The Sweetest Medicine

Jian Weiwei rolled around in bed and closed her eyes, but she couldn’t sleep no matter how she tried.

After lying there for quite some time, she was beginning to feel a little muddled. In her half-sleeping state, her stomach felt a little uncomfortable, so she stood up to go to the bathroom.

While she was washing her hands, she subconsciously glanced at herself in the mirror. A girl stared clearly back at her.

Jian Weiwei blinked in disbelief and suddenly screamed, “Ah!!”

She then grabbed her crutches and rushed downstairs, “Grandfather, Grandfather…”

When Elder Jian heard his precious granddaughter’s urgent and flustered cries, he thought something serious had happened, so he immediately stood up and walked over to her, “Weiwei…”

Zou Yuanquan sneered with ridicule, “You best wish that nothing happened to the patient.”

Yu Gangan gave him a faint glance as Jiang Qi walked up to her, “Sister-in-law…”

Yu Gangan patted her on the back of the hand, gesturing that everything was OK.

Jiang Qi smiled.

She then looked back at Zou Yuanquan coldly and said in an angry tone, “You better think about how you’re going to eat an entire Compendium of Materia Medica.”

Zou Yuanquan’s smile turned arrogant. Was she still dreaming of making him eat that? She surely overestimated herself.

He was going to wait for her to get down on her knees and apologize.

“Grandfather, I can see clearly. My vision is a lot clearer…”

As Jian Weiwei’s voice rang across the living room, Zou Yuanquan’s body froze.

He looked shocked like he had been electrocuted and his spirit had left his body, “How’s this possible?”

The patient couldn’t have a heat problem. She couldn’t.

What was going on here?

Elder Jian smiled at his granddaughter with glee, “Can you really see clearly? Is it the same as before?

Jian Weiwei replied happily, “Not exactly, but it’s a huge improvement from earlier. I can, at least, see.”

Jiang Qi jumped in, “What a miracle.”

Yu Gangan smiled, “This isn’t a miracle. It’s applying the right cure for the right ailment. Dandelions are the King of Cooling. Since Miss Jian had a simple heat problem, this was the best herb.”

“She should completely recover after a few more doses.”

“As Dr. Zou mentioned earlier, Miss Jian has a cold constitution so she can’t drink too much dandelion. Following on, use Chrysanthemum and Goji berries instead. Get plenty of rest, don’t stay up too late, and your eyes should be fine in a few days.”

Jian Weiwei was so excited she almost broke down in tears.

Meanwhile, Jiang Qi was a huge supporter of the underdog, so she did not forget Zou Yuanquan, “Didn’t you say you were going to live stream yourself eating a Compendium of Materia Medica? Eat it now. I happen to have the app for it.”

Zou Yuanquan froze as his face burned.

He was meant to be the miracle doctor of Baiyang City, yet this little brat had taught him a solid lesson. Everything she mentioned about the heat, the eye drops, and other small details, were indeed the cause of the woman’s blurry eyes.

This time, he had completely lost his pride.

Zou Yuanquan was so uncomfortable, he didn’t want to stay for another minute.

At that moment, he could either jump into the ocean or live stream himself eating a Compendium of Materia Medica.

He looked at Elder Jian for help, assuming that the virtuous man wouldn’t allow a bunch of juniors to mess around.

But, when Elder Jian thought about the way that Zou Yuanquan lectured him on the people that couldn’t drink dandelion, and the way he scared him, he couldn’t show him mercy, “I happen to have a Compendium of Materia Medica in my study room. Housekeeper, go fetch it.”

Zou Yuanquan: “…”
