"However, she then said to the woman, 'Little sister, give me the child. I'll take you both to Baicaotang for treatment.'"
With that, Leng Ruoli quickly took the child, who was about to faint from the pain, from the woman and ran towards Baicaotang.
This place was closest to her old apprentice's Baicaotang, and it was convenient for her to hide her secret, so she chose to take this little boy to Baicaotang for an appendectomy.
In Baicaotang, Doctor Huang, who was busy treating patients, suddenly saw a figure appear before him. He thought it was another wealthy person trying to cut the queue for treatment and was about to reprimand her. When he looked up, he saw a familiar figure. It turned out his young master had arrived.
"Master, what happened to this child?"
"He has appendicitis. I need to perform surgery on him immediately. Get that empty room ready."
"Alright, alright. I'll prepare it right away."
Doctor Huang quickly ordered someone to disinfect the empty room.
A short while later, the medical apprentice Nan Xing came to her and said, "Master's master (Leng Ruoli), the room is ready."
Leng Ruoli nodded and gave Doctor Huang a look, saying, "Old Huang, help me take care of this little sister."
Doctor Huang instantly understood his master's meaning: he was to guard the room and not let the woman intrude.
So, he immediately replied, "Okay, Master, don't worry."
Afterward, Leng Ruoli immediately entered the room and then retreated into her system space to perform the appendectomy on the little boy.
With her portable system space, performing an appendectomy was an extremely easy task for her.
She finished the surgery in just half an hour.
...
Outside the room, the little boy's mother paced anxiously by the door.
Doctor Huang held his forehead and said, "Madam, please stop pacing. You're making me dizzy. Don't worry, your son's appendicitis is nothing for my master."
The woman still looked suspicious.
"Doctor Huang, is the young lady inside really your master? Is her medical skill even better than yours?"
"More real than pearls. She is my master. Her medical skills are not even on the same level as mine. She is in the heavens, while I can only look up to her from the ground."
The woman did not expect Doctor Huang to answer her so proudly, not showing any shame in acknowledging a young girl as his master.
It seemed that this young lady's medical skills were truly remarkable, otherwise, a veteran doctor with decades of practice would not admire her so much.
A moment later, the door of the room was opened from the inside.
"Little sister, your son is fine now."
"Miss, are you serious? Is my son really alright?"
The woman's eyes welled up with tears of joy. She truly couldn't believe that this young lady could cure her son's appendicitis.
Leng Ruoli smiled at her and said, "Why don't you go in and see for yourself?"
Seeing her confident expression, the woman eagerly walked into the room.
The little boy had woken up. He felt a dull pain in his abdomen, but it was much better than the unbearable pain before.
"Mommy, Mommy, what happened to me?"
"Child, are you feeling better? Does it still hurt?"
"Mommy, it doesn't hurt as much anymore."
"That's good, that's good..."
As she spoke, the woman started crying.
After a while, the woman calmed down and knelt before Leng Ruoli, expressing her profound gratitude, "Miss, thank you so much this time."
Leng Ruoli quickly helped the woman up and said, "Little sister, please get up. Saving lives and healing the wounded is my duty as a doctor."
"No, no, Miss. If it weren't for you today, my son might have lost his life."
Afterward, she took out a document from her embrace and returned it to Leng Ruoli.
"Miss, my name is Liu Nianhua, and my son's name is Li Mengfan. I'm returning this document to you."
Leng Ruoli smiled at her, took her document, and said, "Then I'll call you Sister Nianhua from now on."
Upon hearing this, Liu Nianhua felt overwhelmed with gratitude.
"Miss, how can that be? You are clearly a young lady from a noble family, judging by your attire, while I am just a crude woman from the countryside. How can you call me sister?"
"Sister Nianhua, there is no distinction between noble and humble. You don't need to mind. However, your son needs rest after surgery, so you should stay at this clinic for two days. Don't worry, I'll inform Doctor Huang about it. In the future, if you encounter any difficulties, you can find me at the Jinxiu Pavilion ready-to-wear shop. My name is Leng Ruoli."
After Leng Ruoli had arranged everything, she checked the time and guessed that Xing'er should have completed her mission. She immediately left Baicaotang.
Meanwhile, Xing'er arrived at the entrance of the Leng Wangfu (Prince Leng's residence) and happened to encounter Ye Ying, who was going out on business.
"Excuse me, sir guard, could you help me inform your prince? I am a maid from Miss Leng Ruoli of the Leng General's mansion," Xing'er said nervously. This was her first time daring to come to the Prince Leng's residence.
Ye Ying quickly recognized her as Leng Ruoli's maid. When he had investigated Leng Ruoli before, he knew she had a loyal maid. He asked, "Tell me first, what business does your young lady have with the Prince?"
"Sir guard, my young lady asked me to come and invite the Prince to visit Yaowangtang (Doctor Liang's clinic) to investigate the matter of the pills from Yaowangtang," Xing'er said boldly.
Ye Ying found it somewhat amusing. This eldest young lady of the Leng family was too presumptuous. She dared to send a mere maid to deliver a message when she needed a favor from the Prince.
Originally, Ye Ying didn't need to pay attention to this little maid, but he was very curious about what expression his Prince would have when he learned that Leng Ruoli had invited him in such a manner.
"Then wait here for a moment. I'll go in and inform the Prince."
In the study of Prince Leng's residence, Jun Mohan was reading a confidential letter when he heard Ye Ying's voice returning from outside the door.
"Your Highness, Miss Leng Ruoli sent her maid to invite you to Yaowangtang regarding the matter of the pills from Yaowangtang."
"That woman's courage is growing. She dares to meddle in everything."
"Your Highness, shall we go?"
"Yes, why not? I want to see what tricks she's up to."
Then, Jun Mohan remembered something.
"Ye Ying, go and summon Yan Song, the Minister of the Dali Temple, and ask him to find the families of those who had trouble after taking the pills from Yaowangtang. I will conclude this case today."
"Yes, Your subordinate obeys!"
Ye Ying turned and left Prince Leng's residence.
Xing'er, who was still waiting anxiously outside Prince Leng's residence, saw Ye Ying come out.
Ye Ying glanced at her and said, "Go back and tell your young lady that His Highness will be there shortly."
Upon hearing Ye Ying's words, Xing'er was stunned on the spot, her mouth forming an "o" shape. She never expected her young lady to have such influence as to invite His Highness Prince Leng.
At this moment, Ye Ying saw the expression on the little maid's face and felt both amused and exasperated.
"What are you still standing there for?"
Xing'er immediately came back to her senses and ran off in a hurry.
"Oh my heavens! Everyone says His Highness Prince Leng is terrifying, but I didn't expect the guards in Prince Leng's residence to be so frightening too."
