Chapter 693: Just a Sc.u.mbag to Her

Chen Yichen glanced at Madame Feng, who had been rescued by Yun Xi. She was also an aunt of his from his cousin’s side. He had noticed his other aunt, her mother-in-law, giving her prescriptions, and it had indeed seemed troublesome.

Yun Xi had dispelled these ideas with just a few words, so she had helped.

“Auntie, why don’t we wait for Yun Xi to write the prescription, and I will send it to you. You two won’t have to run back and forth.”

“All right, if it’s not too much trouble, Yichen.”

As soon as Chen Yichen had said that, Old Madame Jiang’s disapproving and provocative voice rang out from behind him, “Chen Chen, don’t do any such thing. She’s just a little girl, so how can she understand the principles of medicine and pharmacology? If your cousin gets food poisoning, who will be responsible?”

Hearing this voice, Yun Xi couldn’t help but raise her head. She met Old Madame Jiang’s disdainful and hateful eyes.

Regardless of whether it had been in her previous life or in this life, Old Madame Jiang didn’t like her. She was helpless against this.

It all boiled down to the fact that she thought, with Yun Xi’s background and fate, Yun Xi wasn’t worthy of her precious grandson, Jiang Henglin. In her last life, the Old Madame had tried her best to separate them and had caused a lot of trouble as a result.

In this life, Yun Xi had visited the Old Master several times at the Jiang family’s house, but the Old Madame had always been contemptuous, so Yun Xi wasn’t surprised by her derision.

To Yun Xi, her precious grandson was just a sc.u.mbag. As if she actually wanted him…

“Grandma…” Chen Yichen looked at Old Madame Jiang, who had suddenly appeared to ruin the scene, and he looked at Yun Xi a bit awkwardly. Then he stood directly in front of Old Madame Jiang.

“…Grandma’s illness, as well as my mother’s and mine, have all been cured by Yun Xi. Even if you don’t believe in her, please don’t slander her like this. Even though Yun Xi is young, her medical skills are no worse than those of professional doctors.”

“If you keep speaking up for her, who knows what will happen. This is a matter of life and death. What if people take the wrong medicine and die?”

Chen Yichen felt that, regarding this issue, he and Old Madame Jiang would never see eye to eye.

As a young man, he couldn’t refute an elder to her face, but he didn’t want to see Yun Xi being wronged either. He was conflicted.

Chinese medicine was all about believing. You either believed in it or you didn’t. For nonbelievers, no explanations worked.

Old Madame Jiang didn’t believe that Yun Xi was capable of curing anyone. Even if Old Madame Chen had been cured, it must have been just pure luck.

Why were the doctors of traditional Chinese medicine more skilled as they got older? It was because this profession required the acc.u.mulation of experience and time, so what would she know as a little girl?

Old Madame Chen couldn’t bear to hear this, and she frowned. “In-law, Yun Xi’s medical skills are very good. When she cured my illness, even those old men in the General Hospital of the Military Region were very impressed. If it weren’t for Yun Xi, I’m afraid I really wouldn’t be able to stand up today.”

“It’s just that you were lucky. If you’d been unlucky, what would have happened?”

“Grandma, don’t scare people here. Everyone is so happy to gather here today, so don’t say these words to jinx things.”

“That’s right!” It was almost the New Year, and no one wanted to hear any bad news. Several other women followed suit and repeated the same thing.

They already didn’t like the Old Madame of the Jiang family that much. She was too harsh and mean, not at all like a sophisticated blue-blood old madame should be.

It was really a joke for her, at her old age, to try to make things difficult for her future granddaughter-in-law.

Yun Xi silently watched as Old Madame Jiang shot herself in the foot. Even if she didn’t say a word, naturally someone would stand up and speak for her.

After all, the Chen family was indebted to her for several lifesaving favors, not just ordinary favors.

People who had never had any diseases wouldn’t understand, and, if they truly understood, they wouldn’t be so harsh toward her.
