Jiang Yi suddenly realized.

It was no wonder the doctor felt this way.

Although Yu Shengshou was a bit talkative, he had a kind heart and often treated people for free. The problem was that while he could waive the consultation fees, he couldn’t do the same for the cost of medicine.

Medicine was provided by pharmacies, and he couldn’t afford to buy it for his patients.

As for Anesthesia Powder, it was available but quite expensive. For well-off families, they could tolerate the cost by gritting their teeth and using it. But it was out of reach for the poor, who could only bear the pain without it.

Yu Shengshou was used to this situation, so he didn’t think of it at first. He habitually asked Jiang Yi to get a cloth to stuff in Jiang Ning’s mouth.

Fortunately, Jiang Yi was knowledgeable and managed to prevent Jiang Ning from enduring the pain needlessly.

She had never expected that Anesthesia Powder would be available here.

Jiang Yi didn’t even need Yu Shengshou to write a prescription, she directly called the housekeeper to go to the pharmacy and fetch the medicine.

To Jiang Ning’s surprise, in this dynasty, the prescription for Anesthesia Powder was public knowledge and pharmacies had the ingredients prepared in advance.

After taking the brewed medicine, Jiang Ning indeed no longer felt pain in her leg.

Upon reflection, she realized that the medicine she had been given by the nursemaid in the secret chamber of the East Palace was similar.

But its effects were not as good.

Ms. Ma hated her, so she would not give her the best medicine.

Yu Shengshou pinched Jiang Ning’s leg and asked, “Does it hurt?”

Jiang Ning shook her head.

“Then I’ll start now.”

Yu Shengshou calmed his mind and began to set Jiang Ning’s bones.

Jiang Ning’s bones were only broken, and since Ms. Ma wasn’t as strong as a man, Jiang Ning’s injury appeared worse than it was. However, it was still much less severe than the Crown Prince’s shattered bones.

With the Anesthesia Powder, Jiang Ning didn’t feel pain, but she could still feel her bones moving.

It felt quite strange.

While she herself remained calm, Jiang Yi nearby was so tense that he nearly crushed a cup in his hand.

After the bones were set, Yu Shengshou treated the external wounds on her leg. He then wrapped it with gauze and immobilized it with thin wooden boards.

“You mustn’t remove the bandage, and you mustn’t move around,” Yu Shengshou earnestly warned Jiang Ning. “You need to let the bone mend properly, or else there will be trouble.”

Jiang Yi agreed repeatedly, “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure she doesn’t move.”

Yu Shengshou said, “In a few days, I’ll come back to check on her. As long as she stays still and rests, there shouldn’t be any major problems.”

Jiang Yi was still worried, “Will the bone heal in a few months?”

“Your sister is still young, so it will naturally heal well. But she must keep taking her medicine.”

“And after it’s healed?”

“It’ll be fine,” Yu Shengshou said as he packed up his medicine box.

Anxious, Jiang Yi asked, “What I mean is, after her bones have healed, will she be able to stand up and walk?”

“Do you even need to ask?” Yu Shengshou laughed. “As long as your sister takes good care of herself, eats well, and takes her medicine, I guarantee that in three months, she’ll be able to stand up and walk just like before.”

“What? She’ll still need a wheelchair?”

“Oh, what I meant was she’ll just like a normal person,” Yu Shengshou chuckled. “I momentarily forgot.”

“So she’ll be able to walk, run, and jump, just like the rest of us?” Jiang Yi asked again to confirm.

Seeing how concerned he was for his sister, Yu Shengshou smiled and replied, “The young master is right. As long as your sister can do everything you can do now, she’ll be able to do them in the future.”

Jiang Yi clapped his hands and exclaimed excitedly, “That’s great!”

He ran to Jiang Ning’s side and said with a smile, “Did you hear that, Seventh Sister? You’re going to be all right!”

Jiang Ning replied with a smile, “Yes, I heard.”
