Ye Ling had no choice but to resort to metaphysical methods to avoid trouble. Most people in the countryside were quite superstitious, so it seemed normal for her to make demands on patients as a divine doctor.

After Jin Zhi and Wan Wen left, Ye Ling returned to the dormitory. She didn’t even take off her coat before falling asleep on the bed.

Ye Ling woke up at dusk, washed her face, combed her hair, changed her clothes, and headed to Wan Wen’s house to see Wan Wen’s mother.

As Ye Ling left the dormitory, a few young female scholars who were busy drying clothes began to discuss her.

“It’s already so late. Why is she going out?”

“What else can she do? It’s probably nothing serious.”

“I heard someone came looking for her during the day. Did any of you see what happened?”

A young female scholar with freckles on her face whispered, “The ones looking for her are a middle-aged woman and a young woman. The middle-aged woman is even holding a little child.”

Hearing this, the other young female scholar started to make various speculations. “Didn’t Li Han say that Ye Ling seduced many men? Maybe one of the men’s family members is looking for her this time?”

“I think it’s possible, but if that’s the case, those people who came during the day should be here to cause trouble for Ye Ling. Why haven’t we heard them arguing or fighting?”

“Maybe they resolved it privately? Who knows? We haven’t experienced this kind of thing before. Maybe they already have experience, ” One of the educated young women chuckled.

As the sky darkened, Ye Ling reached Wan Wen’s house.

Wan Wen was already waiting. As soon as Ye Ling entered, she respectfully poured her a cup of tea.

In the room, a few middle-aged men and a middle-aged woman were sitting.

“These are my two brothers,” Wan Wen introduced to Ye Ling. “This is my younger brother, and this is my sister-in-law.”

Everyone nodded at Ye Ling. Their attitudes were generally polite, but the oldest among them eyed Ye Ling with suspicion.

“Is this the divine doctor you invited? Isn’t she just a child?” The man sounded dissatisfied and anxious.

“Big brother, despite Doctor Ye’s young age, her abilities are not small. You’ll find out when you ask around. I don’t want to talk too much with you,” Wan Wen said impatiently.

Hearing Wan Wen’s words, “Go out and ask around,” Ye Ling couldn’t help but smile wryly. Had her reputation already reached this level?

Wan Wen’s elder brother snorted coldly. “Up to you. But I’ll say this in advance, I won’t pay a swindler.”

“Alright, alright,” Ye Ling quickly intervened when she saw that Wan Wen was about to argue with her elder brother. “Let me check on the old lady first.”

Wan Wen rolled her eyes at her elder brother and led Ye Ling into a bedroom.

As soon as she entered the bedroom, Ye Ling could detect a deathly scent. It was like a mixture of moldy wood, cold autumn rain, and burnt ashes.

Walking in, she saw an extremely thin old lady lying on a wooden bed.

The old lady’s cheeks were sunken, and her mouth was open. Her breathing was weak and difficult, as if she were not conscious.

Wan Wen, with tears in her eyes, walked to her mother’s side. “My mother’s health has always been good, but for some reason, two months ago, she first felt a stomachache. Then her eyes started to blur, and eventually, she couldn’t even stand up.”

After Ye Ling understood the basic situation, she comforted Wan Wen and sat beside the bed. She took the old lady’s skinny arm out of the blanket and pressed her finger on the pulse.

The pulse was weak as if it might stop at any moment. Ye Ling patiently analyzed and judged.

Then, she placed the old lady’s arm under the blanket, pulled open her collar, and pried open her mouth to observe.

Wan Wen was so nervous that she didn’t dare to speak, afraid that Ye Ling would suddenly say her mother was hopeless.

After checking, Ye Ling retracted her hands.

“What’s the situation, Doctor Ye?” Wan Wen asked with a trembling voice.

“What does your mother eat?” Ye Ling inquired with a frown.

Wan Wen was stunned for a moment. “It’s nothing. Just the ordinary food that villagers eat.”

Ye Ling shook her head. “Anything else?”

This question puzzled Wan Wen. Since she didn’t usually live at home, she didn’t know much about the situation there.

“Grandma also consumed the yam powder,” the little girl beside Wan Wen said timidly..
