now he has received personal instruction from Miss Ye Si. Although she didn't teach him much, it is full of key points, all of which are technical difficulties that he had never been able to solve before. He thought that it would take many, many years to overcome such difficulties, or even a lifetime. But he didn't expect that Miss Ye Si would solve all the problems with just a few pointers, and even gave him a lot of knowledge points for free.
This benefited Xiao Jue a lot, and he also developed an almost blind admiration for Ye Wenyan. Now that he heard that Ye Wenyan wanted him to stay, this was like an imperial decree to him, and he immediately said: "Don't worry, Fourth Miss, I remember everything, and I understand the importance of it, and I will take care of all the follow-up matters. When I return to the city, I will first report to the General's Mansion. If the Fourth Miss thinks highly of me, I am willing to work for the Fourth Miss all the time, even if it is just to see patients in the outer city clinic, I think it is much better than working in the Imperial Hospital."
Doctor Bai was really envious when he heard this. If she could be 20 years younger... no, even 10 years, he would dare to say this. But now he couldn't. He was old and didn't have many years left to live. He couldn't afford to do such a thing.
It doesn't matter to him alone, but the entire Bai family relies on his identity as an imperial physician to gain a foothold in the inner city, so they can't take even the slightest risk.
But fortunately, the granddaughter can stay. The Bai family can't afford a position as an imperial physician, but they can send a granddaughter to work for Ye Wenyan. In this reversal of the situation, Miss Ye Si has made outstanding contributions, and it is inevitable that she will be rewarded according to her merits in the future. And it must be a big reward, and a great achievement. Miss Ye Si already has a good relationship with the emperor, and now there is another thing. It is not a loss for the Bai family to be on good terms with such a person.
Facing Ye Wenyan's instructions, Xiao Jue agreed to them one by one, but at the same time he also said to Ye Wenyan: "Actually, Miss Fourth, don't worry too much. I have noticed the doctors who came to help with the diagnosis these two days. They don't seem to remember the treatment method called surgery that you taught. I occasionally talked about it with them, and they were also confused. Some of them even refuted me, saying that such a thing does not exist at all, they can't do it at all, and only Miss Fourth can do it. I think, maybe that kind of surgery is too scary and too complicated, which makes it difficult for them to accept it?"
Ye Wenyan pondered for a while, and just said "hmm" casually, which was considered as a reply to Xiao Jue. In his heart, he thought about his words and also figured out a general idea.
No matter how hard it is to accept, they have all undergone simple surgery. How could they have forgotten everything?
If what Xiao Jue said was true, it could only mean one thing, that someone had tampered with their memories.
This memory correction technique was not difficult for Shi Liyuan. It must have been the spell that she left behind before leaving. It solved a big problem for her. This was good, as she didn't have to worry about someone secretly performing surgery and causing irreversible secondary damage to the patient. It also prevented someone from privately making surgical instruments based on the appearance of those instruments, disrupting the rules of the medical profession.
The Fourth Miss Ye returned to the city with a large group of people. In addition to the people who came, there were also many people who came to see her off spontaneously.
The government sent a carriage, led by Chi Hongfang himself. For the first time, the prefect of Lin'an felt so proud, as if the people were seeing him off and praising him.
More and more people followed the convoy. After the disaster, they had nothing to give, but their praise and gratitude came from the heart. Those who were injured and unable to move, knelt down on the street and kowtowed to their savior with tears in their eyes.
Someone said, "I wonder if Miss Ye Si will come to the outer city again after she leaves. Will we have a chance to see her again?"
Some people also said: "We got Miss Ye Si's big um, we have to find a way to report this um, otherwise we will feel uneasy."
The people around advised: "The fourth lady is a righteous person, what else does she need you to repay her? Don't make trouble, let's live well in the outer city. This life was given by the fourth lady, and only by living well can we repay her for saving us. As for the favor, I'm afraid there will be no chance to repay her, so just bow in the direction of the general's mansion every day and remember everything in your heart."
Ye Wenyan heard some of these words and not some of them, but he knew that they were all expressions of heartfelt gratitude from the people in the outer city, so he kept them in his heart and couldn't help but smile.
But the most excited person was Ye Chulian, because she also heard the three words "Fifth Miss" among the voices of gratitude. People were saying, "In addition to the Fourth Miss, we are also grateful to the Fifth Miss, the Second Young Master, Lord Jiang, Lord Chi, several imperial doctors, and those good girls who serve as maids for the young lady. Everyone is a benefactor, and we will remember them forever!"
There was even someone who was shouting loudly: "Fifth Miss! Don't feel inferior! You are the kindest and most beautiful concubine in the world. You will definitely have an infinitely bright future. We are all waiting to see it!"
Ye Chulian covered her face and cried, and the maid Sui Xi also cried with her. Although Zhuier didn't quite understand why they were crying, people outside also mentioned the maid, and some even called out her name, which made her extremely excited, and her nose was sore when she was excited.
Then she could understand Ye Chulian's feelings, and when she put herself in his shoes, tears began to fall.
Ye Wenyan looked at the three people crying, and she felt a few emotions in her heart. She patted Ye Chulian and said to her softly: "You see, whether a person can be respected is never given by others, but earned by oneself. So don't belittle yourself, don't take your background too seriously, as long as you want to change and do it in the right way, you will definitely gain something. Do you understand what I said?"
Ye Chulian put her hands down and nodded vigorously, "I understand, and I will definitely listen to Fourth Sister. I want to be a good person, a useful person, and I will work hard. Please help me, Fourth Sister, and don't let me live the same life as before."
The convoy finally returned to the inner city. The people in the outer city stood at the city gate and watched the convoy go away. They did not go home until they could no longer see it. From then on, Miss Ye Si became a legend in their hearts. They promised to remember her for the rest of their lives, so they could not miss even a day.
Inner city and outer city, two different worlds.
Ever since the convoy entered the inner city, what they heard most along the way was no longer praise, but complaints and doubts that were the complete opposite of praise, and even vicious curses.
Some people said: "Miss Ye Si is a disaster star. Those untouchables in the outer city don't know anything, so they support her. If they knew that it was because she danced in the fire that angered God, and this disaster was sent down, I'm afraid the people in the outer city would pin her to the ground and beat her to death, and would never let her come back alive."
Some people also said: "The witch of the Ye family should have been driven out of the inner city long ago. With her around, the inner city will never be at peace. It was so in the past, and it is still so now."
Chi Hongfang heard these words and was so angry that he shouted: "Shut up! You have done nothing but stay in the city waiting for the court to help you. What qualifications do you have to blame Miss Ye Si now? If you have the ability, go save people. If you have the ability, go practice medicine! If you don't know how to do anything, shut up!"
After hearing this, people were not happy and stepped forward to surround the convoy...
