The Pretty Wife of General Jinxiu Huanian

Chapter 57 Yunxi Saves People

That day, Yunxi packed up and left the Marquis' Mansion with her maid Cui'er.

Yunxi's pale blue dress, though not gorgeous, exuded a certain simplicity and elegance. Her steps were brisk, and the hem of her skirt swayed with her.

Cui'er followed beside her, also looking curious.

"Princess, what are we doing out here today?" Cui'er blinked her round eyes and asked Yunxi with her head tilted up.

Yunxi raised the corner of her mouth, revealing a gentle smile, and said, "I heard that many poor people on West Street are sick and have no money for treatment. Let's go and see if we can help."

After saying that, he took bigger steps.

Along the way, the streets were bustling with people selling all kinds of things, and the sounds of hawking were heard one after another.

Soon, the master and servant arrived at West Street, where they saw a group of people gathered in front of a dilapidated house, chatting with each other.

Yunxi hurried over, and Cui'er followed closely.

As I got closer, I saw a pale-faced woman lying in the room, looking exhausted. Beside her were two skinny children, crying at the top of their lungs, their little hands wiping their tears.

A burly man squatted nearby, his face dark and his brows furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly. He muttered, "What shall I do? What shall I do?"

Yunxi asked hurriedly: "Brother, what's wrong with sister-in-law?"

The man looked up at Yunxi, sighed and said, "My wife has been feeling unwell for a few days, and today she simply couldn't get up from the kang.

My family is so poor, how can we afford to hire a doctor?"

Yunxi squatted down, looked at the woman carefully, touched her forehead, turned around and said to Cui'er, "Go, get the medicine bag we brought."

Cui'er responded and ran quickly to find the medicine bag.

At this time, the man looked at Yunxi eagerly, his eyes full of expectation.

Yunxi comforted him: "Brother, don't worry, let's see if we can alleviate the condition of the eldest sister-in-law."

The man rubbed his hands, rubbed his feet back and forth on the ground, and kept muttering: "What should I do? My wife's illness is probably incurable."

A simple and honest man squatted aside with a sad face.

Yunxi stepped forward and said softly, "Let me take a look."

The man raised his head, his eyes full of doubt, "Girl, can you do it?"

Cui Er quickly said, "This is the princess of the Marquis' Mansion. She is a very skilled doctor."

Yunxi didn't bother to reply. He squatted down swiftly and carefully took the woman's pulse. His brows were slightly furrowed, and his beautiful eyebrows were twisted into a small knot.

"She's been overworked for a long time, and coupled with malnutrition, she caught a cold and it's been delayed for too long," said Yunxi.

She pursed her lips, her expression serious, her eyes full of worry about the woman's condition.

Then, she took out some herbs from her medicine box and instructed Cui'er to boil the medicine in an orderly manner.

At this time, several more people gathered around.

"Princess, my child has been coughing these days. Please take a look at him." An old woman said while holding a little boy.

The old woman's face was full of wrinkles, and her eyes were filled with anxiety and expectation.

Yunxi quickly asked the child to sit down, reached out and gently touched the child's forehead, and then put her ear close to the child's chest to listen.

In this way, Yunxi treated the poor people one after another. Beads of sweat gradually appeared on her forehead and slid down her fair cheeks, but she didn't even have time to wipe them off.

"Princess, please take a rest." Cui'er came over with the boiled medicine. Cui'er's little face was red from running, and she was breathing heavily when she spoke.

Yunxi waved her hand and said, "It's okay. Let the woman take the medicine first." As she spoke, her eyes did not move away from the patient, and her hands did not stop moving. She was examining the leg of an old man.

Yunxi was very busy here, and the young man in gorgeous clothes walked over with a swagger, followed by several servants who were showing off their power.

The young man was holding a fan in his hand, swaying it as he walked, with a smug look on his face.

"Hey, who is this? Meddling in other people's business." The young man said sarcastically.

When the man heard this, he stood up suddenly, stared at me and said, "How can you talk like that?

This is the princess of the Marquisate, who is kind enough to come and treat us!"

The young master snorted and squinted at Yunxi: "Princess? I think you just want to show off!"

