TFWYH – Chapter 125 Also a Beauty

Tang Wan left in a daze.

Her two feet felt like they were stepping on clouds, and her head was bursting with the booming of eight hundred and eighty-eight grand ceremonial fireworks, exploding so fiercely that her whole face bloomed like peach blossoms.

Her beautiful husband kissed her!

Her husband kissed her!

Kissed her!

Whoooaaa…

Tang Wan felt like she was blessed with an infinite healing bug, powerful enough to take on an entire city alone!

Take on a city?

Oh right!

Since it was still early, she might as well head up the mountain to fight a tiger!

So, the moment she stepped out, she slung a basket on her back, carried a sickle, and marched off with high spirits.

If there had been BGM playing, it would’ve been the theme song of some gangsters heading out to brawl!

Ling Yue twitched violently at the corners of her eyes watching her.

What was with Sister-in-law looking like she had just absorbed someone’s yang energy?

Where was her brother?

Was he still alive? —

After leaving, Tang Wan went to check on Li Wu, then on Yuan Yuan.

Li Wu was doing well—the wound had already closed and just needed proper rest.

Yuan Yuan’s condition was worse, but recovery was only a matter of time.

Tang Wan gave her another shot of penicillin and asked how she was feeling.

“Much better. These past few days I feel like I have some strength again, my spirits are a lot better too. Just that the sores itch, I keep wanting to scratch them.” Yuan Yuan explained.

“They’re about to scab, but that doesn’t mean you’re cured. The root of this illness is inside.” Tang Wan said as she adjusted the prescription.

Syphilis, after all, was still a form of poison. Once the toxin was cleared, it would be more or less gone.

Yuan Yuan was young, had a good foundation, so she was recovering quickly.

Or perhaps it was because these ancient people had never been exposed to modern antibiotics—their bodies had no resistance, so the first treatment worked especially well.

At the rate she was recovering, she might not even need three months to be completely cured.

“Rest well. I’ll come back another day!” After finishing her work, Tang Wan prepared to leave for the mountain.

“Wan Niang, wait!” Yuan Yuan struggled to sit up, then took out a small jar from under her pillow.

She opened it and poured out its contents.

Two silver hairpins and a jade bracelet of decent quality.

This was everything she had saved up over the years.

Of course, she had had more originally, a lot more.

But the madam had been shrewd, watching her closely.

These pieces, she had quietly hidden away after learning she was sick.

Sure enough, when the brothel found out about her disease, the madam kicked her out with nothing, not letting her take a single thing.

She had originally planned to leave these to Widow Hong. At first, she didn’t give them, because the widow insisted on treating her illness, and she didn’t want to waste her money. She had only planned to hand them over when she was on the verge of death.

But things were different now. Tang Wan was capable, and Yuan Yuan could feel her dying body gradually reviving.

Since she could live on, she couldn’t let her savior suffer a loss.

With that in mind, Yuan Yuan pushed the jewelry toward Tang Wan and smiled: “Wan Niang, these trinkets aren’t worth much, but they’re all I have. Please take them!”

Tang Wan frowned: “No need!”

Yuan Yuan feigned sadness: “Why? Do you find my jewelry dirty?”

“No! You should keep them!”

“If you won’t take them, then you must think they’re dirty!”

“…Sister, that’s really not what I meant. Don’t go twisting things just because you’re pretty.” Tang Wan muttered, “You’re beautiful, you should wear them. I’m chubby, they’d just look bad on me. No need to waste them!”

Yuan Yuan hadn’t expected Tang Wan to put herself down and hurriedly said: “Who said that?

True beauty is in the bones, not just the skin. Wan Niang, you’re kindhearted—you’re the most beautiful person I’ve ever met.”

Hearing this, Tang Wan grew serious: “You’re a beauty too. Don’t belittle yourself.”
