TFWYH – Chapter 634 The Third Prince’s Consort

The women who came seeking treatment saw Xiao Yeshi and left one after another.

Xiao Yeshi felt utterly speechless. Since when did people judge solely by appearances?

She had been studying under Tang Wan these past days, and her medical skills were genuinely very good!

But others simply did not believe it. Thus, an entire morning passed. On Physician Li’s side, patients lined up in a long queue.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yeshi did not have a single patient.

Physician Li wanted to comfort her with a few words, but he was too busy and could only put it aside for the moment.

It was only after noon that Tang Wan finally arrived carrying a food box.

The moment Xiao Yeshi saw her, she nearly burst into tears. “Master…”

“What’s wrong?” Tang Wan set the food box aside before going over to look at her. “Did someone bully you?”

Xiao Yeshi shook her head pitifully.

Physician Li had just finished his work at that moment and walked over with a laugh. “People think she’s too young. The little girl is feeling depressed because of it.”

Tang Wan: …

That’s all?

I thought it was something serious!

“Eat first.” Tang Wan opened the food box and took out the dishes and rice.

Physician Li laughed heartily and placed the rice in front of Xiao Yeshi. “Alright, hurry and eat. People just don’t know you yet. Once they do, naturally there will be patients looking for you.”

“Mhm!” Xiao Yeshi nodded gloomily and picked up her bowl.

“Excuse me, is there a female doctor here?” a voice suddenly asked.

The three of them turned to look. A well-dressed older maidservant had entered, and behind her stood a woman wearing a veiled hat. Her stomach was swollen, making it obvious she was pregnant.

Tang Wan looked at the woman without speaking.

Xiao Yeshi became excited at once and immediately put down her bowl. “Yes, yes! I’m the female doctor!”

“You?” The maidservant frowned as she sized up Xiao Yeshi before turning back to look at the woman behind her.

The woman waved her hand and turned to leave immediately.

The moment Xiao Yeshi saw this, her lips trembled, and she was almost about to cry.

Just then, Tang Wan spoke. “Madam, are you suffering from itching and burning below, accompanied by discharge and an unpleasant odor?”

The woman froze upon hearing this and stopped in her tracks before turning back around.

Although her expression could not be seen clearly, her tone was filled with shock and suspicion. “How do you know?”

“I smelled it.” Tang Wan’s gaze fell upon her abdomen. “Your pregnancy looks to be around six or seven months. This condition should have persisted for quite some time already. If you do not seek treatment soon, both you and the child will be in danger.”

“What nonsense!” Before the woman could even speak, the maidservant became anxious. “How dare you curse my mistress?”

Tang Wan merely glanced at her calmly before her gaze landed on the jade pendant at the woman’s waist. “Next time Madam brings the Third Prince’s Consort out, remember to remove the jade pendant from her waist. Otherwise, others will recognize her identity at a glance.”

The maidservant: …

The woman: …

Only then did they notice the bright yellow jade pendant hanging at her waist.

“So the Princess of Wengnai truly lives up to her reputation,” the woman said after a moment with a soft laugh. She removed her veiled hat, revealing a radiant and beautiful face.

“Greetings, Third Prince’s Consort.” Tang Wan bent slightly at the waist, treating it as a formal greeting.

Physician Li and Xiao Yeshi, however, did not dare be careless and immediately prepared to kneel in salute.

“There is no need for the two of you to bow. I came out secretly,” the Third Prince’s Consort quickly stopped them.

Only then did Physician Li and Xiao Yeshi stop.

Physician Li recovered quickly and gestured respectfully toward the Third Prince’s Consort. “Since Madam is traveling incognito, please come into the inner courtyard to speak. There are few people at noon, but there will be many later, which would be inconvenient.”

The Third Prince’s Consort nodded, then looked toward Tang Wan. “Very well. May I ask whether the Princess of Wengnai has time to treat me?”

“Please.” Tang Wan nodded and took the lead toward the inner courtyard, also instructing Xiao Yeshi to bring tea.
