A Good Country Wife

Doctor Zheng took Lin Yue’s illness very seriously, managing to convene nearly all the noteworthy doctors in Xin’an City, yet no one could ascertain the exact nature of her problem. Despite her condition seemingly improving, she just wouldn’t wake up. By the third day, Lin Yue continued to lie in a comatose state, almost like Sleeping Beauty, oblivious to the noise outside. Left with no other choice, Zhao Erhu could only endure making various medicinal soups to nourish Lin Yue’s body. His expectations weren’t high; he hoped his wife would at least not refuse food and manage to hold onto her life for the time being. He had also heard from Doctor Zheng that the Divine Doctor from Jimin Hall was merely two days’ travel from Xin’an City. The Divine Doctor, known for his miraculous healing powers, might have a solution upon his arrival.

Jiang Ziqi had already reached the county next to Xin’an City and had planned to rest there for the night before continuing his journey when he received urgent news from Xin’an City. His expression tensed, he chose a fine horse and dashed off, leaving only a message behind, "I have urgent business and must hasten ahead to Xin’an City, you all follow at your own pace."

Jiang Ziqi hadn’t expected that he would see Lin Yue within a day or two, but to his dismay, she had taken ill. Why must this girl constantly fall ill or get injured? Couldn’t she give him some peace of mind without causing such worry?

Riding hard through the night, it was just a matter of hours before Jiang Ziqi arrived in Xin’an City, his face weathered with the journey as he appeared at the entrance of Jimin Hall. The shop assistant, upon recognizing the Young Master, hurriedly greeted him and immediately went to inform Doctor Zheng.

For the past two days, Doctor Zheng had been troubled by Lin Yue’s unceasing unconsciousness, confused about the reason behind it. Upon hearing of Jiang Ziqi’s arrival, his face brightened, and he quickly went out to greet him, "I pay my respects to the Young Master."

Concerned about Lin Yue’s condition, Jiang Ziqi nodded and asked, "Where is Lin Yue, and what is her current situation? Tell me everything you know."

Jiang Ziqi didn’t immediately visit Lin Yue, instead choosing first to inquire about her condition from Doctor Zheng. He was well-acquainted with Doctor Zheng’s medical skills, which, although not the best, were certainly quite good. Unless they were dealing with a particularly tricky case, it would be unusual for Doctor Zheng to be unable to treat an injury from a fall. Jiang Ziqi wanted to be fully informed before making any judgments.

Doctor Zheng explained Lin Yue’s condition in detail to Jiang Ziqi, whose brows furrowed as he listened, especially upon learning that even after the consultative diagnosis with the doctors of Xin’an City, nobody could determine the problem with Lin Yue. This only intensified his urgency to personally check her condition.
