The Abandoned Wife of a Military Family: Your disguise has been exposed again.

Chapter 211 A Heart on Fire

"Yes," the servant replied and withdrew.

Chen Yuniang leaned back in her chair, her face beaming with joy.

She had been having a lot of bad luck lately, but now, finally something has made her happy.

The Yun family and the Regent are about to get married. This grand gift from her will surely be unforgettable for the Yun family for the rest of their lives!
A flash of resentment crossed Chen Yuniang's eyes.

……

Yunwei was unaware that Chen Yuniang was plotting against her.

That day, having nothing else to do, she went to Qianjintang to make her rounds again, only to find that there were more patients than usual.

There aren't enough doctors to serve in the clinic.

Seeing the patients already lined up outside the door, she had no choice but to put on a veil, sit behind the table, and help treat the patients.

With her help, the patients who were waiting in line were quickly treated and received their medicine.

But patients kept coming in one after another.

She was so busy all day that she didn't even have time to drink water.

After seeing the last patient, everyone was so exhausted that they could barely stand up straight.

"The number of patients has increased immediately since the weather turned cold these past few days," a younger doctor complained.

Hearing the young doctor's complaints, Dr. Qin rubbed his aching arms and said worriedly, "Every year around this time, there are a lot of people catching colds. The wealthy aren't too bad off; they can just see a doctor, get some medicine, and recover. But for the poor, once they catch a cold, it's much more serious because they don't eat well, do heavy labor, and can't afford medical treatment. Many don't make it through and die..."

Other doctors, upon hearing this, also expressed their feelings.

"Isn't that right? The weather is getting colder and colder, and who knows how many people will die from the cold."

The atmosphere in the clinic suddenly became heavy.

Yunwei remained silent.

Indeed, when the weather gets cold, many people catch a cold, especially the poor. They have no money for treatment and can only tough it out. If they can't get through it, they die.

Thinking of this, she said, "Our Qianjin Hall provides free medical consultations for the poor every year. We originally planned to wait for Steward Ding to return before making arrangements, but there are so many sick people right now, so let's set the time for the free consultation tomorrow. Who among you is willing to come with me to the outskirts of the city tomorrow to provide free medical consultations for those poor people?"

Doctor Qin was both surprised and delighted. "Has the master made a decision?"

Yun Wei nodded, "Mm."

“Count me in then,” Doctor Qin said immediately.

The other doctors also chimed in, "I'll go too."

"I'll go as well."

……

Seeing this, Yunwei said, "In that case, let's all go together. Qianjintang will be closed for the next two days to provide free medical consultations for the people."

Upon hearing this, the doctors' faces lit up with joy, and they bowed respectfully to her, saying, "Your kindness is truly a blessing to the people."

Yunwei waved her hand, "Then you should prepare well. Also, get some medicine to prevent colds. Have the servants cook it tomorrow so we can give it to the people passing by."

"Yes," the doctors agreed.

Yunwei gave the waiter a few instructions and then went straight back.

Qianjintang provides free medical consultations and medicine to the poor every year during the spring and winter seasons. However, the matter has been put on hold now that Manager Ding has taken several other doctors to Yangzhou.

Since she's free anyway, she can handle this matter.

Qianjintang employs many highly skilled doctors, so she doesn't usually need to personally see patients. She is only needed to treat patients with very difficult and complicated conditions.

But she would go and help out at the annual free clinics.

When Rong Zhen learned that she would be taking doctors from Qianjintang to provide free medical services outside the city the next day, he assigned Sang Qing and a team of guards to her for her use.

Yunwei did not refuse.

Because the news of Qianjintang's free medical consultations for the people would spread, it would surely attract many people, resulting in a large crowd and requiring manpower to maintain order. Since she needed to get up early tomorrow, Yunwei went to bed early after dinner.

……

The next day, before dawn, Yunwei got up.

As she finished getting ready to leave, she bumped into Rong Zhen heading to court.

When Rong Zhen saw her come out, he went up to her and gave her a few words of advice. He then helped her fasten her cloak a little tighter. "It's cold outside the city. If you're tired, come back early. Don't push yourself."

“I know,” Yun Wei nodded.

After they each got into their carriages, they set off.

One went to the palace, while the other went outside the city.

When Yunwei arrived outside the city, the staff of Qianjintang had already set up a temporary shed and a stove with a large pot on it, where they were boiling the medicine to prevent colds.

Qianjintang holds two free clinics every year, and the staff here are all elderly, so they are very skilled at doing these things.

Upon seeing Yunwei arrive, several shop assistants hurriedly stepped forward to greet her, "Boss."

Yun Wei nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard work. We also want to do something for the people. We're grateful to the boss for giving us this opportunity." The workers were beaming and spoke sincerely.

Yunwei was very satisfied with their condition.

From doctors to shop assistants, everyone at Qianjintang has a kind heart and is willing to do things for the people.

"I bought breakfast for everyone on my way here. Eat first, we'll be busy later," Yunwei said, pointing to the table next to her.

"Thank you, boss." The waiters didn't stand on ceremony, went to get breakfast, and squatted there to eat.

Soon after, several doctors from Qianjintang arrived.

After greeting Yunwei, he went to get breakfast.

After everyone finished eating, Yunwei gathered them together and talked about what everyone needed to do next.

After arranging everything, Yunwei and several doctors sat behind the table, waiting for the people to arrive.

Although the pharmacy was simple, the words "Qianjintang Free Clinic" on the banner were particularly eye-catching. With the help of the staff's verbal promotion, it quickly attracted the people who were queuing up to enter the city.

"Are you doctors from Qianjintang?"

Some of the people asked excitedly.

"Exactly." Yun Wei and the others nodded with smiles.

Upon receiving a definite answer, the man was overjoyed and, wiping away tears, said, "My mother caught a cold a few days ago, and I was worried about not having enough money to hire a doctor for her. You've come right away, so I'll go back and carry my mother here."

"Go ahead, we'll be providing free medical consultations here for the next couple of days," Dr. Qin said kindly, stroking his beard.

The situation is pretty much the same for everyone else.

Someone in the family got sick, but we didn't have the money for treatment.

Now that he knows the medical consultation is free, he immediately ran home to pick up his family.

Some people were on their way to the city to see a doctor, but when they saw that Qianjintang was offering free medical consultations, they stopped going into the city and immediately sat down to have them treated.

Suddenly, the previously deserted medicine shed became bustling with activity.

The news spread like wildfire, and soon more and more people knew that Qianjintang had set up a medicine shed outside the city to provide free medical consultations and medicine to the poor.

In just a short while, a long queue formed outside Qianjintang's medicine stall.

The main reason is that Qianjintang provides free medical consultations and medicines to poor people every year, and has an excellent reputation. The people trust Qianjintang, so they all rushed over as soon as they heard the news.

There were poor people outside the city, and people inside the city who couldn't afford medical treatment.

The cold wind howled, but the hearts of the people were burning with warmth.
