The Favoured Genius Doctor and Businesswoman - Chapter 121 - Treatment (治病)

Only after a significant amount of time passed, did Jing Yunzhao remove her hand .

"How is it?" With an expression of concern, Du Lin asked . At the same time, he was inquisitive of what Jing Yunzhao would come to say .

The three men in the house were staring at her, unblinkingly, causing Jing Yunzhao to feel a little unnerved, until she spoke . "Uncle Du, does your mouth taste bitter and astringent recently?"

Uncle Du nodded his head . "That's right, especially this tooth of mine . The gentlest of touches to it would trigger an unbearably piercing pain . "

The pain wasn't what truly worried him, but his taste buds would be affected .

"Did you also have a fever recently?"

Uncle Du nodded his head again .

Du Lin instantly held deep veneration for Jing Yunzhao . When he accompanied his dad to visit the doctors previously, those doctors only knew how to ask his father questions about his condition . There hadn't been anyone like this girl who could tell with just one look .

"What medicine did the doctor prescribe? An antipyretic?" Jing Yunzhao asked, her voice as gentle as before .

Listening to her question, Du Lin's eyes were almost about to pop out of their sockets and he gave her a big thumbs up . "That's right! We consulted a western doctor and my dad got an antipyretic injection . But a few days have already passed but he still isn't recovering…"

Jing Yunzhao had deduced the matter of the antipyretic because if it was a local doctor they consulted, those doctors would usually prescribe something that would reduce his internal heat . As long as they weren't a quack, then Uncle Du's toothache would already have been alleviated that day . Unfortunately, a few days had already passed with no improvements .

It wasn't a matter of Jing Yunzhao looking down on western medicine, but everyone had something they were good at .

"This illness is actually quite easy to treat, but I'll have to trouble Du-ge to take a trip down to the local medicinal hall to buy some herbs . I don't need too many either, just these: Angelica root, cinnabar, and japanese catnip . Oh right, does your house have any honey?" Jing Yunzhao still did not have a medical license, so she would obviously not write a prescription for them . Additionally, the ingredients she needed were all simple and non-toxic, medicinal halls would definitely have some in stock .

Du Lin now completely trusted the words of Jing Yunzhao . He urgently nodded his head as he memorized the prescription, then packed up a few things before dashing out of the house in mere minutes .

Fortunately, there was a medicinal hall nearby . Not long after, Du Lin came rushing back .

Jing Yunzhao borrowed the Du family home's kitchen . She dried the 'Bai Ji' and ground it into a powder, and then added some honey to mold it into a pill, before using the 'Zhu Sha' to coat the outer layer . In just a few minutes, she skilfully prepared the prescription for Uncle Du's consumption .

The medicine wasn't miraculous to the point where it would show an instantaneous improvement to the patient, but it assuredly did not need more than a few hours for it to show its effects .

"For the following days, please don't consume any spicy food or anything that would cause more internal heat . Get more rest, and try not to raise your temper," she advised .

The doctor he consulted before had likely also said the same thing, as Uncle Du made a sound of compliance . Maybe it was just a figment of his imagination, or a psychological effect even, but after downing the medicine with some water, he felt like his toothache wasn't as unbearable as before . Considering this lass' age, her mannerisms and speech were polite and insipid; unhurried . It had the effect of effectively alleviating his anxiousness .

Du Lin, on the other hand, was thoroughly intimidated . His expression when looking at Jing Yunzhao was measured, as if she was an endangered animal .

At the same time, however, he couldn't resist feeling guilty about his suspicious behaviour earlier . He thought to be more polite towards her when she came tonight to deliver the ingredients, even if they did not meet his standards, lest he hurt this little sister's feelings .

Jing Yunzhao still had classes in the afternoon, so she did not stay in the Du home any longer . After eating a meal made by Du Lin himself as a consultation fee, she was sent back by Li Shaoyun .

She had to give credit where it was due . Du Lin's culinary skills were indeed pretty good . The dishes were even more scrumptious than Tian Xiang Lou's . He definitely deserved the label as an Imperial Chef's later generation .

Her intentions to cooperate with him strengthened .
