The Talented Doctor 21 A Shining Star

Wet Nurse Chen's reaction was not what He Xi had expected. She had a.s.sumed that Wet Nurse Chen would see her as a monster because of her sudden change.

Her eyes turned gentle, and she summarized everything that she had been through in the last two days after some pondering: "Wet Nurse, you just need to remember that the Nalan Hexi from the past is dead. From now on, I'm no longer the useless thing that I used to be. I'll never let anyone bully us again, even if they're from the Nalan Residence."

Even though she still was not sure if she could be a cultivator, she was not going to shortchange herself and be a useless thing. Even if she did not have the conditions, she would come up with ways to make herself stronger.

"I'm so useless to let Missy go through so much!" Wet Nurse Chen was in tears. "But now that Missy can be a cultivator… that's great! I knew that you were not useless. Madam had said that you would be a s.h.i.+ning star. Madam must be blessing you from above… sobs… Missy, I'm so happy!"

He Xi was still a little confused. What did Wet Nurse Chen mean by that? Moreover, how was she so accepting of the change?

However, she tossed all her worries aside and checked on Wet Nurse Chen's pulse.

"Missy, don't worry about me. This kind of injury is nothing for a servant like me. I'm used to it already."

Wet Nurse Chen knew that Nalan Hexi did not know medicine. She a.s.sumed from the girl's serious expression and prolonged silence that the girl did not know what was going on. "If you're really worried, I can go get some medicine from the roaming doctor in town tomorrow. It's nothing serious. I still have to see you s.h.i.+ne in Jin Ling and marry someone gloriously!" Roaming doctors were subpar doctors only visited by the poor and the ailing.

He Xi was touched by what she heard. He put down Wet Nurse Chen's wrist gently with a small smile. "Don't worry, your injury is not serious. I'll cure it."

Wet Nurse Chen thought that He Xi was talking about getting a doctor for her. Little did she know that the girl had come up with a diagnosis and was thinking about the herbs and remedies for her condition.

"Okay, I believe you. Missy, you've had a long day; why don't you go to the suite in the east wing to get some proper rest?"

The east wing used to be where Butler Lee and his mistress lived. Of course, Zhang San and the other servants had cleaned it out.

…

The residence that Nalan Residence had arranged for He Xi was dilapidated.

The only decent-looking place was the suite Butler Lee had taken.

The bed was comfy and soft. There were not valuable decorations in the room, but it was quite well-equipped. There was even a simple but elegant dressing table.

He Xi had had a long day, and the body of the host was weak. When she settled down, she felt pain wash over her.