Yunxi then raised her head, glanced at the young master, and said calmly, "I'm just doing my best to help these poor people. It's not as bad as you say."

The young master closed his fan, pointed at Yunxi and said, "You are a woman, why don't you stay at home and enjoy your life here instead of joining in the fun?"

Yunxi stood up, straightened her sleeves, and said slowly, "As the princess of a marquisate, I feel at ease when I can do something for the people.

But you, being so sarcastic, do you have any conscience at all?"

The people around also blamed the young man: "The princess is kind enough to help, don't make trouble here!"

When the young master saw that everyone was on Yunxi's side, his face became even uglier, but he couldn't get angry, so he just flicked his sleeves and left in shame with his servants.

Yunxi ignored him and continued to treat the people.

"Princess, you really have a kind heart like a bodhisattva." said a young daughter-in-law.

Yunxi smiled and said, "Don't say that, everyone. I'm happy to be able to help."

Yunxi was busy until the sun set, and then he took Cui'er away.

Yunxi looked up at him but ignored him, continuing to concentrate on treating the patient in front of her without stopping her hands.

Seeing Yunxi ignoring him like this, the young man was furious. He stamped his feet and shouted at the top of his voice, "Hey!

I'm talking to you, but you're pretending to be deaf and dumb, aren't you? "

Yunxi remained silent, but her brows furrowed slightly. Cui'er, standing by, couldn't help herself. She put her hands on her hips, glared at the young master, and shouted, "You ungrateful thing! Our princess is busy saving people, so how can she have time to deal with your unreasonable behavior?"

The young master was furious and took a step forward to pull Yunxi. Cui'er quickly blocked the way, opened her arms, and protected Yunxi like a chicken, saying loudly: "You scoundrel, don't be rude to the princess."

The young master pushed Cui'er away, cursing obscenely: "What princess? This young master is not afraid."

Cui'er staggered and almost fell to the ground.

At this time, Yunxi stood up, staring at the young master with a sharp gaze, and said sternly: "If you continue to make trouble, I will have you sent to the government."

Yunxi's voice was not loud, but it was full of majesty, and people dared not underestimate it.

The young man was frightened by Yunxi's aura. His eyes dodged for a moment, but he still snorted stubbornly, thinking to himself: This woman is really not easy to mess with.

But he muttered, "You are so awesome. I won't bother with you." After that, he walked away dejectedly with his servants.

Yunxi stopped looking at him and squatted down again to continue treating the patients. Her movements were skillful and gentle, as she asked about the patients' symptoms and observed them carefully.

"Princess, you've taken a lot of trouble." An old lady said gratefully. Yunxi smiled and replied, "Auntie, it's okay. If you take medicine on time, you will recover soon."

"Hmph, didn't you hear what I said?" The young man was unwilling to leave like that, so he turned back and shouted sarcastically from a distance away.

Without even looking up, Yunxi said, "If you have the time to cause trouble, why not do something good?"

The young man rolled his eyes in anger, but he could do nothing about it.

Time passed little by little, the sun gradually set, and Yunxi's forehead was covered with sweat. She raised her hand and wiped it with her sleeve, then continued to see the next patient.

"Princess, it's getting late. We should go back home." Cui'er said from the side.

Yunxi nodded, and seeing the grateful eyes of the people, her heart was filled with relief. She stood up and said to everyone, "Everyone, take good care of yourselves. If you have any difficulties in the future, please come to me."

The people said one after another: "Thank you, Princess. You are truly kind-hearted."

Yunxi smiled and said that after returning to the Marquis' Mansion, she was exhausted. She leaned back in the chair and gently pounded her waist.

A few days later, Yunxi came to West Street again with medicine and food.

"Princess, you are here." The people gathered around.

Yunxi asked about everyone's condition one by one, and when she saw that the woman who had been ill before was able to get up, a smile appeared on her face.

"Princess, we have no way to repay your kindness," said the woman.

Yunxi said: "If everyone can get better, that will be the greatest reward for me."

At this moment, an old man came over and said, "Princess, your good deeds have spread throughout the capital, and everyone praises you highly."

Yunxi said modestly: "I just did what I should do."

As time went by, Yunxi's deeds of helping poor people became more and more popular, and her reputation became more and more far-reaching.
